273 unfounded people worry about the sky

273 Unfounded worries (Part 1)

The afternoon is passing, but there is still a long time before sunset. The sun has begun to tilt, and there seems to be signs of redness over the mouth of the lake.

The main force of the 5th Marine Regiment and the 1st Marine Corps were exchanged for the landing boat. The main landing site of the 5th Regiment is the Yangtze River Ocean Wharf in the northeast of Hukou, and the landing site of the 1st Regiment is the mudbed area of Poyang Lake in the southern suburbs of Hukou. After landing, the 5th Regiment should ensure that the Shizhong Mountain line east of the landing point, and the 1st Regiment will attack northeast to cut off the land traffic roads in Nanchang and Hukou, which is the plan on the day of the landing operation.

The departure point of the 5th regiment is the Yangtze River waterway northwest of Shizhong Mountain, and the 1st regiment is on the west side of the entrance of Poyang Lake in the Yangtze River waterway. The 5th Regiment took 200 wooden boats with man-powered paddles and 170 speedboats equipped with diesel engines. The first regiment took 164 small fishing boats with white sails, which are common on Poyang Lake, and 115 boats equipped with diesel engines. The marine boats are distributed on the surface of the Yangtze River to the north of Poyang Lake, in a semi-circular position, waiting for the instructions of the first destroyer. They are all textbook-style arrangements, which are carried out step by step like ordinary exercises.

At 4:45 p.m., the support shelling before landing began. At the same time, the landing vanguards of the 1st Marine Regiment on the south side, 18 landing boats equipped with diesel engines and motors suddenly rolled up a layer of white waves and rushed out.

On the bridge of the Haichen, General Li and the generals raised their binoculars from time to time.

"Isn't it two ways to log in at the same time? Why did the first regiment leave first? Li wanted to raise his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it that some militants have gone away again?"

"These bastards dare!" Zhu Xiaoxian, the division commander of the Marine Corps, crossed his eyebrows and quickly explained, "The scheduled landing time of the 5th and 1st Regiments is 5:30 p.m. The departure place of the 5th regiment is 4,400 yards from the shore, and the 1st regiment is 5,500 yards from the shore. Because the speed of the 1st regiment's sails is as fast as the 5th regiment's hand, for this reason, the 5th regiment departed 8 minutes earlier.

Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction. Their battle plan was very careful and serious.

At 5 p.m., the naval gun shooting stopped and was replaced by rocket fire, with 6,000 rockets pouring down at two landing sites.

The landing point is shrouded in black smoke. The black smoke expands to the sea like a wall, and the clouds are gradually thickening, falling rain. The rain sprinkled on the 5th Regiment waiting in the boat, the 1st Regiment, and also sprinkled on General Li on the bridge.

"It's a little troublesome, so the night will be darker." Zhu Xiaoxian, the commander of the Marine Corps, muttered.

Tang Xiangming, the commander-in-chief of the navy standing in the front row, has been nagging: "Half-du, half-du..."

Zhu Xiao, the commander of the Marine Corps, turned around and shouted, "Mr. Tang, can you stop talking about it?"

"What? General Zhu Xiaoxian, are you talking about me? Tang Xiangming replied, "What's wrong with the half-du attack? It's normal to worry about the second battle of Wuchu. You haven't experienced landing before, let alone attack halfway!"

Tangxiangming is big and bold except for the name. It's normal for him to have such an idea.

In China, there are countless examples of fighting in the middle of the war, leaving people with negative things. Nowadays, people are shrewd. Who will be Song Xianggong?

Influenced by Tang Xiangming, the generals on the bridge seemed to be worried.

"Your worries and worries are all unfounded worries." Marshal Li snorted coldly and said, "Since September last year, the Beiyang Army has deployed the new 18th Division of Jiangxi, the 87th Regiment of the 9th Division and the 849th Independent Regiment. However, these troops left Hukou early this month, and now the remaining is the 3rd Battalion of the 226th Independent Regiment and the 918th Artillery Regiment of the Beiyang Navy. The total strength of the two companies is only about 2,000. Among them, the navy and artillery regiment each have a company with a total of 400 people deployed in Shizhongshan, and most of the garrison troops are new recruits. It can be understood that the Beiyang soldiers captured in Shizhongshan will have battlefield neurosis. In fact, these situations have already been told to the military through Xu Yifan and Yuchen's espionage team and other intelligence activities. How did the Beiyang Army attack halfway? I still smashed him!"

Li Xiang glanced at his "uncle" Tang Xiangming, the timidity of the wall-riding school, which really did not change.

In this way, Zhu Xiaoxian and others breathed a sigh of relief and had the worry of "half-over" may be because they were too cautious in the face of wars related to China's future fate...

At this time, Brother Hu, who wore the first-class merit medal, was excited and looked at the mouth of the lake from his observation point. The 1st Marine Regiment will land on the river beach on the left side of the embankment road. At the same time, the 5th Regiment of the Land Warfare, which has experienced the landing battle in Jiujiang and Xingzi, will attack the lake beach 2.5 kilometers away from the southeast.

However, a strange silence enveloped the two areas. Where is the Beiyang Army? There is almost no sign of resistance there.

Brother Hu said to his officer through the walker just set up, " Boss, can you allow me to cross the embankment? I don't think there will be strong resistance there. Can I send a patrol over there?"

"No, it should be carried out strictly according to the plan."

"This is a small meaning," Brother Hu touched the medal on his chest, hot-blooded and bold, and insisted. His clapping artillery team and engineers have now landed. Hey, we can use the artillery. -- A company covered by artillery -- "Directly across the embankment," they can sweep the river beach, so that the rest of the troops of the 5th Marine Regiment can land without enemy resistance.

But his officer refused to argue with him.

General Li was standing on the bridge and watching. He didn't want to explain that his subordinates did not comply with the battle plan.

Brother Hu had to be a bystander.

Four cruisers and six destroyers began the final bombardment of the lake, and shells poured into the harbor, destroying every important tactical target. The fire rushed to the sky and lit up the whole surface of the water.

Brother Hu was bored and called a field reporter left by General Li when he landed on the battlefield to inspect the observation site: "I want you to see the scene you will never see again."

"I'm a war correspondent now, and I have a lot of opportunities to watch it in the future." This is indeed the first time this beautiful female reporter has seen such a scene, but she doesn't agree with what this arrogant guy said.

"No nonsense, climb up the tree. See it more clearly." Without saying a word, Brother Hu climbed up like a monkey.

Gu Xin's little reporter looked up at the tree and was dumbfounded. She was so big that she hadn't climbed the tree yet.

She was the first war correspondent. She used to interview some social news in Nanjing. After the work of the Kuomintang was transferred to the ground in Nanjing, she had two choices, either to go to Shanghai or back to Wuchang. She chose to return to Wuchang to enter the ranks of war correspondents. This time, only one of the two reporters on the "Haichen" can log in. The two of them toss and guess to win. Gu Xin is the lucky one. For the first time, he experienced the excitement and excitement of war correspondents.

With the help of Brother Hu, she finally climbed up the tree.

Now, the bombing of the navy and air force has shrouded the smoke at the mouth of the lake, dark clouds gathered from the sea, and the sky began to drizzle.

Zhu Xiaoxian, the commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps, hopes that the landing craft can dock on time, because the sun will fall into the sea 1 hour and 13 minutes after the start of the operation. If you want to capture the river beach before dark, the landing force must seize every minute.

At 4:45, the bombing of the navy and air force stopped, and three rocket launchers sailed forward and bombarded the river stalls and lake beaches like raindrops.

At 5:22 p.m., the soldiers of the two marine regiments began to get out of the transport ship and climb up the landing craft.

Li Xiang and his generals watched the two platoons of the 5th Regiment of the landing battle of eight landing boats sailing to the river beach, and they were going to climb the Shizhong Mountain Heights.

Reporter Gu Xin was attracted. From her tree, it can be seen that all the Chinese ships were concentrated at the mouth of the lake, and hundreds of landing boats headed for the bank embankment, with dark cloud-like aircraft overhead.

Brother Hu jumped off the tree and ordered his mortars and heavy machine guns to provide fire cover for the 5th Marine Regiment.

The smoke screen and explosion made it almost impossible to see what happened on the embankment.

Gu Xin followed Brother Hu and wandered around the top of the mountain.

Everyone around Brother Hu is shooting.

To their right, the 1st Marine Regiment has approached the lake and beach.

Gu Xin pressed the shutter of the camera to record the historic moment.

At this time, she heard Brother Hu around her muttering and cursing: "You damn guy, have you never learned how to tie a grenade? ...You have to blow yourself up like that one day!"

Finally, the engine gradually slowed down, and the fleet lined up in two rows.

At this time, the signal came, and all the engines on the ship accelerated again. The roar broke the calm just now. They had reached the starting point, and then drove into the smoke and haze.

The landing boats on both sides of Brother Hu could not be seen. It looked like they were swaying forward on a train track.

"The first attack wave", someone shouted, "Forward... Fight..."

The people around Brother Hu knelt on one knee and stared at Fang, without action or feeling.

"Let's cheer up and start to act, boss."

Some people said carelessly that Gu Xin sounded very familiar.

She looked at the front. The landing craft can now see that they are moving forward, sailing to the shore like hard beetles in the water. They turn around and stagger forward, rushing to the embankment with the ups and downs of the waves.

The soldiers bent down and hid behind the baffle to shoot. Two people suddenly stood up. The first man raised his foot to climb the embankment. A bullet hit him. He suddenly stood up and then collapsed and rolled down the embankment. The second man slid back to the pedal of the landing craft to shoot. The soldier quickly lowered his head and returned to the bottom of the cabin. He was surrounded by the crackling and crackling of rifles and machine guns.

"Toward the hole on the embankment!"

Who pointed to a bullet hole on the embankment and shouted.

I heard this review clearly. Isn't it Xiaoqiang, the two heartless battlefields in Nanjing? They followed Marshal Li to land, but did not return to the ship, but stayed on the shore.

Xu Yifan and Yuchen rushed to the embankment with their waists.

"You go and blast the stone wall, and I'll cover it."

Xu Yifan set up a light machine gun and fired a burst of fire at the enemy.

Yuchen rolled, hid in a basket, buried the bomb, lit the fuse, and rolled out quickly.

"Big boss, call!" Yu Chen said it and ran away.

Xu Yifan was shocked to see a boat approaching. As he left Ishigaki, he shook his hand at the boat and shouted, "Is that boat looking for death? Get out of the way!"

Yuchen, who lowered his head and ran wildly, looked up. He was also scared and shouted while running.

Although the people on the boat couldn't hear what the two Xiaoqiang on the embankment were talking about, they could still understand the danger when they saw that they were running faster than rabbits, and quickly ordered the boat to turn around.

As soon as he turned around, there was a sound of explosion, and huge stones fell around. At this time, the boat was about 40 yards away from the shore.

Gu Xin thought, "This two Xiaoqiang are going to be interviewed. Why didn't you think of it before?"

At this time, their landing craft came over, and someone shouted, "Go down to the bottom of the ship... Can you go over... Come back quickly." Then, the shouting stopped.

The explosion of shells kept ringing around them, and the mud and sand came down like rain.

An officer walked down the seawall and said in a plain and dry voice: "The bald Li went to the fifth bunker... The 3rd battalion crossed the seawall... got a mortar and a light machine gun... and went inland..."

A marine soldier wearing a tennis cap, with a 45mm machine gun in his hand, shot while running, and boldly waving his arms to guide the direction.

Gu Xin looked at him disappearing under the seawall.

The landing was quite bumpy and slowly followed him. The 50mm machine gun on the boat sprayed bullets and sprinkled over the soldier's head to the front position, like a huge hound protecting a puppy.

"Start acting!" Who shouted? The officer said he wanted to take action!"

It has been 30 minutes since they crossed the seawall. It got dark quickly. Behind Gu Xin, the sun quietly stuck to the surface of Poyang Lake like a big blood-red ball.

Everyone lowered their heads and bent down to run forward. For a while, they knelt down on one knee, and then got up and continued to run. Some people fell into a pit or ran in the middle of the train track. In front of Gu Xin, in the flames rising at the mouth of the lake, the blue figures of other marines could be vaguely seen.

All people move forward in the twilight.

A mortar shell exploded nearby, and a piece of shrapnel hit Gu Xin's abdomen.

"Come on." Brother Hu shouted, "Take her down for first aid."

"Please give me the film to my cousin. My cousin is Zhu Xiaoxian, the commander of the Marine Corps." Although she was seriously injured, she still remembered it.

"I don't have time!" Brother Hu said rudely that his credit was taken away by others, and he wanted to grab another medal. He didn't have time to care about this.

"Then I'll go by myself." Gu Xin struggled to stand up, and blood burst out of her abdomen again.

"I'm afraid of you!" Brother Hu can't do anything about it.

Only then did Gu Xin agree to receive treatment.
