West bank of the river.

On the position of the 6th column, Commander Chu Tianming was carefully looking at the position of the little devils in the distance, and the sharp sounds in the sky and the explosions kept coming.

Although it was thousands of meters away from the little devil's position and separated by a river hundreds of meters wide, Chu Tianming still felt an explosion, which was deafening.

Now, the shelling has been going on for almost twenty minutes, and the casualties of the little devils are definitely not small, which can be roughly judged by looking at the situation on the positions of the little devils.

"Commander! Is it too much of a waste of shells for us to shell so violently, in my opinion, we only need half an hour of shelling to send most of the little devils to the western sky. ”

Next to him, the chief of staff of the 6th column, with a reluctant face, may be heartache for these shells!

The chief of staff of the 6th Column, who was still a regimental chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army two or three years ago, was accustomed to living a hard life, and was only transferred from the Eighth Route Army to Zhang Yunfei's unit more than two years ago.

Hearing this, Chu Tianmin smiled slightly and said: "My chief of staff, don't be heartbroken for our shells, now we have enough ammunition, besides, even if our shells run out, we will be replenished quickly." ”

Now, Jingpu Road is repairing quickly, if it is fast, as long as three or five days, it can be completed to open to traffic, the train can go straight from Beiping to Jining, and a large number of supplies in the rear will also be continuous, very convenient to transport over.

As for the railway from Datong to Beiping, Taiyuan to Shijiazhuang. Now it has long been opened to traffic, and is playing an important role, a large number of materials, through the railway, is being transported to North China, these materials, including a large number of artillery shells. Shells like 105 mm and 155 mm howitzers.

Seeing Chu Tianming say this, the chief of staff of the 6th column also smiled, and no longer felt sorry for these shells. Now, it's the 36th Army, not the Eighth Route Army.

smiled. The chief of staff of the 6th Column also completely let go of his mentality, no longer felt sorry for these shells, picked up his binoculars, happily looked at the shelling situation on the little devil's position, and did not forget to shout "good" when he saw the highlights.

Chu Tianming and several high-ranking members of the 6th Column, including the chief of staff, were all in high spirits together, and once again acted as spectators, holding binoculars. Watching the little devil being blown up.

While everyone was enjoying it, a guard ran over quickly, stood upright, saluted a solemn military salute, and reported loudly: "Chief! The ships prepared by the Lunan guerrillas have already arrived. ”

"Oh! So fast! "Hear the words. Chu Tianming felt a little strange, it was only more than an hour before Captain Hong left, and there was still half an hour before four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chu Tianming's gaze looked at the river in the distance, in the direction leading to Weishan Lake, although it was far away from here. However, through the telescope, Chu Tianming still saw that there were at least a hundred small wooden boats on the river.

Although each small wooden boat is not big, it may be a local fishing boat, but each boat can carry a dozen fighters, and a larger fishing boat can seat twenty or thirty fighters, which is no problem at all, and these fishing boats are huge, at least hundreds, and they look like a large area.

On each of these fishing boats, there were three or five people rowing over to this side, and these people should be comrades of the guerrillas.

That's right, this is exactly the hundreds of comrades of the Lunan guerrillas, rowing more than 100 small fishing boats, are coming here, if it were not for the short time, the fighters of the Lunan guerrilla detachment might have collected more fishing boats, but with these more than 100 fishing boats, it is basically enough, and one round trip can transport an infantry regiment to the opposite bank. …,

Captain Hong of the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment, at this time, was standing at the bow of a fishing boat, looking into the distance with excitement and admiration at the position of the 6th Column.

Such a spectacular shelling scene has only been seen in Captain Hong's life.

Captain Hong is a veteran soldier and an old Eighth Road, he has been in the army for nearly ten years, and he has participated in more than a dozen large and small battles, but such an artillery scene like this, such a large-scale artillery scene, is absolutely unheard of.

Behind Captain Hong, several comrades from the guerrillas, everyone was also excited, and there was a little fear in the excitement, and there was a natural fear of the heavy artillery group, although these cannons belonged to the 36th Group Army, and now, these cannons are hitting little devils.

However, there is still a little bit of fear in everyone's hearts, and as guerrillas, they still have a little understanding of the power of these cannons.

"Captain! You see!! ”

A partisan, shouting loudly, pointed to the distance, to the position of the little devils in the distance.

Just now, a 155mm howitzer shell accurately hit a little devil's bunker, this civil structure bunker, although it was covered with a thick layer of soil, only two or three shooting holes were exposed on the side, but in this seemingly solid bunker, it was blown up by this shell.

There was a violent explosion, this dark fort was directly blown away, a few thick logs, flying around with the air waves, flying out dozens of meters away, after the explosion, leaving a big pit, the little devils in the dark castle, may all go to see their Amaterasu.

When Captain Hong saw this scene, he sighed with emotion in his heart, and admired the 36th Group Army so much that he threw himself to the ground.

Think about the past, my own guerrillas and the little devils fought many times, every time they encountered the little devils' hidden forts, or pillboxes and strongholds, all such strong fortifications, the soldiers were killed and wounded.

The Lunan guerrillas basically had no good way to deal with such fortifications, and the guerrillas were mainly small arms, a few rifles and pistols, plus a few grenades, and they were basically powerless against such fortifications.

The only way was to take cover with a large number of fighters, a few fighters with bundles of grenades, or bags of explosives, and after paying a lot of casualties, they could pull out such a strong fortification with great difficulty.

Therefore, whenever they encounter these fortifications of the little devils, the guerrillas carry forward the policy of fighting if they can win the battle and withdrawing if they cannot win, and do not fight hard with the little devils until they have to do so.

However, just now, in front of the artillery of the 36th Group Army, the dark fortress of the little devils was like paper paste, and as soon as the shells went down, they became ruins.

The comrades of the Lunan guerrillas, rowing more than 100 fishing boats, slowly approached the position of the 6th Column, which was less than 5 or 600 meters away from the position of the 6th Column, and was almost this distance away from the forward position of the little devils.

Further on, we entered the middle of the positions of the two sides, and this river crossed right in the middle of the positions of the Chinese and Japanese sides, and both sides were built positions across the river.

On the surface of the river, especially on the side close to the position of the little devils, occasionally one or two shells would fall, causing a splash in the sky, and seeing this, the guerrillas slowly slowed down.

A team member standing behind Captain Hong saw this situation and immediately asked, "Captain, should we continue to move forward, or should we stay put?" ”

Captain Hong looked at his watch and found that there were still about twenty minutes before four o'clock in the afternoon, so Captain Hong immediately said: "Tell everyone, stay put, and as soon as the shelling stops, immediately move closer to the side of the position of the 36th Group Army, and everyone will help transport the soldiers of the 36th Group Army across the river." ”

After receiving the order, the hundreds of members of the Lunan guerrilla detachment stopped one after another and acted as spectators from a distance, watching this rare shelling situation while waiting for the shelling to stop. …,

Many team members thought in their hearts, this time it was really lucky to see such a spectacular scene, and after completing the task, they could boast about it with those comrades who did not come to carry out the task.

Thinking of this, many comrades of the guerrillas were full of pride and joy on their faces.

Everyone stood on the bow of the ship, stretched their necks, and watched the shelling of the 36th Army with relish. Seeing the wonderful, these guerrillas also applauded loudly.

The shelling continued without the slightest sign of stopping, and the guerrillas were too far away to feast their eyes.

While watching the shelling, Captain Hong looked at his pocket watch from time to time, and saw that more than ten minutes had passed, and the shelling of the 36th Group Army was still so fierce, and he couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart.

At this time, Captain Hong admired the 36th Group Army beyond measure, and thought to himself, if he was a member of the 36th Group Army, how good it would be.

After a long time, the world suddenly fell silent.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the heavy artillery group of the 6th column stopped shelling at the same time, and the fierce shelling came to an abrupt end.

The sudden silence made the comrades of the Lunan guerrilla detachment a little uncomfortable, and at least a few dozen seconds later, everyone came back to their senses and knew that the shelling of the 36th Group Army was over.

Suddenly, these guerrillas burst into bursts of cheers, as if they had won a great victory, and Captain Hong of the guerrillas also grinned when he saw that his fighters were so happy.

After laughing, Captain Hong remembered that he hadn't done his business yet, so he immediately shouted in person: "Comrades! Quickly dock and help transport the soldiers of the 36th Army across the river. ”

Hearing this, all the guerrillas went into action, and they all rowed skillfully and landed on the side of the position of the 6th Column, so that the fighters could board the boats.

In just a few minutes, more than 100 large and small fishing boats lined up on the shore and stretched for thousands of meters, waiting for the soldiers of the 6th Column to board the boats.

Most of the hundreds of fighters of the Lunan guerrilla detachment were fighters active in the Weishan Lake area, and many of them were fishermen.

The 6th Column was about to begin boarding and crossing the river.
