Xu Rui stood under the transformer with a bamboo pole in his hand, looked around and asked loudly: "Are you all ready?"
"Ready!" Everyone responded in unison. Doudou, who always kept his emotions a secret, also cheered, and the second emperor was running around happily among the crowd.●⌒,
"Okay, count to ten with me, one!" Xu Rui led everyone to start counting from one to ten, then gently pushed up with the bamboo pole in his hand, the gantry closed, and the street lights on both sides of the street
It lit up immediately. Even though it was only a very dim light, it was enough to excite everyone for a long time.
"Aniang, now you don't have to mend your clothes under the oil lamp anymore," Erya said.
"Who says it's not? This electric lamp is much brighter than the foreign oil lamp." Aunt Han said but suddenly started crying, "It's a pity that Fengzi's father can't be seen anymore."
Han Feng, Erya and the neighbors all gathered around to comfort him.
Aunt Han quickly wiped away her tears, smiled and said to everyone: "I'm fine, I'm really fine."
On this special day, Aunt Han didn't want to disturb everyone's good mood because of her own affairs.
The Dameishan Base finally has its own power supply and lighting system.
Immediately after the army compound, the lights in Meizhen in the distance and a dozen surrounding villages that had electricity were also turned on. Several miles away, Xu Rui could hear the cheers ringing from the town and surrounding villages.
, from now on, the people in the base area can say goodbye to the days of foreign oil lamps forever.
The power plant that Xu Rui moved from Feicheng has enough power to supply all the factories in Feicheng and the Japanese garrison headquarters, and provide lighting and electricity for hundreds of thousands of people in the base area. Isn't that more than enough? It is the later arsenal, cement
Once the factory is built, there will be no problem with power supply.
The coal resources used to generate electricity are sufficient. The fire in the Yematan coalfield has been extinguished. If you dig deeper, you will still find a thick anthracite coal seam. Some students who have studied geology have estimated that the anthracite coal in Yematan is sufficient.
Dameishan Power Plant consumes decades of electricity.
The only thing that worries Xu Rui is that there is no concept of environmental protection at this time, let alone environmental protection measures.
Over time, the thermal power plant in the base area will inevitably cause serious damage to the environment of Damei Mountain, especially the Mei River, which will turn into a black water river in just a few years.
However, Xu Rui cannot take care of this now.
If the country is going to perish, and the nation is going to be wiped out, what’s the point of leaving green mountains and green waters?
The top priority is naturally to build factories first and develop industry first. As for environmental protection, we will wait until the war of resistance against Japan is won and the whole country is liberated before we can think of a solution.
With the introduction of electric lighting, the efficiency of working at night has been substantially improved.
The new regiment headquarters of the Independent Regiment is just outside the gate of the army compound. It is a row of bungalows with more than 20 rooms. Each department has separate offices. Xu Rui and Wang Husheng now have separate offices.
Walking into his office, looking at the dim lights lighting up the whole room, Xu Rui felt much more comfortable than the original lantern. Damn, now he finally has a bit of modern life, and he no longer has to carry it with one hand like before.
Holding a lantern in his hand, he was working on the map with a pencil square in one hand.
Next to Commander Xu Rui's room is a large bungalow, which is the war room.
Every once in a while, a group of trainee soldiers from the youth training camp will come to the regiment headquarters to serve as intern staff officers. This time, the intern staff officers have already set up a sand table in the war room. However, at this moment, there is no one around the simulated sand table.
At this moment, all the cadet soldiers gathered in front of a big table and were watching the two veteran cadet soldiers working on the drawings.
Those two veteran soldiers were students of the first youth training team and were also the official staff officers of the regiment headquarters.
Most of the youth training team cadets at the same age as He Shuya, Huang Shouxin, and Mei Jiuling have now gone down to the frontline units to serve as platoon commanders or even company commanders. Three of them, like He Shuya, have become battalion commanders.
Marked on the map is the situation between the enemy and ourselves in the Wuhan battle.
Because of Xu Rui, history has been completely and profoundly changed.
In the historical Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army occupied Wuhan and was considered a victory. However, in fact, none of the tactical goals set before the war were achieved. They neither destroyed a large number of effective forces of the National Army nor achieved the main goal of forcing the National Government to surrender.
strategic intent.
In fact, the Japanese army only occupied a narrow area from Anqing to Wuhan along the north and south banks of the Yangtze River.
However, this narrow area along the south, inner and north banks of the Yangtze River not only did not bring any benefits to the Japanese army, but instead placed a heavy burden on the Japanese army. In addition to stationing heavy troops to garrison Wuhan, they must also always beware of nationals from both sides of the Yangtze River.
The attack by the army can be said to be strategically harmful but without any benefit.
But now, the situation is very different.
The biggest difference is that Changsha City has been lost!
Although Wuhan has not yet been lost, and although the main force of the National Army in the Ninth Theater and the Fifth Theater is still fighting fiercely day and night with the main force of the Japanese 11th Army on both sides of the Yangtze River, the Japanese 3rd Division, which has detoured from Nanchang, has taken advantage of the opportunity.
Nearly half of Hunan has been invaded, and Wuhan has been de facto surrounded.
Once Wuhan falls, the Japanese army will completely control the Huguang Plain, which is known as the granary of the world!
Once Huguang falls, the impact on the entire process of the Sino-Japanese War will be absolutely catastrophic!
Because of the loss of Huguang, the National Army's military ration supply will be even more tense, while the Japanese Army's military ration supply can be greatly alleviated.
Although the National Army Headquarters tried its best to piece together its forces and launched a counterattack toward Changsha from Hengyang, Chenzhou, and Yueyang at the same time, trying to retake Changsha and reopen the southern section of Pinghan Road, the reality was extremely cruel.
The troops not only lacked training, but also lacked equipment, and were completely vulnerable to the well-trained and well-equipped Japanese army.
After the Japanese 3rd Division occupied Changsha, it quickly divided into two groups and marched south to attack Hengyang and Shaoguan. The main force of the division moved north along the railway line, aiming directly at Wuhan. It was still on the south bank of the Yangtze River with the Japanese Botian Detachment and the 27th Army.
The main force of the Ninth Theater Division, which was engaged in a fierce battle, was in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army.
In order to stabilize the severe situation on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the National Army Headquarters has mobilized troops from the north of the Yangtze River to the south several times. The number of troops concentrated on the south bank of the Yangtze River has now reached three legions.
Only Sun Lianzhong's 3rd Army Corps and two more armies were left in Jiangbei.
It can be said that the defense on the north bank of the Yangtze River was already very empty at this time.
However, at this time, the Zhang Gufeng incident suddenly came to an end.
When the time entered July, the Japanese government, under pressure from the Central China battlefield, finally made a major compromise to the Soviet government, ceding several strategic highlands such as Zhanggufeng at the junction of the Soviet Union and Manchuria to the Soviet army, and at the same time secretly signed a peace treaty with the Soviet Union.
With the agreement, the situation in Manchuria calmed down and the clouds of war disappeared.
After removing the threat from Manchuria, the 2nd Army was finally able to set off south.
By the end of July, Shanshan, Dong Jiurenyan's 2nd Army, arrived late and finally arrived in Wuhu on a navy ship. Jiangnan, who was lurking in Nanjing, immediately passed this confidential information back to Dameishan.
At this time, two veteran soldiers from the first phase of youth training were marking the progress of the 2nd Army on the map.
I saw two veteran soldiers quickly drawing a huge blue arrow on the map, going all the way north from Wuhu to Feicheng, and then marked the arrow: 2nd Army.
Xu Rui walked into the war room and happened to see this scene.
Seeing Xu Rui walking in, the cadet soldiers stood at attention and saluted.
The student soldier who was still drawing just now quickly put down the pencil in his hand and stood at attention to report to Xu Rui: "Captain, we just received news from Nanjing that Dong Jiure's 2nd Army has arrived in Wuhu."
"Dong Jiu Nianyan is finally here." Xu Rui nodded, then turned around and told Lei Xiang, "Leizi, ask the communications company to send someone immediately and notify all battalion commanders to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting."
"Yes." Lei Xiang turned around and walked away.
(Dividing line)
The information provided by Jiangnan is actually not very accurate.
In fact, only the 15th Division of the Second Army has arrived in Wuhu. The 10th Division is still on the Yangtze River heading to Nanjing. As for the 16th Division, it is still at sea.
The weather tonight was not very good. The wind and waves were high on the Yangtze River. The gunboats carrying troops kept swaying from side to side. Many Japanese soldiers were vomiting and were in a state of confusion.
However, this little kid Dong Jiuer Nianyan had nothing to do. He was even in the mood to stand on the bow of the boat and watch the night view.
The Chief of Staff of the 2nd Army, Machijiri Ryouki, came out of the cabin, walked behind Higashikawa Nishikihiko, and advised: "Your Highness, the wind and waves outside are too great. For your safety, please go back to the cabin?"
Dong Jiuer waved his hand and said with some displeasure: "Machijiri-san, please don't call me your highness. I am not a prince now, but just a soldier and an ordinary emperor. In the same way, I
I will only remind you once and never again."
"Hai." Machijiri nodded and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, for your safety, please return to the cabin."
"Safe?" Dong Jiuer shook his head and said, "China leader Chiang Kai-shek once said that once the war breaks out, the land will not be divided into north and south, and people, old and young, will have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war. This applies to the imperial army.
The same principle applies to soldiers. No matter how big or small the officials are, no matter how high or low they are, they all have the mission of pioneering and forging ahead! As a soldier, in this holy war that is related to the destiny of the empire, where is there not danger and where is not the battlefield?"
"Hai." Machijiri Liangji was speechless and could only pause and greet him again.
Higashikata breathed a sigh of relief, then looked back into the eyes of Machijiri Shoki and said, "Machijiri-san, do you know what I was thinking when I was standing on the bow just now?"
Machijiri Yuuki shook his head and said he didn't know.
Dongjiu Nianyan said: "I remembered that sixteen years ago, it was also a night like this. My royal brother and I took the British battleship Queen Elizabeth to France. At that time, I was standing on the bow of the ship like this, and
My imperial brother was standing where you are now. At that time, the imperial brother was really high-spirited. He only had one thought in his mind: to learn a skill and then return to the country to expand the territory for the empire!"
