Chapter 5 The devil is here

Nanjing, commander-in-chief.

After receiving the report from He Ajiu, Chairman Chiang immediately ordered an emergency military meeting!

There were stars gathered in the huge conference room, and almost all senior generals who had gained the position on the party and the country were there.

Chen Cheng, who was sitting in the second place at the left, looked at Bai Chongxi opposite, and stood up and said, "Mr. Mr. Bei insisted that the Japanese army would land in Baimakou in Jiangzuo. The activities of Japanese spies in Jinshanwei were just smokescreens. We must not be fooled by the Japanese!"

Bai Chongxi nodded and continued: "The terrain of Jinshanwei's mudflat is not suitable for large-scale landings, not to mention the world-famous Qianjiang tide. If the Japanese don't want to feed fish and shrimp, they can go to Jinshanwei to land. However, the terrain of Baishankou is very suitable for landings, so I fully agree with Brother Cixiu's judgment!"

After a moment of pause, Bai Chongxi said again: "But what I want to say is that where the Japanese army's subsequent reinforcements landed is no longer important to us, because whether the Japanese army landed in Jinshanwei or at Baimakou, there is only one way left before us, that is, withdrawing troops!"

"Yes, the Battle of Songhu cannot continue to fight!"

"The casualties are too great, and if you continue to hit it, it will be damaged!"

"It should still be led to the Japanese army to the decisive battle in accordance with the original plan!"

After Bai Chongxi finished speaking, many senior generals spoke out and expressed their support.

Chairman Jiang, who was sitting in the main seat, was obviously unprepared for this and was a little confused for a moment.

But Chairman Jiang has never been a willingness to make concessions easily. After reacting, he knocked on the table hard. After suppressing the discussions of the crowd, he said: "Don't go off topic. Now we are discussing where the Japanese reinforcements will land, rather than the issue of withdrawing troops from the Songhu battlefield. Let's figure it out."

The senior generals attending the meeting immediately fell silent.

Chairman Jiang frowned and concluded: "Since you all agree that the Japanese army will land in Baimakou, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of Baimakou. As for the Jinshan Guard, we cannot take it lightly. We ordered the 63rd Division to speed up and arrive as soon as possible and replace the Jinshan Guard's coastal defense!"

...

Jinshanwei, Haiyue'an position.

The sky gradually darkened.

The time for the Japanese to land on a large scale is closer!

In the seawall, Wang Zilong's troops are nervously building fortifications! The positions of the artillery company must also be rebuilt!

If Wang Zilong's original intention is to build the fortifications outside the seawall, and even if it is not good, it must be built on the seawall, because it is the commanding heights and has a good shooting range. And he did this before, but because he was continuously bombarded by Japanese planes, he has never been able to build it!

But now, all the fortifications are built in the seawall. Not only that, the fortifications are more than a thousand meters away from the seawall!

Wang Zilong didn't know at first, but as soon as Zhong Yi said that, he immediately realized the great benefits of doing so!

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can effectively avoid the threat of the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese Navy. Because of the obstruction of raised seawalls and the Japanese warships do not dare to get too close to the coast, it will be affected by the curvature of the earth, so it is difficult for the Japanese Navy's naval guns to hit their positions!

Another thing is that the defensive position is thousands of meters away from the seawall, which is already beyond the range of the machine gun. The Japanese who are snatching the beach do not want to build firepower on the seawall, and provide firepower support to the Japanese who are attacking across the seawall from a high point!

Then, build the fortifications one thousand meters away to avoid large areas of silt fields!

Because of the large silt field near the seawall, people sank on it and it is impossible to build fortifications!

Outside the seawall, the tide began to rise, and the people and the people moved backward and began to bury cut bamboo nails in the mud of the tidal flats near the seawall.

Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Central Army or the strong people, they all remained silent.

The tension before the war permeated the entire coastal defense position!

Time passed quietly in the intense preparations, and soon arrived at the early morning of November 5th!

The Japanese army was about to seize the beach, so Zhong Yi asked all Minzhuang to evacuate the beach, and at the same time ordered Wang Zilong's troops to enter the built fortifications.

More than an hour later, all Minzhuang withdrew and the noisy beach gradually became quiet.

However, Zhong Yi climbed the seawall surrounded by Liang Feng, Wang Zilong and several guards of the battalion headquarters.

At this time, the sea water had completely flooded the mudflats and rose to the seawall. The waves hit the seawall, making a rustling sound, and the air was filled with a faint smell of mud.

Wang Zilong raised his wrist and looked at the watch. The hour hand pointed at exactly two o'clock!

"Here you come!" Zhong Yi suddenly pointed in front of him and said in a deep voice, "The Japanese's little steamer!"

Wang Zilong, Liang Feng and others suddenly turned around and looked at the sea, but only saw a piece of darkness.

"Listen!" Zhong Yi pointed to his ear and said in a deep voice, "There is the roar of a motor!"

Wang Zilong and others listened in a slight voice, and sure enough, they heard a roar of motors.

"Damn it, the Japanese are really here!" Wang Zilong subconsciously clenched the Mauser pistol in his hand.

At this time, Zhong Yi was actually very nervous because he could not determine whether the Japanese in this time and space would still wait for four hours at sea like in history, and wait until dawn!

Fortunately, the situation that Zhong Yi was most worried about did not happen!

The sea gradually calmed down, and Zhong Yi's heart fell to the ground.

Then, Zhong Yi turned around and said, "I'll take a break and wake me up at five o'clock!"

After saying that, Zhong Yi collapsed on the straw pile in his coat, and soon he made a slight snoring sound.

Seeing that Zhong Yi was still able to fall asleep at this time, and when he fell asleep so quickly, not only Liang Feng, but even Wang Zilong and several guards were dumbfounded.

Wang Zilong also lay down with Yi, wanting to sleep for a while, but he can't sleep at all.

First, the sea breeze was too cold, and second, it was because it was too nervous. When Wang Zilong thought that more than two divisions of Japanese troops were gathering on the sea surface of Jinshanwei, he was so nervous that he was almost suffocating!

In the next few hours, Wang Zilong didn’t know how he ended it!

The clock was just pointing at five o'clock, and Wang Zilong quickly asked someone to wake Zhong Yi up!

At this time, a trace of white fish belly was slightly revealed on the eastern sea surface.

"Is it already five o'clock?" Zhong Yi turned over and sat up, stretching his waist long.

"You're sleeping well." Wang Zilong said angrily, "We've had a sea breeze in the middle of the night!"

"There is fire? Don't come to me." Zhong Yi waved his hand, then pointed his finger in front and said, "Go to the Japanese!"

Wang Zilong, Liang Feng and others turned their heads and looked in the direction of Zhong Yi's fingers, and then took a breath of air conditioning together.

But I saw that several faint black dots had appeared in the mist! Immediately afterwards, more small black dots emerged from the mist one after another.

As the distance approaches, the outlines of these black dots gradually become clear!

What if it’s not a little steamer? Wang Zilong even saw the Japanese standing on it!

Zhong Yi immediately took Wang Zilong, Liang Feng and others to evacuate the seawall and turn to the front-line observation post on the flank.
Chapter completed!
