Koike Akira hid behind a rock and nervously fired at the fortress's firepower. In a battle like attacking the fortress, the 38 rifle in Koike Akira's hand was of no use at all. The real combat weapon was the thick cannon.
Tube.
Perhaps they discovered them, and a firepower point suddenly poured bullets into the three of them. The three of them quickly lay down, not daring to move.
At this time, a three-person light machine gun team rushed up and started firing with crooked handles. A loader shouted, "Hurry up and we'll cover you."
Koike hurriedly bent down and rushed up. Just after taking a few steps, several mortar shells hit him behind him. The reassuring sound of machine gunfire behind him instantly sounded the news. Koike Akira immediately shouted "Get down!"
Sure enough, the machine gun point that had just been suppressed began to shoot at them again. Another group of three people who charged with them were punched with more than a dozen fist-sized holes by heavy machine gun bullets, and their bodies rolled down.
.
"Damn, it's not going to work like this." Koike Akira looked around for a while. One-third of the squadron he belonged to had fallen down at this time, and corpses kept rolling down. It was probably the same in other places.
.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The long-awaited retreat order came, and Koike Akira quickly pulled the other two people and fled down the mountain. Looking at the fortress on the mountain, Koike Akira knew that this was going to be another bloody battle.
Seeing that the attacking troops were blocked, the Japanese army immediately started a new round of shelling. More than 100 naval heavy artillery opened fire again, tilting their firepower towards the dark fortress.
Half an hour later, the Japanese naval guns finally stopped. Looking at the fortress that was constantly emitting black smoke, Kodō Kenichi was so excited that he wanted to rush up again. Koike Akira quickly grabbed him and shouted, "Wait, what's going on?"
It’s not over yet. Let’s go to the back.”
Sure enough, the other Japanese troops who acted first were halfway through. The machine gun that appeared from nowhere rang out again, and the attacking Japanese troops suddenly fell to the ground.
"Remember, your family asked you to come here to survive, not to die in battle." Koike Akira warned Kodo Kenichi, who looked at the water flowing from the mountain to his feet.
Xue, swallowed his saliva and nodded.
——Wuxue
Okamura Neiji was not surprised when he heard that the attack had been blocked. He would be suspicious if such an important place like the Tianjia Town fortress group could be broken with one blow.
"The aviation force was ordered to attack, and our warships were not damaged?" Okamura Neiji asked while playing Go with an officer.
"Four of our warships were sunk by enemy fortress artillery, and two were injured. The navy requested to retreat for repairs." The staff officer lowered his head and said.
"Well, based on this calculation, they have already damaged more than a dozen warships. Let's just let them withdraw first. After all, there will be fire support from the aviation force." Okamura Neji said nonchalantly.
——Tianjia Fortress Headquarters
Bai Chongxi looked at the river in the distance and said, "The Japanese warships have retreated. They should have gone back for repairs."
Li Yannian looked at it and said, "What the Japanese army likes most is artillery suppression. They will not end it so easily. I think a large number of Japanese aircraft will come over soon."
Bai Chongxi nodded and said, "Heroes have the same idea. We ordered the air defense forces to prepare, and sent electricity to Wuhan, so that our air force could take off and prepare behind. Once the Japanese aircraft group is defeated by our air defense firepower, they will immediately pursue and kill them!"
Bai Chongxi's preparations were timely. Not long after the Japanese warships temporarily retreated, a group of more than 60 aircraft arrived over the Tianjia Town fortress group. Looking at the quiet fortress, the Japanese aircraft rushed like vultures wanting to attend a feast.
It turned out that these aircraft were equipped with 500 kilogram bombs. Bombs of this level were enough to destroy the National Army's fortifications.
"1000 meters...800 meters...500 meters, fire!!" With an order, a fire network composed of more than thirty anti-aircraft guns, light machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns opened instantly. Just one 20MM anti-aircraft gun shell is enough.
It tore a big hole out of the Japanese aircraft. The Japanese aircraft did not expect that this fortress would have such strong anti-aircraft firepower. They quickly pulled the aircraft up again. Seven or eight aircraft were instantly hit and smoked. They could only quickly throw away the bombs.
In order to reduce weight, four or five planes were hit and disintegrated in the air, like fireworks.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The Nationalist Army cheered when they saw that the Japanese aircraft, which seemed invincible at first, dropped so many in one fell swoop.
The Japanese planes were not yet doomed. Twenty or thirty planes divided into three groups from the west and rushed over, splitting up the Japanese plane formation at once.
"Thanks to the anti-aircraft guns sent by the commissioner. Otherwise we wouldn't be so relaxed." Li Yannian said with a smile.
Bai Chongxi nodded, put down the telescope and said, "But the battle ahead will not be so easy. We must be mentally prepared. The Japanese army has so many battleships and heavy artillery. This battle is more difficult than I thought. I ordered Huangshi to continue dropping mines.
We can only rely on this to deal with these warships now."
Wuhan
Agent Jiang looked at the telegram, sat down slowly with a gloomy face and said, "One month? Jiansheng also thinks it can only be kept for one month?"
He Yingqin nodded and said, "This telegram uses the highest level of password. Only four or five people know it now. We must prepare to evacuate."
Agent Jiang looked at the map. The Japanese troops on the northern front have already launched attacks in Luoxin and other places. The final battle between the north and the south has already begun. If it only takes one month, can so many things be transported from Wuhan?
The photos of Nanjing slowly emerged in Jiang's mind. The walls must be built to clear the country, and the country must be cleared.
Agent Jiang asked, "How many casualties have our troops suffered now?"
He Yingqin took out a small notebook and said, "As of yesterday, our army has killed 187,000 people, injured 165,000 people, and is missing 32,000 people. The lost ordnance is countless."
Jiang Jie sighed, "There were heavy casualties... But I believe that the Japanese army will also have a hard time. Wuhan cannot become the second Nanjing. Plan 21 was ordered to be launched. All Wuhan materials began to retreat, and all Wuhan personnel began to carry out forced evacuation."
Evacuate, especially those students, don't let them start another riot. Tell everyone that we are retreating not because we cannot defeat the Japanese army, but to prepare for the long-term war of resistance. Also, after the fall of Wuhan, the Japanese army's next target is probably Yueyang
, Xiangyang, Jingzhou and other places, as well as Changsha, ordered all places to be prepared for fighting and response, ordered Chongqing to be prepared to receive supplies, and finally sent a message to each war zone to inform the news, so as not to cause chaos due to the fall of Wuhan.
.”
While Agent Jiang was nervously making arrangements, Chen Bulei rushed in without even knocking on the door and said, "Commissioner, it's not good, Guangzhou has been lost."
Agent Jiang stood up in shock and shouted, "What?"
Chen Brei said, "Last night, the Japanese fleet and more than three Japanese divisions suddenly appeared in Guangzhou Bay. Our army was unable to withstand the Japanese naval guns and aircraft carriers. We failed to hold on for a night and fell. Now the three Japanese divisions
The regiment is divided into three groups, attacking from the east, west, north, and our army is resisting steadily."
Agent Jiang looked at the map and said, "If Guangzhou is lost, there will be no need to defend Wuhan. Plan No. 21 will be issued immediately for implementation."
Chen Brei said worriedly, "With the fall of Guangzhou, our last outlet to the sea has also been lost. Our future foreign aid will only be able to enter from the northwest and southwest."
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "Order Long Yun to ensure the smooth flow of the southwest road. This is our last lifeline. The hateful Britain and France are still unwilling to let our arms in."
Agent Jiang couldn't help but think of what Jiang Cheng said that night. He shook his head and said, "Just wait, sooner or later they will regret it."
——Shanxi Eighth Route Army Headquarters
Mr. Zhu looked at the heavy artillery and 107 rocket launcher that were finally transported. He stood under the cannon and looked at the cannon with his head held high and said, "Okay, now we are not afraid of any enemy bunkers."
Zuo Quan said, "The Japanese army's attention is still on Wuhan, but depending on the situation, Wuhan can hold on for one to two months at most. The Japanese army's losses are also huge. Our intelligence shows that the wounded soldiers and ashes urns transported back to Tokyo
It’s all in one boat.”
Mr. Zhu waved his hand and said, "Although the Japanese army is paying attention to Wuhan, they have not relaxed at all about us. With three divisions, we are the only ones in Shanxi who have this honor in all of North China. Yan Laoxi is hiding every day now and dare not see us.
People. Moreover, the Japanese are building fortresses everywhere now, and they want to imitate the Northeast to implement public security and correctness plans, but they have not relaxed at all."
Zuo Quan laughed and said, "Aren't we cooperating with them? Now our army only attacks roads and railway transportation, and no longer attacks the Japanese strongholds. When they repair all the strongholds and completely disperse their forces, we will start another one-pot attack."
Boss Zhu patted the heavy cannon and said, "This is why we have good weapons. Otherwise, where would it be that we would have such a stronghold? By the way, Boss Peng has been out of the army for almost a few months. It's almost time to come back."
"I heard someone talking about me." A dark face stuck out, who was it if it wasn't Mr. Peng?
"That means Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived. Mr. Peng, you have worked hard all the way. Why are you here so soon? I thought you would be a few days late?" Mr. Zhu asked with concern.
"Isn't it because the weather is nice that I run a little faster? Wow, what is this? I saw it from afar. I didn't expect it to be a cannon. Where did you get it?" Mr. Peng walked to the cannon in three steps and two steps.
He moved forward, touching left and right, like a hungry ghost in lust.
"The 122MM heavy artillery sent by 203, 12 in total, we can set up a heavy artillery regiment. The other one is the 107 rocket launcher, which is also very powerful." Mr. Zhu introduced.
Boss Peng looked at what looked like a farm tool next to him, shook his head and said, "This one is still great, but that one doesn't look very good. Okay, let the artillery team start training immediately to prepare for us later."
The three of them walked into the room together, and Boss Zhu asked, "By the way, how is the training and learning of the troops this time? Is there any problem?"
"Yes, the troops below are very motivated to study and train very hard. Currently, the rectification movement and the complaining and sweetening campaign are being carried out. In accordance with the instructions of the central government, there is no need to amplify the situation and learn from past mistakes and avoid future mistakes. The soldiers below also do not have the idea of treating illnesses and saving lives.
What kind of resistance thought, especially this rectification movement, has been done very well. It focuses on learning, not criticizing people, and not arresting people. You don’t know, when I just went down, many old people who had walked on the Long March thought that it was another time.
I'm going to purge the rebels, I'm shocked." Mr. Peng said as he poured a tea jar of water and started drinking it.
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "You also know that according to our plan, we will have huge changes next year. If we don't get vaccinated now, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome later. Take a look at this." Mr. Zhu said.
He took out a newspaper and handed it to Mr. Peng.
Boss Peng took it and took a look, but it was from the Xinhua Daily. It said "Rectification or wind?" But it was an editorial, which was talking about the recent discussion of the rectification movement within the Red Party. The article believed that the current
The rectification movement is not a real rectification movement, but a wind blowing, blowing the evil wind of Chineseism. It completely and one-sidedly understands the true connotation of the Red Party and socialism, and believes that the so-called Chinese characteristics are just one-sided words, and they still want to break away from the Red Party.
The International was against the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union was now the most important force supporting China's Anti-Japanese War. At this time, such a rectification movement was intended to make the Soviet Union hesitate to support China and reduce support, leading to the failure of the Anti-Japanese War. This is a question worth thinking about.
The problem.
"Nonsense!!" Boss Peng threw the newspaper to the ground and cursed, "Which farting bunny wrote this? Is Qin Bangxian crazy? Dare to write anything? Dare to publish anything? This is what he thinks
What to do? Can he talk nonsense about things decided by the central government?"
Mr. Zhu patted Mr. Peng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this newspaper has not been published publicly. It was written by the god. Qin Bangxian also felt it was inappropriate. Zhou Guansheng happened to be in Wuhan at the time. He quickly found him. Zhou Guansheng found the man again.
God. He took down this article after all the hard talking, but he still sent this article to the Soviet Union and circulated it internally. Haha, he didn’t care about the money. It’s a telegram of several thousand words.”
Mr. Peng stopped being angry and thought for a while and said, "I think this matter is not a small matter. It represents the thoughts of some people in our party. What is the chairman's opinion?"
Mr. Zhu put the newspaper away and said, "Chairman said, everything should be based on facts. Now is a critical period. If we have a big discussion now, it is likely to affect subsequent plans. Let's put it aside for now. After our plan is successful, everyone will
After a comparison, we will naturally know who is right and who is wrong. Our task is still to prepare for the plan."
Boss Peng took a breath and said, "Then we really can't lose. But we can't lose either. We have the backing of the people. We can't lose!"
