The west bank of the river.

On the position of the 6th Column, Commander Chu Tianming was carefully looking at the Japanese in the distance. The sharp sounds and explosions in the sky kept coming.

Although it was a thousand meters away from the Japanese's position and a river hundreds of meters wide, Chu Tianming still felt the explosions deafening.

Now, the artillery bombardment has been going on for almost twenty minutes, and the Japanese have suffered a lot of casualties. By watching the situation on the Japanese positions, you can roughly judge it.

"Commander! Is it too wasteful for our bombardment? I think it's enough for us to carry out half an hour of shelling to the West."

Next to him, the chief of staff of the 6th Column looked reluctant, maybe he was heartbroken by these shells!

The chief of staff of the 6th Column was a regiment chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army two or three years ago. He was used to hard life. He was transferred from the Eighth Route Army to Zhang Yunfei's troops more than two years ago. Two or three years ago, the life of the Eighth Route Army was far from so good. He lived a life of lack of clothing and was extremely difficult.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianmin smiled slightly and said, "My Chief of Staff, don't be sad about our shells. Now we have sufficient ammunition. Besides, even if our shells are exhausted, we will get supplies soon."

Now, Jingpu Road is being repaired quickly. If it is fast, it will be opened to traffic in just three or five days. The train can go directly from Peking to Jining, and there will be a lot of supplies behind it, which will be transported here very conveniently.

As for the railway from Datong to Peiping, Taiyuan to Shijiazhuang, it has been open to traffic for a long time and is playing an important role. A large amount of materials are being continuously transported to North China through the railway. These materials include a large number of shells, such as the shells of 105mm and 155mm howitzers.

Seeing Chu Tianming say this, the Chief of Staff of the 6th Column also smiled and no longer felt sorry for these shells. Now it is the 36th Army, not the Eighth Route Army.

A smile. The Chief of Staff of the 6th Column also completely relaxed his mind and no longer felt sorry for the shells. He picked up his telescope and looked happy at the artillery shooting situation on the Japanese positions. Seeing the exciting part, he did not forget to shout "Okay".

Chu Tianming and several senior executives of the 6th Column, including the Chief of Staff, were all excited and acted as spectators again, holding telescopes, watching the Japanese being blown up in chaos.

Everyone was enjoying the excitement. A guard ran over quickly, stood at attention, greeted a solemn military salute, and reported loudly: "Chief! The ships prepared by the Shandong guerrillas have arrived."

"Oh! So fast!" Chu Tianming felt a little strange when he heard this. It was only more than an hour before Captain Hong left, and there was still half an hour before 4 pm.

Chu Tianming looked at the river in the distance, in the direction leading to Weishan Lake, although it was far away from here. However, through the telescope, Chu Tianming still saw at least a hundred small wooden boats coming over the river.

Although each small wooden boat is not big, it may be a local fishing boat, each boat can ride a dozen soldiers, a larger fishing boat, and twenty or thirty soldiers, which is completely fine. Moreover, these fishing boats are huge, with at least hundreds of them, and look like a large area.

There were three or five people on each such fishing boat, rowing the boat and coming here. These people should be comrades of the guerrillas.

That's right, these are the hundreds of comrades from the Southern Shandong guerrillas, rowing more than 100 small fishing boats, and they are coming here. If it weren't for the short time, the soldiers of the Southern Shandong guerrilla detachment might have collected a larger number of fishing boats. However, with more than 100 fishing boats, it is basically enough. One round trip can transport an infantry regiment to the other side.

Captain Hong of the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment was standing at the bow of a fishing boat, looking at the distance with excitement and looking at the position of the 6th Column with admiration.

Captain Hong only saw such a spectacular shelling scene.

Captain Hong is an old soldier and an old Eighth Route Army. He has been in the army for nearly ten years and has participated in more than a dozen battles of all sizes. However, such a shelling scene and such a large-scale shelling scene are absolutely unheard of.

Behind Captain Hong, several guerrilla comrades from the guerrillas were also excited, with a little fear in their excitement, and they were naturally afraid of the heavy artillery group. Although these artillery belonged to the 36th Army, now these artillery are attacked by Japanese devils.

However, everyone still felt a little afraid in their hearts. As guerrillas, they still had a little understanding of the power of these cannons.

"Captain! Look!!!"

A guerrilla shouted loudly, pointing to the distance, pointing to the Japanese positions in the distance.

Just now, a 155mm howitzer shell was accurately hit on a Japanese castle. Although this castle with a thick layer of soil was covered with only two or three shooting holes on the side, the castle that seemed to be strong was blown away by this castle.

With a violent explosion, the castle was blown away directly. Several thick logs flew around with the air waves, flying dozens of meters away. After the explosion, a large pit was left behind. The Japanese in the castle might all go to see their great god Amaterasu.

Captain Hong felt very moved when he saw this scene and admired the 36th Army.

Think about it, my guerrillas fought against the Japanese many times, and whenever I encountered Japanese gangs, bunkers and strongholds, all such solid fortifications were killed or injured.

The guerrillas in southern Shandong basically have no good solutions for such fortifications. The guerrillas mainly use light weapons, a few rifles and pistols, plus a few grenades, and are basically powerless to do anything about such fortifications.

The only way is to cover a large number of soldiers. Several soldiers were carrying bundles of grenades or bags, and after paying a lot of casualties, they could pull out such solid fortifications with difficulty.

Therefore, whenever the Japanese encounter these fortifications, the guerrillas carry forward the policy of fighting if they can win, and withdrawing if they can't win. Unless they have to fight hard with the Japanese.

However, just now, in front of the cannons of the 36th Army, the Japanese's castle was like paper. Once the shells fell, they turned into ruins.

The comrades of the southern Shandong guerrillas were rowing more than 100 fishing boats and slowly approaching the position of the 6th Column. They were less than five or six hundred meters away from the position of the 6th Column, and were almost so far away from the frontier positions of the Japanese.

Going further forward, you enter the middle of the positions of both sides. This river passes through the middle of the positions of both China and Japan. Both sides are positions built across the river.

On the river surface, especially on the side close to the Japanese positions, one or two shells would occasionally fall, causing splashes of water in the sky. Seeing this situation, the guerrillas slowly slowed down.

A team member standing behind Captain Hong saw this and immediately asked: "Captain, should we continue moving forward or stand by on time?"

Captain Hong looked at his watch and found that there were about twenty minutes left before 4 pm. So Captain Hong immediately said: "Tell everyone, stand by on time, wait for the shelling to stop, and immediately move to the position of the 36th Army. Everyone helps transport the soldiers of the 36th Army across the river."

After receiving the order, the hundreds of members of the Shandong Guerrilla Detachment stopped and acted as spectators from afar. While watching the rare shelling situation, they waited for the shelling to stop.

Many team members thought to themselves that they were really lucky this time. After seeing such a spectacular scene, they could brag about it with those comrades who did not come to perform the mission.

Thinking of this, many guerrilla comrades were full of pride and joy.

Everyone stood on the bow of the boat, stretched their necks, and became the audience with relish and watched the shelling of the 36th Army. Seeing the wonderful things, these guerrillas also cheered loudly.

The shelling continued without any sign of stopping. These guerrillas were just hiding and feasting their eyes.

Captain Hong looked at the artillery bombardment and looked at his pocket watch from time to time. Seeing that more than ten minutes had passed, the artillery bombardment of the 36th Army was still so fierce. He couldn't help but secretly admire him in his heart.

At this time, Captain Hong was extremely impressed by the 36th Army and thought to himself, how great it would be if he was a member of the 36th Army.

After a long time, the world suddenly became quiet.

At 4:00 p.m., the heavy artillery group of the 6th Column stopped the shelling at the same time. The violent shelling came to an abrupt end. Suddenly, the sound of artillery shook the sky. As the shelling stopped suddenly, the surrounding area was quiet.

The sudden silence made the comrades of the Southern Lu Guerrilla Detachment a little uncomfortable. It took at least a few dozen seconds before everyone came to their senses and knew that the artillery bombardment of the 36th Army was over.

Suddenly, these guerrillas burst into cheers, as if they had won a big victory. Captain Hong of the guerrillas also grinned when he saw his soldiers so happy.

After laughing, Captain Hong remembered that he had not done his job yet, so he immediately shouted: "Comrades! Go to the dock quickly and help transport the soldiers of the 36th Army across the river."

Upon hearing this, all the guerrillas took action. Everyone skillfully rowed the boats and docked to the position of the 6th Column to facilitate the soldiers to board the ship.

In just a few minutes, more than a hundred fishing boats of all sizes were lined up and landed, stretching thousands of meters, waiting for the soldiers of the 6th Column to board the ship.

Most of the hundreds of soldiers from the Southern Lu Guerrilla Detachment were soldiers active in the Weishan Lake area, many of them were fishermen. When rowing boats, they not only moved quickly, but also acted in an orderly manner. They were ready to dock at once.

The 6th Column is about to start boarding the boat and crossing the river.
