Chapter 227: Battle of Nanchang (9)

Wucheng is located in a long and narrow place, the traffic is complicated, the narrowest part is only a few kilometers wide, there are several waterways intertwined during the period, the only more prominent place is the Jishan and Jiniu Mountain that go deep into Poyang Lake, Wu Zunguang also concentrated most of the troops of his 721 regiment here, and in the dangerous place of the tidal flat, laid many mines, the purpose is to prevent the Japanese army from using ships to land, and the remaining small part of the troops are arranged to defend on the south bank of the first line of repairing water, on the whole, it is also decent.

While Bai Fei and the others were exploring the terrain, they listened to Wu Zunguang's introduction to the defense situation. When I arrived at the area of Jishan Village, I saw an enclave lying on Poyang Lake at a distance of 100 meters in the eastern waters, so I asked, "Commander Zhang, what is the place over there?" Was there ever a garrison on it? ”

Zhang Zunguang hurriedly introduced: "This island is called Songmen Island, named after a hill called Songmen Mountain, which is also the narrowest place in the entire Poyang Lake, only three or four kilometers away from the ground of Duchang County on the other side. The terrain here is dangerous, I also planned to send troops to the island to station, but although the area of Songmen Island is not small, it is a long and narrow place, although it is seven or eight kilometers long, but the width is only more than a kilometer, earlier there were many villages and residents on it, since the devils occupied Duchang, they set up cannons on the east bank of Poyang Lake from time to time, covering us and shooting, the people on the island are running to death, and now it has become an empty island. And because we lacked heavy weapons, we could not effectively suppress the Japanese artillery on the opposite shore, so we could not garrison troops on the island. ”

At this moment, as if verifying Zhang Zunguang's words, a series of shells suddenly whistled in the air, and then most of the shells fell on Songmen Island, and there were bursts of explosions on the island, and gunpowder smoke billowed out. A few even fell less than two hundred meters in front of Bai Fei and the others, and the startled Yang Sen and the others hurriedly dodged.

Song Kentang hurriedly said: "Brother Zhenyu, it is dangerous here and it is not suitable to stay for a long time, I think it is better to go back." ”

This danger was of course nothing to Bai Fei, not only did he not dodge, but he even exchanged glances with Wang Weiguo beside him, and he could even see joy in each other's eyes. This enclave is simply wonderful, so close to the opposite shore and with a moderate width of the water, it is an excellent natural defence. Previously, he and Wang Weiguo had been worried about how to defend themselves against Japanese ships, but now that they had this island, the problems that plagued them were solved. As for the problems Zhang Zunguang said, it was not a problem at all for Bai Fei's military police regiment, and he was trying to him.

However, Bai Fei saw that Yang Sen, Song Kentang and the others had some color changes on their faces, and thought that if they didn't leave, they wouldn't be able to leave by themselves, so he said, "Okay, I'll explain a few words later." ”

As he spoke, he called Wu Dazhong, the commander of the artillery battalion, to him and ordered: "Immediately let someone take relevant measurements and find out where the Japanese artillery positions on the other side are." ”

"Yes!" Wu Dazhong comprehended and immediately ran to order his subordinates to work.

Bai Fei called Li Hu again and said to him: "You will take a few brothers later, wait for the Japanese artillery fire to stop, find a way to touch the island to investigate, and then come back to report." ”

After giving the order, Bai Fei and Yang Sen, Song Kentang and others returned to Wucheng Town.

After returning to Wucheng, Song Kentang received a phone call and took his leave and returned to Yongxiu to deal with official business. Yang Sen naturally wanted to go back, but before leaving, Yang Sen was a little grinding, as if there was something embarrassing.

Bai Fei knew that this product was a master who could not afford to be unprofitable, and today he walked with him for most of the mountain road for the first time, and he said little along the way. So he deliberately said: "Brother Zihui (Yang Senzi), thank you for accompanying me for most of the day today, since I am busy with official business, I won't send you, let's see you back." ”

Yang Sen was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhenyu, this... Brother, I have something I want to ask you for help..."

Bai Fei saw Yang Sen's fox tail exposed, so he said, "Okay, you say, if I can do it, I will definitely help." ”

Yang Sen said: "Brother, I have fought with you, and I know that the artillery fire of your subordinate artillery battalion is powerful, no, now I am ordered to defend Yongxiu Chongdi, and I have a heavy responsibility, and my 27th Army and 32nd Army lack artillery fire, and I am really powerless in the face of the Japanese heavy artillery attack, just a few days ago, I was shelled by the Japanese army and lost hundreds of people." So... This one... I don't know if my brother can transfer one or twenty guns from your artillery battalion to help my brother deal with the emergency, don't worry, I will definitely arrange them in the rear, only provide long-range fire support, and never let them be damaged in the slightest..."

Although Song Kentang stood not far away and did not speak, his eyes were bright, and his ears were pricked up, obviously listening carefully to the conversation between the two, it seemed that he was also well aware of the combat power of Bai Fei's subordinates.

"No way!" Bai Fei secretly scolded you Yang Eighteen in his heart, Lao Tzu helped you get so many tanks is not enough, you actually hit my artillery battalion with the idea. Besides, Lao Tzu still can't wipe his butt of shit clean, transfer the manpower to you, can I still guard Wucheng?

As for why Yang Sen is called Yang Eighteen, it is because this wife and concubine have many children, all of whom are more than eighteen, and the age of the women he married is eighteen or nineteen, never more than 20, and after this goods ran to Taiwan, at the age of ninety, he still let a girl who was about 18 years old and serve his life successfully pregnant, which was so awesome that it flew up.

Yang Sen and Song Kentang didn't expect that Bai Fei would refuse. Especially Song Kentang, who was quite full of expectations for Yang Sen's proposal before, because Yang Sen is now a general, and if he only talks about his military rank, he is completely Bai Fei's superior. Moreover, Yang Sen has a strong foundation and has been a warlord in Sichuan for decades, even Chiang Kai-shek will give him a little thin face in person, not to mention that Yang Sen can now be regarded as begging him in a low voice.

Who would have thought that Bai Fei would not give Yang Sen any face at all, Song Kentang saw that the talks between the two sides had collapsed, for fear that Yang Sen would be annoyed and angry and do something excessive, so he sweated for Bai Fei in his heart, and was thinking about how to go up to dissuade him, but he heard Yang Sen say in a low voice with a bitter face: "My good brother, my brother has also lived and died with you, how can you see death and not save it?" My Sichuan army brothers are bitter, not to mention the lack of food and clothing, and now there is still a shortage of guns and ammunition, and the Japanese can only rely on big blades and flesh and blood, bitter..."

As he spoke, this thing even pretended to squeeze out a few crocodile tears.

Bai Fei couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Didn't you still have a lot of artillery before?" Besides, with the addition of those tanks, the scale is already not small. ”

Yang Sen said: "That top fart, my cannons, not to mention the small caliber, since the last battle, the shells have almost hit, the central government said that it was to be supplemented, but for so long, only two bases of ammunition have been given, how useful can you say this ammunition can be?" Speaking of tanks, although I have a lot of them in my hands now, they were all captured from the Japanese, and there is nowhere to replenish the shells, and if you shoot one shot, there will be one less, what will you let me do? Mom sells batches, my Yang second child is really miserable! ”
