"Yo Xi, wait until the bombardment is over, cooperate with the tank troops, and capture their outer positions first."
"Hi!"
…
After more than ten minutes, the Japanese shelling finally stopped.
On the national army position, most of the soldiers came out of the fortifications and shook the dirt off their bodies. The shock they had just received in the artillery holes was so severe that their ears were still ringing.
But they quickly lay down on the ground, picked up their rifles, and waited for the Japanese to attack, so that they could give the Japanese a head-on blow.
Then, they saw the Japanese slowly approaching their position.
"Wait until the Japs get closer, then fight!" a company commander shouted loudly, "Wait until the Japs get closer, and the camp will tell you to fight, then fight!"
"yes!"
…
"Hit!" A captain yelled and fired a shot first. Then, there was a loud sound of gunfire on the position. Because the Japanese were brought closer to fight, the effect was still good at this time, but the casualties would be greater. Because,
As the distance between the two becomes smaller, not only will their marksmanship become more accurate, but the Japanese will also become more accurate.
…
"Yalu! Mortar man, attack me!"
"Hi!"
"Machine gunner, suppress enemy firepower!"
"Hi!"
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
The bullets flew towards the National Army position, kicked up the soil, and injured National Army soldiers.
…
"Be careful in the camp!" A soldier protected the captain, and then a mortar shell fell next to the soldier.
"boom!"
"Xiao Liu!" The captain pushed the soldier away, but what he could touch was hot blood, "Medical soldier! Medical soldier!"
"Camp seat!"
"Quick, carry Xiao Liu down and treat his injury!"
Afterwards, the two medical soldiers quickly put the soldiers on the stretchers and carried the injured soldiers away in the trenches.
"Brothers, call the Japanese hard!" the captain said loudly. At the same time, he turned to the left, dodged a bullet, aimed at a Japanese soldier, and pressed the trigger. He had just graduated from the military academy.
He did not choose the independent division, and was then assigned to serve as a battalion commander under a group army in the fifth theater. He did not regret his choice. The independent division was still too far away after all.
For a time, the density of gunshots on the national army position became even louder.

"Are the Japanese fighting again?" Zhou Weiguo looked at the telegram and said with a smile, "It looks like Nei Okamura wants to teach us some lessons."
"Yes, the committee rejected the Japs' request and gave us awards to expand the navy and air force. The Japs felt very uncomfortable." Li Weimin replied with a smile, "I have already written down the amount of the awards, but
, this award, our funds are not enough."
"It's okay," Zhou Weiguo said, "In a few days, a sum of funds will arrive in your account."
"A sum? How much?"
"7 million."
"That batch of equipment from the Eighth Route Army?"
"Yes. This 7 million is enough for us to survive this month. When the money for penicillin comes in next month, it will be enough." Zhou Weiguo said, "By the way, how is the construction of the second airport going?
"
"It has been built." Li Weimin said, "It has been built a long time ago, but how about the personnel?"
"Recruit!" Zhou Weiguo said, "I remember that some of Dingtian's friends should have come to join us before, right?"
"Yeah." Li Weimin nodded, "One of them is named Zhu Jiaxun, I remember it very clearly."
"Let them recruit people directly and use the second airport! The establishment is the Third Air Force Brigade!" Zhou Weiguo immediately said, "How many people are recruited and trained, how many planes will I give them!"
"Okay. Just you rich guy!" Li Weimin said with a smile. Although he didn't know where Zhou Weiguo got these fighter planes, or if they were conjured as Zhou Weiguo said, he didn't really believe it after all.
"The navy also needs to be recruited!" Zhou Weiguo said, "We are not afraid of the large number of people in the air force and navy."
"Okay, I'll give the order right now."
"Send a report to the Navy and ask Zhang Qian to come see me. Then send a report to Qiu Ao and Zhu Jiaxun and ask them to come see me."
"good."
…

"Master, are you looking for me?" A tall man walked into the headquarters and said.
Zhou Weiguo looked up and said with a smile, "Well, come on, sit down."
"Thank you Master!"
"Presumably, you should know about the expansion of our navy and air force." Zhou Weiguo said directly.
"Well, yes, General Chen Jiliang is a tough man. I admire him." Zhang Qiandao, "I also admire his performance in the Jiangyin naval battle."
"do you know him?"
"We know each other. However, I retired last year. When we were in Jiangyin, I fought with General Chen Jiliang." Zhang Qiandao, "If he is seriously injured and cannot retreat, if the Japanese destroy a flagship, he will replace it with another and continue. At the end of the command, he also said that the best destination for the Chinese revolutionary army is to fight the enemy to the death at the last moment. Although we suffered heavy losses in the end, we also shot down more than 20 Japanese fighter planes."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "So, I will directly recommend you to be the deputy commander and deputy chief of staff of the First Marine Division. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Master, you can rest assured that General Chen Jiliang is also a man who is dedicated to fighting the Japanese." Zhang Gan said with a smile, "I don't know how to play with those twisted things."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "If this is the case, I'm afraid there will still be some other troubles. This time, the Chairman wants to take over the command of the navy and air force of our independent division. You must know that once the navy and air force are expanded into divisions, our independent division will also be division, the command authority over the navy and air force is no longer established."
Zhang Qian was silent and then said, "I will control the navy well."
"Just understand." Zhou Weiguo said immediately, "Then I will recommend General Lin Jianzhang as the Chief of Staff of the First Division. After all, he is now a little older."
"Okay, they are all my seniors, and I understand them. Master, don't worry."
"Okay! I want a navy that can fight the enemy head-on. You have to train them well. Don't be afraid of using fuel. I am an independent division and I have never been short of money."
"Yes!" Zhang Qian smiled happily. When he was in the central government, he had never experienced such a generous leader. If he had money, he would have much better opportunities to develop.
"Go for it!"
…
"Report!" Two more voices came from outside the headquarters.
When Zhou Weiguo saw it, it was Qiu Ao, and there was another person he was not familiar with. He thought it was Zhu Jiaxun, the top pilot of the Guangdong and Guangxi Air Force. He later "retired due to injury" and ended up not being able to return to the Air Force. "Come in."
"Master, are you looking for us?" Qiu Ao asked.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, then looked at Zhu Jiaxun, saluted Zhu Jiaxun, and said, "Welcome to the independent division!"
"Zhu Jiaxun, I've met the master!" Zhu Jiaxun immediately returned the greeting to Zhou Weiguo. He was actually very grateful to Zhou Weiguo for not turning him away. He originally thought that after being rejected by the Central Air Force, he would never have the chance to return to the blue sky.
