That night, two groups of Japanese army and air attack planes helped Huang Haoran a lot, and because there was an air battle over Wuchang throughout the night, the military police headquarters ordered martial law and light control throughout the city. The poignant air raid sirens www.biquge.info and the military and police lining the streets not only blocked the footsteps of Wuhan citizens from going out to enjoy the coolness, but also blocked the officials who planned to come to give gifts to Huang Haoran.

Fortunately, although people can't come in person, the gift list can still be delivered! And in order to make up for the regret of not being able to visit Huang Haoran, those officials and generals added some gifts to the gift list they had prepared.

So as soon as the sky dawned the next day, Huang Haoran, who came out of the underground air-raid shelter and walked out lazily, found that he had made a fortune again!

"Commander, do you want to set up a banquet to entertain these gift-givers?"

"Nope! No! At this time, isn't opening a banquet tantamount to telling the 'military commander' that I have accepted the gifts of these people? We just really want to put it, but I'm afraid no one will dare to come! Now that the Japanese are getting closer, time is pressing! Chief of Staff Fan, let's leave for Jiujiang in the morning! My headquarters is in... That's right! It's right here! Tianjiazhen Fortress! ”

As soon as Fan Jie's question was raised, Huang Haoran "ruthlessly" rejected, and finally borrowed the light of the Japanese to escape last night's "catastrophe", where is there any reason to rush to find trouble for yourself! Anyway, now that the letter of appointment of the Military Commission has been issued and the responsibilities have been clarified, it is better to leave the whirlpool of Wuhan as soon as possible!

Hearing Huang Haoran say that he was leaving Wuhan, Fan Jie and Xu Zilong's emotions immediately became happy! In the eyes of Fan Jie and Xu Zilong, Wuhan is not their own ground after all, where is there any freedom to stay in the 25th Group Army! So after Huang Haoran spoke, Fan Jie never mentioned the matter of Wuhan again, but immediately ordered the guard troops to pack up.

"Sister-in-law and that Miss Fang, did you ask them to send them back to Chongqing?"

Xu Xinghua was still more careful in the end, although he learned the news of Huang Haoran's decision to leave for the Tianjiazhen fortress through the busy guards in the courtyard, but he immediately remembered Huang Haoran's women in Wuhan.

"Miss Fang's injury is not healed, let's continue to stay here, the medical technology in East Lake is still very good... As for Miss Yu's side, you go and ask her what she means, if you plan to leave, send someone to escort her, if you want to stay in Wuhan, send someone to protect it secretly, at least in the last two months, Wuhan is still safe......"

Separated from Yu Lianjun this time, Huang Haoran's actions are more like escaping! After the shooting, Huang Haoran tried several times to confess to Yu Lianjun that he was forced to marry by "Mrs.", but every time the words came to his lips and swallowed again!

Maybe it's not the right time? This is the only excuse Huang Haoran can use to comfort himself!

Because of the guilt in his heart for Lianjun, Huang Haoran left Yu Lianjun enough autonomy on the issue of when Lianjun left Wuhan and returned to Chongqing, which was a kind of "compensation" he gave Yu Lianjun.

*************************************************

At noon on August 15, a group of uninvited guests came to the outer position of Madang Fortress, located in Pengze County and 80 miles away from Jiujiang. In order to disguise his identity, this time Huang Haoran repeated his old tricks and changed his outfit as a non-commissioned officer of the Central Army.

This section of the river within the fire range of the Madao Fortress is very narrow, and the quicksand in the river forms a sandbar after many years of alluvium, dividing the river into two. The northern waterway of Shazhou has long been silted up, and the southern waterway flows under the cannon muzzle of the Mabao Fortress, becoming the only channel through which the Yangtze River flows here. The narrowest part of the river is less than a mile, and the current is fast, so boats must be careful when passing through here.

After the fall of Nanjing, the Military Commission set up the Yangtze River Blockage Committee, which was responsible for the blockage projects at various key points on the river. In the past few months, nearly 1,000 migrant workers have rested during the day and worked at night to avoid the bombing of Japanese planes. When twilight falls, the river is brightly lit, reflecting the surrounding area for more than 10 miles, and all kinds of boats are collected to go up and down, bringing all kinds of blocking materials from all over the world.

After two major projects, the upper, middle and lower layers of the blocking line were completed, and the river was completely closed, leaving only a gap on the south bank for one boat. The top layer is made of several large iron barges of the Sanbei Steamship Company, which are filled with rocks mixed with cement to solidify, and then, chiseled through and sank above the middle layer, and the large iron anchors and boulders solidified with cement on the surface of the ship are hidden under the water two meters below, forming an artificial reef, and the blocking line is floating or sinking left and right, and is covered with all kinds of mines.

Of course, these are all information that stays on the paper of the Wuhan Military Commission, and Huang Haoran deliberately made a private interview to see something that he couldn't see while sitting in the office.

The fortress was built according to the drawings provided by German consultants, and according to the Ministry of Military Affairs, it was a Class A combat fortification, impregnable! But drawings are drawings after all, and it's not the same thing that they are actual situations!

There are many factors that affect the effectiveness of combat readiness fortifications, and in addition to the drawings, how the officers and men carry out construction, whether they actually build positions according to the drawings, and how they camouflage are all related to the combat capability of the fortress!

For these, Huang Haoran is deeply touched! Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, when Huang Haoran and his 99th Division were building fortifications in Changshu, in order to determine how to complete the construction of the fire network and obstacle facilities, Huang Haoran often took the engineer commander and German advisers into the bunker and other firepower points to personally check whether the firing range of machine guns and artillery was open, and whether there would be any dead ends left in the shooting.

It was precisely because of such diligence during construction that Huang Haoran's troops reaped rich dividends in the later defensive battles of the national defense line!

After several battles, the Wuhan government also realized the importance of building fortifications and strengthening the troops' ability to build positions.

In order to ensure that all combat units could have everything to follow, the German advisory group sought the approval of the Military Committee and successively guided the construction of two model positions in Hengdian in Hankou and Gedian in Wuchang. Then, organize officers at and above the regimental level of each unit to take turns to observe and imitate.

It is said that the outer fortifications of the fortress were built according to the model position......

When Huang Haoran and his entourage were looking around the position, Bao Changyi, captain of the Second Corps under the command department of the Yangtze River Defense Fortress, was standing on the Changshan position, feeling depressed.

Bao Changyi's troops were originally part of the 3rd Fleet of the Navy, stationed in Qingdao, and in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the ships were sunk in the bay of Qingdao to block the passage, and the personnel and weapons entered the Yangtze River valley to form the garrison of the Jiangfang fortress, becoming a real marine. In the evening, Bao Changyi learned bad news from Wang Xitao, the commander of the Madao Fortress, that Anqing had been attacked by the Japanese army!

Once Anqing falls, it means that the curtain of the Battle of Wuhan will be officially opened, and the Japanese army and navy will use the Anqing airport and port as a troop staging place. There is no doubt that the next step of the Japanese army will be to go straight down the river to Mafang, and the Changshan position that Captain Bao is in charge of will bear the brunt, and Bao Changyi is still sure of the defense of the Madao Fortress against the river, and the officers and men of the navy under his command are familiar with firing at the moving ships on the surface, and in addition to the fact that so many mines and blocked ships have been laid on the narrow river, it is difficult for the Japanese ships to maneuver and they will only become targets for the artillery of the fortress.

But for the garrison near the fortress, Bao Changyi has no confidence! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
