    Gaozi Town is located 12 kilometers west of Zhenjiang City. It was established in the Song Dynasty. It is a famous ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River and a place where merchants gather. It has a long-standing reputation.  The Gaozi River originates from Donggang at the southern foot of Shili Changshan Mountain in the southwest of Zhenjiang, and winds through the east of the town. During the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, a large stone bridge was built over the Gaozi River in the northeast of the town to connect east-west traffic.  After occupying Nanjing, the Japanese Central China Front stationed a brigade and two puppet army regiments in Zhenjiang to protect the safety of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway.  Lieutenant Xue Zhiwen, commander of the second platoon of the first company of the New Second Army Special Battalion, was hiding in a private house in the northern suburbs of Gaozi Town. He and several soldiers around him were wearing Japanese military uniforms and looked at the large stone bridge in the distance from time to time.  It was already noon, and the entire Gaozi Town was as calm as water. Gradually, a long blast of train whistles came from the east, and the earth began to tremble slightly.  Xue Zhiwen waved his hand and said to the soldiers beside him: "The train is coming. Notify the engineering team to prepare for blasting. "Yes." A soldier responded, jumped out of the house like a civet cat, and ran towards the big stone bridge. He didn't wait for half a minute.  , the billowing smoke from the locomotive appeared on the eastern horizon, and the sound of "boom, boom, boom" became louder and louder as time passed. "Boom -" "Boom -" A violent explosion sounded on the stone.  There was a sound on the bridge, and the train that was still speeding shook a few times. As the stone bridge quickly collapsed, the rails were twisted, deformed, and broken. First, the locomotive fell into the river, and then the entire train fell off like a snakeskin without a spine.  After falling down, most of them fell into the Gaozi River. "Okay, the engineering team did a good job. It's time for us to take action."  The group met the Toda Squadron of the Japanese Guards Division who came from Zhenjiangxi Railway Station to check the situation.  Extremely embarrassed. ¡°Baga, what¡¯s going on?  " Lieutenant Toda had a sinister expression on his face. He stared at Xue Zhiwen, who was in a mess and covered in dirt and filth, as well as the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulders. He frowned. " Toda Takaharu spoke Japanese with a Kansai accent and spoke too fast. Xue Zhiwen  Unable to react for a moment, he wiped the sweat off his face and took the opportunity to consider how to explain the situation to Toda. "Sir, I am the captain of the 13th Infantry Regiment, Kaji Komura, in charge of escorting.  A batch of supplies went to Nanjing.¡±  They must be the guerrillas of the New Second Army. They planted explosives under the bridge piers and detonated them immediately when the train crossed the bridge. All the imperial officers and soldiers in the front carriage were killed. We stayed in the last two carriages and were attacked by the New Second Army before we were shocked.  , finally managed to break out of the siege.  " "It's pitiful that the train was full of supplies. In the last carriage we were in, there were more than 30 comfort women brought from North Korea. Now they have all fallen into the hands of the Chinese. Lieutenant General Ogisu in Nanjing is still waiting.  I don¡¯t even know what to do with this batch of supplies." Ogisu Libing is the commander of the 13th Division and the commander of the Nanjing garrison. Xue Zhiwen performed well, crying and crying. "Baga, stop crying.  ,How could the Imperial Japanese Army be intimidated by mere Chinese guerrillas?  " When Lieutenant Toda heard that there were guerrillas, not only did he not feel fear, but his eyes lit up. He grabbed Xue Zhiwen's hand and asked hurriedly: "Let me ask you, how many are there?  " "After the train derailed, they immediately robbed the supplies in the last few carriages Their size should not exceed three hundred people. If the imperial army escorting them had not been seriously injured, they would not have been able to get close to our train. But there is a situation  We need to pay attention. There are many Chinese people who are fishing in troubled waters."  " "Baga" Lieutenant Toda gritted his teeth and with the help of two sergeants, he climbed up a two-meter-high earthen wall next to the railway and raised his telescope to see what was going on on Wuzhou Mountain. Wuzhou Mountain is high away from the mountain.  Not far from Zizhen, it belongs to the branch of Maoshan Mountains. The main peak is more than 300 meters. It is named because you can see Yangzhou, Guazhou, Zhenzhou, Taizhou and Runzhou from the telescope lens.  With large and small bags of things, they ran hard towards the mountainous area. There were some people in military uniforms mixed in the crowd, which made Lieutenant Toda very excited. The New Second Army came from the Japanese 114th Division and the 6th Division.  , the 2nd Division, the 7th Division, the 18th Division, the 4th Division, the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Kunisaki Detachment, and achieved a series of brilliant achievements.As a result, in the eyes of the Japanese invaders, Wu Ming was simply a devil with his hands stained with Japanese blood. The New Second Army naturally became a thorn in the side of the Japanese army.  The arrogance and contempt for the Chinese developed since the Meiji Restoration are deeply rooted in the bones of every Japanese officer. With the New Second Army as a whetstone, many middle- and low-level officers of the Japanese army train hard in order to one day  Led his troops to defeat the New Second Army.  Now that the target appears, Lieutenant Toda has no reason not to follow up, bite the tail and eliminate the opponent.  Although Lieutenant Toda was temporarily carried away by his enthusiasm, the long-term good training and strict battlefield regulations still allowed him to calm down and observe carefully.  Among the people who fled, there were only more than 300 soldiers of the New Second Army, while Lieutenant Toda had a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army and a regiment of the Imperial Army, totaling 1,500 people.  "The enemy is outnumbered and we cannot miss the opportunity" Lieutenant Toda quickly issued a pursuit order. As soon as Ma Dezhong, the commander of the Royal Association Army, opened his mouth to dissuade him, fearing that it was a trap by the New Second Army, he was slapped hard by Xue Zhiwen.  Xue Zhiwen, who had the rank of second lieutenant as a cover, jumped up and pointed at Ma Dezhong and yelled, saying that he was scared to death by the New Second Army and that the Imperial Army did not need such cowards.  Ma Dezhong, who comes from a large landowner family and whose ancestral home is Jurong, was the head of the Jiangsu Security Forces stationed in Danyang before becoming a traitor. When Danyang fell, the troops were dispersed. Ma Dezhong, who hid in his home in the countryside of Jurong, was blocked by the Japanese troops who came to visit him.  Faced with the choice between life and death, he chose to live a low life, and his bones had long been bent. Therefore, although he was unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to say anything in front of the Japanese officers. He had no choice but to lead his soldiers, follow the Japanese, and flee south.  Chinese soldiers and civilians chased him.  Although Wuzhou Mountain is a mountain, the areas close to the plains are mostly gentle hills with low altitude. There is a long and narrow canyon between Bazikou and Qimagang, leading to Weigang in the south.  People entered the canyon one after another. They had a great harvest this time.  Although there are no weapons and equipment on this train, there are still a lot of canned foods to eat, sake to drink, and cotton-padded jackets to use.  People carried it on their shoulders, picked it up or carried it, and some even pushed wheelbarrows, walking very fast.  The officers and soldiers of the New Second Army fell behind to cover the retreat of the people.  Halfway up the mountain facing the east of the riding post with an altitude of more than 200 meters, Liu Zhenning put down the telescope in his hand and retreated behind the grass more than one meter high.  Seeing Lan Feng, Li Yong and others surrounding them, Liu Zhenning cleared his voice and said: "Everyone, this is our first coordinated operation behind enemy lines. We must fight well and strive to defeat the more than a thousand puppet troops.  Destroy them all. Please remember that the army is waiting for our good news, and we must not let him down." "Yes" the officers replied in unison.  "Okay, let's disperse and go back to make final preparations." Liu Zhenning waved his hand, and Lan Feng and others immediately ran to their respective positions.  Under the command of Lieutenant Toda, the Japanese and puppet troops quickly broke into the mouth of the canyon like bows and arrows.  He was about to catch up with that group of cheap mobs. Lieutenant Toda kept driving away the puppet troops, but he did not notice that several Japanese soldiers who reported Xue Zhiwen were missing.  Five minutes later, the Japanese and puppet troops had completely entered the canyon. The forwards were less than 400 meters away from the New Second Army officers and soldiers who were behind to cover. Lieutenant Toda pulled his neck excitedly and shouted orders to the left and right: "Kill them!"  Before Lieutenant Toda finished speaking, a series of explosions suddenly came from behind - "Boom -" "Boom, boom, boom -" A burst of fire shot out, and the filled smoke quickly covered the mouth of the canyon.  The north wind blew thick gunpowder smoke toward the center of the canyon, and bursts of "click-click" shooting sounds came from the mountains on both sides of the canyon behind. "Baga, what's going on?"  " Lieutenant Toda suddenly felt something bad, but his sight was obscured by thick smoke and he couldn't see clearly for a while. With a bang, he pulled out his saber. Toda grabbed a puppet soldier running from behind and asked loudly  Said: "What happened next?  " Lieutenant Toda spoke in Japanese, and the puppet soldier who was caught by him couldn't understand what he meant. He just kept bending and nodding to Lieutenant Toda, begging for mercy. " Lieutenant Toda no longer interacts with this puppet soldier.  The soldier was talking nonsense, so he picked up his saber and stabbed him in the heart. Pushing away the killed puppet soldier, Lieutenant Toda directly targeted the commander of the puppet army. Ma Dezhong could understand a little Japanese and quickly pointed to the back.  Gunsmoke: "Taijun, it's the ambush of the Chinese Army. Let me tell you if we fell into a trap. How could the New Second Army make such a low-level mistake? This is simply a trap" Lieutenant Toda wanted to kill Lali in front of him with a knife.  The verbose commander of the puppet army, even at this time, was still showing off his merits. Lieutenant Toda suddenly pulled the sword on Ma Dezhong's neck and ordered him to lead the puppet army to launch a counterattack towards the smoke and must open the canyon.  Export.p; As the alternating cold and hot mountain winds intensified, the gunpowder smoke gradually dispersed, and overwhelming shouts of killing came. Red flags were fluttering on the hills on both sides, and it was impossible to see how many people there were.  Lan Feng was holding a southern submachine gun, like a god of death, and the sound of "click-click" bullets was endless.  Beside him, there were about a dozen Japanese-made submachine guns, all firing at the counterattacking puppet troops. The rain of bullets instantly stunned the puppet troops, and they all fled back.  The army was defeated like a mountain. Seeing the puppet soldiers running around like rabbits breaking down the Japanese army formation, Lieutenant Toda was furious. His eyes were as wide as cowbells. He jumped on his feet and shouted orders to the Japanese squad leader and sergeant next to him.  : "Baga seizes the commanding heights and blocks the group of devils." "Pah¡ª¡ª" A sniper rifle bullet hit his chest directly. Lieutenant Toda was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the blood gurgling from his chest in surprise.  , turned around slightly and fell to the ground.  A loud charge horn resounded through the canyon, countless shouts of death, and countless figures flashed in the grass on both sides.  Under the impact of superior forces, the puppet troops rushed around like headless flies. The bayonets of the officers and soldiers of the New Second Army were sharply sharpened. An encirclement and annihilation battle had reached a critical moment.  "Offensive" "Hand in guns and don't kill" When the New Second Army showed its sign, more than 1,100 puppet soldiers did not dare to move. They threw away their weapons, held their heads, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.  The subsequent battles were very simple, with five or six soldiers often fighting against one Japanese soldier. Faced with the dilemma of being surrounded, no Japanese soldier surrendered. Instead, they took on a duel stance and fought to the end.  The battle ended very quickly. From the time the mine was detonated to the end of the battle, it only took less than an hour.  Liu Zhenning took inventory of the battlefield and found that the entire army seized a total of 1,350 Type 38 rifles, 22 Southern pistols, six grenade launchers, eight crooked machine guns, and more than 60 grenades The results were brilliant
