Chapter 627: Heavy Shelling

Half an hour ago, Zhu Liangcheng was assigning tasks to the three battalion commanders of the 367 Brigade 1st Regiment.

Zhu Liangcheng pointed to the map and said: "Considering that this is the last general attack of the devils, its intensity will definitely be the largest since the outbreak of the Wuhan Defense War, so the garrison headquarters has reduced the frontal defense width of our 367 Brigade as appropriate, and now we only need to be responsible for the 500-meter front from the Lei Zu Temple on the left to the God of Wealth Temple on the right!" ”

Chi Peng, Zhao Hanxing, and Hu Qing glanced at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the defense of the 367th Brigade is still 1,000 meters wider, then in the face of the general attack of the Japanese army, they will really be a little powerless!

After a pause, Zhu Liangcheng said again: "Regarding the deployment of troops, the 1st regiment will be responsible for defense on the first day, the 2nd regiment will be responsible for defense on the second day, and the 3rd regiment will be responsible for defense on the third day, as for the fourth day, it will be determined according to the situation, so your three battalions will survive the first day of the decisive battle for me no matter what!" ”

"Got it!" The three of them nodded vigorously.

"That's how the defense is deployed." Zhu Liangcheng pointed to the map again and said, "The 1st Battalion is the first echelon, responsible for defending the area between the Hankou Railway Station and the Niangniang Palace!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Liangcheng stared at Chi Peng again and said, "Old Chi, no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, in short, you must hold on until noon today, and you can retreat after noon!" ”

"Don't worry!" Chi Peng snapped upright, and said, "The 1st battalion guarantees to complete the task!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng nodded, turned his gaze to Zhao Hanxing, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, and said: "The 2nd Battalion is the second echelon, responsible for defending the area between Niangniang Hall and Datong Street, and the requirement for you is to hold on until evening!" ”

"Don't worry!" Zhao Hanxing stood up violently and said proudly, "The 2nd battalion will never let you down!" ”

"I made a note of it!" Zhu Liangcheng nodded, his eyes finally fell on Hu Qing's face, and he said in a deep voice, "Old Hu, your 3rd battalion is the third echelon, responsible for defending the block between Datong Street and Taiping Lane, and the requirement for your 3rd battalion is to stick to it until dawn tomorrow, and you are not allowed to retreat half a step before dawn!" ”

Hu Qing stood up and said loudly: "Yes!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng said again: "Okay, let's go!" ”

Chi Peng and the three of them stood up again, saluted Zhu Liangcheng, and walked away.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Chi Peng had already come to the Niangniang Palace, and his camp headquarters was here!

As soon as he arrived at the battalion headquarters, Chi Peng immediately summoned his three company commanders together!

These three company commanders are Yao Buqing, the commander of the 1st Company, Yang Jinqiu, the commander of the 2nd Company, and Hong Shijin, the commander of the 3rd Company, all of whom are veterans of the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy!

Chi Peng spread out the map, pointed to the map and said: "The task assigned to our 1st Battalion by the brigade seat is to defend the Leizu Hall from the left, the God of Wealth Temple on the right, the ruins of the Hankou Railway Station in the north, and the Niangniang Hall in the south!" And at least until noon! Now I'm going to do the division of labor! ”

The three company commanders straightened their feet and stood tall at the same time.

Chi Peng continued: "The 1st Company is responsible for the 150-meter width of the middle road, the 2nd Company is responsible for the 150-meter width of the left flank, and the 3rd Company is responsible for the 150-meter width of the right flank, but remember, don't put all your forces in front, the devil is the last general attack this time, and will definitely send out all the tanks and infantry to support the firepower, so put at most one platoon on the front!" Of the remaining two platoons, one platoon is deployed in depth of the position, and the other is reserved for reserves! ”

"Understood!" The three company commanders nodded vigorously at the same time.

Chi Peng finally said: "Finally, let me say it again, if I Chi Peng dies in battle, I will go up in the order of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd company commanders, if all the company commanders are killed, I will go up in the order of the platoon commander, and if the platoon commander is also all killed, I will go up in the order of the squad leader, in short, even if I fight to the last pawn, I must not let the devil cross the Niangniang Palace by half a step!" ”

"Yes!" Yao Buqing, Yang Jinqiu and Hong Shijin responded to Hong Ran.

"That's it!" Chi Peng waved his hand and said, "Now let's go back to our respective positions!" ”

……

Five minutes later, Yao Buqing had already returned to the underground command post of the 1st Company.

The first thing he did after returning to the underground shelter was to gather his three platoon commanders, and then convey Chi Peng's instructions to several platoon commanders.

"Brothers, I won't say anything superfluous, in short, this will be the last general attack of the devils, as long as we resist this wave of general attacks of the devils, our main force will launch a counterattack, and we will win this battle! "

"So, you must cheer up all your spirits and fight with the devil! "

"Fight! "

"Fight! "

"Fight! "

The three platoon commanders shouted in unison.

The next moment, the Japanese artillery shells fell overwhelmingly.

In an instant, the entire town of Hankou was shaken!

……

Sentinel Chen Yumen clasped his fists on his chest and lay in the ruins of the train station without moving!

"Boom!" A large-caliber shell landed less than 50 meters away and exploded, and the sound of the explosion almost broke Chen Yumen's eardrums!

A moment later, a furious shockwave was transmitted from the ground beneath him!

Even with two fists under his chest, Chen Yumen felt numb!

If you don't have a fist to put on your chest, just this shockwave can shake people to death!

Immediately afterwards, the rubble, gravel and mud and sand kicked up by the shock wave fell overwhelmingly, and this is not ordinary rubble and mud and sand, but rubble, gravel and mud with high temperatures!

Half of Chen Yumen's body was instantly buried by the rubble, rubble and mud that fell from the sky! Moreover, the military uniform and military pants around the right half of the buried side began to smoke! The scorching heat soon invaded Chen Yumen's body through the thin military uniform and military pants, burning his teeth!

But Chen Yumen gritted his teeth and held back, and his body didn't move!

It's not that Chen Yumen doesn't want to move, in fact, he wants to get up and slap the hot mud and gravel that fell off and fell on his body!

But he couldn't, because the air was full of high-speed flying shell fragments, rubble, mud, sand and gravel, and if he couldn't stand up at this time, he would most likely be hit by shell fragments, rubble, or mud and gravel! If that's the case, most of his little life will be confessed here!

"Boom!" Two more large-caliber shells fell.

An even stronger shock wave was transmitted from underground, shaking Chen Yumen!

Immediately after, more rubble, rubble and mud fell from the sky!

At this moment, Chen Yumen is no longer half of his body, but most of his body is buried, and only one head is still exposed outside the soil!

But fortunately, the rubble, gravel and mud and sand that fell before have gradually cooled down, and with this layer of rubble, gravel and mud and sand protection, I finally don't have to endure the unbearable high temperature!

Chen Yumen prayed that no more rubble would fall!

Otherwise, he would have been buried alive!
