Chapter 1310 Skillful workmanship

Wuhu, located in the southeast of Anhui, is located in the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, leaning on the southern Anhui mountain system in the south, looking at the Jianghuai Plain in the north, the mighty Yangtze River flows slowly from the southwest to the northeast, and the Qingyi River flows into the Yangtze River from the southeast to the northwest. The mountains and mountains of Wuhu are stacked on top of each other, the lakes are vertical and horizontal, the Xiangjiang River is with the river, the scenery is beautiful, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, the plains and hills are all ready, the terrain is irregular and long, and it has the reputation www.biquge.info of "the clouds open to see the color of the trees, and the river quietly listens to the sound of the tide".

In a land temple on the edge of Yuanbaotang in Matang Town, south of Wuhu City, Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian each took their own staff officers around a large sand table four meters long and three meters wide, constantly dispatching troops and conducting battle situation deductions.

Although Xia Jian did not dare to mobilize the army to the north in accordance with An Yi's order, it was harmless to visit friendly troops and practice with each other, so after contacting Gu Changfeng, it was decided to transfer a regiment to Wuhu to conduct a small-scale military confrontation exercise.

Due to the rapid development of the old Nanchang in the early thirties, only from the Ganjiang River, the Yangtze River waterway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway to connect with the old Nanchang, has been unable to meet the needs of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebols, so the Anhui-Jiangxi railway from Nanjing to Dongping via Wuhu started construction ahead of schedule, and at the end of last year, the railway was connected with the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and the old Nanchang and Wuhu, Ma'anshan, Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou and other cities were organically connected.

However, with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the old Nanchang industrial base moved to the mainland, and this railway no longer had the role of connecting industrial and commercial centers, but became a very busy route for passenger transportation.

The reason why he chose to conduct the exercise in Wuhu this time was that Xia Jian wanted to experience the speed and efficiency of the transfer of troops from the old Nanchang to Nanjing, and he was very satisfied with the results, and he arrived in Wuhu from Nanchang in 14 hours, so that it would take only 17 or 8 hours to reach Nanjing.

Once the war is needed, whether it is to cross the river in Nanjing City, join Gu Changfeng and go north, or wave his army to support the front line of Shanghai, there is plenty of time.

Yesterday morning, the two armies arrived in Wuhu one after another, and had just set up their respective barracks at the foot of the old house mountain outside the city.

Anyway, being idle is also idle, Xia Jian and Gu Changfeng simply took the land temple where the inquisition was located during the exercise yesterday as a model battalion and circulated the war chess deduction in the army, and came to talk on paper, representing China and Japan from the sand table to confront each other.

On the sand table, the Japanese army, with the cooperation of the superior air force and ground forces, ate the Second Army commanded by Liu Zhi and approached Tongxian and Xianghe.

"Commander, emergency electricity!"

Lu Taofeng, chief of the communications department of the 26th Army, rushed into the Land Temple from the rain curtain, rushed to Xia Jian in three or two steps, and sent the telegram directly to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian was thinking about it carefully, and when he saw the telegram that almost came to his eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Lu Taofeng's face worried, his brows were almost wrinkled, and he immediately glanced at him: "What's so alarming?" Don't worry, Lao Tzu's team still has to fight, and they can't suffer losses......"

"Commander, read the telegram, commander him......"

When Lu Taofeng said this, his voice choked up suddenly.

"Commander, what's wrong with him?"

Xia Jian raised his voice, straightened up, and snatched the telegram to study it carefully.

Gu Changfeng was smiling and wanting to see Xia Jian make a fool of himself, when he suddenly heard Lu Taofeng's words, he was anxious, and hurriedly approached Xia Jian to see what was going on.

At this time, Guan Shan, the commander of the 131st Brigade of the 44th Division of the 24th Army, also rushed into the mountain temple, and when he saw Gu Changfeng, he said with a crying voice:

"Commander, it's not good, something happened to the boss's plane......"

"What do you say? Winter Lady? ”

Gu Changfeng grabbed Guan Shan's collar and asked sharply.

Guan Shan threw himself on Gu Changfeng's chest, hugged him and burst into tears: "Army commander, the commander's special plane was ambushed by Japanese fighters and lost contact in the area north of Bengbu. The telegrams from General Peng Zuliang of the Air Force, Commander Ye of the New Second Army, and the base camp of the Syrian Prefecture were sent to the military headquarters one after another, and the military headquarters did not dare to slack off and immediately forwarded the telegram to the brigade headquarters, which I had just received. ”

Gu Changfeng snatched the telegram, looked at it carefully, met Xia Jian, whose eyes were red, and forcibly endured the sudden sourness in his arms, and roared:

"Fuck it, I'm fighting with *** people...... Defeat Tianjin and avenge the commander! ”。

Xia Jian stretched out his left hand, which only had his index finger and thumb left, and vigorously wiped the tears that gushed out like spring water, but he couldn't finish wiping them off, so he simply let the tears flow and choked up: "Tiger head, I also want to lead the troops north, but the commander said...... He said that without further orders from him, let me stick firmly in old Nanchang like a nail, I ...... I want to report for the commander...... Revenge, but...... But I can't...... Can't fail to carry out the commander's order, I'...... What the hell should I do? ”

Speaking of this, this battle-hardened tough guy squatted on the ground and cried.

The entire land temple was filled with a sound of sorrow, and Gu Changfeng jumped like thunder: "Cry, what are you crying about?" Who of our brothers was not brought out by the commander? Now that something has happened to the commander, we should think about how to avenge him, can crying solve the problem? We are not allowed to cry, we must complete the unfinished business of the commander and drive the *** people out of China! ”

Xia Jian burst into tears, raised his head and said, "Tiger head, tell me, I'm very confused now, I listen to your ......"

Gu Changfeng wiped away the tears on his face at some point, thought for a while, and said, "Xia Jian, you are right, we can't ignore the commander's orders, and the defense of Nanjing and Nanchang can't be lost...... In this way, I will take the 24th Army to the north, and you will send a division to garrison Lao Nanchang, and another division will be brought to the ** camp to guard my home for me. Lao Tzu must make the little *** look good! ”

"But the commander ......"

Xia Jian suddenly thought of something, stood up suddenly, and said sadly: "Tiger head, I suddenly found that we missed the most important thing...... At this time, we should all stay calm, I think the *** people should be fighting, but we should still send troops to the north of Bengbu first, search for the whereabouts of the commander, if the commander really has an accident, no matter what, we have to hold our breath, kill the Yellow River, and go to the Pingjin area to fight with the *** people. However, if the commander is still alive, we should make it our first priority to preserve the commander. Think about it, if the Commander were still alive at this time, how much he needed our help! ”

At this time, Gu Changfeng also began to calm down, and nodded suddenly: "This is reasonable." In this way, Xia Jian, according to what I said, I took the 39th and 44th Divisions to the north, rushed to Xuzhou first, and took Xuzhou as the center to search for the whereabouts of the commander. You lead the troops to look at the ** camp for me, I ordered Wang Xulun to lead the 16th Division east into Nanjing, and when Wang Xulun arrives, if there is no whereabouts of the commander, it is estimated that the commander has already had an accident, and our two armies will join Ye Cheng's new second army and go out of North China together, understand? ”

"Okay, that's it!"

Xia Jian*** astringent mouth and nose: "I will also order Wei Yihang to take the 137th Division into Lao Nanchang, let's use this time to gather troops first, do a good job in logistics and material replenishment, and strive to beat the *** people down at once, no one wants to beat the commander's hard-earned capital in three or two clicks......"

Gu Changfeng patted Xia Jian on the shoulder: "Let's go our separate ways, I'll start pulling out as soon as we go back, you have to take care of yourself!" ”

Xia Jian nodded vigorously and turned to leave.

......

An unknown island in Weishan Lake.

The heavy rain continued, and the lotus leaves and reeds on the lake were drifting in the wind, Shen Fengdao had no poetic feeling, approached the water's edge, washed away the mud on his feet, and looked back at the island. This island is pitifully small, about 600 meters long from east to west, more than 500 meters wide from north to south, it is estimated that it is often flooded, only there is a forest in the high place in the center of the island, not to mention that there are no people, not even a pavilion to shelter from the rain.

The two hovercraft were lying quietly on the ground beside Shen Fengdao, the inside of the boat had been filled with rain, and everyone was immersed in water.

Shen Fengdao stood up and sighed slightly. He had already touched his nose one by one just now, and the eleven people on both ships were breathing, but they were all very weak, if they couldn't find a dry place in time, they would start a fire urgently, and drink some hot soup to warm their bodies, and as the heat passed, life would pass away quickly.

Shen Fengdao cheered up, rushed to the woods at the highest point of the island in a few arrows, turned around, quickly selected a place, flew up, and a half-foot-long dagger from his waist swung out like lightning, in the sound of "whooosh", the wrist-thick branches broke off and fell to the ground, and soon, the trees near and far were only four or five meters high bare trunks, the middle one was the highest, and the trunks scattered around were lowered in a stepped shape.

Shen Fengdao didn't care about the cracking of the tiger's mouth in his right hand, dripping with blood, quickly ran back to the shore, carried An Yi, Ye Qing, Zhou Ziwei and others off the boat, squatted *** and carefully dissected the four-layer hovercraft, trying his best to maintain the integrity of the plastic sheet, five or six minutes later, he finally got a piece of plastic cloth of more than ten square meters, and the rest of the leftovers were also carefully gathered by him.

Shen Fengdao held the plastic sheet, ran towards the woods, and after arriving at the destination, he made a visual inspection, jumped up again, and kept clicking on the trunks of the trees, and when the trunks were almost unbearable, he threw out the plastic sheets in his hands.

With a subtle rotational force, the plastic sheet unfolds naturally in the air, and then falls steadily, the center just touching the central trunk, and then falling on all sides in turn, spreading on the trunk of the tree, and a simple shed is erected.

Shen Fengdao didn't dare to slack off, carefully tore the corners of the plastic sheet, tied it to the trunk of the tree, and after making sure that it would not be lifted by the wind, he rushed down the hill again, and hugged An Yi, Ye Qing and others under the plastic shed one by one.

After doing this, Shen Fengdao still didn't dare to stop and rest, and hurriedly split the thick rope made of many small woolen ropes entangled together into more than ten small ropes, and then pressed the corners of the plastic tarpaulin like a spider's web, and then wound horizontally and vertically on the trunk of a tree three or four meters high, weaving into a fine network structure, and then threw the wet branches and leaves on the ground through the gaps between the wire mesh, let it fall, and quickly spread it out, isolating the flammable plastic tarpaulin from direct contact with the ground.

Shen Fengdao was so busy that he was sweating profusely, returned to the shore again, cut the remaining hovercraft into long strips, and then carried it under the improvised shed with the previous scraps, took off a delicate special sapper shovel from the waist of one of the guards, dug a fire pit half a meter deep and wide, threw the scattered wet branches and leaves into the pit to pad them, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the plastic sheeting strips, and threw them into the fluffy fire pit.

When the plastic burns, it emits thick black smoke, and the dissolved liquid plastic adheres to the wet branches, which soon cause the branches to burn along with the leaves.

Shen Fengdao didn't panic, threw a few branches on the fire, and threw plastic sheeting on it again. With so many layers, a raging fire was already burning in the fire pit, and thick columns of smoke were spilling from the left and right sides of the top tarpaulin, which was very eye-catching.

At this time, Shen Fengdao breathed a sigh of relief, and carried everyone to the fire pit in turn to lie down, and checked everyone's injuries one by one.

The blood stains on An Yi's face and body have been almost washed away by the rain, Shen Fengdao found that An Yi's breathing was weak, his heartbeat was extremely disordered, and his forehead was even hotter, so he hurriedly took off his clothes, checked in detail, and found that the scars on An Yi's face were all skin injuries, which were estimated to be caused by broken glass fragments from the porthole when the plane crashed into the lake.

Shen Fengdao hurriedly checked An Yi's head and found that there was an obvious blood hole in the back of his head, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
