Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army
Chapter 736 Guixu Operation (4)
When we set out from Kalgoorlie,
Indonesia's 16th Armored Regiment acted as the vanguard and walked in front, while Xu Yingchun's armored reconnaissance company followed behind!
Perhaps because they had not encountered any enemy, these Indonesian soldiers became more and more courageous. They advanced very quickly, reaching 25 kilometers per hour!
In four days, the vanguard troops arrived at Reed, 410 kilometers away!
Xu Yingchun and his friends wandered around the town for a while out of boredom. Here, they were going to spend another boring time.
Because next, according to the requirements of Army Commander Ding Shan, the 2nd Independent Engineer Battalion would build a field airport in the suburbs of Reed, while the 1st Independent Engineer Battalion was still building a second airport in Kalgoorlie!
Only after Reed's field airport is completed will the ground forces continue to advance!
What makes Xu Yingchun excited is that this town is much larger than Kalgoorlie, and there are many shops open for business!
Several soldiers in Xu Yingchun's class came to a bar and rushed in!
There were more than a dozen local white people sitting inside. When they saw the soldiers coming in, their eyes flashed with hatred!
Behind the bar, there was a blonde woman with a bad look on her face.
Squad leader Ma Jinyuan walked straight to the bar, pointed at the wine glass next to him and said in Chinese,
"Madam, give each of us a glass of wine!"
As he spoke, he took out a ten-yuan Haizhou coin from his pocket and placed it on the table!
The blonde beauty looked at Ma Jinyuan coldly, her face seemed covered with frost. She pointed to her ears with her fingers and did not take the banknotes in his hand!
Seeing this, Ma Jinyuan pulled his hand back in embarrassment and turned around to ask a few people in the class,
“Who can speak English?”
Xu Yingchun and others shook their heads.
Ma Jinyuan said self-deprecatingly,
"Well, it's a bummer to have money but not be able to spend it!"
Tong Zonghai said with some dissatisfaction,
"Squad leader, why are you being polite to them? Let's get it ourselves!"
Ma Jinyuan waved his hand and said,
"The army has regulations. Unless we encounter resistance elements, forget it, let's go out for a walk!"
The few of them strolled around the town for a while, but almost all the shops were hostile to them. They found it boring, so they returned to their residence early!
At night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, they were awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
Xu Yingchun's room was closest to the door, so he had to get up and open the door. It turned out to be the company's messenger. When he saw Xu Yingchun, he said anxiously,
"Everyone gather, there is a mission! There is a mission!"
Xu Yingchun was confused and hurriedly called the squad leader and others!
After the assembly, the company commander said murderously,
"Just now, the train transporting the engineering troops and equipment was attacked. Now immediately conduct a town-wide search!"
At this moment, the town is full of noisy scenes.
In addition to the armored reconnaissance company, the 4th Battalion of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the 16th Regiment of the Indonesian Army were also stationed in the town.
All the soldiers took action, divided the area into sections, and searched the entire town for suspicious elements!
Xu Yingchun followed the squad leader to the block they were responsible for and saw two armored vehicles with their headlights on at night, blocking the street.
The soldiers swarmed towards the residential buildings on both sides.
A dozen soldiers rushed into a four-story apartment building and began banging on the doors one by one.
According to the order issued by the brigade headquarters, all residents must go downstairs immediately and undergo strict centralized interrogation!
For a while, there were cries and screams everywhere.
Tong Zonghai, Xu Yingchun and others knocked on the door of a house on the third floor. Coincidentally, the person who opened the door was the blonde girl from the bar, who was still wearing pajamas.
The girl seemed to recognize these soldiers and spoke a bunch of incomprehensible bird language, with a look of anger and impatience. Xu Yingchun was a new soldier, so he took a step back and looked at Tong Zonghai.
Tong Zonghai stepped forward, grabbed the woman's hair and pulled her out of the house.
Amid the shrill screams, Tong Zonghai fiercely pushed the woman to the ground.
At this time, another man came out. Seeing this scene, he was terrified and scared, and no one understood what he said.
Xu Yingchun raised the rifle, pointed it at the man, and motioned for him to follow the woman downstairs!
When Xu Yingchun took the two people downstairs, Tong Zonghai entered the house and searched carefully again. When he came out, his pockets and shoulder bag were bulging!
More and more residents were driven out of their sleep onto the street, and then they were all taken to the playground of a primary school in the east of the town.
Around the playground, there were Indonesian soldiers armed with live ammunition everywhere.
After Xu Yingchun and his team finished clearing the entire apartment building, they went back to sleep, leaving the rest of the interrogation work to the Indonesians!
At the beginning, people were still making a lot of noise, but a few Indonesian soldiers picked up sticks and started beating them, and soon the crowd quieted down!
Everyone obeyed the order obediently!
But for many people, this night is destined to be a night of no return!
West of Reed Town,
About 23 kilometers along the railway,
The rails were twisted into strange snake shapes, with sharp steel spikes bursting out from the broken parts.
Four carriages of the train derailed and overturned, leaning against the roadbed. The iron sheets were blown into broken petals by the air waves, and the steel and cement loaded inside were scattered all over the ground, entangled with the twisted and deformed remains of the rails.
The pungent smell of gunpowder and diesel swirled in the air, and burning wood and canvas sent up billowing black smoke that obscured half the sky.
The neatly stacked equipment boxes were torn into pieces, and small parts such as rivets, nuts, and screws were scattered on the charred land like black raindrops. The bodies of several engineers lay between the rails and the carriages, their clothes soaked with blood!
This was the first time the coalition forces encountered an attack after launching the Guixu Operation, and it was also the first time that casualties occurred. A total of 6 engineers were killed and 17 were injured!
Duan Wei, commander of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, has issued an order to launch a ten-day security crackdown within a 100-kilometer radius centered on Reed Town. All resistance elements must be rooted out!
From now on, every civilian in this area is a suspect!
It's already early morning.
The sky was already showing a pale sky.
on the playground,
A woman with a child was crying to the soldier. The soldier pointed to his ears and pushed her back into the crowd!
Isabella kept rubbing her scalp. The guy just now was too rough and pulled her hair so hard that it hurt!
But, she was terrified in her heart.
Thousands of people in the town have been detained here for several hours, but the soldiers have no intention of letting them leave!
An armored vehicle slowly approached.
Stopped by the playground.
On the armored vehicle, a young captain stood up and shouted into the microphone in English,
"Everyone, I am Wu Junqing, the commander of the Allied Forces Garrison Command in Reed. First of all, I would like to announce a rule. When I am speaking, no one is allowed to interrupt. Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!"
