Sir, the bamboo rafts are ready, there are more than 270 in total, and they can carry 1,000 to 1,100 people at a time. ”

"1,000 people? How is it so little? Yang Wenjin couldn't help frowning, "There are quite a few defenders on the other side, and 1,000 people are probably also effective." ”

"Sir, there is no way about this, the bamboo raft is not a boatman, it can only carry four people at a time, and if it is more, it may sink.

And the time is too rushed, we can only rush to make so much, and the quality is uneven, but fortunately the river is not wide, it should not be a big problem. ”

"Boan, what now? Are we going to cross the river tonight? Seeing that he could only send so many people over at one time, Yang Wenjing was also a little unconfident.

"It has to be tonight. The Japanese army is already speeding up its retreat, and if we can't cross the Luojiang River tonight, we won't think about it tomorrow during the day, let alone have a chance. Leng Jie said, "Choose the death squad and find a way to tear a hole in the Japanese defense line."

We have artillery cover, and we should be able to cross it, but the casualties are estimated to be quite large. ”

"Casualties are secondary, as long as the Japanese army can be blocked on the south bank of the Miluo River, it is nothing to pay a few casualties." Yang Wenjin said.

"The 99th Division has also arrived, let's discuss it with the 19th and 99th Divisions, each of them is responsible for a section, even if it is swimming, it must swim over!"

"In tonight's battle to cross the river, our 40th Division is the main attack, because the battle line is not very long. You two divisions, take one division and our 40th division to attack from the front to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and the other division to find a way to cross the Luo River from upstream. Leng Jie said.

"Let's go upstream." Jiang Minting, commander of the 99th Division next to him, said.

Obviously, the danger of roundabout combat is less, and Jiang Minting wants to choose this.

"Senior Jiang, are you a teacher? There is still a Japanese army upstream, if you can't even defeat that Japanese army, what kind of roundabout? Li Shuzheng next to him questioned.

"Chief of Staff Li, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Minting's face was unhappy.

"It's not interesting, I just think that your division can't complete the roundabout task." Li Shuzheng did not hide his disdain for the 99th Division in the slightest.

This is not a miscellaneous card for the lineage, after all, the 99th Division can be regarded as a civil engineering department, but it is too much water to fight.

One division surrounded more than 1,000 devils, and the devils successfully broke through.

"Are you looking down on us as non-descendants?" Jiang Minting was a little angry.

"Commander Jiang, when a soldier wants to be respected, he has to take real skills. What did your teacher do before, do you need me to say it to your face? If you're not ashamed, I can say it to your face! Leng Jie was a little unhappy.

"You... Since we can't look down on it, our 99th Division will not fight! ”

Jiang Minting is not young, but in front of Leng Jie, he is a little lacking in confidence.

"You dare! If you dare to escape, I dare to shoot you now! Leng Jie pulled out his gun, loaded it, and pointed it at the other party.

Yang Wenjin and Tang Boyin next to him didn't expect Leng Jie to dare to pull out their guns, and they didn't react for a while.

Tang Boyin persuaded, "Deputy Division Commander Leng, stop your anger, Senior Commander Jiang is just angry!" ”

"Angry words, I don't think it's like angry words. No wonder the 99th Division has more than a thousand devils with good equipment, and the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked! Leng Jie sneered.

"The surname is cold, you are a no-eye officer!" Jiang Minting's beard trembled with anger, he had never been pointed at like this with a gun.

"Don't forget, I'm the commander. The order of the commander's department is to ask me to control the troops of the three divisions, and it seems that the battle will be fought later, and I feel the need to send the superintendent team to the 99th division. Yang Wenyu said lightly.

Even if Leng Jie did something inappropriate, at this time, Yang Wenjing would not accuse Leng Jie.

"Count you ruthless!"

Seeing that these two people were so faceless, Jiang Minting suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence.

In order to be on the safe side, Yang Wenying summoned Gao Kuiyuan, the deputy commander of the 99th Division, if Jiang Minting really picks a son, someone must temporarily stabilize the 99th Division.

Gao Kuiyuan is different from Jiang Minting, the former is from the 14th Division, and he is a proper descendant of the civil engineering department.

I believe that the other party will also be very interested in the position of division commander.

Of course, Yang Wenjin does not want to change players before the battle, because that will not have a good impact on Yang Wenjin.

Now that you've decided how to fight, it's time to act.

The first batch of death squads were also selected, with Wang Sen, deputy commander of the 118th Regiment, and more than 500 people were selected from the 40th and 99th Divisions.

"Brothers, on the other side of the river, the Japanese army attacking this time intends to run, and our task is to capture the Japanese positions on the opposite bank and intercept the Japanese troops south of the Miluo River.

Maybe we're all going to die!

People are inherently dead, and we, as soldiers, even if we die, must die on the way to attack. To put it mildly, if anyone dares to escape, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!

Let's go! ”

The position of captain of the death squad was requested by Wang Sen on his own initiative, and he had already put life and death aside from the battle of Songhu.

"Yes!"

Seeing that under the leadership of Wang Sen, the death squads came to their respective bamboo rafts and began to prepare.

"This Wang Sen is not bad, he is a good seedling!"

Yang Wenjing couldn't help but praise Wang Sen when he saw Wang Sen who gave an impassioned speech just now.

"It's really good, a veteran of the Tax Police Corps, who has experienced the Battle of Songhu." Leng Jie also nodded.

"There are still two minutes left, and it will be up to us to see if we can break through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop tonight!" Yang Wenjin looked at his watch and said.

"Absolutely!"

Two minutes later, as a signal flare sounded, the artillery of the 40th and 99th Divisions began to roar.

A large number of shells poured on the Japanese positions, and for a time there were flames.

Similarly, the Japanese army was not to be outdone, and the two sides directly launched an artillery battle, and without the intervention of aircraft, the two sides really relied on their own abilities.

。。。。。。

"Your Excellency, the people of China have begun to cross the river!"

"Yaga, give me a counterattack and destroy these Shina people!" Mino Iwasaki roared.

"Da Da Da!"

Fierce gunfire rang out on both sides of the river, and under the cover of their own firepower, the soldiers of the death squad on hundreds of bamboo rafts squatted on the bamboo rafts, staring at the opposite bank with dead eyes, while the people who supported the poles rowed the bamboo rafts to the opposite bank with all their might.

A large number of shells and bullets fell on the river, and from time to time a bamboo raft was hit, and a person on a bamboo raft was blown away.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the nearby bamboo raft flashed with fear in their eyes, but they quickly strengthened their confidence.

"Masa-kun Tsuji, there are too many bamboo rafts in China, the defense line is too long, and the river is narrow, so we can't effectively defend at all."

"Don't we still have a lot of gasoline? Pour them all into the river and set the whole river on fire, and I don't believe that the people can rush over! ”

Masanobu Tsuji said ruthlessly.

The Japanese army, who thought it was a good idea, immediately took action, pushed a large number of oil drums full of oil in front of the trenches, and then opened the openings and poured oil into the river.

For a time, the river was full of black oil, and as torches were thrown into the river, the entire river was lit near the side of the Japanese army, forming a seemingly insurmountable wall of fire!
