At this time, everyone in Jiangyin Fortress admired the special envoy's Dragon Boat Festival.

The veterans grinned, and they had never seen such a war since they were born.

Originally, the soldiers of the 112th Division thought that when the Japanese army attacked, the Jiangyin Fortress would be a fierce battle. But what they did not expect was that it was so vulnerable in the Japanese attacks one after another.

Grandma, it’s unclear how many Japanese killed the Japanese from the beginning of the war, but it must be much heavier than the 672nd Regiment and the Jiangyin Garrison, right?

The 672nd Regiment and the garrison troops have suffered less than one hundred casualties since the war started. This is unimaginable for everyone.

To this end, Commander Huo of the 112th Division also specifically reminded the field hospital to be prepared to receive a large number of casualties.

But the war had been fighting for 12 hours, and only a dozen seriously injured people were sent in, and the rest were fine if they bandaged the positions.

The doctors and nurses in the battlefield hospital were a little stunned and happy.

It was shocked because there were so few wounded people and joy was that there were no wounded people, which means that the 112th Division won the battle.

After asking carefully, I realized that everything was the safety of the special commissioner.

The young nurse from the battlefield hospital suddenly started to talk:

"Who is that commissioner?"

"Yes, I heard that I'm still very young!"

"Are I young, I'm 21 years old?"

"Haha, you are already an old girl at the age of 21, and you still have to be younger than the other special commissioner?"

"Hate!"

The 21-year-old girl blushed, but at this moment, she didn't want anyone to say, "Ask Yang Yang. I remember Yang Yang wanted to serve that special envoy."

“Serve?”

More than a dozen young nurses showed evil thoughts at the same time.

Yang Yang said angrily: "What is serving? It's so ugly? It's called taking care of it. Do you understand care?"

"Explanation is to cover up, and concealment is to be dishonest. Say, have you done anything to that commissioner?"

More than a dozen young nurses joined forces to scratch Yang Yang, and they started to fight in the battlefield hospital.

But it is precisely because of their idle fighting that this victory is even more relaxed.

But at the same time, Dragon Boat Festival is not as easy as these young nurses. The Japanese bombing of Jiangyin Fortress was not over, and the next time, it may not be so easy to deal with.

The Japanese are not fools either. They will definitely change their tactics after suffering two losses in a row.

Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival had to make a new response. He ordered each of the four regiments of the 112th Division to send a battalion to guard the position, change defenses every two hours, and send open and secret whistles as a warning. The rest of the people were still resting in the air-raid shelters in their respective positions.

Dragon Boat Festival was patrolling the position with Zhou Weiguo with a Type 38 rifle.

The 672nd Regiment's position was still seriously damaged. Dragon Boat Festival ordered the soldiers of the 672nd Regiment to repair the damaged position and told them that a good fortification is the guarantee of life. If you want to bleed less during war, you should make more efforts when repairing the position.

If this were the case, I'm afraid these veterans would have sneered at it, because even the deepest trench could be filled under the enemy's shells.

But at this time, the words of Dragon Boat Festival were like imperial edicts, and everyone was willing to obey.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the soldiers who were tired and sweating profusely but were still digging the trenches and sighed in his heart: "I often say this to the soldiers, but I always complain when I hear it. Grandma, I don't know what's going on."

Dragon Boat Festival said: "This is the art of language. Lao Zhou is not talking about you, you are stupid."

“···············"

Zhou Weiguo was speechless and thought to himself: Are you quite real?

However, Zhou Weiguo had to admit that he was indeed a little lazy and didn't want to say some of them, and he only expressed them with actions.

But this is born, what can he do?

But speaking of this, he was curious about Dragon Boat Festival except for kicking him. Because he had never heard of Dragon Boat Festival in the army before. Not to mention it at the Whampoa Military Academy, if there were such an excellent young officer as Dragon Boat Festival, the school would have spread long ago.

He asked, "Where did my brother study?"

“Self-taught.”

Dragon Boat Festival answered proudly. These are all old questions. Zhou Weiguo once asked this, so the Dragon Boat Festival answered smoothly.

“Self-taught?”

Zhou Weiguo was a little unbelievable.

At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival said disdainfully: "If you don't believe it, forget it, I am that genius child. I practiced guns at the age of three, and that year I was in one man and gun as soon as I started it. I was familiar with military tactics at the age of four, and I was proficient in all arrangements. I practiced body at the age of five, forged a body of Vajra, and studied abroad at the age of six, traveled all over Japan, Britain, Germany, France, and America.

When I returned to China at the age of seven, I was already proficient in many foreign languages ​​in French, German, English and Japanese.

When I was eight years old, I read a lot of books and looked for the meaning of life...

When I was nine years old, I felt sick of the world because I was already standing at the top of this world. I hid in the mountains to practice, be a free cloud and wild crane, and I had nothing to do, reclaimed a wasteland, planted some potatoes and corn,..."

"puff!"

After hearing this, Zhou Weiguo almost spit out an old blood. All the words before were nonsense, but the last sentence was true, and he was a farmer who was farming.

And there was no truth in Dragon Boat Festival, so Zhou Weiguo didn't ask. He was originally a taciturn person and was even less good at communicating with others.

But he still said strangely: "How did you know about me?"

What Zhou Weiguo refers to is the story of Yang Guo told in the Dragon Boat Festival. The protagonist in the story is obviously him. He killed a foreign clan for a female classmate and was shot to death. I used gold bars to rescue him, which would be almost the number of gold bars.

So Zhou Weiguo was very curious about this because not many people knew the whole story.

But the Dragon Boat Festival was made up, cleared his throat and said, "Because my cousin's surname is Chen!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Puff!"

Zhou Weiguo vomited blood again, making it more certain that what Dragon Boat Festival said was true.

Zhou Weiguo pondered for a moment, frowned, and didn't know where to put one hand. He wanted to know where Chen Yi was, but he refused in his heart. After all, in his heart, Chen Yi betrayed him.

He almost lost his head for Chen Yi, but Chen Yi married Zhang Chu in a blink of an eye. This is something he can't forgive.

But in his heart, this was another unresolvable knot.

Dragon Boat Festival looked at Zhou Weiguo with a tangled expression and found it funny. But he didn't want to tell him. Because if Dragon Boat Festival told him the truth, Zhou Weiguo would probably be even more confused. How could he choose a fiancée plus a first love? Maybe he would be so entangled that he might not be sure.

So Dragon Boat Festival patted Zhou Weiguo on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, the battle has not been finished yet, so why are you talking about in the future?"

The Dragon Boat Festival means that you will think about these things after the war is over. But Zhou Weiguo misunderstood. He thinks that the Dragon Boat Festival means: "His cousin has married Zhang Chu, so he can stop thinking about it."

Zhou Weiguo thought about it, so, Chen Yi had already chosen Zhang Chu, so even if he knew where she was now, what could he do?

"You are right. If you have any questions, let's wait until we defeat the Japanese!"

Zhou Weiguo echoed and said, "You said, can this Jiangyin Fortress be defended?"

"snort!"

Dragon Boat Festival sneered and said: "If the Xicheng line can block the Japanese and Jiangyin Fortress has sufficient ammunition, there is no problem to guard Jiangyin Fortress.

However, there were not many shells in Jiangyin Fortress. I asked Commander Huo. Commander Huo told me that the 310mm and 300mm domestic Krupp howitzers with a large caliber are less than 150 shells, and the remaining heavy artillery shells are less than 1,000. Most of these cannons are imported. Even if they want to replenish them in the rear, they will have to wait three months before they can be transported.

Our chairman also wanted to dismantle the 150mm Krupp cannon he purchased and transport it back to Nanjing. That's a joke. What's the use of transporting a bunch of rags back to Nanjing? Will there be any supplements after the shells are exhausted?

Therefore, Jiangyin Fortress cannot be defended. If it is to be defended, the first thing is to see whether there are reinforcements from Jiangyin Fortress, and the second thing is to see how long the shells from Jiangyin Fortress can last. Otherwise, let alone one 112th Division, even two more divisions will not be enough for the Japanese to bomb.

And if I was not mistaken, tomorrow would be a tough battle, and the Japanese army would launch a crazy offensive against Jiangyin Fortress in three-dimensional space, land and air.

But the most important thing is whether the tin clarity wire can hold on, which is the key to the problem.

I just received some war reports.”

Speaking of this, Dragon Boat Festival was full of skills behind him, and he nodded and bowed, and quickly handed over a military map, and took out a flashlight to shine it on Dragon Boat Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival spread the map on the ground and went to Zhou Wei National Highway: "The battle report I received was that on the 21st, the Japanese divisions had officially begun to attack the Xicheng Line.

The pursuing troops of the 9th Division of the Japanese army still attempted to break through Wangting and point straight to Wuxi.

The 1st Battalion of the 19th Regiment launched an attack on Wangting in the morning. The 51st Division, which was defending the north shore, strengthened the position at night and increased its troops, so the resistance became more fierce.

The Japanese brigade commander sent a squadron to cross the river using civilian boats, but found that all nearby ships had been controlled by our army, so the squadron had to continue searching along the river bank to the northeast.

The only way for the Japanese main force to cross the river is to forcefully break through the iron bridge.

At 10 a.m., the Japanese army launched eight heavy machine guns and fired violently at our positions on the iron bridge. Half an hour later, eight infantry artillery fired together and fired until 12 a.m.

Our army on the bridge gradually disappeared, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to launch an assault, seized the bridgehead position, and launched an attack on the north shore.

At 13 o'clock, part of the 51st Division retreated to the village on the east side of the North Bank Highway to shoot fiercely at the Japanese army, causing their advance to be blocked again, and there was no breakthrough after fierce battles all day long.

In the evening of that day, a brigade of the 36th Regiment arrived. The two brigades were commanded by the 36th Regiment Captain Hashijiro and attacked the entire line of our army on the east and west front lines of the village. However, under the strong resistance of the 51st Division, they still could not move forward.

The weather suddenly changed at night and it started to rain heavily. The Japanese army had to stop attacking and wait for dawn. The 1st Battalion of the 19th Regiment suffered dozens of casualties in the battle that day.

The main force of the 16th Division, the backbone of the Japanese attack, entered the area east of Huoshan, the forward position of the Xicheng National Defense Line on the morning of the 21st.

Defending the Huoshan and its north and south areas were Wan Yaohuang's 13th Division and Peng Shan's 11th Division. The defenders had destroyed all the bridges in advance and occupied permanent bunker fortifications on the river bank. When the Japanese vanguard approached, they suddenly opened fire violently, causing heavy casualties.

After stabilizing the position of the command post of Nakajima Imao, he attacked the front of the 38th Regiment and the southern highway with the 20th Regiment, and detoured south with the 33rd Regiment.

The Japanese artillery desperately suppressed our bunkers, and the battles between the two sides were extremely fierce, and hand-to-hand combat occurred many times.

The position of the 31st Brigade of the 11th Division was in a hurry, and the 65th and 66th Regiments of the 33rd Brigade on the second line immediately launched a large-scale counterattack on the Japanese army. The brigade commander of the 31st Brigade took the lead in charge and repelled the Japanese army.

Until the afternoon of the battle, the 16th Division was still unable to break through the Hushan defense line. At 16:50, when the 1st Battalion of the 20th Regiment captured the front line of Dakutou, it was immediately shot fiercely by the 13th Division, the commanding heights of the Hushan, which made it difficult for the Japanese army to move forward further...

So in general, there is no problem with the Xicheng Line for the time being. But it will not be necessary in two days. So we have to prepare early. If possible, you can rest in Jiangyin for one night, and tomorrow you will take the remaining troops of the 40th Division back to Nanjing, and while resting and rebuilding the fortifications."

Zhou Weiguo said in surprise: "Rebuild the fortifications? Are there urban fortifications in Nanjing?"

Dragon Boat Festival curled his lips and said, "Young man, why do you think the Japanese can be so powerful all the way? That's because the Japanese know China better than we Chinese. Nanjing's city defense map was probably placed on Matsui Ishien's desk for a long time."
