Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

In the tunnel, as the New Fourth Army quickly moved towards Poyang Lake, the command headquarters also entered the final retreat stage. Staff officers and telecommunications personnel began to pack up radio stations and blueprints to prepare for retreat.

There was already a lot of gunfire in the city, because the exit of the tunnel was dug out in a large area, and the gunshots came in very clearly. , including the 48-man team led by Huang Shulin, are all distributed around for defense at the moment. Once the Poyang Lake ferry is opened, all the troops in the city will evacuate from the city.

"Ru Shuang, ask Tang Zhisheng if the plane has been repaired, if it's impossible, blow up the plane and prepare to retreat." Jiang Haoran suddenly remembered that Tang Zhisheng was still at the airport, and quickly asked Leng Rushuang to ask through the walkie-talkie.

In a certain hangar at the airport, Tang Zhisheng had already taken off his flight suit and was wearing a beige underwear. He was lying on the nose to connect the wires. Next to him were two New Fourth Army soldiers stepping on the stairs to help him with a flashlight.

Although the temperature was not high in late autumn, especially in the early morning, Tang Zhisheng was sweating profusely, and the clothes on his body were almost soaked from the water.

It was stuffy in the garage, coupled with Tang Zhisheng's nervousness, it was no wonder he didn't sweat.Fortunately, although the outer shell of the aircraft looks seriously damaged, there is nothing wrong with it inside. It is just that the wiring and instruments are damaged, so it is not difficult to repair it. Together, more than half of the time spent on this was spent, which wasted time.

At this moment, Tang Zhisheng's walkie-talkie in his trousers pocket suddenly rang, and a female voice called. Tang Zhisheng got up quickly, wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and then took out the walkie-talkie, calling: " Adjutant Leng? I'm Tang Zhisheng."

"Tang Zhisheng, the chief officer asked you if the plane has been repaired. We are already preparing to retreat. If it fails, we will blow it up and leave quickly." A cold voice came from the walkie-talkie clearly.

Several soldiers of the New Fourth Army had long been dumbfounded at the small box in Tang Zhisheng's hand that could communicate. They were not in and out of the headquarters, so naturally they had never seen this thing.

Tang Zhisheng replied: "Adjutant Leng, please tell the chief, give me half an hour, and I will definitely let this plane take off."

The voice on the walkie-talkie was silent for a few seconds, and then the cold voice sounded again, "Tang Zhisheng, the chief agrees to your request, but be quick."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Tang Zhisheng stood up and replied awe-inspiringly.

Putting the walkie-talkie into his pocket, Tang Zhisheng pointed to a few soldiers of the New Fourth Army, and said, "You guys, follow the method I taught you, and reload quickly, I don't need your help here."

Although there was a lot of urging ahead, Tang Zhisheng commanded it firmly, without any panic. After speaking, he took the flashlight from a New Fourth Army, clamped it on his shoulder with his neck, and continued to connect the dense wires.

At this time, Jiujiang City was full of gunshots and explosions. Japanese troops invaded the city from the east and north, and fierce street fighting was in full swing.

But its intensity cannot be compared with that of Poyang Lake Ferry. Although the mass grave is barren, it is a slope facing Poyang Lake. Except for a few crooked trees and withered weeds and bushes, there is almost More hiding places, a large number of the New Fourth Army poured out, and was quickly discovered by the Japanese soldiers on the naval guns. The machine guns roared suddenly, and the Japanese soldiers in charge of transportation quickly put down their work and quickly moved to the direction where the New Fourth Army appeared. advance.

Fortunately, the tunnel entrance is located in a low-lying area, and the Japanese soldiers on the naval guns cannot directly see it. Fortunately, the mass graves are still thousands of meters away from Poyang Lake. Just throwing your arms away and running up the hillside, the commotion here is loud, and the Japanese army in the city will definitely come back. Therefore, the key is to first defend the Japanese army in the urban area, but there is no terrain to rely on for the unobstructed rice fields. The soldiers of the New Fourth Army had no choice but to start digging bunkers on a low field ridge, and more New Fourth Army quickly moved to both sides, detouring from the left and right sides to the ferry.

The Japanese naval guns also rang out very quickly. Four [-]mm single-barreled guns were fired in unison. The power should not be underestimated.

The naval guns of the Japanese army are two Hanoi naval guns, which are small gunboats specially produced by the Japanese army to deal with the waters of China's rivers. The one on the left is "Shita" and the one on the right is "Hira". It was built in a steel shipyard, and was dismantled and shipped to China in 1923. It was reassembled at Shanghai Donghua Shipyard and formed into an army.The ship of this class is 54.86 meters long and 8.23 ​​meters wide; the displacement is 338 tons, the maximum speed is 16 knots, and the crew is 62 people. Each ship is equipped with two 80mm single-barreled main guns and five 7.7mm machine guns.

Although the New Fourth Army was not within the range of the machine guns, the artillery fire of the Japanese army made them invisible. No matter which way they advanced, they were covered by the artillery fire of the Japanese army, especially the New Fourth Army who built a blocking position backwards. It was even more brutally bombarded. Although there were only four artillery fires, they were completely beaten, and the firepower was even more violent.

Not far from the left and right sides of the tunnel exit, two Japanese 41-type Seven-Five Mountain Cannons are being assembled nervously. The entire Seven-Five Mountain Cannon weighs more than 400 kilograms. Naturally, it cannot be pulled out of the narrow tunnel by manpower, and can only be disassembled. It took a long time for them to transport, go out of the tunnel and then assemble.

Since the Poyang Lake Independent Brigade received the weapons and equipment from the three Japanese brigades donated by Jiang Haoran, their strength has been in full swing. As early as when Jiang Haoran was defending Nanchang, they attacked De'an from the inside with a scale of 5000 people. In the entire Wuhan area , They can be regarded as one of the most powerful guerrilla troops behind enemy lines.

Although he was wiped out countless times by the Japanese army after the failure of the second Wuhan battle last year, he still survived tenaciously and successfully helped Jiang Haoran enter the hinterland of southern Anhui, allowing him to successfully lead the troops from the third theater that was deeply encircled Out of the encirclement, the current situation in the three cities of Quzhou has been achieved.

Because of this, the Poyang Lake Independent Brigade developed rapidly again under the protection of Jiang Haoran. During the time in Quzhou, they not only accepted Jiang Haoran's weapons and equipment, but also accepted Jiang Haoran's special personnel to train their soldiers. From war to guerrilla warfare, Jiang Haoran taught everything, and they also learned everything, like when their artillery was trained, and Jiang Haoran never spared ammunition in training troops, unlike the New Fourth Army who used every bullet On the battlefield, the time of war is also the time of training, Jiang Haoran is completely open to supplies, every soldier who goes to the battlefield has already wasted hundreds of bullets, and the Poyang Lake Independent Brigade is also fortunate to live a period of that kind of extravagant life. The combat effectiveness has been rapidly improved.

Ten people on one side assembled the cannon quickly and orderly, and the cannon was finally erected. After making a gesture with a thumbs up, the observer on the left waved his hand down decisively. The grenade came out of the chamber with a "boom", and rushed straight at the Japanese "Shita" naval gun with a scream.

With a loud "boom", the shell exploded three to four meters in front of the "Shiduo", setting off a huge white wave more than ten meters high, but the "Shiduo" was safe and sound.

The enemy naval guns were placed horizontally on the surface of Poyang Lake. It was easy to aim left and right, but the distance was not easy to control. The first shell hit close, and the artillery squad leader waved his hand bitterly, and howled: "Oh, I missed it. Yuan, launch again!"

The main gunner behind quickly opened the bolt, ready to reload the shells again.

And the shell of another Qiwushan artillery on the right side of the tunnel was also fired at this moment. The shell dragged its tail flame and made a long screaming sound, and went straight to the Japanese gunboat "Hira" on the right side of the pontoon bridge. The main turret on the right side of the "Hiliang" made a loud "boom", and a ball of flames exploded on the enemy ship. The entire gunboat shook, and the smoke cleared. It disappeared, and the fire blazed on the gunboat. The Japanese soldiers on the ship began to put out the fire in a panic, and the other cannon quickly turned its muzzle.

A single shell from the Qiwushan artillery was not enough to destroy the Japanese naval artillery, but the New Fourth Army still cheered, "Damn it, we hit it, we hit it!"

The response of the Japanese army was faster than that of the New Fourth Army, and the Japanese army on the naval guns dealt with cannons almost every day. The speed and accuracy were by no means comparable to those of the Poyang Lake Independent Brigade. The opportunity to launch, the "Shiduo" on the left side of the pontoon bridge, two shells roared almost at the same time, and hit the artillery position on the left without error. Afterwards, the dozens of lives that were still alive just now suddenly became a mass of stumps and arms. The scene was so tragic that people dare not look directly at it. Even the Qiwu Mountain Cannon was torn apart and could no longer be used at all.

In less than a minute, another 1mm main gun on the Japanese "Hiliang" also fired, and it was also a hit. The artillery position on the right side of the tunnel was also taken away by the Japanese army, and more than a dozen artillerymen were killed. .

Moreover, the Japanese army loaded shells faster, and the shells raged crazily on the positions of the New Fourth Army. The New Fourth Army began to push forward under artillery fire, and all kinds of weapons in their hands opened fire, but the closer to the front, the greater the casualties. The ten heavy machine guns on the warship guns all began to roar, and in an instant, hundreds of New Fourth Army fell down on the lake beach, and the New Fourth Army was still rushing forward. Their idea was very simple, that is, to make the weapons in their hands The distance to kill the enemy is reached, but even if it reaches this distance, the bullets can only leave a little spark on the enemy's naval guns. The enemy's machine guns and cannons have steel plate shields, and ordinary bullets can't hurt them at all.
