Bai Liusu's identity was too sensitive, and Ouyang Yun was well-known for protecting his shortcomings. Bai Liusu went directly to Ji Xingwen to ask for the procedures for coming to study in the Seventh Brigade. He Zhengsheng didn't know about it in advance, but when he found out about it, Everything was a foregone conclusion. When he first heard the news, his head immediately got bigger. On the surface, Bai Liusu's appointment with the Third Airborne School seemed to be beneficial to him. Because of Bai Liusu's relationship with Ouyang Yun, if he took the wife route, , is extremely helpful to his career. However, considering that it is a war era and fighting is frequent, this is not a good thing but a bad thing. If Bai Liusu is good or bad, then the future of He Zhengsheng will also be different. That's it,
In the foreseeable battles, Mianchuan Island will definitely be the most dangerous battlefield. In the early battles, the Xuebing Army has no artillery units to call upon. As for the fortress artillery, because their number is too rare, don’t expect to rely on them. To suppress the Japanese artillery, according to the calculations of the combat staff of the General Headquarters, the two hours after the war started will be the most difficult time for the defenders of Mianchuan Island. At that time, without the support of artillery, they must use one The brigade must fight against the Japanese from a brigade or even a division that may be pouring in from the northwest.
The Japanese army's early artillery fire preparations were too complete. He Zhengsheng waited in fear for twenty minutes at the North Bank Fortress and still found no sign of the Japanese artillery attack stopping. This made him even more worried about Bai Liusu's safety.
The worry turned out to be true. Bai Liusu, a bold guy, really went to the front line. After He Zhengsheng scolded him, he felt that this could not solve the actual problem. After thinking for a while, he made a decision to let Xue Eighth Brigade brigade Commander Xu Feng led the 304th Regiment to pick up Bai Liusu and asked him to bring Bai Liusu back intact no matter what.
Not long after the Xuebing Army took over the fortress, Ouyang Yun asked the 8th Xuebing Brigade to be responsible for the defense of Mianchuan Island. However, shortly thereafter, Bai Liusu, who was originally responsible for the defense of the fortress, offered to garrison Mianchuan Island. In He Zhengjiang's view, Bai Liusu He just took advantage of his relationship with the commander-in-chief to do whatever he wanted. However, because Ouyang Yun agreed, he, the division commander, could only let it go.
Okay, finally things got out of hand. Fortunately, Xu Feng knew the basics and didn't let Bai Liusu's "domineering" let him down at the critical moment. Xu Feng knew how difficult this trip would be, so he treated He Zheng before departure. Jiang said: "Master, I won't personally escort Brigadier Bai back by then. Someone needs to be on the front line of Shengzhou. Leave this task to me."
He Zhengsheng nodded, fearing that he would be emotional, and said: "Lao Xu, don't worry. One thing is better than the other. After this battle is over, I will ask the commander-in-chief to transfer Brigadier Bai back. This battle is difficult, please do everything." Already."
Not long after Xu Feng led his men to leave, the Japanese artillery fire finally stopped, and what followed was a ferocious ground attack. As He Zhengjiang expected, the Japanese army centered on Shengzhou and Zhoutou, and the 11th Division The 112th Division was also dispatched at the same time. In an instant, the north bank of Jiajiang River was filled with Japanese soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms.
Under the illumination of one flare after another, hundreds of ships of various types were carried to the riverside by Japanese engineers. Then, groups of Japanese soldiers boarded the ships one after another. At the same time, the sound of "Tong Tong" sounded. , defeated the large-caliber mortars and began to clear the north shore of Mianchuan Island...
Ouyang Yun walked out of the command post again. He looked far into the distance. However, because the distance was too far, he could only see the flares coming and going in the northwest, but could not see the specific situation. Thinking of Bai Liusu, he actually felt a little nervous. He asked Chen Shichang who was following closely: "Shichang, do you think Liusu and the others can last for two hours?"
Two hours is calculated through precise calculations. After two hours, Zhang Tianquan's artillery will be able to return to the fortress. By then, with artillery support, it will not only be able to effectively suppress the Japanese artillery, but also provide full support to the frontline troops.
Chen Shichang didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he said naturally: "Although Brigadier Bai is a female, he has been active on the front line when he was in Renqiu and has rich experience in fighting the enemy, so there must be no problem."
"Where's Penglangji? Do you have the latest information?"
"The 106th Division also organized an attack on time, but they couldn't even break through the defense line of the 12th Xue Division. Division, there's really nothing to worry about in the direction of Penglangji. I think it's time to call back the 9th Xue Brigade. .”
"No, once the Ninth Learning Brigade is recalled, the little devil will no longer have any worries. In fact, if Ye Zhao and the others can appear in Jiangbei as scheduled and march towards Xiaogushan, they can recall the Ninth Learning Brigade. Now Forget it."
At Zhoutou, on a piece of sand that seemed to have just been reclaimed, a pile of soil was pushed open by something. The next moment, a cadet wearing a camouflage helmet emerged from the ground. Perhaps he had been in the darkness for a long time. His eyes suddenly came into contact with the magnesium light emitted by the flare. He was so dizzy that he almost fell to the ground.
"Xiao Wu, how are you?" Another camouflage-colored helmet emerged from the ground.
Xiao Wu closed his eyes and rolled them twice, then opened them again and said: "Travel seat, there are flares everywhere in the sky, the little Japs must be crossing the river."
The "passenger seat" was none other than Liu Zheliang. As soon as he got to the ground, he was also stimulated by the magnesium light and couldn't open his eyes. After closing his eyes for a while, he opened his eyes again, then picked up the telescope and went up to a high ground. The next moment, His face became serious, and he turned around and shouted: "Brothers, hurry up and get into the fighting position. Xiao Wu, take a few people to the No. 002 air raid shelter and ask Yan Liang and the others to withdraw to the fifth defense line immediately."
"Yes." Xiao Wu immediately ran away,
The No. 001 air raid shelter where Liu Zheliang and the others were hiding collapsed during the shelling. At least one company of soldiers was crushed under the soil. This made his heart feel as heavy as a stone. He was worried about Yan Liang. The same situation occurred in No. 002 Air Raid Shelter where they were hiding, so they asked their guard platoon leader Wu Batian to check it out.
The surviving officers and soldiers of the 6th and 7th Battalions of the 302nd Regiment climbed out of the air-raid shelter one after another. The shelling just now completely destroyed the temporary lighting system in the No. 001 air-raid shelter. The cadets suddenly appeared from the dark world in the wilderness as bright as day. , everyone was very uncomfortable with the sudden change in the environment. The first reaction of many people after climbing out of the air-raid shelter was to throw themselves on the ground.
"Brothers, stop lying down, look for bomb craters and prepare to fight. The Japs are coming." Some company and platoon leaders organized the soldiers to enter some huge bomb craters. Just about 800 meters away from the river, there was a tug of war. The sound of gun bolts sounded, and in just five minutes, on the position that was originally covered with trenches and traffic trenches, the students who had just recovered from their fatigue were ready for battle.
Suddenly, the explosions of grenades sounded one after another. The grenades fired by the Little Japanese mortars on the other side of the Jiajiang River began to explode irregularly near the riverside, and then extended further in depth.
One after another, the cadets were directly hit by grenades. Then, with a loud noise, their young lives turned into flesh and blood and irrigated the land.
In just ten minutes, at least one platoon of cadets was killed due to direct hits from grenades, and a company was injured. This made Liu Zheliang's face become more and more grim.
