Base System of Bashu Heroes

Chapter 45: Forcibly crossing the Huai River I

After reading the briefing, Tang Shizun of Lianyungang was deeply moved by Liu Tianchu's national justice, and took the initiative to mobilize four brigades of the 146th Division to jointly defend Xuzhou with Chen Jiaqi. Sun Zhen's and Li Jiayu's troops of the Sichuan Army who were preparing to retreat from Zhengzhou and Xuzhou also took the initiative to discuss with the Military Commission

Please leave to cover the flanks of Liu Tianchu's 23rd Group Army. At this point, the seventh theater with the Sichuan Army as the main force and Zhengzhou as the center is fully launched.

Since the establishment of the Seventh War Zone, Liu Xiang has not been to Zhengzhou. Liu Tianchu knew that his qualifications were still relatively low, and he might not be able to convince the public, and he might not be able to command effectively in critical moments, so he urgently asked his uncle Liu Xiang to come to Zhengzhou to recuperate and take command.

After Liu Tianchu met Liu Ling's troops near Huainan, he divided his troops into three groups and marched towards Lanfeng. Liu Ling was on the left and Jiang Hui'an was on the right. He led an independent brigade in the middle. The Japanese Guoqi detachment was following closely and Liu Tianchu decided to teach the Guoqi detachment a lesson.

, the first battle of the withdrawal from Nanjing and the expedition to Qilu began.

After the Sichuan Army withdrew from Nanjing, the good days of the Central Army on the front line in Jiangbei also came to an end. As the 16th Division of the Japanese Army attacked Nanjing and crossed north, the Central Army in Jiangbei also gradually withdrew westward. At Huainan Railway Station, a large number of military supplies that could not be transported away in time were

The supplies were burned. Liu Tianchu, who was passing through the city from Huainan, looked at the Huainan Station with flames blazing into the sky and couldn't help but cursed: "Bald Chiang, you'd rather burn the supplies than give them to the Sichuan Army."

Liu Tianchu's words touched the nerves of Heizi, who was still recovering from his injuries. He stood on a high place and shouted sadly in the direction of Nanjing: "Have you seen the brothers of the Sichuan Army who sacrificed their lives in Nanjing? The Sichuan Army was raised by the stepmother!"

After he shouted, he saw Liu Tianchu, Tianbang and others looking at him in disbelief, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "It's okay! It's okay!"

The Sichuan Army defending Nanjing suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. Heizi shouted out the voices of most of the Sichuan soldiers. The bitterness and bitterness came to his heart. The marching column was a little dull for a while. Liu Tianchu rolled his eyes at Heizi several times. Heizi walked with his head down.

Pretend not to see it.

Liu Tianchu didn't want the atmosphere to continue to be dull, which would damage morale, so he trotted to the front of the team and said loudly: "Do you want to hear an interesting story? Is it about Heizi's father?"

Heizi raised his head blankly and looked at Liu Tianchu in confusion. Liu Tianchu, who was jumping around like a monkey, had a bad smile on his face. It was an interesting story, and it was about Heizi's father. The soldiers became interested and urged: "

Yes! Commander, can you tell me what the story is?"

Liu Tianchu pretended to be serious and spoke seriously: "When Heizi was still young, one day his father had a stomachache and went to the hospital to see a doctor. After the doctor examined his father, he told him to do a blood test, a urine test, and a feces test.

, and showed me the results after the test. After a while, Heizi's father came back with a piece of shit and said to the doctor: Doctor! I swallowed blood and urine. I really can't swallow this shit. Please spare me.

, the doctor looked at Heizi’s father in surprise, dumbfounded.”

Some of the soldiers didn't react. Some of the educated warriors had already laughed out loud. Ronghua next to Liu Tianchu was laughing so hard that he finally squatted on the ground and couldn't straighten up. Heizi also laughed with the soldiers and laughed for a while.

After regaining his senses, he chased Liu Tianchu and beat him: "Son, how could my father be destined to go to the hospital? He has never been to the hospital in his life!"

Chu Tianbang gloated to Heizi and shouted: "If it's not your father, it must be you!"

Heizi ignored him and just chased Liu Tianchu. Liu Tianchu, who was being chased and had no way to escape, lightly poked his broken arm. Heizi immediately screamed in pain. "You...you...your uncle!"

"You are so great!" The two of them were playing around when an inaccurate Japanese artillery shell exploded in the distance. Liu Tianchu stopped joking: "The 92nd Infantry Artillery, the artillery is five kilometers away, and the vanguard is up to two kilometers away. God, come with me."

A bite?”

Tianbang did not hesitate to do this kind of thing. He picked up the universal machine gun and turned around to leave. Liu Tianchu hurriedly led the guard battalion to follow...

Liu Tianchu ambush the guard camp in the forest, and laid more than a dozen German-style landmines on the road. Liu Tianchu cunningly ambushed most of the people in the trees, using dry food bags or backpacks as shooting support. The Sichuan army carried the wounded soldiers across.

Afterwards, the road outside the forest and the woods became completely silent.

Liu Tianchu and Ronghua were not in the tree. He and a group of people lay down in the forest, pretending to be dead among the trucks and artillery wreckage abandoned by the Central Army.

It can be said that there is no need to climb trees, which can be said to be a good job. Everyone is exhausted from the long march and falls down beside the car wreckage. The brave ones can even take a nap.

Liu Tianchu was lying on his back. He had just taken a nap when the stick on the tree made a gesture to him. Liu Tianchu immediately turned around and lay down. Then he heard the rustling of branches and the leading Japanese search troops finally appeared.

The cunning Japanese army only paid attention to the paths in the forest and the surrounding areas as far as the eye could see, but was unprepared for the treetops and corpses around them. The Sichuan army, which was ambushing in the treetops and car wrecks, began to shoot at the Japanese army, using rifles, machine guns, and grenades.

, the unsuspecting Japanese troops were swept away in large numbers. Liu Tianchu very insidiously only used an assault rifle to attack the rear of the team, blocking the Japanese troops' retreat.

It went extremely smoothly. The inaction of the Central Army, which was also retreating with the Sichuan Army, became the best cover for the Sichuan Army. After the two Japanese squadrons were completely wiped out, the Japanese search team learned not to appear in the sight of the Sichuan Army.

Liu Tianchu led the troops on the road again. The Sichuan army marched on foot to the anti-Japanese front line, climbing over mountains and ridges all the way. People along the way heard that they were Sichuan troops who had withdrawn from the Nanjing Defense War, and welcomed them warmly. They all took out their own food as much as they could to replenish supplies for the Sichuan army.

The Sichuan Army wanted to rush to Lanfeng, but they did not dare to take the main road. They marched in the mountains and forests at night. Since there was no combat map, it was easy to lose their way. When the local people heard that the Sichuan Army troops were coming, they took the initiative to lead the way at night.

When the troops were wading into the Luan River late at night, there were a large number of wounded. The water was knee-deep and the cold was biting. The Sichuan soldiers in single uniforms couldn't stand it, so fellow villagers took the initiative to carry the wounded across the river on their backs, and the troops were able to advance smoothly.

The officers and soldiers of Sichuan were deeply moved by the people's love and support for the Sichuan Army, and they vowed to serve the country and defend the territory.

Marching day and night, when the troops marched to Mengcheng, Jiang Hui'an of the vanguard force received news that the banks of the Huaihe River in Mengcheng had been occupied by two infantry regiments of the 103rd Brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, a mountain artillery regiment, and a cavalry regiment.

The 1st, 3rd and 3rd Divisions were unable to pass through several strong attacks.

Liu Tianchu ordered Liu Ling to station his troops around Mengcheng and personally went to the bank of the Huaihe River to observe. The Japanese army had built permanent fortifications on the other side of the river and was already ready.

If there is no artillery cover for the forced crossing, the troops will definitely suffer heavy losses and may not succeed. He knew that the 133rd Division had established an artillery regiment. Liu Tianchu turned around and asked Jiang Hui'an: "How many artillery pieces does your artillery regiment have?"

Jiang Hui'an replied: "There are eight rocket launchers, five 92 infantry guns and 75 mountain guns. The remaining heavy guns were inconvenient to transport during the retreat from Wulong Mountain and have been blown up."

"A lot of artillery?" Liu Tianchu was a little puzzled. "Can't get through three strong attacks? Are your artillery just decorations?"

Jiang Hui'an replied hesitantly: "Because the attack was at night, there was no wasted artillery shells!"

He was also afraid of wasting artillery shells. When would this problem of the Sichuan Army be corrected? Liu Tianchu shook his head helplessly. The Sichuan Army was really afraid of poverty. It was obviously a bit harsh to ask them based on his 21st century consumption concept, but he was afraid of wasting artillery shells and regarded life as child's play!

This reason is too far-fetched anyway.

Jiang Hui'an in front of him was his old superior. Liu Tianchu didn't want to be too harsh with his words, so he had to persuade him sincerely: "Regiment! We can make more artillery shells when they are gone, but the life of a soldier is only once. Comparing the two, which one is more important?"

Jiang Huian had a sullen face and lowered her head without speaking, like a child who had done something wrong. Liu Tianchu had no choice but to comfort him: "To tell you the truth, do you still remember the giant monster you saw on the Hunan-Guizhou Highway?"

Jiang Hui'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking for a moment.

"That's our base... Weapons Research Institute. Not to mention artillery shells, as long as there are resources, it can build aircraft, tanks, and ships. Don't be afraid of wasting it in the future." Liu Tianchu originally wanted to say base vehicles, but he thought so.

It was not suitable, so it was changed to a weapons research institute.

Jiang Hui'an looked at him in surprise, obviously surprised, and was stunned at that time. Although he had doubted the origin of the new weapons, it was well known to everyone that the Sichuan Army had taken over the Jinling Arsenal, and the soldiers all said that the scholar was a senior scientist who studied weapons.

Everyone thought that the new weapons were developed by the Jinling Arsenal. It turns out that Liu Tianchu also has a secret weapons research institute?
