"Brothers, fire!" Chen Qigang saw that all his subordinates had arrived at their posts. He immediately waved his hand and pointed at the Japanese landing craft breaking through the waves on the sea and shouted sternly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Five deafening and earth-shattering shelling sounds sounded one after another. After the artillery was ejected from the chamber, it turned into five fireballs, forming a sloping line and drawing five lines over the sea.

In a graceful arc, it whizzed down towards the direction of the Japanese landing craft.

"Bang...bang...bang" the artillery shell barely reached the water, then exploded in vain, raising the waves immediately. Although the cannon failed to directly hit the landing craft full of Japanese troops, the shock wave generated by the explosion still made the Japanese

The soldiers broke out in a cold sweat.

Under the pounding of huge waves, some landing craft began to shake violently, and the Japanese soldiers on them turned on their backs. The scene was extremely chaotic.

A Japanese major officer who led the attack firmly grasped an iron handrail in the cabin and roared in shock: "Fight back! Shoot!"

The light and heavy machine gun mounted by the Japanese on the bow of the ship suddenly began to roar, and hot tongues of flame burst out from the muzzle. However, due to the bumps and instability of the ship, the Japanese machine gunner was unable to fire accurately at all, and all the bullets were fired at the blue sky.

of sea water.

Several light cruisers in the distance were surprised to see that the Xiuying Fort actually had a squadron fighting back. They quickly ordered the cruisers to fire and used the artillery fire to cover the advance of the beach landing troops.

For a time, the artillery shells shuttled back and forth over the sea, like meteors streaking across the sky, which was very spectacular. The entire Xiuying Fort was rumbling with gunfire, filled with gunpowder smoke, and filled with flames.

Chen Qigang and more than 250 men, who had been forgotten by the national government, were not afraid of Japanese artillery fire and fought back tenaciously.

As time went by, the battle at Xiuying Fort gradually became intense. Under the artillery bombardment of the defenders of Xiuying Fort, two unlucky Japanese landing crafts were hit in succession, and their hulls were blown to pieces.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition were also killed.

Under the powerful artillery fire from the Japanese cruiser, the fort defenders also suffered casualties. The two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, and the Japanese suddenly withdrew on their own initiative.

Before Chen Qigang and his men had time to cheer for victory, a sampan hurriedly came from the coast. The people on the sampan were Chen Qigang and his fellow villagers.

Seeing Chen Qigang and the Xiuying Fort filled with gunpowder smoke, the visitor said to Chen Qigang without thinking too much: "Director Chen, it's not good, the Japanese have already landed on the shore from the bookstore, and most of the people guarding there died.

Only a handful of people retreated under the Japanese's artillery fire. You'd better retreat quickly. If it's too late, the Japanese will surround you from behind and you won't be able to leave anymore."

"What? The Shuchang Pier has been lost?" Chen Qigang and his men were shocked, and the excitement of repelling the Japanese army disappeared in an instant.

"What about the Fifth Brigade in Haikou? Why don't they fight back and regain their position?" Chen Qigang asked urgently.

"You don't know, in fact, as early as two days ago, those who heard the news in Haikou City had already evacuated. The Fifth Security Brigade and others were completely frightened by the Japanese. Those who dared to fight with the Japanese died at Shuchang Pier.

They have taken up positions. Haikou is now an undefended city, and they have all withdrawn to the south." The visitor explained.

"Assholes, these regular troops, who eat food but don't fight, actually fled without fighting!" Chen Qigang was immediately indignant when he heard this.

At this moment, the Japanese troops on the sea left and returned, and the sentry in charge of security immediately reported to Chen Qigang.

"Director Chen, without further ado, retreat quickly!" the visitor quickly urged.

"Yes, Commander, all the regular troops have fled, we don't have to wait here to die!"

"That's right, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood." Several artillery commanders echoed.

Chen Qigang turned around and looked around the fort that they had held for more than 20 years, and said resolutely with grief and anger: "Blow up all the cannons and withdraw!"

……………………

"Kill Gaga!" When the Japanese Major saw that his landing craft was about to dock, he immediately raised his command knife and waved it forward.

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers with bayonets in hand jumped off the landing craft like dumplings one after another. Under the cover of their own light and heavy machine guns, they waded in knee-deep water and rushed towards Xiuying Fort.

Soon, hundreds of Japanese soldiers successfully landed, and the dazzling plaster flag flew over the Xiuying Fort. The five cannons on the Xiuying Fort had now turned into a pile of scrap metal.

When the Japanese Major came to the Zhendong Fort with the police guards, his face was uncertain, and he said in disbelief: "Bagaya Road, the damn Chinese people rely on these old antiques to fight the imperial army?!

"

The Japanese Major could not but be angry. If the Second Infantry Regiment had not successfully landed on the beach from the direction of Shuchang Pier, he would have been forced to stop the attack on Xiuying Fort.

Suddenly, a communications soldier carrying a radio hurried over, snapped to attention and reported to the Japanese Major: "Major Murai, the commander of the regiment called and ordered us to immediately move closer to Haikou and pursue the Chinese who had fled from Xiuying Fort.

Defeat the troops!"

"Yes!" The Japs Major named Murai nodded with a livid face, then raised the command knife in his hand high and roared like a wolf: "Target, Haikou, attack at full speed!!!"

Soon, all the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who had landed turned around and walked towards the other end of Xiuying Fort. The Japanese soldiers driving the landing craft were already waiting there. The Japanese soldiers quickly boarded the ship and scrambled to get there.

Heading towards Haikou.

About half an hour later, all the gunfire in Haikou City had stopped. The blue-sky white sun flag hanging on the Haikou government office building fell sadly, and in its place was the white plaster flag that shamed countless Chinese people.

Haikou, an important port city in northern Hainan, declared its fall within less than half a day of fighting with the Japanese army.

Three days later, the first Japanese army that had landed in Haikou set off from Shenwei Bay in the north of Qiongzhou Strait on a naval ship, marched along the southwestern sea coast, and entered Sanya Bay in Hainan in the early morning of the 14th. Immediately under the cover of fierce firepower from its powerful navy and air force, it began

Landing on the beach.

Due to the lack of heavy weapons and anti-aircraft weapons, the three dú lì battalions under the 5th Security Brigade of the local defenders National Revolutionary Army failed to prevent the Japanese troops from landing on the beach.

When the Japanese army successfully landed, they immediately launched an attack on the defensive positions of the three dú lì battalions. The officers and soldiers of the three dú lì battalions fought back, and the two sides launched a desperate and bloody battle on land!

In the end, the Chinese Army was forced to retreat because it was outnumbered, and the Japanese army successfully occupied Sanya Port.

After capturing Sanya, the Japanese army continued to march northward without stopping, with great momentum along the way, and then occupied Yulin, Yazhou and other places.

At the same time, the North Route Japanese Army also marched south along the highway. Under the simultaneous attacks from the North and South Routes of the Japanese Army, the Hainan Army was defeated one after another. By April, most of the large and medium-sized cities in Hainan had basically fallen. The Fifth Security Brigade

Commander Wang Yi led the remaining troops to retreat to the hinterland of Hainan Island.

Also evacuating with them were a large number of business people from Haikou, Wenchang and other places at that time, as well as celebrities from Guangdong and other places who took refuge in Hainan.

……………………

On April 7, the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China, at 6:30 in the morning, Wuzhishan, the base of Yi Zhenhua Dú Lì Camp.

It has been more than two months since the dú lì camp was formed, and after the full training of Zhao Daquan and Haoyue, its mental outlook has changed a lot.

First of all, Yi Zhenhua, Haoyue and Zhao Daquan all come from the future, and their training concepts and methods are definitely much more advanced than this world.

In addition, Yi Zhenhua spared no expense to improve the food for his one hundred recruits. For more than two months, all the soldiers have eaten well and are in strong shape. Coupled with high-intensity training, their physical fitness has improved greatly.

improvement.

With these as the foundation, the training of the new recruits has been much smoother. In Yi Zhenhua's words, it has begun to take shape.

According to Yi Zhenhua's arrangement, Zhao Daquan deployed patrols and covert outposts around the base to ensure that the base would not be surprised by the enemy's surprise attack.

Fifteen-year-old Nuohu, because he excelled in shooting competitions and had his big wolf dog as a companion, was promoted to a squad leader of the Dú lì battalion by an exception. In fact, the total strength of the Dú lì battalion is currently less than

A regular army company is full, so the dú lì battalion has only one company commander, Zhao Daquan, and the deputy company commander and instructor is Haoyue.

For the remaining three platoons, each platoon plus the platoon leader has thirty people, and so on, each squad has ten people. The other ten people are Yi Zhenhua's own police squad, and Haoyue serves as the squad leader.

After Nuohu became the squad leader, he naturally tried his best and fulfilled his duties.

As usual, today Nuohu was patrolling at the foot of the mountain with nine soldiers from his squad. Suddenly, Nuohu's big black barked loudly without warning.

Nuohu squatted down and comforted Dahei a few times, but he didn't want Dahei to scream even louder and kept rushing towards the dirt road ahead, trying to break free from the rope in Nuohu's hands.

Nuohu struggled to hold Dahei, raised his head and looked forward, but did not see anything unusual. Just when he was about to scold his Dahei, suddenly, a burst of rapid gunshots came from the front: "Pah, pah, pah..."

When Nuohu and others heard the sound, they took off the Garand rifles on their backs and hid in the grass on the roadside with Dahei.

Soon, Nuohu and others discovered the source of the gunfire. A group of soldiers wearing the same military uniforms as themselves were retreating hastily. They fired back while retreating.

Chasing behind them were a group of soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms. Nuohu had never seen such uniforms before, but since joining the dú lì camp, Yi Zhenhua has used these uniforms many times in training.

Military uniforms of various colors and styles serve as targets for everyone to shoot at.

He also told them that this was the Japanese standard military uniform. Therefore, when he saw such military uniforms worn on the Japanese Japs, Nuo Hu instantly understood that they were Japanese Japs.
