Chapter 197 The military commander sat on the sidelines and the 41st Infantry Regiment encountered artillery fire!

"The Japanese 36th Division and 41st Infantry Regiment commanded by Taro Nagata had their ground supply lines cut off. Next, the little Japanese felt very uncomfortable."

Dai Li nodded, even though he was not familiar with military command.

But judging from the map, Mingjia Town, a place where supplies from the rear of the Japanese army must pass through, was attacked and occupied. It must have been very uncomfortable for Taro Nagata.

"Send a report to the intelligence personnel lurking around the battlefield and ask them to keep an eye on Mingjia Town, Laoye Ridge, Jiangjun Ridge and Jinghai County."

Pointing to several locations on the map that were currently being fought, Dai Li said to Cao Hansheng, deputy director of his intelligence department: "If you have the latest situation, report it directly to me."

"Understood, boss."

Cao Hansheng nodded, and then said: "Boss, do you want to report this matter to the committee?".

"No need for now!"

Dai Li thought for a while and said: "The current battlefield situation, we still don't know the final time."

"Even if my military command ability is insignificant, I still understand that once the Japanese know that Mingjia Town has been attacked, they will definitely send troops south to counterattack and take back Mingjia Town. Next, there will be another battle. Let's sit down

Just watch!”

Seeing this, Cao Hansheng nodded and said, "Yes, boss."

At this time, direction to Mingjia Town!

After successfully ambushing the Japanese gas bomb transport convoy, Li Yunlong ordered the Second and Third Battalions to seize the opportunity to move the gas bombs carried by the Japanese convoy to a mountain col near Mingjia Town and hide them.

After the war is over, there will be time to ask the brigade or headquarters to send someone to deal with these gas bombs.

After all, he, Li Yunlong, has no way to directly detonate the gas bomb now!

"Captain."

After Li Yunlong finished handling the captured Japanese gas bombs and returned to the original Japanese left-behind squadron headquarters in Mingjia Town, a correspondent hurriedly walked up to him, stood at attention, saluted, handed a telegram to Li Yunlong, and said:

"The friendly 303rd Regiment sent an urgent message, the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment moved south."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was immediately surprised, then took the telegram and read it with serious eyes.

At this time, Shen Quan, commander of the second battalion of the New First Regiment, and Wang Huaibao, commander of the third battalion, were also following Li Yunlong. They all heard this and their eyes immediately became serious.

The 41st Infantry Regiment is the elite field unit of the Japanese!

Although both of them realized that Mingjia Town would soon be known to Taro Nagata, they would inevitably send troops south to counterattack.

But I didn't expect it would come so quickly.

Sure enough, when Li Yunlong handed the telegram to Wang Huaibao and Shen Quan for circulation and reading, both of them looked serious.

"Commander, the Japanese who are fighting back are not evil!"

Shen Quan, commander of the second battalion of the New 1st Regiment, said solemnly: "The 41st Infantry Regiment is the elite of the Japanese 3rd Brigade."

"This is a fully-equipped infantry regiment with more than 3,800 people! It has strong combat effectiveness and well-equipped weapons and equipment."

Wang Huaibao, commander of the third battalion of the New Regiment, also said with solemn eyes, "Commander, it seems that we will move north quickly and set up defenses along the south bank of the Nanliu River to stop the attack."

"It's a pity that the Nanliu River is not very wide, otherwise we would have been 100% able to stop the Japanese infantry regiment's southward counterattack."

Li Yunlong was confident and said: "Although the Nanliu River is not wide, it is at least a river, not narrower than the Xiushui River.".

"And the Nanliu River is deep. We blew up the stone bridge on the river. When the time comes, the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment, which is going south to counterattack, can only build a bridge to cross the river. Hehe, when the time comes, we will set up artillery on the south bank to bombard the river, and add machine guns With the firepower sweeping across the river, it shouldn’t be a problem to block the 41st Infantry Regiment’s cross-river attack.”

Hearing this, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao both looked at each other, which was true.

Especially, after the previous cooperation with the 303rd Regiment to fight against the Japanese, the 303rd Regiment gave them a new group with more than 3,000 pieces of weapons and equipment and a large amount of ghost bullets.

Now the new group has plenty of bullets in their hands.

According to the river, it should not be a problem to intercept the 41st Infantry Regiment across the Nanliu River and reach Mingjia Town.

Shen Quan, the second battalion commander of the New 1st Regiment, said: "Commander, we need to quickly go north to the Nanliu River to deploy defenses to stop the attack."

"Um!!!"

Li Yunlong nodded, stopped talking nonsense, and then said: "Leave a reinforced company of troops to garrison here in Mingjia Town."

"The rest of the troops should go north to the south bank of the Nanliu River at any time to set up defenses to block the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment. In terms of time, we have enough. By the time the 41st Infantry Regiment arrives on the north bank of the Nanliu River, it may already be 5:30 in the afternoon. ."

Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao nodded, this is true.

In terms of time, for the people who were not far from the Nanliu River, they could reach the north bank of the Nanliu River in half an hour's march.

Soon, a reinforced company was left to garrison in Mingjia Town.

Li Yunlong commanded most of the 2nd Battalion of the New 1st Regiment and all the 3rd Battalion immediately left Mingjia Town and marched northward.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the south bank of the Nanliu River. Immediately following Li Yunlong's order, they immediately built river defenses along the river.

Moreover, Li Yunlong did not blow up the stone bridge on the Nanliu River connecting the north and the south at the first time.

Instead, Li Yunlong planned to wait for the Japanese troops to reach the stone bridge, and then detonate the buried explosives to blow up the bridge to see if he could take away a wave of Japanese troops who walked on the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge.

However, this opportunity may not actually materialize.

After all, the little devil is not a fool.

But give it a try, at least there is a chance of taking away a wave of Japanese from the stone bridge!

At this time, the Japanese who had gathered outside Jinghai County to turn around and march southward were running wildly southward.

Time keeps passing.

The nearly 4,000 Japanese soldiers of the 41st Infantry Regiment, under the command of captain Xiaoi Hanatani, led the Japanese troops of the regiment to the north bank of the Nanliu River at around 5:41 pm. .

At this time, the sun was still shining brightly.

The sight was excellent. After arriving at the north bank of the Nanliu River, Hanatani Koi ordered the troops to stop advancing, and instead found a roadside mountain to climb up to observe the only stone bridge on the Nanliu River connecting the north and the south.

"Captain, there is no one on the south bank of Nanliu River. There should be no ambush."

The commander of the regiment's staff, Major Chiyajiro, who was beside Hanatani Takai, took a telescope and looked at various places on the south bank of the Nanliu River stone bridge, and then said in a solemn voice.

"I don't believe that the enemy commander who attacked Mingjia Town is a fool and does not know the importance of the Nanliu River five kilometers north of Mingjia Town. The enemy will not be so stupid that he will not judge that we have learned about Mingjia Town. After the situation, we will not send troops south to counterattack."

Hanatani Takai pointed to the stone bridge on the South River with solemn eyes and said: "If I attack the enemy commander in Mingjia Town, I will definitely command the main force to go north and set up defenses along the river to stop our counterattack."

"That's what the captain said."

After thinking about it, Chief of Staff Qianyejiro nodded and said.

"Order the artillerymen to use mortars to target all suspicious places on the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge and carry out shelling."

Hanatani Takai said, "I want to conduct artillery reconnaissance."

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!"

Before the commander of the unit's staff Qianyejiro could reply, a dense scream suddenly sounded from a forest on the south bank of the Nanliu River.

"Artillery attack, commander, take cover!"

Hearing the scream, which was caused by artillery shells passing through the air at high speed and the magic brake in the air, Senyajiro and another Japanese guard immediately threw the commander of the regiment, Koi Hanatani, under him and laid him down.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!!"

Soon, at least eight mortar shells hit the south bank of the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge near the north side of the stone bridge, and then exploded with a rumble.

Two of the shells hit the Japanese directly near the entrance to the north side of the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge, killing a large number of the Japanese.

"Start!"

Hanatani Takai pushed away Senyajiro and another Japanese guard who were jumping on him, then picked up his binoculars and looked in the direction of the shelling on the south bank.

"Order the artillery to counterattack and suppress the enemy's artillery fire!"

Hanatani Koi was very angry and ordered: "Order the vanguard to cross the river immediately through the stone bridge and annihilate the enemy infantry."

"Yes, Captain."

At this time, Regiment Chief of Staff Chiyajiro also saw a small group of enemy infantry firing near the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, and thought that the enemy might have just arrived at the Nanliu River.
