Chapter 198 Build a bridge and sneak across!

“Boom boom!!!”

The Japanese artillery quickly launched a counterattack and launched a rapid artillery bombardment at the roughly locked enemy artillery position on the south bank.

"Boooooooo!!!"

The Japanese artillery shells were quickly fired, and under the sunny sky, they hit a forest on the south bank like a parabola.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!"

The explosion exploded in the woods, but there was no chain explosion reaction caused by the explosion.

It is conceivable that it probably missed the enemy artillery position that was suddenly bombarded on the south bank.

However, the Japanese continued to bombard the approximate location of the artillery position of the new regiment on the south bank.

And soon, a Japs vanguard force ordered by Hanatani Takai, about a squadron of troops, carried Type 38 rifles and fired wildly at the grass and hillsides near the south bank of the stone bridge on the Nanliu River under heavy machine gun fire.

After being suppressed, he immediately rushed to the Nanliu River Stone Bridge.

"Da da da, da da da!!!"

The dense rain of heavy machine gun bullets directly hit all suspicious places on the south bank of the Nanliu River. The fire was splashing everywhere, and everyone could see it clearly in broad daylight.

"hiss!!!"

On a hillside less than 50 meters south of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, Li Yunlong was lying on his stomach with a telescope observing. Seeing the Japanese shooting and shelling the south bank so wildly, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"Damn, the little devil's firepower is so fierce!"

After taking a breath of cold air, Li Yunlong couldn't help but envy when he saw the fierce firepower poured out by the Japanese: "What a fucking waste."

"Captain, the little devil is on the stone bridge."

At this time, the guard Huzi who was protecting Li Yunlong pointed to the stone bridge on the South River and said loudly.

"Hey, you really sent troops on the stone bridge to cross the river. You are not afraid of me blowing up the bridge!"

Seeing the Japanese troops on the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge running towards the south bank under the cover of the heavy firepower from the north bank, Li Yunlong burst out laughing and said, "Order, detonate the bridge."

"yes."

After receiving the order, not one meter away from Li Yunlong, a soldier from the new regiment holding the detonator that detonated the explosive immediately pressed the detonation button heavily.

Soon, loud noises exploded on the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, and a stone bridge connecting the north and south of the Nanliu River collapsed.

More than a hundred Japanese who had already ran onto the stone bridge of the Nanliu River were blown to death and fell into the rushing water at the end of the Nanliu River.

"Hahaha, great!"

Li Yunlong burst out laughing when he saw Shi Qiaobi detonating an explosion and sending many Japanese soldiers flying into the dangerous Nanliu River.

"Captain, if you want to cross the river now, you have to swim across the river without building a bridge."

At this time, Shen Quan, the second battalion commander of the New Regiment, who rushed to Li Yunlong's side and quickly lay down, said with a smile.

"Don't be careless. Although the water in the Nanliu River is very fast now, it is not really so fast that a bridge cannot be built. Upstream and downstream, there must be sections where the river turns and relaxes. The Japanese army going south will definitely find it.

Where the upper and lower reaches are suitable for building bridges to cross the river, you and the third battalion commander will divide your troops to the east and west, and each will be responsible for patrolling and guarding the upper and lower reaches."

Li Yunlong gave instructions to Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan.

Seeing this, Shen Quan, the second battalion commander of the new regiment, nodded, his expression became serious, and said: "Understood, commander."

Now, it is not time to celebrate victory.

After all, the Nanliu River is not a big river like the Xiushui River, nor is it an insurmountable river.

Immediately, Shen Quan immediately went down and together with the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao, sent some cavalry to patrol along the upstream and downstream of the Nanliu River stone bridge to prevent the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment from finding places to build bridges upstream and downstream to cross the river.

At this time, they saw that the only stone bridge on the Nanliu River that could carry large troops was bombed. A squadron of Japanese soldiers who had already ran onto the stone bridge were bombed, and half of them fell into the rushing water at the end of the Nanliu River and died.

The commander of the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment, Koi Hanatani, looks very gloomy now.

"hateful!!!"

The old devil Hanatani Koi could only curse harshly.

"Captain, there are 116 imperial soldiers who ran up the stone bridge and those who were bombed and fell into the Nanliu River. In addition, the enemy suddenly shelled the north bank in the woods on the south bank just now, killing 19 of us. We The current loss is 135 people. There are 33 other injured."

At this time, Wing Chief of Staff Senyajiro reported the damage to Hanatani Takai and said.

Amidst the sound of gunfire and hearing this loss, Hanatani Xiaoi suddenly felt extremely depressed.

"Sure enough, the enemy commander who attacked Mingjia Town is not a fool."

Hanaya Xiaoi was also a little helpless and said: "Now, the enemy troops who attacked Mingjia Town have already moved north to the south bank of Nanliu River."

"The enemy has planted explosives under the stone bridge, and we are waiting for our people to get on the stone bridge and blow up the bridge."

The 41st Infantry Regiment Chief of Staff Qianyejiro nodded, and then said in a solemn voice: "Regiment Commander, now the Nanliu River Stone Bridge has been bombed.".

"In addition, the water in the Nanliu River is now very dangerous. For a while, we cannot wade across the river to attack. What's more, the enemy on the south bank only uses machine guns, which is enough firepower to block the river."

After a pause, Qianyejiro said helplessly, "Now, if we want to reach Mingjia Town, I'm afraid we have to think about how to cross the river first."

"Can the engineers build the bridge?"

Pointing to the surface of the Nanliu River below, Hanatani Xiaoi asked.

"In this case, Captain, the enemy cannot allow us to safely build a bridge here."

Qianyejiro shook his head and said: "Besides, it is unrealistic to blow up the bridge near the Nanliu River Stone Bridge."

"We can only send people up and down the Nanliu River Stone Bridge to see if they can find a suitable location for building a bridge."

Hearing this, Hanaya Xiaoi frowned.

"Then send people up and down the Nanliu River Stone Bridge to find a suitable section of the river for building a bridge!"

Hanatani Takai frowned and then said: "In addition, let the communications corps report the situation to General Taro Nagata and report the situation we encountered here in the Nanliu River."

"Yes, Captain."

Qianyejiro nodded, said, and then left.

Now, that's all that can be done.

Sure enough, after the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment on the north bank saw that the stone bridge was bombed, they sent people up and down the river to find a suitable section of the river for building a bridge. They were soon discovered by soldiers sent by Li Yunlong to patrol and guard along the river.

Soon, the soldiers who discovered it rushed back to Li Yunlong to report.

"Damn it, it really is like that!"

Li Yunlong laughed when he heard the report and said: "Build a bridge to sneak across the Nanliu River. This is the only way for the little devil to cross the river."

"Otherwise, with such a large force, how can we wade across the river without building a bridge? That's simply impossible!"

Wang Huaibao, commander of the third battalion on the side, also heard it at this time, nodded and said: "Commander, there must be river sections suitable for crossing the river upstream and downstream of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge.".

"We must also prepare for an ambush in advance!"

Li Yunlong nodded, thought for a while and said: "Let that guy Wang Chengzhu concentrate on carrying light mortars and be ready for maneuver."

"Once we discover that the Japanese are building a bridge to cross the river, wait until they build the bridge to the south bank and prepare to cross the pontoon bridge, and then launch an artillery bombardment. This will definitely give the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment Captain Hanagani Koi a surprise!"

Hearing this, the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao's eyes lit up and he said: "Commander, this is a good idea."

“Enough!!!”

Li Yunlong laughed loudly and said, "You don't want to see who I am?".

"I am Li Yunlong!"
