At midnight on July 22, the night on Poyang Lake was like ink, the wind was fierce, "whirring and huh, huh, huh......, huh, huh, hu......h, hu

On the lake, dozens of landing craft passed through the dark lake like sharp arrows and rushed straight to the Gutang position of the defenders on the west bank.

The darkness obscured the sight of the landing craft, and the sound of wind and rain drowned out the sound of the landing craft's motors, and the landing craft sneaked closer to less than five hundred meters from the shore, and the defenders who had been waiting for them finally discovered them.

"The little devil is coming, the little devil is coming......"

On the Gutang position, a hoarse roar suddenly sounded, and the defenders hurriedly rose up to block it.

"Bang ......"

The artillery roared, "...... the shells" through the rain curtain and went straight to the landing craft of the Japanese invaders.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The water splashed everywhere, and in the darkness, most of the shells exploded on the surface of the lake.

"Woo Woo ......"

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese shells pierced the night sky and smashed into the defenders' positions...... Boom boom ......", the artillery fire on the position was flying one after another, muddy water splashed everywhere, mixed with stumps and broken arms, "ahhh......h

"Hidden, hidden......"

The hoarse roars of officers at all levels came and went, but how could they be higher than the roaring cannons?

On the small island of Shoe Mountain in the lake, the firelight flickered, and dozens of artillery pieces of the Japanese invaders fired in unison, which instantly suppressed the artillery fire of the defenders.

The landing craft took the opportunity to land, and the little devils of the Potian detachment jumped off the shore and rushed straight to the position.

"Da Da Da ......"

The machine guns on the position began to roar, and the bullets pounced on the little devils' stormtroopers like locusts, "puff puff ......", and the whistling bullets broke through the flesh and bones, knocking the little devils to the ground.

The wind is still blowing, the rain is still falling, the bullets are whistling in the wind and rain, and the water on the ground is dyed red in an instant!

"Mmmm......mmmm

The black-pressed group of planes broke through the rain curtain and swooped down towards the defenders' positions, "shhhh............h Boom boom boom rumbling ......", the defensive position trembled and crumbled.

"Da Da Da ......"

The anti-aircraft machine guns roared angrily, but the enemy planes were already drifting away.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

Gunshots rang out all day long on the shore of Poyang Lake, blood overflowed, and corpses were piled up, no matter how wild he was, he couldn't wash away the mess all over the ground.

After the bombing mission, the group flew through the rain curtain and flew to the Anqing Huolong Bay Airport...... Poyang Lake is only more than 200 kilometers away from Anqing, which is not far for a fighter plane soaring in the sky.

After a short time, the group arrived in the sky over Anqing, there was no wind or rain in Anqing, and through the moonlit hazy night sky, the fire on the ground was faintly visible.

"I'll go again after replenishing the ammunition," said Second Lieutenant Sakurai on the swooping Zero with excitement on his face, "It's really exciting to soar on a rainy night......

Suddenly, the smile on his face froze...... The airport was ablaze and smoke billowed out.

"Hmm......"

The fighter plane hurriedly pulled up, swept past the airport, and soared into the sky.

"Yaga!" Second Lieutenant Sakurai scolded angrily, his face was as pale as paper, and his hand on the lever trembled slightly...... The airport was bombed! Bombed again! It's dangerous, if not for this mission...... I'm already accompanying Lieutenant Koga!

The last time the airfield was attacked, thirteen warplanes were destroyed, and not a single person in the airfield survived...... Those ghostly enemies are so ruthless!

One after another, the fighter planes swept over the Huolong Bay Airport and headed towards Laiwu, but the formation was chaotic, and the pilot's heart was still chaotic...... Huolong Bay Airport is too dangerous, it's a ghost haunt!

The moonlight was sprinkled in the boulder mountain, and the mountain road was mottled with time, and Li Siwei and his party were hurrying and marching westward.

Li Siwei believes that on the battlefield, speed is one of the keys to victory, so in the daily training of the regiment, he attaches great importance to armed cross-country ...... There are no tanks and no cars in the regiment, so let the brothers train a pair of legs!

The team left Boulder Mountain and continued westward.

"Cannon, don't you go to Dahengshan?" Liao Heiniu found that the direction was wrong, and hurriedly found him, "There are still our brothers on Daheng Mountain!" ”

"I'm not going!" Li Siwei didn't stop, "I'll pick them up later." ”

"Cannon," Liao Heiniu looked unwilling, "Now in the past, maybe you can still have a ...... behind the little devil."

Li Siwei still didn't look back, his steps were faster, "Now I can only go to them hard!" The little devil's telegraph is much faster than the legs of the old devils! ”

Liao Heiniu was stunned for a moment, and held back angrily, "Turtle's!" ”

It is true that the telegraph is much faster than two legs, but the two legs of the little devil are not as fast as those of the soldiers of the 66th Regiment.

In Liantan Town, the Muto Brigade was in a hurry, the truck was bumpy on the Anhe Highway, and in the carriage, Takeda Nakasa's face sank like water, and he was silent.

Muto Shaozo on the side sighed, not without admiration, "What kind of enemy is that!" ”

Takeda Nakasa was stunned, yes, what kind of enemy is that? They...... It's not like a ghost!

Yamashita Shaozo frowned, "We...... Did you get the trick? ”

"Medium?" Takeda Nakasa suddenly perked up, "Quick, let the front move forward at full speed, and be sure to stop them near Boulder Mountain!" ”

Dahengshan is a bait, a bait for the tiger to leave the mountain!

The morning light is bright, and the gunfire on the front line of Gutang is still shaking the sky, and the pervasive smoke of gunpowder has cast a thick haze on Gutang.

After repelling wave after wave of attacks by the little devils, the officers and men of the 11th Pre-11th Division were still firmly nailed to their positions, but the casualties were too great.

At the headquarters of the 11th Division, Commander Zhao listened silently to the battle situation that kept coming back, with a steady expression, but the anxiety in his heart was only understood by himself, the 11th Division was not the 11th Division after all, let alone the 33rd Division that fought with his own blood...... How long can Gutang be kept?

"Liyi," he suddenly looked at Deputy Division Commander Jiang, his voice was already calm, "Ask the army commander again, where are the reinforcements?" ”

Deputy Division Commander Jiang was stunned, nodded, and hurriedly walked to the telephone.

"Division commander," the staff officer suddenly opened his mouth, his expression was resolute, and there was a pride in his voice, "Don't worry, we Hunan people have no bad seeds, and the brothers will definitely be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive." ”

Division Commander Zhao was stunned for a moment, and sighed softly, "If you can hold on to this time, the brothers are all good, but the little devil's reinforcements are endless, and our division alone can't hold Gutang...... Gutang can't be lost! ”

Gutang really can't be lost, this is the gateway for the little devils to attack Jiujiang.

Deputy Division Commander Jiang hurriedly came with a happy face, "The brothers of the 15th Division and the 118th Division are already on their way to Gutang. ”

"Good!" Division Commander Zhao perked up, "Tell the brothers that reinforcements are coming, and persistence is victory!" ”

"Mmmm......mmmm

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of wings roaring in the sky was heard again, "Shhh......h

Bombed Anqing Airport, the little devil still has Laiwu Airport, even if Laiwu Airport is bombed?

Li Siwei and his entourage hurried back to Macheng, and it was already noon on 26 July. This time, he didn't see Chief He again, and he didn't get a reward.

In the brigade headquarters, Staff Officer Zhang came in a hurry, looked around at Brigade Commander Chen and Li Siwei, and his face was sad, "This morning, Jiujiang lost ......."

Brigade Commander Chen was taken aback, "Jiujiang lost?" ”

Li Siwei did not speak, nor was he surprised. He knew that in the near future, Wuhan would also be lost, and Changsha would also be lost...... But the courage and determination of the Chinese to resist the war will not be lost!

Staff Officer Zhang sighed lightly and lifted his spirits, "Brigade Commander Chen and Regiment Commander Li, you have to be prepared...... The command should come down soon. ”

Staff Officer Zhang came and went in a hurry, but there was a more solemn atmosphere in the brigade headquarters.

After a long time, Brigade Commander Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Siwei, "Siwei, do you think we will be transferred to Taihu Lake?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment and shook his head...... Brigade Commander Chen didn't know, how could he know?

"Hehe," Brigade Commander Chen smiled wryly, stood up, and looked solemn, "It doesn't matter where you go anymore...... No matter where it goes, the 16th Brigade must not lose the face of the Chinese! ”

"Yes!" Li Siwei's expression was complete, "I'll go to the ministries under my post...... No matter where you go, you can't slack off in the training of the troops! ”

He is just a small regiment commander, and he has to obey orders wherever he goes, but he firmly believes that no matter where he goes, as long as his brothers practice their skills well, the 16th Brigade will not disgrace the Chinese soldiers!

Li Siwei hurriedly left the brigade headquarters and took Miao Zhenhua to inspect the various departments.

On the afternoon of July 26, Taihu City fell, but the Imamura detachment that captured Taihu City was soon stopped by the 31st Army in the western suburbs of Taihu Lake, and the two sides fought repeatedly on a front of nearly 70 kilometers along the line of Erlang River, Pavilion and Koikeyi, and by the 29th, the Japanese invaders had been counterattacked nearly 300 times, with heavy casualties, and the Imamura detachment had to ask for reinforcements.

During this period, the 119th Division of the 26th Group Army conquered Tangbu, and the commander of Wu, who had told Li Siwei that "the little devil wants to occupy China, unless the Hunan people die", once led his troops to attack the city of Taihu Lake!

On the 30th, the 6th Division of the Japanese invaders sent the Ushijima detachment to reinforce the Imamura detachment, and asked the navy to send troops to land at Koikekou to coordinate the operation.

However, the northern foot of Dabie Mountain is terrifyingly calm, even the frontline of Lu'an City is calm...... It seems that the little devil really has no intention of attacking Wuhan from the northern foothills, but the Fifth Theater Command, which takes into account the defense line of the northern and southern foothills of the Dabie Mountains, does not dare to be careless, calm does not mean safety, and there will always be a short period of tranquility in the sky before the storm comes.

As for the dispatch of the 16th Brigade, it did not come down as quickly as Staff Officer Zhang said, and Li Siwei still ran back and forth in various units every day, running to the medical platoon in his spare time...... Talk to the wounded, talk to Ning Rou, and fight with Wu Ruolan.

Wu Ruolan is still angry about Li Siwei throwing herself away, so a ruddy Yin Tao small mouth seems a little mean, and Li Siwei is often speechless.

Li Siwei is known as Li Cannon, and that mouth naturally has some kung fu, but he doesn't want to use it to fight with a little girl, so he has to look at Ning Rou for help.

In this regard, Ning Rou would only give him a roll of his eyes every time, "Yes!" ”

Others don't know Wu Ruolan's attachment to Li Siwei, but she does...... Fool, Ruolan doesn't want much, she just needs you to take her, take her forever, even if she dies together, she is happy!

Just like me!

Li Siwei was inexplicable, and often had to flee in the wilderness.

The days passed like this, the 16th Brigade was still in Macheng, and the 66th Regiment was still in Baiguo Town.

On the afternoon of August 1, Susong fell.

On the night of August 3, Huangmei fell.

……

On both sides of the Yangtze River, the sound of guns and cannons does not stop all day long, the enemy and us fight desperately in eastern Hubei and northern Jiangxi, repeatedly fighting for positions in various places, countless towns and fortresses are in ruins, countless soldiers are spilled blood, the earth is full of devastation, and the scorched earth is dyed scarlet!

The battle reports kept coming, and the brothers of the 66th Regiment couldn't sit still, and they asked for battle, but Li Si just waved his hand with a calm face, "Hurry up with a hammer, go back, and wait for the order!" ”

Actually, why isn't he in a hurry? But what's the use of being in a hurry?

On 22 August, the Japanese base camp issued Mainland Order No. 188 to capture Wuhan.

On the same day, the Japanese base camp issued Sea Order No. 135, ordering that "the commander of the Chinese fleet should cooperate with the army to capture Hankow." ”

On the same day, according to the order of the base camp, the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, General Shunroku Hata, issued the 60th No. 60 of the Central Branch Command Army.

The battle of Wuhan kicked off the decisive battle!

As a matter of fact, as early as 20 August, Lieutenant General Higashikure, commander of the Second Army stationed in Hefei, issued an operational order for the Second Army.

Because, he had already noticed that with the attack of the Eleventh Army on both sides of the Yangtze River, the Chinese army was moving from the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains to the Yangtze River on a large scale...... This is the fighter, it must be caught!

On August 26, the vanguard of the Second Army of the Japanese invaders arrived at Shilipu in the east of Lu'an City, and was blocked by the 114th Division of the 54th Army stationed in Lu'an City, and the battle at the northern foot of Dabie Mountain officially began!

On August 28, the morning sun was like blood.

At the 66th Regiment station, as soon as the morning meeting ended, Zhang Yu hurried to the school field and went straight to Li Siwei, "Regiment commander, the brigade commander asked you to go to the meeting!" ”

Li Siwei was stunned, and hurriedly looked at Lu Yongnian behind him, "I'll leave it to you here!" ”

After that, he strode away, with sonorous steps, and a little more righteous spirit...... It must have been appointed!

Miao Zhenhua followed closely, with a happy face, "Regiment leader, the order must have come down, and we are going to the front line again!" ”

Li Siwei was stunned, stopped, and turned his head to look at him, "You turtles like to fight so much?" ”

Miao Zhenghui hurriedly shook his head, "I don't like to fight either, but the brothers of the other troops are all working hard in the front, and we are just nesting in the back, I ...... I was very panicked, and I always felt ...... Feel sorry for those bros! ”

"Alas," Li Siwei sighed lightly and patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, they are all soldiers, and if you want to work hard, you should go together!" ”

He understood what Miao Zhenhua meant, those brothers were not only those brothers who were working the front line, but also those brothers who died on the battlefield.

"Well," Miao Zhenhua nodded hurriedly, with a serious look on his face, "Just go together, even if you die, you can die with peace of mind!" ”

Li Siwei smiled slightly, "Turtle's, well said!" ”

At this moment, Li Siwei was also relieved...... Ask for peace of mind!

Li Siwei hurried to the brigade headquarters, but the order surprised him: the new 16th Brigade was temporarily under the direct command of the Second Group Army.
