The sky in the east is slowly turning white and getting brighter and brighter. The rain has stopped. You can feel the sun rising slowly, but it is not visible. The sky after the rain is filled with fog, and the sunlight cannot penetrate the clouds. On the road after the rain, the swelling ground is soaked, and with a large ball of mud on the shoes, it can't be shaken off.

The civilians who had been busy all night have already followed the armed forces from all over the country.

The Tanggang Bridge from Changxing to Wuxing has completely disappeared. The Japanese transported by land in land and could not be restored within ten days and half a month. The Japanese can only transport materials by water.

At the foot of Tiegong Mountain, east of Lijiaxiang Town, most of the troops of Regiment Liu are stationed in the mountainous areas here, but the regiment headquarters is set up in the town. It feels that the Japanese army of Regiment Liu, which is not difficult to fight, has not been transferred.

The north side of Lijiaxiang Town is close to the canal, and there are more than a dozen low houses sparsely along the river bank. The west side of the town is the road that was destroyed last night.

Most of the southeast of the town are mountainous areas. The mountains are actually not high, with low hills and low hills. About twenty miles past the mountain is Taihu Lake, with reed marshes everywhere.

The south and west sides of the town are full of open fields, with a very good view, with tall trees on both sides of the road, and most of the surrounding areas of the village are bamboo forests.

The Kuomintang army had long dug trenches everywhere in these open areas and forests. Although it was plain terrain, it was also conducive to defense. The small troops that the Japanese launched attacks from here could not play much role.

The most likely direction for the Japanese to attack is to attack Taihu Lake from the water.

Commander Liu's regiment headquarters was located in a town with high walls and thick bricks. When the Japanese arrived, the bloody massacre in Changxing caused panic among the people. There were not many families in the town, and most of them fled to the mountainous areas to the west.

There is a machine gun squad arranged by the guards outside the regiment headquarters; observation posts are set up on the roofs around the town with wide views; and hidden posts are set up by soldiers of the National Army everywhere.

The regiment headquarters set up a company reserve team in the town. Commander Liu kept Li Yuan and his group very "friendly". Tian Wang Shoupeng and Min Li had already returned to Changchaoyou.

The open land in the west of the town.

Li Yuan and Commander Liu were instructing the digging of trenches. Logically, Commander Liu looked down on these guerrillas, but in the result of the battle last night, Commander Liu had to accept it. After fighting so many battles and killing so many Japanese puppet troops, this was the first time.

The trenches on the National Army began to become deeper as Li Yuan said. Although the soldiers of the National Army were unwilling to do it, they heard that they could save their lives. Hundreds of people could work hard. They had already dug almost five of them, and they were almost in a net shape. To the east, they were close to Taihu Lake. The soldiers from another battalion were sweating profusely with shovels.

Commander Liu regretted that the Minjie who had dug the road and left early in the morning after digging the road, so he would definitely be much faster if he wanted Minjie to work together.

Just by feeling, digging the trench like this now will not necessarily save your life, but the Japanese have to fight at least twice as much as possible.

Commander Liu, with his staff and the first battalion commander, walked back and forth in the open field. Due to the rain yesterday, there was still mud everywhere. After turning twice, the mud on his feet became thicker and thicker. He stopped from time to time to shake off the mud, but he was very happy.

I chose a slightly higher place to stop. It was a little drier than the surrounding environment and waved to the battalion commander behind me.

"Build a castle here, divided into two layers, and use nanmu bamboo as the roof, covering at least one meter of soil.

The location was determined, and the first battalion commander left to arrange personnel.

The staff officer asked Captain Liu: "Captain Li's origin is not simple, can't he be incorporated?"

Commander Liu smiled bitterly: "Captain Li's origin is not simple. He may be from northern Shaanxi, but it's just a bit strange. The 105th Division surrounded and suppressed their base areas, but they got together. The one named Li fought the Battle of Songhu, which should be after that."

"Captain Liu is not simple either. He has been inferring most of the ins and outs from just a few words in a day."

"There is nothing wrong with cooperating like this now. Should I report it to the top?"

"Forget it, the division headquarters has a military commander. If you can't fall for it, you will still be a life-and-death enemy a few months ago."

Twenty or thirty people ran over with the first battalion commander, and with shovels, they immediately began to dig the ground and build a bunker under the guidance of a platoon leader.

"Dig two secret passages south and east to connect to the trenches." Commander Liu ordered.

After thinking about it, I called the messenger: "If you inform me, set up a castle every 400 meters, and a single layer can be used in places without mountain bags to form a cross-border network."

The staff officer was surprised: "We are guerrilla now and we may leave at any time. It doesn't make much sense to dig so many bunkers, let alone it is impossible to complete ten days and half a month."

"Hehe, tell me, whoever digs the bunker will guard it, you can see that they can complete it in at most three days."

In order to make the terrain clearer, the squads of each company were posing everywhere and competing with each other, and the soldiers of the National Army were busy working hard.

The grassroots commanders went around to observe the terrain, memorized the surrounding reference objects, and collected dead grass and shrubs according to the instructions of the regiment headquarters. After the bunker was built, they were prepared to be used as disguise.

Dayang finally showed his face. It was almost lunch time. The soldiers in the cooking squad carried the basket to deliver water and meals to the construction site.

Li Yuan, with three squad leaders, was busy in the southeastern mountains, not for anything else, but was just familiar with the shape of the mountain.

At Li Yuan's suggestion, the other mountain roads were filled with company commanders arranged by Commander Liu. They took the map and marked the special terrain in detail on the map at hand. In order to achieve this unified marking, they held a special meeting for a short time.

At the meeting, we learned that the division headquarters combat meeting was implemented after the revision of this suggestion by Team Li, and no one was dissatisfied with the results of the battle.

Last night, the explosive pack of the Japanese car was investigated without the cause of the explosion, and the wires were damaged by humans.

At the same time, two deserters appeared in the army, from the wounded to the damage to the war. The result was self-evident. There must be spies. As for whether there are other spies, we can only investigate slowly.

Chen Yong: "Brother Li, tell Captain Liu these skills on the battlefield. If both sides turn against each other in the future, wouldn't they shoot themselves in the foot?"

Now everyone's enemy is the Japanese. It is a serious matter to fight the Japanese away first. The 76th Division is not a fool and will not make any noise. The Northeast Army has been fighting for so many years. Does anyone know the details?

"That's right, who doesn't have the ability to keep things done?"

"Many troops are originally miscellaneous troops. Their soldiers are of low quality. Even if they hand over these things to them, they may not necessarily implement them."

"Many local troops, the Japanese began to escape as soon as they came to fight. But I have also seen many bloody soldiers. They fight to the death without retreating in the face of the Japanese."
