The coal chemical factory developed rapidly, and the cement, bauxite and fired refractory bricks, generators and reactors provided by the cement plant were built, and the output of coal coke and coal tar was greatly improved.

"Fractions are carried out according to the boiling point range, we have already made toluene, benzene, and the most widely used kerosene from coal tar." Director Yuan Chunlin introduced to Yang Tianfeng excitedly, "Several experts have given us good guidance and suggestions, but it's a pity..."

"Well, I guess there will be experts and scholars to help us soon. But we also need to cultivate our own experts." Yang Tianfeng smiled bitterly and said, "From nothing to be achieved, the achievements of the coal chemical plant are gratifying. I, Mr. Yang, know about your hard work. You must mention any shortcomings in life, treatment, etc., and I will try my best to satisfy you."

"If you have a salary, you won't eat badly." said a technician. "More importantly, there is room for us to use our meager talents."

"General Yang is working hard. He fights outside so that we can work with peace of mind and do our best for the war of resistance."

Yang Tianfeng said a few words of humility, and then studied and discussed the development plan of the coal chemical plant with everyone before saying goodbye to everyone.

…………….

A strong white light flashed, followed by a deafening explosion.

The earth trembled violently in the explosion, followed by the second and third... loud noises continued, smoke filled the air, and the light shone brightly.

Several large pits of two or three meters deep appeared on the ground, and within a few dozen meters of the explosion center, all of which were razed to the ground. Most of the fortifications, bunkers and barbed wire flew into the sky. The Japanese soldiers hiding inside were blown to death and shocked to death. Even the trenches were filled with soil.

In the early morning of May 5, 1939, on the eve of the first anniversary of the fall of Anqing, the 526th Brigade of the 176th Division of the Kuomintang Guangxi Division and the Ninth Guerrilla Column, with the support of Hao Wenbo's troops in the puppet army, launched the largest night attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Anqing City.

There were three regiments of a brigade, as well as the artillery of the division, and the Ninth Guerrilla Column and other troops, the total strength was nearly 10,000. The main attacking force entered the city from the gap in the broken city wall on the north side of Yuhong Gate, and opened the Yuhong Gate, which was closed by the Japanese army for a year, and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the city. After lurking in place, the Ninth Column launched a fierce attack on the military airport east of Anqing City with the cooperation of a battalion of regular troops.

The sudden use of the thunder cannon was shocking, and most of the squadrons' airport defenders were defeated by this fierce bombing.

"Come on, rush on, come on for me!" The commander of the Ninth Column Mo Gui jumped up and shouted, his ears buzzing, and he couldn't even hear his voice clearly.

"Get the plane." Deputy Commander Li Xingui still remembered the order before the war and shouted to remind him.

The above agreed. A complete plane gave a hundred shotguns, ten grenade launchers, five steel fists, and a bonus of 20,000; even parts were required for broken planes, but there was no such a generous reward. There was also oil, which could also be used to pay for money and supplies!

Although this is difficult, it is really tempting. The Ninth Column is considered a guerrilla armed force, and its ammunition and food are one level worse than that of the regular army. The plane is useless to them. I originally thought that they would all explode and burn it. But since I could get so many benefits, I would take some trouble to take it back.

Yang Tianfeng finally couldn't help but send a telegram to Liao Lei, not asking about attacking Anqing, but just saying that if he had the chance, he could get the plane or parts of the plane and exchange the weapons.

Liao Lei really needs new weapons and is not at ease. Anyway, he wants to attack Anqing, so he can do it. If he can, he can do it! But when the order comes to the bottom, he has already reduced Yang Tianfeng's price by half.

On the way to the impact, in addition to the broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, many Japanese died on the ground with their eyes wide open and their facial features bleeding. The Japanese did not know that they could not lie on the ground when the thunder bombed, but should squat on the ground. These were all shocked by huge vibrations and shock waves.

"I'm sorry!" Mo Gui cursed Guangxi and kicked away the Japanese corpse that tripped him.

After fighting so many battles, I only counted this time. Mo Gui knew very well how difficult it was to fight a squadron of Japanese soldiers. Just this fierce bombardment caused few soldiers under his command to be killed or injured!

Although he didn't know what the weapon was called, it was now from the 176th Division, and even the artillery was transferred from the division, Mo Gui had already made up his mind that he would have to have a few majestic guys in any way.

The battle in the city was still going on fiercely. The 526th Brigade had already poured into two regiments, crossing Guojiaqiao and Guandi Temple to the north, and heading straight to Neizheng Street in North Gate. The Japanese Qingye Brigade stationed near Sheng Street pursued from Dazhuzi Lane in the south, intercepted from Xiaosu Road in the east, and at Daguaojiao Head, the two armies launched a fierce exchange of fire.

Anqing is not as good as Kaifeng. It has many enemies around it and is convenient for the Yangtze River. The command center's combat plan also has time limits, which is tighter than opening the seal. When it attacks in the early morning, it will start to retreat when it is slightly dawn. It only takes five or six hours to complete the battle. Mo Ruyang, the brigade commander in Yuhong Gate, jumped straight away and tried to go to the front line to command himself several times, but was forced to stop by the staff and guards.

"The airport has been captured, and Mo Gui is ordered to divide his troops to attack the Bagua Sect and restrain the Japanese army." Mo Ruyang stood on the city tower, raised his telescope, and observed the war in the city.

In Anqing City, gunfire and explosions spread everywhere, and the arrangement of chaos was carried out thoroughly, and several fires were also ignited. It should be that Hao Wenbo's troops were familiar with the terrain and were in command to divide their troops to fight and burn down the Japanese and puppet organs in the city.

"Appoint Zhang Tuan not to fight to the death with the enemy in front of him, divide his troops into detours, break through the wall and open the way, and directly attack the enemy command center." Mo Ruyang took off his military cap, and was so anxious that he was sweating. "Aren't all arranged? Why can't he fight out?"

It is easy to use a new tactic, but it is difficult to use it proficiently. Especially at the lower level, it takes time, practice, and practical training and summary.

Let’s talk about attacking Kaifeng. Although they achieved great results, Yang Tianfeng and Dong Wanxuan still made old problems at the same time and fought with the blocking enemy for a long time. Although they later broke through the wall and divided their troops into circles, the execution was not firm and it was slower by half a beat.

The 526th Brigade assault regiment has also made the same mistake. This is the difference between the front line and the command center. When the fight is fierce, it often lacks a little calmness.

Despite this, the attack on Anqing also achieved much greater results than in history. Under the guidance provided by Hao Wenbo's troops, the support group approached the Jixianmen area and forced the Japanese command to move outside the city. Subsequently, the support group fought fiercely with some Japanese troops left behind in the headquarters. Under the cover of night and ruins, they suddenly used flying thunder cannons and attacked the enemy command in one fell swoop.

The Qingye Brigade's defenders stationed in Anqing were attacked from front and back at Daguai Corner. With heavy casualties, they fled eastward along Xiaosu Road.

It was dim and the scattered battles in the city had not stopped yet, but Mo Ruyang had to issue an order to retreat.
