Chapter 573 Defending Nanjing ([-])

When the white belly began to appear in the east, Guo Haijun stretched his waist in a small forest to the west of Huangshan, rubbed his red eyes, looked around and said: "It's dawn, I can't work anymore."

Guo Haijun is a battalion commander of the 14th Regiment of the 40th Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Second Military Academy.Because he had worked as a carpenter before joining the army, he was entrusted with the important task of being the "supervisor" of their regiment.

When Ouyang Yun delivered this order, most of the officers and soldiers of the fifth division had not received any training in this area, so they all thought that the little chief was trying to torment people again.The reason why they have such an idea is that on the one hand, they can't understand the purpose of making these wooden cannons, and on the other hand, they have been tossed like this before.What impressed everyone the most was the kind of civil engineering work. The standard of excellence turned out to be that one person dug out a single-soldier bunker for half an hour.

Guo Haijun had participated in a short training course for officers, and his graduation grades were excellent, so he could understand the arrangement of the little officer, and under his leadership, the brothers of the 40th regiment who participated in this assignment worked hard and spent most of the night So far, an air defense position has been successfully built with wood.

"The camp! I don't think it looks like it!" Zhang Bancheng, one of his company commanders, opened his arms and said with a frown as he looked at the work that his brothers had worked on all night.

Guo Haijun shook his head and said, "Of course it doesn't look like it up close, but if you look at it from a distance, it is definitely an air defense position. By the way, are the firecrackers ready? The personnel who set off the firecrackers have to be screened. What a fool to do this job—the commander said, this is a technical job!"

"What kind of technical work, I think it's like a child's play!" Zhang Bancheng muttered disapprovingly.According to his thinking, instead of being busy working on this thing in the middle of the night, it is better to let the brothers recharge their batteries and prepare for the battle during the day.Because he knew that since he was busy enough at night, he couldn't participate in the battle during the day.Although the brothers were very enthusiastic about participating in the exhibition, and many of them even produced blood books or something, there were only two Qubing general-purpose machine guns in a squad, and they were enough to form an anti-aircraft firepower when connected together, and three people were enough.

Although Zhang Bancheng's voice was lowered, Guo Haijun still heard it.He glared at him fiercely, and shouted: "You are just uneducated, well, I will definitely get you into the next short training class. Your tactical quality is too poor, so there is no way to improve—ah! It's the commander! Did you see it, the commander came over to inspect it himself, he attaches great importance to this!"

Not far away, Ouyang Yun came over accompanied by Li Hanhun and others. He was very satisfied when he saw the "anti-aircraft artillery" erected in the forest, and asked Li Hanhun: "Who is responsible for this? picture!"

"It's the 40th regiment, and the supervisor is Guo Haijun. His carpentry skills are good, and he brought people to make the furniture in my house!"

"Ha!" Ouyang Yun laughed: "So that's the case, feelings are overkill!"

While they were talking, Guo Haijun, Zhang Bancheng and others arranged their clothes and greeted them.Salute and shout loudly: "Commander, Commander! Military Seat!"

Ouyang Yun and others returned the salute, he smiled and asked, "Who is Guo Haijun!"

Guo Haijun took a step forward and saluted loudly: "Here!"

Ouyang Yun took a step forward, thumped him hard on the chest, and said: "Dude, you did a good job. I changed positions a few times, and you guys did the best. Well, when this battle is over, I'm going to promote you." job."

Suddenly receiving such a compliment, Guo Haijun's black face flushed red, he was so excited that he sweated, and he said excitedly: "Commander, my humble job will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Patting him on the shoulder, and asking about the layout of the actual battle, Ouyang Yun left with Li Hanhun and others satisfied.

There are a total of seven such false positions, three of which are half-truths and half-false, in which at least fifty anti-aircraft machine guns and nearly twenty anti-aircraft guns are hidden.

The reason why Ouyang Yun wanted to arrange it this way was because his purpose of setting up these false positions was not entirely to confuse the Japanese army, but to create the illusion that under the heavy bombing of the Japanese planes, the defenders' air defense firepower was severely damaged. So that it is no longer a threat.In this way, the fleet can be used as bait to lure the Japanese army into a large-scale attack.And when that time really comes, it is estimated that the Guangdong headquarters will be ready for the L-19 to be dispatched. At the same time, high-end weapons such as rockets have also been sent over.

Perhaps the loss last night was too great. In the morning, not only did the Japanese army not send warships to carry out long-range artillery attacks, but they did not even send out reconnaissance planes to investigate the enemy's situation.

The unusual calm made Ouyang Yun feel a little uneasy. He knew that this was most likely the short tranquility before the storm——

At one o'clock in the afternoon, when Ouyang Yun was communicating with Chen Shaokuan and other naval generals, Liu Zheliang suddenly rushed in and shouted at the door, "Commander, a large group of enemy planes have been spotted at the observation post in the distance."

Ouyang Yun immediately stood up and said to everyone: "It's finally here, generals, prepare to fight according to what we have discussed!"

The reason why Ouyang Yun went to the Ministry of the Navy was because he wanted the other party to cooperate with his actions as a bait.According to his plan, the Xuebing Army will shrink the thirteen air defense positions into three within three days depending on the size of the Japanese army's fleet, so as to attract the Japanese army to dispatch ships to cooperate with fighter planes to carry out large-scale attack operations.Among the thirteen anti-aircraft positions, seven are fake, which are sure to be blown up by Japanese planes, and the real six will gradually hide three to confuse the Japanese army.In the first two days of air defense operations, the firepower output will be mainly completed by the ground forces, while on the third day, the navy will play the main role.At that time, the Xuebing Army will deploy the anti-aircraft firepower of the two regiments on the ships, so that the Japanese army will misunderstand that the ground anti-aircraft firepower of the fortress has been completely destroyed, and they have to rely entirely on the firepower of the fleet.

As soon as Ouyang Yun announced his plan, he was opposed by almost everyone in the navy.No wonder, it sounds good to use tricks to defend against the enemy, but what about the real situation?Even if this strategy succeeds, the navy will suffer unprecedented losses.The Japanese army only dispatched naval aviation a few days ago, and the fleet has already lost two capital ships, which forced the Chinese navy, which also has dozens of ships, to retreat into the range of the fortress's air defense firepower.Even so, fierce blows from the air were still unavoidable.Just imagine, if the enemy's sea and air attacks are two-way, then the navy's family background is not enough for the opponent's teeth.When drinking with Chen Shaokuan last night, Ouyang Yun had already proposed this plan, and at that time, Chen Shaokuan agreed.But he obviously didn't have the power to make decisions, so in the face of the unanimous voices of opposition from the captains of all the ships, he only said "Listen to what Commander Ouyang has to say" and then lost his voice.

Ouyang Yun understood their thoughts.With history as a guide, he clearly knows that the destruction of the naval fleet is only a matter of time, because no matter how long the Nanjing Battle can be dragged on, it will definitely shrink across the board in the end.At that time, once they leave the protection of the army, these naval ships, which can only enter the ports in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River at most, will definitely become living targets and be chased and bombed by Japanese aviation.However, after all, they are "partners" who face many suns and moons day and night, but this feeling is hard to let go.He weighed his words and said: "Everyone, the following words may not sound very pleasant, but it is a fact we have to face-the fall of Nanjing is only a matter of time. At that time, once the committee issues an order to retreat, May I ask, can your ships survive alone? I am also quite sad that the navy of a great country has been forced to such an extent in my own home—not only the ships of the navy, but also the ships that are currently fighting For the army officers and soldiers on the front line, how many of the more than [-] people can survive? This is a sad question! It is us, who knows how many people can survive? I am not alarmist—this is a national war. As a soldier, it is an honor to dedicate one's life to it. People are going to die anyway. Instead of kneeling to die, it is better to straighten your chest and pull more backs. You may think I am talking sarcastic, but I can guarantee , even if you make sacrifices, it must be worth the money, and our army of apprentices will definitely help you get it back with interest!..."

What Ouyang Yun said is not only a fact, but also a very simple truth.It is impossible for everyone here not to understand, and their subconscious voice of opposition is actually just a kind of inertia of unwillingness to fate.

yes!It is both sad and humiliating for the navy of a great country to be humiliated by the invaders at home.Sadness can be healed by time, but humiliation can only be washed away with blood—whether the blood of the enemy or your own, as a man, he should straighten his chest—even if he dies, he must be upright.

The meeting room was temporarily silent, but the smell of cigarettes suddenly became stronger.

The cigarettes were brought over by Ouyang Yun. The products of the Great Wall Tobacco Company under Xue Bingjun, because there are filters on the tails, are currently a luxury that is in short supply.Chen Hongtai, the captain of the Ninghai Ship, looked at Ouyang Yun while swallowing his clouds.A few minutes later, he took a deep breath, spat it out, and said, "Commander Ouyang, just follow your plan! I only have one condition!"

Ouyang Yun smiled wryly, and said in his heart: "This battle is not fought for me, Ouyang Yun, and even put forward conditions!" He looked over calmly.

Chen Hongtai looked at the filter in his hand, raised his head and said, "Prepare us some more Great Wall cigarettes! How about it? It's not too much, right?!"

"Ha!" Ouyang Yun and others all laughed, including Chen Shaokuan, many people raised this question half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Ouyang Yun agreed without hesitation, and said: "Let's do this. In the name of the headquarters, we have brought a total of ten boxes this time. I will distribute five boxes to everyone."

Perhaps because cigarettes were used as a medium, when discussing the details, the atmosphere was very harmonious.And everyone had just finalized details such as the battle sequence when Liu Zheliang broke in.
