Chapter 1723 Wuxi gunfire
1941年7月22日，上午6点30，无锡起义爆发！
In response to the Wuxi Uprising, under the personal command of Meng Shaoyuan, the Military Control Bureau has made detailed deployments.

Eighteen Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops in Wuxi City were not to be feared.

No matter how strong the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is, with such a small number of people, it is absolutely impossible to persevere.

The most troublesome thing is another force of the Japanese in Wuxi:
[-] Japanese overseas Chinese!

There are as many as 30 Japanese and foreign firms established on both sides of Zhongshan Road, which is a short few hundred meters from the Datie Bridge in Beimen City to Xinshi Bridge in Chong'an Temple.

These Japanese overseas Chinese regarded themselves as occupiers and bossed around the people of Xicheng. The Chinese could only swallow their anger and live in humility.

Once the Wuxi Uprising started, these Japanese overseas Chinese could be armed at any time, forming an armed force of at least one to 2000 people in a short period of time.

And this is also the reason why the main force of the Japanese army can leave Wuxi with confidence!
The Wuxi Uprising must not fall into a bitter battle, otherwise, the uprising troops may be surrounded instead.

And just two days ago, that is, on July 7th, a piece of news began to circulate among the citizens of Xicheng:
The Japanese will sell a large number of "affordable food" at Chong'an Temple.

This news is not trivial.

In Wuxi City, which was occupied by the Japanese invaders, all the daily necessities were controlled by the invaders.

Due to the blockage of material circulation channels and the severe shortage of food, fruits and vegetables in the city, the lives of the people in Xiyi are very difficult.

Therefore, the Japanese took the opportunity to openly sell the so-called "affordable food" in places such as "Doumu Pavilion" and "Red Swastika Society" in Jinshifang Lane in the city.

In fact, it is spoiled and moldy red-spotted indica rice and the most inferior yellow and black flour.

Even so, ordinary people have to queue up all night to buy them in order to survive.

Now, as soon as the news that Chong'an Temple sells a large amount of cheap grain comes out, the people of Wuxi all know it within two days.

This is life-saving food!
On the 22nd, before dawn, a large number of people from Xicheng had poured into Chong'an Temple.

All of a sudden, there were so many people, it was so dark that you couldn't see the edge.

Almost all the people in Wuxi City showed up with their families.

Without personal experience, it is difficult to understand.

For one bite, the whole family can put down everything, desperately, and give up everything!
A handful of moldy red-spotted indica rice can keep a family alive!
In the past, rice was sold at "Doumu Pavilion" and "Red Swastika Association" in summer. Due to the hot weather, there were too many people queuing up, heat stroke incidents often occurred, and the dawn was early, so they often started selling rice at 5:30 in the morning. , and ended at 7:30.

However, when it was almost 6:30 today, there was no sign of selling rice.

Moreover, seeing more and more Chinese people gathering here, the Japanese overseas Chinese shops in the surrounding area are even more afraid to open their doors.

Some Japanese overseas Chinese have even begun to prepare weapons.

As a result, the crowd began to become a little commotion.

"The Japanese don't sell rice, the Japanese don't sell rice!"

At this moment, suddenly a person yelled loudly.

Everyone looked there.

This person, many people know him.

He is the second son of the owner of Yang Shunfeng Department Store on Shengxiang Bridge on Zhongshan Road, and his name is Yang Yaoting.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, he was a playboy.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was still a playboy.

Moreover, he has a good relationship with many Japanese, so the news from his mouth is quite accurate.

When he called out, the people around panicked: "Second Young Master Yang, why don't you sell rice anymore!"

"You don't know yet?" Yang Yaoting said in a loud voice: "When the Japanese see that there are so many people buying rice, they simply don't sell it. They plan to store it for a week, and the price increases by two yuan per catty of indica rice and black flour per catty. Three dollars more!"

With a "boom", the crowd was in chaos.

"Uncle Wu is dead, so don't be angry if you live (I'm dead, how can I live)!"

All the voices called out.

"Damn it, the little Japanese won't let us live, they robbed them!"

At this moment, another voice called out loudly.

This person is Zhu Yanghao, an ordinary shop assistant and a friend of Yang Yaoting.

So many people who came to buy rice and tried their best to keep their families alive, suddenly encountered such a bad situation that left them bewildered and even starved to death for the whole family.

Countless voices resounded among the people:

"Japanese yakuza don't let us live, they rob them, rob them!"

"Everyone grab it, there are so many of us, the Japanese don't even know who stole it!"

Someone started to take the lead, and began to slam into the nearby Japanese shops.

"Bang bang"!
Two gunshots suddenly sounded from the second floor of one of the most severely hit shops.

A commoner was shot and fell to the ground immediately.

The crowd immediately became chaotic!

"Toyo bums are killing people, let's fight them!"

Accompanied by such shouts, some ordinary people were afraid of being killed and wanted to flee, but how could they get out amidst so many people?

More people, encouraged by the people around them and driven by a strong sense of survival, crazily crashed into every shop they could see!

Here is Wuxi!

Here, it is July 1941, 7!
……

"Baga, assemble the team!"

Chijian Kentai, who was also stationed at Chong'an Temple, didn't get up until after 6 o'clock.

When he heard that many people gathered in Chong'an Temple, he didn't pay much attention.

However, after learning the news that the Japanese shop was attacked by mobs, he was furious and immediately organized all twelve Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet troops!
He wasn't worried at all.

In his view, under the intense pressure of the Japanese army, these low-level Chinese people have long since become obedient citizens.

Once the Imperial Japanese Army appears, those mobs gathered together because of hunger will soon disperse.

Twelve Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet troops were quickly assembled.

They carry two light machine guns.

When necessary, Akama Kenta will not hesitate to shoot and suppress.

The team trotted away from their station.

But when they just walked out of the station, the dense gunshots around them suddenly rang out!

The Japanese army and the puppet army were caught off guard, and several of them were knocked down in an instant!

"fight back!"

Akama Kenta saw Yufu and cried out loudly.

Yet at this time.

"boom"!
A grenade exploded near him!

Akama Kenta fell into a pool of blood without saying a word!

……

"Brothers, call me!"

Wang Jingzhong roared at the top of his lungs.

Around, gunshots continued.

"Generating power to Suzhou."

Wang Jingzhong looked at the time:
"Wuxi, recover!"

The battle continues.

However, Wang Jingzhong knew that Wuxi would be restored soon!

That national flag will be hoisted at Chong'an Temple on time at 7 o'clock!

"Report, Huazhuang started the incident on time and will soon arrive in the urban area!"

"it is good!"

Wang Jingzhong shouted: "Brothers, raise the national flag for me!"

On July 1941, 7, the Wuxi Uprising broke out, and the national flag was about to rise!
