War of Resistance

Chapter 1243 Familiar Recipes

Just after the engineers of the Japanese army had built the pontoon bridge, the forward of the infantry unit was just about to cross half of the bridge, and a sudden change happened!
"Hit! Hit me hard! Kill these damned Japanese beasts!" Wang Yongcheng roared, and fired the first shot first.

Under Wang Yongcheng's order, all the light and heavy weapons of the Cavalry Battalion of the First Guard Regiment opened fire immediately, launching a frantic attack on the Japanese troops on the pontoon bridge.

Obviously, these Japanese soldiers did not expect that there was such a powerful firepower hidden on the opposite side of them. For a while, people were turned on their backs, countless people fell into the water, and the surface of Xinqiang River was stained red by the devil's blood.

"Mortar, aim at me! Fire!!" Wang Yongcheng yelled at the officers and soldiers around the six mortars that were already ready to shoot.

That's right, this mortar is the ultimate weapon for the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion. It is the main force that blocks the temporary southward advance of the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion must rely on the time when the Japanese pontoon bridge breaks to complete their retreat!

For Wang Yongcheng, it is obviously unrealistic to launch a crazy attack on the Japanese army with the cavalry battalion as the main force. What about breaking?
Therefore, the purpose of Wang Yongcheng here is to give the Japanese army a head-on blow, and then quickly retreat—yes, he just ran away after fighting, and killed part of the Japanese army without paying any casualties. Such a beautiful thing, why not do it Woolen cloth?

After receiving Wang Yongcheng's order, these gunners took action one after another, putting the mortar shells that had been prepared into the mortar barrels. Is something going on?It was going on while the Japanese army was busy building the pontoon bridge.

"put!!"

As the platoon leader of the mortar support platoon gave an order, the artillerymen began to let go of the shells in their hands.

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

……

A round of shells flew across the sky, and then hit the pontoon bridge and the river next to the pontoon bridge fiercely. Finally, amidst the explosion, the pontoon bridge of the Japanese army was crumbling and finally crashed.

These Japanese soldiers on the bridge either fell into the water or died under the machine gun fire of the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion.

For these national army officers and soldiers, they will not show mercy. On the contrary, they pour more bullets on the heads of the Japanese army.

Under the baptism of mortars and light and heavy machine guns, the three pontoon bridges built by the Japanese army collapsed.

The moment the pontoon bridge collapsed, Wang Yongcheng immediately issued an order to retreat: "Retreat! Don't fight anymore! Remember to take the injured brother with you!!"

"Yes, sir!!"

Under Wang Yongcheng's order, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion retreated very quickly, almost stopping the fighting immediately, retreating when they should, without any attachment.

Fortunately, the Japanese army was suddenly attacked by such powerful firepower from the national army, and they were almost suppressed so that they could not even raise their heads, let alone fight back.

Ever since, in this way, the cavalry battalion retreated smoothly almost without any casualties.

On the other hand, on the Japanese side, the number of casualties was nearly 150, and even Major General Ushishima Man was almost shot in the head——

That's right, he almost got shot in the head, just look at his smoking hat, if he missed it a bit, the bullet would have hit him between the eyebrows!

"Bagaya deer! Damn the Chinese army, they have such powerful firepower, call the air force right away! Artillery force, give me a hard blast! Cover the engineering force to build a bridge!!" Ushijima drew his samurai sword, furious Underground ordered.

In fact, it's not because Major General Ushishima Man is so restless, but because he suffers too much in the same place!
Judging by the behavior of this army, it is definitely the army that attacked Yunkou Town by surprise, or it is so insidious and used to sneak attacks!Still a familiar formula!

"Hay!!" The officer next to Ushidoman took the order and left.

……

After about half an hour, the artillery unit of the Japanese army finally set up the artillery.

"Hush...fire!!"

With an order to fire, the flag in the hands of the commander of the Japanese artillery brigade quickly waved down, and the Japanese artillery soldiers took action one after another.

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

……

As the Japanese artillery fired, shells pierced the sky, and then smashed hard on the land across the river. The explosion was deafening, and then smoke and dust rolled up on the land opposite.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

……

The sound of explosions came from not far away, and a rare smile finally appeared on Niu Daoman's vicissitudes of face. He believed that the shelling would definitely bring a lot of losses to the national army.

"Yoshi, engineering unit, move forward!!" Ushishima Mitsu waved his right hand lightly.

Following Ushijima Mitsuru's order, the Japanese army's engineering troops launched operations again, and the movements were not usually fast.

Perhaps in Ushidoman's view, since the national army has used so much manpower and material resources to build the land behind the riverbed on the south bank, there is no reason for them to give up this position so easily.

In fact, according to Ushijima Man’s conjecture, the original actions of the National Army’s troops are indeed the same, but the time has passed. With the change of the defense plan of the National Army’s Ninth War Zone Guard Force, this place was originally organized by the Ninth War Zone. The position where the [-]st Battalion of the [-]st Guard Regiment was stationed became an abandoned position.

What is even more unexpected is that in order to make this position able to resist the Japanese forward troops crossing the river and facilitate the counterattack of the troops, Zhang Tianhai directly set up this position as a reverse slope, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack from the front. , Playing from behind is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

If you want to ask why Zhang Tianhai has such great confidence, isn't it because he recruited a large number of civilian husbands?In addition, the number of the first guard regiment and the third guard regiment was quite large, which gave Zhang Tianhai such confidence.

The bombardment lasted for 10 minutes, and the Japanese engineering troops finally completed the construction of the pontoon bridge.

It was only after the large Japanese troops drove over quickly that there were no enemies here, except for the shell craters they made themselves, there were only some bullet casings and shell casings left by the national army.

"Report to Your Excellency, General! Our enemy has already retreated!" A Japanese officer ran to Ushido Man and reported.
