Zhou Zhirou looked bitter, and scolded in his heart: "It's not all you, relying on the 331 base's sufficient ammunition, you are addicted to bombing, where to call the air force for support, just give an order, it's not okay not to go, now the fuel consumption is empty, and the responsibility is all on me, there is no reason." ”

Of course, Zhou Zhirou only dared to scold in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a mistake in his mouth.

Of course, the chairman of the committee also understands that he is not responsible for this matter, but he is not happy in his heart and wants to find someone to vent. It seems that the amount of 1,000 tons of fuel is a lot, but millions of troops are fighting, cars, planes, and tanks do not use fuel, and they are not the same as running water, and the domestic fuel is already tight, and this inventory is still taking advantage of the Burma campaign to enter a state of armistice, the 14th Air Force transported it from the Hump route, although the Hump route is still nervously transporting fuel materials to the country, but it cannot meet the needs of the battlefield at all.

Seeing that the Japanese navy's carrier-based planes had withdrawn from the battlefield and air supremacy was within reach, who knew that the fuel had run out again, and the air supremacy would fall into a situation of equal distribution, or even worse than before, but even if there was no air force, the battle would still have to be fought, and the chairman of the committee immediately ordered the staff officers to send electricity to the fronts, and in the short term, there would be no need to count on the support of the air force, and they could only rely on their true skills.

Zhou Zhirou came up with an idea at this time, he thought that the 40th Group Army must still have a certain amount of fuel stocks, if it can be evenly distributed, maybe it will not be a problem to hold on for a few more days, as long as there is a few days of transition, and then focus on transporting fuel on the Hump route, at least there is no problem in holding on to the front troops to take Wuhan.

The chairman glanced at him, and said without any expression on his face: "Okay, I'll give you this task, and you can ask him for it?" ”

After the chairman finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, Zhou Zhirou suddenly stood in place, messy, he, the commander of the air force, was not a fart in Jiang Haoran's eyes, last time because he asked for dozens of planes that he snatched back from Jiujiang Airport, Jiang Haoran had long been eager to eat him, and he would be hell if he could give him fuel.

But he didn't dare to disobey the chairman's order, so he sent a telegram to Jiang Haoran as the commander of the Air Force, but the reply he waited for was only three words: die!

In the evening of the next day, on the west bank of Liangzi Lake in the suburbs of Wuhan.

Yu Jishi, commander of the 19th Group Army, had his sleeves high and his face was full of smoke and dust, but he couldn't hide his high-spiritedness, and pointed forward with a horsewhip in his hand, and said, "Chief of Staff, do you see that piece of light?" That is the boundary of Wuchang, as long as we pass the lake area in front of us, we will enter Wuhan. ”

Chief of Staff Xu Rangxuan said with a smile: "It's also a shame that we fought so hard, even the commander-in-chief picked up his machine gun and went to the battlefield, if we can't take Wuhan again, God won't allow it." ”

"Hahaha!"

The two of them suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, not far away, countless soldiers put long pennies on the ground, and were nervously weaving bamboo rows, many bamboo rows had been launched, and the soldiers were testing the sturdiness of the bamboo rows.

Looking at the densely busy soldiers by the lake, Yu Jishi was touched by a lot of feelings, and said: "Chief of Staff, how do you say this Jiang Haoran's head is long, he said that where the enemy's defense line is arranged, where is his dog's day, he said that the enemy will have how many troops to block him, this is still dozens of miles away, he asked our soldiers to each bring a bamboo pole, walk to the lake and take a look, hehe, not to mention the boats, even the door panel of the people's houses can't find a piece, if you go back to the mountain to cut wood and build ships, there will be no drama tonight, During the day, there is a plane of the little devil in the sky, we can't move, and we have to wait until the evening, this day's time is a waste, but he is this guy, tomorrow we should go into the street fight with the devil. ”

"Yes, the Japanese army probably never dreamed that we would have a boat crossing the lake tonight, and there must not be many troops to guard against, and suddenly a guy goes around behind them, and the entire defense line will collapse immediately, and the enemy will be broken tonight." Xu Rangxuan said with a smile.

"Chief of Staff, Jiang Haoran has to remember this, if his two divisions come in all the way from Yangxin, what will happen to me and Yang Sen to take the lead in Wuhan? But he was stunned to give us this low-hanging fruit, and his love was higher than the sky! ”

"Yes, Jiang Haoran is indeed a brother enough, although we helped him at the 331 base, but he sent a gun and a cannon to repay our love, I didn't expect that he would give us a great credit today."

Just when the two of them sighed and sighed, a major general came quickly, stood up and saluted in front of the two, and said in a loud voice: "Report to the chief of staff, the 57th Division of the first echelon of the lake-crossing unit is ready for battle, please instruct." ”

Yu Jishi raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said fiercely: "Okay, the time agreed with Yang Sen is just right, Master Shi, don't be polite to Lao Tzu, give Lao Tzu a hard time." ”

"Yes, Chief!"

The commander of the 57th Division, Shi Zhongzhong, suddenly agreed, and then turned around and howled: "Go!" ”

With Shi Zhongzhong's order, the dense bamboo rafts in the water went to the center of the lake like arrows off the string, and countless soldiers on the shore carried the bamboo rafts directly into the water, splashing a splash.

"Order, the second echelon of the 58th Division is ready to cross the lake. The 51st Division was ordered to immediately launch a fierce attack on the Japanese defense line in the middle of Liangzi Lake and Luhu Lake to cover the troops crossing the lake. Yu Jishi howled again, this time he had made a lot of money, and all the troops on the front line were the elite troops of his 74th Army.

Ten minutes later, a few miles to the north, there was a sudden rumbling of cannons and fire, and half of the sky burned red, followed by the sound of gunfire like fried beans. On the water surface of Liangzi Lake, thousands of bamboo rafts are like crucian carp crossing the river, swarming forward.

Almost at the same time that Yu Jishi issued the order, in the area between Luhu Lake and the Yangtze River, Yang Sen, commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army, was also issuing orders.

"Order, the 134th Division and the 135th Division immediately crossed the lake by bamboo row, and the 134th Division immediately advanced in the direction of Liangzi Lake after crossing the lake, and cooperated with the 19th Group Army to directly copy the old bottom of the Japanese army on the middle road, and the 135th Division immediately advanced to the Yangtze River after crossing the lake, and directly copied the old bottom of the Japanese army on the North Road. The 136th Division was ordered to attack the enemy from the front, stick to the enemy to the death, and cover the troops across the lake. ”

"Yes!"

The generals suddenly agreed, and then disappeared in the dim moonlight, just after the cannon sound of the 19th Group Army in the middle of the road, the main position of the 27th Group Army was also a rumbling of artillery, and the Lu Lake was also full of bamboo rows, about a dozen or twenty soldiers on each bamboo platoon, set up machine guns and held rifles to wait, the soldiers supporting the platoon held up the penny, the bamboo platoon was like an arrow from the string forward, the front disappeared in the dim moonlight, and the back continued to push forward, the scene was magnificent.
