Koike Akira hid behind a rock, nervously shooting at the fire point of the fortress, in such a battle as attacking the fortress, the 38 rifle in Koike Akira's hand did not play any role at all, and the real combat weapon was still the thick barrel.

Perhaps it was because they were discovered, and a point of fire suddenly poured bullets down on the three of them, and the three of them hurriedly lay down, not daring to move.

At this time, a three-man light machine gun squad rushed up and fought crookedly, and a loader shouted, "Hurry up, we'll cover you." ”

Koike Akira hurriedly bent down and rushed up, just after a few steps, a few mortar shells hit behind him, and the reassuring machine gun sound behind him was instantly announced, and Koike Akira immediately shouted "Get down"

Sure enough, the machine gun point that had just been suppressed began to strafe at them again, and another group of three people who charged with them were hit by heavy machine gun bullets with more than a dozen fist-sized holes, and their corpses rolled down with a gurgling face.

"Damn, it won't work like this." Akira Koike looked around a little. The squadron to which he belonged had fallen a third by this time, and there were corpses rolling down, and the rest of the place was probably the same.

"Retreat! Fall back! The long-lost retreat order came, and Koike Akira hurriedly pulled the other two and ran away. Looking at the fortress on the mountain, Koike Akira knew that this was another bloody battle.

Seeing that the attacking forces were blocked, the Japanese immediately began a new round of artillery bombardment, and more than 100 naval heavy guns opened fire again, tilting their fire on the dark fortress.

Half an hour later, the Japanese naval guns finally stopped, looking at the fortress that was constantly emitting black smoke, Kodo Kanichi was excited and wanted to rush up again, Koike Akira hurriedly grabbed and drank, "Wait, it's not over yet." Let's get to the back a little bit."

Sure enough, the other Japanese troops who acted first rushed halfway. The machine guns that appeared out of nowhere rang out again, and the attacking Japanese troops suddenly fell to their stomachs.

"You remember. Your family asked you to come here to live, not to die. Koike warned Kodo Kanichi, who looked at the blood flowing from the mountain to his feet, swallowed his saliva, and nodded.

-- Wu Xue

Okamura Ninji was not surprised to hear that the attack was blocked. Tianjia Town Fortress Group is such an important place, if it is broken with one blow, then he will be suspicious.

"Ordered aviation to attack, and our battleships did not suffer losses?" Okamura asked as he played Go with an officer.

"Four of our battleships were sunk by enemy fortress shelling, two were wounded. The Navy requested a retreat for repairs. The staff officer bowed his head and said.

"Hmm. In this way, they have more than a dozen warships damaged, so let them withdraw first. Anyway, there is fire support from aviation next. Okamura Ninji said indifferently.

-- Tianjia Fortress Headquarters

Bai Chongxi looked at the river in the distance and said, "The Japanese warships have retreated, so they should go back to repair." ”

Li Yannian looked at it and said, "The Japanese army's favorite thing is artillery suppression, they won't end it so easily, I think the Japanese army will have a large number of planes coming soon." ”

Bai Chongxi nodded and said, "The hero sees the same thing, order the air defense force to prepare, and send electricity to Wuhan." Let's take off our Air Force to the rear to prepare. Once the Japanese aircraft group is defeated by our anti-aircraft fire, immediately pursue and kill! ”

Bai Chongxi's preparations were very timely, and not long after the temporary retreat of the Japanese warships, a group of more than 60 aircraft came to the sky above the Tianjiazhen fortress group. Looking at the quiet fortress, the Japanese planes rushed down like vultures who had come to the feast, and these planes were all equipped with 500 kg bombs, which were enough to destroy the fortifications of the Nationalist Army.

"1000 meters, 800 meters, 500 meters. Fire!! At the sound of the order, the firepower network composed of more than 30 anti-aircraft guns, light machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns was instantly opened. THE 20MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY SHELLS WERE ENOUGH TO TEAR THE JAPANESE PLANES OUT OF A BIG HOLE WITH JUST ONE SHOT, AND THE JAPANESE PLANES DID NOT EXPECT THAT THIS FORTRESS WOULD HAVE SUCH STRONG ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIREPOWER. Hurriedly pulled the plane up again, and seven or eight planes were instantly hit with smoke. The bombs could only be dropped in a hurry to reduce weight, and four or five planes were disintegrated in a volley like a firework.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! "The Nationalist Army looked as if it was invincible, and the Japanese plane fell so much in just one stroke. They all cheered.

The calamity of the Japanese machine has not yet been calamity. Twenty or thirty planes rushed over from the west in three formations, dividing the Japanese planes in formation.

"Thanks to these anti-aircraft cannons sent by the commission. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had it so easy. Li Yannian said with a smile.

Bai Chongxi nodded, put down the binoculars and said, "But the battle behind is not so easy, we have to be mentally prepared." The Japanese army has so many battleships and heavy artillery, this battle is even more difficult than I thought, and I ordered Huangshi to continue to drop mines, and we can only rely on this to deal with these battleships now. ”

Wuhan

Jiang looked at the telegram, sat down slowly with a gloomy face, and said, "A month? Jiansheng also thinks that he can only keep it for a month? ”

He Yingqin nodded and said, "This telegram is in the highest level of password, and now only four or five people know about it. ”

Jiang looked at the map. The Japanese army on the northern front has already launched an offensive in Luoxin and other places, and the last battle between the north and the south has begun.

Those photos of Nanjing slowly came to Jiang Zhong's mind, the strong wall is clear, and the wall must be clear.

Jiang asked me, "How many casualties have our army suffered now?" ”

He Yingqin took out a small notebook and said, "As of yesterday, our army has lost 187,000 killed, 165,000 wounded, and 32,000 missing. The number of ordnance lost is uncountable. ”

Jiang Zhong sighed, "There are heavy casualties, but I believe that the Japanese army must not be having a good time, Wuhan cannot become the second Nanjing, order the 21st plan to be activated, all Wuhan materials will begin to retreat, and all Wuhan personnel will be forcibly evacuated, especially those students, don't let them make trouble again." Tell everyone that we are not retreating because we can't defeat the Japanese army, but because we are preparing for a long-term war of resistance. Also, after the loss of Wuhan, the next target of the Japanese army was probably Yueyang, Xiangyang, Jingzhou and other places, as well as Changsha, ordering all localities to prepare for battle and response, ordering Chongqing, preparing for receiving materials, and finally sending a telegram to various theaters to inform the news, so as not to be in chaos because of the loss of Wuhan. ”

Just when Jiang intermediary was nervously arranging. Chen Bui rushed in without even knocking on the door and said, "Bench, it's not good, Guangzhou is lost." ”

Jiang stood up in surprise and shouted, "What? ”

Chen Bui said: "Last night, the Japanese fleet and more than three divisions of the Japanese army suddenly appeared in Guangzhou Bay, and our army could not resist the Japanese naval guns and aircraft carriers at all, and it was lost without holding on for a night. At present, the three divisions of the Japanese army are attacking from the east, west, and north in three directions, and our army is resisting step by step. ”

Jiang Zheng looked at the map and said, "Guangzhou is lost, and Wuhan is even less necessary to defend it, and the No. 21 plan will be issued and implemented immediately." ”

Chen Bui said worriedly: "Guangzhou is lost. Our last outlet to the sea was also lost, and our future foreign aid could only enter from the northwest and southwest. ”

Jiang Zhong nodded and said, "Order Long Yun, we must ensure the smooth flow of the southwest road, this is our last lifeline." The hateful Anglo-French. Until now, they don't want to let our arms in. ”

Jiang Intermediary couldn't help but think of what Jiang Cheng said that night. Shaking his head, he said, "Wait, sooner or later they will regret it." ”

-- Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi

Mr. Zhu looked at the heavy artillery and 107 rocket artillery that were finally transported, stood under the cannon and looked at the cannon with his head held high, and said, "Okay, wow, now we are not afraid of any devil's bunker." ”

Zuo Quan said: "The attention of the Japanese army is still on the Wuhan side. However, depending on the situation, Wuhan can hold out for one to two months at most, and the losses of the Japanese army are also very large. Our intelligence shows that the wounded soldiers and urns brought back to Tokyo are shipponish. ”

Mr. Zhu waved his hand and said, "Although the Japanese army's attention is in Wuhan, it has not relaxed at all for us. Yan Laoxi is now hiding every day and doesn't dare to see people. And now the devils are building fortresses everywhere, and they want to learn from the Northeast to carry out a plan for law and order, but they haven't relaxed at all. ”

Zuo Quan smiled and said, "Didn't we cooperate with them, now our army only attacks road and railway transportation, and no longer strikes at the strongholds of the devils, when they repair all the strongholds, the troops are completely dispersed, and then there will be another pot." ”

Mr. Zhu patted the heavy artillery and said, "This is also the reason why we have good weapons, otherwise where is there such a good stronghold, by the way, Mr. Peng has been in the army for almost a few months, and it is almost time to come back." ”

"I've heard someone talking about me." A swarthy face stretched out, who was it not Mr. Peng.

"This means that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Mr. Peng, you have worked hard all the way, why did you come so quickly, I thought you would be a few days late?" Mr. Zhu asked with concern.

"Isn't it better weather to run faster, wow, what is this? I've seen it from afar. I didn't expect it to be a cannon, where did you get it? Mr. Peng walked to the cannon in three steps and two steps, touching left and right, like a hungry ghost in color.

"SENT BY 203, 122MM HEAVY ARTILLERY, A TOTAL OF 12 GUNS, WE CAN SET UP A HEAVY ARTILLERY REGIMENT, AND THE OTHER ONE IS 107 ROCKET ARTILLERY, WHICH IS ALSO VERY POWERFUL." Mr. Zhu said.

Mr. Peng looked at what seemed to be a farm tool next to him, shook his head and said, "It's still this one, and that one doesn't look good." Okay, let's train the artillery corps immediately and prepare for our back. ”

The three of them walked to the room together, and Mr. Zhu asked, "By the way, how is the training and study of the troops this time?" There's no problem, huh? ”

"Yes, the troops below are very energetic in studying, and they are also training very hard, and now the rectification movement and the bitter and sweet movement are all being carried out, in accordance with the instructions of the central government, do not expand and punish the former and punish the latter, and cure the disease and save people, and the soldiers below have no resistance to the idea, especially this rectification, it is very good, focusing on study, not criticizing people, not arresting people, you don't know, when I just went down, many old people who walked the Long March road thought that they were going to rebel again, and they were shocked." Mr. Peng said as he poured a teapot of water and drank it with a gurgling face.

Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "You also know, according to our plan, we will have huge changes next year, if we don't get vaccinated first, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome later, you look at this." As he spoke, Mr. Zhu took out a newspaper and handed it to Mr. Peng.

Mr. Peng took a look, but it was Xinhua Daily, which said "Rectification or wind?" The article believes that the current rectification is not a real rectification, but a wind, a demonic wind of Chineseism, and a completely one-sided understanding of the true connotation of the Red Party and socialism, and that the so-called Chinese characteristics are just one-sided words, and that they still want to break away from the Red Party International and oppose the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union is now the most important force supporting China's War of Resistance against Japan. Whether or not the Soviet Union wanted to make the Soviet Union hesitate to support China and reduce its support and make the War of Resistance Defeat is a question worth considering.

"Nonsense!!" Mr. Peng threw the newspaper on the ground and scolded, "Which rabbit cub who farted with his mouth wrote this?" Is this Qin Bangxian crazy? Dare to write anything? Dare to board anything? What was he trying to do? Is it something that the Central Committee has decided that he can talk nonsense about? ”

Mr. Zhu patted Mr. Peng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this newspaper has not been published publicly, this is written by that immortal, Qin Bangxian also felt that it was inappropriate, it happened that Zhou Guansheng was also in Wuhan at that time." Hurriedly found him. Zhou Guansheng found that immortal again. It was a good talk that took down the article, but he still sent the article to the Soviet Union, and circulated it internally, hehe, he didn't feel sorry for the money, a telegram of several thousand words. ”

Mr. Peng was no longer angry, thought about it and said, "I think this matter is not small, this represents the thoughts of some people in our party, what is the chairman's opinion?" ”

Mr. Zhu put away the newspaper and said, "The chairman said, everything is based on facts, now is a critical period, if we have a big discussion now, it is likely to affect the future plan, put it first, and when our plan is successful, everyone compares, and naturally knows who is right and who is wrong." Our task is to prepare for the plan. ”

Mr. Peng took a breath and said, "Then we really can't lose." But we can't lose, we have the people backing us. We can't lose! ”
