The Flames of Resistance Against Japan in Jiangnan

He quickly ordered his soldiers to raise a white flag and open the door to let in the soldiers of the Third Company, who were clearly unaware that victory had come so swiftly and suddenly.

Liu Yuanhang led the Third Company to disarm and detain them all, and quickly took control of the armory, preparing to consider how to deal with them after Xu Wenqing arrived.

These warehouses are overflowing with weapons and ammunition. For the Red Army, which has always been short of firearms and ammunition, they would rather carry more bullets than less food. When has it ever been like today, worrying about having too much weaponry and ammunition?

So what was Xu Wenqing, leading three platoons of special agents, doing at this moment? Could he successfully take over the prison guarded by a company and rescue the hundreds of Red Army soldiers imprisoned inside?

When Xu Wenqing and Company Commander Yu Aimin led the special agent company's soldiers to ambush the street opposite the prison, following the alley they had scouted earlier.

Xu Wenqing immediately ordered all officers and soldiers of the Special Service Company to hide and await orders. He then called over Yu Aimin, the company commander of the Special Service Company, a veteran Red Army soldier who had served as a company commander in the 20th Division of the Red Army, and whispered a few words to him.

After listening to Xu Wenqing's words, Yu Aimin seemed somewhat worried and said:

"Commander, this isn't a good idea, it's too dangerous. What if they open fire?"

Xu Wenqing said with a serious expression:

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, I won't have any problems."

Besides, there are so many of our comrades in prison. If we really push those damned beasts too far, they might use our comrades as hostages to threaten us, and then we'll be the ones in a passive position.

Therefore, it's worth taking the risk and trying it out.

Okay, that's settled then. Just do as I say.

Seeing that Xu Wenqing was determined, Yu Aimin, as his subordinate, could say nothing more. Although he was older than Regiment Commander Xu Wenqing, he knew very well that this commander, whether in Yansi, Tunxi, or now Fuliang County, used very peculiar and strange tactics, but the results were often surprising even to veteran Red Army officers like them.

Upon hearing that the young regimental commander was going to risk using another unconventional tactic, Yu Aimin had no choice but to agree. However, after Xu Wenqing summoned the special operations platoon (all of whom were skilled and trained in martial arts) still in their Jiangxi army uniforms and gave them a briefing, Yu Aimin also gathered his three platoon leaders to discuss and plan the next phase of the operation.

Shortly after they arrived at the streets near the prison, the attack, spearheaded by the Second Company, officially began. Seeing the gunfire erupting in front of the command post in the distance, Xu Wenqing ordered the special operations platoon soldiers who would be going out with him to prepare. The other soldiers of the special operations company also gripped their guns tightly, awaiting orders from their company commander, Yu Aimin.

In the stillness of the night, gunshots rang out from the security regiment's command post, surely waking the prison guards. Looking at the company commander appearing at the prison gate, Xu Wenqing knew his plan's success rate had increased significantly.

When gunfire also rang out from the direction of the barracks, Xu Wenqing patiently waited for another ten minutes, keeping an eye on the prison guards who wanted to leave but dared not, while also worrying about the situation of the other three main assault companies.

After everything proceeded as expected, and even gunfire erupted from the arms depot, Xu Wenqing immediately gave the order:

"Comrades, please remain silent and follow my orders."

Remember, everyone, try to use the S-shaped running pattern I taught you as much as possible while running. But also, be careful to make it look convincing, so that the other people don't notice anything amiss. Does everyone understand?

"Understood."

Upon hearing his men's resolute reply, Xu Wenqing instructed Yu Aimin to prepare. Once the first platoon of special agents crossed the street, the second platoon would begin their pursuit. However, he cautioned them not to be too hasty, or they would give themselves away.

Seeing that Yu Aimin was ready, Xu Wenqing took off his officer's hat and casually adjusted his clothes. He then started running directly towards the prison's position, shouting as he did so:

"Something terrible has happened! The Red Army has entered the city! Brother Du, Company Commander Du, help us!"

The "Brother Du" he mentioned was actually the prison's garrison company commander. When they appeared before the guards, Xu Wenqing's voice naturally reached the ears of the soldiers at the front. Hearing this guy, dressed in the same Jiangxi army uniform as them, calling out their company commander's name, the White Army soldiers, who had their triggers raised, undoubtedly stopped firing.

Just as Xu Wenqing and his group of disheveled soldiers were running towards the prison, several hundred meters behind them, Red Army soldiers wearing red five-pointed star caps and uniforms suddenly appeared. They were running just as fast, shouting:

"Comrades, charge! Capture those white bastards and avenge our fallen comrades!"

A group of his own men, in a disheveled state, fled ahead, pursued by a band of aggressive Red Army soldiers. Xu Wenqing, in addition, shouted his company commander's name as he ran. When Xu Wenqing finally broke through the most dangerous heavy machine gun position, the defenders, as he had predicted, did not pull the trigger on their machine guns.

The special operations platoon soldiers who had been running frantically behind Xu Wenqing, seemingly exhausted, collapsed onto the ground beside the heavy machine gun position, panting heavily. Xu Wenqing had already roared:

"Fire! Can't you see the Red Army soldiers are about to charge in from behind?"

At his command, no one doubted that they were Red Army soldiers anymore, and the machine gunners naturally opened fire with their heavy machine guns in a panic. The Red Army soldiers, who were rushing towards them, immediately stopped outside their firing range and engaged in a firefight.

As for the few special agent platoon soldiers who had been panting and resting just moments before, they cried out in terror as the Red Army began firing, hiding behind the nearby heavy machine gun emplacements. They lay prone behind the sandbags of the machine gun emplacements, not daring to raise their heads, as if afraid the Red Army's fire would hit them.

When the prison guard company commander saw Xu Wenqing standing at the door, shouting and yelling for him to open fire and kill them all, Company Commander Du walked over and said:

"Brother Sun, what brings you here? By the way, weren't you living near the military camp? How's the situation there?"

Company Commander Du never imagined that his friendly chat with his younger brother that day would turn out to be a Red Army soldier in disguise. Little did Company Commander Du know that as he left, Xu Wenqing already knew his plan was halfway to success. Now, it was up to him to complete the charade.
