When some of Liu Feiyang's troops, led by Li Jinjiang, arrived at the headquarters of Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Third Corps, on a C-130 transport plane,

Commander Bai and Commander Li have also dispatched the supply troops requested by Liu Feiyang, and two regiments of new recruits are waiting for Liu Feiyang to receive them.

Because the two of them had received the weapons and equipment airdropped by Liu Feiyang one after another,

Including Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Third Corps, also received weapons and equipment as gifts from Liu Feiyang. Although they were only German weapons and equipment, they were already very good. As long as there were more weapons and equipment, they could fight against the Japanese troops, even

Completely cruel.

Of course, Liu Feiyang now does not have so many weapons and equipment to give to them, because he only relies on the small arsenals he set up to work overtime to produce them. Of course, the production lines and production equipment were all rewarded by the system before.

After Liu Feiyang led his troops to tour the three towns in Wuhan, he immediately communicated and telegraphed with Li Jingang, Commander Bai and Commander Li.

The officers and soldiers who commanded Li Jingang to receive the supplies could not immediately reach the headquarters of Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Third Corps, because he could not escape yet.

In addition to asking Li Jingang to receive all supply troops, he was also asked to immediately settle these troops, including his own troops, and also to assist in the defense of Anqing, an important town in southwestern Anhui.

Because once Anqing, the important town in southwestern Anhui, fell, it would mean that the Battle of Wuhan would begin.

To hold on to the important town of Anqing, we still need to carry out the defense battle of Madang Fortress.

The Madang blockage line is divided into two layers. "The bottom layer is made of lead wire to form a large net, and willow branches and rocks are spread inside. The cement is mixed and thrown into the river bottom section by section." The second layer is made of large iron anchors and large rocks placed on the river bottom.

In sailboats or iron barges, cement is first solidified and then sunk to the bottom to form numerous artificial reefs.

Moreover, before the war started, the Navy was laying mines one after another, including more than 700 newly developed light floating mines.

Although the navy also brought some 75mm field guns and 47mm naval guns to strengthen the defense of Madang Fortress against the incoming Japanese fleet, the firepower was still not enough to resist the incoming Japanese fleet.

Moreover, the Japanese army also attacked with a large number of carrier-based aircraft groups.

Therefore, Liu Feiyang's method of supporting Madang Fortress was to prepare to send a fighter group to fight the Japanese army, or to send a carrier-based aircraft group to bomb the Japanese fleet.

After Songhu and the capital Beijing fell,

Wuhan has become the development center of the capital,

It is for this reason that the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress emphasized early on: "The defenses of Madang, Hukou, Jiujiang, and Tianjia Town must be well defended and prevent the Japanese navy from going up the river. To this end, he also issued an order to the high command.

Blockade the Yangtze River of Madang Fortress, defend Wuhan, and consolidate Wuhan!

But the final battle in Wuhan is still approaching.

...

.......

The commander of the Third Corps, Sun Lianzhong, was stationed there. Commander Sun Lianzhong also personally brought his chief of staff, a group of officers, and guards to wait for the C-130 transport aircraft group Li Jingang and others took to arrive at their station.

So once Li Jinjiang and his C-130 transport fleet landed safely, all the officers and soldiers present under Sun Lianzhong's command, whether they were big or small officers, couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss! Is this Liu Feiyang so wealthy? He can actually engage in airborne transportation. It's really awesome!"

"When will our troops be as powerful as others!"

"We are either on foot for an emergency march, or we can only take trains or military vehicles for transportation to the battlefield. We are incomparable to them!"

Then many officers were envious and exclaimed.

Even Commander Sun Lianzhong and the senior officers around him had expressions of envy and disbelief on their faces.

Because they also didn't expect that Liu Feiyang really transported so many troops to his station by air.

So he finally understood why Liu Feiyang asked him to build a temporary airport for transport planes to land.

At that time, he thought that Liu Feiyang only had one or two transport aircraft, and they were probably the transport aircraft that the Chairman purchased from abroad to settle down.

But now that he saw the appearance of Liu Feiyang's C-130 transport fleet, he felt very complicated.

This new type of transport aircraft was not the ones he had seen or heard about before, but the latest type of transport aircraft.

So at this moment, the commander of the Third Corps, Sun Lianzhong, also deeply realized that Liu Feiyang's unit was extraordinary, so he wanted to curry favor with this thigh even more to get the weapons and equipment he wanted.

Then, the commander of the Third Corps, Sun Lianzhong, smiled brightly and took his team of officers to greet Liu Feiyang's troops who had already left the transport group.

Soon, Li Jinjiang, the leading officer, was also diplomatic and greeted Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Third Corps, with a standard military salute.

...

.......

At this moment, the national army defenders in Anqing did not know that the Japanese elite troops were on their way.

Major General Shigeichi Namada is commanding his Namada detachment, which is marching towards Anqing in a menacing manner.

The Namada detachment made outstanding achievements in the Battle of Wuhan. After the battle, Major General Shigeichi Namada was promoted to lieutenant general by the headquarters and transferred to the division commander of the 19th Division.

Then the captain of the Namada detachment was taken over by Major General Shojiro Iida, who was affiliated with the 21st Army of the Japanese Army.

"Baga Ya Road! You must speed up a little more. After tonight, we must station and deploy the Chinese Army in the outer area of ​​Anqing's defense!"

"This time in the Battle of Anqing, we must achieve a great victory. I want all the Chinese troops to know how powerful our Botian detachment is! The glory will definitely belong to our Botian detachment!"

"Quickly speed up my progress, quick!"

"Forward! Forward!"

Major General Shigeichi Namada, the leader of the Namada detachment, stopped in the middle of the road, shouting loudly while directing his troops to march quickly.

When he shouted like this, the entire Japanese army of the Botian detachment also quickly accelerated their marching speed, because they were also eager to show good combat effectiveness to win over the first Japanese army to enter Wuhan and achieve a dazzling victory.

glory.

Therefore, Major General Shigeichi Hatada planned to command the Japanese officers and soldiers of the entire Hatada detachment. On June 12, in the heavy rain and before dawn, the Okamoto troops were first stationed near Xinqiaokou in the northeast of Anqing.

After logging in,

Then two commandos were sent out at the same time to capture the positions at the fastest fighting speed, and they were able to attack and enter the city of Anqing on the same day.

According to incomplete statistics, from June 1938 to July 1945, various counties in Anqing were bombed by the Japanese army, burning more than 20,000 houses, killing and killing nearly 3,000 people, and injuring and maiming nearly 2,000 people.

Countless properties were robbed.

There are also all kinds of burning, killing, looting, and all kinds of evil things happening.

...

...

And just as the Botian detachment was marching urgently,

The Japanese Marine Corps is also getting ready to join forces with the Japanese Army to complete the occupation and mopping up of Anqing City to seize Anqing, the first line of defense in Wuhan.

At the same time, the Third Flying Regiment of the Japanese Air Force had also dispatched a large number of aircraft and were on their way to bomb Anqing.

In addition, the Japanese fleet also started combat operations.

At that time, the Japanese navy, land and air force quickly began the offensive to capture Anqing and the Madang Fortress.

Regarding this, the national army troops stationed in Anqing knew nothing about it.

The national army stationed in Anqing is the 134th Division of the 27th Group Army led by Commander-in-Chief Yang Sen.

In particular, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Botian Detachment of the Central China Expeditionary Army, which was mainly attacking Anqing, as well as the artillery regiment, were preparing to land on the north and south banks 20 kilometers away from Anqing.

For this reason, the national army has not yet detected the Japanese offensive move.

The crisis is approaching safety step by step.
