Lieutenant Nakata suddenly felt the hairs all over his body stand up. This was the feeling of a prey being targeted by a hunter...
"Enemy attack!"
"puff"
Li Guoping pulled the trigger of the hand crossbow, and a sharp arrow hit him in the face. The powerful kinetic energy almost caused the arrow to pass through his big head, sending him directly to see Amaterasu.
"Puff puff……"
Arrows were fired at several Japanese sentries, killing them easily without making too much noise.
After solving the Japanese night guard post, 30 Tiger members from Li Guoping's team entered Lin Town like ghosts;
Ten minutes later, they entered the Japs' barracks, and a killing began under the cover of darkness. The Japs were sent to the "divine toilet" one by one in their sleep...
I can only blame them for coming to a place they shouldn't be, and they will always have to pay back if they come out to fool around!
A small group of Japs were quietly killed. When Li Guoping cut the last Japs' neck with a dagger, he was still a little unsatisfied. He now enjoyed the pleasure of reaping the lives of the Japs.
Half an hour later, when Chu Xiong and others arrived, there was not a single Japanese in the entire town.
After Chu Xiong and the new regiment arrived at Lin Town, they discussed the preparations for crossing the river. He said to Captain Zhang:
"Captain Zhang, all the boats in the town have been sunk into the river by the Japanese. Now we can only cut down trees and build rafts to cross the river;
The flow of water at Linzhen Ferry is stable. As long as the raft is strong enough, it can completely carry the main force across the river.
There are many old boatmen in Lin Town. We need to mobilize them to help us cross the river. After that, we must remember to give them some more silver dollars as reward. "
Following Chu Xiong's order, the advance team began to move, cutting down trees, mobilizing the masses, and building rafts overnight to prepare to cross the river. The "Jinghong" action team was responsible for the vigilance.
When the fellows in the town learned that the New Fourth Army was going to cross the river, they came over to help one after another. They spread the word to ten, and then almost all the fellows in the town came to help on their own initiative;
Many fellow villagers also contributed the door panels of their homes. From this, it can be seen that the New Fourth Army still has a very good mass foundation in Jiangnan. Soldiers and people are the foundation of victory!
Everyone gathered firewood and the new group built more than 100 strong rafts in just two hours with the help of fellow villagers;
Each raft is made of more than twenty pine logs tied together. In order to increase stability, many door panels are also laid on it.
One raft can carry a group of people and equipment at a time, and more than 100 rafts can carry a group at a time, and the round trip takes half an hour;
More than 7,000 people from the military headquarters (excluding more than 1,800 people from the old regiment) and the secret service group's cover and logistics agencies also arrived. It would take at least 3 hours for them all to cross the river.
Although the river in Linzhen is relatively gentle, it is still very dangerous to cross the river at night. You must wait until dawn at least before setting off.
At 4:30 in the morning, troops from the military headquarters arrived one after another, and the rafts for crossing the river were prepared. All the fellow villagers in the town who knew how to operate the rafts came over. There were 127 people in total, all of whom were boatmen who made a living by ferrying.
"Political Commissar, it's still dark and it's too dangerous to cross the river. I suggest crossing the river on time at 5:30. Ask Chief of Staff Zhou to arrange the steps for crossing the river. About one regiment can cross the river at a time."
After meeting the political commissar and others, Chu Xiong briefly introduced the situation at the ferry and gave suggestions.
A few people get together to discuss the matter of crossing the river. A large operation involving thousands of people, the more carefully planned it is, the less the price will be paid;
Because after daybreak, various uncertain factors will appear, such as the Japanese bombers, the river defense gunboats, the Japanese and puppet troops on the other side, etc.
The final agreed sequence for crossing the river was:
New First Regiment, Military Logistics Agency, Special Agent Regiment, Old Third Regiment, New Third Regiment, New Fifth Regiment, etc.
Chu Xiong's action team crossed the river with the new regiment. After crossing the river, they immediately established an artillery position, set up the Wei Shen cannon, and were ready to face the Japanese gunboats on the river. Of course, it was best not to do so.
Soon it was 5:30 in the morning. Perhaps God blessed the New Fourth Army. The morning fog on the river was not very large, and the visual distance could reach dozens of meters. After consulting the old boatmen for their opinions, the first batch of troops began to cross the river.
Chu Xiong jumped onto a raft first, followed closely behind by sniper Meng Jiaqi. As long as Chu Xiong came out, she would basically serve as a guard.
"Xiao Meng, can you swim?"
Meng Jiaqi rolled her eyes and replied disdainfully:
"Brigadier, who do you look down on? I grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River after all. My father taught me when I was a child and also trained me in Shu."
Chu Xiong seemed to remember that this place was not far from Jinling. He said to Meng Jiaqi:
"Xiao Meng, we will definitely fight back to the south of the Yangtze River in the future. At that time, a million troops will cross the river and drive all the Japs into the sea to feed the bastards."
Meng Jiaqi nodded heavily. She had been waiting for this day since she joined the Eighth Route Army. She believed that Chu Xiong would be able to do it. This was a man born for miracles!
"The wind and rain in Zhongshan turned yellow, and millions of troops crossed the river.
The tiger sits on the dragon's plate. The present is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down. It is generous and generous.
It is better to use your remaining courage to chase the poor bandits, not to use your reputation as an academic overlord.
If heaven has feelings, it will also grow old, and the right path in the world will undergo vicissitudes of life. "
As the Yangtze River flows eastward, hundreds of companies vie with each other, thinking that the nine thousand martyrs who should have perished in the mountains of southern Anhui are now crossing the river in a mighty way to the north, like a hidden dragon entering the sea, out of control...
When these nine thousand seed troops cross Jiangbei, they will definitely be able to pull out hundreds of thousands of troops in a few years. Chu Xiong's butterfly wings once again changed history;
This made him excited and motivated, and he couldn't help but recite this majestic poem, but it was a little inappropriate for the occasion.
"Brigadier, it's so wet, but Zhongshan seems to be in Jinling..."
Only then did Chu Xiong realize that he had gone too far with his pretense. He could steal anyone's poems, but the one who won would definitely not be able to do so. He blushed for a rare moment and said:
"That's nonsense. Just forget it after listening to it. The weather is nice this morning!"
"If heaven has feelings, it will also grow old, and the right path in the world will be vicissitudes of life."
Meng Jiaqi groaned softly, and her eyes looking at Chu Xiong were as hazy as the fog on the river...
"Comrades of the New Fourth Army, we have arrived at the shore. We are waiting for you in Jiangnan to fight back as soon as possible!"
"Fellow, thank you. The day we can fight back to Jiangnan won't be too far away. Wait until we come back!"
Chu Xiong was both a promise to his fellow villagers and a spur to himself. Thousands of ordinary people in the occupied areas were looking forward to them fighting back to Jiangnan and driving away the Japanese. What reason did he have to slack off?
Chu Xiong jumped lightly to the land of Jiangbei, and also jumped out of being surrounded by stubborn troops and Japanese soldiers.
After the new regiments landed one after another, they quickly established defensive positions and seized the commanding heights;
The first battalion was in the center, the second and third battalions guarded the two wings, and successfully established a foothold;
Chu Xiong's action team also began to look for favorable terrain and set up the Wei Shen Cannon. The last 12 shells were loaded into the barrel, just in case.
The fellow villagers maneuvered the raft back to the other side to pick up the second group of people to cross the river;
At 7:10 in the morning, the logistics organization successfully crossed the river, and Chu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief...
At 8:50 in the morning, a Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over the river. Naturally, the army crossing the river could not escape their eyes.
"Bagaya Road, the New Fourth Army has crossed the river, go back quickly!"
Since the Japanese reconnaissance plane appeared, the atmosphere has become tense. It is not known when the Japanese bomber group will appear. There is also a regiment on the other side of the river, so we must seize the time;
time is life!
