Chapter 561: The Counterattack Begins
Regarding the fortifications of the three towns in Wuhan, Zhong Yi and his brother-in-law Zhang Yuandong made great efforts.
Zhong Yi attaches great importance to confidentiality work. When building underground fortifications, Zhong Yi set a rule that all workers involved in the project must cover their eyes with cloth strips before entering the position!
Including the Hankou Railway Station Fortress, the Guishan and Schershan, and the underground passages of up to two floors of Wuhan’s three towns, all migrant workers participating in the project do not know the specific location!
In fact, not only migrant workers, but even Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude are not sure about it!
Only Zhong Yi and Zhang Yuandong are the only ones who truly grasp this secret. The construction drawings of the project were also hidden by Zhong Yi in a very hidden corner, and it is impossible to leak the secret!
So until the map of the command center came down, Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude didn’t know that there were tunnels underground in Hankou!
They know about air raid shelters and underground bunkers!
Moreover, the underground bunkers of many positions are connected to each other, and they also know this! And they played a very important role in the battle!
But they didn't know that in addition to the air raid shelter and these underground bunkers, there were also tunnels!
What surprised them even more was that these tunnels could reach the Japanese from their existing positions!
So after getting the map, Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude were all a little surprised, but in addition to the surprise, he became full of confidence in the upcoming counterattack!
Please imagine what kind of chain reaction will a Chinese and Japanese armies suddenly appear behind the Japanese army when they are fighting fiercely in front of them?
Therefore, Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude all selected an elite force from their respective troops! Zhu Liangcheng selected Chi Peng's 1st Battalion!
...
Time soon came to late at night on August 13.
On the street, more than 200 elite veterans from the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 367th Brigade were already on standby.
These more than 200 veterans were selected by Chi Peng from the remaining remaining soldiers of the 1st Battalion. They were all heroes who crawled out of the dead!
Under the nightfall, Chi Peng's eyes swept over, and more than two hundred veterans stood attentively.
But there were more than 200 veterans who were in a water-beaded rifle and eight grenades were falling on their waists.
Many veterans also carry explosive bags on their backs, which is the standard configuration of the suicide squad. In case when necessary, they pull the fuse index to detonate the explosive bag and die together with the Japanese!
In short, these more than 200 elite veterans are ready to sacrifice!
Chi Peng said: "Brothers, the Taiping Lane position was thrown away from our 1st battalion. This is our shame, so only by taking back the Taiping Lane position with one hand can this shame be washed away!"
He paused and said, "I won't say much about the great truth. I will just say one thing. This time, either the devils die or we die. Brothers, are you all ready?"
"It's ready!" More than two hundred veterans responded with a loud bang.
"Very good!" Chi Peng nodded happily, waved his hand and shouted, "Go away!"
Immediately afterwards, Chi Peng brought more than 200 fully armed elite veterans to a secret dead end, then opened the entrance of the tunnel from under the wall at the bottom of the dead end, and then entered it in one after another!
...
Almost at the same time, Mori Mori, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment, was patrolling the position.
At nearly twelve o'clock, Mori Mohiro inspected the positions of the 1st Infantry Battalion, the three brigades of the 10th Infantry Regiment, and the 1st Infantry Battalion was at the forefront.
If the national army really launches a counterattack, the 1st Battalion will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
"Your Excellency Colonel!" Seeing Mori Masahiro coming over with a saber, the captain of the 1st brigade, Shuichi Sasaki, quickly came forward and saluted.
"Sasaki-kun." Mori Masahiro waved his hand and continued, "The defensive position of your infantry 1st Battalion is closest to that of the Chinese army, so you need to be extra careful!"
After pausing, Mori Masahiro continued to ask: "The fixed whistle and mobile whistle are all arranged?"
"Hayi!" Sasaki Hide said, "Don't worry, you have already arranged it!"
"Yo Xi!" Mori Mori nodded happily. Just as he was about to encourage him, a soothing sound suddenly came from the night sky ahead. When he looked up quickly, he saw a red signal flare rising into the air!
"Is this?" Maori Suhiro and Sasaki Hideic suddenly looked furious.
The next moment, a tide-like shouting sounded in the direction of Shajia Lane ahead.
Immediately afterwards, gunfire sounded loudly on the frontier positions closest to Shajia Lane!
"Baga!" Sasaki Hideichi immediately cursed, "I didn't expect the Chinese army to really fight back!"
"It seems yes!" Mori Masahiro nodded heavily, turned his head and said to Sasaki Hideichi, "Sasaki, teach the Chinese army a good lesson, what is the real defense!"
"Hayi!" Sasaki Hideichi pulled out his saber and shouted sternly, "Everything is there, prepare for battle!"
Accompanied by the loud shout of Shuichi Sasaki, the Japanese soldiers who were already waiting to be on the verge of the sword sat up one after another and entered their respective shooting positions as fast as possible. A rod of rifles, a thrust of crooked handles and a Type 92 heavy machine gun were all set up, and the black muzzles were all pointed diagonally towards Taiping Lane in front.
...
Erbao took a nap in a daze and was suddenly awakened by a dazzling red light.
When he looked up quickly, Erbao saw a red signal flare that had already risen in the air.
Immediately afterwards, gunfire and explosions rang out, and Erbao was immediately excited!
Is this the main force launching a counterattack? From a time perspective, it’s time to start a counterattack!
At that moment, Erbao supported the two side walls of the hole with his feet, and then climbed up little by little. After a while, Erbao rose from the bottom of the hole to the roof again!
When I looked closely, I saw that the night sky in the south was filled with dazzling light.
Each of these dazzling streams of light represents a bullet, which is the stream of light brought out by bullets of various calibers when flying at high speed in the night sky!
Sometimes, a ball of dazzling red light suddenly blooms! It is a strong light burst out when shells, grenades or grenades explode on the battlefield!
Erbao's eyes returned to the vicinity and saw teams of Japanese soldiers running on the street.
Without thinking, Erbao raised the rifle in his hand and aimed at one of the Japanese.
But the next moment, Erbao lowered his rifle again, because firing at this time was not a wise choice. It would be better to wait until the friendly forces hit the nearby area before firing the gun from the secret to support it!
Erbao quietly retreated to the dark place on the roof again.
After thinking for a while, Erbao took off his already ragged military uniform and wrapped around the muzzle of the Shui Lianzhu rifle.
Chapter completed!
