Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 200 The Death of Feng Lindu (2)

Looking at the map, Hanagu Xiaoyi couldn't help but see a bright light.

If what Qianye Jiro said is correct, then Fenglindu, which has been abandoned for hundreds of years, is indeed a suitable place for them to cross the river.

"Fenglindu is a full eleven kilometers away from Nanliu River Stone Bridge, and it's upstream."

Hanagu Xiaoyi said.

"It looks like a long distance, but with the foot strength of the soldiers of the imperial army, it is not a big problem to rush to the north ferry of Fenglindu at night to secretly build a pontoon bridge, Captain."

Chief of Staff of the 41st Infantry Regiment Major Chiya Jiro said.

"Too!!"

Hanagu Xiaoyi nodded upon hearing this, for Huagu Xiaoyi is still very confident in the devil soldiers under his command.

"Then build a pontoon bridge at Fenglindu and sneak across the river."

Pointing to the map, Hanagu Xiaoyi immediately said in a concentrated voice: "It's only past six o'clock in the afternoon, so we can do nothing."

"Let the mortars of the artillery squadron continue to bombard the south bank of the stone bridge to attract the attention of the enemy. After the pontoon bridge is successfully erected in the direction of Fenglindu, let the first and second infantry brigades go across the river. "

After a pause, Hanagu Xiaoyi continued, "I personally command the other troops of the regiment to raise my flag on the north bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge to attract the attention of the enemy commander on the south bank, and to cover the attack on Fenglin Ferry. The men and horses of the bridge move."

The chief of staff of the alliance, Jiro Qianye, nodded and agreed: "The alliance captain is wise."

"In addition, the captain, the troops attacking Fenglindu, it's best to act when it's dark."

Huagu Xiaoyi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Mr. Qianye is thinking about it.".

"Then do it!"

Qianye Jiro said solemnly, "I will arrange it immediately, Captain."

"Um!!!"

Hanagu Xiaoyi nodded and said.

Afterwards, Jiro Qianye immediately went down to make arrangements.

Huagu Xiaoyi walked out of the temporary command position, found a higher hillside and stood on it, raised the binoculars to look at the south bank of the Nanliu River.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

In less than half a minute, the artillery of the 41st Infantry Regiment used mortars to shell a large area of ​​woods on the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge.

The flames of the explosion quickly exploded in a large forest on the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge.

"Which enemy army is the enemy army that attacked Mingjia Town? Who is the enemy army commander? Could it be another part of Xu Rui's 303 regiment?"

Looking at the fire and gunpowder smoke exploding in a large forest on the south bank, Huagu Xiaoyi muttered in her heart.

At this time, on a hillside less than 50 meters away from the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, Li Yunlong, who was lying on his stomach, saw the devils on the north bank continue to bombard the south bank across the Nanliu River, and couldn't help curling his lips.

"Damn it, the little devil is not afraid of wasting shells."

Li Yunlong complained that the most recent mortar shell just landed less than 30 meters to the left of the hill where Li Yunlong was lying on his stomach.

Fortunately, the mortar shells fired by the devils on the north bank sounded like 60mm caliber.

Otherwise, if it was a heavy mortar with a caliber of 120 mm, the place where Li Yunlong was lying on his stomach might still be hit by fragments of shells.

"Captain."

At this time, Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, rushed to where Li Yunlong was, and then squatted down to report: "The devils on the north bank continued to explore the crossing point along the upstream and downstream, and our cavalry has been watching.".

"Sun Desheng reported that he can keep an eye on the situation by the river on the north bank of the little devil at any time."

Li Yunlong nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "Let Sun Desheng not be careless, and watch the devils on the north shore for me.".

"By the way, let the soldiers pay attention to concealment. The devil's shelling seems aimless, but if it lands and is bombed, it will also be killed or injured if it is close to the bombing point."

Shen Quan nodded, and said: "It has been passed that the soldiers should pay attention to avoiding artillery, don't worry, commander.".

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the 303rd regiment of the friendly army is calling."

At this moment, a telegraph operator reported to Li Yunlong and handed the telegram to Li Yunlong after speaking.

Li Yunlong nodded, took the telegram and read it.

But after reading it, his brows were tightly wrinkled.

After the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan received the telegram and read it.

Shen Quan said: "Leader, the second batch of poison gas bombs will arrive in Mingjia Town tomorrow morning, little devil."

"Our troops left behind in Mingjia Town only have one reinforced company. When the time comes, the Devils will transport the second batch of poison gas bombs. The convoy must be strengthened. Then they will directly attack the people left behind in Mingjia Town with gas bombs. There is a high possibility that the town will fall."

Li Yunlong nodded, and said solemnly, "Nagata Taro, this old devil, is indeed sinister and vicious.".

"The first batch of gas bombs was intercepted by us, and now we are asking Yoshinan Shinozuka for support for the second batch of gas bombs. It is really vicious."

Shen Quan, the second battalion commander of the new regiment, nodded, and said solemnly: "Regiment commander, then we may need to get rid of the 41st infantry regiment as soon as possible.".

"It's not easy to solve!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong shook his head, and said: "The ratio of troops between the two sides is two to one, the devils are two, and we are one.".

"Fortunately, we blew up the Nanliu River Stone Bridge and blocked the devils on the north bank of the Nanliu River. Otherwise, with our more than 2000 horses alone, we really couldn't stop the devils from an infantry regiment. We just want to get rid of the first The 41st Infantry Regiment is a bit more difficult, after all, the 41st Infantry Regiment is now on the north bank of the Nanliu River. If they can't get through, neither can we."

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan said, "But now the Devil's 41st Infantry Regiment is also in a hurry. After all, we have cut off their logistics supply line."

"What's more, we are well prepared. The reinforcement company staying in Mingjia Town is actually prepared for anti-virus. There is hope to defend Mingjia Town. Now, the 41st Infantry Regiment will definitely choose to cross the river as soon as possible to attack."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong smiled and said, "What do you think, kid?".

"Not many ideas."

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, smiled wryly and said: "Commander, what you said just now makes sense.".

"We can only wait for the devils to build the pontoon bridge. After the crossing troops arrive at the south bank and gather together, we can start an ambush. This is the best way to wipe out the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong pondered immediately.

"you are right."

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "According to the information we have learned, the captain of the Devil's 41st Infantry Regiment is called Huagu Xiaoyi, and this person acts boldly."

"It's impossible for this devil to stop at the north bank of Nanliu River just because we blew up the Nanliu River stone bridge."

Shen Quan nodded, it was natural.

Given the current situation, with the supply line cut off, Hanagu Xiaoyi has no reason to stop at the north bank of the Nanliu River, and will definitely try to cross the river.

"map!!!"

It was boring to guess out of thin air, Li Yunlong then asked the guards to take the map and spread it out, and looked at it on the spot.

"According to this map we made ourselves, there is no place suitable for crossing the Nanliu River in the length of more than 20 to [-] kilometers in the upper and lower reaches of the Nanliu River. The only stone bridge has been blown up by us."

Pointing to the map, Li Yunlong said to the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan: "It seems that there is no place where Huagu Xiaoyi can build a bridge to smuggle in.".

"It's hard to say, Captain."

Shen Quan, the second battalion commander, shook his head and said: "It seems that there are no marks on the map, but there must be places suitable for crossing the river and building bridges in the upper and lower reaches of the Nanliu River."

"After all, the Nanliu River is not as big as the Xiushui River, and it cannot be bridged. There is a section of the Nanliu River that can be bridged and floated, but it is not on the map."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong thought silently.

"Shen Quan, send someone to look for it, see if you can find a fellow from nearby who is familiar with the Nanliu River valley."

Li Yunlong said to the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan: "Among the villagers who are familiar with the Nanliu River, there should be places where bridges and pontoon bridges can be built to cross the river."

"It's impossible for such a river to have a place suitable for crossing the river and building bridges."

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan nodded, and immediately said: "I will send someone to look for it immediately, there should be no problem.".

"Um!!"

Li Yunlong nodded.

Immediately, Shen Quan bowed his back and left, and sent people to look for fellow villagers who were familiar with the Nanliu River valley.

Relying on the reputation of the Eighth Route Army's strict military discipline and Qiu Wuwu's crimes, the soldiers sent by Shen Quan to search for fellow villagers in the vicinity really brought back a fellow fisherman who was familiar with the Nanliu River Basin.

Of course, about an hour and a half had passed by the time I brought this fellow fisherman to Li Yunlong.

At this time, it was almost 07:30 in the afternoon.

"Are you the commander of the Eighth Route Army?"

Seeing Li Yunlong for the first time, the fisherman was immediately surprised.

"I'm Li Yunlong, head of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, hello fellow!"

Seeing this fellow fisherman brought back by the soldiers, Li Yunlong shook hands, and then said: "Our Xinyi Regiment is fighting against the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Little Devils across the Liujiang River in the South River. There are nearly 4000 devils at war."

"Now the Nanliu River stone bridge has been blown up, so I need to ask the fellow villagers who are familiar with the Nanliu River, is there any suitable place to build a bridge to cross the river in the upper and lower reaches of the Nanliu River?"

Seeing that it was the Eighth Route Army unit determined to fight devils, the fellow fisherman immediately said: "I am familiar with the section of the Nanliu River that is more than [-] kilometers upstream and downstream.".

"Except for the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, which is the only stone bridge connecting the north and the south, there is a ferry called Fenglindu about eleven kilometers upstream of the Nanliu River. The ferry has been abandoned for about a hundred years, and many ordinary people who are familiar with the Nanliu River do not know this place exists."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong said to the fellow fisherman, "Thank you for your information."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong ordered this fellow fisherman to be sent back safely. After all, the devils on the north bank of the Nanliu River were still shelling the south bank with mortars from time to time.

Could it be that the fellow fishermen were injured by the devil's shelling.

After the two new regiment soldiers safely escorted the fishermen away, Li Yunlong immediately pointed to Fenglindu, [-] kilometers upstream of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge on the map, and said to Shen Quan, the second battalion commander: "According to the villagers, this abandoned Fenglindu, which has been around for hundreds of years, may be the place where devils smuggled into and built bridges."

"It's just a possibility, Captain."

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan said in a condensed voice: "However, if the fellow is right, we can send troops to watch Feng Lindu."

"If the devil wants to smuggle across the bridge at Fenglindu, then he will send troops to Fenglindu at that time."

Li Yunlong nodded when he heard the words, this is a way to deal with it.

"You notify Sun Desheng immediately, and send two cavalrymen to covertly rush to Fenglindu to ambush. Once you find the devil building a bridge from Fenglindu, report to me directly through the walkie-talkie."

Li Yunlong gave orders to Shen Quan.

"Yes, Captain."

Shen Quan, the second battalion commander of the new regiment, nodded, and immediately took action.

Soon, Sun Desheng, the company commander of the new regiment of cavalry, sent two cavalry to hide and rush to Feng Lindu.

And the time soon came to night.

08:30 in the evening!
Behind a hillside on the north bank of the stone bridge on the quiet Nanliu River, Takai Hanaya, the captain of the 41st Infantry Regiment, said to Chief of Staff Jiro Chiya: "Mr. Qianye, you command the rest of the regiment, raise my flag, and continue to command the artillery here Bombard the South Bank."

"To attract the attention of the enemy commander, I personally commanded the First and Second Infantry Battalions of the Regiment, with a total of 2000 people killing Benfenglindu and setting up a pontoon bridge to sneak across the Nanliu River."

"Once successful, I will contact you directly through the walkie-talkie!"

Seeing this, Chiba Jiro, chief of staff of the 41st Infantry Regiment, persuaded again: "Regimental Captain, I will command the first and second infantry brigades to Fenglindu!".

"No, Fenglindu has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and the ferry there is no longer visible. The enemy commander on the south bank will not know that we sneaked across the bridge at Fenglindu. Don't worry, Lord Qianye, Here you watch."

Waving his hand, Huagu Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "I must personally command the two brigades to smuggle from Fenglindu. When the smuggling succeeds, we will go directly to Mingjia Town in a detour and capture Mingjia Town. At that time, we will counter the encirclement attack." Occupy the enemy army in Mingjia Town."

Seeing this, Qianye Jiro knew that Hanagu Xiaoyi had already made a decision, and it was impossible to change his decision to personally command the troops to attack Fenglindu, so he said in a concentrated voice: "Lieutenant Captain, pay attention to safety.".

"Don't worry, Qianye-kun!!!"

Takai Hanaya smiled, patted Senya Jiro on the shoulder, and said amid the occasional shelling screams and machine guns.

Seeing this, Jiro Qianye stopped trying to persuade him.

Immediately, Hanagu Xiaoyi personally commanded the No. 41 and No. 2000 Infantry Battalions belonging to the 100st Infantry Regiment, with a total of [-] or more than [-] devils. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they hurriedly marched through the mountains and forests about [-] meters away from the Nanliu River. Run westward.

Under the cover of night, Li Yunlong, who was secretly observing in the mountains near the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, did not see more than 2000 devils marching westward.

At 46:2000 p.m., more than 30 devils from the No. [-] and No. [-] Infantry Battalions of the Huagu Xiaoyi Command Post quietly rushed to the riverside forest at the ferry on the north bank of Fenglindu, less than [-] meters away from the ferry. .
