Liang Xiao took a sip, and spit out the sand in his mouth.

The bombing continued for several days, and the entrances of many air-raid shelters were destroyed. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

"Go up and get some air."

Liang Xiao came out of the air-raid shelter with the staff of the division headquarters and the government personnel.

The strong sunlight hurt his eyes.

He didn't see the sun for two days, and he felt that he couldn't breathe freely, and so did the others. The most uncomfortable ones were Chen Hua, Tang Menghan, and Chu Xiangxue. He hid in the underground air-raid shelter, the sky was dark, and everyone couldn't bear it, but he was still holding on.

Coming out of the ground at this moment, several women cheered and laughed happily.

"Master, you promised us that when you come out of the air-raid shelter, you will ask the kitchen to prepare delicious food for us, and you are not allowed to make cabbage vermicelli."

Chen Hua said angrily.

If it is normal.

As soon as Chen Hua became dizzy, he immediately lost control of his third leg.

But today is different, she made him laugh out loud, at this moment, Chen Hua is charming and charming, etc... Words have nothing to do with him, her delicate and flowery face is covered with loess, black and beautiful The ponytail was almost dyed khaki by the soil, and the women's military uniform was full of dust. At first glance, it made him laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing"

Chen Hua slightly frowned, based on what she knew about Liang Xiao, he was definitely making fun of herself when he showed such a smile.

"Sister Chen Hua, there is something on your face."

Tang Menghan said with a wicked smile.

"something"

Chen Hua hurriedly touched her cheek with her hand, and felt that her face was covered with fine and dense sand. When she looked closely at her fingers, it was covered with sand, which showed how much sand was on her face.

"Sister Menghan, you also have something on your face."

Chen Hua said angrily.

Of course Tang Menghan knew that she also had sand on her face, but hers should not have as much sand on Chen Hua's face.

"Master, just received a telegram forwarded by the Military and Political Council."

Chu Xiangxue handed over the telegram.

Liang Xiao took the telegram and looked at it, a bit of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Little Japan really spared no effort to eliminate him. As soon as the plane bombing stopped, he couldn't wait to send 14 to attack Wusongkou at full speed.

"Pass down the order and tell Sun Bing, the commander of the first brigade, to lead his troops to intercept the 1 devils."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

"The troops enter immediately "Yes."

Liang Xiao took the guards to Wusongkou.

The heavy artillery unit was buried in the ground at the beginning of the bombing by Japanese planes. Only one 125mm howitzer was blown up, and the rest of the heavy artillery remained intact.

He ordered the soldiers of the heavy artillery unit to cover up the howitzer positions again and adjust the artillery positions to prevent the Japanese from landing from the sea.

Secondly, he went to the mountain cannons. There are more than 50 mountain cannons in the whole division, all of which are intact. The main reason is that Zhou Shiji's method worked. He removed all the mountain cannon barrels and pushed the cannon carts to the built underground air-raid shelter. The Japanese bombs were. .. No matter how powerful it is, it cannot penetrate an underground air-raid shelter three or four feet deep.

The Japanese army bombed wildly for several days, and all the logistics materials on the ground of the special operations division were blown up. Fortunately, there are still spare materials in the air-raid shelter, so it doesn't matter for the time being.

"Send a report to the Ninth Army and ask them to quickly bring a batch of logistics supplies over."

Liang Xiao frowned and said, he has supplemented a detachment of the teaching brigade and four 44 miscellaneous brands under his command, the total force is close to 4, and the daily material consumption is an astronomical figure.

"In addition, it is proposed to the Military and Political Council. Our positions have been bombarded by the Japanese for many days. The positions have all collapsed, and the soldiers have lost more than one-third. Please ask the Military and Political Council to send elite troops to garrison Wusongkou. I request that the army return to Hangzhou to rest."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Chu Xiangxue quickly wrote it down.

Liang Xiao didn't intend to preserve his strength.

Instead, he deduced based on historical time that the Japanese army was about to land and fight in the area of ​​Hangzhou Bay, and he had to lead his troops back to Hangzhou Bay as soon as possible to prevent the Japanese army from landing from the direction of Jinshanwei.

"Notify the chief officers above the battalion to come to the division headquarters for a meeting."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Chen Hua hurriedly dispatched messengers to notify the officers at all levels.

After half an hour.

In a huge bomb crater, Liang Xiao was sitting on the only chair, with many officers in camouflage uniforms squatting on both sides, and there were also several officers in uniforms of the Central Army.

"First of all, Mr. Liang welcomes four 44 officers from the [-]th Detachment of the Teaching Brigade and the local army to join the Special Warfare Division and the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. The conditions are simple, and I have nothing to welcome you. Let's just settle down for now."

"Master's words are serious, this place is already very good, at least... the crater can keep out the cold wind, and we don't expect anything else, as long as we can follow the master to fight devils."

"We came here to fight devils with the teacher, and the other brothers are not interested."

Liang Xiao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Let's get down to business."

"Special Operations 14st Brigade, intercept [-] in the direction of Baoshan."

"The 2nd and [-]nd Brigade of Special Warfare, all the wounded troops returned to Hangzhou to recuperate, and the rest of the troops built defensive positions on Baozipu and other roads."

"The first and third detachments of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army immediately set up a defensive position in the riverside area of ​​Wusongkou."

"As soon as the devil's bombing was over, the 14th Army rushed towards Wusongkou aggressively. There will be a big battle, and all ministries should hurry up and prepare."

"Yes."

Officers at all levels lead the charge.

Liang Xiao carefully analyzed the current situation. The Japanese army occupied Baoshan and other places. Although Luodian, Wusongkou, Lion Forest and other places were still in the hands of the national army, Baoshan fell, and Wusongkou and Lion Forest were all exposed to the Japanese army. Next, there will be a vicious battle, who will win, and the winner will be decided soon.

After replenishing its troops, the Special Operations Division has recovered a lot of its combat effectiveness. Even if it faces the 14th, it is still sure to defeat it.

But there was more than one Japanese army. According to the telegram sent by the Military and Political Council, since the Sato brigade was wiped out, another Japanese brigade came to surround Baozipu. , Wusongkou fell into a desperate situation.

Chapter 37 Lion Forest Falls

The war is imminent.

The atmosphere at Wusongkou, which was filled with gunpowder, was extremely tense.

The Special Operations Division and all units of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army are in a tense state of preparation.

"Report, Master seat, the Lion Grove is lost."

The combat staff officer held the walkie-talkie and said in surprise.

Liang Xiao's eyes slowly closed.

The fall of the Lion Grove was within his expectations, but also beyond his expectations.

It was the Japanese Matsushita Brigade that attacked the Lion Forest, carrying heavy weapons such as infantry artillery and mountain artillery. The defenders of the Lion Forest were Song Xilian's 36th Division and two detachments of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. The total strength of the 1th Division was about 36. The losses in the early battles were too great, so that the later battles could not form combat effectiveness, and it was completely supported by the two detachments of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.

"Notify Yu Likui to lead his troops back to Wusongkou."

Liang Xiao opened his eyes and said slowly.

"If the Lion Grove is lost, Wusongkou will be surrounded by enemies and it will be difficult to defend for a long time."

Zhou Shiji sighed.

"With our current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to defend for two or three days."

Liang Xiao had already made up his mind to wait for another two or three days, waiting for the decision of the military and political council.

............Nanjing.

Military Council Office.

A group of military leaders are discussing the enemy's situation.

After the failure of the League of Nations mediation that the Commissioner had hoped for, his strategic approach underwent a qualitative change, from a short-term decisive battle to a long-term war of resistance.

"Chairman, just received news from the 36th Division that the Lion Forest has fallen."

Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant office, hurriedly pushed open the office door and walked in, holding the telegram just sent by the 36th Division in his hand.

His voice fell.

The commissioner sat up from his chair, hurriedly snatched the telegram and looked: The lion forest fell, and the students were incompetent.

The telegram was sent by Song Xilian.

"Why... how did he fall? Liang Feiyu also sent two detachments of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army to help him. He has a reorganized German weapon division, plus two detachments with 5000 people. What a Lion Forest"

The committee member said angrily.

"Chairman calm down. Song Xilian's troops suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Shanghai, so they hastily joined the Battle of Songhu. They fought fiercely with the Japanese Matsushita Brigade for half a month. After one and a half months, even with the help of the two detachments sent by Liang Xiao, it was not much.. Combat strength, after all, the Loyalty and Nation Salvation Army is... a group of mobs with low combat quality and no effect, and the loss of Lion Forest is also reasonable."

He Yingqin of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs said.

"Nonsense, the Loyalty and National Salvation Army is Japanese-style equipment. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the German Armorers, they are definitely better than the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army. The responsibility for the loss of Shizilin is not the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, but Song Xilian's ineffective command."

The committee member roared angrily.

"His 36th Division faced only the Japanese Matsushita Brigade, and lost the Lion Forest Fortress. Liang Feiyu faced the Japanese 14th, Sato Brigade, and Navy Landing Fleet. Hundreds of Japanese fighter planes bombed Wusongkou around the clock. The Sato brigade was wiped out, and an entire fleet of the Japanese Navy was destroyed. According to information from the intelligence department, Wusongkou is now... a piece of scorched earth, and there is not even a single green grass on the ground. Under such circumstances, Wusongkou is still in prison It is firmly in Liang Feiyu's hands, and comparing the two, he, Song Xilian, is...a...stupid pig."

The committee members yelled.

"Committee, compared to other troops on the Songhu battlefield, the 36th Division has done its best. With the strength of a reorganized division, it has been bloody battles with a reorganized brigade of the Japanese army for so many days. It is also expected that the Lion Forest Fortress will be lost in the end. Compared with some units that were beaten by the Japanese army in one day, the 36th Division is called the most fearless division. Of course, compared with Liang Xiao's special warfare division, the record of the 36th Division is somewhat unsatisfactory, but Liang Xiao's total strength is 3 There are more than [-] people, and there are heavy artillery, mountain artillery, armored tanks and other heavy equipment. I heard that the commissioner gave him six fighter planes. He has so many heavy weapons, and he is sure to win the battle."

Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi said.

"Doesn't the division have heavy artillery? Does the 36th division have no tanks and armored vehicles?"

The committee member said angrily: "Liang Feiyu flew more than 30 planes back from Hongqiao Airport and made great military exploits for the government. I will reward him with six planes and let him continue to serve the government. Isn't this right?"

"Commissioner, I didn't mean that. Don't get angry. We are still discussing how to adjust the overall situation of the battle after the loss of the Lion Grove Fortress."

Bai Chongxi saw that the chairman's face changed when he was angry, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Yes, the Lion Forest fell, and Wusongkou was the first to bear the brunt. From the current point of view, the fall of Wusongkou will happen sooner or later. Everyone, please see that the 14th in the direction of Baoshan is attacking Wusongkou, and the first brigade of the special warfare division is intercepting the enemy. 14. In the direction of Baozipu, the Japanese army sent another brigade to attack and advance, and the 2nd and [-]nd Brigade of the Special Warfare Division is intercepting the enemy in this direction.”

"In this way, Liang Xiao only had the four 44th detachments of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army in his hands, and the organization was not complete. If the Japanese army in Shizilin attacked Wusongkou, Liang Xiao could only send the Loyalty and National Salvation Army to fight... Come on, he only has the troops directly under the division in his hands, and with this strength alone, if the third fleet of the enemy navy lands at Wusongkou, what will he do to stop the enemy?"

Gu Zhutong, commander of the third theater, analyzed in front of the military map.

"Mo San is right. Right now, Wusongkou is surrounded on all sides. The Special Warfare Division and the Loyalty and National Salvation Army alone cannot support it. In my opinion, the Military and Political Council should send elite troops to support Liang Xiao, so that he can firmly defend Wusong. Make sure that Wusongkou is not lost, so that even if the Japanese army has three heads and six arms, they will never want to set foot in Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places."

Feng Yuxiang, vice chairman of the Military and Political Council, said.

"What do you think?"

The commissioner looked at the others.

"I agree with Vice Chairman Feng's strategy."

"I agree."

"We also agree."

"I disagree."

It was General Zhang Wenbai, who had just stepped down as the commander of the Ninth Army, who had just assumed the post of director of the Supervision Department of the Military Commission.

"Everyone, Liang Feiyu's troops have been fighting at Wusongkou for so many days. Hundreds of Japanese planes bombarded Wusongkou. Wusongkou has long been a desperate place. If you want him to guard Wusongkou, it is tantamount to letting him die. He made great achievements in the War of Resistance, can you all just bear to see him surrounded by the Japanese army and run out of ammunition and food?"

General Zhang Wenbai said sadly.

"Don't get emotional, Wenbai, everyone is just discussing and hasn't made a decision yet."

Gu Zhutong laughed.

"Commander Gu, you should be most aware of the situation at Wusongkou. He is surrounded on all sides. Even though he...has great abilities, it is difficult to hold Wusongkou. At this time, you send troops to reinforce him. Isn't that forcing him to die? "

Zhang Wenbai said angrily.
