"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack ...... Smack, smack! Da-da-da-"

"All the way south! Hurry—"

"Machine gun cover! Suppress enemy fire—"

"Dada, dada, dada......"

The dense gunfire shattered the darkness before dawn, and the remnants of An Yishi, who had successfully crossed the bridge and cleared the sentry posts all the way and sneaked slowly for three and a half hours, were finally discovered by the enemy, because a brother who carried a stretcher on the small wooden bridge in Taohuaxi was overdrawn in physical strength and mental strength, and suddenly collapsed to his death, and fell down into Taohuaxi, a tributary of the Chuhe River, along with the wounded on the stretcher.

The sound of falling into the water and the exclamation of the brothers behind them taking off their stretchers finally alarmed the enemy, and the two enemy sentries more than 100 meters away from the southwest saw the confused figures surging on the small wooden bridge, and suddenly remembered the brothers at the bridgehead sentry, knowing that the situation was wrong, they immediately opened fire to warn, and the machine guns erected behind the Pingdingshan outpost quickly spewed out tongues of fire, and in a blink of an eye, they knocked down more than a dozen revolutionary troops densely packed on the small wooden bridge in the east.

An Yi, who had not yet crossed the bridge, shouted for fire suppression, and Yin Jinan, who had crossed the bridge, grabbed the machine gun in the hand of a brother next to him and rushed to the stream, lying on the dirt bag and firing fiercely in the direction of the enemy's machine gun flames.

An Yi, who was extremely anxious, shouted quickly and moved southward, and the soldiers who were already tired with trembling feet were forced by the sound of gunfire to escape frantically across the small bridge desperately, and everyone clearly knew that five hundred meters to the west was the enemy's regimental garrison, and if they did not cross the only small bridge on the last six kilometers of escape road, they could only wait for death.

"There is a large force of enemies in the east...... Follow me in the first battalion! ”

Fang Jing, deputy of the Reading Regiment, roared, and together with the battalion commander Lu Xiong, led a battalion of only 130 people to rush to the Tiankan on the east bank of the creek, set up machine guns, and fired at the enemy who was rushing in under the black pressure.

The gunfire became denser and denser, the fresh air of the early morning was wiped out under the impact of the increasingly thick gunsmoke, and Gu Changfeng's three regiments and more than 400 brothers were all engaged in the battle to stop the enemy army in the west, and a series of grenade explosions indicated that the enemy was getting closer and closer.

Nearly one-third of the brothers were still carrying stretchers and carrying the wounded, and they ran in line to cross a small wooden bridge with a width of less than one meter without a guardrail, and after 15 minutes, Chen Zhibiao's 2nd Regiment and Xia Jian's 1st Regiment finally escorted all the surviving wounded and sick across the bridge smoothly at the cost of sacrificing more than 100 people, and then rushed south.

"Retreat—"

After receiving the retreat order conveyed by the herald, Fang Jing led the soldiers to throw a round of grenades and then quickly retreated, but before the arrival of the enemy's mortar shells, he followed Gu Changfeng's three regiments and rushed to the south of the bridge to escape, and the fierce shell explosions behind him stopped, and the small bridge on Taohua Creek and the surrounding area of dozens of meters were already unrecognizable.

To the west, the 109th Regiment of the Third Army of the Anhui Army, which had reacted quickly, quickly lifted eight mortars and boxes of shells to the Pingding Mountain under the roar of the regiment's deputy Sidili, condescendingly, and launched an artillery bombardment on the remnants of An Yi's division who were frantically fleeing; The commander of the garrison made an urgent report to the Pukou Military Headquarters four kilometers to the west, and led two battalions of more than 800 officers and men to launch a pursuit to the south. To the east, a brigade of the 3rd Division of the Anhui Army in Liuhe Town was dispatched, shouting and killing to the sky, driving more than 3,000 people of An Yi's Division into the unobstructed tidal flat on the north bank. The twelve guns of the artillery regiment in the north of Liuhe Town were urgently pulled to the south of the town to launch a devastating blow to the fleeing enemy as quickly as possible.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sound of dense firefights and rumbling artillery that lasted for two hours suddenly sounded on the north bank, which shocked the entire city of Nanjing, and the revolutionary troops inside and outside Nanjing all entered a state of combat readiness. Chen Chengshi, who was stationed in the east of the city, urgently sent Li Xianzhou's regiment to Yanziji; General He Yaozu, who was appointed commander of the Nanjing garrison when the whole army retreated to Nanjing, was taken aback when he heard such a fierce battle, and immediately ordered Gu Zhenglun's division under his command to quickly occupy the line of Xiaguan and wait for the battle, in case the Anhui army suddenly launched a forcible attack on Nanjing.

The whole city of Nanjing was in a panic in the constant sound of artillery from the north of the Yangtze River, thousands of wealthy businessmen and nobles dragged their families and fled from Nanjing by car, and the railway station was even more crowded and overcrowded, and everywhere were people fleeing in horror with large bags and small bags, and under the pressure of the revolutionary army of the two regiments, the black pressure gathered outside the station, crying out and begging to enter the station.

In the luxurious carriage in the middle of the train slowly bound for Shanghai, a handsome major general hurriedly said goodbye to several generals on the platform, jumped on the moving train, passed through the crowded guards, came to the front box door and stopped, took a deep breath, raised his hand and gently tapped three times.

The box door slowly opened, and the major general entered sideways, closed the door and whispered to Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting in a soft chair:

"Principal, General He Yaozu has made a preliminary investigation that the sudden fierce battle between Pukou and Liuhe on the north bank is very likely to be a mutiny within the enemy's army, the number of officers and soldiers is unknown, the number is unknown, judging from the intensity of firepower, it is about two to three regiments, and at present, the mutinous troops are resisting under the blows from three sides, and there is no way to retreat, and they have suffered heavy losses, and about 800 of them have crossed Baguazhou by small boat, but they have no power to fight back under the fierce artillery fire of the two artillery positions in the east and north, and it is estimated that they will not escape the doom of being completely annihilated."

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Yu Jishi with some surprise: "Mutiny? Don't you think it's strange that the Anhui army on the north shore mutinied at the time of victory? ”

Yu Jishi replied: "The students are also full of doubts, the first army and two divisions occupying the north bank are all Sun Chuanfang's ace descendants, and the north from Chuzhou to Tianchang to Yangzhou are the main force of Sun Chuanfang's descendants, and the sudden appearance of a mutinous army is indeed incomprehensible. ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at the window and saw the gray and decaying station, only to remember that he couldn't see the Yangtze River from here, and the loss and melancholy in his eyes flashed, and he sighed to the entourage and Yu Jishi around him:

"Forget it, forget it, leave all these things to Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng, who have the world in mind, to have a headache, and give it to He Jingzhi, who is a mouse-eyed, to have a headache! Let them deal with it, I am now in the wilderness, and everything has nothing to do with me, so go down and rest. ”

"Yes!"

Yu Jishi left the box, gently brought the door, and slowly walked to the front carriage, for some reason An Yi's voice and smile always appeared in his mind, lingering, from the moment he heard the sound of the cannon, he had a vague hallucination in his heart that was very close to An Yi but seemed to be far away, this feeling made him impetuous, very uncomfortable.

Yu Jishi walked to the junction of the carriages, glanced at the outline of Nanjing City that was constantly moving back outside the window, shook his head, walked into the carriage full of guards and attendant room attachés, came to Zeng Guangqing and sat down, glanced at Kang Ze and He Jinhan who were chatting opposite, sighed long, and then looked out the window quietly, he knew that in a few minutes, the train would pass under Qixia Mountain, maybe in that section you could see the sky of Jiangbei at war.

Kang Ze propped up his glasses and asked Yu Jishi in a low voice: "Is there any definite news?" The sound of this gun is strange......"

"Judging from the way you dress, it is indeed the ...... of civil strife in the Anhui army" Yu Jishi retracted his gaze, briefly reported the situation on the north bank, thought about it and stopped, and finally sighed: "I don't know how Xiao Yi is?" ”

He Jinhan took in Yu Jishi's expression, his mind changed, and he smiled: "I know what Liangzhen is thinking in his heart, I guess he is worried about Xiao Yi again, Liangzhen won't think that it will be Xiao Yi's department who is fighting fiercely in Jiangbei at this moment, right?" ”

"Don't say it, I remember Xiao Yi often said: everything is possible! Why wouldn't this force that looked like a chaotic army be Xiao Yi and them? Yu Jishi said solemnly.

He Jinhan wanted to laugh, but when he saw Yu Jishi's serious expression, the corners of his mouth moved, and he finally didn't laugh out loud.

Kang Ze on the side straightened his waist and analyzed carefully: "I received Xiao Yi's last telegram three days ago, and there was no news after that, according to the intelligence from the north, until the afternoon of the day before yesterday, the enemy planes were still conducting frequent reconnaissance of the Hongze Lake area, so the younger brother believes that Xiao Yi is likely to still be hiding between the vast lakes and mountains at this time."

With Xiao Yi's ability and the superhuman combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command, in that water town Zeguo with a radius of 100 miles and a complex environment, thousands of troops and horses are helpless against him, as long as he does not take the initiative to attack, there will be no problem in staying for a year and a half!

Don't forget, many of Xiao Yi's right-hand men were born of bandits, such as the killing god Gu Changfeng, I don't want to take a second look at this guy's eyes, he is unruly and murderous! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they all agreed with Kang Ze's analysis, and Zheng Jiemin and Dai Li, who were on the side, heard the laughter and involuntarily gathered around.

Zeng Kuoqing, who has just returned from Sichuan and is now a lieutenant general, said with emotion: "Xiao Yi and I are fellow countrymen, but we have very little time together, especially after fighting in Zhejiang, it is even more difficult to see each other, and I can't spend as much time with him as you do, I really miss him!"

No matter what, I firmly believe that Xiao Yi can come back safely, among our classmates in the first to fourth periods, there is no one who can compare with him in military theory and actual combat command, even if he is under siege in the east of Xuzhou, he can also turn the danger into a disaster several times, day and night, and destroy far more enemies than his officers and soldiers, I even have a feeling that there is nothing he can't do on the battlefield, so you don't need to worry too much, even if the reader is disabled and wiped out, as long as Xiao Yi can come back alive, In less than half a year, a division of tigers and wolves will be brought out. ”

The brothers nodded frequently, and Zheng Jiemin suddenly said: "According to rumors, there was a major train collision incident in the Chuzhou section of Jinpu Road at noon yesterday, Chuzhou North Railway Station suffered heavy losses and was already impassable, and the car accident near Zhangbaling Station in the north of Chuzhou was even more bizarre, and it was rumored that a special train full of more than 8,000 Zhilu troops collided with an oncoming locomotive in the process of going south, causing a tragedy of more than 5,000 casualties, and the Zhangbaling section of the railway was completely paralyzed, and the north of Chuzhou has also been completely under martial law, I don't know if the rumors are true or false. If it's true, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Everyone looked at Zheng Jiemin in surprise, and they all knew what he meant by the half sentence he didn't say, and in the midst of everyone's speculation, Dai Li, who was inconspicuous, said in a low voice:

"The younger brother thinks that this news is true, and if the younger brother estimates it is good, this big news will appear in the national newspapers this afternoon."

Everyone was shocked again, Yu Jishi faintly heard the sound of artillery fire coming from the window, and hurriedly stood up, and asked He Jinhan on the opposite side to raise the window with him......
