Chongqing, the headquarters of the national army.

It had been almost half an hour since the telegram was sent.

Chen Shi waited a little impatiently, and asked the communications staff officer: "The Wuhan Garrison Command has not replied yet?" ”

The communications staff officer shook his head, and just as he was about to say that he hadn't yet, another communications staff officer hurriedly walked over with a folder, then opened the folder, took out a telegram, and handed it to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi took the telegram and looked at it, and immediately stupidly there.

Seeing this, Principal Chang frowned slightly, and asked, "Resignation, what does the telegram say?" ”

Chen Shizheng was stunned there, and replied without thinking about it at the moment: "!" ”

The word dry is a polysemy word, in addition to the meaning of work, there is also the meaning of scolding.

Hearing Chen Shi's words, Principal Chang's brows immediately tightened even more, but Bai Chongbei, He Yingpei, Xu Yongsheng, Lin Wei and others looked sideways.

What's the situation? Chen Shi took medicine today?

Chen Shi, who has always been known for being good at slapping horses, actually dared to openly contradict the principal?

Wang Shihe, who was standing behind Principal Chang, looked cold in an instant, and his right hand subconsciously stretched out to the holster on his waist, if Chen Shi didn't have a reasonable explanation next, he was afraid that he would take out a gun and kill someone!

Fortunately, Chen Shi reacted quickly enough, and as soon as he said the dry words, he realized that something was wrong.

At that moment, Chen Shi hurriedly said: "The Wuhan Garrison Command replied with such a word, do!" ”

"What?" Principal Chang said expressionlessly, "Show it to me." ”

Chen Shi hurriedly handed over the telegram in his hand.

Principal Chang took the telegram, only to see that there was only one word on the copying paper: Dry!

Lin Wei, He Yingpei and others, who were standing next to them, couldn't help but squint and peek over, and when they saw this dry word on the telegram, several senior generals couldn't help but be a little stunned.

What the fuck is this?

Zhong Yi replied with such a word?

At this time, Liu Sheng suddenly said: "I remember that before the evacuation of Wuhan, I had several contacts with Zhong Yi, and one of the words he often said was, don't be cowardly, just roll up your sleeves and do it!" ”

After a pause, Liu Sheng continued: "Only reply to one dry word, which shows that Zhong Yi has made up his mind to fight the Japanese army in Wuhan to the end!" ”

Bai Chongbei nodded and said, "That's right, that's what Zhong Yi meant!" ”

Chen Shi said angrily when he heard this: "Let's keep it, why do you send such a word for us to guess the riddle, is it fun?" ”

The point is, it made him so ugly in front of the principal, it's really unbearable for uncles and aunts, it's too much!

"That's it!" Principal Chang waved his hand and said, "Since Zhong Yi has decided to defend, let him defend, the soldiers in the army have the ambition to kill and serve the country, we can't stop them, you say?" ”

After a pause, Principal Chang said: "Not only can we not stop it, but we must also encourage and reward it, and we must call on all the soldiers of the army and the military and people of the whole country to learn from them!" ”

Speaking of this, Principal Chang turned his gaze to He Yingpei and said: "Respectfully, immediately call the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, in order to commend their relatives and their patriotism, as well as the courage to dare to fight to the death against the Japanese invaders, Feng Yuxiang is specially awarded the first-class Baoding Medal, Zhong Yi is the third-class Baoding Medal, and the rest of the generals are awarded the third-class Yunlu Medal!" ”

In just a few moments, a large number of Yunlu medals were wholesaled.

Compared to a year ago, the Yunlu Medal is now a rotten street.

"Yes!" He should be admired, and he should be praised.

……

In Hankow, the real battle has begun!

Less than half an hour after the suicide attack of the Japanese air force, nearly 200 large-caliber heavy artillery pieces of the 10th Wing, the 5th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery, and the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery directly under the Second Army of the Japanese Second Army began to bombard Hankou indiscriminately.

Among them, the 6th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery has just been rebuilt.

Because the original 6th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery was already on the outskirts of Jinshan County, let the 367th Regiment be destroyed!

The shelling of Hankow by the Japanese artillery group lasted for nearly forty minutes, and after the shelling was over, the whole of Hankow was shrouded in billowing smoke!

……

The fortress of Wudang Palace on the left flank of Hankow.

Liu Jiahao, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Guard Brigade, looked out through the shooting hole and saw only billowing smoke.

Suddenly, Liu Jiahao faintly heard a slight chatter of teeth in his ears, and when he looked back, he saw the guard Erbao who had just been received shrinking in the corner, his legs trembling slightly.

It was clear that Erbao was full of fear for the upcoming battle.

Liu Jiahao beckoned and motioned for Erbao to sit beside him, and Erbao dragged his gun and crawled over.

After coming to Liu Jiahao's side, Erbao said embarrassedly: "Yingzao, am I useless?" ”

"Nope." Liu Jiahao smiled slightly, and said gently, "When I first joined the army, I was more timid than you, and I was not afraid of your jokes when I said it, I let the devil's bayonet scare mee." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Erbao immediately became interested.

Liu Jiahao continued: "That was five years ago! ”

"What happened five years ago?" Erbao Dao, "The Great Wall of Resistance? ”

"Yes, the Great Wall of Resistance." Liu Jiahao fell into reminiscences and said, "As soon as our division arrived at the battlefield, we were ordered to rush to the aid of Gubeikou, but it was just in time for the Northeast Army Zhang Tingshu's brigade to collapse without a fight. ”

"At that time, I had only joined the army for less than three months, how had I ever seen this meeting?"

"I was stunned to see many robes stabbed to death by little devils with bayonets, and many little devils were stabbed to death by their comrades!"

"I felt like my feet were filled with lead, and I couldn't walk, and then, a devil pounced on me, and I could only watch the devil's bayonet stab me in the lower abdomen, but I couldn't move!"

"In the end, it was our company commander who blocked the devil and picked up his life, only to find out that the crotch of his pants was already wet, and I let the little devil's bayonet scare me to pee, do you say it's a shame?"

Erbao hurriedly shook his head and said hurriedly: "Don't be ashamed, you killed a lot of little devils in the camp!" ”

Liu Jiahao patted the back of Erbao's head and said, "So don't feel that you are useless, every veteran comes from a recruit, and there is this stage." ”

was said by Liu Jiahao, and Erbao didn't feel ashamed.

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the observation post ahead.

Liu Jiahao immediately took out his Browning pistol and shouted: "It's all there, ready to fight!" ”

When Erbao heard this, his whole body immediately tightened, his left hand held the rifle, and his right hand subconsciously wanted to pull the bolt, but he found that his right hand trembled so much that he couldn't pull it away after pulling it several times.

It took a long time for Erbao to finally pull the bolt.

When I looked out through the shooting hole, I saw that the smoke outside the bunker had already faded a lot.

In the faint smoke of gunpowder, dozens of devils opened the straggler line and were rushing over with bayonets.
