Facing the worry of the division commander Tang Qiuli, Han Tie smiled and replied: "Division commander, there is no problem in terms of artillery fire, before setting off, Commander Tang of the fleet left me two gunboat squadrons, but they are all equipped with naval combat type "Thunder" rocket artillery, in addition, after I received the order to attack Hainan Island, I collected more than 60 civilian ships in the local area, installed large-caliber artillery, and converted them into armed civilian ships. ”

Han Tie's words revealed a strong self-confidence, which made Tang Qiuli look at him with admiration, but he didn't expect that Han Tie, who was silent, had made a lot of preparations for the capture of Hainan Island, and he said in a loud voice: "Okay! Good! Be well prepared, don't fight uncertain battles, you Han Tie has a scheming! This battle is sure to be won, and I approve your battle plan. ”

Han Tie was praised by Tang Qiuli, blushed a little, and said: "Division commander, I still have some requests, after landing, the three field artillery wings of the Japanese army, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble, our marines are equipped with light artillery, and I hope that the division commander will provide the necessary air support, that's all, nothing else." ”

Tang Qiuli very much recognized Han Tie's calmness and prudence, with superior forces, and with cutting-edge troops, attacking the panicked Japanese army, but he did not faint, except for a marine brigade that followed the fleet, Han Tiehe invested more than 85,000 troops in seven brigades at one time, which was more than twice the Japanese garrison, and it was still so clear-headed, it was really rare!

Even if Han Tie didn't make this request, Tang Qiuli was ready to use the bomber group of the air force to make up for the lack of firepower of the Marine Corps, and he shouted: "Liu Cuigang, come here!" Liu Gangcui, who was burying his head in sorting out the telegram. Hurriedly ran over, "Division commander, what orders do you have?" ”

Tang Qiuli pointed at Han Tie and said, "This is the commander of Han Tie of the Marine Corps, you follow him back to the Zhanjiang Naval Base and serve as an air command staff officer." He said to Han Tie again: "This is my new air liaison staff officer, Major General Liu Cuigang, from now on, it will be under your command!" ”

Han Tie was stunned, he and Liu Cuigang were very familiar with each other, in the ** division troops. Those who can be senior generals at the level of major generals are at least a brigade commander, like themselves, the highest commander of a corps-level formed unit, when did the staff officers of the division commander use major generals? Besides, he served as the commander of the Northern Flying Group of the Air Force. How did you become a staff officer for the division commander? What's going on?

Seeing Han Tie's doubts, Tang Qiuli stared at Liu Cuigang, and Liu Cuigang hurriedly saluted: "Report to Commander Han, the division refers to Liu Cuigang, the staff officer of the air liaison officer, and I am ordered to report to you." Please, sir! Han Tie hurriedly returned the salute, the positions and ranks of the two were the same, Han Tie did not dare to accept such a courtesy.

Han Tie instinctively felt that there was something strange in this, and it was not easy to ask in detail in front of the division commander. After going out, seeing that there was no one left and right, he grabbed Liu Cuigang's shoulder. He asked in a low voice, "I said Brother Cuigang, what the hell are you doing?" It is improper to put a good aviation commander and run to the division commander to be a staff officer? ”

Liu Cuigang smiled bitterly, leaned in Han Tie's ear and muttered, "What? There is such a thing, and it is the same with Yiqin. I said, "You are self-inflicted." I don't know the temper of the division commander yet! Han Tie shouted loudly in surprise, Liu Cuigang covered Han Tie's mouth, looked left and right with a weak heart, and said in a low voice: "Tiezi, what are you yelling about?" I'm aggrieved enough. ”

Looking at Liu Cuigang, like a bird out of the cage, with a joyful back, Le Yiqin, who was greedy, cautiously came over, with a flattering smile, and said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, you see that Liu Cuigang has a task, what about me?" Why don't I go to Commander Han Tie too? ”

Tang Qiu said without raising his head: "You continue to stay by my side, and return to the command of Second Lieutenant Liu Xinlan, and you are familiar with the relevant staff business" Le Yiqin said aggrievedly: "Division commander, don't you have such eccentric eyes?" Tang Qiuli raised his head and said "um", Le Yiqin wilted at that time, and when he turned to leave, he didn't see Tang Qiuli's eyes full of smiles.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening of 8 December, Tang Qiuli ordered Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, to activate the radio station, which had been suspended for more than 20 days, and called Chu Tian, the head of the special operations detachment, who had been lurking in Yangon City, to issue the following order.

"The commander of the Chutian detachment and all the members of the team, the front-line command of the Yangon campaign, are scheduled to launch a full-scale general attack on Yangon at about 4 o'clock in the morning on the 10th of this month, and you and all the team members are responsible for leading the troops, attacking the main targets and indicating the attack route, sending the radio call signs and passwords of each unit with the order, and on the premise of ensuring the safety of the troops themselves, make early preparations to get in touch with each other, and in addition, focus on protecting the lives of Chinese and overseas Chinese to prevent the Japanese army from carrying out massacres."

After receiving the order from the division headquarters, Chu Tian sighed lightly, tears seemed to flash in the corners of his eyes, and he had been lurking in Yangon City for more than 20 days, according to the order, he was not allowed to take the initiative to contact the division commander, and he could not get any news from the troops, he had a feeling of isolation and forgetfulness, and finally looked forward to the order of the division commander, and he did not suffer in vain for more than 20 days.

Chutian was churning for a while, and had the urge to look up to the sky and howl, the Japanese military police, after tossing for seven or eight days, found nothing, so they had to withdraw their troops, and the living environment in Yangon City was relaxed, and Chutian They were not idle, and they took the method of a group of five people, and constantly went out to explore the defense deployment of the Japanese army, and even the location of Ito's general headquarters, the location of the Chinese and overseas Chinese, were also drawn on the drawings.

Hundreds of special combat team members, moving around, did not move a finger of the Japanese soldiers, for fear of startling the snake, the secret passage of Murong Xue's house has become the best hiding place, and the relationship between Chu Tian and Murong Xue, on the premise of relying on each other and helping, has also heated up rapidly, and the relationship has been clarified, Murong Xue also discarded shyness, and was generous with Chu Tian.

Let the special combat team members be envious, through many days of contact, Chu Tian sincerely fell in love with this girl, Murong Xue's careful care of himself, attachment to himself, sometimes made Chu Tian feel distressed, he also let go of his heart, and wholeheartedly accepted this God-given feeling, but, in Chu Tian's heart, he was still thinking about the task, the two of them had very little time for me, most of the time, it was Murong Xue who whispered and narrated, and Chu Tian was busy gathering all kinds of information.

Even so, Murong Xue is already very happy and satisfied, in the dark passage, in the days when he doesn't see the light of day, with Chutian by his side, every day is happy, it is a sunny and sunny sky, especially when he goes out to carry out reconnaissance missions, he looks at his beloved man, calmly maneuvering between jackals, tigers and leopards.

The wisdom and fortitude in that gaze made her intoxicated, forgetting that there were soldiers armed to the teeth around her, and a few times, Chu Tian had to hint and remind her, so that Chu Tian was so frightened that Chu Tian didn't dare to take Murong Xue out on a mission, but Murong Xue couldn't leave Chu Tian for a moment.

Tonight, Murong Xue went to pour water for Chu Tian, and when she came back, she noticed Chu Tian's strange appearance, hurriedly put down the water bowl, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Brother Tian, what's wrong with you, what happened?" As he spoke, his soft little hand stroked Chu Tian's forehead.

Chu Tian calmed down, smiled at her innocently, his white and neat teeth shone in the candlelight, and said: "Xiaoxue, great news, the division commander has come to order, the troops are about to attack Yangon, the days of our dodging and dodging are coming to an end, more than twenty days, I really miss the division commander and them, you are about to meet your parents and brother!" ”

Murong Xue didn't have the joy she imagined, but her expression darkened, leaned on Chu Tian's shoulder, and said faintly: "Brother Tian, after your troops come in, you will follow the troops, you won't forget me, right?" When you meet other girls, can you remember me? ”

Chu Tian lovingly hugged Murong Xue in his arms, pinched her little nose, and said, "Silly girl, how could I forget you?" Don't forget, we are comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms who share life and death together, no matter where I go, you are deep in my heart" Murong Xue smiled happily, her smile was like huā, but she pretended to be angry and said: "You are not allowed to coax other girls like this!" ”

Murong Xue's heart is so sweet that it can't be dissolved, with Chu Tian's taciturn and unexpressive character, it is already very rare to be able to say such a thing, Chu Tian suddenly said: "Xiaoxue, why don't you join our army?" In this way, we can be together forever, otherwise, just thinking about you will make me miserable. ”

Murong Xue's big beautiful eyes widened, her bright eyes shining in the candlelight, and she asked in surprise, "Can I also join your army?" I don't know anything! ”

Chu Tian held Murong Xue's little face and said solemnly: "Of course you can, you go to Guangzhou Military Academy to study first, and after graduation, you can enter the army, the two wives of our division commander are both soldiers, and there are many female officers and female soldiers in the army, after seeing the division commander, I immediately brought it up." ”

Murong Xue almost jumped up with joy and said, "Brother Tian, I want to learn the skills of the special combat team, after graduation, I will be assigned to the special combat detachment, won't we be able to be together every day?" ”

Chu Tian smiled secretly in his heart, "This girl's small physique, can she enter the special operations detachment?" I'm afraid that the training of the military academy will be enough for her" Seeing that Murong Xue was happy, she couldn't bear to let her down, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, my Xiaoxue will enter the special operations detachment and be a staff officer for me!" ”

At about 3 o'clock in the morning of 10 December, the front-line headquarters of the ** division in Yangon was brightly lit, and all the radio stations and walkie-talkies were tuned to the same channel.

At the same time, in the ports of Xuwen, Hai'an, Maichen and other places on the Leizhou Peninsula, one ship after another docked on the wharf, groups of marines boarded the ships one after another, and at the Myitkyina field airfield, one after another fighter planes stopped on the runway, and the pilots stared closely at the control tower.

In the darkness before dawn, a strong bow was drawn, waiting for that moment, and the sharp arrows would come out of the string.
