On August 7, 1938, more than 100 people from Feng Yi and his direct battalion arrived at Jiaoqiao, and under the orders of the theater command, they quickly found the logistics personnel.

On August 8, after a night of repair, Feng asked the brothers to bring three days' worth of dry food and lead his troops to Lehua.

Lehua is just a small town on the Nanxun line, because the Nanxun line passes by the town, and the town is gradually prosperous.

"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns!"

"Cigarettes, selling cigarettes......"

……

Feng Yi and his brothers were accustomed to rushing at dawn, a total of less than ten kilometers away, three hours, they entered Lehua, and at this time, Lehua had just begun to get busy, the residents and laborers of the town were eating breakfast, thinking about how much money they could earn from the train station today, how long they could change their mother-in-law's clothes, and when they could let the family see the meat.

"Be energetic, you have military pay in your pocket, if you are greedy, you can buy some, but remember military discipline, don't lose your head because of a bite of food and drink."

Feng Yi warned everyone and led the team neatly through the lively town.

"Battalion commander, why don't the people here evacuate? The devils are almost hitting Jiujiang. ”

The big man Min looked at the lively town, and couldn't believe that this was a small town on the frontline battlefield.

"In their hearts, this is the place where they live, and a broken family is worth a lot!"

"Besides, haven't the devils hit here yet?"

Feng Yi casually answered the question of the big man Min, in his mind, his hometown Guangzhou is much more lively than here, even if it is a dock for unloading ships, it is more lively than this town.

"Gollum ......"

Smelling the smell of all kinds of food emanating from the town, there was the sound of swallowing saliva from the group.

"His daughter, who just fed you when he set out, are you hungry now?"

Feng Yi smiled and scolded, not to mention these brothers, he was also a little hungry after such a long journey.

"Find a spacious place and invite you to eat steamed buns."

Feng Ye slapped his pockets, and it was the ocean that rattled, which was the military salary he had just received.

"Haha, there's a bun shop over there, and we'll eat it standing and ......"

"Hurry, hurry, ......"

The veteran shouted, pointing not far from them.

There are more than 100 people, and they are all big-bellied men, and there are only buns in the bun shop, no rice porridge, and at most the boss will give a bowl of hot water.

"Incense, really fragrant ......"

Each brother held two buns in his hand, gnawing and steaming, more than a hundred people, swept away all the buns in the bun shop, and the ocean in Feng Yi's pocket was also missing.

"Our task is to investigate the situation on the front line from Lehua to Qiaoshe, and the troops behind do not know when they will arrive, but we must familiarize ourselves with the situation in this area as soon as possible......

Just outside the town, Feng Ye spread out the battle map and began to assign tasks, Lehua to the Qiaoshe line, the straight-line distance is only more than ten kilometers, but they can't confirm the situation just by walking around, and the layout of the defense line is very exquisite; Feng Ye began to assign tasks to several old officers, and the buns just now were not for them to eat for nothing.

Wang Ning, Zhang Chuan, Gao Yurong, Min Fei, and himself, a total of five people, each with about twenty brothers to conduct reconnaissance according to the designated area.

"When it's dark, gather at Lehua Carriage and Horse Shop, and I'll arrange a place for you to rest in advance......"

After Feng Ye finished assigning the task, he began to think about the place where the brothers would repair at night, this was the rear, so there was no need for the brothers to sleep in the wilderness; As for the barracks allocated by the war zone, they will not be here at all, and the war zone will not let the magistrates here prepare a place for them to live because they have more than a hundred people, everything can only rely on themselves; Fortunately, before he came, Mei Chunhua gave him fifty oceans, otherwise, with Feng Yi's military salary, he could only take the brothers to sleep in the wilderness.

Lehua is on the Nanxun line, west of Lehua is a mountain, not suitable for the maneuver of the devil's heavy weapons, the devil will basically not attack from there, the devil can only attack along the Nanxun line, and the east of the Nanxun line, it is just a plain, especially Qiaoshe, just next to the Ganjiang River, the devil's gunboats can shell here at will.

The advantage is that Lehua to the south of Qiaoshe, until Nanchang, where the water network is vertical and horizontal, and the tributaries and small lakes of the Gan River are all over the area, and the devil's tank at least cannot leave the Nanxun line and the avenue.

In the same way, this kind of terrain also brought problems to the defenders, that is, it would become very difficult for them to dig trenches and anti-artillery holes, and if the trenches were dug down for one meter, the entire trench might be filled with infiltrated water, so the choice of fortifications should not only consider the function of supporting the entire defensive line, but also consider whether the place is suitable for defense, and whether the brothers have a good support.

Feng Ye explained to the officers, in addition to the reconnaissance of the depth of the defense line, there is also the reconnaissance of all factors such as terrain, villages, rivers, bridges, etc., in short, this place, there is something special, all have to be written down, and then summarized at night.

This is not a combat mission, but it is more inky and more tiring than a combat mission, especially the officers who lead the team, their pressure is greater, if they are stopped by Feng Yi's question when they meet at night, then I am afraid they will come again.

Time passed minute by minute in the trek of the remnants of the battalion, and when night fell, the tired soldiers returned to Lehua one after another.

"Ahh

A room in the big car shop was rented by Feng Yi, and two rows of simple beds and a stinking quilt that could smoke people to death were the only equipment here; The big car shop was originally for coolies and laborers, and the characteristic is that it is cheap, of course, there are not such good conditions.

"It's comfortable!"

Lying on the hay, the brothers stretched their legs one by one, and they felt that the place was already good compared to the trenches.

"Bring the lamp."

At the door, Feng Ye sat cross-legged on the ground, Gao Yurong asked the two brothers to bring the only two oil lamps in the house, and under the dim light, Feng Ye began to summarize the day's investigation.

"Well, there is a river here, the water is less than a meter, you can wade through it, and there is no bridge ......"

"Here, there are several families, thatched houses ......"

"Here, there is a gentle mound of earth, which is the commanding height of the neighborhood, I have seen it, it is possible to build trenches and anti-artillery holes, and in this vicinity, it is still okay to dig a meter of trenches......"

"The area from Huangjiadun to Hongjiashan is a plain, one kilometer longitudinal and horizontal, close to the avenue, if the devils attack Nanchang, it is estimated that this is one of their offensive routes......"

Under the dim light, the pencil in Feng Ng's hand kept marking on the map, and then recorded it in the small book next to him, he didn't ask questions now, just listened and remembered, and when the general situation was clear, according to the terrain and tasks, there was a general plan, and then according to the plan to demonstrate on the spot, this is Feng Ng's idea.
