"Report! The special brigade of the Dugu Division only successfully crossed the river. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info predetermined position within 40 minutes. ”

"Report: The Special Brigade of the 16th Division has joined the brothers of the 44th Division, and will report for duty within 30 minutes."

"Commander, Team No. 3 urgently reported: More than 3,000 people from the 6th Squadron of the Japanese Navy boarded 6 Yangshupu fifteen minutes ago. Six tanks in the Japanese army repair yard on the riverside have been repaired. It is heading north at five-minute intervals. ”

An Yi glanced at the new watch on his wrist and nodded slightly. This watch was bought again by Gong Qian after learning that An Yi's watch was confiscated by the Red Army, and the style was exactly the same as the original one. Hu Jialin briefly discussed a few words with Yin Jinan and Gu Changfeng beside him, and quickly wrote down a line of words and handed it to Ye Cheng. After reading it, Ye Cheng felt that it was feasible, thought about it and didn't feel at ease, and walked in front of An Yi in a few steps. Hand the note to An Yi.

"Unanimous?"

An Yi quickly finished reading it, put down the note, glanced around, and saw that everyone nodded, so he turned to Yin Jinan: "Jinan, you come to call Uncle Dao and ask for at least five thousand mines for us at one time." Add another 2,060 incendiary bombs, do you think that's enough? ”

"It's enough for the time being, but we must urge the Jiangnan plant to produce as soon as possible. In particular, mines and grenades. The more the merrier. If our judgment is good, there will be fierce street battles on the front line of Zhabei and Baoshan, Baoshan is no problem with our defense area, Zhabei is the defense area of the brothers of the 19th Route Army, I am afraid they do not have much experience in street fighting, especially against the Japanese tanks, I am afraid that they will not even be able to do incendiary bombs, if you can, let the bearded special brigade send a group of instructors over. Yin Jinan replied carefully and put forward his opinions.

Hu Jialin looked over when he saw An Yi's gaze, waved his hand, and smiled slightly: "The soldiers are all handed over to you, do you still want me to do it?" ”

The brothers laughed when they heard this, An Yi nodded and agreed: "That's it, and Lao Ye and I can go to General Cai and them to discuss later." Yang Fei, "

"Here!"

Yang Fei handed the folder to the confidential staff officer and returned to An Yi's side. An Yi looked up and down at Yang Fei, who was wearing a major general's uniform, and had a personable demeanor: "Tsk! That's handsome! It is estimated that if you wear a suit, you will also provoke a string of saliva from women. ”

The brothers laughed again and again, and Yang Fei frowned and blamed: "Boss, after so many years, why are you still so unserious?" They are all lieutenant generals and deputy chiefs of staff. How bad is the impact? ”

An Yi smiled, put away his smile and asked solemnly: "I want you to enter the French Concession, preside over the secret work and top-secret plan there, and execute it, what do you think?" ”

Yang Fei's eyes widened and he looked at An Yi in surprise, and Yin Jinan explained with a smile: "That's the case. Liu Hao's intelligence work is very heavy, and he needs to lead the six groups, and the liaison with various gangs and patriotic student groups in Shanghai also depends on him and Chen Yu, who came to help temporarily. Moreover, the operational teams involved in the implementation of the plan are extremely weak. There is no leader who is proficient in the planning and command of special operations, and you were the boss's special plan, implementer, and experienced before you stayed abroad, and the boss plans to send a detachment of brothers to the concession. Inside, there are a demolition team, a sniper team, an assault team, a reconnaissance team, and a traffic support team, which will be selected from the three special teams, and your familiar demolition expert will be Colonel Fu Xian and rising star Lieutenant Chen Shidi will also be under your leadership. In addition, it is estimated that the Japanese and all walks of life are quite familiar with the main generals and colonels of my Anjia Army, and you left early, no one knows you now, and you are personable and can speak standard English and German, so it is most suitable for you to go. ”

"Okay, my subordinates will do their best." Yang Feili straightened his chest and said nothing.

An Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, although the heavy responsibility on your shoulders this time is very heavy, there are our friends everywhere in the concession to support you, and the necessary identity certificates and temporary footholds of the brothers of the special detachment will also be solved within two hours, "Yi Yuan, there are cars, radio stations, telephones, etc., as long as you need it, all the news can be obtained in the shortest possible time, if you can't make up your mind, you can send me a telegram, I will find a way." ”

"Understood! If I can't complete the task under such good conditions, I can just wipe my neck myself. ”

Yang Fei replied with a smile, full of confidence.

Ten minutes later, Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, and Gu Changfeng left An Yi's former enemy headquarters in a car. Go to the headquarters of the 24th Army at the Sihu Bridge in the west.

By this time, the brothers of the engineer battalion of the 44th Division had dug a solid bunker five meters deep, about seven meters long and wide, under the wooded mound west of the bridgehead, and the three concealed exits were the same as the trenches in all directions. The entrance was covered with thick steel plates that had been collected from all over the place, and cement had been poured last night, covering ten layers nearly two meters deep, with an intricate camouflage net. The signal corps also drew telephone lines to the three front-line command posts and the former enemy headquarters where An Yi was located. The communication facilities are extremely complete. This Sihuqiao Headquarters, which is very close to the front line and is very unconventional, will become the place where the generals of the 24th Army command the battle.

Five kilometers to the southwest, two headquarters set up next to the highway are the location of the logistics department. The real field hospital is still in the dense forest of Huangdu Town, which is adjacent to a desolate hill in the west, and is adjacent to the Maqiaocha River leading to the east and north in the east, and is about 400 meters away from the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway.

After the dawn came, the sky was slightly bright, and after the generals of the 19th Route Army completed the position layout revision plan, they pulled An Yi and Ye Cheng, and rode their horses to the second position to inspect the field, and received an urgent order half an hour ago More than 8,000 soldiers who had finished their simple breakfast were distributed on a long front six kilometers long, and began to wave hoes and shovels to dig and build fortifications.

The generals walked in a circle, stood on the high place of Lanxi Gang and looked around, and sighed helplessly at the current construction progress.

An Yi felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so after thinking about it, he suddenly asked: "How is the rest and replenishment of the soldiers of the 61st Division?" ”

"It's been half the night." Division Commander Mao Weishou replied.

When the generals heard An Yi's question, they all looked over with interest, and An Yi smiled and said, "Everyone." If the officers and men of the 61st Division and the logisticians of the two divisions each find a log more than three meters long and a rope within three hours, I am sure that this six-kilometer-long trench can be built within five hours, and a three-kilometer-long communication trench can be built. ”

Is "this" possible? Now almost half of the trenches need to be rerouted and rebuilt, and the time is too tight, so I originally planned to take Deng Zhicai's one or two. The brigade was transferred to help.... It is impossible to paint the tube in 12 hours. Shen Guanghan, the acting commander of the 60th Division, looked at An Yi with a very skeptical expression, and all the generals also expressed the same meaning. Only Cai Tingcuo knew the strong ability and repeatedly original construction technology of the An family's military fortifications, and when he saw An Yi's noncommittal look with a smile on his face, he hurriedly interrupted the words of the generals under his command:

"Don't you remember? The engineer drill code compiled by Brother An is still the textbook of various military schools, and since there is such a statement, there must be a basis for it. Brother An, as long as you decide, I will ask my brothers to get back 15,000 pieces of wood and rope within three hours. ”

"Good!"

An Yi turned to Shen Feng and said: "Adjutant Shen, immediately notify the three brigade brothers who are repairing, put down their weapons and change into regular clothes, and come running with only construction tools, and order all the deputy positions above the platoon commander of the independent division engineer regiment to come here to report."

"Yes!"

Three and a half hours later, Cai Tingcuo and more than a dozen other generals who returned from the forward position of the North Station stood beside An Yi, one by one, their mouths opened wide in surprise, and when they looked around, the entire six-kilometer-long construction line was dusty and in full swing, because the brothers of the 19th Route Army had changed into camouflage uniforms, the generals could not distinguish which were their own soldiers and those were An Yi's officers and soldiers.

I saw a new trench that was crooked but made full use of the original terrain had gradually taken shape, and every fifty meters there was a very cleverly chosen bunker covering the ceiling connected by layers of curtain wood, covered with a thick layer of loess and then covered with logs, and the awkward junctions at the corners, after widening and ramming rows of wooden piles, became sleek and convenient, and the depth had almost doubled, and the whole trench had not yet been completed, and the generals could already see the rudimentary form. The standard construction quality and speed make everyone full of praise and breathtaking.

At the request of the generals, An Yi explained in detail: "The original trench was lacking in the firing height and firing point setting, perhaps because it was too hasty, the depth, width and face of the enemy were unreasonable, although the rebuilt trench is difficult to resist the repeated bombardment of the enemy's artillery fire, but the shooting environment, pass, logistics supply and survival probability of the soldiers have been doubled."

The independent division and the divisions of the 24th Army have always attached importance to the selection and design of earthwork and trench positions, and in this regard, there is another army in the country that has done quite well, and that is the Jin Sui Army of General Yan Baichuan. Over the past few years, as long as the defense capability of the Jin Sui army is mentioned, all the armies have praised each other, and a large part of the reason is that the soil work ability is very strong, and there is a set of strict rules and regulations in the army. The middle model is General Fu Zuoyi, the former general of the Jin Sui Army, whenever I think of it, I am not stunned and admire Yan Bai, "General!" ”

"Although the Jin Sui army is strong, no matter how strong it is, it is not as strong as the soldiers under General An, who in the army does not know that the An family army is strong and can attack and defend well? See you today. Sure enough, it lives up to its name! It seems that we still have a lot to learn from friendly troops, thank you Brother An, you are giving us an important military basic lesson, I believe that our soldiers will have a deep understanding after this battle, thank you! Ou Shounian thanked him loudly.

"You're welcome, the younger brother took these basic courses during his time at the Central Military Academy and the Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and in the helpless situation that our army is far from the armies of the great powers in terms of equipment, scraping and training, and logistics, we can only sweat more and think more about how to save ourselves as much as possible, and not make fearless sacrifices. However, it is regrettable that there are still many problems in this regard in the local army, and I hope that through this profound experience, the officers and men of the 19th Route Army will pay attention to it and form a good tradition and habit. At the same time, it also made the Japanese invaders who have been arrogant and extremely despise our squadron pay a greater price. ”

After An Yi finished speaking, he turned to Cai Tingcuo and lowered his voice: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will send an engineer battalion to carry a thousand anti-infantry mines here, and let the engineer brothers of the 16th Division teach the basic techniques of laying mines to your engineers, and lay all the fronts of the positions that are most vulnerable to enemy attack, so as to relieve some pressure on the defensive brothers." ”

Cai Tingcuo was overjoyed, held An Yi's hand and thanked him again and again: "I'm so grateful!" We have already made this request to Chief Chen, but after Chief Chen and Vice Chief Ge talked to each other, we learned that at present, only your An Jiajun and the four divisions directly under the central government have the technology to lay and use new mines, and no one guides them, not to mention that it is easy to injure themselves by mistake, so there have always been regrets, and now there is a brother who selflessly helps, and I don't know how to thank him! ”

"You don't need to thank me, this time the two armies fought side by side, they were like each other, they lived and died together, and it was ugly to say that one was prosperous and one was lost, so helping your department is also helping ourselves, and I still know that the officers and soldiers of our divisions still have this.

Now that the Japanese are accumulating strength and waiting for reinforcements, the next time the war resumes will not be as easy as the previous two times. Although three of our divisions were arranged on the flanks of your department and on the northern front. However, if the Japanese invaders make up their minds to attack from the front line of Wuhongkou, aircraft and large-caliber naval artillery will carry out saturation bombardment on our positions, and we will be under great pressure, and not only will we not be able to reinforce your troops at that time, but it is very likely that we will need reinforcements from your troops. At the moment of life and death, what is the difference between you and me? An Yi looked ahead with emotion.

Cai Tingcuo knew the difficulty of the situation, sighed and said nothing. Ou Shounian suddenly asked, "The positions on our side are all cultivated so strictly, presumably the forty-fourth senior brothers are also sweating like rain for this, right?" ”

An Yi didn't know how to answer for a while, Ye Cheng stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Such fortifications are of no great use in the positions along the river, the Japanese army's large-caliber naval guns and heavy aerial bombs are pouring down, and there is nothing, so the 44th division brothers are sleeping, and the 16th division brothers behind them are digging day and night, and the location of the defensive position is at the edge of the range of most of the enemy ships' shells, I am afraid that at this moment they are more bitter and tired than the soldiers who are working here." ”

Cai Tingyi asked in surprise, "Then how will the forty-fourth senior brother unfold?" ”

An Yi smiled miserably: "If the enemy moves, I will move, seize the opportunity." Sneak in a roundabout way, prepare in advance, and paste it as soon as the enemy's track appears, desperately, and strive to approach the Japanese invaders as soon as possible. At the point where you can climb 6 on the first line of Wu Hongkou and fight close combat and street battles in the town, there is no other way. ”

The generals were taken aback when they heard this, and then they thought of the fierceness of the melee and street battles, and they were all in awe of the determination of the An Jiajun to fight to the death.
