274 unfounded and worried
274 Unfounded worries (middle)
From the lake of Poyang Lake to the waterway of the Yangtze River, the whole water is full of naval transport ships of the National Revolutionary Army, large and small. The whole river is densely covered with hundreds of ships, large and small.
The figure of the National Revolutionary Army climbing the mountain and river bank can be seen everywhere. The blood-red five-star red flag was rattled by the noise under the blowing of the river wind.
The Beiyang Army on the shore of the lake finally began to fight back. It's really a fragile "half-way"!
At this time, Li Xiang was looking at the place where the war was everywhere, where there was a thick fire.
"We must break through the fragile defense line of the Beiyang Army before dark. We need a foothold for the subsequent landing of large troops. Li wanted to order Zhu Xiaoxian behind him.
The 5th regiment was affected by the black smoke and rain from the city, which led to some confusion. When the boat returned after the second wave of troops came ashore, the bullets of the Beiyang army began to fall on the river. After the arrival of the third wave of troops, the landing area along the coast was shot by mortars and machine guns, but the accuracy was very poor, and only a few boats were hit.
The third platoon under the command of Roberts landed on the front of the shoreline position of the Beiyang Army, jumped into the trench position covered by iron plates, and launched a hand-to-edge battle.
The bloody Rob said that he threw a grenade at the trench on the left. When he was about to throw a bomb on the right, his shoulder and right chest were hit and fell down. The grenade that had been pulled open in his hand slipped out.
"Dodge!" Rob said that he pressed the grenade with his body while warning his companions...
The bloody battle ended in just ten minutes, and the Beiyang soldiers in the trench position were completely annihilated. In the third row, including Robert, 8 people were killed and 28 were injured, losing their combat effectiveness.
......
When the soldiers of the Ai Bei Company of the 5th Marine Regiment approached the embankment, First Class Marine Lekqiang recognized through the smoke that the previous groups of soldiers had arrived climbed two ladders in front of their landing craft and climbed onto the embankment.
This is just like the silent recording movie played by Deep Blue College. When he sees the bloody war scene of the revolutionary army, he always bites his nails. Now on the real battlefield, he is very calm and feels good.
" Captain," someone shouted, "Stop these bastard ships."
Then, they all climbed up the seawall and crawled down. Lekqiang clung to the ground like everyone else until a sergeant shouted to them; "Come here, act quickly, marines, you can't live forever."
No one moved, and Lek Qiang was convinced that he would never go anywhere unless someone he knew asked him to act.
A grenade fell among them and smoked. A brave soldier picked it up without hesitation and threw it back.
"Damn!" Rike Qiang threw a few grenades in front of him and returned to the enemy.
Bum! The grenade exploded.
Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Sanqing Taoist ancestor, they were not thrown back. Because a soldier jumped into the enemy's bunker, put his arm into a gap, and grabbed the grenade until it exploded.
"Oh, my God, what kind of person is this!"
Reck gave the first aid on the battlefield to the fierce man who had fainted.
"His brother was just killed by the bullet shot from the bunker."
The captain ran over, followed by a field medical staff to take over the work of Lekqiang.
Finally, they got up and crossed the trenches. Under the leadership of the captain, they successfully climbed to the high ground.
......
Kings entered the battlefield with the fifth group of troops. When they approached the lake embankment, an amber flare rose over the lake beach, which meant that the first target of the 5th Marine Regiment had been captured.
However, when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the bright and bright shrapnels crossed their bow, and everyone bowed deeply in fear. Kings stared at the soldiers around him. Their faces were distorted by some emotion. With roaring bullets, their boats rushed over the embankment.
"Fight, Marine soldiers! Let the enemy tremble at our feet!"
Captain Xie Ning shouted without fear of egg pain, patting the soldiers on the back of their shoulders.
The soldiers jumped out of the bow, and an explosion made Kings jump out of the boat quickly and fall into the water three feet deep on the side of the boat. He jumped over the trench on the other side of the seawall and ran to a small slope to avoid bullets. In the dusk, the soldiers of the Marines marched towards a cliff in a zigzag shape.
At about 7 p.m., the lake beach had been captured, leaving only a small intermittent sound of gunfire.
......
The target of the second platoon under the command of Liao Si'er is a German brewery in the southeast of Hukou.
The second row crossed the shore wall damaged by the shelling. After landing, it passed through the gate and entered the city. Miao Sier rushed to the front. He excitedly rushed to the brothers behind him and shouted, "Have you ever drunk German beer? You will soon be able to taste German beer. I promise you can drink enough tonight..."
He once studied the navy in Germany and knew the taste of German beer very well. The brewery in Hukou was also a German. According to intelligence, this factory seems to be still in production.
Perhaps it is the attraction of German beer, with the power to speed up, the company where Mü Si'er is in is full of momentum, and the 11th road rushes into the city with full speed.
But when the second platoon arrived, the factory had been completely destroyed by rockets.
The fragments of wine bottles in the warehouse, and the beer dripping out are about to dry up.
"Our beer!"
"Why use rocket launchers!"
The second row smelled the intoxicating smell of beer and complained, looking for any surviving beer in the tattered warehouse.
"Captain Miao," a soldier ran in at this time, "the regiment commander ordered you to occupy the hill of the cemetery on behalf of the third row."
Miao Si'er was holding a piece of mouthwatering at the bottom of the beer bottle. Hearing this, he reluctantly threw down the bottom of the beer bottle and shouted, "Let's get together."
"Big boss, let's look for it again. The German beer in Tama is too delicious. Compared with this, the beer on the ship is simply stinging water... Let's look for it again, maybe we can find a little bit..."
The brothers below followed.
Miao Siyi licked his lips, or shouted, "What are you saying? Gathering! This is a military order! There is no room for bargaining!"
"Alas! If you don't smell German beer, you don't know how good German beer is..."
The second row set off again sullenly.
Climbing up the hill, it was found that the mortar platoon of the 226th Independent Regiment of the Beiyang Army Navy had been deployed on the hill, but they were stunned by the shelling of the National Revolutionary Army, and the soldiers sat blankly in the trenches.
"Gun and don't kill!"
"Hands up!"
With a bad temper, the second row occupied the cemetery hill with zero loss without a single shot.
After receiving the report, Head Pence fired a yellow flare symbolizing success at 5:55.
......
The 2nd Battalion of the right wing of the 5th Regiment is also progressing smoothly. The target of the 2nd Battalion is a hill on the south side of the German brewery. The 5th company will occupy the west high ground of the hill and the 4th company will ensure the central high ground.
The 5th company commanded by Jia Siji landed at 5:40 p.m. and occupied the western highlands at 6:21 p.m.
"Big boss, I have nothing to do. The Beiyang army here is full of soft eggs. It's really good. It's still the Beiyang Army in Nanxun!" A very strong platoon leader came to Jia Siji.
"You can do it!" Jia Siji glanced at him and said, "Look at you, it's like occupying Beijing and driving Yuan Shikai to Zhongnanhai to take a bath."
"Big boss, what should we do next?" This is the purpose of this explosive platoon leader.
The soldiers who easily occupied the destination were waiting for the action of the 4th company on its left side. They were impatient and launched this powerful platoon leader to fight.
"You are so arrogant," Jia Siji actually waited impatiently and looked at him sideways: "Do you dare to take your row to occupy the target of Company 4?"
After waiting for so long, he was worried about what special circumstances happened to the 4th company.
"What's the dare?" The platoon leader said and greeted the brothers.
One of the main problems with the landing at Hukou is the transportation of about 3,000 tons of supplies after the landing of the Marine Corps.
Xu Shaojiang, who is responsible for transportation, is worried and his head is full of sweat.
Tang Xiangming, Zhu Xiaoxian and others also had no choice for a while. A group of people were in a hurry.
After careful consideration, Li said, "It's better to rush the landing craft transport ship carrying materials directly to the coast and put it there as a warehouse."
Lee wants to remember that the Japanese army used this method in the Battle of Guadalcanal in the Pacific War.
"The Marines can completely guarantee that the transport ship will not be captured by the enemy." Li wanted to add another sentence.
"Although you don't have to worry about being taken away by the enemy, there is still a possibility of destruction." Tang Xiangming is a timid person, so he always likes to think about things in a bad way. It can also be said to be comprehensive.
Li Xiang also felt that Tang Xiangming's worry was not unfounded. There was indeed such a possibility, and he was distressed by the enemy.
"Well, eight of the oldest and most shabby ships were selected from the old landing ships requisitioned by the China Merchants Association to undertake this task." Li wanted to say.
The wall of the target coast is about 300 meters long, and the cargo ships are about 17 meters wide. Li wants to consider the spacing, so only up to eight ships can be stranded side by side.
Everyone thinks that Li Dashuai's brain is really good and a little evil.
"The crew is handed over to me," Zhu Xiaoxian said, "Because the task is only once, 5 generals and 60 officers and soldiers of the Guards have been recruited to help."
"That's it." Marshal Li made a deal.
The cargo ship was scheduled to depart before 5:30. The landing was not carried out together, but one by one towards the designated coast. The first two ships were not shot, and they were shot by mortars and machine guns from the third ship.
The ship that relies on the speed can rush up to the coast in one breath, while the slowly leaning ship can't rush up. Some boats are shot and caught fire, and the crew fight back with machine guns of 20mm and 40mm caliber.
The last three ships counterattacked fiercely, and as a result, the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment was regarded as the enemy.
The 4th company, which was preparing to move forward, was suddenly shot in the back, immediately causing 1 death and 23 injuries, so the 4th company's operation was delayed. Jia Siji, the commander of the 5th Company, was worried about this situation.
......
The victory of this day was brilliant. Only 20 Marines were killed and 179 were injured, including Gu Xin, the beautiful female reporter.
