The rebirth of the Republic of China

Lu Yihua didn't talk much about the Communist Party. After listening to Liu Sheng's report, he picked up some unimportant points and asked a few random questions. Then he focused all his energy on the Wuhan battle, which had reached a critical moment. superior.

This battle is a rare battle since the Huaxia War of Resistance. During the war, the Huaxia military centered on the Fifth Theater and the Ninth Theater with Wuhan, Hubei as the core. Organize resistance in Henan and other places.

After the fall of Xuzhou in May, the enemy quickly occupied Anqing.Subsequently, the Battle of Wuhan kicked off, and Guangji fell on September [-] of the same year.

Today is September 27th, and in eight hours, the Third Corps under the command of Commander-in-Chief Sun will be retreating from the mall.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Lu Yihua personally led several staff officers under him to conduct a second inspection of the fortifications built on the ground.

At this time, the fortifications have been built, and the entire position is undergoing final perfection.

Looking around, there are two deep and wide trenches across the position, and a winding trench is displayed at the forefront of the front line. At the same time, the fortifications on the entire position are surrounded by the other two trenches responsible for traffic. The back is covered with densely packed foxholes, which looks very spectacular.

Due to the defense of Jinling, Lu Yihua was once dismissed and stayed on. If it weren't for his impressive achievements in the past, the absolutely important title of Honorary First Division Commander would not have fallen to him who was just hired.

New and old grudges counted, this time, Lu Yihua put all his energy into preparing for a big fight in Shawo.He made up his mind to block the enemy's left army here for at least a month.

If he hadn't been injured now, he would have personally brought the guard battalion down to the camp.

Observing the completed fortifications, the chief of staff of the military department showed a smile on Junci's face: "They did a good job. Although the 36th Division was disabled in Fujin Mountain, it is not easy for the enemy to break through our position. .”

After listening to his words, Lu Yihua nodded while watching, and asked at the same time: "I've been walking all the way, why haven't I seen Chen Rongguang?"

"Mr. Chen is probably going down to work." The commander of the 87th Division who accompanied Lu Yihua to inspect said with a smile, "When the 36th Division was beaten to only 800 people in Fujin Mountain, Mr. Chen has been feeling very uncomfortable. Want to take revenge, go down to see the position in person every morning, he should be at the 88th Division now."

Anyone who has been with Lu Yihua for a while knows that the current teacher of the 88th Division, Zhong Bin, is Lu Yihua's classmate and also from the first phase of Whampoa. When Lu Yihua formed the 36th Division, Zhong Bin was the deputy teacher.

It can be said that the 36th division was built by Zhong Bin and Lu Yihua together.

Later, when Lu Yihua served as the commander of the 78th Army during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, and also served as the 36th Division, Zhong Bin helped him share the heavy responsibilities.

Later, Jinling fell, and because the then garrison commander Tang Zhisheng was not good at defending the city, Lu Yihua was implicated and dismissed.However, fortunately, his principal still remembered him. Not long after, with the establishment of the first honorary division, Lu Yihua was appointed again.

In July last year, due to the outbreak of a large-scale war, the Kuomintang army was reorganized. The original German 87th Division was expanded into the No.70 First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which was subordinate to the Ninth Army. teacher teacher.

When the Battle of Eastern Henan broke out, the 71st Army was assigned to the First Theater. In May 27, Wang Jingjiu was dismissed from his post, and the commander of the 71st Army was replaced by Lu Yihua, the honorary commander of the First Division who was on vacation in Miancheng, Sichuan.

After the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Lu Yihua became more and more powerful. The chairman of the committee wanted to win over his student, and personally ordered the expansion of the 71st Army. , No.60 Second Army No.70 Eighth Division was placed under the command of the expanded 30st Army, and Lu Yihua was free to choose his subordinates.

Therefore, Zhong Bin, who has been following him, was sent by Lu Yihua to the 88th Division as the division commander, while Chen Rongguang was directly left in the 36th Division.During the Battle of Fujin Mountain, the result of the annihilation of the 36th Division made Chen Rongguang feel depressed. Although he didn't dare to complain to Lu Yihua, he still needed to find someone to chat with. At this time, Zhong Bin, an old acquaintance in the 36th Division, played a role. out.

"This Chen Rongguang!" Knowing the truth, Lu Yihua was amused, stopped and said to a guard following Shen Hou, "Go to the 88th Division, tell Master Zhong and Master Chen that I have something to do with them, and let them hurry up." come here."

When Chen Rongguang and Zhong Bin rushed to the forward position, Lu Yihua was accompanied by a group of staff officers in his military headquarters, and the officers with glittering gold stars pinned to their collars expressed their opinions on the position with great interest, and they still did not forget Take the engineer shovel to demonstrate a few times.

Seeing them coming, the staff officers who were working hard handed back the engineering shovels to the soldiers standing beside them.

Xiang Junci wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "The 88th Division is very popular, and Rong Guang is so attached to it that he doesn't want to come out for a few days."

Chen Rongguang looked awkwardly at Lu Yihua who came over, and saluted with Zhong Bin: "Military seat."

Lu Yihua nodded, observed Chen Rongguang for a while, and said with a smile, "How is it? How do you feel about Zhong Bin?"

"King Renyan of Dongjiuer Palace is too deceitful. This time, he will let the left army come and go."

"Heh, you're quite ambitious!" Lu Yihua looked over in surprise, and doubted, "I didn't expect you, Chen Rongguang, to take advantage of everything and never give up. You would say such a thing?"

Chen Rongguang refused to accept it, and puffed out his chest and said: "The military seat sees that people can't stay on the past impressions!"

Lu Yihua and all the staff behind him laughed, and asked Jun Ci: "Then, tell me, Master Chen, how should we fight this battle?"

Chen Rongguang glanced at the fortifications on the surrounding positions, and then said: "Use the fortifications we built in advance, and use our own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses!"

Lu Yihua was very satisfied with the results of the day's inspection. After returning to the headquarters, the bandages on Lu Yihua's body had to be changed again due to the hot weather. Liu Sheng's hand that wanted to unscrew the medicine bottle.

Lu Yihua hurriedly tied the bandage back, put on a shirt and opened the door, but the following news ruined his originally good mood.News came from the mall that an hour and a half ago, the enemy had suddenly increased its troops, and the third corps in charge of stopping the enemy was gradually struggling. The war zone telegraphed Commander-in-Chief Sun to lead his troops out of the mall, and the mall was destroyed in advance.

"The whole army is on alert, always pay attention to the news from the front!" Lu Yihua casually touched the wound, and hurried to the war room.

Fortunately, the fortifications of the Dabie Mountains have been built, otherwise, the sudden news from the front line does not know what impact it will have on this battle.

The sky darkened quickly, and Lu Yihua moved his body calmly as he listened to the various plans that kept pouring into his ears.Although the wound on Lu Yihua's chest was not that serious because it didn't hurt vitals, it still hurt his vitality. Usually, he didn't feel it, but once he was nervous, he became very tired, and his chest hurt a lot.

As a front-line commander, the pressure on Lu Yihua is not insignificant, and he has always been worried.Although he was reborn once and understood that in this war of aggression, his Huaxia camp won the final victory, but that was already a previous life after all.

Since the Battle of Xuzhou, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War has undergone many subtle changes under the premise of following the general direction of history, and the Battle of Wuhan he commanded has also changed beyond recognition.Lu Yihua was actually a little scared. Rebirth after death was a bizarre thing, and he didn't want war to pay the price for it.

It's just that his consciousness has not reached the level after all, Lu Yihua smiled self-deprecatingly, he was able to fight for the war of resistance without hesitation, but he was unwilling to die like this.

Wiping his face a little irritably, Lu Yihua cheered up and began to formulate a battle plan with everyone.

The waiting before the war seemed to be tormented, and the time passed slowly.

At five o'clock in the morning of the second day, the dark enemy fighter planes first arrived above the defense line of the northern area of ​​the Dabie Mountains. Dozens of fighter planes hovered over the position like ferocious birds, sometimes swooping down rapidly, and the bombs fell on the position in clusters. The machine guns sprayed flames, and the 71st Army's position was instantly blown up into fireworks.

Chen Rongguang, who was supervising the battle on the front line, hid in the air-raid trench. After the first round of enemy bombing, he carefully squinted his eyes and looked out. He saw that the position they had built with great effort was blocked by the enemy's powerful bombing. Break, if the trenches are not deep enough and wide enough, this position may not be usable.

"Coax—" Another burst of bombing followed, the smoke covered the sky and the sun, and the rumbling sound spread all over the field.

At the same time, the enemy's artillery also began to fire in the direction of the 71st Army, and a sea of ​​flames rose from the position.

The huge roar came from the forward position to the ears of Lu Yihua in the temporary headquarters, and the operation room fell silent for a moment, and then the staff officers who had been honed by the war quickly reacted, and a young staff officer closest to the door immediately opened the wooden door, Shouted into the yard: "Enemy plane strikes, find a cover to hide! Enemy plane strikes, everyone pay attention, find a cover to hide!"

Xiang Junci watched the staff officer react, then looked back at Lu Yihua, and said, "What should I do?"

"Wait for Rongguang's call." Lu Yihua patted his temples, "I hope the front line won't suffer so much."

Xiang Junci was silent. Ever since Lu Yihua woke up, he had invested a lot of experience in the forward position. He just wanted to curb the enemy's first wave of attack through this. As long as he can do this, it will be easier to resist in the future. .

There is an old saying in China that goes well: one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion.
