The Republic of Heroes

Hu Zongnan's First Brigade belongs to the First Division of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the current commander is Liu Zhi.On the surface, the interpersonal relationship seems simple, but it is not. The First Army is the foundation of He Yingqin's career.During the Nanjing period, it was well known that Commander Wu and Chief He were at odds. Now at this critical moment, a sensitive person accidentally hit the headquarters. Wu Xiaoliang, it is even more intriguing to kill two birds with one stone with ulterior motives.

But now that the battle is urgent, who cares to think about the reason?

"Brother Yin Guo, Brother Yi Ru, don't mention the matter of retreating again. If the Japanese army easily captures Changshu, it will further increase their arrogance. At that time, the Jiangyin and Wuxi defense lines will face greater pressure. Once the second line of defense is taken. Break through, and the city of Nanjing will no longer be exposed to the Japanese army. At that time..."

Wu Xiaoliang's heart skipped a beat. In his previous life's impression, the first Songhu War of Resistance revolved around Shanghai from beginning to end. Didn't he hear that they came to Nanjing?At most, there were warships going upstream along the Yangtze River and bombarding the city of Nanjing.But now several divisions are attacking the direction of Nanjing, what is the Japanese going to do?In case the line of defense is breached, let them drive directly to Nanjing. Could it be that there is still a Nanjing massacre?

Yang Xiaoou and Song Xilian had never seen Wu Xiaoliang get stuck in speech, did they think of something when they lost their composure today?But this time, the two of them didn't expect to go together. When the three of them were thinking about their own affairs, there was a commotion outside the cordon of the headquarters.

"Commander, they are the liaison personnel sent by the First Brigade."

Wu Xiaoliang nodded and said:

"Let them in."

A tall major came striding over, Wu Xiaoliang saw him and secretly praised: What a heroic and handsome man.

"Zhang Zhonglin, commander of the third battalion of the second regiment of the first brigade of the first division, has met Chief Song!"

After finishing speaking, he stood at attention and gave a standard military salute to Song Xilian. In his eyes, only Song Xilian, Wu Xiaoliang and Yang Xiaoou were like air.Song Xilian returned the salute with a little embarrassment, knowing that the First Division is all arrogant soldiers from Whampoa who inevitably looked down on the local warlords who came from the sidelines, so he scolded with a straight face: "It's disrespectful, how did the military academy teach you? Have you met Commander Wu and Commander Yang?"

The major battalion commander Zhang Zhonglin smiled, showing his neat white teeth, and saluted the two of them again.

"I've met Officer Wu and Officer Yang!"

Wu Xiaoliang saw that the other party was just a major and battalion commander, and he had the air of an arrogant soldier and a mighty general. In contrast, Yan and Feng couldn't see this kind of atmosphere in the army, so he sighed secretly that Jiang Zhongzheng would be like this. The unification of the North and the South was by no means a matter of luck.

Yang Xiaoou smiled, and said with a pun: "Zhang Battalion Commander is an outstanding talent, and his future is limitless!"

Song Xilian asked, "Lingfu is here because Hu Shoushan has something important to do?"

When Wu Xiaoliang heard that Song Xilian called the major Lingfu, his heart skipped a beat. Could this person be Zhang Lingfu, the well-known commander of the Reorganized 74th Division in his previous life?In the previous life, I heard that Zhang Lingfu was a tall, handsome and beautiful man. It seems that he is inseparable from each other, but why are his names and characters reversed?According to the custom of the Republic of China era, calling oneself by name and addressing others by words, how did Zhang Lingfu call Zhang Zhonglin?

Zhang Zhonglin did not avoid people, and replied: "Brigadier Song, the brigade commander went directly to Hejiabang, and the brigade commander Huang of the second brigade will also arrive shortly thereafter, preparing to flank the Japanese army at Hejiabang. The brigade commander hopes that you will lead the teaching team." Secure the way back."

After finishing speaking, he took out a letter from the briefcase and handed it over respectfully.

"This is the brigade commander's own letter, please sign it personally, Commander Song!"

Song Xilian took the letter and asked again: "Can you explain anything else?"

"no!"

Zhang Zhonglin's answer was crisp and clear, and then he said: "The battle ahead is tight, if Chief Song has no other orders, Zhong Lin will leave now!"

Song Xilian waved his hand to indicate that he could leave, Zhang Zhonglin strode away again, seriously treating Wu Xiaoliang and Yang Xiaoou as air.

Yang Xiaoou finally couldn't help sighing: "What a domineering major, what a proud soldier!"

"Oh-oh-oh-oh-"

The rooster had already started crowing, and dawn was approaching. After this episode, Song and Yang no longer insisted on withdrawing troops. The three turned their heads and went back to the house, and then discussed how to arrange the defense line to support Hu Zongnan's first brigade.

In the battle, Hu Zongnan's first brigade and Huang Jie's second brigade crossed Changshu and went straight to the front line of Hejiabang. A bloody battle was just around the corner...

……

As the sky was about to light up, Yu Sanhe's brows twitched suddenly, and he was about to go back to the headquarters bunker, when a sound of piercing the sky rushed across the river and headed straight for Wusong Fortress.

"not good!"

It was the Japanese naval artillery, and then the mountains shook for a while. The powerful air waves seemed to come from all directions. Yu Sanhe was thrown up and brushed heavily on the ground. I also fell so badly that it took me a long time to get up from the ground.

The artillery captain's face was pale, and he stammered: "It's too scary! This power is at least more than a [-]-inch cannon. Difficult, could it be..."

Yu Sanhe didn't know why, so he said anxiously: "Could it be what?"

"The Japanese army dispatched battleships!"

The artillery captain was born in a professional class, and he knows all kinds of cannons and battleship guns like the back of his hand. What else can this powerful bombardment be besides a battleship?The interval between a battleship salvo is no more than 3 minutes at most, and returning to the bunker is tantamount to suicide, not to mention whether it can be hit by fragments on the road, but the quality of the bunker is vulnerable.The artillery captain dragged Yu Sanhe towards the nearest crater.

Just as the three of them jumped in, the sound of explosions breaking through the air and distance sounded again, and the entire Wusong Fortress was suddenly as bright as daylight and as miserable as Abi Hell.The situation has come to this point, and any arrangements have become superfluous. All we can do is to cover our heads and hide from the bombardment of the Japanese battleships, and then climb out of the ruins to meet the Japanese infantry in a brand new dawn. attack.

Eight [-]-inch naval guns can tilt several tons of shells in one salvo. The power is so great that continuous shooting for an hour is enough to level a hill, let alone a small Wusong fortress. , blowing up all the buildings exposed above the ground in Wusong Fortress into rubble,

The mere flesh and blood seemed so small and fragile under such a terrifying bullet rain. Yu Sanhe couldn't remember when he lost consciousness. The rubble, gravel, and soil drilled out, and the open spaces beside the playground have been gathered one after another.

The night of shelling did not break the backbone and morale of these passionate men. They still held up their rifles tenaciously, ready to face the next attack of the Japanese army at any time.
