Tangwan Town, Minhang District, Shanghai.

Located on the Cherry River, the west bank of Yutang River, it is famous for its location in Yutang Bay. It emerged during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. It belongs to the outskirts of Shanghai and is sparsely populated.

There were originally more than 5 households in the town and about 3 people.

However, in August 1938, the Japanese army committed a tragedy here. In order to build a highway, they burned all the only three streets in Zhennan and the center.

All 12o shops in the town were burned out, and thousands of people lost their houses and property, turned into refugees, and hundreds of people died in the massacre of the Japanese army.

Nowadays, there is a wasteland and some ruins left by burned houses, as if telling the cruelty of the Japanese army.

December 25, 1938, 11:00 pm.

The Japanese army ambushed a heavy army here, with a large number of thousands of people. The Japanese military police commander Tanaka Masao, personally took charge of the place.

Both Tanaka Masao and Imamura stood on a small hill, holding a telescope and watching around.

"Report to the Commander, the troops deployed by our army in Tangwan Town, Caoxing Town, Luhui Town, Wuqiao Town and Xiaotang Town have been completed. Please tell us the Commander to instruct the next action!" A Japanese major reported loudly.

"Yaxi!"

Commander Masao Tanaka nodded: "Transfer my order, order all units to enter the ambush area, and wait for the large Chinese troops to arrive, obey my orders, and we will wipe it out in one fell swoop."

"Hi!"

The Japanese chief responded loudly and immediately retreated.

Japanese Lieutenant General Imamura Tsubasa put down the telescope in his hand and said with a smile: "Tanaka, you are indeed the elite of the empire. This place called Tangwan Town is well-connected, deserted and open, and it is really an excellent battlefield that is conducive to our army's formation!"

After hearing the praise from Lieutenant General Imamura, even the commander of the military police, Masao Tanaka could not help but feel happy.

You should know that Imamura is his senior at the 6th Army University in Japan, and he is also Xi Sheng of the 28th period, the pride of the empire. Being able to receive his praise will be of great help to the career of Tanaka Masao, an old devil.

Therefore, how could he be dissatisfied with joy?

Tanaka Masao put away his smile and said respectfully: "Lieutenant General, the one who cooperated with our military police this time is the Sakurai Regiment of the 16th Division. They once fought with the predecessor of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the White Tiger Detachment, in Xiayi, Henan.

Therefore, the morale of our officers and soldiers is extremely prosperous.

At the same time, in addition to ambushing nearly a thousand troops in Tangwan Town, our army also deployed hundreds of troops around Tangwan Town, namely Caoxing Town, Luhui Town, Wuqiao Town, and Xiaotang Town.

As long as the Chinese team comes here, they will have great abilities and will be completely annihilated by our army. From then on, Shanghai will truly be my great Japanese~ the world of this empire!”

"Yaxi!" Lieutenant General Imamura was overjoyed.

There are many reasons why Masao Tanaka chose Tangwan Town.

First, this is the suburb, far away from the bustling city center, even if a large-scale battle will not have any impact on the beach;

Secondly, Tangwan Town is also the only way to extradite Ouyang from the French Concession to the Japanese Qianqiao Concentration Camp;

Third, although it is 40 kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​Shanghai, the people who rescue Ouyang will definitely not carry out rescue in the downtown area and in some densely populated towns.

The Japanese army was not afraid of causing casualties to the Chinese people, but Wang Yaqiao and others had to worry about this.

Therefore, the rescue location can only passively follow the Japanese army's route and take action in the suburbs.

Tanaka Masao said: "Chinese people are stupid and kind, so sometimes, even if they know the danger, they will come to die like moths to the fire. Tangwan Town will become the burial place for those stupid Chinese people!"

~~~~~~~~~~

Time passed slowly, and it was already 12 o'clock in the evening.

At the French Concession Prison, Ouyang was also cobbled with bracelets and anklets at the scheduled time and transferred to a car.

The person responsible for escorting Ouyang was a Japanese reinforcement squadron of more than 20 people. The entire Japanese squadron was composed of trucks, cars and motorcycles, so their march was very fast.

The Japanese lieutenant sitting next to Ouyang in the car sneered at Ouyang: "Chinese, today is your death, enjoy your next time!"

He paused and said, "Your people, shouldn't they be in the concession, hahaha!"

The Japanese lieutenant's smile was arrogant and unscrupulous.

Not taking action in the concession?

Ouyang sneered.

The Japanese army made a very accurate judgment on this!

The team that rescued Ouyang would not take action in the concession or in densely populated areas, which would cause many casualties to civilians, which Ouyang and others were unwilling to accept.

Ouyang thought to himself: "If the ambush location of the Japanese army is as good as we expected, it should be in Tangwan Town. According to the current perspective, it must be impossible to be wrong!"

~~~~~~~

While the Japanese army was deploying in an intense manner, we, who were responsible for the rescue, did not concentrate all the troops together as the Japanese army expected, but instead broke them all away.

Scattered in numbers.

Wang Yaqiao explained with a smile: "The Japanese forced us to fight with them. How could we do what they wanted? We are not fools!"

Chen Shen said: "Chief of Staff, all our troops in various places have been deployed. Now I'll wait for your order to save the Japanese. The Japanese can't afford to leave!"

"hehe!"

Wang Yaqiao waved his hand and said, "No hurry. It's only a little over 12 o'clock now. Judging from the marching degree of the Japanese escort team's intentional slowdown, it will take at least half an hour for them to arrive in Tangwan Town. Then we will explode at 12:30, and the troops everywhere will explode in turn, giving the Japanese a big gift!"

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" Chen Shen replied with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Shen looked at Wang Yaqiao who was planning to plan and couldn't help but admire him.

The core of Wang Yaqiao's rescue plan this time is the guerrilla policy of "you hit yours, I hit mine."

The Japanese army wanted to use a decisive battle to directly eliminate our power in Shanghai.

If our side is really as the Japanese army thought, we will inevitably be surrounded and ambushed by the Japanese army.

Although the number of our troops was added together, there were more than 6, which was about 2 more than the number of Japanese troops, if we really set up a formation with the Japanese troops and started to do it clearly, the final result would inevitably be our defeat.

There is no doubt about this!

After all, the Japanese’s combat power and firepower are not bragging!

The 4ooo Japanese army with multiple people is the existence of the China National Team that can beat tens of thousands of people.

Now our troops are mainly composed of the Qing Gang and the Beihong Sect disciples. Although there are as many as 6ooo people, to be honest, they are like a group of mobs.

Not to mention 6ooo people, even 20,000 or 50,000 people, it is impossible to resist against the Japanese army!

After all, the Japanese army had heavy weapons, but our side did not.

It is a fantasy to rescue Ouyang from the siege of thousands of Japanese troops.

Wang Yaqiao said in a deep voice: "So, our only way is to call out all the Japanese troops in Tangwan Town little by little like fishing!"

Xie Wendong raised an objection and said, "Then how should we fish?"

"hehe!"

Wang Yaqiao smiled and said, "For this battle, the Japanese army almost mobilized them to mobilize the maximum force. At this moment, most of their troops were concentrated in Tangwan Town. In other words, their troops in other places were extremely empty at this moment!

For example, there must be not many people in the defense of the Japanese Concession's military police headquarters, military government agencies, expatriates, arsenals, ammunition depots and other places. If we attack there, would you say the Japanese would go crazy?"

Hearing this, Xie Wendong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "In this case, the Japanese will definitely go crazy! They must mobilize at least half of their troops and go for reinforcements!"

Wang Yaqiao nodded and said, "That's exactly!"

"But just that, the Japanese army still has at least 2 ooo people in Tangwan Town, which is still not something we can bite. Therefore, we must have a bigger goal, forcing the Japanese army to return to aid and have to mobilize more troops."

"And this target is the concentration camp of the Japanese army in Qianqiao! There is a key place where tens of thousands of prisoners of war are imprisoned!"
Chapter completed!
