The first line of Zuanlin Mountain, Fenghuangzui and Nanchang Pu in the area of Jinguanqiao is located at the southern foot of Lushan Mountain, these are mountainous areas, with many trees and deep grass similar to a labyrinth, and the mountains are rugged; However, fortunately, the 3rd Division did not have any heavy weapons, and the problem of marching was still easy to solve. After the loss of Jiujiang, the Nanxun Line was commanded by Xue Yue, and the Eighth Army was assigned to Xue Yue's personal command.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of July 27, the 16th Regiment assembled at Fenghuangzui, looking at the few houses in the mountainous area, the residents had already gone out to escape the disaster of war, and once the fortifications were set up in this place, it was estimated that there would be no debris left under the Japanese artillery fire; He Jianye directly ordered the 2nd Battalion to build a defensive position at Fenghuangzui, the 1st Battalion and the Artillery Battalion were in Zhuanlin Mountain, and the 3rd Battalion was the reserve of the whole regiment and was on standby in the rear.

"Leng Qi, you take the second battalion to build a position here in person, and the engineer company is assigned to you; We may face the continuous bombardment of Japanese heavy artillery and aircraft, and we must be mentally prepared to build semi-underground bunkers. As long as the things of the dwellings can be used to reinforce the bunkers, all the things in the houses will be demolished. The better the fortifications, the better the chances of the brothers surviving. He Jianye ordered,

"Yes, Commander, don't worry. I'm watching for myself! Leng Qi nodded and said,

"The engineer company set up a temporary regimental headquarters in Fenghuang Tsui, the communications squad immediately set up a radio station, and the telephone lines of each battalion must be laid immediately; The cooking class immediately opened the pot and cooked, and the brothers had to be served hot this afternoon. Let's get moving! He Jianye waved his hand,

"Okay, the first battalion and the artillery battalion will follow me to the next 800 meters away from the Drill Forest Mountain." He Jianye took a battalion and an artillery battalion to Zuanlin Mountain,

"Huang Wujun, your artillery battalion should dig a complete underground bunker for yourself first! That's it, the southwest direction of Drill Forest Mountain, it is estimated that this place should be safer, at this time the artillery should not think of coming out, don't want to talk in front of the heavy artillery and planes of the Japanese army, besides, we don't have many shells, just prepare to support with mortars! Zhu Yunhua, dig a bunker around the Drill Forest Mountain! Try to make use of natural caves and rocks, it doesn't matter if you don't connect them, as long as you stick to the main key point. Do you understand? He Jianye said,

"Yes, Captain." After receiving the order, the two battalion commanders directed the brothers to dig with their heads bored......

Since the Songhu Incident, the brothers who have been bombarded by the Japanese heavy artillery and aircraft on the battlefield have long known the importance of fortifications for themselves, and on the basis of the commander's explanation, each infantry platoon with veterans will be reinforced separately, which is the method of holding simple equipment against Japanese aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery.

The 3rd Division was preparing to face the attack of the Japanese 106th Division in a tense position, and the 4th Army, the 64th Army, and the 70th Army in the vicinity of Jinguanqiao and Lion Rock were not idle, and were busy in various dangerous positions on the Nanxun Line.

Of course, it is impossible for the 16th Regiment to be buried in the excavation without eating, after basically digging the front-line trenches and anti-artillery holes, the hot meal of the cooking class came up, He Jianye naturally did not have to run to eat by himself, Zeng Da took two guards to serve two hot multigrain cakes (still multigrain cakes, but this time it was hot. A box of wild vegetable soup was placed in front of He Jianye, and He Jianye, who had not eaten hot food for a few days in Jiujiang, was not picky at this time, drinking wild vegetable soup with only salt flavor, and nibbling on hot multigrain cakes felt extremely full......

After dinner, the underground bunker of the temporary regimental headquarters had not yet been dug up, but the telephone line and radio station had already been set up in the forest, and a simple field wooden shed was erected, which became the regimental headquarters of the 16th regiment.

"Didi, Didi, Di......" The sound of the radio station kept ringing, and the telegraph operator was busy recording something;

"Regiment commander, the division headquarters asked us to go to Shahe Town to replenish military supplies." The telegraph operator took the telegram and reported,

"Yo! And this good thing? Show me? He Jianye took the telegram and looked at the contents, it was indeed a telegram sent by the division headquarters to get the supplies by himself, thinking that there was nothing to do left and right anyway, he shouted directly out of the door,

"Zeng Da, tell Xie Yong and Li Zhenlin to gather troops; Follow me to the Sand River! ”

"Ahh The baggage company and the transportation company are all gone! Deputy Regiment Commander Leng just said that let these two companies help dig positions at night? Zeng Da said,

"You let people tell Leng Qi that I'll take them to get their equipment! Positions must be dug overnight. "He Jianye knows how tight the military supplies are now, it's too late to go, and I don't have enough people, I'm afraid that when you go again next time, it won't be so easy to get it, especially machine guns and ammunition;

He Jianye took a platoon of the baggage company, the transport company and the guard company, and carried a large number of wheelbarrows (no way, the wheelbarrows were used in the mountainous areas to transfer ammunition), and advanced to Shahe overnight, but fortunately, Shahe was not far from here, and after arriving at Shahe, He Jianye found that the ammunition and equipment of the 13th, 15th and 18th regiments had begun to be loaded, and they were being transferred from Shahe to their respective defense lines, looking at a large number of light and heavy machine guns, boxes of rifles and ammunition piled up on the vehicles, He Jianye felt that he should be able to replenish a lot of equipment this time.

The ammunition and reserves from De'an's train were unloaded on a lawn next to the Shahe Railway, and the lawn where much of the equipment had been removed appeared to be empty.

"Staff Officer Hu, I am He Jianye of the 16th Regiment, and I was ordered to come to replenish ammunition; I think there are a lot of other group things! Where is our group? He Jianye asked the logistics staff,

"Commander He, don't worry, no one dares to take you; It's all here, you can count and move away! Staff Officer Hu held a flashlight in his hand, handed He Jianye a list, pointed to the things on the lawn and said,

"400,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 600,000 rounds of ammunition for Czech light machine guns, 600,000 rounds of ammunition for Min-24 heavy machine guns, 20,000 rounds of box gun bullets, one ton of explosives, and 10,000 grenades. Field rations ......" He Jianye carefully read the list, in addition to all kinds of ammunition, it was miscellaneous grains, and he didn't see the supplement of firearms, so he was a little anxious, and said to Staff Officer Hu,

"Brother, is there a problem! Why don't you have firearms! ”

"That's what the division commander explained, the phone is next to you, you ask the division commander yourself, I didn't take a gun from you." Staff Officer Hu pointed to the phone on the stone next to him and said,

He Jianye looked at Staff Officer Hu as if he didn't eat oil and salt, and he didn't fight with him, he walked directly to the phone, and shook his ......

"I'm He Jianye, I'm looking for the teacher." He Jianye shouted directly on the phone,

"Captain He, you wait." The voice of the division headquarters communication soldier came from the phone, and after a few minutes, Zhao Xitian's voice came from the phone,

"He Jianye, what's wrong? Why don't you get your equipment well, why are you looking for me? ”

"Commander, don't take such a bully! The other main regiments are all medium-formal, Czech-style, and Min-24 types, and I won't talk about mortars! I've watched them take it away, so how come I have some bullets and explosives left? You can't be so partial! He Jianye said directly,

"Oh! This is a thing! I approved it, but He Jianye, don't worry, now we are under great logistical pressure, and you also know that the situation of insufficient weapons and ammunition reserves is also known, and their regiments lost too many firearms in Yaque Mountain some time ago, so they can't replenish it! Don't let the brothers do it with the devil with bayonets! The situation of your regiment should be better, these things are not too short, so give priority to replenishing them, they are all used to fight devils, and next time the supply arrives, I will give priority to you. Can it not? As soon as Zhao Xitian heard He Jianye's tone, he knew that He Jianye was dissatisfied with not giving him a supplementary firearm, but Zhao Xitian himself had a headache! There is only so much for the whole replenishment of the theater, and it can be sent out except for the necessary reserves of the division headquarters, and it cannot be changed by itself.
