Seeing that the Eighth Route Army troops were determined to fight the Japanese, the fisherman immediately said: "I am familiar with the river sections of more than 50 kilometers upstream and downstream of the Nanliu River."

"In addition to the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge, which is the only stone bridge connecting the north and south, about 11 kilometers upstream of the Nanliujiang River, there is a ferry called Fenglindu. The river water is shallow and you can build bridges and cross the river. However, this ferry has been abandoned for about a hundred years. Many ordinary people who are familiar with the Nanliujiang River do not know that there is this place."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong said to the fisherman, "Thank you for your advice from the fellow villager."

Then, Li Yunlong asked the fisherman to send back safely. After all, the Japanese on the north bank of the Nanliu River are still bombarding the South Bank with mortars from time to time.

No, the fishermen and fellow villagers were injured by the Japanese shelling.

After two new first regiment soldiers safely escorted the fishermen and fellow villagers away, Li Yunlong immediately said to the second battalion commander Chen Quan, which was eleven kilometers upstream of the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge on the map: "According to the fellow villagers, this Fenglin Duo, which has been abandoned for hundreds of years, may be the location where the Japanese smuggled through the bridge."

"This is just possible, the leader."

The second battalion commander Chen Quanning said in a voice: "But, if the fellow villagers are right, we can send troops to stare at Feng Lindu."

"If the Japanese are so desperate that they can smuggle from Fenglindu Bridge, then they will be dispatched to Fenglindu at that time."

Li Yunlong nodded when he heard this. This was a way to deal with it.

"You immediately notify Sun Desheng and send two cavalrymen to hike to Fenglindu to lurk. Once you find that the Japanese build a bridge from Fenglindu, you can report to me directly through the walkie-talkie."

Li Yunlong ordered Chen Quan.

"Yes, the leader."

Chen Quan, the commander of the second battalion of the New First Regiment, nodded and then immediately took action.

Soon, Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company of the New First Regiment, sent two cavalrymen to rush to Fenglindu by horses.

And time soon came to night.

At 8:30 pm!

Behind a hillside on the north bank of the silent Nanliujiang Ishiqiao, the 41st Infantry Regiment Commander Kaya Takai said to Chief of Staff Chiyojiro: "Kun Chiyo, you command the remaining troops of the corps, raise my flag, and continue to command artillery to attack the south bank here."

"Attracting the attention of the enemy commanders, I personally commanded the first and second infantry brigades of the corps, a total of more than 2,200 people rushed to Fenglindu, and built a floating bridge to smuggle the Nanliu River."

"Once I succeed, I will contact you directly via walkie-talkie!"

Seeing this, Chiyojiro, chief of staff of the 41st Infantry Regiment, persuaded him again: "Captain of the Regiment, I will command the first and second Infantry Regiment to Fenglindu!"

"No, Fenglindu has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and the ferry there is no sign at all. The enemy commander on the south bank will not know that we were smuggling from Fenglindu Bridge. Don't worry, Qianyejun, you can watch here."

Waving his hand, Huagu Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "I must personally command two brigades to smuggle from Fenglindu. When the smuggle is successful, I will directly kill Mingjia Town and seize Mingjia Town. At that time, we will siege and attack the enemy troops that occupied Mingjia Town."

Seeing this, Chiyojiro knew that Takai Hanaya had made a decision and could not change the decision to personally command the troops to attack Feng Lindu, so he said in a low voice: "Captain, be careful."

"Don't worry, Qianyejun!!!"

Hanaya Takai smiled, patted Chiyojiro on the shoulder, and said amid the sound of shelling and machine guns that sounded from time to time.

Seeing this, Chiyojiro stopped persuading him.

Immediately, Kazui Huagu personally commanded the first and second infantry brigades to which the 41st Infantry Regiment, a total of more than 2,200 Japanese soldiers. Taking advantage of the night to protect him, he marched through the mountains and forests about 100 meters away from the Nanliu River and rushed westward.

Under the cover of night, Li Yunlong, who was observing the mountains and forests near the south bank of the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge, did not see more than 2,000 Japanese marching westward.

At 9:46 pm, the first and second infantry brigades of the Huagu Xiaoyi command headquarters unit exceeded 2,000 Japanese, quietly arrived in the woods by the river at the north bank of Fenglindu, less than 30 meters away from the ferry.
