The Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou defense fortifications are divided into three parts:

1. Positions in the Beijing-Shanghai area: The first position is located in Wujiang County to Fushan Town, and the second position is located on the Xicheng line from Wuxi to Jiangyin. An intermediate position is set up on the line from Guishan to Meicun between the two positions. The rear position was brought to the line from Shizhuang to Changzhou.

2. Positions in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area: The first position is located from Zhapu to Jiashan (Zhajia line), and the second position is located from Suzhou to Jiaxing (Sujia line). Flank positions were also constructed on the coastal section between the two positions

3. Positions in Nanjing: The main positions are arranged in the line of Longtan, Qixia Mountain, Qinglong Mountain, Cangbomen, Dashengguan, Shangxinhe, Xiaguan and Yanziji, forming a closed circular position.

The fortification was designed in 1933 by the Fortress Group of the General Staff Headquarters. The main contents are: the infantry battalion position as a unit (the regimental position is used for particularly important sections, and the company position is used for minor sections). A front-line position and a reserve position are set up in the position, and equipment for shooting, observation, communication, transportation, camouflage, bunkers, and obstacles are built, and light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and battle defense artillery fortifications are the main body to form a circular defense system. The building materials are mainly reinforced concrete, and natural obstacles are used as much as possible, supplemented by artificial obstacles, to form permanent fortifications.

Chiang Kai-shek intended to fight the enemy to the death with the strong fortifications of the Xicheng Line. Xue Yue also said: "As long as Changxing and Wuxing can hold firmly, it is better to be on the Xicheng line than to make a final duel with the enemy near Nanjing." However, when hundreds of thousands of troops retreated to Xicheng, they were bombed indiscriminately by the Japanese air force, coupled with muddy roads, and their movements were slow, crowded and chaotic.

On November 16, Xue Yue's troops retreated to a small town near Jiangyin to prepare for a day of rest. Lin Junxiong heard that Xue Yue had a cold, so he found some honey and brought it with him and went to visit the patient.

After days of marching and cold, Xue Yue looked a little tired, and was lying down to rest, Lin Junxiong boiled the water, brewed the honey water, and gently put it on the table, but Xue Yue suddenly woke up and said a little weakly: "Junxiong is here." ”

"Big brother, I heard a German doctor say that honey contains a variety of bioactive substances, which can stimulate the body's immune function, and can effectively treat and prevent colds and other viral diseases.

Xue Yue took a few sips of the brewed honey water and said, "Thank you, Junxiong, you have a heart." It just so happened that you came over, and you went outside with me to see if all the troops had withdrawn. ”

"Big brother, you're like this, take a good rest, you arrange for someone to go and see, just go back and tell you, why do you want to go in person."

"I'm a soldier, what's this sickness? Let's go, where did you learn so long-winded, almost the same as your sister-in-law. ”

Lin Junxiong knew that Xue Yue's temper was very stubborn, and once he decided, it was difficult to change things. He had no choice but to get Xue Yue's coat, Xue Yue didn't want to wear it, but he was reluctantly put on by Lin Junxiong after being softly ground and soaked for a long time, and he said in his mouth: "You kid, who can't learn well, learn from your sister-in-law." ”

"What to learn from my sister-in-law, why don't I think so."

"Long-winded, your sister-in-law is also long-winded many times."

"Isn't this all for the sake of the eldest brother, the next time I see my sister-in-law, I will sue and say that the eldest brother said that she was verbose."

Xue Yue laughed out loud and said, "What about that little girl in Xue Nai, hasn't she caught up with the troops yet?" ”

"I said I could come and join us tonight, and I should be fine with the Twilight Guardian. Commander Xue, let's go, go early and come back early, didn't the doctor tell you that you should drink more water and rest if you have a cold? ”

"Let's go, rambling."

Lin Junxiong accompanied Xue Yue to inspect several troop garrisons, inquired about it, and then ordered the driver to take a look at the scattered troop gathering places outside the city.

As soon as Lin Junxiong wanted to say something to stop it, Xue Yue said: "Junxiong, many troops have been scattered, and the soldiers can't find the original troops in groups of three or five, we still have to give them care and help, let them return to their original troops, don't underestimate this force, there are thousands of people gathered outside the city, if we don't take care of and help, it will be equivalent to the loss of a regiment for the party-state." ”

Lin Junxiong looked out the window, thinking that there were almost five or six regiments in the Zhuyuan Village area, and cursed in his heart for a while this damn war, damn Japan. Xue Yue thought that Lin Junxiong was angry, and turned around and said: "It's a young man in his twenties, why are you still playing with a child's temper, I promise you, I'll go back and rest after reading it here, you can talk to me now, right?" ”

"Words count, Commander Xue, nearly 100,000 people are waiting for you to command."

"I told you last time that I was going to make you the commander of the 45th Brigade I guess I have to wait a little longer, and the current war situation is urgent, and the Ministry of Military Affairs estimates that there is no time to take care of it, and the chairman of the committee can't talk about it for the rest of the year."

"Big brother, let it be, don't be too careful, besides, the chairman is so busy, how can he pay attention to the appointment of a brigade commander."

"I'm afraid that you think that the eldest brother doesn't say anything, and he has promised that he hasn't seen it implemented for several months, don't worry, when the war eases, I will arrange this matter."

"Big brother, I'm not in a hurry, let's talk about it when the opportunity is right. By the way, my sister-in-law is still in Guiyang? ”

"Then what can I do, wait for a few days to settle down and then pick them up, right now, it's not a matter for her to follow me with a large family."

"How is the old lady's health, I miss her."

"The old lady is fine, but every time your sister-in-law asks you more than my son-in-law, I am a little jealous."

"Big brother, you also said that I went to play with the old lady for nearly a month last time, and the old lady said that you usually have a tight face, and you don't know what to say to you, and you don't dare to teach you a lesson."

"Am I that scary?"

"Home is a warm harbor, the next time my eldest brother sees my sister-in-law, don't make a fuss at home, so that your family doesn't dare to get close to you."

"You kid, listen to you, I've been fighting everywhere all these years, and I've been with your sister-in-law a little bit and I've ignored her feelings, and I'll try to keep a smile at home in the future."

Outside a big mansion outside the town, some stragglers walked towards the house in groups of three or five, and there was an officer sitting at a large table behind the door, who was registering the arriving stragglers, as soon as he saw Xue Yue coming, the officer immediately stopped the pen in his hand, got up and saluted: "Commander!" ”

"Well, keep busy with you, I'm just coming over and seeing."

Some stragglers heard the officer call the commander and began to exchange words, the bold soldiers kept saying words of thanks, Xue Yue nodded and walked inside.

Lin Junxiong followed behind Xue Yue, he noticed that there were five people who were smiling unnaturally, with joy and viciousness in their eyes from time to time, and he paid attention to the actions of these five people as he walked.

When Xue Yue walked past the five people, Lin Junxiong still squinted from time to time, when the two sides staggered the distance of five or six meters, Lin Junxiong suddenly found that one of the five people put his hand into his arms, he turned around suddenly, the man took out a pistol from his arms, quickly pulled the bolt and shot at Xue Yue, Xue Yue turned his back, heard the gunshot, he turned around sharply but saw Lin Junxiong had blocked in front of him, and then saw Lin Junxiong slowly falling, blood oozing from his chest. Xue Yue shouted: "Take them down, life or death." ”

The moment Lin Junxiong fell, he grabbed Xue Yue's hand and said weakly: "Big brother, stay alive and investigate"

"Junxiong is coming, call a doctor quickly, those five people are caught alive and sent to the headquarters for interrogation."

Soon, a military doctor came over, checked it, shook his head and said to Xue Yue: "The bullet hit the heart, there is no way." ”

"What kind of doctor are you, doesn't he still have a breath, he can still save it, I ordered you to save him, it's not good for him, and you won't live."

The doctor saw Xue Yue, and quickly re-examined, and found that Lin Junxiong's heart was still beating, he was a little strange, and hurriedly helped Lin Junxiong stop the bleeding, and after a busy job, he said to Xue Yue: "Commander, I can only treat the wound briefly, my medical skills are limited, unless Dr. Wang is here." ”

"Where is Dr. Wang, hurry up and find her."

"Doctor Wang is in the town, when you send him over, you should be gentle, not too fast, and not violently shaken."

Xue Yue arranged for someone to hurry up to find Dr. Wang, pull him to the headquarters, and ordered someone to lift Lin Junxiong to the car and lay it flat, so that the driver could drive carefully back to the headquarters slowly.

Xue Yue looked at Lin Junxiong with concern and said, "Brother, you can't have anything to do, you must survive." ”

Along the way, the driver accidentally bumped in one place, and Xue Yue scolded. When he arrived at the headquarters, Xue Yue arranged for someone to gently carry Lin Junxiong to the bed in the house, and when he saw Doctor Wang, Xue Yue took her hand and said, "Doctor Wang, you must save him, I order you to cure him." ”

Doctor Wang was a woman about thirty years old, and when she saw Xue Yue holding her hand, she blushed and said, "Commander Xue, I will definitely do my best, but can you let me go first." ”

Xue Yue let go of her hand a little embarrassed and said sorry repeatedly.

Doctor Wang examined Lin Junxiong's eyes and mouth, carefully dismantled the wound, carefully cleaned it, and after repeatedly checking it with instruments, he asked Lin Junxiong to gently help him up, looked at the wound in the north, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She helped Lin Junxiong retreat the wounds before and after, and after dressing them with medicine, she gave Lin Junxiong another injection of anti-inflammatory drugs.

After all this, Dr. Wang's forehead was already oozing beads of sweat, she untied her mask and said to Xue Yue: "Commander Xue, his life is really big, the bullet is very close to the heart, fortunately, the bullet is from the bottom to the top, just avoid the heart position, and the bullet warhead is not left in the body, pay attention to cultivation, it should be able to recover in two or three months, these days to avoid long-distance travel, change the dressing in time." ”

"You mean he's okay?"

"It's okay for now, Commander, but you still have to pay attention to see if there is any deterioration."

Xue Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves were also relaxed, he ordered someone to take good care of him, guard it day and night, and report it immediately if he found any abnormalities. Doctor Wang talked about some things to pay attention to, and explained some details that the people who took care of Lin Junxiong should pay attention to before leaving.

Before Dr. Wang walked out of the door, he heard Xue Yue shouting: "Go and arrest the military doctor at the straggler registration office and shoot him, he almost killed my brother." ”

Doctor Wang hurriedly walked back and said, "Commander Xue, this can't be blamed on him, your brother's injury does look like a hit to the heart from the front, but he was lucky, the bullet went up, if you don't look very carefully, you really can't see it." ”

"Okay, for Dr. Wang's sake, I'll spare my brother."

"Come on, bring those captured assassins to the backyard, and I'll interrogate them myself."
