Bai Fei suddenly had an indescribable feeling, he frowned and said: "The fighter plane is fleeting, and it needs to be grasped on the spot, and I can't say anything without a field investigation." ”

"Good!" Luo Zhuoying said: "In this case, without further ado, tomorrow you will lead your subordinates to Wucheng to observe and look for fighters near the enemy, I will grant you the right to make decisions on the spot in the name of the former enemy's commander-in-chief, if there is a suitable opportunity, you can act directly." In addition, it is Yang Sen's 27th Group Army stationed in the area of De'an Wucheng, he is also your old acquaintance, and it is convenient for you to cooperate after you go! ”

Things developed too quickly, Bai Fei saw that he was a dignified commander of the military police in the theater, and he had only been in Nanchang for a few hours, and his butt was not hot, so he was rushed to the front line to fight by Luo Zhuoying in a few words, and it was inevitable that there was something wrong in his heart.

It is said that as early as the Battle of Songhu, Bai Fei took a group of brothers from North China to Shanghai to participate in the war, when they were assigned to the 66th Regiment of the 11th Division, Luo Zhuoying served as the commander of the 18th Army at that time, and he was Bai Fei's superior commander. Now more than a year has passed, the two have developed after several major wars, Bai Fei has been promoted to the commander of the military police of the Ninth Theater, not to mention Luo Zhuoying, who has also been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, and concurrently serves as the commander of the former enemy in the Ninth Theater, with full command of the defense of Nanchang.

Therefore, the two have known each other for a long time, although Bai Fei does not know Luo Zhuoying deeply, but he is by no means a fool, he saw Luo Zhuoying looking impatient, so he said with a smile: "Commander Luo, why do I feel like I have been deceived?" ”

Luo Zhuoying's face turned red rarely, and he said embarrassedly: "Zhenyu, don't blame me for playing tricks, it's really that the Japanese army's progress is too fast now, and I have nothing to do now." Besides, as the commander of the gendarmerie now, your main duty is to supervise the war, and I have no right to send you directly to the front line to fight, so everything needs your consent. ”

He sighed and said: "To be honest, this time the defense of Nanchang, if Zhenyu does not come to help, whether it can stop the Japanese army, I am not even sure of Sancheng... Although we have mobilized 300,000 troops, the actual number of troops available on the front line is less than 170,000, and the length of the defense line to be defended by these 170,000 soldiers is nearly 100 kilometers on the west bank of Poyang Lake alone. In addition, on the east bank of Poyang Lake, in addition to the four divisions of Gu Zhutong of the Third Theater, there are also two reserve divisions of the Ninth Theater to increase the defense. ”

"What about Poyang Lake?" After Bai Fei listened, he frowned and asked.

Luo Zhuoying had a headache: "This is one of the problems I am most worried about. Poyang Lake is deep and wide, with a length and width of tens of kilometers, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, which is very conducive to the entry and exit of Japanese warships, however, we have no good means of defense against this, and the only ships are all fishermen's wooden boats, which are not at all useful. In addition, the roads along the Poyang Lake are tortuous, and there are many landing sites, if the Japanese ships are allowed to cross the passes of Poyang Lake such as Wucheng, the Japanese army will definitely be in a no-man's land, and even go south along the Poyang Lake, bypassing the layers of defense lines we have set up on the river bank, and will directly reach Nanchang City along the dense waterways of the Ganjiang River. ”

Bai Fei was shocked after hearing this. It is no wonder that the defense plan of Nanchang in history was arranged for several months, so many manpower and material resources were used, and in the face of less than half of the Japanese army, Nanchang was lost after only a few days after the start of the battle. At this time, it seems that in addition to the poor firepower and low combat effectiveness of the defenders, and the overly rigid defensive command, the dense waterway connecting the Poyang Lake in all directions to Nanchang City led to the Japanese army to outflank and destroy the defense of the Chinese defenders, which was also the main factor in the defeat.

Thinking of this, Bai Fei nodded and said, "Chief Luo doesn't have to be embarrassed, facing the front line of the Anti-Japanese War is exactly what my generation should do, and I don't dare to ask for it if I want to." Don't worry, I will go to the area around Wucheng early tomorrow morning to look for fighters and find a way to stop the Japanese navy from moving south. ”

"That would be great!" Luo Zhuoying was very happy when he saw Bai Fei agree, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will inform Yang Sen and Lu Han and others near Wucheng to assist you!" Zhenyu's gendarmerie regiment has always been known for its ability to fight tough battles, and I hope that this time it will be able to win and block the pace of the Japanese army's advance on the water! ”

Bai Fei nodded, but he was a little uncertain in his heart.

That night, Bai Fei returned to the barracks, immediately called the main officers of his subordinates for a meeting, and then briefly explained the matter, and everyone was surprised after hearing it.

Wu Dazhong, the commander of the artillery battalion, was straightforward and opened his mouth to say: "Tuanzao, we just got off the train at night, why are we going to the front line so soon?" This Commander Luo is too good at calling people..."

"Well, you can't say that." Wang Weiguo, the deputy commander of the regiment, interrupted him and reassured: "When the national crisis is at hand, we soldiers should be ready to go to the battlefield at any time." Don't complain first, let's listen to the group. ”

Bai Fei explained in detail the problems faced by the defenders of Nanchang, and then said: "Now the situation is very urgent, although the national army has mobilized a lot of troops to defend Nanchang, the defense area is too vast and the battle line is too long. The most important thing is the waterway, Nanchang City is adjacent to Poyang Lake, and the Japanese army with the advantage of warships, and in Poyang Lake as freely, the defenders have no decent means of resistance, if left unchecked, once the war starts, the Japanese army is likely to reach Nanchang City along the lake, then Nanchang will fall is only a matter of time. ”

Everyone was taken aback and frowned.

Xu Changsheng, the commander of the 3rd battalion, said: "Tuanzao, isn't it that Commander Luo wants to hand over the surface defense task of Poyang Lake to us?" ”

Bai Fei nodded and sighed: "Luo Zhuoying is also in a hurry. Now that the defenders of Nanchang have no ships and no mines, if other troops want to resist the attack of Japanese ships on the water and from the front, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, if I don't take over this tricky task, I'm afraid no one else will dare to take over..."

There was silence again. After a while, Li Hu, the leader of the special operations team, said: "In that case, you can say it, and we will do what you say!" ”

Bai Fei scolded with a smile: "You don't have to worry!" I know this task is not easy to accomplish. The purpose of convening everyone's meeting tonight is also to hope that everyone can work together to come up with more ideas, let's talk about it, and see if there is any surprising way to win..."

Wu Cannon was the first to speak: "Last time we did a good job of ambushing the Japanese fleet on the water near Tongling on the Yangtze River, we can use artillery to concentrate fire on the attack, and we can completely attack him again." ”

Xu Changsheng said: "That's different, the water surface of the Yangtze River is long and narrow, but the water surface of Poyang Lake is very wide, I'm afraid it won't achieve that kind of attack effect." I think the safest way is to send people to attack and harass, attract warships to the shore, and then concentrate on rocket launchers, this thing is also a sharp weapon to attack ships..."

Li Hu also said: "Our special combat team can give full play to the advantages of special warfare, and can make up sneak attacks, which is guaranteed to have miraculous effects..."

“……”

“……”

Everyone talked about the tactics of the enemy, the atmosphere slowly became warm, after discussing for a long time, Bai Fei saw that everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized, so he stood up and said: "Very good, everyone's method can be tried, but first we have to be immersive in order to formulate a detailed strategy against the enemy, tonight is over, everyone rest early, and go to Wucheng early tomorrow morning!" ”

Immediately, the people stood up and said, "Yes!" ”
