On the evening of August 19, Wang Xitao, the former commander of the Madao Fortress and now the acting commander of the 16th Army, did not know what his nerves were, and suddenly appeared on the defensive position of the 815th Regiment of the 53rd Division near Dongliu with a group of officers from the military headquarters of the 16th Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info For Wang Xitao's sudden visit, Wu Yuyuan, the new head of the 815 regiment, was a little surprised, this "care" from the peak is really not the right time!

In Commander Wu's impression, Wang Xitao is not the kind of senior general who has the courage to haunt the line of fire, otherwise how could Wang Xitao, the former commander of the Madao Fortress, be eaten to death by Li Yunheng, the veteran commander of the 16th Army, while in office?

Wu Yuyuan, a native of Jiangxi, participated in the Battle of Songhu with the Central Army, and graduated from the Wuhan Field Training Corps a month ago and was transferred to the 16th Army stationed in the garrison area of Madang. According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for an "outsider" like Wu Yuyuan to become the commander of a main regiment like the 815th Regiment as soon as he joined the 16th Army, and it was the "Ma Yuan Trip" of Huang Haoran, the commander of the Wuhan garrison, that changed Wu Yuyuan's future dramatically a few days ago.

The original commander of the 815 Regiment was involved in the previous "Military Academy Incident" and was sent to the Judge Advocate General's Office by Huang Haoran, and as a rare "powerful faction" in the 815 Regiment, Wu Yuyuan was appointed as the acting head of the lieutenant colonel.

At first, this "flying Hengfu" made Wu Yuyuan dizzy and speechless, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Wu Yuyuan found that the burden on him, the acting head of the regiment, was really not easy!

Who is Huang Haoran? That is the hottest anti-Japanese war general of the Wuhan government! Wherever you put it, you are a character in your own right! Good steel is never on the cutting edge! Since the supreme authorities have asked Huang Haoran to take on the burden of Wuhan's river defense, I am afraid that the next target of the little devil will be on both sides of the Yangtze River!

Based on the same reason, after Huang Haoran took office, he rushed to the horse without even entering the gate of the headquarters, and quickly solved the chaos of more than a dozen senior officers such as Li Yun, is Huang Haoran's move just a coincidence? I'm afraid even a fool wouldn't think so!

Huang Haoran's thunderous means at Ma Dai can only prove one thing, that is, the Japanese will soon attack the Ma Dai garrison area!

And Dongliu Town, where Wu Yuyuan's 815th Regiment was stationed, happened to be the most advanced position of the 16th Army! So from the day he became the acting head of the 815 regiment, Wu Yuyuan knew that war was imminent!

In the previous "military academy incident", the 815 regiment lost a total of 37 officers above the platoon commander level and nearly 300 soldiers, of which only 13 were arrested by the military police, and most of them took off their military uniforms and fled immediately after the gunshots were fired. The situation of several other main regiments of the 16th Army was also similar to that of the 815th Regiment.

Don't look at the number of the 16th Army, which ranks quite high in the Central Army, this army is an out-and-out "miscellaneous card in the lineage". The predecessor of the 16th Army was the 53rd Division of the Hunan warlords, and before the Central Plains War, the highest authorities expanded the 53rd Division of the Hunan Army into the 16th Army in order to strengthen the combat strength of the department, and appointed Li Yun, a full straw bag, as the army commander.

Since Li Yun took office, he has always regarded the 16th Army as his "tool for making a fortune," and has wantonly installed cronies, bought and sold officials, and looted money in the army, and has seldom made efforts in training and training. After several years of hard work, the 16th Army not only had extremely backward ordnance and had not been updated, but even the quality of its soldiers ranked among the bottom few in the Central Army due to a serious lack of training.

When such a rotten army meets a well-equipped Japanese army, it is natural that there will be no good fruit to eat. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the officers and soldiers of the 16th Army threw themselves into the Battle of Songhu without hesitation with patriotic enthusiasm, but ended up with heavy casualties.

As a large number of veterans and backbones melted into the soil of the Songhu battlefield, the outdated ordnance that was already insufficient was discarded on the way to retreat, and the combat strength of the 16th Army, which was withdrawn from the Songhu front, can be said to be extremely low, even worse than the security forces in some places.

If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese army needed to invest a lot of military strength in the Battle of Wuhan, and the 5th and 9th theaters divided up most of the elite in the hands of the Wuhan government, the Military Commission would not have taken out the equipment in stock and the recruits who had just finished training to restore the 16th Army! Even after receiving these additions, it is difficult to say whether the 16th Army will be able to hold back the two infantry wings of the Japanese army.

Well, now that more than a thousand officers and soldiers were lost at once in the "Military Academy Incident", this was a big blood loss for the 16th Army, which already had a lot of recruits! The 16th Army, which had barely been able to fight after resting and recuperating, fell back into the storm!

Wu Yuyuan didn't want him to become the next officer of the 16th Army to be sent to the Judge Advocate General's Office! Since he judged that the 815 Regiment would soon be on the line of fire, everything he did after taking office was related to improving the combat effectiveness of the troops, and Wu Yuyuan almost never slept at all, seizing all the time to surprise promote officers, compress the troops, and enrich the number, as long as it was something that had an effect on improving combat effectiveness, he was willing to do it!

But the Japanese left too little time for Wu Yuyuan! When the Japanese warship fired the first shot at the fortress, the combat effectiveness of the 815th Regiment was only restored by about 8 percent! As long as the Japanese army has a large battalion of troops landing in Dongliu, then his 815th regiment can only give up its position!

Even though the artillery battle between the Japanese naval fleet and the defenders of Madao Fortress was in full swing during the whole day, but there was not a single Japanese gunboat on the river near Dongliu, Wu Yuyuan did not dare to relax in the slightest! The attack on the horse stall shows that the devil has made up his mind to launch a full-scale attack! Since the Japanese army wants to attack Wuhan along the Yangtze River, then Dongliu will definitely start fighting!

Time, for the current 815 regiment, every second of time is extremely precious! Since the combat effectiveness of the troops cannot be improved in a short period of time, the 815th Regiment can only work the fortifications if it wants to hold out in the eastward flow until the reinforcements arrive! Whether it is one more mine planted on the beachhead or one more shovel of soil on the fortifications, it is possible to save a life in the next battle! Where do you say that Wu Yuyuan still has time to receive Wang Xitao and his party now?

"Damn! Nothing more! It's important to fight! Staff Officer Zhou, you take a few people to the general's seat and they will receive the regimental headquarters, and then find a way to deal with it...... The rest of us are coming to the front with me! Fortifications! Reserve ammo! Sweep the shooting boundary! These are our top priorities right now! If anyone dares to leave his post without permission, Lao Tzu will kill him! ”

Wu Yuyuan decided to let it go! If you offend the chief, you will offend the chief! Anyway, if the 815th Regiment loses its name, his future for Wu Yuyuan will definitely be ruined! It's better to give it a go in the East Exile! Maybe you can spell a path!
