Chen Yi led his troops to insert into the northern foot of Baohua Mountain, and most of the Japanese troops had returned to Nanjing, leaving some pillboxes and turrets along the railway, which were easily taken by Chen Yi's infantry artillery and mortars. It's just that some casualties were caused by the naval artillery of the devils on the Yangtze River. fought all the way to Xiashu Station and joined Liu Maoer and Li Jinshan, who occupied the station first.

Another train was hijacked at the station, and on the car was a large number of munitions transported to the front line in Xuzhou: there were 20 75mm mountain guns, 20 75mm field guns, each with 120 shells per gun, a total of 4800 rounds, 100 Type 92 infantry guns, 100 mortars of various calibers, 100 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 300 Type 96 light machine guns, 300 grenadier canisters, 16000 rounds of infantry artillery shells, 16000 rounds of mortar shells, 1600 boxes of heavy machine gun ammunition (540 rounds per box), 2,400 boxes of light machine gun ammunition (600 rounds per box), 1,000 boxes of grenades (20 per box), 5,000 boxes of 100,000 grenades, 100 Type 97 sniper rifles, 20 tons of explosives, 20,000 detonators, 5,000 kilometers of fuses, 2 sets of field hospital equipment, a number of medicines, 600 barrels of gasoline, 600 barrels of diesel, 50 barrels of various lubricants, tents, steel helmets, military uniforms, equipment, batteries, and even 42 three-wheeled motorcycles, 16 diesel generators, and a large number of canned beef.

Chen Yi hurriedly sent people to help Liu Maoer and Li Jinshan carry them, but fortunately Chen Yi had a lot of people, otherwise he would have to move with the 1,800 people of Wu Mujun.

Liu Maoer and Li Jinshan were both bright people, and gave Chen Yi 2 infantry guns, 2 heavy machine guns, 5 light machine guns, and 10 boxes of ammunition for each weapon.

Chen Yi smiled: "We mainly fight guerrilla warfare, mainly light, infantry artillery is not needed, we want 2 mortars, 2 heavy machine guns, give me a few more light machine guns and grenadiers." I'm sorry, people are short-sighted! ”

"Well, I'll give you 5 more light machine guns and 10 grenadiers, is that enough?"

"Thank you!" Chen Yi was indeed righteous, "Lao Liu, Lao Li, our New Fourth Army is poor, and we have to give me some more explosives, fuses, detonators, or something." ”

"Okay, give you 200 pounds of explosives, 100 meters of fuse, and 1,000 detonators! I'll give you some more medicines and equipment! "Jianghu people are good at talking.

Seeing that Liu Li and the others generously gave Chen Yi so many materials, Zeng Qi's heart was dripping blood: so many good things were bought by the blood of the brothers, and these "**" were so easily cheapened!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the distance, and then the sound of aircraft engines was heard, and the naval artillery on the Yangtze River began to bombard.

"Covert Supplies!" Chen Yi shouted, and many supplies were still parked on the hillside.

The New Fourth Army immediately began to carry supplies without avoiding artillery fire, first moving munitions into caves, then carrying oil, and then other materials.

The caves were full of supplies, and the soldiers had to hide in big trees, boulders, grass nests, etc., and some even lay on the spot to avoid artillery fire.

The Japanese army is still bombing, and the top of the devil knows what the consequences of this batch of arms falling into the hands of the people of China.

Until dark, the devil plane withdrew, and the naval artillery was still bombing.

Liu, Li, Zeng Qi, and Chen Yi each counted the casualties, and Wu Mujun lost 87 killed, 102 seriously wounded, and 357 lightly wounded; The New Fourth Army suffered 192 casualties, 347 seriously wounded, and more than 300 lightly wounded. More than 1,000 casualties!

Zeng Qi saw that the New Fourth Army was indeed disciplined, and under the order of the commander, the soldiers did not hesitate to shed blood and sacrifice for other people's materials, and their commanders were also very righteous, no wonder these "**" competed with the government for nearly ten years with unimaginable rudimentary equipment.

Liu Li and the others were also very upset, and Liu Mao'er spoke: "Commander Chen, I really don't want to go to you with so many brothers and injuries, leave the wounded to us, we have doctors, medicines, and give your brothers 10,000 grenades, so that the living brothers will shed less blood!" There were also 50 boxes of canned beef for the brothers! ”

"Thank you, thank you! The devil has lost so much munitions, he will definitely not give up, seeing that this momentum is going to blow up, you must quickly find a way. We have military orders in place, so we can't help you! Chen Yi instructed.

"Commander Chen, can our Wu Mujun help?" Liu Li and the others hurriedly asked, they always have to pay back if they owe favors.

"We were ordered to cross the Yangtze River north, and we plan to borrow your train for use!" Chen Yi was also not polite.

"Well, no problem. But none of us know how to drive a train! ”

"It's okay, we've found two who can drive trains!" Chen Yi smiled slightly, "Give me another 1,000 catties of explosives, and I will blow it up after I finish using the train, and the devils will die, saving them from endless chasing and fighting with you!" It's easy to talk about it after a while. ”

"Commander Chen, wait! Are train drivers your people? Zeng Qi interjected, and was much more polite.

"No, the devil train transport can't trust the Chinese, all use devil drivers, there are two unemployed train drivers who live in Xiashu, and one of us is a relative of one of our fighters, this time to help us!" Chen Yi did have a set, and in just a few hours, he found a local train driver.

"Alright, what are you going to do when you run out of them?" Zeng Qi asked.

"If they want to go with us, they will take them in, and if they don't go with us, they will send a few oceans and put them back!" Chen Yi was also surprised that Zeng Qi asked what he was doing with this, but he still answered frankly.

"Do you think that's going to work? Leave these two to us, and I'll give you another 100 grenades! Zeng Qi knew that these two people were very valuable, but he kept an eye on it, afraid that the price would be too high and cause Chen Yi to be suspicious, and then take the opportunity to ask for a price.

"Haha, Brother Zeng is clever! You're planning to eat this railroad for a long time! Okay, these two people belong to you, I don't want the grenade, it's all for the sake of fighting against Japan and fighting devils! "Chen Yi is absolutely bold and righteous enough.

Zeng Qi blushed: "Commander Chen, it's Zeng Qi who is stingy, Commander Chen has a lot, admire!" Zeng Qi also has another idea, the devil warship is cruising on the Yangtze River, it is not easy for you to cross the river, let's light the fire here, attract the devil's naval guns, you hurry up to Zhenjiang and cross the river overnight! ”

"Brother Zeng is clever! That's it, we cross the river and fire at the warships, and then transfer them away! "Chen Yi has already praised Zeng seven or two times in a row.

"You don't have enough firepower to fight warships, give you 4 more mortars!" Li Jinshan hurriedly answered.

"Alright! Let's arrange it right away, it's almost ten o'clock! Also, my Maoshan base still depends on your army to assist in defense! Chen Yi left in a hurry.

Li Jinshan immediately arranged for Feng Jiuzhong to search and guard the riverside and clean up the Japanese scouts, Chen Yi arranged to add coal and water to the train, check the condition of the train, and then quietly start the train, without turning on the headlights or honking, and slowly drove towards Zhenjiang.

Liu Li Zeng and the others ordered people to light rows of torches next to a large pond, first along the railway, and then up the mountain, to give the devils on the warship a "hint" that the Wumu army was transporting goods overnight.

The devil's naval guns obediently squandered the shells, and sent gunboats and marines, and the reconnaissance battalion, which was reinforced by Fengjiuzhong, firmly nailed 50 light machine guns to the river bank, and sank 2 gunboats by 6 mortars.

The Japanese were even more convinced that the Shina were stealing their arms overnight, and the shells were desperately poured in the direction indicated by the torches, and Zeng Qi had to light another row of torches in another remote place.

A large number of materials were urgently transferred from the southern foot of Baohua Mountain. Hearing such a large amount of supplies, Tuesday Dog was also anxious, except for the supply of front-line combat vehicles, all vehicles were mobilized, cars, carriages, trolleys, and even mothballed steam tractors were also used! Villagers from all villages also mobilized.

As soon as half of the supplies were transported, it was dawn when the Japanese planes came again, and the convoy had to hide. The Japanese planes finally discovered the train parked near Zhenjiang and began to bomb indiscriminately until the explosives on the train were detonated, blowing the train to pieces, and then Shi Shiran went back to report his merits.

The Japanese warship received a report of the destruction of the train and was shelled by the army of China on the north bank of the Yangtze River, so they turned around and fired at the New Fourth Army, which had long since disappeared.

The top brass of the Japanese army's Central China dispatch army immediately reported to the Japanese army base camp that most of the stolen munitions had been destroyed except for a small part that had been looted. The top brass of the Central China Dispatch Army will also whitewash the war situation, otherwise such a big loss will be enough for all the high-ranking officers of the Central China Dispatch Army to apologize to the emperor by cutting their stomachs. The base camp also knows that this matter cannot be investigated too deeply, otherwise the command system of the entire Central China Dispatch Army will have to be greatly replaced, and the Japanese military cannot afford to lose so many high-ranking officers, and there are too many high-ranking officers, who will give the emperor and chaebol their lives? Commander Shunroku Hata was fined one year, and the chief of staff, Major General Shozo Kawabe, was demoted, and the head of the Military Baggage Department, Changgang, was dispatched to make his own cut.

On Tuesday, the dog received a battle report from Zhao Dahu from Maoshan in Xishan: more than 3,000 tons of materials were seized in Baohua Mountain, and most of them have been transported to Maoshan, and one has arrived in Xishan; He Laifu occupied Danyang; Liu Chenghai's troops occupied Changxing and Yixing, and assisted the Qingyun Department in taking Guangde and Langxi in the third war zone; After Wang Yilang and Li Haiyang's troops occupied Lishui, they were still fighting fiercely on the periphery of Nanjing.

On Tuesday, the dog recalled Zhao Dahu, and after discussing with Xiang Qingyun and Ouyang Cheng, it was decided: 1. In view of the fact that the operations of various units have ended, all transportation capacity will be mobilized under the command of Qi Yuankai of the Joint Logistics Brigade, and all efforts will be made to transport the wounded and materials back to Xishan; 2. All the troops stationed in the city left a small number of troops behind, most of them withdrew outside the city to rest and recuperate, and prepared for the devil's counterattack; 3. Wang Yilang and Li Haiyang's troops insisted on entangling the Nanjing devils and were not allowed to retreat, with the support of the Kehua Heavy Artillery Brigade; Fourth, Baohua Mountain was established by Liu Maoer and the Fifth Infantry Brigade of the Wumu Army, and Li Jinshan and Fengjiuzhong were rebuilt; Fifth, Lu Ao and Wan Zixiong were removed from their posts and listened to the investigation.

After 10 days of tossing, all the wounded and supplies were delivered. During this period, Zhao Dahu mobilized various mobile troops to attack Nanjing City with all their might, causing the Nanjing Central China Dispatch Army to be in a hurry, and pulled back 6 wings from the front line to defend Nanjing, but Wu Mu's army withdrew without a trace overnight, and even Lishui County was empty.

The Second Battle of Southern Jiangsu ended.
