Chapter 478
Only the top direct troops of the Central Army will be treated like this. The Sharp Knife Battalion must first infiltrate the devil's position. Before taking action, Dayang encourages them.

Dayang quickly distributed them, and after 10 minutes, everyone was ready.

"Remember the mission. You are now the front line of our three armies. Soldiers kill the enemy and serve the country. It is an honorable responsibility. All of the Sharp Knife Battalion are ready to attack!"

Following his order, groups of soldiers carrying small wooden boats rushed towards the river bank with their guns on their backs in the Sharp Knife Camp, accompanied by more than 20 soldiers without guns on their backs.

These small boats are light fishing boats, not very big, six people can run on a wooden boat, and a total of fifty boats are ready to be launched among the reeds.A boat can carry a squad when squeezed together, and fifty fishing boats are enough to transport a battalion of troops at once.

According to the pre-designed plan, these fishing boats will smuggle across the [-]-meter-wide Xinqiang River, and come out in a diagonal line down the river, so that they can quickly sail to the opposite bank along the water.The choice of a [-]-meter-wide river surface is because the battle to cross the river always chooses shallow water and narrow places, so it is difficult for the devils to think about it.

Although there are not so many boats, this method is not suitable for three troops to cross the river. The army can only choose to build a pontoon bridge at a narrow place on the water surface. Attack, the natural resistance will be much lower.

In addition to assisting large troops to cross the river, the Sharp Knife Battalion can also be broken up into parts, taking advantage of the night to penetrate to the flank of the Temporary First Brigade in the direction of attack, and try to catch the resisting devils by surprise when the Temporary First Brigade takes the lead to launch an attack.

Watching the Sharp Knife Camp pass by, Li Chong had anticipation in his eyes, ready to wait for the news quietly.

After crossing the river, how the Sharp Knife Battalion will act according to the battle plan deployed by Li Chong depends on their adaptability.

Sitting in the position of deputy brigade commander, there are not many opportunities for him to do it himself, unless in a positional battle, the other troops in the whole brigade are dead, and it will be the turn of the first and second in command.

When the fishing boat was launched through the reeds, more than 20 accompanying soldiers who had never carried spears went directly into the water.

They are all Sanxiang soldiers with good water skills. These twenty or so people have bayonets stuck in their waists and a small leather bag tied to them, and they go straight into the water. Tie firmly around the waist.When the next plunge goes down, only a little bubble is left on the river surface to come up.

Before joining the army, these 20 Sanxiang children who entered the water were fishermen's children wandering on the big rivers.

An order, those who are familiar with water skills should go out, but there are many people who speak out. After Li Chong took seven years of experience in water skills as a standard, a brigade has a hundred people. From the hundred people, Li Chong selected according to combat experience. These veterans with many years of water skills and combat experience came out and added to the Sharp Knife Battalion.

During the entire late-night march, Li Chong was perfecting the guerrilla plan. These more than 20 veterans who were familiar with water were his temporary supplements. The function was to solve the possible problems in advance when the sharp knife camp smuggled across the [-]-meter river. Some devils are looking for sentries.

It is now the middle of May, the weather of Lixia, the sky will gradually reveal the morning light in the early five o'clock, and it is [-]:[-] when the sharp knife camp enters the water, which is when everyone is fast asleep, even the ghosts who watch the night will inevitably fall asleep. Sleepy.

The more than 20 soldiers who were diving were like otters. They would poke their heads out from under the water after a period of time.

A quarter of an hour later, these 20 or so soldiers poked their heads out on the opposite bank of the river [-] meters away. The [-]-meter-wide river was not the focus of defense for both sides. The devils only set up three observation posts on the river dam.

On weekdays, apart from firing empty guns across the river, the two sides have each guarded the opposite bank of the Xinqiang River since the last attack on Changsha, forming a stalemate.

Of course, as a proud unit of the 11th Army's combat order, these devils only see themselves attacking the soldiers of the Chongqing Army, and how dare the soldiers of the Chongqing Army attack themselves?

With this kind of thinking and fatigue in the middle of the night, when more than 20 Sanxiang men who were familiar with water skills quietly went ashore, the three guards erected on the river dam did not notice at all until the bayonets wiped off their necks!

"Jiandao Battalion launches into the water by boat!"

The battalion commander of the Sharp Knife Battalion issued an order. If there was no movement on the opposite bank of the river, it was a signal. If the people in front were exposed, the gunshots would have already rang out.

A wooden boat carried squads of officers and soldiers into the water. Taking advantage of the downward water, the fishing boats sailed to the other side of the Baimi River one by one. In order to avoid exposure, the Jiandao Battalion avoided the narrow river surface and started from the wide river surface. smuggling.

"The Sharp Knife Camp is complete!"

At 03:30, there was no gunfire on the other side of the river. On the dam, Li Chong looked at his wristwatch and said that there was no movement on the other side for half an hour, which meant that the Jiandao Battalion had arrived on the other side of the river.

Li Chong thought to himself that these devils were really careless, and only a few landmines planted on the river bank could serve as an early warning.

But having said that, the devil would not plant landmines on the river bank where he was active, and if he stepped on it by himself, he would be in bad luck.

What's more, these devils probably never thought that the national army on the other side would take the initiative to attack.

A pile of wooden boards and piles are stacked from the back to the river bank, preparing to build a pontoon bridge in the narrow part of the river;

Under the command of the artillery commander of the division, the artillery of the whole division pushed all the cannons of the 190th Division to the position. Covered with artillery fire to give cover to the bridge-laying troops.

Not only the artillery of the first brigade gathered here, but the two troops leading the charge of the 52nd Army and the 74th Army are also making similar preparations.

All preparations have been completed, and the army will attack as soon as four o'clock arrives!

The minutes passed slowly on the dial, the time was ticking, and when the hour hand pointed to four o'clock, several fires appeared out of thin air on the other side of the Xinqiang River, and the sound of gunfire and riots came across the Xinqiang River.

"Get ready, let go!"

With an order, one after another shells rushed into the night and smashed towards the surroundings of the fire.

With the sound of cannons, the bridge-laying troops began to attack the bridge-laying along the narrow river surface of Xinqiang River more than ten meters away from the explosion. "Da da da" the bunker that spewed out flames was destroyed, and the devil who woke up was blocked by the sharp knife camp in the dark as soon as he came out.

The pontoon bridge was erected, and the officers and soldiers of the first brigade quickly walked along the pontoon bridge to the other side of the river. In the devil stronghold closest to the Xinqiang River, many devils rushed towards the river bank with guns from the stronghold.

After the devils rushing towards the river bank rushed out for a while, they were suddenly hit by the raging firepower of the battalion of sharp knives interspersed everywhere.
When it turned from night to morning, on the front position of Xinqiang River where the Devils United was located, there was a remnant of gunpowder smoke, pits and blood stains on the position.

The three armies have all crossed the river along multiple pontoon bridges. Under the strong offensive, the devils' ten-kilometer positions along the Xinqiang River were all occupied by the Tenth Army, the 52nd Army, and the 74th Army. Compressed ten kilometers.
