Zhang Fei frowned, feeling a little embarrassed. How do we know about the deployment of the national army in this area, if we really let the artillery fire of the national army take us down, it will be really dumb and eat Coptis chinensis -- we can't tell if we have any bitterness. But no matter how difficult it is, the order must be executed!

Zhang Fei had no choice but to nod and shout: "Yes!" ”

Han Xing looked at the helicopter again, and it was indeed that after it was settled, the helicopter's firepower increased. That is, a Type 89 12.7mm heavy machine gun is installed on one side of the door, the strafing surface of a heavy machine gun is 180 degrees, and the strafing surface of two heavy machine guns has reached 360 degrees, but if it is a strafing up and down angle, it is difficult to say, and you can only rely on a helicopter to raise or lower the angle.

Han Xing said to Yin Zhaoli: "As long as we find troops or weapons that have a hostile attitude towards us, we will shoot them." ”

Yin Zhaoli shouted, "Yes." So he said loudly to Zhang Xiuguan, the commander of the first company of the special operations battalion: "In special periods, special treatment will be given to all troops and personnel who are found to be hostile to us. ”

Zhang Xiuguan issued the same order to all the officers and men on board.

For a while, the officers and men who got on the helicopter became nervous, and as long as it was at the door of the helicopter, they all opened the safety and loaded bullets on it, and no matter who it was, as long as they opened fire on us, then we would never be polite and immediately return fire.

"Take off, fly to Xiangu Mountain!" Han Xing gave the order.

Zhang Fei shouted: "Yes!" Immediately the throttle was increased, and the huge propeller spun at an accelerated pace. The huge force of the wind that swirled upwards blew the small trees next to it and the grass on the ground to the side frantically to the side. The grass and trees leaned more and more, and the wind blew stronger and stronger, and at last the helicopter flew up, higher and higher, higher and higher, and it reached a certain distance, and then the nose was lowered, and the tail was pouted, and it flew forward.

Helicopters No. 02 and No. 03 followed closely behind.

Zhang Fei tried his best to fly the plane high, as long as it was within the capacity of people, the higher it flew, the safer the plane would be. The helicopter can't be closed because there are still two machine guns, which are warily pointed outside, and the air pressure outside is the same as the air pressure inside. Fortunately, they are all special combat soldiers, and their physical qualities are relatively high, so they can withstand many hardships that ordinary people can't bear.

The plane crossed the Yangtze River, and then headed towards the Songshan Heights, just north of Tianjia Town, there is a mountain range, and the mountains are covered with lush vegetation, which is the Songshan Heights. Further east and north from the Songshan Heights, due to the destruction of the river embankment by the national army guarding Wuxue Town, a large area of river flooding was formed, not to mention the heavy weapons of the Japanese army, even the ordinary infantry, it was also very difficult to advance, and they could only walk forward in a small and narrow way, which was greatly advantageous to the defending side.

Fortunately, there was no air hostility between the national army or the Japanese army along the way, and the helicopter quickly flew to Xiangu Mountain. Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief gently.

There was no safe place for the helicopter to land on Xiangu Mountain, so the helicopter had to take the method of staying in the air, and Han Xing and the special combat team all climbed down the soft ladder. Before leaving, Han Xing said to Zhang Fei: "Wait for a while, let's take a look at the terrain of Xiangu Mountain and fly to Tianjia Town immediately." ”

At this time, there were no troops of the national army on Xiangu Mountain.

Han Xing immediately led the special combat team to occupy Xiangu Mountain. Han Xing had the leisure to carefully observe the topography of Xiangu Mountain, not to mention, the scenery of Xiangu Mountain is quite beautiful, and when it is peaceful in the future, a scenic area can be built for everyone to visit.

A peak of Xiangu Mountain is unique, the mountains are guarded, the forest is verdant, the stone cave mountain spring is correspondingly bright with the spring pond lake under the mountain. There are temples, stone caves, historic sites, flowers, trees and fruits on the mountain. Among them, the historic sites on the top of the mountain have the stone city built during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Han Xing was very happy in his heart, with the stone city built during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it would save us a lot of effort, isn't this just a fort! Isn't it a natural fortification to build a few trenches around the stone city!

On the Xiangu Mountain, there is also the Xiangu Temple, which was built in the Sui Dynasty and is famous in eastern Hubei. Xiangu Palace, was built in the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan period, the main hall is simple and elegant, it is a perfect ancient building. The Jade Buddha Hall is one of the main buildings of Xiangu Temple, and the hall enshrines three jade Buddhas unique to Hubei Province. From the bottom of the mountain to the Xiangu Palace, there are 365 steps to communicate, which is said to ensure the safety of pilgrims for a lifetime. On the first and fifteenth day of the new year, there is an endless stream of good men and women who go up the mountain to worship.

"It's really a feng shui treasure, it's great!" Han Xing shouted.

Yin Zhaoli also took a fancy to this place, and shouted: "It's really how high the mountains are, how high the water is, even drinking water here is not a problem." ”

Han Xing happily said to him: "We will build the base here, you see how it is." ”

"Is there anything else to say! It can not only garrison troops, but also shell enemy ships attacking Tianjia Town, and can also shell Wuxue Town, that is, the enemy attacking the Songshan Heights is also under the control of artillery. ”

"Then it's decided," Han Xing said to Yin Zhaoli, "You arrange the second and third platoons of the first company, do a good job of receiving them, and the whole army will be stationed in Xiangu Mountain immediately." I'll take another platoon to Tianjia Town, meet Li Yannian, and say hello to him. ”

Yin Zhaoli shouted: "Yes!" "Immediately carry out the order.

Han Xing immediately called Director Zhang of the Planning Department who accompanied him, and asked him to contact Commander Zhang Weihan immediately, quickly move troops to Xiangu Mountain, and build the Xiangu Mountain Fort. As soon as he said hello to Li Yannian, he used a helicopter to lift all the 105mm FH18 howitzers.

Han Xing took a platoon of Zhang Xiaosan, and originally wanted to take Zhang Fei's No. 01 helicopter and fly to Tianjia Town immediately, but after thinking about it temporarily, he changed his mind again. Tianjia Town is a key defense area, and there are too many troops of the national army, if you take a helicopter to Tianjia Town, it will be too ostentatious.

It is also 7 kilometers away from Tianjia Town, so Han Xing decided to go on foot! I asked the No. 01 helicopter to find a way to stop on the stone city of Xiangu Mountain and stand by at any time. As for the No. 02 and No. 03 planes, Han Xing told them to prepare for the troop transportation work together with the entire helicopter brigade.

Han Xing, with his entourage and a special operations platoon of Zhang Xiaosan, immediately went down the mountain to Tianjia Town, and of course passed through many cross-examinations by many national army troops along the way.

When approaching Tianjia Town, Han Xing was carefully observing this Tianjia Town.

Tianjia Town is a small plateau built on the riverside, and a fort was built, although it is not very eye-catching, but its terrain is very dangerous. Opposite is the Banbishan Fort, which forms a gate with Tianjia Town, and there is only 500 meters to 1,000 meters of river surface in the middle. Seven kilometers downstream of Banbi Mountain is the Fuchikou Fort, which is like a big fan, locking the Japanese troops who are passing by in the river.

Once the Xiangushan Fort was established, the Japanese army not only had to withstand the attack of these three batteries, but also threatened by the Xiangushan artillery on the flanks and behind.

The firepower of Tianjiazhen is as follows: the 1st and 2nd sub-stations of Zhaishan on the north bank are equipped with 4 105-mm naval guns, and the 2nd and 3rd and 4th sub-units of Xiangshan on the north shore are equipped with 4 105-mm naval guns. In addition, it is also equipped with Tianjiazhen mobile artillery (2 battalions of field artillery of the Jiangfang Army): 8 Japanese-made Type 31 field guns, 2 Austro-made Scott field guns, and 12 Shen-made Type 14 77-mm field guns. There were also 4 105-mm light howitzers, 4 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 6 37-mm anti-aircraft guns.

In history, there was a story of the Taiping military chain locking the Yangtze River and the Qing army in Tianjia Town and Banbi Mountain.

Li Pinxian, deputy commander of the Fifth Theater and commander of the 4th Corps, was fully responsible for commanding the defense of Tianjiazhen. Han Xing felt that he was too far away from him, enough for him to be a little out of reach.

On August 5, the Kuomintang Military Commission decided that the 2nd Army and Huo Yuzhang's 54th Army stationed at Fuchikou on the south bank of Tianjia Town would form the 11th Army Corps, and Li Yannian would be promoted to the commander of the Corps, but only the 9th Division and the 57th Division could really be commanded.

At the beginning of July, the Kuomintang Military Committee transferred the 57th Division to serve as the garrison of the Tianjiazhen fortress. Li Yannian led the 9th Division (division commander Zheng Zuomin) to Tianjia Town in mid-July, with the 57th Division (division commander Shi Zhongcheng) as the frontal defense of the southeast, of which the 169th Brigade was responsible for defending the periphery, and the 171st Brigade held the core position. The 9th Division was responsible for the frontal defense of the north and west, the 25th Brigade was responsible for the defense of the hilly area on the south bank of Makou Lake, and the 26th Brigade was responsible for the defense of Songshan and the pass between the two lakes.

Han Xing once checked Li Yannian's information from the Internet, and coincidentally, Li Yannian was still a native of Shandong, born in Guangrao County, and studied at Jinan Provincial Commercial College.

When Han Xing saw Li Yannian, he saw that Li Yannian was thirty-four or five years old, with a square face, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, saying that he was a literati, looking a little rough, saying that he was a martial artist, and wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses. At this time, Li Yannian was a corps commander, and Han Xing was just a small chief of staff of the Southern Expeditionary Army, this official rank was too different, it seems that Li Yannian really has some sugar. Han Xing had to lower his body, first introduced himself and said: "Report to Commander Li, I am Han Xing, the chief of staff of the Southern Expeditionary Army, who was ordered to come to support the Wuhan General Battle, and I have come to see Commander Li." ”

Seeing that Han Xing said so politely, Li Yannian had no choice but to put the shelf down, and hurriedly held Han Xing's hand and said, "I heard, I heard, you fought very well in Wharf Town, and strongly supported the battle in Wharf Town." In particular, the air force of your Southern Expeditionary Army is remarkable, remarkable, sinking four capital ships of the Third Fleet, more than our batteries have destroyed the enemy's fleet. Hurry up, please take a seat! Hurry up, please take a seat! ”

As he spoke, he gave Han Xing his seat.

The local accent is difficult to change, Han Xing listened to him speak with a Shandong accent, and asked: "Why do I listen to Commander Li's accent so familiar, may I ask where Commander Li is from?" ”

Of course, Li Yannian also heard that Han Xing was from Shandong, and hurriedly said: "Shandong Guangrao people, where are you from?" ”

"A native of Jinan, Shandong."

Li Yannian hurriedly shook Han Xing's hand and said, "It's really a fellow countryman who sees a fellow countryman, with tears in his eyes, and he met a little fellow." ”

Han Xing also hurriedly said: "Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country is a great joy in life." Our Southern Expeditionary Army is the team of Fan Zhuxian in Liaocheng, Shandong, and our team and you are fellow countrymen. ”

pulled up the relationship with the fellow countrymen, and the relationship was naturally one step closer. The vigilance in the hearts of the two relaxed each other again.
