The white waves and black water are filled with fog. The vast river surface is covered with dense layers of ships of all sizes. The sound of the whistle and lights is heard, pressing the river and swallowing the river, and the rumbling river is coming up, with a depressing and vigorous momentum. ≈

In the sky three or four hundred meters above the river, dozens of Japanese planes hovered at a low altitude, like eagles foraging, rushing towards the target on the ground with a ferocious spirit.

Dark clouds pressed over the top.

After the Japanese Hatan Detachment occupied Anqing, it rested for three days, collected a large number of civilian ships and transported barges, and handed over the city to the garrison troops who rushed over from behind. Under the cover of the 11th Navy, nearly 15,000 elite troops rushed to the frontier position of China J-peng fortress, which cost countless money and was designed by the consultant of the moral affairs of China.

The next goal of the Hatan Detachment is Hukou, but to take Hukou, you must cross the horse to the fortress, and there is no second road.

Madang Fortress is located in the northeast of Pengze, Jiangxi, only 80 miles away from Jiujiang. It is the main throat route from the Yangtze River to Jiangxi, Hubei. The middle of the river is a sandbank, which divides the river surface into two pieces. The waterway in the north has long been blocked, and the waterway in the south is very narrow and the water flows fast. Madang Ruo is on the shore. Although this rock is only more than 100 meters high, the situation is abrupt and steep, making it an excellent natural fortress.

In order to intercept the Japanese army to go upstream, the National Government had already established the Yangtze River Blocking Committee, which was specifically responsible for implementing enemy-rejecting projects in fortresses in various places.

Madang's blocking project is different from other fortresses. Other fortresses are filled with stones with ships, then drove to the designed position and sank.

Madang built a river dam directly in the river water, leaving a gap that could pass through a boat just near the south bank.

The bottom layer of the blocking line is a large net formed by lead wire, which is stuffed with branches and stones, stirred with cement, and then sank at the bottom of the river.

To avoid the impact of the rapids, we use fixed iron anchors to pull up the upstream and block them with wooden stakes that hit the bottom of the river downstream. The middle layer is sailboats and barges, which push sharp boulders and iron anchors inside, and they are also solidified with cement to make artificial reefs like shark teeth.

After the blocking line hidden in the river water is completed, it is about two feet lower than the water surface. At this moment, during the flood season of the Yangtze River, the water surface rises, and the reef reaches 5 feet from the water surface. So a layer of overall construction is carried out and a layer of rocks is added upstream of the reef. (The above is written in the information, not plagiarism of the little wind)

Finally, this is the most powerful thing, which is that there are three mine lines arranged on the water surface, with more than a thousand mines hidden underwater. As long as the enemy ship passes here, as long as it encounters, it will definitely blow up to pieces.

There are also turrets and machine gun positions controlling the river at the dangerous peaks on both sides of the shore. Such a line of defense is solid, and it was completed under the supervision of the Germans. Its quality is more than a hundred times stronger than the national defense fortifications outside Nanjing?

This may be Du Guangting's confidence in the fact that Madang Fortress can hold on for at least three months.

If you just clear mines, the Japanese army may not be able to do it for a month. What's more, you just finished placing your front foot and I will make up for you.

This is an unsolvable proposition.

Originally, the sun was scorching, but suddenly it was dark, covering the sky and the sky suddenly became dark.

In the silent upstream, the shadows were floating with bright black ball objects, like the pearls left by the Emperor of Heaven on the earth.

The thunder floats over the Yangtze River like black pearls, and bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the home.

More than a dozen Japanese-Bennial Navy minesweepers lined up, with steel cables as thick as fingers connected between each two, drawing water lines on the river surface.

Boom boom boom boom...

With loud noises that broke through the world, water columns rushed straight into the sky, mud and sand at the bottom of the river were rolling up, and there were also terrified fish, which seemed to have no ability to resist the great power that humans had emerged.

You can only follow the trend and be bullied.

The Japanese minesweeping boats were operating in minesweeping, but as long as they entered the minefield, they would be bombarded by the Chinese teams on both sides of the strait. Although the artillery on the Japanese ships had a long range, the shore artillery position was designed very cleverly. Moreover, considering the Japanese naval gun attack, the Japanese naval gun attack did not have much effect.

Only by bombing my horse from the air as the fortress position, water columns dozens of meters high rose up on the river for a time.

On the deck of the Japanese minesweeping command ship, less than 100 meters away from the minesweeping boat, commander Captain Okamoto's legs stand on the deck and holding a saber in both hands. He is undergoing a joint interview between Yomiuri Shimbun reporter Saburo Wakatsuki and Alliance News Agency reporter Hiroo Shimoto.

"Okamoto-kun, your troops have made great contributions to the capture of Anqing. What do you think about this battle?" asked Shizu.

"It is the sacred war for peace in East Asia that is the duty of our soldiers of the Kingdom of God to fulfill their duties and the headquarters will resolutely complete the combat mission," Okamoto said with a burning look on his eyes.

"Okamoto-kun..." Another reporter Ruoyue was about to ask, but suddenly saw that the other party's expression was a little abnormal, so he quickly turned his head and looked forward.

A black guy suddenly appeared on the water, as big as a calf...

"Danger, turn the rudder quickly, turn the rudder..." Okamoto screamed in horror, his throat trembled. The helmsman in the cockpit hurriedly slammed the rudder to the left. The ship turned sideways, but the huge water flow caused the big guy to quickly hit the waist of the ship.

boom!

The explosion sounded across the river, and hundreds of ships of all sizes, like beans in a dustpan, were all shocked.

The minesweeper boat, who was working very hard, suddenly felt a strong sense of shaking from behind, and couldn't help but turn around.

A scene that will last for them forever.

The command ship Lihua was blown into two pieces by waist-length, and instantly sank into the bottom of the river, forming a vortex of hundreds of meters in radius. It was like a funnel suddenly appeared on the river surface. The panic flute sounded like a warning. The soldiers who fell into the water rushed out and fled to this funnel that devoured life.

The shipwreck stirred up a mass of water columns that soared into the sky, like a liquid mushroom cloud produced after the nuclear explosion, which was spectacular.

After the waves were calm, a huge blank appeared there. Three ambulance boats rushed over and searched by the blind people there. There were no living or dead, and there were not even blood stains, and there were no relics!

A warship and more than a hundred living Japanese naval officers and soldiers loaded on it actually disappeared without a trace under their eyes and noses.

The first dispatched the fleet flagship "Anzhai".

The 11th Team Major General Commander Asimijiro and Hiroichi Hatano stood on the podium, lowered their telescopes, and watched silently at the sinking waters of the Lihua Ship.

"Your Excellency Commander, there is a flowing eastward in front of you, right?" Hatan asked, pointing to the navigation map on the podium.

"Yes, Hatanjun." Asami said with a gloomy face and looked at Ean, "But there are at least 5 nautical miles left."

Asami's ex-girlfriend Kondo was shot to death by the "King of Cold Hell" at that Nanjing entry ceremony. He was still a naval colonel at that time. When Kondo died, he was by his side. He would never forget the tragic scene in his life.

He didn't want to be killed as a scumbag as well.

At this moment, the air defense alarm suddenly sounded, and a red signal flare cut through the sky.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..." The sailors on the ship started to scream and howl.

Flag words, flutes, horns, people roar...

In the sky in the southwest, more than a dozen small black dots appeared faintly, and the sound of the thunder thunder came from far to near, and in a blink of an eye, it came over the Yangtze River.

The Chinese Air Force is here, although they are a little late tonight...

The Japanese army attacked the blocked positions that Madang wanted to scatter for two days and suffered heavy casualties. In order to open up the Madang passage, the Japanese naval ships were fiercely attacked by artillery soldiers on both sides of the strait. The minesweeping boats of the minesweeping troops would be overturned by artillery fire from the Chinese defenders as soon as they approached the mine-building waters.

The soldiers of the Hatan Detachment could only watch their minesweeper boats from afar as if they were watching an open-air movie.

According to incomplete statistics, within two days, the Japanese "Magpie" warship was shot and caught fire, the "Lihua" gunboat hit a mine and sank, and three motorboats were buried in the Yangtze River.

The war drums of Madang Fortress sounded thunder, while Leng Feng personally took a group of young staff officers and officers under him to embark on the road to inspect the defense zone.

It is impossible to grasp the situation on the front line when sitting at home, so before formulating a counterattack plan, she must first understand the personnel arrangement and training of her own troops. What is important is to survey the combat effectiveness of each unit.

Leng Feng's first stop was the 8th Army, and the first to inspect was the 4th Division stationed in Yuncheng and Caozhou.

This division is composed of officers and soldiers from the Sichuan Army and some tax police regiments. According to the scale of the reorganized Arc Division, the entire division was 12,000, but in fact less than 10,000 people. The division commander was Wang Zhizhong, the original commander of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, and the deputy commander was Luo Lirong, the former commander of the 4o Division.

Wang Zhizhong also served as the deputy commander of the 8th Army. He has been familiar with Leng Feng for a long time and has had an intimate cooperative relationship between the two sides.

Moreover, after this reorganization, this Sichuan Army unit was basically separated, and Wang Zhizhong and these remaining Sichuan Army officers also joined the dependent central faction.

Leng Feng was most worried about the difficulty of combining two troops with different styles. After all, their training and education were completely different.

The original 4o division was greatly influenced by the American army, while the Sichuan Army was more traditional. Putting these two troops together directly makes it very likely to fight.

Luo Yufeng's solution was to organize the remaining Sichuan Army officers and soldiers into a brigade and the Tax Police Corps into a brigade.

Then, by exchanging officers, one-third of the grassroots officers were replaced first, and one-third of the middle-level officers were replaced.

In this way, the two teams miraculously worked out very well.

Leng Feng went to the grassroots level, did not listen to reports, did not give instructions, did not make special contributions, did not interfere with the life, study and training of grassroots troops, listen, watch, and hold a symposium of grassroots officers and soldiers, and senior officers from their subordinate troops were not allowed to participate.

The purpose is to understand and master the real situation of front-line officers and soldiers' thoughts, lives and battles.

Along the way, Leng Feng was not only concerned about the issues of the troops, but also paid great attention to people's livelihood issues. He basically stopped and stopped every time he went to a village and town, he had to stop, walked, looked, and asked questions.

To be a good home in northern Henan, it is not enough to just command wars, and it is not enough to just have a heart to benefit the people. You must understand the actual situation and know the actual needs of the people.

"Military, this is today's battle report. Hankou just came here."

"What's fresh?" Leng Feng was snatching the garlic and eating fried noodles.

"The Japanese attack on Madang was once again frustrated. Today, it probably lost another minesweeper boat and killed more than a dozen sailors. Our Air Force dispatched four SB-2 bombers to bomb Japanese warships. The results are as follows..."

"Zhang Zhongling, the New 39th Brigade, reported that he ambushed a Japanese grain collection team in Zhengguantun near Wucheng today..."

"When will the 'Anti-Japanese Military and Political University' by Li Yunqing hold the graduation ceremony?" Leng Feng asked.

"I don't think I've heard of this."

"Let the Inspectorate Office ask the Military Control Commission for inquiries and say I asked." Leng Feng ordered.

"Yes." Guo Weiquan didn't know why Leng Feng suddenly became interested in this matter.
Chapter completed!
