Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Zhou Zhirou looked bitter, and cursed in his heart: "It's not all about you. Because of the sufficient ammunition in Base 331, you are addicted to bombing. Wherever you call for air force support, you can just order it. It's okay if you don't go. Now the fuel is running out. It's completely unreasonable to put all the responsibility on me."

Of course, Zhou Zhirou only dared to curse in his heart, but he was submissive and dared not make any mistakes.

Of course, the chairman also understands that he is not responsible for this matter, but he is unhappy and wants to find someone to vent.It seems that a thousand tons of fuel oil is quite a lot, but when millions of troops are fighting, cars, planes, and tanks don’t use fuel oil. After the Burma campaign entered a state of armistice, the Fourteenth Air Force transported it from the Hump route. Although the Hump route was still nervously transporting fuel supplies to the country, it could not meet the needs of the battlefield at all.

Seeing that the Japanese naval carrier-based aircraft had withdrawn from the battlefield, the air supremacy was at their fingertips. Who knew that the fuel was exhausted again, and the air supremacy would fall into an evenly divided situation, even worse than before, but even without the air force, the battle still had to be fought. The chairman immediately ordered the staff to give For power generation at the frontiers, there is no need to count on air force support in the short term, and everything can only rely on their true skills.

Zhou Zhirou came up with an idea at this time. He thought that the No.40 Army must still have a certain amount of fuel stock. If it can be distributed from them, it may not be a problem to hold on for a few more days. As long as there is a transition of a few days, Focus on transporting fuel on the hump route, at least until the front troops take Wuhan.

The chairman of the committee gouged him out, and said without any expression on his face: "Okay, I will entrust this task to you, and you can ask him for it?"

After the chairman finished speaking, he left in a huff. Zhou Zhirou immediately stood there stunned, in a mess. Jiang Haoran didn't think he was a fart in the eyes of the air force commander. Haoran wanted to eat him long ago, and he would be damned if he could still give him fuel.

But he didn't dare to disobey the chairman's order, so he bit the bullet and sent Jiang Haoran a telegram as the commander of the Air Force, but the reply he received was only three words - go to hell!

On the evening of the second day, on the west bank of Liangzi Lake in the suburbs of Wuhan.

No.19 Group Army Commander Yu Jishi rolled his sleeves up and his face was full of smoke and dust, but he couldn't hide his high spirits. He pointed forward with a horsewhip in his hand, and said, "Chief of Staff, do you see that piece of light? That's the border of Wuchang. As long as we pass the lake area in front of us, we will be in Wuhan."

Chief of Staff Xu Rangxuan said with a smile: "It's also thanks to our hard work that even the commander-in-chief went to the battlefield with a machine gun. If we can't win Wuhan, God will not allow it."

"Hahaha!"

The two suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. Not far away, countless soldiers placed long pennies on the ground and were nervously weaving bamboo rafts.

Looking at the densely packed soldiers busy by the lake, Yu Jishi was filled with emotions, and said: "Chief of Staff, why do you think Jiang Haoran has such a long head? How many troops are there to stop him? We are still tens of miles away. He asked our soldiers to take a bamboo pole and walk to the lake to have a look. We can’t find a single door panel. If we go back to the mountains to cut wood and build ships, there will be no drama tonight. During the day, there are little devil’s planes in the sky. We can’t move, and we have to wait until night. This day’s time is wasted, but he This guy, tomorrow we can enter street fighting with devils."

"Yes, sir, the Japanese army probably never dreamed that we would have boats crossing the lake tonight, and there must not be many guarding troops. Suddenly, a guy circled behind them, and the entire defense line would immediately collapse. The enemy will be defeated tonight. .” Xu Rangxuan laughed.

"Chief of Staff, we must remember Jiang Haoran's love. If his two masters came all the way from Yangxin, what would Yang Sen and I have to do to take down Wuhan's first position? But he just gave us the credit for this low-hanging fruit , love is higher than the sky!"

"Yes, Jiang Haoran is indeed a good brother. Although we helped him in the 331 base, he has already repaid our favor by sending guns and cannons. I didn't expect that he would give us a great contribution today. .”

Just when the two were sighing with emotion, a major general rushed over, stood at attention in front of the two and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the chief and chief of staff, the 57th division of the first echelon crossing the lake is ready to fight, please instruct .”

Yu Jishi raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then said grimly: "Okay, the time agreed with Yang Sen is just right, Mr. Shi, don't be polite to me, let me make them hard."

"Yes, Chief!"

Shi Zhongzhong, the commander of the 57th Division, suddenly agreed, then turned around and howled: "Let's go!"

Following Shi Zhongzhong's order, the densely packed bamboo rafts in the water headed towards the center of the lake like arrows leaving the string, and countless soldiers on the bank carried the bamboo rafts directly into the water, splashing a lot of water.

"Order, the 58th Division of the second echelon is ready to cross the lake. Order, the 51st Division will immediately launch a fierce attack on the Japanese defense line in the middle of Liangzi Lake and Lu Lake to cover the troops crossing the lake." Yu Jishi howled again, this time he could After spending all his money, all the elite troops of his 74th Army were pressing on the front line.

Ten minutes later, a few miles to the north, there was a sudden rumble of gunfire and flames soaring into the sky, half the sky was burning red, and then there was a burst of gunfire like fried beans.On the surface of Liangzi Lake, thousands of bamboo rafts swarm forward like crucian carp crossing the river.

Almost at the same time as Yu Jishi issued the order, Yang Sen, commander-in-chief of the 27th Army, also issued an order in the area between Luhu and the Yangtze River.

"Order, the 134th and 135th divisions will cross the lake immediately on bamboo rafts. After crossing the lake, the 134th division will immediately advance towards Liangzi Lake. Cooperate with the No. 19 Army to directly attack the old base of the Japanese army on the middle road. After crossing the lake, the 135th division will immediately advance to the Yangtze River. Go straight to the old bottom of the Japanese army on the North Road. Order, the 136th Division will attack the enemy from the front, stick to the enemy tightly, and cover the troops to cross the lake."

"Yes!"

All the generals agreed with a bang, and then disappeared under the dim moonlight. Just after the cannons of the 20th Army in the middle road sounded, the main position of the No. [-] Seventh Army was also full of cannons, and Lu Lake was also full of bamboo rafts. There are about a dozen or twenty soldiers on a bamboo raft, setting up machine guns and rifles and waiting in full force. The soldiers supporting the row hold up their pennies, and the bamboo raft moves forward like an arrow from the string. Keep moving forward, the scene is spectacular.
