Captain Qing held the tea cup in both hands and paced back and forth in the room. He had never really seen Li Yuan fight the Japanese. He asked the soldiers who had participated in the battle countless times, and he always wondered about the Kuomintang fighting in the 49th Army.

Why is it so capable?

I also learned how to use a sand table from the platoon leaders below. These were the platoon leaders who were taught by Li Yuan first.

I went to see it when I was teaching, and Company Commander Qing Dal didn’t even bother to learn how children played house with a few lumps of mud! But now the company seems to have put them on it too.

There is only one chair at the company headquarters and a long bench for the others to sit on. The chair is currently occupied by Secretary Wu. How can anyone sit and change clothes?

He also scraped the mud on his shoes over and over again on the legs of the chair. This chair had fallen off the Japanese car when it was bombed and overturned on the side of the road during the Japanese ambush. Later, the Japanese took the car

It was taken away. I don’t know why the chair was not taken away. It was antique and a little distressing.

Wu Tong roughly talked about the recent situation. Wang Shoupeng, a progressive young man from Changxing, and others initiated the establishment of the "Changxing Youth Anti-Enemy Support Association" at the Prince's Palace in Changchaojie, and actively carried out anti-Japanese propaganda activities. Organizationally, they have contacted them, but among this team

With the manpower arranged by the military commander, we still hope to recruit this team.

Now the first platoon has followed Li Yuan to Shanghai and the time of return is uncertain. This time we will arrange for the second and third platoons to go together to fight this group of Japanese soldiers, while the fourth platoon will look after the new recruits.

The preparations for the operation were to go to Qingwujie early in the morning. The headquarters was temporarily placed in the Zhu family compound, and they went south from Qingwujie to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops. However, the intelligence work was not perfect at the moment. Wu Tong had to investigate the whereabouts of the Japanese.

At that time, the company headquarters was temporarily located in the Zhu family compound, and it was easy to get the news directly here. There is now a squad of soldiers on duty there, and even the tree house has people on guard duty every day.

At dawn, the Independent Company, led by Captain Qing, set out on the journey again. This time, it brought two machine guns. The soldiers had also mastered the Japanese's tricks. There should be no problem in going to the battlefield. It's just the way of loading the ammunition.

The soldiers didn't like it very much if they had to put them one bridge at a time.

The bullets were all Tomosaka 65 bullets, so there was no problem. Although the Japs' rifles were much more accurate, the soldiers basically didn't change them to avoid attracting the Japs' attention.

...

"Leave quickly, don't think about the food!"

"What are you talking about? The Japs are really here?" Fan Yiqiang, the president of Changxing Branch of the Red Gun Club, stood on the threshing floor in the south of the village and looked at the two members of the Red Gun Club who hurried over. If this is true,

There can be no ambiguity. Fan Yiqiang quickly ordered his brothers to go to the east of the village to find out where the Japanese were heading, and asked the villagers to run into the mountains. Most of the people were still packing up. How could he be willing to throw away his own belongings?

"

The anxious members of the Red Gun Club saw that the people were unwilling to put down their things, so they had no choice but to help clean up. After a while, the brother who went to the east of the village came back and said to Fan Yiqiang: "There are more than ten

Japs, dozens of Japs."

How far is it?

Seeing that Fan Yiqiang was still hesitating, he hurriedly said: "It's only three or four miles away. We can't waste any more time now. Let the villagers run first. Let's run to the north immediately. There is still a team there. Maybe it's still too late."

Fan Yiqiang raised his head and looked at the villagers who were still packing their belongings, and immediately ordered them all to leave immediately, and not to ask for anything. With the help of the Red Gun congregation, a group of people started to set off to the north of the village, but could not walk more than a mile.

, just as he was about to enter the woods, a member of the Red Spear congregation who was inquiring about the news hurried back.

Reported to the leader Fan Yiqiang: "A group of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops were also found in the south, and they can no longer escape in the south."

Fan Yiqiang's heart sank. Something was not good. The Japanese were attacking from the east. There was an ambush to the south. There were checkpoints on the Japanese highway to the north. The west was not necessarily safe either. Now they were surrounded by Japanese from all sides. This time there was no chance of good luck!

Changxing County had fallen at the end of last year, and the Japanese subsequently burned, killed, and looted. Except for a few houses and buildings in the county that were retained as garrison by the Japanese army, the rest were burned. More than 400 thatched huts, more than 3,000 bungalows, and high-rise buildings were burned.

In the middle of the afternoon, Ruoxi Higher Primary School, the Chenghuang Temple, and two private libraries were destroyed at the same time. A large amount of materials and cultural relics were looted by the Japanese army. Burning continued for seven days and nights inside and outside the city. More than 90% of the houses were destroyed, and the Japanese army entered the city.

They killed people on sight, killing more than 20 people on Xiaobei Street, and more than 50 people on the Huanghuangwan River Beach outside Xiaodongmen. They also imprisoned civilian husbands captured from Pinghu and Jiaxing and burned them to death in Guangsheng Pawnshop. When cleaning up the ruins afterwards, they removed the corpses.

More than 500 tools. After the Japanese army captured Changxing County, the Central China Front Army headquarters moved to Changxing. Commander Matsui Iwane was stationed at Yang Jushan's house near the bus station. Later, he stationed here as a springboard for an all-out attack on Nanjing, leaving only one brigade of more than 700 people.

Tongjin began to force various local forces and some national army prisoners to join the puppet army to help the tiger.

A group of ordinary people saw the Japs and puppet troops in front of them. They had already known how terrifying the Japs and puppet troops were, and they panicked. Many people started to run to their homes again, ran directly back into the house, and closed the door, thinking that they could hide from the Japs.

's claws.

Speaking of the Red Spear Society, it is also known as the Red School and the Hard Belly Society. This society was originally a sect of the Boxer Rebellion. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, warlords were fighting, soldiers and bandits were rioting, and farmers were out of self-defense, so many people joined the Red Spear Society.

Guns will protect home.

At the beginning, those who joined the association were required to prepare a large sword and a red-tasseled gun. They also had to drink talisman water, recite incantations, and practice the so-called "invulnerability" skills. Later, this peasant armed force was gradually controlled by the landlords and gentry.

The Red Spear Club evolved from various folk sword organizations that practiced Golden Bell Kung Fu. It played a role in preventing bandits and protecting the hometown to a certain extent during the chaotic period of the late Qing Dynasty.

The mage-teacher's spells are used to strengthen combat effectiveness and cohesion, thus possessing many characteristics of the Huidao Sect. And because most of its members use spears with red tassels as weapons, they first got the name of the "Red Spear Club".

Members of the Red Spear Society all get along equally with each other, and there is no obvious distinction between high and low status. This is a significant feature that distinguishes it from other huidao sects. Like many huidao sects in this period, the gods worshiped by the Red Spear Society are also diverse and diverse.

Qiduo. From the mythical Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun, Sun Wukong, to the historical heroes Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Huang Tianba and so on. Sacrificing gods is a very important activity of the Red Spear Club.

Before every battle, the Gun Club will burn incense, pray, and set up an altar to trance the gods.

The organizational form of the Red Spear Society looks like a religion but not a religion, like a regiment but not a regiment, and its internal structure is relatively simple. At first, it mostly used natural villages and towns as units to set up the basic organization - schools (also called Xiangtang), and each school had a senior.

A respected person from the village will be responsible for presiding over the affairs of the association. The senior is responsible for hiring teachers, teaching skills such as swallowing spells, practicing boxing sticks, burning incense to pray to gods, etc., and training members to fight in battle. Each school is equipped with several clerks who are responsible for presiding over the meeting.

They are responsible for purchasing groceries, setting up the meeting hall, communicating with external parties, and managing personnel matters in the association. Most of the members of the Red Spear Association are fellow villagers, and most of them are related to each other, so they can take care of each other when in contact.

The same hatred.

With the expansion of the scale of its organization, the Red Spear Association has a "regiment" level organization. The "regiment" of the Red Spear Association is composed of several schools, and the leader is the regiment leader, regiment teacher or senior. Later, out of each red spear association,

In order to meet the needs of joint operations organized by gun associations, "joint headquarters" or "general headquarters" appeared at the regiment level, which governed one or several counties. Later, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Spear Associations in order to adapt to the needs of the war

, some adjustments have been made in the organizational structure. Some of the original student organizations of the Red Spear Society were changed into detachments, squadrons, brigade, regiments or columns, etc., and their leaders also became captains, regimental commanders, brigade commanders and commander-in-chief respectively.

President etc.

The entire set of rules and precepts of the Red Spear Society are combined with the teaching of Qigong and martial arts, claiming that they can be "invulnerable" in battle. The members of the Red Spear Society are deceived by this statement. In addition, before fighting, the members of the Red Spear Society must swallow cinnabar and saltpeter mixed with it.

Because of the talisman, one can move forward bravely without fear of life or death.

The Red Gun Club is a spontaneous armed force of peasants. It is inevitably characterized by ignorance and blindness. Children of the rich and poor are mixed together when they join the club. Gradually, the rich with money and guns and some members of the guild have the right to speak.

, and became leaders. Later, the leaders of the Red Spear Association were basically children from rich families.

After these rich people came to power, the revolutionary nature of the earliest Red Spear Clubs who resisted government troops, taxes, and bandits was greatly reduced. Local warlords sent people to infiltrate some of the Red Spear Clubs into power, allowing the Red Spear Clubs to attack other warlords.

The Red Spear Club became cannon fodder. At the same time, the Red Spear Club was also reorganized into a militia group because of its merits in fighting bandits. Some of them were praised and rewarded by the government.

Therefore, the Red Spear Club is a local armed force. As long as there are a large number of people, the members of the Red Spear Club will basically go to exterminate bandits nearby, which plays a certain role in social stability during the period of warlord chaos.

After the Japanese occupied Changxing, some members of the Red Spear Society followed the rich and joined the Maintenance Society and defected to the Japanese, while others insisted on fighting against the Japanese.

Fan Yiqiang still had some national integrity and did not surrender to the Japanese. The people who came to clean up this time were also part of the puppet troops brought by the Japanese. These puppet troops were members of the Red Spear Society.

Fan Yiqiang didn't think what the Japs would do to him, but he didn't want to follow the Japs. Now he was surrounded by the Japs. Maybe the puppet soldiers inside were still thinking about their old feelings. He could give them some food and some money to get rid of them.

Lose.

Soon the Japs pressed in from three directions: southeast, west, and east, and began to drive all the people who had fled home to the threshing floor. The Japs, the second lieutenant, began to talk about the ***** tricks, demanding that the people of the resistance organization be moved to the threshing floor.

They handed over translators and established a puppet army in the village. All young and strong people had to join the puppet army and serve the Japanese Empire. They also had to give all the food to the Japanese to take away.

The poor people have insufficient spring food, and they have to wait until the summer grain is harvested before they can pay. If they pay all the grain this time, they will have no way to survive, and spring sowing has just begun.

Fan Yiqiang begged the traitor translator, could he please give it some time? The current rations were insufficient, could he hand over part of it, and allow him and his brothers to reconsider joining the puppet army?

The Japanese second lieutenant was not very concerned about the purge operation in the war zone. His main purpose of coming out this time was to suppress the resistance organization. At this time, the people seemed to be quite cooperative.

Japs are always Japs and beasts. The second lieutenant had an idea for a few young girls in the crowd, so he called a few Japs and went to win over the girls.

Now Fan was stunned. He agreed to fuck with you, but he wanted to ruin his own sisters, so he refused. All the members of the Red Spear Club, more than 100 people, rushed forward and started fighting with the Japanese soldiers.
