Dong Xingwen pressed, "Test what?"

"Take all the cannons under one hundred and fifty millimeters caliber away, even if you can't take them all.

"Taking the barrels off and taking them is also good.

"If you can't take off the barrels, take off the whole gun body."

"What about the other fortress guns?"

"Blow them up, blow them up so their own mother wouldn't recognize they were ever cannons."

Lin Fan's words made the officers and soldiers of the Junshan Fort laugh.

"Company Commander Lin! Does that mean you need our help?" Dong Xingwen said seriously.

"We are professionals. When it comes to fighting, we are not as good as you.

"When it comes to dismantling cannons, you are not as good as us!"

Lin Fan smiled, "Good! I'll leave a squad here to cooperate with your actions.

"I have only one request: act quickly, as quickly as possible.

"Now I'm going to Longgang Fort; I want to take the cannons there too."

Lin Fan ordered Chen Sichuan, "Take away all the equipment that can be taken from Junshan Fort.

"Take every single screw on the vehicle."

Then he said to Commander Dong Xingwen, "Is that okay?"

"No problem! Provided that what we can't take, you can move!"

"Good! Understood?" Lin Fan asked loudly.

"Understood!" Chen Sichuan replied loudly.

With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred soldiers got out of the vehicles.

Chen Sichuan asked Dong Xingwen for instructions: "Commander Dong, which cannons should we dismantle first?"

Dong Xingwen said, "Come with me. In our fort, there are four 150mm cannons in total.

"However, two of them have been damaged in the recent artillery battles, and there are only two intact ones left."

Chen Sichuan immediately said, "Dismantle the good and the bad at the same time.

"What about the other cannons?"

"There are also three 240mm fortress guns and one 340mm fortress gun."

Chen Sichuan waved his hand, "Blow them up! Blow them all up! Take the barrels, take the scrap iron.

"What about the ammunition?"

Dong Xingwen said, "Our shells have been consumed in the past few days, and there are not many left. There are less than a hundred 150mm shells, twenty-three 240mm shells, and seven 340mm shells."

Chen Sichuan immediately said, "Commander Dong! Assign someone to lead the way, and I'll send a team of soldiers to move the ammunition onto the vehicles."

"Chi Yada! Open the gate and let these brothers move the ammunition away.

"He is the quartermaster of Junshan Fort."

Chen Sichuan said with a smile, "The battle is urgent. I'll buy you a drink after today."

Chi Yada was not a man of many words.

He only responded with one word, "Yes!"

Chen Sichuan ordered with a smile, "Chen Xing, take a squad of twenty men to move the ammunition.

"Whether it's shells, bullets, iron balls, or explosives.

"Even training sand and practice rounds, move them all away!"

Dong Xingwen looked at this squad leader who kept saying "move away! move everything away!"

The smallest official, saying the biggest words.

A green flare rose.

The Special Company immediately rushed towards Longgang Fort, not far from Junshan.

After delaying some time at Junshan, the tanks finally caught up from behind.

Two tanks led the way, charging towards Longgang Fort.

Some of the defeated soldiers from Daojiang Ishikawa's brigade had already run to Yue Se Youhui's brigade, which was besieging Longgang Fort.

Yue Se Youhui's brigade immediately changed its defensive direction in a hurry.

The officers and soldiers on Longgang Fort had already discovered the changes that had taken place at Junshan Fort.

Commander Mao Xinshi ordered all the artillerymen to take up their weapons and shoot at the Japanese troops surrounding Longgang Fort.

The officers and soldiers of the fort were able to withstand the Japanese attack for most of the day, and their combat effectiveness was also very strong.

The reason they were still staying at Longgang Fort and had not retreated was that the fort's communication had been completely cut off.

These forts were already fighting on their own, and they didn't know what to do next.

During the day, they insisted on resisting the Japanese infantry attacks.

At the same time, they insisted on firing at the pre-arranged positions on the Yangtze River.

They persisted in this way until dark.

Now that the fortress had finally sent soldiers to relieve the siege, the combat effectiveness displayed by these officers and soldiers was much stronger than when they resisted the Japanese attack in the afternoon.

Commander Mao Xinshi quickly discovered that his team's firepower and combat effectiveness were nothing compared to the team rushing up the mountain.

He could clearly remember that the area was all paddy fields.

Now, in that paddy field area, there was actually continuous firepower that only machine guns could have.

And there was not just one, but at least five firing points.

Who was this team that had come to relieve the siege?

So powerful!

Brigade Commander Yue Se Youhui was now very confused. Should he retreat into the darkness to hide?

Or should he continue to let the team stand firm?

He had already seen the combat effectiveness of this suddenly arriving team, and it was completely impossible for Yue Se Youhui's brigade to resist.

But if he retreated like this, the plan to capture Longgang Fort would be completely ruined.

While he was hesitating, the Special Company's all-round offensive advanced another fifty meters.

The defensive position of Yue Se Youhui's brigade had been compressed to less than five hundred meters.

Brigade Commander Yue Se Youhui no longer hesitated and issued the latest order: "Retreat!"

He could not let the entire brigade die here.

While the Special Company was busy rescuing the fort,

The 103rd Division had already begun to retreat. The order issued by the Jiangyin Commander in Jiangyin County the night before was to begin the retreat at four o'clock in the morning.

He Zhizhong's 103rd Division, because the defensive position was on the east side of the Jiangyin defense area, and the team needed to go west, all the way west to Jingjiang, or retreat from the pier below the Huangshan Fort on the Yangtze River.

And both of these routes required passing through Jiangyin County first.

Commander He was afraid that the 112th Division stationed in Jiangyin County would retreat first (this kind of thing was particularly prominent in the just-concluded Battle of Songhu).

He had to make a bold decision: the 103rd Division would retreat first.

They were fully four hours early. When the 613th Regiment and the 618th Regiment passed through Jiangyin City, they quietly did not disturb the 112th Division stationed in the city.

When they passed through Qianjia Village west of Jiangyin City,

They encountered a team of Japanese soldiers who had just been defeated by the Special Company: the direct team of the regiment led by Regiment Commander Noda Kengo, who had retreated from Xiagang Town.

Regiment Commander Noda Kengo was almost driven crazy tonight: he was sleeping soundly with a beautiful girl when he was suddenly attacked by the National Army.

Not only was he driven out of his warm bed,

He encountered the National Army again when he fled to Qianjia Village.

Wasn't this too bullying?

Now there were still more than two hundred Japanese soldiers around him, and these soldiers desperately fired at the suddenly encountered 103rd Division.

The sudden encounter with the Japanese soldiers instantly shattered the 103rd Division's original retreat plan.

Although they had the retreat order and retreat plan issued by the Jiangyin Defense Command,

However, Commander He was afraid that the 112th Division would run away first, so he did not follow the defense area's planned route.

Instead, he opened up a route that he thought was safe.

When they were suddenly attacked here, the front of the two regiments that were engaged could not get out of the battle.

The division headquarters immediately broke away from the main force and detoured and interspersed nearby.

Commander He, along with Chief of Staff Wang Guanghan, Zhou Xiangkui, the injured commander of the 615th Regiment who had been sent to the division headquarters, and the division headquarters personnel, crossed the river at Huangtiangang at the foot of Huangshan.

The 613th Regiment and the 618th Regiment launched attacks on the Japanese soldiers guarding Qianjia Village from the left and right directions respectively.

Under these circumstances, Regiment Commander Luo Yibin of the 613th Regiment had no idea how many Japanese soldiers were on the opposite side.

But it was certain that the Japanese soldiers had strong firepower.

His regiment was responsible for the vanguard task of the entire division, and the division headquarters was behind him.

If they were blocked by the Japanese soldiers here, the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous the 103rd Division would be.

The brave win when narrow roads meet! In this dark night, he remembered the morning when he encountered the Special Company, when the position of his regiment was about to be lost.

The soldiers of the Special Company, holding rifles with shiny bayonets, rushed towards the Japanese soldiers.

Afterwards, when Company Commander Lin was asked why they fought with bayonets, Company Commander Lin said: "This is to show the Japanese soldiers that we are not afraid of them.

"A team that can fight with bayonets is the most responsible team."

Now it was time for the 613th Regiment to show its attitude.

Regiment Commander Luo Yibin shouted loudly: "Fix bayonets! The entire regiment, charge with me!"

The 613th Regiment launched a bayonet charge against the Japanese soldiers in the dark. Regiment Commander Luo Yibin and Deputy Regiment Commander Wei Zixuan rushed to the front of the team.

With the regimental commander personally leading the charge, the soldiers of the 613th Regiment all stood up from the ground.

They followed the regimental commander's pace.

Regiment Commander Noda Kengo was furious. The team he had encountered earlier had firepower that was despairingly strong.

The team he had encountered now did not have strong firepower.

But their courage was also despairingly strong: these soldiers, in the dark night, with a little bit of light,

Actually launched a bayonet charge against him.

Watching these soldiers brave the dense hail of bullets and charge towards the defense line he had established,

Regiment Commander Noda Kengo shouted loudly: "Hold on! Hold on!"

The 613th Regiment paid a heavy price to break into the temporarily established defense line of the Noda Kengo Regiment.

The two hundred or so soldiers in the regimental headquarters of the entire Noda Kengo Regiment immediately collapsed.

They did not dare to continue fighting. No matter how Regiment Commander Noda Kengo ordered, these soldiers began to flee into the darkness.

At this time, as long as they slipped into the darkness, it would not be easy to be discovered.

After the soldiers of the 613th Regiment broke into the Japanese defense line, Regiment Commander Noda Kengo finally issued a retreat order again.

This was the second retreat order he had issued in one night.

Regiment Commander Luo Yibin and Deputy Regiment Commander Wei Zixuan both sacrificed in the charge just now.

Both of them fell on the road of the charge, but even though they fell, the soldiers of the 613th Regiment continued to charge and finally drove the Japanese soldiers away.

The 618th Regiment cooperated with the 613th Regiment from the side and rushed through Qianjia Village.

Now they had lost contact with the division headquarters. The already heavily damaged 613th Regiment had lost another 360 men in the bayonet charge just now.

At this time, Regiment Commander Wan Shijiong of the 618th Regiment ordered: "The 618th Regiment will lead the way in front.

"The remaining soldiers of the 613th Regiment will follow behind the 618th Regiment.

"Let's all rush out together."

The 615th Regiment of the 103rd Division was originally following behind the division headquarters as the rearguard.

In the dark night, the division headquarters suddenly disappeared.

Due to the injury of Zhou Xiangkui, the commander of the 615th Regiment, Deputy Division Commander Dai Zhiqi of the 103rd Division took over the command of the 615th Regiment.

They also lost contact with the 613th and 618th Regiments, which were leading the way in front.

On their way forward, they encountered a company sent out by the 38th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.

The company of Xiaoshui Neiyouzhen was ordered to go to support Wangjia Village.

When they arrived at Wangjia Village, they only saw Japanese corpses all over the ground.

While the company of Xiaoshui Neiyouzhen was cleaning up the corpses of their comrades, Dai Zhiqi led the 615th Regiment over.

The battle between the two sides immediately broke out.

In the darkness, the 615th Regiment had no idea where they were now.

They were completely lost.

Now they were blocked here by the Japanese soldiers and had no choice but to fight fiercely with them.

When Wan Shijiong led the two regiments to continue retreating, they were blocked by the Japanese soldiers again when they reached Xiagang Town.

This time, the one who blocked him was still the 38th Regiment. One of the three companies sent by Regiment Commander Zhu Zanjingji came to support.

Company Commander Mei Heyoutai also arrived at the place where he was ordered to support.

He only saw traces of fighting all over the ground, and corpses of imperial soldiers everywhere.

But he could not find an enemy.

While Company Commander Mei Heyoutai was wondering, Wan Gongjiong led two regiments and rushed in.

From the very beginning, the battle between the two sides was very fierce.

Company Commander Mei Heyoutai had already seen hundreds of Japanese corpses in Xiagang Town.

He believed that this was a trap set by the National Army, constantly attracting the empire's warriors to come in, and then concentrating superior forces to annihilate them.

Wan Shijiong and his 618th Regiment now believed that their team had entered an ambush set up by the Japanese.

After breaking through one blockade line, there was another blockade line.

If they could not quickly break through the Japanese defense line here, and if more Japanese soldiers rushed over, they would all have to be explained here.

With this thought in mind, the soldiers of the 613th Regiment were anxious.

Before they entered Xiagang Town, two Japanese heavy machine guns completely blocked the road, and the 618th Regiment could not move an inch.

Regiment Commander Wan Shijiong of the 618th Regiment pointed to the left side of the road and ordered Platoon Leader Fang Si Yuan to lead two squads and detour through the paddy fields.

Detouring like this would take at least twenty minutes.

The main force of the 618th Regiment attracted the Japanese machine gun firepower here.

Platoon Leader Fang Siyuan led two squads, carrying two light machine guns, and waded through the paddy fields, waded through the chest-deep ditches outside Xiagang Town.

Only then did they quietly sneak in from the left side of Xiagang, touched the roof, and established a machine gun position.

Only then did they organize the soldiers and throw a wave of grenades to blow up the firing point composed of two Japanese heavy machine guns.

At the same time, the two light machine guns on the roof also opened fire.

All of a sudden, Mei Heyoutai's company was stunned.

Mei Heyoutai's company was suddenly attacked from both the front and the rear, and their hearts were even more convinced that the National Army had set up a trap here.

Mei Heyoutai's company immediately analyzed the situation: there was an enemy machine gun position on the left side, and a large enemy force in front.

Only the rear and the right side had not yet discovered the enemy.

With such a meticulous plan, the rear, such an important direction, must have an ambush.

Company Commander Mei Heyoutai had already considered these thoughts in just a moment.

He made a decisive decision: "Everyone, turn to the right side of Xiagang Town!"

Mei Heyoutai's company finally cleared the way, and at this time, the entire company of nearly two hundred people had lost nearly a hundred people.

When Wan Shijiong led the team into Xiagang Town, he could hardly believe his eyes: the entire Xiagang Town was full of Japanese corpses.

He just roughly counted them: "At least three hundred Japanese corpses.

"We killed so many Japanese soldiers in this battle just now?"

He had questions in his heart, but Commander Wan did not need to say them.

He said with a smile to the soldiers of the two regiments: "Brothers, take a look!

"We fought so well in this battle just now.

"In less than an hour, we killed at least three hundred Japanese soldiers.

"Brothers! Cheer up! Keep rushing! Even if the Japanese really set up an ambush, I will break through it tonight, even if it means death."

These remnants of two regiments, who were originally panicked outside Xiagang Town,

After entering Xiagang Town and seeing so many Japanese corpses on the ground,

These could not be faked at all.

Only then did they know: it turned out that they were so capable of fighting.

Many soldiers laughed: "After killing so many Japanese soldiers tonight, even if we die, it will be worth it."

Someone also said: "We killed more Japanese soldiers in the battle we fought in front just now than there are here.

"It is not worth dying now. We have to continue fighting the Japanese soldiers like this.

"Keep fighting until we reach Nanjing."

Now that the soldiers could talk freely, Wan Shijiong's mind was finally settled.

When people's hearts were scattered, the team would not be easy to lead.

As long as the morale of these soldiers was still there, Commander Wan was 100% confident that he could break through if he encountered Japanese soldiers blocking the road like in Xiagang Town tonight.

The attack of the 615th Regiment of the 103rd Division on Wangjia Village was not smooth.

They could not capture it after a long time!

The Japanese soldiers had fierce firepower.

Deputy Division Commander Dai Zhiqi was anxious. If they continued to fight like this,

They would attract more Japanese soldiers, and these people would probably not be able to rush out.

He personally came to the front line, pulled out his pistol, and could not recognize who was who in the dark night.

He mobilized loudly: "Brothers of the 615th Regiment, I am Dai Zhiqi, the deputy division commander of the 103rd Division.

"If anyone recognizes me, say something."

He had been to the various regiments in the division to supervise the battles, and many ordinary soldiers recognized him.

Immediately, soldiers echoed: "It's Commander Dai!"

"It's Commander Dai!"

Only then did Dai Zhiqi continue to say: "We are trapped here, and now there is no way out. We don't know what is happening behind us.

"The way ahead is blocked, but as long as we rush through here, there is a pier in front, and we can safely retreat to Jingjiang and retreat to the other side of the river.

"Brothers have already rushed several times, but we are always short of the final effort.

"Now I will add the final effort, and brothers will follow behind me.

"The division commander will rush to the front, is the deputy regiment commander here?"

"Report to the division commander, Regiment Commander Zhang has already sacrificed."

"If the deputy regiment commander sacrifices, the battalion commander will take his place. If the battalion commander sacrifices, the company commander will take his place.

"You follow behind me.

"If I retreat, execute me on the spot according to military law.

"Soldiers follow behind the officers. If the officers retreat, execute them on the spot according to military law."

After everyone was ready, Dai Zhiqi was the first to rush to the front, followed by the officers of the entire 615th Regiment, and finally the ordinary soldiers.

This was a charge with no retreat.

Xiaoshui Neiyouzhen's company had been fighting very steadily tonight.

When the officers and soldiers on the opposite side suddenly launched a desperate charge as if they were looking for death,

Xiaoshui Neiyouzhen's company could no longer hold on.

Soon they began a bayonet charge with the 615th Regiment.

Xiaoshui Neiyouzhen's company only had less than two hundred people, and the 615th Regiment still had as many as eight hundred soldiers left. This time, Xiaoshui Neiyouzhen's company was completely defeated.

When the team led by Lin Fan had scavenged the Junshan and Longgang forts, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

He said to Mao Xinshi, the commander of Longgang Fort: "You can retreat now. Do you need us to escort you?"

Mao Xinshi refused: "We can retreat on a small road. No Japanese soldiers have been found in this direction."

The soldiers of Junshan Fort, under the leadership of Commander Dong Xingwen, had already followed the convoy of a squad to Longgang to join forces.

The officers and soldiers of these two forts could directly walk to Huangshan Fort and cross the river from the pier below the fort.

Since this was the case, the Special Company immediately drove towards Xiaoshan Fort with the five 150mm cannons they had just acquired.

It was unknown whether it was because the convoy was too large or for some other reason.

Along the way, they drove with their headlights on, swaggering on the road, and did not encounter a single ambush.

Lin Fan ordered all the artillery to hide at the foot of Xiaoshan.

He himself took twenty empty vehicles to Xiaoshan Fort.

Seeing him arrive, Xu Kang's eyes clearly showed a relieved expression.

"How is it?" Xu Kang asked.

"We removed four 150mm cannons from Junshan and Longgang Forts.

"In addition, we dragged back several cannon barrels.

"The bases were all destroyed, and the scrap iron that could be moved was also on the vehicle.

"The spare parts and shells in the warehouse are all loaded on our vehicle.

"The officers and soldiers of the two forts have gone to Huangtiangang on their own."

Commander Xu Kang looked at Lin Fan: "I have already ordered Xiaoshan and Xishan to transfer the 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

"In addition, all four 150mm cannons imported from Germany have been transferred to Xishan.

"I have also ordered them to dismantle the cannons.

"They are dismantling them nervously.

"You can now go to Xishan and transport these cannons out.

"But from now on, Xishan Fort only has those old, immovable large-caliber fortress guns left.

"I still need these cannons to fight the Japanese soldiers and cannot let you blow them up now.

"If I want to blow them up, my own people will blow them up."

Lin Fan nodded: "Okay! I will only take what can be dismantled.

"Are the 150mm cannons on Xiaoshan left for the Japanese soldiers?"

Xu Kang said coldly: "I want to leave them to fight the Japanese soldiers. If these cannons are all dismantled, how can we fight?"

Lin Fan said: "Commander Liu has ordered a retreat at four o'clock in the morning. You can retreat now."

"No, we will fight to the last moment."

Lin Fan thought for a while: "How about this, there is an open space outside Xiaoshan, which is suitable for an artillery position.

"I will set up the twelve Type 96 150mm heavy guns that I captured a few days ago.

"If you want to hit any place, just order me to hit it.

"Let us take away the four German-imported cannons on Xiaoshan!"

"Okay! In that case, I will dismantle all the cannons that can be dismantled tonight on Dongshan, Huangshan, and Eshan.

"But can you transport them all away?"

Lin Fan said embarrassedly: "We need to increase the number of vehicles."

"Our fortress has vehicles, but it is not easy to send drivers, because our fort can directly retreat across the Yangtze River from the pier.

"This road is much safer.

"Following your team, no one knows if they can survive."

Lin Fan laughed: "Understood! Understood!

"Our Special Company has many experienced drivers. Even if we have three hundred more vehicles, we can still drive them away."

Commander Xu Kang also laughed: "Dream on! At most, there may only be thirty to fifty vehicles.

"Go to the various forts to collect them yourself!

"When necessary, you know what to do!"

Commander Xu Kang suddenly made a meaningful expression.

"I don't understand? What do you mean by smiling like that?"

"You don't have to worry about Xiaoshan Fort. I will send someone to load all the equipment that we can't take onto the vehicles and send them to your temporary artillery position."

Lin Fan gave Commander Xu Kang a serious salute: "See you later!"

After speaking, he strode out.

Coming to the foot of Xiaoshan, he shouted loudly: "Feng Junya!"

"Here!"

"Order: The entire heavy artillery squad, advance one thousand meters, establish an artillery position in the open space in front of the grassland where our comrades sacrificed.

"Deploy all twelve Type 96 heavy guns."

"Which direction do we fire?" Feng Junya asked loudly.

Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Six facing west, three facing south, and three facing east.

"In addition, prepare positions for eight more 150mm cannons."

"Yes! Six facing west, three facing south, three facing east, and leave eight more cannon pre-set positions." Feng Junya repeated.

"Carry out the order!

"The guard squad will follow and must protect the heavy artillery squad well."

"Yes!" Yang Daren responded loudly.

Lin Fan continued to shout: "Squad Six goes to Dongshan, Squad Five goes to Huangshan, Squad Four goes to Eshan. Squad Three sets up a defense at the heavy artillery position.

"Squad One and Squad Two follow me to Xishan.

"Remember two points:

"First, be sure to meet at the heavy artillery position before six o'clock in the morning.

"Second, when necessary! You know what to do!

"All teams! Depart!"

Several squad leaders did not understand the meaning of "When necessary! You know what to do!" at all.

Chen Sichuan was in the same vehicle as Lin Fan, and he asked: "Company Commander! When necessary! What do you mean by 'You know what to do!'?"

Lin Fan said with a mysterious expression: "You will know when the time comes!"

When their team arrived at Xishan, they entered the interior of the fort.

Only then did they discover that the preparations that Commander Xu Kang had said had not even started yet.

Lin Fan's expression was not very good.

When Fort Commander Fei Cai saw Lin Fan's team arrive, he said directly: "Please go back! As long as I am here, you will not be able to take away a single cannon or a single shell."

"Why?" Liu Lao Pao asked immediately, anxiously.

"I cannot watch the old commander make a mistake and give such important weapons to people of unknown identity without asking for instructions." Fei Cai looked at them coldly.

Liu Lao Pao said loudly: "Didn't you see us shoot down so many planes a few days ago?

"Didn't you see us sink the Japanese warship?"

What Liu Lao Pao said were all things that could be observed at Xishan Fort, and they were all the achievements of the Special Company.

"So what? Anyway, I cannot let you dismantle the country's important military equipment." Fei Cai insisted.

Lin Fan raised his hand and stopped Liu Lao Pao and Chen Sichuan from speaking.

He asked: "The Japanese soldiers have already invaded the Jiangyin defense area, do you know that?"

Although Fei Cai did not speak, the officers and soldiers around him were nodding.

"Junshan and Longgang forts were surrounded by Japanese soldiers this afternoon, you also know that, right?" Lin Fan continued to ask.

The officers and soldiers on Xishan immediately had a feeling of grief.

"After Junshan and Longgang forts were occupied by the Japanese soldiers, who is using the cannons on the forts?"

Lin Fan asked loudly.

"It is the Japanese soldiers who are using them. They are turning the muzzles of the cannons around, using our own cannons, using our positions, and using our shells to attack our officers and soldiers." Lin Fan answered loudly.

He saw that the officers and soldiers around Fei Cai, who had also stopped them from entering the fort just now, all lowered their heads.

They slowly retreated.

Only Fei Cai was still sneering: "So what? We are carrying out the orders of our superiors?"

Lin Fan sneered: "Who is your superior?"

"Commander Xu!" Fei Cai answered immediately.

"Then why are you not carrying out Commander Xu's orders?" Lin Fan asked.

"Because Commander Xu is issuing a chaotic order. When a general is abroad, he may not accept the orders of his ruler!" Fei Cai defended himself.

Lin Fan sneered: "Do you know what happened at the Jiangyin Defense Command yesterday?"

"What happened?" Fei Cai asked with a sneer.

"Quan Yutang, the director of the Jiangyin Defense Command's Military Statistics Bureau, was colluding with the Japanese soldiers.

"I executed him on the spot!

"Now I announce: Fei Cai, the commander of the Xishan Fort of the Jiangyin Fortress, is deliberately disobeying military orders.

"He intends to preserve all the cannons on the fort and dedicate them to the Japanese soldiers.

"I represent the fortress command and the commander of the Jiangyin Defense Area in executing military law."

When Lin Fan spoke, Fei Cai's expression finally changed. His sneer had disappeared without a trace.

All that was left was a look of panic.

Fei Cai said sternly in horror: "How dare you? I am a major general and regimental commander of the National Army, and you are just a lieutenant company commander.

"How dare you!"

Lin Fan drew his gun, pulled the trigger, and put the gun back in its holster. The whole movement was as smooth as flowing water.

The officers and soldiers on Xishan Fort were about to take action, but they did not know what they should do.

The soldiers of a squad behind Chen Sichuan had already rushed in, with the dark muzzles of their guns pointing at the officers and soldiers of Xishan Fort.

Lin Fan waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to lower their guns, and said to these officers and soldiers: "The Japanese soldiers have already reached our doorstep.

"Commander Liu Xing has also issued a retreat order.

"Commander Xu Kang ordered the fort to stand firm on the spot and escort the retreating troops.

"Xishan Fort is one of the most important forts in the entire Jiangyin Fortress.

"Here, there are the latest imported four 88mm German-made anti-aircraft guns.

"Four German-made latest-style 150mm cannons.

"At the same time, it is equipped with complete ammunition, observation, and communication equipment.

"The fortress can no longer take these things away.

"If you hand them over to our Special Company, we can at least take them back to Nanjing and continue to fight the Japanese soldiers.

"It is better than what this traitor said, leaving them here for the Japanese soldiers to use against us!

"Even if you blow up these cannons in the end,

"Aren't you heartbroken that the weapons that the National Army spent so much money importing are destroyed like this?"

An officer said in a low voice: "Who knows if you can break through."

Lin Fan pointed to this officer and said loudly: "You, yes you, say what you just said out loud."

The officer straightened his neck and said loudly: "Who knows if you can break through with these cannons?"

Lin Fan laughed: "I like people who tell the truth like this.

"No one can know what will happen tomorrow in advance.

"But what has already happened can roughly explain some problems.

"Just now, what happened tonight.

"Tonight, we set off from Jiangyin City, left the city from the east gate, and raided the Japanese soldiers in Xiagang Town, Wangjia Village, and Liujia Village.

"Then we went directly to Junshan and Longgang forts to dismantle and bring back five 150mm cannons.

"Three 240mm cannon barrels, five 340mm cannon barrels.

"These cannons are too big to move.

"We can only take off the cannon barrels and blow up the cannon bases.

"All the scrap iron has been pulled back, and the vehicles loaded with these supplies are parked at the foot of Xiaoshan Fort."

A soldier asked: "What about the officers and soldiers of the forts?"

"The officers and soldiers of Junshan and Longgang forts are expanding towards Huangtiangang from another small road to cross the river.

"We are a convoy and can only walk on the main road."

The officer who had spoken earlier finally said: "I will trust you for the time being!"

Lin Fan continued: "All the forts will be heavily bombed by Japanese cannons during the day.

"We cannot transport the cannons out of the forts during the day.

"There is not much time left, and we need everyone's help.

"These cannons are yours, and you are the most familiar with them.

"I hope everyone will work together to move these cannons to our assembly point as soon as possible.

"In addition, you can take away any weapons, equipment, and equipment that you can take away.

"Try to load the supplies that you cannot take away onto the vehicles.

"We must not leave a single screw for the Japanese soldiers."

"My name is Hui Jianming, the deputy commander of the fort." The young officer who had spoken earlier extended his hand.

Lin Fan smiled: "Our time is short, we have to hurry."

"Let's all move! First, change the anti-aircraft guns to a mobile state." Hui Jianming said loudly.

Lin Fan stopped him: "My people will take care of the anti-aircraft guns. We also have one of these cannons.

"Your people will focus on getting those four 150mm cannons.

"Try to dig out all the accessories."

"Okay!" Hui Jianming said.

"In addition, send someone to open the ammunition. Let my people start loading the vehicles!"

"Okay!"

Seeing the soldiers of the Special Company quickly changing the 88mm anti-aircraft guns from the firing state to the marching state in less than five minutes,

Hui Jianming asked in disbelief: "How did you do this?"
