"What about people? What about people!! Get up, get up for me!! A national soldier roared loudly, there were corpses everywhere around him, only some scattered gunfire responded to his roar, he stood up tremblingly, looked outside, only to see that under the cover of the tank, the Japanese army was cat, constantly approaching himself, he turned his head, looked at the looming machine gun behind him, recalled that he had a wife and children at home, a sense of helplessness came to his heart, he could only pick up a few grenades on the ground, ready to take away a few more with the same end, he knew that he could not retreat, The gendarmes behind him have no ability to fight devils, and their marksmanship is very accurate.

The officer of the National Army suddenly turned around and shouted loudly, "Reinforcements!!" What about the reinforcements that were promised!! Bastard Jiang intermediary, bastard Xue Yue, my day your ancestors are banban!! "Boom"

After a shout and an explosion, the blue sky and white sun flag erected on the position was replaced with a plaster flag, and the Japanese army conquered the last position of the Laodao River, which at the same time represented the total annihilation of a regiment, and not even a seed was left.

-- Changsha City Headquarters

"Another regiment has been wiped out, and the Laodao River has been completely lost, and if you don't think about a way, this Changsha will really be impossible to defend." Wu Yizhi took a battle report and handed it to Xue Yue and said.

Xue Yue said without looking at it, "I know, now is to survive, to survive to the end is victory, now Luo Zhuoying has consolidated the positions of Lianyun Mountain, Dawei Mountain, and Jiuling Mountain, we are not afraid of losing Changsha, order Wang Lingji, give me to defend the Liuyang River, no order to retreat, otherwise the military law will be engaged, and the death squad is ready?" ”

Wu Yizhi nodded, and finally persuaded, "Don't we do this, after all, this Changsha is an ancient city..."

Xue Yue said indifferently, "It's been burned once, and everything that should be burned has been burned." Now there is nothing to feel sorry for, haven't all the military supplies been tightly down the Xiangjiang River? Besides, I only let Wang Lingji guard a section of the Liuyang River, and the Japanese army will definitely be able to see the flaws, and then they will bypass and attack Zhuzhou and other places behind us, and I will attract them to continue to attack Hengshan at that time, and at that time, our Changsha will be completely safe. ”

Wu Yizhi asked, "How is this attractive?" When the Japanese army captured Zhuzhou, the best way was to surround Changsha and trap us to death. ”

Xue Yue squinted his eyes and said, "This is just a plan, as long as the logistics line of the Japanese army is extended, it will allow Luo Zhuoying's troops to attack the logistics supply line of the Japanese army, so that we will have a chance of victory." ”

Wu Yizhi said clearly: "I hope it can be successful." ”

Chairman Mao was playing Tai Chi in the courtyard, and when he saw Zhou Guansheng walking in, he smiled and said, "Guansheng, you are full of spring breeze, did you bring me good news?" ”

Zhou Guansheng said with a smile: "It's good news, our operation in northern Jiangsu is going well, we have successively captured Donghai, Ganyu, Guanyun, Guannan, Muyang and other places, and we are continuing to implement our plan, and our wish to establish a base in northern Jiangsu can finally be realized." ”

Chairman Mao took the towel handed over by Xiao Wang next to him to wipe his sweat and said, "This is great, the chess pieces in northern Jiangsu have fallen, and our semi-encirclement of the Japanese army in North China has been formed." ”

Zhou Guansheng nodded and said, "The 203 call has already brought a large number of mine and torpedo boats from there, ready to be used in combination to ensure that it can cooperate with the 115th Division to complete the task of delaying the enemy." Liu Dake, Gao Jingting, and Zhang Yunding have already conquered Tongcheng and are moving towards Huoshan to establish a base area in northern Anhui, and our guerrillas in southern Anhui and southern Jiangsu have also resumed their activities, and the situation is very good. ”

Chairman Mao walked to the house with Zhou Guansheng, and said, "After He Long conquered Zhangjiakou, he quickly turned to the defense, although the Japanese army gritted its teeth against us, but did not carry out a counterattack, but Fu Zuoyi's department has already hit the Mongolian border, how to deal with the Mongolian problem, it has become a difficult problem to test the wisdom of our Red Party." ”

Zhou Guansheng hummed and asked, "So what do you think, Chairman?" ”

Chairman Mao sighed, "Actually, it's not that I have any ideas, but what we can do, the Soviet Union and the Red International are our help and our resistance, helping the nation to seek independence is also the banner that the Red International has been holding high, if we enter Outer Mongolia now, on the one hand, it will be tantamount to fighting with the Soviet Union." I'm afraid that some comrades in the party won't figure it out, and on the other hand, it won't be of much use to us that we now occupy Outer Mongolia, so my idea is to hold back for now. After the great changes in the Soviet Union, we will see whether we should take the opportunity to take it back. ”

Zhou Guansheng said approvingly, "This is also the meaning of our discussion, chairman, I think that the Soviet Union will soon send people to negotiate with us, should we prepare?" ”

Chairman Mao couldn't help but hesitate when he heard that the Soviet Union might be coming, but thinking of the current power of the Chinese Red Party, he also had to agree with Zhou Guansheng's inference, he said, "What you said makes sense, I also think that the Soviet Union should send people, but even if they see something and know something, they can't do anything, we have proved in the past three years that Red Doctrine is not dogmatism, it needs to be constantly adjusted according to the actual situation... By the way, how is Wang Ming in Xinjiang now? ”

Hearing the name Wang Ming, Zhou Guansheng couldn't help jumping in his heart, but he still said quietly, "Wang Ming's leg has long been healed, but the doctor said that he is not suitable for too strong work because of brain damage, so he has been asked to be in charge of Xinhua News Agency's work in Xinjiang in a sanatorium in Xinjiang." But he's not very active in doing things..."

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Wang Ming doesn't know much about our situation now, it shouldn't be a big problem, but it's better to be careful.... Forget it, let's not talk about it. I heard that Suiyuan's development has been good recently, I'll see when it is, let's go and see together. ”

Zhou Guansheng laughed and said, "I think it's okay, Suiyuan's position in China in the future is very important, and it's time to take a look." ”

The two of them talked and walked, and laughter rang out from time to time.

After five days of transportation and training, the five torpedo boats were ready, and as the evening sun set, Jiang Cheng, Lin Sanhu and others were having dinner with the officers and men of the navy. It was also the last fight before the battle.

At this time, there were faint bursts of thunder in the sky, Lin Sanhu looked at the sky, felt that the clouds were getting lower and lower, nodded and smiled, "This kind of weather reminds me of the time when Pingxingguan, it was also like this weather at that time, I took the 115th Division to set up a formation in the wind and rain, and the battle was successful." ”

Jiang Cheng walked over with a bowl of chopsticks, there was not only a large white rice in the bowl, but also sea miscellaneous fish and vegetables and luncheon meat, which was also a meal for the soldiers who went out to fight, Jiang Cheng smiled and said to Lin Sanhu, "This kind of weather is the most suitable for a sneak attack, I look forward to what kind of expression the Japanese emperor will have when he knows the news that the naval warship he should be proud of has been hit to the bottom of the sea by a group of dirt eight roads, it must be wonderful." ”

Lin Sanhu snorted and said, "That's... It's definitely much better than Peking Opera. ”

Say, the two laughed.

And in the port of Lianyungang, the Japanese army is preparing for wind and waves, everyone knows that such clouds represent the coming heavy rain, although the steel battleship is not afraid of such wind and rain at all in the port, but it is good to be careful.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's done, let's go to the club to take a break, it is said that another batch of sake has come, if we go late, it will definitely be gone." One of the sailors said urgically to the other.

Another Japanese soldier looked at the sky and said, "Wait, the mine protection net is not fully laid out yet." ”

Mine protection net is an important means for warships to prevent being attacked by torpedoes, generally composed of two parts, the struts and the outer edge of the cable, but because it is too heavy, it often exceeds 100 tons, and it often takes two or three minutes to open it, so that after World War I, the warship design has lost its shadow, but in the task of protecting the port, the lightning protection net is still burdened, and even for insurance, some ports will build a multi-layer mine protection net.

The first soldier looked at the sky, and then saw that there was no one around, so he waved his hand and said, "No, this mine net is a torpedo, where did the people come from such valuable things, not to mention that there will be a big wind and waves soon, and I don't know what it will be blown into when the time comes, let's go first, and we will take a look after the wind and waves have passed." ”

The other soldier thought it was right, so he followed the first soldier back, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and soon the heavy rain came down, and with the heavy rain was a crazy wind, which only blew the trees flickering.

Except for the Japanese troops in Lianyungang, who had no way to be on duty, the rest of the people hid in the barracks, using cards and books to pass the time.

On the hillside more than ten kilometers away from Lianyungang, a strange car was parked in a mountainous field, Jiang Cheng and others were outside the car, Jiang Cheng looked at the weather, shook his head helplessly and said, "This kind of weather can't release drones at all, but unfortunately, I still want to ensure accuracy." ”

Li Qian said comfortingly, "Don't regret it, many things can't be perfect." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "That's what you said, yes, let's prepare." ”

Jiang Cheng was preparing here, the five torpedo boats on the side of Ganyu Port left the port like cats in the dark, Jiang Guoping looked at the wind and rain outside in the command post, and said firmly, "Go around Qinwang Island and advance towards Lianyungang." ”

In the huge wind and waves, the torpedo boat was like a toy in the hands of a giant, constantly being thrown around, but after all, it was in the near sea, so although the ship was small, but there was no danger, and in the early hours of the morning, five torpedo boats arrived at the sea surface more than ten nautical miles away from the port of Lianyungang.

Jiang Guoping looked at the time, exhaled lightly, and ordered, "Order all warships, move forward carefully, no one is allowed to turn on the lights, only use flashlights to illuminate." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Guoping remembered and shouted, "Order the radar to turn on and search for enemy warships." ”

After a while, the radar room reported that "the enemy warship has been spotted, and the enemy warship has not moved, and it should be parked in the harbor." ”

Jiang Guoping nodded and said, "Continue to monitor, and once you find any abnormal movements of the enemy warship, report it immediately." ”

About 20 minutes later, the observation post shouted, "It's only 20 nautical miles from the enemy fleet, do you want to keep approaching?" ”

Jiang Guoping's hands were already full of sweat, and his nervous Lakala collar said, "Keep going!" ”

"18 nautical miles!"

"Forward!"

"15 nautical miles!!"

"Forward!!"

"13 nautical miles !!"

"10 nautical miles !!!"

"Slow down !!" Jiang Guoping finally shouted to slow down, the five torpedo boats reduced their speed, and the wind and rain continued, not that they couldn't move forward, but Jiang Guoping couldn't tell the situation in the port now, so he could only approach slowly, while carefully checking the situation.

After a while, the torpedo boat fleet came to the outside of the port, Jiang Guoping could clearly see the lights on the lighthouse shining on the sea from time to time, and then the searchlight could see that the Japanese warships did not make any preparations for battle, Jiang Guoping said with great joy in his heart, "Immediately reload, from the left side of each torpedo boat to choose a target, be careful not to repeat." ”

The Sable-class torpedo boats carried four torpedo holes, all of which were 533 mm heavy torpedoes, and the torpedoes carried by these five torpedo boats were all later wire-guided torpedoes, which would constantly fire and return signals, so that the various angles of these torpedoes could be adjusted according to these signals to ensure the hit rate.

"The Ganyu is ready!"

"Guanyun is ready!"

"The Tokai is ready!"

... After a while, each ship reported in turn that it had completed its preparations.

Jiang Guoping continued, "Order, fire all torpedoes on time at half past one, our torpedoes are wire-guided torpedoes, and they cannot be fired in a salvo, so one is fired every two minutes, which should ensure uninterrupted attacks, remember, even if we are all killed, we must send the little devil's boat to the belly of the dragon king to worship the gods!" Avenge the dead compatriots!! ”

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! Everyone roared in a low voice, and time passed little by little, and soon, it came to the appointed time.

Jiang Guoping waved his hand violently and shouted, "First shot, launch!" ”

"Poof" a crisp sound, a torpedo with a slender wire into the sea, like a dragon as fast as a dragon rushed towards the Japanese port, five torpedo boats fired together, that is, five torpedoes, two minutes over, five again, five after five, when the first one came to the port, the four torpedoes on the torpedo boat had all been fired, everyone looked at the port nervously, the war room was quiet and could only hear the sound of wind and rain outside.
