When the white belly of the fish begins to appear in the East. In a small forest west of Huangshan, Guo Haijun stretched his waist, rubbed his red eyes, and looked around: "It's dawn, I can't do it anymore." ”

Guo Haijun is a battalion commander of the 40th Regiment of the 14th Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Second Army. Because he used to be a carpenter before joining the army, he was entrusted with an important task and took charge of the "supervision" of their regiment.

When Ouyang Yun had just conveyed this order, most of the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division had not received training in this area, so they all thought that the junior commander had begun to find ways to toss people again. The reason why they have such an idea, on the one hand, is that they can't understand the purpose of making these wooden cannons, and on the other hand, they have been tossed in such a way. What impressed everyone the most was the kind of civil engineering work, and the excellent standard was that one person dug out a one-man artillery bunker in half an hour.

Guo Haijun had participated in the short training course for officers, and his graduation grades were excellent, so he could understand the arrangement of the junior commander, and under his leadership, the brothers of the 40th Regiment who participated in this operation were very hardworking, and spent most of the night so far, and so far they have successfully built an air defense position out of wood.

"Camp! I don't think so! Zhang Bancheng, a company commander under him, said with an open bone, looking at the works that his brothers were busy working in the middle of the night.

Guo Haijun shook his head and said: "Of course, it doesn't look like it up close, but if you look at it from a distance, it is definitely an air defense position." By the way, are the firecrackers ready or something? The personnel who set off the firecrackers should be screened, don't do this work with a few stupid hats - the commander said, this is a technical work! ”

"What kind of skill and trick work, I think it's like child's play!" Zhang Bancheng muttered disapprerovingly. According to his idea, instead of working here in the middle of the night to fix this thing, it is better to let the brothers recharge their energy so that they can prepare for the battle during the day. Because he knew that since he was busy enough at night, he could not participate in the daytime battles. Although the enthusiasm of the brothers for the exhibition was very high, and many people even made blood books or something, there are only two general-purpose machine guns in one squad, and when combined, it is enough to form an anti-aircraft firepower, and three people are enough.

Although Zhang Bancheng's voice was very low, it was still heard by Guo Haijun. glared at him fiercely, and shouted: "You kid just don't have knowledge, well, next time in the short training class, I will definitely get your kid in." Your kid's tactical literacy is so poor, you can't make progress in this way—ah! It's the commander! Seeing it, the commander came to inspect it in person, and he attached great importance to this! ”

Not far away, Ouyang Yun walked over accompanied by Li Hansoul and others, looking at the "anti-aircraft cannon" set up in the forest, he was very satisfied, and asked Li Hansoul: "Which one is in charge, yes, it's very similar!" ”

"It's the 40th regiment, the superintendent is Guo Haijun, his carpenter skills are good, and the furniture in my house is still made by him!"

"Hah!" Ouyang Yun smiled: "I see, feelings are overkill!" ”

Just as they were talking, Guo Haijun, Zhang Bancheng and others sorted out their clothes and greeted them. Salute and shout: "Good Commander!" Hello military seats! ”

Ouyang Yun and the others saluted back, and he asked with a smile: "Who is Guo Haijun!" ”

Guo Haijun stepped forward, saluted and said loudly: "Here!" ”

Ouyang Yun took a step forward, slapped his chest hard, and said, "Brother, you did a good job, I turned a few positions, and you guys did the most similar." Well, when this battle is over, I'm going to get you promoted. ”

Suddenly receiving such a compliment, Guo Haijun's black face turned red, and he was so excited that beads of sweat came out, and he said excitedly: "Commander, the humble post will definitely live up to your expectations!" ”

patted him on the shoulder, and asked about the actual combat arrangement, Ouyang Yun left with Li Hansoul and the others satisfied.

There were seven such pseudo-positions, three of which were of the half-truth, in which at least 50 anti-aircraft machine guns and nearly 20 anti-aircraft guns were hidden.

The reason why Ouyang Yun set up these pseudo-positions was not entirely to confuse the Japanese army, but to create the illusion that under the heavy bombardment of the Japanese planes, the defenders' anti-aircraft fire had been seriously damaged, so that it was no longer a threat. In this way, the fleet can be used as bait to lure the Japanese army into a large-scale attack operation. At that time, it is estimated that the Guangdong headquarters is ready for the L-19 to be dispatched, and at the same time, rockets and other high-end weapons have also been delivered.

Perhaps last night's losses were too great, and in one morning, the Japanese not only did not send warships to carry out long-range artillery attacks, but also did not even send reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

The unusual calm made Ouyang Yun feel a little uneasy, he knew that this was most likely a short period of calm before the storm - at one o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Yun was communicating with Chen Shaokuan and other naval generals, Liu Zheliang suddenly ran in in a hurry, and shouted as soon as he arrived at the door: "Commander, the lookout post in the distance has found a large group of enemy planes." ”

Ouyang Yun immediately stood up and said to everyone: "It's finally here, generals, let's prepare for battle according to what we have discussed!" ”

The reason why Ouyang Yun wanted to go to the Admiralty was because he wanted the other party to cooperate with his actions to make a bait. According to his plan, the Cadet Corps will shrink the 13 air defense positions into three within three days, depending on the size of the Japanese army's dispatch group, so as to attract the Japanese to dispatch ships and cooperate with the fighters to carry out large-scale attack operations. Of the thirteen air defense positions, seven were fake, and this one was sure to be blown up by the Japanese planes, while the six very positive ones were going to gradually hide three in order to confuse the Japanese troops. In the first two days of the air defense operation, the firepower output will be mainly carried out by the ground forces, and on the third day, the navy will play the main role. At that time, the cadet corps would deploy the anti-aircraft fire of the two regiments to the ships, so as to mislead the Japanese army into believing that the anti-aircraft fire on the ground of the fortress had been completely destroyed and had to rely entirely on the firepower of the fleet.

As soon as Ouyang Yun's plan came out, it was opposed by almost everyone in the navy. It's no wonder that it sounds good to defend against the enemy, but what about the real situation? Even if this strategy succeeds, the navy will suffer unprecedented losses. The Japanese army had already lost two capital ships to the fleet by dispatching naval aviation only a few days ago, which forced the Chinese navy, which also had dozens of ships, to retreat into the area of the fortress's anti-aircraft fire. Even so, it was not possible to avoid a fierce blow from the air. Just imagine, if the enemy attacks in both directions by sea and air, then this bit of the navy's background is not enough for the other side to plug his teeth. This plan, when he was drinking with Chen Shaokuan last night, Ouyang Yun had already proposed it, and at that time, Chen Shaokuan agreed. But he obviously didn't have the power to make a decision, so in the face of the unanimous opposition of the captains of the ships, he only said "You guys listen to Commander Ouyang" and lost his voice.

Ouyang Yun understood their thoughts. With history as a guide, he clearly knew that the destruction of the naval fleet was only a matter of time, because no matter how long the Battle of Nanking could drag, it would definitely shrink on all fronts in the end. At that time, once they leave the protection of the army, these naval ships, which can only enter the ports in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River at most, will definitely become live targets and be chased and bombed by the Japanese air force. However, after all, they are the "partners" of many days and moons, and this relationship is difficult to give up. He pondered his words and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the following words may not be very pleasant, but they are a fact that we have to face - the fall of Nanjing is only a matter of time. At that time, once the committee gives the order to withdraw, will your ships still be left alone? I am also quite sad in my heart, the navy of a large country has been forced to such an extent in their own homes -- not only the ships of the navy, but also the officers and men of the army who are currently fighting on the front line, how many of them can survive? It's a sad question! It's us, who knows how many people will survive? I'm not alarmist – this is a national war, and as a soldier, it's honorable to be able to give your life to it. People are going to die anyway, and instead of dying on their knees, it is better to straighten their chests and pull a few more pads. You may think I'm talking cool things, but I can guarantee that even if you have sacrifices, it must be worth the money, and our apprentice army will definitely help you get it back with interest! ……”

What Ouyang Yun said is not only a fact, but also a very simple truth. It is impossible for all of you here not to understand, and their subconscious voice of opposition is actually just due to a kind of inertia that is unwilling to fate.

Oh, yes! It is both sad and humiliating for the navy of a great country to be forced into disgrace by the invaders in their own homes. Sadness can be healed by time, but humiliation can only be washed away with blood—whether it is the blood of the enemy, or your own blood, if it is a man, you should straighten your chest—even if you die, you must be dignified.

There was silence in the conference room for a while, but the smell of cigarettes suddenly became stronger.

The cigarettes were brought by Ouyang Yun, the product of the Great Wall Tobacco Company under the Xuebing Army, because the tail is equipped with a filter, which is currently a luxury item in short supply. Chen Hongtai, the captain of the Ninghai ship, looked at Ouyang Yun while swallowing clouds and spitting mist. After a few minutes, he took a sharp breath, spit it out, and said, "Commander Ouyang, just follow your plan!" I have only one condition! ”

Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "This battle is not for me Ouyang Yun, and he even put forward conditions!" His face remained silent and looked over.

Chen Hongtai looked at the filter in his hand, raised his head and said, "Let's prepare more Great Wall cigarettes for us!" What do you think? Not too much, right?! ”

"Hah!" Ouyang Yun and others laughed, including Chen Shaokuan, many people half-jokingly and half-seriously raised this question.

Ouyang Yun agreed without hesitation and said, "That's it." On this expedition, in the name of the headquarters, we brought a total of ten boxes, and I will divide five boxes into five boxes for everyone. ”

Xu was because of the cigarette as a medium, and when the details were discussed next, the atmosphere was very harmonious. And everyone had just finalized the details of the battle sequence, and Liu Zheliang broke in.
