272 will never waver down

272 Never waver (Part 2)

At 5:00 a.m., the fleet arrived at Shizhong Mountain and lined up according to the set position.

The Marines rubbed their hands and were eager to try. Most of the soldiers are children of farmers. Since they got on the boat, everyone has a bed. The diet is Western food. For the first time, many people queue up in the canteen many times and have to eat again. In the canteen, they have to use meal coupons to limit each person to receive only once per meal. The toilet is also different from before, and the sewer is also blocked. In a word, the soldiers are very happy with the new living environment on the ship, and their morale is high.

As soon as the first dawn appeared in the sky, the sentry of the Beiyang Army looking out on Shizhong Mountain shouted: "There are many boats moored in the Yangtze River."

"It's the 'bandit army'! ～～～”

"Enemy attack! ～～～”

"Cannon! Shell immediately!"

The coastal fort began to open fire, and the fleet launched a counterattack.

The command ship "Haichen" had just entered the Yangtze River Channel at this time. Tang Xiangming, Zhu Xiaoxian and the generals of Li Xiang's headquarters gathered on the bridge, looking at them with binoculars.

Li Xiang is still sleeping because he is tired of talking at night.

Meidi, Li Xiang's confidential secretary, came to Li Xiang's room and asked him to get up.

"Let me sleep for a while. I can't help even if I stand on the deck now." Li wanted tossed too much yesterday. He was under great pressure and his heart was haggard. Now he is so tired that he can't get up.

Meadowy stood by the bed angrily and said, "I'm not asking you to go to the deck, but it's too dangerous here. In case the flagship is hit by the Beiyang Army and you wear a nightgown to look for a hiding place, it's a disgown for you and the National Revolutionary Army."

If Yuan Shikai and others know that Marshal Li was picked up from the Yangtze River in a nightgown, they would not laugh at their big teeth. Meadows simply couldn't imagine it.

Li Xiang replied lazily, "If this ship is really hit, you can call me again." Turn over and continue to sleep.

Meadows really can't do anything about it.

At 5:40 a.m., the vanguard of the 3rd Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the Marine Corps was transferred to the landing craft.

At 545, the escorted cruisers and destroyers began to support the shelling. The shelling was concentrated on the northwest coast where it was scheduled to land, and the lake port was also shelled.

By 6:15, three rocket support ships fired rockets at the landing coast. Each ship was equipped with ten launchers and fired a total of 4,400 rockets within 15 minutes.

"Rocket bombs" mainly imitate the French Congreaves rocket. Li Xiang has invested a lot of research funds in this aspect, and even hired French and American technicians to enter the international leading industry with the range, power and reliability of rockets. Of course, after the explosion of the war, the later rockets were manufactured because of the original The material is tight, the manufacturing is very rough, and the shape looks more like a cannonball wrapped in iron. This kind of weapon is easy to make and can be produced in large quantities as long as conditions permit. The rocket "Dongfeng-1" produced by the military government has a range of 4500m-6500m, and the positive and negative error is basically controlled at about 150m.

The sound of shelling and rockets resounded through the port of Incheon, and Yuewei Island and Incheon were surrounded by fireworks.

After the fierce bombing, Li Xiang on the "Haichen" finally opened his eyes, ate some breakfast casually, put on his military uniform and came to the bridge.

Tang Xiangming stood up and gave up his chair to him. As soon as he sat down, the vanguard of the 3rd Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the Marine Corps rushed to Shizhong Mountain.

All the conditions are reported to the "Haichen" in time and broadcast live through the microphone.

"The landing vanguard has crossed the departure line."

After the news came from the microphone, the generals on the bridge raised their binoculars together.

Hu Ge's troops began to enter the landing craft. He put on the belt of his helmet and climbed down the landing craft.

The rocket launch continued. When the landing craft set off, the naval gunfire stopped, and the mosquito fighters strafed the coast.

Brother Hu's boat seemed to have hit an obstacle in the water, and the pedal could not be put down. When Lieutenant Pang jumped into the water, he found that the water was very deep and did not go over his head. He quickly took off his equipment to go ashore.

Shizhong Mountain has turned into a piece of scorched earth, and its eyes are full of charred stakes, craters and rubble. It seems that the smell of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia-flavored gunpowder is very pungent.

Brother Hu felt a deadly silence. Suddenly, the roar of the mosquito plane rushing down from the top of his head woke him up, and the machine gun shells were scattered on the landing craft. This is close cover! He punched the sand and turned to the right. He could hardly see anything because of the smoke.

They came to a cave, threw a few grenades into it, and shouted, "Fire into the cave." They waited for the survivors to stagger out of the cave, and then began to climb the hillside of Shizhong Mountain Heights.

It was going very well, with only some sporadic resistance along the way.

Brother Hu raised a five-star red flag on the top of Shizhong Mountain. Brother Hu and his men quickly climbed to this straight high ground, and he had never gasped like this in his life. This position has been captured, and none of his troops have been killed.

When Li on the "Haichen" wanted to see the star flag from the telescope, he shouted happily, "It's done. Let's have a cup of coffee."

The generals also sang happily.

After three minutes, Li Xiang turned his head and asked Medy with a doubtful look, "Little sister, where's the coffee?"

The housekeeper sister and the generals looked at Marshal Li together. Although they heard him say a cup of coffee, they thought it was a sign that the battle was going well. Unexpectedly, Marshal Li really wanted to drink coffee.

The housekeeper quickly went to prepare. For a while, everyone drank coffee and continued to watch the battle.

Like Marshal Li, Brother Hu has nothing to do. He now has nothing to do except sit on the top of the top of Shizhong Mountain Heights and watch other platoon attacks.

The Beiyang Army troops stationed in Shizhongshan are a company of the 3rd Battalion of the 226th Independent Regiment and a company of the 918 Field Artillery Regiment, with a total of about 400 people. After the full coverage of bombing and shelling, there were some battlefield neurosis, and the fighting spirit was lost.

"Captive 54 people, slight resistance."

The commander of the 3rd Battalion distributed the report at 7:45 a.m.

When the "Haichen" broadcasted the news, Li wanted to get off the bridge and return to the house, and asked Tang Xiangming, the commander-in-chief of the navy, to draft a message.

"The supreme glory belongs to the navy and the marines this morning, Li Xiang."

Suddenly, a dirty motorboat approached. It was the ship of spies Xu Yifan and Yuchen.

Xu Yifan and Yuchen guarded the lighthouse and observed the landing troops gathering and attacking Shizhong Mountain with binoculars. When I saw the "Haichen" back and forth several times, I had the impulse to take a look at my idol Li Dashuai. Drive the airboat to the Haichen.

"Hey, do you think they will take our Beiyang Army's death squad?"

As he gradually approached, Xu Yifan was a little worried.

"It's okay." Yuchen will always be careless.

Xu Yifan looked at Yuchen and then at himself. Because lurking on the island, his beard has been long, his clothes are also worn, and Yuchen is more depressed than him. This motorboat is also small and dirty, with two people, with a miserable look. Although he knows Zhu Xiaoxian, the division commander of the Marine Corps, can he recognize him like this now?

The guard suddenly said to the report of the bridge, "A strange boat is approaching us."

Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiaoxian saw a mobile sampan who looked like two down-and-out men on the boat through binoculars, but one of the tall men was waving something like the hat of an officer of the National Revolutionary Army.

"This may be the enemy's death squad," Tang Xiangming shouted, "Stop it, stop it there!"

Zhu Xiaoxian shouted with his microphone, "Don't get close, leave quickly!"

Xu Yifan motioned Yuchen to turn off the engine and wait.

A landing boat was put down and sailed to the small ssam. When the second lieutenant who commanded the landing boat saw Xu Yifan and Yuchen wearing green overalls and the hats of the National Revolutionary Army, he held the trigger of the machine gun and shouted, "Who the hell are you?" Report it!"

"I'm Yu Chen, a special soldier of the National Revolutionary Army. He is my boss Xu Yifan. He is a captain. Take the gun away, you second lieutenant." Yuchen clenched his fist and clenched the blue waves.

"Shut up! Don't move!" The second lieutenant was still holding a gun, turned his head to the bridge and shouted, "The boss is a special team, and one is an officer."

Zhu Xiao listened first and quickly looked at it carefully with a telescope: "It's the two of them. Let them get on the boat."

After getting on the ship, Zhu Xiaoxian congratulated and said, "You will definitely get the Golden Spike Medal."

As soon as Xu Yifan wanted to show humility, Yuchen rushed to say, "Isn't the commander on the boat? It's better for the marshal to give us a medal in person. We are here to be the marshal.

Xu Yifan quietly took a bucket of rain.

"Good." Li wanted to hear that the two enemy heroes had returned. As soon as he arrived on the deck, he heard Yuchen's words, "Take the first-class medal."

"Handi-in-chief!"

Xu Yifan and Yuchen raised their chests to salute Li Xiang.

"Good job!" Li wanted to pin the two medals on their chests and patted them on the shoulder, "Do you dare to accompany me to Shi Zhongshan for inspection?"

Before Tang Xiangming and others objected, Yuchen rushed to say, "If you want to go, commander, we can take you there."

"Yes, of course," Li thought and said to the military reporter, "You can also follow him."

Li wants to board the lake port.

Marshal Li was proud in front of the reporters' cameras.

In the position full of burned cannons and enemy corpses, Li Xiang's first line was: "I want to find a colonel named Brother Hu, the head of a marine. I want to award a medal to this regimental commander in person.

After Brother Hu, who was attacking a mountain, received the notice, the admirer of Marshal Li said to the officer who came to invite him to accept the medal, "I still have a combat task to complete!" General, please leave the decoration in Wuchang.

Li Xiang not only did not get angry because the leader did not respond to the call, but also appreciated his dedication.

Li wanted to immediately move forward in the direction of the continuous sound of gunfire, and he didn't listen no matter how his subordinates dissuade him.

Until in a hut with the roar of cannons, Li wanted to see Brother Hu covered with gunpowder smoke. They saluted each other happily, and then Li wanted to wear a first-class medal on Brother Hu's chest.

The reporters are crazy with joy, because there is no more heroic story in the world that arouses the interest of readers.
