Chapter 626: Heavy Rain!

Starting from Yongxiu, the 11th Division was about to leave the avenue, and the 74th Army and the devils were fighting fiercely near De'an, even if it was Yongxiu, they could usher in the bombing of the devil's planes at any time.

The troops directly under the 11th Division were the first to arrive here, and they were not resting, at least they had received back the ammunition that had been replenished to them by the 9th Theater of Operations, and they were now distributing it to the regiments.

"From now on, ammunition will be distributed in wartime; The mortars and shells of the fire support platoon were temporarily carried by the people, and the rest of the people, bullets, grenades, dry food and water, had to be carried with them and ready to fight at any time......"

In the temporary camp, Feng Yi's direct battalion also received their ammunition, compared to the two regiments, he received a bit more ammunition, and his three hundred people couldn't use that much at all, because there was still reserve ammunition from the 31st Brigade here.

Temporary division headquarters, the meeting continued, Peng Zhancun finished reading the order, and briefly talked about the topography of Niujin Mountain, Arctic Peak and Minshan House.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fierce battle ahead is in full swing, here, I don't want to say more, the eleventh division is below me, and it can only fight bloodily!"

After Peng Zhancun finished reading, Peng Shan stood up and loudly encouraged these officers who had fought until now.

"Deputy Division Commander Ye Peigao."

Peng Shan's voice suddenly became louder and began to roll call.

"Here!"

Ye Peigao stood up, straightened his waist, and waited for the division commander's order.

"The 31st Brigade attacked Niujin Mountain, Arctic Peak, and Minshan House, and you were responsible for supervising the battle, and the time for the artillery battalion to open fire was also set by you, is there any problem?"

Peng Shan asked.

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

Ye Peigao saluted and replied loudly, showing his determination.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to intelligence, this time the Japanese army has dispatched nearly 300,000 elite troops to attack our Wuhan in two ways, and now on this road to Nanchang, there is only one ninth division that is a standing division, so the fierce battle is still to come, let's fight for the country together!"

Peng Shan clenched his fists and encouraged his officers.

"Fight to the death for your country!"

The deputy division commander stood up first and shouted loudly.

"Fight to the death for your country!"

……

All the officers stood up and shouted loudly.

"You can sit here a little longer, and I'll rush to replenish it!"

Peng Shan motioned to the officers to be casual and stepped out of the division headquarters by himself, and Peng Zhancun saw this scene and followed out.

This time, the ammunition replenished by the 9th Theater to the 11th Division was seriously insufficient, and as for the soldiers, there was no such thing, and their current replenishment regiments were all empty shells, and there was not a single soldier.

"Division commander, Jin Lisan, the commander of the supplementary regiment, has already trained recruits in the rear, there are about 3,000 people, but they are all recruits who have just been recruited, and they haven't even touched their guns......"

Peng Zhancun followed behind Peng Shan, saying that the news he had just gotten was that this recruit was still specially allocated by Chief Chen.

"His daughter's horse, the Botian detachment is relying on the cover of the 106th Division at Hukou, and this time it is these things that hope to defend the position, and labor and management must make these things who have forgotten their ancestors regret stepping on the mainland."

Peng Shan left, and the division headquarters was lively again, and Luo Xianda, who had just been promoted to regiment commander, shouted loudly, eager to play well in this battle.

"It's not easy to fight this time, these two devils are not easy to fight, not to mention that they still have the devil's ninth division by their side."

"Indeed! In the first battle of Luodian, the Devil's Ninth Division was a very fierce ......"

In fact, since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the 11th Division has been able to retreat from every battle is precisely because they fully estimated the enemy's situation, and did not regard themselves as the elite of their lineage and looked down on any opponent.

In the smoky conference room, the officers sat for a while and then left, where they understood the situation of their opponents, and then, naturally, they returned to their respective units to prepare.

The weather in the south is changing, especially on the Yangtze River, when the 11th Division was just about to set off, and the clear sky was shrouded in dark clouds in an instant.

"Click, boom......"

The thunder was accompanied by lightning, and the pouring rain covered the line of Jiujiang, Ruichang and De'an, and even Yongxiu could not escape.

"What to do? It's only five minutes before the assembly and departure, and it's raining so hard at this time, how can you go? ”

The officers in charge of the baggage were very distressed, the infantry could hold on to the march in the rain, but the laborers could not, they carried a lot of baggage, the mountain trails were already narrow, and when trampled by the large troops, they would become more muddy and slippery, and the heavy supplies would become difficult with every step.

All the soldiers stopped their movements and waited for the officer's order; Similarly, the regimental commanders were asking the brigade commanders and chiefs of staff that they were very afraid of marching in the rain, which would waste the soldiers' already scarce physical strength on the march.

"Division commander, the rain is too heavy, and the sky is getting dark, at this time, the threat to the troops is too great, do you want to wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving?"

Divisional headquarters, Peng Zhancun asked Peng Shan carefully.

"But time waits for no one! The situation on the front line of Ruichang is urgent, if we don't arrive on time, it may lead to the loss of the defense line and the further deterioration of the battle situation! ”

Peng Shan frowned, he couldn't give this order!

"Division commander, the little devil is well armed, there are planes in the sky, tanks and artillery on the ground; And the 30th Group Army on the front line of Ruichang built countless fortified positions here; I think that after this weather, the impact on the devils is even greater, as long as the defenders on the position do not take the initiative to retreat, the devils will not be able to break through. ”

Peng Zhancun pointed to the map on the wall and reminded Peng Shan.

In the rainstorm weather, first of all, the devil's plane will definitely be greatly affected, not to mention that they can't fly, at least they don't dare to bomb and strafe at low altitude; And now it is showing a stalemate, and the shells of high-altitude bombardment do not necessarily fall on anyone's head.

In this kind of weather, the impact on the devil artillery and tanks is also great, their transfer efficiency becomes lower, and their shell delivery will become very difficult.

"Well, send a telegram to the military headquarters and the war zone, just say that the 11th Division is running continuously and is exhausted, and asks for eight hours of repair in Yongxiu and will leave tomorrow morning."

Peng Shan finally relented and asked Peng Zhancun to send a message for instructions.

"The division headquarters ordered all troops to rest in place and be ready to go at any time."

Peng Shan's order was quickly reached to every regiment, but Peng Shan did not tell them to repair until tomorrow morning, for he was afraid that the officers would slacken.

"Rest! The rain won't stop anytime soon. ”

Feng Yi looked at the sky, and there was no trace of the dark clouds in the sky dissipating, so it was better to let the brothers have a good rest first.

Heavy rain is like a note, the air is filled with moist water vapor, the sky is a torrential rain, but the ground is gradually beginning to fog, and more importantly, the sky is getting dark again, Feng Yi knows that in this kind of weather, it is impossible to let the large army pull out.
