readx; Thinking of this, there was a boom, and a burst of fire flashed out outside the smoke bushes to the north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info His deep illusion was shattered, and he felt the sound of machine guns in the northeast area, like a sudden attack of a storm, coming in the air, and like people walking downwind, sweeping the great waterfall several miles away, intermittently, lightly and heavily with the wind. Because Deshan, which is far away in the eastern suburbs, Shuanggangqiao in the northeast, due north, northwest city, and Dagu Village, which is thrown behind, are all fighting fiercely, and the entire east, west, and north suburbs of Wuhan are all chaotic in the continuous sound of machine guns.

On the way, when the lock post reaches a higher place, it is inevitable to stand still and look around. The sound of the cannon did not make the machine gun sound monotonous, and every minute or two, it rumbled.

He turned around by chance and saw Cui Si raising his two hands to cover his left and right ears, but he didn't stop undulating and pressing, but his feet were still walking as usual. "What do you mean by that?" Are you still afraid of gunshots? ”

Cui Si smiled and said, "Staff officer, do you think I'm a person who is afraid of guns?" I pressed my ears and listened to the sound of this gunshot, but I remembered one thing, which is like us countrymen boiling a big pot of porridge to eat, saying that this devil is so poisonous, he used our Wuhan as a big pot for cooking porridge. ”

Suozhu also laughed: "You have this analogy, foolish people also have the benefits of foolish people. ”

Cui Si lowered his head: "How can I be a fool?" Didn't the battalion commander tell me that when it's time to be nervous, I have to be relaxed? ”

The lock pillar smiled and said nothing more. Along the embankment under his feet, he quickened his steps forward, and he was afraid that he would miss the deadline of the division commander, so after walking for a while, he took out the iron-shelled hanging watch to take a look. I ran ten miles in one go, and unconsciously walked on a section of the road.

On this highway, there are lonely houses, doors and windows closed, and there are many scattered grains of rice in the open space in front of the houses. On a withered willow tree as tall as a man, a pile of old fishing nets was erected, and a dog was curled up and sleeping under the eaves steps. When it saw the man coming, it raised its head and swept its tail against the ground, as if it were sweeping the floor, and lazily brushed it twice. Under the nostalgia of the lock pillar all the way, he felt a little bit about this situation.

Standing still, he was distracted, and the sound of horses' hooves came close to him. Under the sound of guns and cannons on all sides, the lock pillar suddenly encountered the urgent sound of horses' hooves, so he waved twice to Cui Si, who was following behind, and avoided the back of the house very alertly. When the horse got closer, he could see clearly in the corner that it was Staff Officer Wang of the spy team riding on horseback.

called out to Lao Wang and greeted himself. Staff Officer Wang grabbed the reins, looked back and asked, "Lock pillars?" Where to go? ”

The lock post approached the horse, put his hand on the saddle, and replied: "I am going to the Changying command post, do you know where the command post is now?" ”

Staff Officer Wang jumped off his horse, crossed his horse and said to him: "The enemy in the northern suburbs is coming with a very fierce momentum, and the battalion commander and the battalion of people are stretched out by the Dawang Bridge and dragged to the front of this road, which is always twenty miles long, which is very difficult. I know, the battalion command post, in front of Qingshuitan. The village in front is Yanjia Village. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed forward along the road, and continued, "Climb over the embankment in front of you, and there will probably be an enemy." Following this road, there should be no fewer enemies from the stone beach. But so far, there has been no intense here, and we have a group of people on guard near Yanliu Village. Due north, the attacking enemy attacked in waves, echoing with the enemy coming from the Shuangqiao in the northeast corner, and the pressure was very high. As is the case in the northeast and due north, this road is the main route in the northwest corner, and the enemy will not relax, and I am afraid that he will soon attack in waves with dense formations. What is the situation in Dagu Village now? ”

Suozhu exhaled: "The enemy is attacking in two directions now, still using wave attacks, in the past few hours, we have relied on two mortars to break him through the waves one by one. But these two mortars are two mortars. ”

Said with a wry smile. Staff Officer Wang said: "Naturally, this side can only use artillery to deal with him, I think as long as the reinforcements can arrive within three days, Wuhan will definitely survive peacefully." ”

The lock pillar smiled bitterly: "According to my opinion, as long as there are bullets, you can hold on a little longer." ”

The two men were talking like this, crackling, and a burst of gunshots like inverted bamboos occurred at the north end of the highway. There were a few bangs, and the cannon also went off, and outside the shadows of the trees outside the causeway, bursts of white smoke came out. The lock pillar said: "Okay, this side is also in contact." ”

Staff Officer Wang nodded: "It's not early, you can't see the road when you turn back, you hurry up and find Changying." ”

As he spoke, he pressed the saddle with one hand, and the man jumped on the horse's back. Suozhu said loudly: "When you see the division commander, you can say that we are here to meet, in case the telephone line is broken, I will try to report to the division commander." ”

Staff Officer Wang agreed, shook the reins, and the horse quickly ran towards the city of Wuhan.

Looking at the sky, the overhead was still covered with those thick gray clouds, and looking back at the western foot of the sky, there were a few orange rays of brilliance under the clouds, intermingling diagonally, and it was conceivable that outside the clouds, the sun had set not far from the land. In the northeast corner, where the clouds were overcast, the weather was unusually dark, and the guns were fired there, and there was a blood-colored fire. In this way, the enemy is again making a twilight offensive.

So he stepped up, crossed the road, and walked towards the low embankment in Yandong. Near Qingshuitan. Under the short willow tree, I met a guard sentry and asked about the battalion command post, which was in the fortifications of the embankment in front. The lock post quickly ran to the battalion command post, it was not very dark, and the battalion commander Chang Qingyun was holding the phone and shouting: "Anyway, rush up and get it back." ”

Suozhu saw that his face was red, and his lips were a little dry and cracked. He put down the telephone, saluted the lock post, and reported in a hoarse voice: "Since it is not very dawn today, until now, it has been fighting like a tug of war with the enemy, and from three o'clock onwards, the enemy has attacked with dense troops, twenty or thirty men in a team, one team follows one team, there are four or five teams at the time, and at the most there have been eight teams. The fifth company in the front, blocked the enemy from such a pounce six times. At three o'clock, the enemy bombarded the fortifications at the chestnut bridge with more than a dozen large and small cannons, and four planes assisted in the battle, and the fortifications were completely destroyed, and we had to resist outside the fortifications. Later, the enemy charged with a dense column for the seventh time, and the commander of the fifth company, Wang Zhenfang, was seriously wounded in the front, and the platoon commander Zhu Kexiu was angry, so he took the group of brothers who had suffered more than half of the casualties, and the enemy who charged towards us violently counterattacked, fighting hand-to-hand with grenades and bayonets, and the enemy's offensive was to stop us temporarily. Because the enemy was afraid that we would send people up to fight back, but the platoon commander and the group of brothers who went up did not come back. ”

He reported that the latter words were very hurried, and his face turned even redder, with two big eyes and two fists clenched, and his whole body looked three points of struggle and determination. Lock Pillar said: "Don't we use cannons to deal with this method on our side?" ”

The battalion commander had not yet answered, and then he heard two booms and booms in a very close place. The lock post said, "Oh! We also brought in the artillery team. ”

Chang Qingyun said: "The cannon was fired at four o'clock, and it had a great effect on the front of our position. The enemy's wave-like troops, ten stops and ** stops are to let the shells repulse, and he still has one or two stops to rush forward, and we just use hand-to-hand combat counterattacks to deal with them. ”

Suozhu snorted coldly: "That's good, but now that it's dark, it's difficult for our limited shells to be as effective as during the day, let's go out and have a look." With that, he and the battalion commander walked out of the command post. The command post was under the south side of a high embankment, and a half-hole was dug in the embankment, and the hole was camouflaged with turf, and there was no flaw in it. In the vicinity of the shelters, but they are simply half by the embankment, like a dry bridge culvert, where the reserve troops rest, sit or sleep. They were very secretive. Even if the enemy plane flew only ten feet high, it could not see what was really going on the ground.

Because Camp Commander Chang walked with him all the way, pointing him out at any time, he found that the embankment was less than five zhang away from him, and there were talking voices. The two of them had gone up to the high embankment, and had already seen the horizon across several layers of low embankments. A red light and a green light shoot like a firework lantern, shooting ribbons of light into the air. Chang Qingyun said: "Suozhu, you see, the enemy has played any tricks that can be played against us in Wuhan." In the past two days, the dawn attack and the dusk attack have always been like this, and they are probably another wave offensive. ”

Suozhu smiled: "Shizuo said that this is because they despise us for not having heavy weapons. Otherwise, such outdated tactics would be self-defeating. ”

Chang Qingyun also laughed: "I followed the instructions of the division commander and dealt with him for a day, this night's resistance, I'm afraid"

It was just when he was a little puzzled that he let out two roars beside him a hundred meters away. In the hazy twilight, two red balls flew towards the place where the flare guns were dense. The red ball landed quickly, a burst of firelight, flashed on the horizon, and with a distant boom, those bands of light like flying snakes immediately disappeared, and the naked eye had a very quick reaction, and on the opposite canopy, a few starlights flashed.

Chang Qingyun smiled: "Okay! These two mortar shells probably buried a lot of devils. ”

When these two red balls shot down the enemy formation, the enemy on the opposite side was indeed silent for a few minutes. But the enemy already knew where the positions of the mortars were here.

A half-arc enemy artillery position, there are more than a dozen guns shooting here, from east to west, on the horizon, there are two or three miles long, bursts of red light flashing, the enemy is firing mountain artillery without limit, the rumbling sound, like continuous thunder, ballistic in the dark sky, brought out a firelight, shooting here into a parabola.

Some were scattered grenades, bursting into the sky with countless rays of light, symbolizing the death of war, stretching out their claws several feet long and pressing down on our position. The shells fell on the front and right sides of the position, and clusters of fireworks surged, and the thick smell of sulfur not only hit the nostrils, but also enveloped the whole body.
