After Lin Junxiong arrived at Zhuyuanling with the 89th regiment, he immediately built fortifications according to the terrain. Zhuyuan Ridge is a small hill with a height of only seventy or eighty meters, but the geographical location is indeed quite important, it is located on the south bank of Fuzaobang, a simple road passes under the ridge, and the other side of the highway is the Zhuyuan River that is about 20 meters wide, through this road can be directly inserted into the Zhuyuan Village behind, and then go around to the rear of the 21st Group Army of Liao Lei of the Middle Route Army, and carry out a flanking attack on the Central Route Army.

Lin Junxiong observed the terrain and found that there was a gentle hillside to the east of Zhuyuan Ridge, and if the Japanese army came, the attack should be launched there, Lin Junxiong called Pan Zhiyang and Wei Xin and the three battalion commanders over to discuss how to effectively build fortifications.

Pan Zhiyang thought for a while and said: "Regiment commander, I suggest setting up two or three trenches, so that even if the first line of defense cannot be defended, you can retreat to the second line, and you can also take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to recapture the first line of defense. ”

Lin Junxiong nodded and said, "Lao Pan's idea is very good, do other people have anything to add?" ”

Fang Yun, the commander of the second battalion, said: "Regiment commander, I think this gentle slope may indeed be the main direction of the enemy's attack, but if the enemy can't attack for a long time, it is very likely to choose other offensive directions, such as the junction of Zhuyuan Ridge and Yuehua Mountain in the northeast. ”

"Well, this consideration of the battalion commander Fang is reasonable, the northeast direction should also set up a defensive line here, to put an end to all possible covert attack places, the other side of Yuehua Mountain is the territory of the Middle Route Army, the possibility of the enemy turning over Yuehua Mountain is relatively small, if you choose the attack direction from the side of Zhuyuan Village, then Zhuyuan Ridge is the main attack point, in addition, I looked at the terrain behind the mountain, the terrain over there is gentle, some people just say that as long as the Japanese army occupies Zhuyuan Ridge, then we will face no danger later, so we must hold Zhuyuan Ridge. The construction of the fortifications was in charge of the deputy regiment commander Pan, Wei Xin had to prepare the troops for three to four days of life supply, the first battalion commander was responsible for blowing up the road, and the second battalion commander was responsible for the defensive arrangement in the northeast direction. ”

After Lin Junxiong finished speaking, he thought about whether there was anything missing, and thought about his fate, so he said: "Okay, let's do this first, everyone go and prepare, and if you have any new ideas, come to me at any time to discuss." ”

On October 19, the Chinese troops guarding the southern bank of Fuzaobang cooperated with Liao Lei's 21st Army to launch a full-front counterattack. On the same day, the Japanese 9th Division of Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the 101st Division of Masaki Ito and the 1st Division of the 3rd Division also launched a fierce attack on the southern bank of Fumohama.

Looking at the battle report, Lin Junxiong was a little worried, the Japanese army invested a large number of armored troops and aircraft, the middle route army suffered heavy casualties, and it was only a matter of time before they retreated, in order to defeat the national army more quickly, the possibility of the Japanese army going around to Zhuyuan Village was gradually increasing.

Lin Junxiong went to inspect the fortifications that had been completed, and a dark cloud suddenly obscured the sun, Lin Junxiong looked up at the sky, and suddenly thought that if the Japanese army's combat method was followed, the usual situation was that the artillery fire would cover the attack target first, or the aircraft would bomb it first, and then the infantry would advance layer by layer to occupy the target. Lin Junxiong looked at the trench layout of the troops again, thought for a while, and found Pan Zhiyang in a trench.

"Lao Pan, I have an idea, I will discuss it when I say it. You see, according to the combat habits of the Japanese army, they usually artillery or aircraft first bombard the attacking target, and then the elite infantry advances to occupy it, do you have no problem with this? ”

"Yes, this is the usual means and combat methods of the Japanese army, is there any problem?"

"Think about it carefully, whether our trenches and defensive line can withstand the Japanese artillery fire, and whether we can control the casualties?"

"This casualty is definitely inevitable, what good way does the regiment commander have?"

"I just inspected the trenches, and found that there are many places where there are some lonely rocks to block, and the trenches have to be detoured, I want to use these lonely rocks to dig a part of the cover caves against artillery fire behind the lonely stones, and when the Japanese artillery fire begins to bombard, the troops will withdraw to these caves, and when the Japanese infantry attack, the troops will quickly enter the position, which can reduce some casualties, do you think it is feasible?"

"Regiment commander, this is a good idea, feasible, quite feasible, the current defense line of the troops has been arranged, according to the investigation, the Japanese army will be two days away from us at the earliest, two days is enough time for us to dig these bunker caves, and these lonely rocks can completely resist the Japanese artillery fire, I immediately arrange to dig as much as you want, so that all the troops can withdraw in."

"Well, I hope it's still too late, just now the division headquarters called and said that the 101st Division of the Japanese Army Ito Masaki has defeated the national army defending frontally, and there are signs of moving in the direction of Zhuyuan, Lao Pan, you have to make proper arrangements and complete it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, regiment commander, I will immediately arrange for people to work in turns without interruption, and I will definitely improve it before the enemy attacks."

After Pan Zhiyang left with an excited expression, Lin Junxiong was about to leave, Zheng Ming hurriedly ran over and said, "Commander, go to the back mountain to have a look, there is a quarrel over there." ”

"Ah, who got into a fight with whom?"

"It's the noble guard company that is quarreling with some local people, you should hurry over."

When Lin Junxiong heard this, he was a little anxious, how could the team quarrel with the local people before the battle began, this is okay, if this noble really does something to shake the morale of the army, Lin Junxiong is ready to immediately let him take the troops back to the division headquarters.

Lin Junxiong hurried to the temporary regimental headquarters halfway up the back mountain, and saw a group of local people arguing with the noble guard company. Seeing Lin Junxiong, Gao Shang grabbed an elderly person and said, "Uncle, this is our regiment leader, you tell him, there are some things I can't do." ”

"Hello sir, I am the village chief of Zhuyuan Village, a few days ago your people came to our village to let us organize the evacuation first, and now some old and weak women and children in Zhuyuan Village have been evacuated, I brought some young people in the village to come over to see if I can help the chiefs."

Lin Junxiong thought that it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the village chief: "Uncle, we are here on the battlefield, and the Japanese are about to fight, so you should take everyone to a safe place first, and then come back to rebuild your home after the battle is over." ”

"Sir, a few people from our village who are doing business outside came back from Shanghai a few days ago, and they also brought back some news, knowing that the national army is relatively passive now, but you are still holding on for us ordinary people, you have worked hard."

"Uncle, it is the duty of our soldiers to defend the homeland and defend the country, the Japanese soldiers are well-equipped, but our national army has not given up, the defeat is only temporary, and we will definitely drive little Japan out of China."

"Sir, we ordinary people also want to do our part to protect the family and defend the country, although the little old man can't help much, but he can take these young people in the village to do logistics work for you, sir, don't refuse, we are only in the rear, not on the front line."

"Uncle, this"

"The chief doesn't look down on us people, the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible, although we are of no great use, but we can also do what we can."

"Uncle, well, I'll ask the chief of staff of the regiment to make arrangements for you later, and on behalf of all the officers and men of the 89th Regiment of the 15th Division of the 73rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army, I would like to thank my fathers and fellow villagers!"

Seeing that Lin Junxiong agreed, the village chief immediately laughed happily, he grabbed Lin Junxiong and said: "Sir, I only brought five or six people up, and there are more than a dozen people watching the food and materials we sent at the bottom of the mountain, please be sure to accept it." ”

"Uncle, you gave us food, do you have enough to eat?"

"There aren't many, mainly because when the village was evacuated, some pigs, chickens, ducks or something, it was also troublesome to bring them, so they were simply left to the chiefs."

"Uncle, then I thank you on behalf of the whole group of brothers."

Wei Xin came up from the mountain, Lin Junxiong pulled him over and said: "Chief of Staff Wei, there are some things sent by the old folks of Zhuyuan Village at the bottom of the mountain, you can arrange someone to count them and give them to this old man according to the corresponding price." ”

"Sir, this is unacceptable, in this case, the whole village will scold me."

"Uncle, we are the people's soldiers, if we take your things and don't give money, what is the difference between it and bandits, we also have corresponding rules in the army, if you don't do this, my summit will punish me, Uncle has sent some young and middle-aged people to help us a lot, you must accept the money."

"Hey, okay then, I'll go back and arrange for the rest of the people to evacuate, and this guy called Gou Yu will be in charge here", said the village chief, pulling a strong young man over.

The village chief explained that the dog left after some explanation, and Lin Junxiong also arranged for Wei Xin and the dog to accept the things sent by the villagers.

After Wei Xin accepted the things back, Lin Junxiong asked him to arrange for the whole group to improve the food in the evening.

At dinner time in the evening, the soldiers were overjoyed to see the sumptuous dinner, and Lin Junxiong called the officers above the company commander together.

"Brothers, these pork, chickens, ducks and fish are all sent by the villagers of Zhuyuan Village, everyone go back to do a pre-war mobilization, let everyone remember that these are the hearts of the respectable and lovely fathers and villagers, the war may make us face the threat of death, but death is not terrible, the terrible thing is that we have failed the thousands of fathers and villagers behind us, the terrible thing is that we have no face to see them, the Japanese army may soon attack us here, so that everyone is ready to die and live and die with Zhuyuanling."

The officers went back to their respective teams, and Lin Junxiong said to Pan Zhiyang and Wei Xin: "An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 soldiers." If all the people of China stood up and fought against the Japanese invaders, each person could drown the hundreds of thousands of invading Japanese troops with a mouthful of spit. Maybe the war will last for some time, but I believe that the final victory belongs to China, come, we have done this cup and work together to drive out the invaders as soon as possible. ”
