Chapter 200 The Sorrow of Feng Lindu (2)

Kazui Hanaya looked at the map and couldn't help but lit up.

If Chiyojiro is right, then the abandoned Fenglindu for hundreds of years is indeed a suitable place for them to cross the river.

"Fenglindu is eleven kilometers away from Nanliujiang Stone Bridge, and it is upstream."

Hanaya Takai said.

"It looks like a long distance, but with the strength of the Imperial Army soldiers, I went to Fenglindu North Ferry at night and secretly built a floating bridge. It is not a big problem, the corps leader."

Major Chiyojiro, chief of staff of the 41st Infantry Regiment, said.

"Too!!"

When Huagu Koi nodded when he heard this, Takai Kawa Koi was still very confident about the Japanese soldiers under his command.

"Then set up a floating bridge in Fenglin Dun and smuggle across the river."

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

"Let the artillery squadron's mortars continue to shell the area on the south bank of the stone bridge to attract the attention of the enemy. After successfully building the floating bridge in the Fenglindu direction, let two elite infantry brigades of the first and second infantry brigades cross the river."

After a pause, Kazui Kawa continued, "I personally commanded the rest of the wing and raised my flag on the north bank of the stone bridge of Nanliujiang to attract the attention of the enemy commanders on the south bank and cover the people running to build the bridge of Fenglin Du."

The chief of staff of the wing, Chiyojiro nodded and agreed: "The captain of the wing is wise."

"In addition, the team leader, the troops rushing to Fenglindu, should act again at night."

Hanagu Takai thought about it, nodded and said, "What Mr. Qianye is thinking about it."

"Then do it!"

Chiyojiro said heavily, "I will arrange it immediately, the captain of the regiment."

"Um!!!"

Hanaya Takai nodded and said.

Then, Chiyojiro immediately went down to make arrangements.

Kazui Hana walked out of the temporary command position, found a higher hillside and stood on it, raised her telescope and looked at the south bank of the Nanliujiang River.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!!!"

In less than half a minute, the artillery soldiers of the 41st Infantry Regiment used mortars and shot a large forest on the south bank of the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge.

The explosion of the flames soon exploded in a large forest on the south bank of the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge.

"Which enemy army was attacking Mingjia Town? Who was the enemy commander? Could it be another member of Xu Rui's 303rd Regiment?"

Kazui Huagu looked at the fire and smoke that exploded in a large forest on the south bank, and muttered in her heart.

At this time, on a hillside less than fifty meters away from the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, Li Yunlong, who was lying on the lying side, saw the Japanese on the north bank continuing to shell the south bank through the Nanliu River, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Damn it, the Japanese are not afraid of wasting shells."

Li Yunlong complained that the recent mortar shell just now landed less than 30 meters to the left of the hillside where Li Yunlong was lying.

Fortunately, the mortar shells fired by the Japanese on the North Bank sounded 60mm in diameter.

Otherwise, if it were a 120mm caliber heavy mortar, Li Yunlong might have been hit by fragments of the shells where he lay.

"Captain."

At this time, the second battalion commander Shen Quan rushed to Li Yunlong's location, and then squatted down to report: "The Japanese on the north bank continued to explore the location of the crossing of the river along the upstream and downstream, and our cavalry had already stared at it."

"Sun Desheng reports that he can keep an eye on the situation on the riverside on the north bank of the Japanese at any time."

Li Yunlong nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Let Sun Desheng not be careless and keep a blind eye to the devils on the North Bank."

"By the way, let the soldiers pay attention to the hidden danger. The Japanese bombardment looked aimless, but they were blown to the ground and they would be killed and injured when they approached the explosion site."

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

"Report to the commander of the regiment, call from the 303rd Regiment of the friendly army."

At this moment, a telegrapher reported to Li Yunlong and handed Li Yunlong the telegram.

Li Yunlong nodded, took the telegram and started reading.

But after reading it, my brows frowned.

After the second battalion commander Chen Quan received the telegram and read it.

Chen Quan said: "Captain, the second batch of Japanese poison gas bombs will arrive in Mingjia Town tomorrow morning."

"The only one strengthening company's troops left by our troops in Mingjia Town. The Japanese convoys transporting the second batch of poison gas bombs must be strengthened. At that time, they will directly use poison gas bombs to attack the remaining troops in Mingjia Town. There is a high possibility that Mingjia Town will be lost by then."

Li Yunlong nodded and said with a serious look: "The old devil, Taro Nagata, is indeed sinister and vicious."

"We intercepted the first batch of poison gas bombs, and now we have asked Yoshinan Shinozuka to support the second batch of poison gas bombs. It's so cruel."

Chen Quan, the commander of the second battalion of the New First Regiment, nodded and said with a serious look: "Captain, then we may need to deal with the 41st Infantry Regiment as soon as possible."

"It's not easy to solve!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "The comparison of troops between the two sides is two to one, the Japanese are two, and we are one."

"Fortunately, we blew up the Nanliu River Stone Bridge and blocked the Japanese on the north bank of the Nanliu River. Otherwise, we could not resist the Japanese attacks of an infantry corps with more than 2,000 troops alone. It would be a bit more difficult to solve the 41st Infantry Regiment. After all, the 41st Infantry Regiment is now on the north bank of the Nanliu River. If they can't get through, we can't get through either."

The second battalion commander Chen Quan said, "But now the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Japanese is also anxious. After all, we have cut off their logistics supply line."

"What's more, we are ready. The strengthening company that stays in Mingjia Town is actually ready to prevent viruses and guard Mingjia Town. Now, the 41st Infantry Regiment will definitely choose to cross the river and attack as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong smiled and said, "What do you think?"

“There are not many ideas.”

The second battalion commander Chen Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, what you said just now makes sense."

"We can only wait for the Japanese to set up a floating bridge, and the crossing forces arrive on the south bank and gather together before launching an ambush. This is the best way to annihilate the enemy."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately started to think about it.

"You're right."

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Based on the information we learned, the captain of the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Japanese, Kazuo Koi, is a brave man."

"It is impossible that the Japanese will stop on the north bank of the Nanliu River just because we exploded the Nanliu River."

Chen Quan nodded, this is nature.

With the current situation and the logistics supply line is cut off, Kawaya Takai has no reason to stop on the north bank of the Nanliu River, and will definitely try every means to cross the river.

"map!!!"

As he guessed out of thin air, Li Yunlong then asked the guard to take the map and spread it out, and looked at it on the spot.

"From this map we made ourselves, there are no suitable places for crossing the river in the length of more than ten or twenty kilometers upstream and downstream 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 Chen Quan: "The place where Xiaoyi of Huagu can build a bridge and smuggle through it now seems that there is no such place."

"It's hard to say, the leader."

The second battalion commander Chen Quan shook his head and said, "There is no mark on the map, but there are definitely places suitable for crossing the river and building bridges in the upper and lower reaches of the Nanliu River."

"After all, Nanliu River is not as big as the Xiushui River, and it is impossible to build bridges. Nanliu River has a section that can build a pontoon bridge, but it is not on the map."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong began to think silently.

"Chenquan, I'll send someone to look for it and see if I can find a fellow villager who is familiar with the Nanliujiang River Basin nearby."

Li Yunlong said to the second battalion commander Chen Quan: "Among fellow villagers who are familiar with Nanliujiang, they should know where to build bridges and pontoon bridges and cross the river."

"It is impossible to have such a river, and it is impossible to have a place suitable for crossing rivers and building bridges."

The second battalion commander Chen Quan nodded and immediately said: "I will send someone to look for it immediately, there should be no problem."

"Um!!"

Li Yunlong nodded.

Chen Quan immediately left with his waist and sent someone to find fellow villagers who were familiar with the Nanliujiang River Basin nearby.

With the Eighth Route Army's reputation as strict military discipline and unviolent, Chen Quan sent soldiers nearby to look for fellow villagers and really brought back a fisherman who was familiar with the Nanliujiang River Basin.

Of course, it had been about an hour and a half when I brought this fisherman to Li Yunlong.

By this time, it was almost past 7:30 pm.

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

The fisherman was surprised when he saw Li Yunlong for the first time.

"I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Hello, fellow villager!"

Seeing this fisherman fellow brought back by the soldiers, Li Yunlong shook hands and said, "Our new regiment is fighting with the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Aggression across Liujiang, Henan, with nearly 4,000 Japanese."

"Nanliujiang stone bridge has been blown up now, so you need to find a fellow villager who is familiar with Nanliujiang to ask if there are any places suitable for building bridges and crossing the river in the upper and lower reaches of Nanliujiang?"
