At the foot of the Yaque Mountain, the noisy troops are neighing, the tired soldiers are changing guards, and the brothers who arrived at the bottom of the mountain hurriedly filled the mouth with multigrain cakes, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the field dry food of the Central Army no longer has meat, and the multigrain cakes can be guaranteed every day It is very good, we all know that the war is imminent, whether we can survive or not, first while we are still alive, fill our stomachs, at least we can be a full ghost.

The field division headquarters of the Third Division was set up in a temporary tent, there were candles lit inside, there were no tables and chairs, Zhao Xitian squatted on the ground and looked at the map, a candle was held in his left hand, the trembling candle slowly oozed its tears, dripping on Zhao Xitian's left hand, and Zhao Xitian, who was in deep thought, could not feel the candle liquid burning at all......

"Divisional commander! The commanders of the regiments have arrived. Chief of Staff Zhu Xilin came in and said,

"Let them all come in." Zhao Xitian said without looking back,

"Don't even stand, crouch down and look at the map. Now for the tasks of the regiments. Zhao Xitian's eyes have never left the map,

"The 16th Regiment has just carried out a brutal battle, and there have been a lot of losses in personnel and equipment, and now there is no way to replenish it, He Jianye, can your 16th Regiment continue to attack?" Zhao Xitian asked,

"Division commander, I plan to transfer back the broken troops from the city wall mountain to replenish the personnel attrition, but there are not many bullets and grenades, if the division headquarters can replenish it, the sixteenth regiment can perform any task!" He Jianye assured,

"Well, Chief of Staff, replenish them with bullets and grenades from the baggage of the baggage battalion at the division headquarters; The task of the 16th Regiment was to hold the line of Phoenix Mountain and Xianglu Mountain and cover the rear security for the 3rd Division. I heard that you have just captured a lot of Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery, how many shells are there? Zhao Xitian asked while arranging the task,

"Division commander, there are less than 50 shells each; And the number of pack horses is insufficient, and movement is very problematic. However, we have captured some of the Japanese special ammunition, and I guess we can give the Japanese a good look. He Jianye said,

"What special bombs? Gas bombs? Zhao Xitian raised his head and asked,

He Jianye nodded and said: "There are about more than 100 rounds, I guess the devils used them to fight the crows of the mountain, I heard that the friendly troops of the crows of the mountain said that they were tossed by the devils' poison gas bombs in the afternoon, and the fortifications from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside were all captured by the devils with this." ”

"Well, I know, send your three battalions up, let your deputy regiment commander deploy on the front line of Phoenix Mountain and Xianglu Mountain, you take the artillery battalion to attack with us, our artillery is too small, and it will be much easier for the brothers to have close support from artillery when attacking." Zhao Xitian said,

"Yes, Commander!" He Jianye responded,

"The 13th Regiment is fortified on Xianglu Mountain, ready to support the friendly positions of Yaque Mountain at any time, to prevent the Japanese from cutting off our rear road, the 15th Regiment, the 18th Regiment, the 16th Regiment Artillery Battalion, and all the troops of the division headquarters except the engineer battalion are pressed together to the front line of Puquan Mountain, and it will be perfect to drive the devils down Panyang Lake, so that we still have to fight in Jiujiang. Otherwise, the Potian detachment and the 106th Division attacked Jiujiang from east to west, and the Japanese troops on the Yangtze River were ready to land in the north at any time, and the pressure was too great. Go ahead and prepare! There are 10 minutes left until the departure time. After Zhao Xitian finished speaking, he blew out the candle in his hand and strode out of the tent......

"There is no radio in the 3rd Battalion, and it is about five kilometers from here to the Walled Mountains, so you send men to ride horses and walk the main road, and inform the 3rd Battalion and all the brothers to arrive in the vicinity of the Jay Bird Mountain tomorrow morning. Do you understand? He Jianye said to Yang Xiaoshi,

"Okay, Commander, I'll go myself!" After Yang Xiaoshi finished speaking, he rode a pack horse and ran towards the city wall mountain......

The large army set off ten minutes later, He Jianye took the guard company and the artillery battalion on the road, after explaining the task to Leng Qi at Phoenix Mountain, at 7 o'clock in the morning, the sky was just dawning, more than 10,000 people of the third division arrived in the Quanshuilong area, less than two kilometers away from the position of the 128th Division, Zhao Xitian ordered the troops to rest on the spot for half an hour, ready to cross the village area in front after breakfast, to support the 128th Division......

As soon as the sky was shining, the brothers of the third division sat on the grass, drinking cold water in the kettle, eating multigrain cakes, many brothers fell asleep directly on the ground, and had been marching continuously for nearly 20 hours......

"Commander, don't you let the brothers rest here for two hours before going to the front, it's too tiring, I can't stand it!" The head of the fifteenth regiment, Pan Qian, pleaded,

"It depends on the situation!" Zhao Xitian said,

"Chief of Staff, have the people from the divisional reconnaissance battalion returned? What's going on? Zhao Xitian asked,

The roaring motor sound of the "buzzing ......" came into the ears of the officers and men of the Third Division, and when they looked up, a few small black dots appeared in the sky that had just been brightened, most of them headed towards the Jiujiang urban area, and the altitude of several planes slowly decreased, and the huge plaster flag on the fuselage gradually appeared, as you know, the position of the 128th Division may be mysterious......

"Hide in place, don't shoot, don't run around!" The officers restrained the somewhat nervous soldiers......

"Boom, boom, boom......" A huge explosion came from the front, and the third senior brothers who were resting in the Quanshuilong area could clearly feel the tremor of the earth......

The bombing lasted for about ten minutes, and after dropping the bombs, the devil's plane did not drop altitude and use machine guns to strafe the position, after all, the Soviet air force to aid China is still stationed in Nanchang, and it will soon be able to support here, and if there is no machine gun bullet planes to join forces with the Chinese air force, it is a lamb to the slaughter......

The soldiers of the 3rd Division continued to eat dry food and rest, there was no situation ahead, and Zhao Xitian also wanted the brothers to rest more......

"Division commander, it's not good......" In the distance, a soldier from the reconnaissance battalion of the division headquarters ran over,

"What's the matter? Don't panic! Zhao Xitian asked,

"After the position of the 128th Division was bombed by devils, the Japanese 106th Division launched an attack under the cover of artillery and naval artillery, and the 128th Division collapsed, and now the rout is retreating to us, with about a large group of Japanese infantry behind it, and a large group of Japanese cavalry in a frantic pursuit." The scout said breathlessly,

"How far is it from here?" Zhao Xitian said,

"It's less than a kilometer." The Scout said,

"Pan Qian, build a defensive line on the spot to block this gang of routs and Japanese devils; He Jianye, immediately build an artillery position in the village, prepare artillery support, the first wave of attack must beat the Japanese devil's pursuers! Zhao Xitian roared,

"Yes, Commander!" Pan Zhi began to call on the brothers of the 15th Regiment to build a defensive line around several villages in Quanshuilong......

In less than ten minutes, Pan Zhen had just built several machine-gun positions and was directing his brothers to urgently build field trenches, when the rout of the 128th Division could already be seen fleeing in front, and the Japanese cavalry and infantry pursuing behind were frantically slashing and killing the officers and soldiers of the fleeing 128th Division......

The 128th Division was originally adapted from the bandits in Xiangxi, and they were killed in a hurry, and these fierce soldiers didn't care about the formation, and they started to work with the devils on the spot, but those who had the courage not to die were almost dead on the position, and the remaining brave soldiers couldn't stop the sabers in the hands of the devil's cavalry, and under the strong power of the horses, they were slashed by the devil's cavalry......
