"well!"
In the Dongshan air-raid shelter of Jiangyin Fortress, the doctor in charge of Dragon Boat Festival sighed deeply.
Teacher Huo asked nervously: "How is it? How is it?"
Duanwu also looked at the doctor with some worry, because after all, this was about whether one leg would be high and the other low for the rest of his life.
The doctor frowned and sighed, and walked around in circles three times, with a look of bitterness and hatred. Anyone who looked at him would think that Dragon Boat Festival was definitely hopeless.
Both Duanwu and Mr. Huo were extremely nervous. After all, that was the second half of a person's life.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, the doctor suddenly laughed and said with a proud expression: "Hahaha! Thanks to my wonderful rejuvenation, I was prepared and added a noose in the plaster, otherwise the commissioner's leg would be useless. . But, it’s a little swollen, maybe it’s due to the blood being blocked due to exertion,..."
"Fuck you!"
The Dragon Boat Festival kicked the doctor in the ass, grandma, and scared me to death.
The doctor was kicked and still laughed, it was obvious that he did it on purpose. But he still warned: "Special Commissioner, you can't kick people with this leg anymore. Just sit here to reduce the swelling. I will have to seal your leg after a while. You keep moving around, but that leg can still be healed!" "
The doctor complained for a while, then packed up his things and left quickly. Because there were many wounded soldiers in the hospital, but there were only two or three doctors, plus a Japanese military doctor.
Just these four people, but there were more than 300 wounded.
And they treat it even faster. Because tonight, they will follow the Dragon Boat Festival and move to the rear.
Jiangyin Fortress is no longer safe. Even if the Japanese army does not continue to attack, Jiangyin Fortress cannot be defended.
Two days of fierce fighting caused a huge consumption of artillery shells in Jiangyin Fortress.
In addition to anti-aircraft weapons and ammunition being bottomed out, heavy artillery shells are also running low. And especially shells of 300mm and above.
Jiangyin Fortress originally had more than 300 artillery shells over 300 mm in reserve, but after two days of fierce fighting, there were only more than 80 200 mm artillery shells and 150 mm German cannons left. The total number of artillery shells increased. It's less than three hundred rounds.
Rapid-fire cannons, like anti-aircraft weapons, have fewer shells than those of heavy artillery. And especially in Dongshan, the consumption is the most serious. The shells of the rapid-fire cannon and the shells of the large-caliber artillery are almost bottomed out.
Commander Huo said: If this happens, we can only abandon Dongshan and Eshan, and the troops will stick to the main position of Huangshan.
Duanwu said: This is not a good plan. Eshan is related to the safety of the retreat route. Dongshan is the best location to block the channel.
Therefore, the artillery shells on Huangshan Mountain in the West Mountain and the movable heavy artillery should be moved to the Dongshan Fort.
The Xiaoshan Fort and the Eshan Fort only need to replenish part of their ammunition, so that they can have another battle with the Japanese army, and then the entire army retreats. As for all the artillery in Jiangyin Fortress, those who can be taken away will be taken away, and those who cannot be taken away will be blown up. .
In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival will also take away the 103rd Division to garrison in Changzhou to prepare for the response of the 112th Division and the garrison of Jiangyin Fortress.
Because of Duanwu's speculation, the Japanese army was very likely to cross the Xicheng Line and penetrate Changzhou at all costs to cut off the retreat of the Jiangyin Fortress defenders. As a result, the defenders of Jiangyin Fortress became alone. In the absence of ammunition and supplies, even if the Japanese army did not attack, the defenders would all die of hunger and lack of water.
Therefore, the Changzhou front line is very important. The 103rd Division will be placed there in advance during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it will be done without anyone noticing. He wanted to give the Japanese a surprise.
And he was not afraid of He Zhizhong's betrayal, because the Dragon Boat Festival drew a big cake for him.
He told He Zhizhong: He had already reported to the Chairman of the Standing Committee that the 103rd Division had joined the Central Army and became a direct lineage. The Chairman is welcoming, but Wang Wenhua is not so easy to talk to.
Therefore, the 103rd Division cannot return to Nanjing for the time being. After joining the 112th Division, they return to Nanjing to resume their duties together. This can be regarded as He Zhizhong filling in new merits. Then neither the Chairman nor Wang Wenhua have anything to say.
He Zhizhong didn't know the danger in Changzhou, and he fought hard to join the Central Army and become a direct lineage. He dared to jump through swords, mountains and seas of fire.
In addition, Duanwu equipped him with a full set of Japanese-style equipment, and the old boy was very excited and eager to fight with the little devil again.
So the plan for the Dragon Boat Festival was decided. The 112th Division and the original garrison continued to guard Jiangyin Fortress. Dragon Boat Festival, on the other hand, led the independent regiment, the field hospital of the 112th Division, and the 103rd Division quietly down the mountain around seven o'clock in the night, via Changzhou.
Changzhou is one of the gateways to Nanjing, and it is the only way for the Jiangyin Fortress defenders to retreat. Its strategic location is very important. Its defenders must also have at least one reinforced regiment.
Riding in a car during the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Beishan was driving.
Zhao Beishan said while driving: "If we drive all night, we can return to Nanjing before 12 o'clock tonight."
Duanwu said: "There is no rush. Let's stay in Changzhou tonight to let the soldiers rest. We will return to Nanjing early tomorrow morning. Don't make it look like the army was defeated and embarrass our Chinese soldiers."
"yes!"
Zhao Beishan responded and continued to drive his car.
The speed was not fast because there were a large number of officers and soldiers behind the car. And there were wounded people on the truck, and these people couldn't move quickly.
Duanwu looked back, then looked forward and said, "How long until we get to Changzhou?"
Zhao Beishan said: "If we continue like this, we will have to arrive in Changzhou after 10 o'clock at night."
Duanwu said: "No, if we go like this, we will have to find a place to sleep when we get to Changzhou. Maybe we won't be able to find such a place until dawn. Our independent regiment, as well as the 103rd Division, plus the doctors and nurses of the 112th Division, There are nearly 7,000 wounded soldiers, so we need a very big place."
Zhao Beishan said: "What does the special commissioner mean?"
Duanwu said: "Let's go first and make a stop in Changshu. Let the local officials in Changzhou find us a place to live and prepare food for us. In this way, we won't be delayed and can have a good sleep in Changzhou. .”
Zhao Beishan said: "Regiment leader, let the communications troops go?"
Duanwu said: "Humph, those local officials are a bunch of dogs who look down on others, and some of them have backgrounds. If I don't go, they won't be obedient. Tell the people behind us that we will leave first and let them wait slowly behind." Walk slowly and there will be meat to eat when you get to Changzhou."
"yes!"
Zhao Beishan responded, then stretched his left hand out of the car and patted the door.
Zhu Shengzhong stuck his head out from behind the truck and said, "What's the matter, Old Zhao?"
"Tell the cars behind us to walk to Changzhou Daqian Station first, and let them walk full of people behind. Don't worry, there will be meat to eat when we get to Changzhou."
Zhao Beishan repeated the words of the Dragon Boat Festival, and at this time Zhu Shengzhong happily shouted to the car behind: "The special commissioner has an order, you continue to walk slowly, we will go to the front to stand in front, and when we arrive in Changzhou, you will have meat to eat."
"Haha, there is meat to eat!"
The soldiers in the rear car were very happy, because many of them had not eaten delicious food in the past few months, let alone meat.
They smiled and continued to convey Duanwu's orders to the people behind them, while the truck Duanwu was in accelerated towards Changzhou.
Changzhou is more than 50 kilometers away from Jiangyin Fortress, and the road is a bit difficult. The drive takes about two hours.
At about nine o'clock that night, the Dragon Boat Festival truck drove outside the east gate of Changzhou.
The city gate was tightly closed, and there were defenders armed with live ammunition on the gate tower that was 13 to 14 meters high. Under the city gate building, there are two sentry booths and two machine gun bunkers, and probably a squad of city defense troops are stationed there.
Duanwu was not familiar with the garrison in Changzhou and did not know how many people there were. However, at this time, he was still very relieved to see that there were defenders on and off the city waiting for him. After all, this is wartime.
There were officers under the city, but when they saw a car approaching, they shouted: "Who is this person? Stop and check, otherwise we will shoot."
While Zhao Beishan slowly stopped the car, he stuck his head out of the window and said, "Open the city gate. The special commissioner is sitting in the car."
"Special correspondent?"
The officer was surprised. He didn't know who the special commissioner was, but when he saw soldiers holding guns in the car, he became increasingly vigilant.
"We have not received any documents from the special commissioner who wants to enter the city. We need to check the documents to confirm your identity."
When the other party asked to confirm his identity, Zhao Beishan laughed. Because their identities are complex.
Zhao Beishan turned his head and asked with a smile: "Special Commissioner, what identity should we use? Is it from my 87th Division or Lao Zhu's 88th Division?"
Duanwu said angrily: "Damn it, I, the special correspondent, don't have an ID card. Lao Yang didn't even get one for me and send it over."
Dragon Boat Festival was cursing, but Zhao Beishan was smiling evilly, because it was really difficult at this time. Without documents, could these people let them in?
But at this moment, Duanwu had already stuck his head out of the car window: "What? You won't be allowed in without a certificate? I'm not a special commissioner without a certificate? Grandma, do you recognize my face?"
"hehe!"
Zhao Beishan laughed out loud and thought to himself: These are the defenders of Changzhou. It would be strange if they could recognize your face.
Zhu Shengzhong also smiled and said: "Commander, why don't I go down and take care of them."
But at this moment, the officer looked around and suddenly said with joy: "Special commissioner, it is indeed a special commissioner. Open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly, the special commissioner is here."
"grass!"
Zhao Beishan complained and thought: "What's going on? Does one face become a passport?"
Zhu Shengzhong was also surprised and wondered if his group had any special powers. When you pass through the city gate, your face is scanned directly, and you don’t even need an ID.
But how did he know that Secretary-General Yang had already greeted the local authorities.
Originally, Secretary-General Yang wanted to make a certificate to send to the Dragon Boat Festival, but Tang Jiujiu went to Jiangyin Fortress at that time.
Secretary-General Yang thought that if Miss Tang went to pick up the Dragon Boat Festival, her ID would not be needed for the time being. And the identity of Dragon Boat Festival was very complicated at that time.
He was originally a leading soldier of the Hubei Security Regiment. When he was in the Sixing Warehouse, he was ordered by Sun Yuanliang of the 88th Division to be temporarily appointed as a colonel commander.
This colonel commander is in name only.
Of course, this does not mean that Duanwu has no command authority. He has command authority, but this independent regiment has no real designation. It is just a temporary force recognized by Sun Yuanliang.
So many times, when Duan Wu said that he was from the 88th Division Independent Regiment, no one believed him at all. Because there is no independent regiment in the 88th Division.
Later, he was favored by the Chairman and recruited into the Nanjing City Defense Army. However, the Dragon Boat Festival army still does not have a formal designation.
And if the number is issued together, it will take at least more than a month. Because the whole army still needs to be notified, otherwise no one will recognize the Dragon Boat Festival certificate.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival certificate has not been issued.
But Secretary-General Yang has already considered this level, and there will be difficulties when entering Nanjing during the Dragon Boat Festival. Because he had no ID and the composition of the team was very complicated, he explained it in advance: a young man with hair like wormwood and a lame leg. If he says that he is a special commissioner and does not have a certificate, let him go immediately, otherwise he will bear the consequences.
So the Changzhou garrison, especially the guys guarding the city gate, were all greeted in advance.
The leading officer nodded and bowed to salute the Dragon Boat Festival, while the soldiers at the city gate were opening the city gate to let people pass.
Zhao Beishan started the car, and the car made a humming sound.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, hundreds of people suddenly emerged from the grass and woods around the city gate.
The officer guarding the city gate gave loud orders to protect the commissioner, and then rolled into the fortifications himself.
The machine gun is mounted and ready to fire. But at this time, the group of people were very close to the car. The machine gunner was about to shoot, but the officer slapped his head and cursed: "What the hell, are you crazy? The commissioner was still in the car and he hit the commissioner." , you have ten heads left.”
After that, the officer ordered the newly opened city gate to be closed, and asked people to ask Ma Lizhong, the head of the garrison, to come and take command.
Now that the special commissioner is under siege, a small guard squad leader cannot bear the blame for Grandma Te.
People are sent out, but there is no telling when they will arrive there.
At the same time, Zhu Shengzhong and about twenty other independent regiment soldiers were naturally not vegetarians. They stood on the car, loaded their bullets, and pointed their submachine guns at the black figures coming out of the car from both sides of the road.
Someone in the shadow shouted: "Don't shoot, it's one of our own."
Zhu Shengzhong sneered and said: "Boy? Are you testing my IQ? One of my own? I never knew that there are my own people near Changzhou."
But at this time, the other party said: "Captain Zhu, I am Xiao Liuzi. Do you remember Xiao Liuzi? I am from the 40th Division."
"Xiao Liuzi? 40th Division?"
When the other party said this, Zhu Shengzhong remembered that the 40th Division did have a Xiaoliuzi, who was one of Sun Boan's followers.
"what are you doing here?"
Zhu Shengzhong said in surprise, but at this time, Xiao Liuzi said anxiously: "Where is the third brother? Is the third brother in the car? I just heard the third brother's voice."
The third brother Xiao Liuzi mentioned was the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone here calls them Dragon Boat Festival members, or special commissioners. But only Sun Bo'an of the 40th Division called Duan Wu his third brother.
Because the 79th Brigade of the 40th Division, headed by Sun Boan, are all street gangsters.
The entire 79th Brigade called Sun Boan their eldest brother. Sun Boan called Dragon Boat Festival third brother, so his brothers also called Dragon Boat Festival third brother.
Xiao Liuzi asked the third brother if he was in the car. When Duanwu heard this, he stretched his right hand out of the car and knocked. Xiao Liuzi ran over and said: "Third brother, third brother, I've finally waited for you. Something big has happened to third brother!..."
