"Report, the division headquarters called, ordering our department to quickly return to the building tomorrow!" The adjutant read the order of the division headquarters. After listening to it, Liu Hai knew that it was going to start, and ordered the whole regiment to start preparing and start tomorrow! It was early the next morning. Liu Hai took the running group to Anzhou, a small county town, and all the troops of the 51st Division began to assemble outside the county, according to the time stipulated by Wang Yaowu, the whole army must complete the assembly on the second day of Liu Hai's arrival, but after Liu Hai arrived, he found that the troops had all been assembled! Then Wang Yaowu, who is also the commander of the 51st Division, held an operational meeting!

After arriving at the venue, Wang Yaowu was in good spirits and sat in the chief position, and the staff officer behind him opened the map. Wang Yaowu glanced at the officers, picked up the baton and began to arrange the battle arrangement: This battle is commanded by General Xue Yue of the First Corps, and the task of our department is to defend Shahe Town, Ma'anshan, and the area of Sifenshan west of De'an, and now I order, the 51st Division will defend Wutailing, the 74th Division will defend Wangjiaao, and the 37th Division will defend Sifenshan. After Wang Yaowu finished speaking, the commanders of each division began to express their determination and set up a military order, although Liu Hai was at the end, it could be seen that these generals of the 74th Army were all fierce generals! After the meeting, Liu Hai came out and prepared to go to Wutailing and cooperate with the troops of the 51st Division to defend the first line of Wutailing!

Just when Liu Hai ordered the troops to pull out, the infantry battalion in front clashed with a group of national troops because of the road, Liu Hai saw that the troops were blocked, and hurriedly drove to the place of the incident, preparing to clear the road. "Hey, hey, what's going on, get out of the way!" Liu Hai picked up the gun and fired a shot into the sky, and the national soldiers on the field separated. "What are you doing, blocking traffic here, delaying fighter planes, you all have to do military law!" Bangs yelled. "You're fucking old, call here!" A guy who looked like a battalion commander shouted. "I'm Liu Hai, the commander of the artillery regiment of the 51st Division, now please get out of the way, we have to pass!" Bangs said. "Why? Your artillery regiment . . . "Before the battalion commander could finish speaking, he was kicked from behind." You bastard, let's go east, they go north, and besides, they are artillery regiments, so naturally they have to let the artillery pass first, and there is no artillery to carry the guns of small Japan! You idiot! A colonel officer came over and scolded. Be! Sir! "The battalion commander didn't dare to say anything more, and told his own people to get out of the way." Thank you very much! Liu Hai jumped out of the car and said, "Liu Hai, the commander of the artillery regiment of the 51st Division!" "You are Liu Hai, I have heard of your name, and the humble position is Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 305th Regiment of the 57th Division!" The officer in front of him said. "Good! Time is pressing, let's talk about it in the future! After Liu Hai finished speaking, he jumped into the car and took his artillery regiment to Ma'anshan.

Liu Hai advanced with his artillery regiment and the 51st Division, and rushed to Ma'anshan day and night! However, on the way, Liu Hai found that the two regiments of the friendly troops were moving westward, and he did not receive an order to change the direction of the march. However, just when Liu Hai was about to ask for instructions, an order from the division headquarters came, ordering Liu Hai to continue to advance to Shahe Town to cooperate with the Eighth Army to defend Shahe Town, and the 51st and 58th Divisions, the main forces of the 74th Army, retreated to the west to wait for the rear! Bangs didn't know what was going on, but he still decided to obey the order and head towards Shahe Town. It took Liu Hai a day to rush to Shahe Town, which was now taken over by the Eighth Army, and Liu Hai met Li Yutang, the commander of the Eighth Army, according to the old rules.

"Hello Commander Li, Liu Hai, the commander of the artillery regiment of the 51st Division, was ordered to come to cooperate with your troops in the battle, please issue a combat mission!" Bangs stood up and saluted. "You're bangs, great!" Li Yutang happily greeted him, "Our army's artillery fire is insufficient, it is I, Li Yutang, specially asked Chief Xue Yue to invite Commander Liu to come to artillery support, and I hope that Commander Liu can help and defend Shahe Town together!" "Commander Li is polite, it is our soldier's duty to defend the land and resist the war, and he will naturally fight with his life!" Bangs said. "I'm transferring a battalion to you as an escort, as for the choice of artillery positions, you are an expert, as long as the artillery fire can reach the front of the position!" Li Yutang said. "There is no problem with this, I will choose the artillery position!" "General Liu, this time the Japanese can be said to be menacing, and the brothers in front are all carrying their lives, so pointing to your artillery fire can make the brothers die a few less!" Li Yutang said. "Please rest assured, all the officers and men of our artillery regiment will do their best to repay their determination to become a benevolent person, and work with your troops until they die in battle!" Bangs said. "Good! Okay, then I will thank General Liu for the more than 10,000 officers and men of the Eighth Army! Li Yutang said excitedly. That's right! Commander Li, I also have a mortar company in my hand, in this kind of combat situation of fire support, it is more appropriate for the mortar company to be placed in the front line, I will hand over the mortar company to you, and you can put it in the position you think is appropriate! Bangs thought for a moment and said. Ok, good, good! "Li Yutang now feels like Bangs is a savior!" But Commander Li, this mortar company is Commander Wang's troops, and I am only a guest general temporarily, so you will have to return it to me then!" Bangs said. Don't worry about this, I can't afford to provoke Wang Yaowu, hehe! Li Yutang said happily.

Returning to the artillery regiment, the first thing Liu Hai did was to choose the artillery position in the town of Shahe, and then told the mortar company to report to the Eighth Army. "Regiment commander, I've been to this Shahe Town, there is a bush behind our army's position here, I don't know what it is, but the height is about the same as the artillery, if we hide the cannon there, the devil's plane will stick to the scalp, and he may not be able to find it!" Huang Kesheng pointed to the map and said. "Good! Since that's the case, let's put the artillery positions there! Bangs agreed. Commander, what are we going to do? Liu Jinshan, the commander of the anti-aircraft company, leaned over and asked. You guys! Bang Hai looked at the map: "Your anti-aircraft guns are placed in this position, two kilometers from the positions of the defenders!" "Regiment commander, the task of our anti-aircraft artillery company is to protect the artillery position, what are you putting me in this position!" Liu Jinshan was a little puzzled! "Your anti-aircraft guns are to protect artillery positions, that's right, but as long as your anti-aircraft guns are not on the forward high ground, they are to protect artillery positions, you know, I know, the Japanese also know, if you let people find the artillery positions according to your position, can your guns be able to block the Japanese bombardment? Putting you in this position is to play the action of a suspicious soldier, so that little Japan can not find our artillery position, and this position is quite hidden, if the Japanese plane wants to attack the forward position, then he will have to turn around on your head, and you can still hit them, understand? Bangs said what he was going to do. Liu Shencang, regiment commander, I'm convinced! After Liu Jinshan listened to Liu Hai, he was convinced, and turned around to bring his anti-aircraft gun to the position designated by Liu Hai.

Liu Hai took a look at the bushes that Huang Kesheng said, and found that things were really the same as what Huang Kesheng said, this bush is really a good place, and it is not difficult to find it when the cannon is pushed ten meters away! "The artillery position is located here, this place can not only support the forward position, but also not far from the main road, it is convenient to come together! Your kid's eyes are very poisonous! Bangs looked at Huang Kesheng. Thank you for the compliment! Liu Kesheng said. Hurry up, hurry up! Push in all the cannons, build them simply, and don't destroy the nearby vegetation! Liu Xiaoshan's voice came from behind. I said Commander, this kid is so crazy that even Commander Wang doesn't have a problem with him, how did you do it? Huang Kesheng asked strangely. I shot him in the head and told him that if he dared to violate military discipline, I would kill him before his uncle arrived! Bangs said. Hehe, this kind of person is still afraid of softness and hardness, and if he doesn't give something powerful, he still thinks he is the king of heaven! Huang Kesheng said. Alright, you go and arrange the cannon distance, don't get too close! Bangs said. Got it! ”

"Regiment Commander, the escort battalion that Commander Li said has arrived!" Bangs' adjutant ran over and said. "Good! Let's check it out! Bangs put down the map and came out to see a major. Commander Liu, we were ordered to come to protect the safety of the artillery regiment! The major said. Okay, you guys go to the right side, there are some problems with the terrain, the little devil likes to play a detour if he has nothing to do, although our artillery position is hidden, once the little devil comes in from that side, the artillery position will bear the brunt, you can arrange the position there, in case the little devil comes in, hit him in an ambush! Bangs pointed to a low notch on the right. Yes! I see, never let the chief down! The Major turned around and walked away. So what is our battalion doing? The adjutant asked. Our infantry battalion is placed on the left side, and two 75 guns are reinforced for them, and the terrain over there is relatively gentle, in case the little devils are worried about that side, there will be tanks! Bangs said. Yes! I'll arrange it! The adjutant agreed and left.

At this time, the two divisions of the Japanese army had already occupied Jiujiang along the waterway of the Yangtze River, and then waved their troops eastward, and the commander of the Japanese army, Okamura Ninji, in order to protect the safety of the flanks of the Japanese army, sent two divisions south to the Nanxun line, intending to break the Nanxun line, and then march westward to encircle Wuhan from the south. Liu Yutang's front-line position in Shahe Town was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and the fierceness of the battle exceeded that of all Liu Hai's previous battles.
