Yu Changsheng was easy-going, without the domineering arrogance of a senior general, and the two sat down to talk deeply.

They talked about the defense of the Huai River defense line, and also analyzed the battle plan that the Japanese army might make next.

The two talked for more than two hours, and after some conversation, Yu Changsheng found that Li Hong, a young man, was an officer with a very strategic vision, and Li Hong's analysis of the overall situation of the battlefield was quite thorough, which was really rare in his life.

This Li Hong is not only a fierce general, but also a strategist who understands strategic analysis, which is Yu Changsheng's evaluation of Li Hong in his heart.

"Li Hong, before I met you, I just thought you were a fierce general who could fight, but I didn't expect you to be so strategic, with your wisdom and strategy, I'm afraid you won't lose to Chief Bai......"

"Commander Yu has won the award, how can I Li Hong, I just talk on paper, where do I dare to compare with Chief Bai." Li Hong shook his head and said modestly.

Yu Changsheng thought for a while, and said earnestly: "Li Hong, I dug you into the Third Group Army, not to let you be a good child, although you Li Hong let go of the fight with the little devils on the battlefield, and beat the prestige of our group army!" ”

"Commander Yu, this is what you said, in case I poke the basket, you have to carry it for me." What Li Hong wants is the other party's words, and with this sentence, he doesn't have to be afraid to fight.

"As long as you Li Hong wins the battle, the sky will fall, and I will stand up for you in Changsheng, but if you lose the battle, then you have to go to the military justice department and squat." Yu Changsheng's words don't sound like a joke.

"Yes, Commander Yu, I understand!"

Li Hong stood up and saluted, and then left Yu Changsheng's headquarters.

He drove his horse back to the security regiment defense area.

This trip was not in vain, and finally found a backer for himself in the fifth war zone.

……

Two days passed.

These days, the Fifth Theater has been busy with defensive deployment and troop deployment in the Xuzhou area to prepare for the next Battle of Xuzhou.

Li Hong's task was to block the Japanese troops crossing the river and buy enough time for the deployment of the theater.

Two days passed, and the 113th Division of the devil did not make any movement, and the security regiment and the little devil confronted each other peacefully for two days.

According to the scouts' reconnaissance, the little devil has not been idle in the past two days.

The enemy has been busy drawing tools to cross the river, and it seems that the enemy is determined to win the defense line on the north bank of the Huai River.

In the early morning, the fog fills the air.

A thick morning mist surrounded both sides of the Huai River, separated by a river, and it was impossible to see anything on the other side.

A devil major general stopped and stood on the south bank, looking around the Huai River, surrounded by fog and low visibility.

Seeing the fog on both sides of the strait, Major General Devil raised the corners of his mouth and showed a sly smile.

The fog outside is so big that it provides good cover.

"Yo Xi, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cross the river, security group, your time of death has arrived......"

The devil who spoke was Major General Kazuo Minami, commander of the 113th Division and the 103rd Brigade.

Two days ago, it was the troops of the southern Yifu who forcibly crossed the Huai River, and the troops suffered such a big defeat made him very angry and humiliated.

Not only that, the division commander Nakajima Nagao was at the division headquarters and reprimanded Kazuo Nanbu in front of various officers, making him unable to raise his head in shame.

A devil Dazuo strode up to the southern Kazuo and respectfully made a request: "General, please hand over the battle to our wing, I must take the position of the security regiment on the opposite side and be ashamed of our brigade!" ”

"Yaga!"

Nanfang Kazuo scolded his subordinates, and said angrily: "The last time you crossed the river, your wing lost nearly a thousand imperial soldiers, and you didn't even set foot on the position of the security regiment, isn't your wing still embarrassed?" ”

The devil officer bowed his head and insisted: "Please give our wing another chance, if my troops can't land on the north bank this time, I am willing to cut my stomach!" ”

The devil Dazuo is leading the army, strongly expressing his determination to win, the little devil has always been savage and refuses to admit defeat, the last time he lost so badly, how could they be willing to fail.

Nanbu Kazuo thought carefully for a while, nodded, and agreed to the request of the devil Dazuo.

"Yo Xi, Mishima-kun, it's good that you have such determination, there is a saying in China, shame and then courage, know the weak and try to be strong, I hope your wing can win back the honor of the brigade."

"Hayi!"

The captain of the Devil Wing, Mishima Langhei, nodded his head.

After receiving the battle order, he immediately went down to deploy, preparing to take advantage of the fog to cross the river and land.

Mishima Langhei and his subordinates discussed for more than ten minutes, and soon formulated a battle plan for landing on the north bank of the Huai River.

"I have already made a military order in front of the brigade commander, and our wing must successfully cross the river and take the position of the security regiment!"

"Hayi, you will win!!"

The two captains of the devils turned around, and then, they ran towards the shore with their troops.

Not long after, more than 2,000 little devils from two brigades gathered at the ferry port on the south bank.

In order to boost morale, Mishima Langhei personally led the combat troops across the river.

"Cross the river, cross the river, drip!"

When the devil soldiers heard the order, they put down all kinds of tools for crossing the river, and they carried all kinds of small arms and weapons on board.

On the shore, there were more than 100 large and small boats, as well as many bamboo and wooden platoons, and two enemy brigades crossed the river at the same time.

Because the fog obscures the view, which provides good cover for the enemy to cross the river,

Except for a few soldiers who fell into the river, the little devil did not suffer any casualties.

This time, the enemy landed smoothly from the south bank to the north bank, and all the devil soldiers carried weapons and ammunition and quickly jumped off the boat.

When Mishima Langhei stepped onto the river beach, a victor's smile inadvertently appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that it would be so easy to get to the North Shore, and this victory seemed a little too sudden.

In Mishima Langhei's view, Li Hong was boasted by the Chinese army as a god of war, but in fact, it was nothing more than that.

It's just that the security regiment is in danger to defend and occupies the terrain advantage, so they will lose the last attack.

"Signal Soldiers!"

A devil communication soldier ran in front of Mishima Langhei.

"Send a telegram to the brigade commander immediately, our wing has successfully landed on the north bank, and it won't be long before our wing can occupy the forward position of the security regiment."

Mishima Langhei was full of confidence, and after sending the telegram, he ordered the troops to attack.

"The 1st Brigade is the main attacker, the 2nd Brigade assists the attack from the flanks, and the Imperial Warriors, occupy the positions in front." Mishima Langhei drew his command knife and ordered the soldiers to attack.

The little devils of the two brigades scattered and attacked from the front and flanks respectively.

The devil soldiers did not shout when they attacked, they bent down, maintained the offensive tactical formation, and quietly surrounded the forward position of the security regiment.
