After Zhang Fakui left, Xue Yue went to find Chen Cheng, explaining the strength of Jiujiang's defense, and hoped that he could persuade the chairman with him, but Chen Cheng refused.

"Boling, forget it, I'm for your good. The relationship between you and Zhang Fakui is well known, as well as your feelings for the Fourth Army, if you go to the committee seat, it will be counterproductive. ”

"Why do you want to make it when you know it's wrong!?"

Xue Yue's temper suddenly came up. Maybe Chen Cheng is right, anyone can persuade him, but he Xue Boling cannot, which will hurt Zhang Fakui.

Chen Cheng also felt helpless, and said: "The people in the staff headquarters don't know, they just haven't made a decision. In that case, why bother causing trouble. You also have to understand that the political impact of giving up Jiujiang easily is far-reaching. There is Anqing in front and Madang in the back, although Luo Zhuoying played well in Hukou, it is difficult to recover the consequences of Anqing and Madang's easy loss. ”

War is a continuation of politics, and Xue Yue deeply understood this sentence at this time.

Xue Yue returned to his headquarters with a depressed expression. But he still told Zhang Fakui as soon as possible, and asked him to prepare to defend Jiujiang in advance.

After Zhang Fakui returned to the headquarters, he handed over a supplementary regiment to Shao Fei's command, asked him to guard Gutang, and was ordered by the 11th Division.

This supplementary regiment has a main battalion as the base, and the rest of the troops are composed of some formations that have been broken up or wounded soldiers have returned to the team, and its combat can be seen to be average.

Subsequently, Shao Fei asked Zhang Fakui for an engineer company, Zhang Fakui resolutely agreed, and asked his nephew to assist Shao Fei as a deputy with Shao Fei.

Jiujiang City is now panicked, and there are more people out of the city than into the city, which is a unique scene in the imminent war.

On the streets, it is even more chaotic, and there are occasional robberies and smashes, and the police in the city are very busy. War is raging, and order, law, and morality are so vulnerable in the face of greedy human nature.

Shao Fei, the fortification of the position, handed it over to Chu Yunfan, and went to the hospital alone to visit his team members.

Entering the hospital, Shao Fei found that there were many fewer injured than before. The seriously wounded were transferred, and the lightly wounded were all rebuilt. This is Zhang Fakui's order, according to such a defense system, he really has no confidence in guarding Jiujiang.

"Hey, hey, hey, look who's coming, it's the senior official of the national army."

"Brothers, do you want to salute~"

"Cut~"

“……”

Shao Fei walked into the ward wearing a school uniform, and none of the special combat team members gave him a good face.

"When a man is not so stingy, he will have no friends, and there will be no women who like it."

Shao Fei walked in with a smile, patted the nurse who was helping the team members change their dressings, and asked, "Right, Miss Nurse." ”

The nurse shyly replied, "Sir, I don't know. In troubled times, women love heroes. ”

Xiaodao lay on the bed and complained: "Big brother, is it good to have a little humanitarianism." Before our injuries are fully healed, you want to call us to be born and die, bloody battlefields, and loyal to the country. ”

"The idiom is good." Shao Fei sat on the empty hospital bed and said, "Am I so inhumane as your captain?" ”

"Yes!"

Several other team members spoke in unison, and the nurse next to him laughed uncontrollably.

"You are my trump card, how can I be willing to ask you to be cannon fodder. Take care of your wounds, what about the pillars? ”

"He knew that it would be okay for you to be called by Zhang Fakui, so he did what he had to do."

Shao Fei stood up and said, "When you come back, tell him to go to Gutang to find me." ”

After speaking, Shao Fei left the ward.

"What is he doing here, just say a few words and leave, it's too inhuman."

"He's always been of the opposite sex and inhumane, the first day you met him."

At this time, the officers and men of the supplementary regiment were in full swing to build fortifications. Thousands of people were busy at the front of the position, as if they were working on a huge project.

How to build this beachhead was arranged by Shao Fei himself. He did not ask the soldiers to strengthen the position, nor did he place wooden stakes, barbed wire and other obstacles on the beachhead, but told the soldiers to dig trenches.

At the distance from the shore to the position, small ditches were dug in a straight line at intervals of one meter, and as for the stakes that were sent, all were sharpened and driven into the water, and the pointed ends must have just come out of the water.

As for the positions, they were all built in the shape of a ring, and each soldier dug a half-body anti-artillery hole in his position to prevent enemy shelling.

"What are they doing here?"

At this time, Zhang Fakui happened to bring officers from the General Staff Department to inspect the position. The officers looked at the beachhead and said that they were engaged in some kind of work, and it was better to say that they were farming.

Chu Yunfan found that Zhang Fakui had brought someone to inspect, and hurriedly put down the work in his hand and ran to Zhang Fakui with a sweat.

"Why, does a colonel have to work?"

"Comfortable. Much more comfortable than staying at the headquarters. ”

Zhang Fakui looked at Chu Yunfan, his expression was different than before. Maybe that's fine, at least it's better to be tired and busy and forget something, than to be quiet and full of cranky thoughts.

Zhang Fakui asked, "What about your regimental leader?" ”

"I'm going to see his team at the hospital." Chu Yunfan pointed ahead and said, "He's back." ”

Shao Fei drove a jeep to the position, and it didn't take long for him to stop in front of everyone.

Zhang Fakui called Shao Fei to a place where no one was there and asked Shao Fei to explain the situation of the position.

Shao Fei introduced: "The devil's attack is very orderly, whether it is the position of the infantry, the distance between them, or the trajectory of the machine gun, I do this to disrupt their rules." ”

Zhang Fakui felt that something was wrong and said, "Is it okay?" ”

Shao Fei looked at the river and said, "I will introduce water, as long as the hook is lower than the river." When it's done, put some pebbles in the hook, and as soon as the devil hooks it, it will be slipped. With so many hooks, the devils will care about their feet when they attack, and if they attack at night, they will die even worse. ”

"Hehe" Zhang Fakui then understood, and then said: "Even if it is shelled, it is a big puddle, right?" ”

"Hmm" Shao Fei nodded: "Also, I drove a wooden stake ten meters from the diving place, and it will be very troublesome for the devil to go ashore or retreat." As long as they dare to go ashore, I have a way to keep them coming back. The ditch is 50 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters deep, just enough for a soldier. If you really fight, the soldiers can attack in lurk. ”

"That's a good idea, I'll let other troops try it too."

"Commander, as long as you take advantage of favorable conditions, in fact, the infantry is not terrible. The terrible thing is still the shelling, and ask people to repair some anti-artillery holes. ”

"Hmm. I know. Zhang Fakui smiled and boasted: "You kid, you're really a ghost." ”

Shao Fei smiled ashamedly and said, "This is nothing. I have a comrade-in-arms, his name is Zhao Hongfei, he can make stones heat up, and he can bring a regiment into full play to the combat effectiveness of a division. ”

Zhang Fakui suddenly became curious and said, "I haven't heard of this person." If there were, his fame would have spread throughout the war zone. ”

"The time is not up. In the near future, his fame will far surpass that of falcons. ”

"Then I'll see."

Zhang Fakui breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he was on his mind.

"Commander, is there something wrong?"

"My nephew Chu Yunfan, what do you think of him?"

"This ...... I could feel that he had hatred in his heart, and it was very painful, as if he was looking for something to torture himself. Because I used to be like him, I still remember the Nanjing Massacre vividly, and it was very painful at that time. At that time, I was like a killing god, I killed the devil when I saw it, and I didn't leave a single captive. ”

Zhang Fakui sighed: "This is different, you are a national hate, he is a family hate." At the time of the Battle of Songhu, Yun Fan only cared about leading the troops to transfer, and his wife and two children stayed in Shanghai, but they were all killed by devils. I want you to look at him in this fight, he has thoughts of death. ”

"I understand. If he doesn't always think about revenge, maybe he is a good soldier. ”

"Please."

Zhang Fakui patted Shao Fei and left alone. That back feels like a loss.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers and supplies in the Hukou area had been replenished and were ready to go. The 101st Division took over the defense of the 106th Division at Hukou, and the Botian Detachment and the 106th Division continued to act as the vanguard and were preparing to attack Jiujiang.
