Xiao Xiong and Xiong Qiang concluded through analysis that in the near future, it will be difficult for the devils to transport a large number of important materials to Nanchang by rail and road for at least half a month, and the major actions of the devils are imminent, and they will definitely transport materials through the water transportation routes of the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake and Ganjiang River in the near future. Although this route is time-consuming and risky, it is a reluctant. This is also the result of Xiao Xiong's northern guerrilla corps sacrificing nearly 1,000 people, which makes Xiao Xiong's goal clear to them. In any case, it is much better than catching geese in the fog and catching fish in troubled waters.

The operation on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve suffered too much loss, especially the unfortunate martyrdom of Captain Hong Zifa of the Fifth Squadron, which brought great pain to Xiao Xiong. Hong Zifa was a veteran of the establishment of their special forces back then, when Xiao Xiong led 10 brothers of the 74th Army from the Wanjialing Campaign, he stayed in the Jiujiang area to fight guerrillas. Now, Hong Min has died in Shahe, and Hong Zifa has died in Jiujiang.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, according to the custom of Jiujiang people, the graves of deceased relatives should be lit. Xiao Xiong and Xiong Qiang led the brothers who rushed back to Jiangxinzhou from all over the country one after another to the graves of the martyrs in Caizhou Village. Rows of small mounds were built here, with only a few large graves.

Most of the coffins in these graves are empty, most of the martyrs were sacrificed in the battle with the devils, and their bodies could not be transported back, and they fought behind enemy lines, and it was a great luck to come back alive. As a result, there are only a few well-dressed graves that remain the occasional relic of the brothers who died in battle. In front of these graves, only a small wooden sign can be erected, so as not to be discovered and reveal the whereabouts of the Einsatzgruppen. This is the anti-Japanese base carefully established by everyone, and it is the base camp of the anti-Japanese resistance in northern Jiangxi, and it must not be discovered by the devils.

Xiao Xiong and the others placed the offerings they brought in front of each small branch, lit three incense sticks and two candles in front of each grave, and burned a stack of paper money. They lit a firecracker in front of each grave and silently told their comrades that the brothers had come to visit them.

Finally, everyone came to Daddy Xiao's grave. Xiao Xiong lit three incense sticks again and bowed three times and bowed nine times. He lit two more large white candles and placed them in front of the grave. He fell on his knees again before his father's grave and muttered to his father.

Watching a little bit of wax tears slip quietly, the tears he had endured for a long time couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, yes, the cruel war of resistance continued, thinking of the heroic sacrifices of those familiar comrades-in-arms and brothers around him, leaving him, his heart has been dripping blood.

Tears kept sliding down with the wax tears, dripping on the placket of the chest and wetting a large chunk. Bai Yu also made a big salute, she choked back tears, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her lover's face.

The war continues, and blood will flow. As long as the Japanese invaders are not eliminated for a day, the land of China will not be at peace for a day, and the lives of thousands of my compatriots will be ruined by those devils who have no humanity.

Xiao Xiong stood up and looked at the Yangtze River torrent going east, and couldn't help but be passionate and proud. He thought, "How can I conquer Greater China in the middle of nowhere?" Although Chu has three households, it can destroy Qin. What's more, I have 40,000 Chinese sons and daughters, and they will never be slaves of the country! The flames of resistance against Japan will surely burn the dreams of those invaders.

Those who insult our China will bring humiliation upon themselves. Those who invade our China will definitely be killed!

Xiao Xiong's eyes showed a murderous intent, he turned around and waved his hand to everyone, and walked back. As he walked, he chanted Yue Wumu's "Man Jianghong" aloud:

"Angry hair rushes to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad. Empty sorrow!

Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing; When the courtiers hate, when will they perish. Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.

To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, towards the sky!

Wait to start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky-"

The tragic and passionate voice echoed in the sky above Jiang Xinzhou for a long time. It aroused the fighting spirit and heroic pride of the Einsatzgruppen present.

In the end, everyone burned all the paper money they brought, and then lit the remaining firecrackers together. Watching the ashes of paper money fluttering in the wind, they fluttered and flew into the Yangtze River not far away. It's like the heroic souls of the martyrs returning to their hometown with the gentle river.

Back at the station, Xiao Xiong summoned Xiong Qiang, Gao Qixing, Zhang Shan, Jiang Feng and other officers, and they summarized the information fed back from various places and studied it carefully.

Judging from the feedback information, it seems that the old devil Yamamoto has been secretly deploying a new transportation plan. The devils have strengthened their vigilance in the areas along the rivers and lakes and increased their garrison troops. In addition, a number of iron-hulled patrol boats were transferred from Anqing, Wuxue, and other places, and they were stationed along the waterway, and many iron-hulled large-tonnage transport ships were also transferred. It seems that Yamamoto wants to build this transportation line into a large transportation channel without leakage.

The deployment of the devils was discussed.

Zhang Shan said: "We only have a limited number of wooden sailing boats and fishing boats on the water, and it is definitely not possible to storm them. The enemy ships were strong and could be sunk by their artillery fire before our ships could get closer. ”

"I wonder if when the enemy's ships have not left Jiujiang and docked on the dock, we still use the previous frogman tactics and blow them up with mines, okay?" Gao Qixing said.

"Definitely not, since the first few times we operated in Jiujiang and Ruichang, the devils are afraid of our mines. Now let alone blowing it up with mines, even if you get close to their transport ships, it will be difficult to reach the sky, absolutely not. Jiang Feng shook his head and retorted.

Everyone put forward all kinds of plans, but they were all rejected one by one. Everyone present was at a loss for a while, and everyone turned their attention to Commander Xiao Xiong.

Xiao Xiong's eyes carefully looked at the water map from Jiujiang to Nanchang I don't know how many times, and seeing that everyone stopped talking, he raised his head and said slowly:

"From Jiujiang to Poyang Lake, the distance is not long, and the devils have strong troops on the water, and the shore is well guarded. Our operations along this route are difficult to carry out and there is little certainty of success. The only area for this attack was the waters of Poyang Lake. ”

He paused, drew a large circle in the area of Poyang Lake with the pencil in his hand, and continued:

"The waterway from the mouth of Poyang Lake to Yongxiu Wucheng is about 200 miles long, and although the devils in this area are well defended, because the line is too long, the speed of the ships is not as fast as that of trains and cars, which is conducive to our attack in this vast water. We set up a few attack areas in Poyang Lake, blew up the little devils' transport boats to the bottom of the lake, and fed the devils to the kings of Poyang Lake! He slammed his pencil into the map.

Wang Yantai lit a pot of cigarettes, he stabbed Jiang Yongming, who was sitting on the side looking at the map and was stunned, and said with a playful smile:

"Hey, I said Captain Yongming, you don't know a few big characters, and you don't know the map, what are you staring at the map? Do you see the flowers? ”

"Stay there and don't bother me." Jiang Yongming snatched Wang Yantai's cigarette gun, took a few puffs, and returned it to Wang Yantai. Then, he said to Xiao Xiong:

"Commander, can you tell me about the map?"

"Aren't you a little bit of a doorman? Okay, you ask. Xiao Xiong replied happily.

"How long does it take to start from Jiujiang at dawn in the morning and arrive at Hukou?"

"Since the Jiujiang River to the mouth of the lake is downstream, it is estimated that it will take two hours according to the general speed of the boat, and according to the current time when the sun comes out, it should be before 11 a.m. to reach the mouth of the lake."

"So, how far is the Lao Ye Temple from Hukou to Duchang? How long does it take for the boat to get there? ”

"From the mouth of the lake to the water area of Lao Ye Temple, it is against the current, almost 100 miles away, and the boat travel time should be about 5 hours. That is, it should be around 3 to 4 pm from Hukou to Lao Ye Temple. Hey, Yongming, what do you ask for? Xiao Xiong couldn't help but wonder.

"Haha, there's a show to watch now."

Jiang Yongming snatched the cigarette gun that Wang Yantai had just lit again, and smoked it gracefully. His strange behavior confused everyone.

Xiao Xiong watched Jiang Yongming finish the pot of cigarettes, he looked at the map, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something. Because Jiang Yongming is a Xingzi person, and his ancestors have been fishermen in Poyang Lake for generations, he must know something about what he said so. Xiao Xiong hurriedly said:

"Yongming, the waterway around the Lao Ye Temple is narrow, and the narrowest part is only three or four miles wide. Are you trying to ambush the devils there? ”

"That's true, but it's not peaceful there, and it's often haunted."

"Will Poyang Lake still be haunted?" Everyone didn't believe Jiang Yongming's words, thinking that he was joking, so they laughed together.

"Don't laugh, there are a few places in Poyang Lake that are often haunted, and I have seen them with my own eyes."

Jiang Yongming looked at everyone with a serious face, and he said to Xiao Xiong:

"Commander, I'm not talking nonsense, Poyang Lake is a not very peaceful lake, and there are some places where people who have lived there for generations, and they don't dare to go there."

Xiao Xiong suddenly felt as if Jiang Yongming's words contained a lot of meaning. He hurriedly said:

"Yongming, don't worry, slowly tell everyone what you know. Let everyone join you in totaling. ”

Wang Yantai hurriedly loaded Jiang Yongming with a pot of cigarettes and lit a fire again. Jiang Yongming pondered for a while, and then told everyone with a serious face.
