On a long pontoon bridge, many soldiers wearing life jackets are working nervously on the bridge deck, there are still many small boats around the bridge to carry materials back and forth, from time to time there are sporadic shells exploding on the river surface to set off waves all over the sky, Xi Lianglin, the commander of the Zhouqiao Battalion, is shouting in a hoarse voice.

"Brothers...... Get up to speed...... The military seat said that as long as the pontoon bridge is built on time, he will give everyone two days off, and this month will be paid! ”

Xi Lianglin's words aroused a burst of cheers from the soldiers of Zhouqiao Company, after all, no one would dislike having a lot of money these days, the military salary of the 202nd Army was already a lot, and being able to receive an extra month's military salary meant that his family's life could be more comfortable, and no one would refuse such a good thing.

A captain company commander with a cigarette in his mouth walked up to him and asked with a smile: "Battalion commander, aren't you coaxing us, can we really receive double pay this month?" ”

Xi Lianglin glared and scolded: "Li Dakuan, is your kid's skin itchy, when did Lao Tzu deceive his brothers." Besides, do I dare to joke about this kind of thing, otherwise I won't be able to come up with the money and the brothers will have to tear me up! ”

"That's just as well." Li Dakuan smiled and scattered a cigarette for him, and the two squatted on the side of the pontoon bridge and smoked clouds. Looking at the pontoon bridge that is still more than 200 meters to be completed, and then looking at the other side of the river that was bombarded into ruins by heavy artillery, Xi Lianglin's heart is full of longing, this time the Zhouqiao Battalion can be regarded as a great achievement, and when it wins the Hangzhou Military Seat, there will definitely be a series of rewards, and the Zhouqiao Battalion will definitely be indispensable.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of figures on the other side of the river, and his heart immediately chuckled, and he quickly stood up and shouted loudly: "There is a situation, hurry up and be on guard, prepare for battle!" ”

"Grass...... Isn't it, the little devil is still rushing over? Li Dakuan was also taken aback, and quickly took out the pistol on his body and lay on the bridge, but what he didn't understand was that there were hundreds of heavy artillery and countless heavy machine guns staring at the other side behind him, and the Japanese wouldn't be really stupid to come and die.

"Boom la la ......"

With his shout, there was a sudden sound of pulling the bolt on the pontoon, it was the soldiers in charge of the guard who were on emergency alert, and even the soldiers of the Funahashi Battalion, who were busy with it, stopped their work and began to remove the guns behind them.

Just as the soldiers began to be on alert, many dense figures began to appear one after another on the riverside, and they were walking towards the river.

"Listen to me...... Prepare to ...... immediately" Xi Lianglin shouted loudly, and the soldiers on the bridge also aimed their weapons at the other side of the river, and they would immediately open fire as soon as they waited for an order.

As the crowd got closer and closer, Xi Lianglin became more and more nervous, and when he saw the crowd slowly walking on the other side of the river, his eyelids suddenly turned violently, and a cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Because he saw clearly at this time, those dense figures were all ordinary people in civilian clothes.

"How did they get here?" Xi Lianglin was surprised and became more and more nervous at the same time, only to see him turn his head and whisper to someone to quickly report this matter to Su Jin, and then took a loudspeaker and tore open his hoarse voice and shouted: "Folks, we are fighting with the Japanese, this place is too dangerous, you should get out of here quickly, get out of here quickly!" ”

Although Xi Lianglin kept shouting, the people were still silent and no one made a sound, and it took a long time for a voice with a strange accent to shout: "The officer on the other side of the Zhina, please tell your supreme commander that there are a total of 2,000 Zhina people here, and if you continue to build the pontoon bridge, we will shoot them all in front of you." But if you destroy the pontoon bridge we'll let them go, and it should be easy for you to decide, we'll just give you two hours to think about it! ”

"Quick...... Report the situation here to the military seat immediately! Xi Lianglin's slightly panicked voice rang out.

In fact, there is no need for Xi Lianglin to report, the actions of the Japanese naturally cannot be concealed from Tong Xiangjin and Guan Yuan Taro, who have been firmly nailed to the observation posts on the north bank of the river, and when the Japanese pressed a large number of people to move towards the river, Su Jin had already received the report.

"Bang...... These brutes, they do this kind of thing! Li Wei slammed his fist on the table, making the teacups on the table rattle.

Although Su Jin on the side didn't speak, his face had already become iron-blue, although he had often seen the shamelessness of the Japanese from the film and television materials of later generations, but when it was his turn to experience it himself, he still felt a surge of anger surging from the bottom of his heart to his mind.

"Throne...... What should we do? Shall we stop the pontoon for a while? After calming down, Li Wei asked Su Jin with some worry.

Su Jin pondered for a moment and said resolutely, "Don't stop yet." ”

After finishing speaking, Su Jin called a staff officer, "Staff Officer Liao, record the telegram immediately." ”

"To the people of the whole country and the peace-loving governments of the world: Since the July 7 Incident, the Japanese have killed our people, occupied our land, seized our property, and tried to enslave 40,000 of our compatriots. I led tens of thousands of soldiers of the 202nd Army to fight all the way from Jiujiang to Zhejiang with a mortal heart, successively recovering Hengzhou, Jinhua and other important cities, and trying to liberate the whole province of Zhejiang, but when attacking Hangzhou, Gu Shoufu, commander of the 23rd Army of the Japanese army in China, actually threatened the officers and men of our army with the safety of the people of Hangzhou, and tried to make the soldiers withdraw from Hangzhou. I hereby swear that I and all the officers and men of the 202nd Army will never accept such a despicable threat, and solemnly warn the Japanese Government if Toshio Tani and the Japanese troops in Hangzhou do not release all the civilians along the river......"

"We will retaliate strongly against the Japanese mainland, and if something happens that the Japanese government does not want to see, we can only express our regret that you are the first to carry out this despicable ......."

Chairman Chiang put down the telegram, an angry look appeared on his face, and even with his city, he couldn't help but scold: "Niang Xipi, Japan is so despicable, it is simply an insult to the honor of a soldier to resort to such despicable means!" ”

Madame Jiang on the side also covered her mouth and cried out in surprise: "Darling, how is this possible, how can the Japanese also be a big country in Asia, how can they resort to such despicable means?" Also, who is this Gu Shoufu? ”

"Hmph...... The Japanese are this kind of virtue, which is not surprising, and Gu Shoufu is a butcher whose hands are stained with the blood of our Chinese people! Chairman Jiang said, his teeth gritting loudly. (To be continued.) )
