After listening to Serikawa Shu's explanation, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi's brows suddenly furrowed, and they were almost twisted together.

Therefore, he did not give any more orders for the mountain artillery wing to continue to use the artillery bombardment, otherwise, all the shells would be exhausted at this moment, and by the time the pontoon bridge was built, the logistical supplies had not yet kept up; At that time, without artillery support, they wanted to rush to the beach and land, and it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to successfully cross the Huai River.

The reason why the enemy has not made a move against them is not because they are frightened by their might, let alone because they are bombarded and have no power to fight back, but because they are waiting for a suitable opportunity.

It's just that when exactly it will be, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi doesn't know for the time being.

However, he was sure that the enemy would not wait until they had successfully built the pontoon bridge, otherwise they would not be able to stop the powerful firepower of their own side by then.

At this point, Akiyama was almost certain that the enemy would attack them before dark at most, because their pontoon bridge could be built before dark.

"Oda-kun!"

Yoshiyoshi Akiyama shouted at the chief of staff at his side, Oda Shinichi.

"Hay!"

Oda Shinichi bowed his head and bowed in response.

"Your quick power to the headquarters, ask for air force support again!"

"Hay!"

After Oda Shinichi responded, he turned and walked towards the communication radio.

……

"Boom-"

"Boom! ——”

About two hours later, nearly three-quarters of the three pontoon bridges built by the Seventh Wing of the Little Devils on the Huai River had been completed, and it would not be long before the pontoon bridges were not completely built, but because of the shallow water on the riverside, the Little Devils would already be able to launch a crossing campaign against them.

Therefore, Yang Yun was about to remind Zhang Shaofang, the commander of the 113th Division, that he could start the war, but at this time, from far to near in the sky, there was a sudden sound of engine roaring, and the sound was getting louder and louder as the distance was closer.

Everyone knew what this roaring sound meant, it was the Japanese bombers coming again.

It's just that in the face of the little devil's bomber, in addition to being angry, even if they are unwilling, they can only bury their heads in principle and dodge, allowing the little devil's bomber to pass over their heads and drop bombs one after another.

The officers and men of the 113th Division gritted their teeth with hatred and almost went crazy, but they knew that they could not do anything in the face of the bombardment of the little devils, so they just buried their anger deep in their hearts.

Watching the bombs continue to fall from the sky, and finally fall in their positions and explode, blowing up craters one after another, splashing patches of sand, gravel and soil, and even taking the lives of the officers and men of the 113th Division, those officers and soldiers who are still alive all closed their eyes.

Closing their eyes, it is not that they are afraid, let alone desperate, but that they will endure until the little devils have finished bombing, and they will carry out a devastating attack on the little devils who are building a pontoon bridge in the middle of the Huai River.

"Sir Zhang!"

Yang Yun shouted at Zhang Shaofang on the side.

"Hmm!"

Zhang Shaofang's frowning brows stretched slightly because he heard Yang Yun's voice.

"When the little devil bombards it, you can attack the little devils; Remember, first let the artillery brigade open fire, the target is not the little devils on the other side of the Huai River, nor the little devils in the fishing boats in the Huai River, but to bomb the pontoon bridges they have built. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Shaofang nodded heavily, and his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly bloomed at this moment.

Finally, after being suppressed for so long, I can finally launch an attack on the little devil.

In fact, even if Yang Yun didn't speak, he was going to ask Yang Yun.

Without any hesitation, he directly gave the order to open fire to Li Xuefang, the commander of the artillery brigade standing here.

Everyone in the 113th Division was full of suppressed anger, and the officers and men of the artillery brigade were also full of anger.

Fortunately, their artillery positions were set up in relatively hidden places, so they were not taken care of by the little devil air force, and naturally there were not much losses.

In fact, not only the artillery brigade, but also the entire 113th Division's losses were not very large, but because they were passively beaten, they were full of anger.

There was almost no hesitation, and when the order was given to open fire, the officers and men of the artillery brigade began to adjust the muzzles of the guns as soon as possible.

Since the muzzle of the cannon has already been aimed at the pontoon bridge built by the little devil, it only needs to be fine-tuned at this moment.

Several mountain guns were debugged almost at the same time, and they unanimously aimed their guns at the middle of the Huai River, and the little devils had already built most of the pontoon bridges.

Pry open a wooden box full of shells.

Because the shells were too heavy, it was very difficult for one person to hold them, and in order to be able to quickly hit the little devils and vent the irrepressible anger in their hearts, the officers and men of the artillery brigade moved the shells out of the wooden boxes in groups of two, and then carefully picked up the shells and stuffed them into the barrels.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

One after another, carrying a blazing tail flame, the anger of all the officers and men of the artillery brigade crossed a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and went straight to the pontoon bridge that the little devil was building in the middle of the Huai River.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom—"

These shells landed very accurately on the three pontoon bridges that had been built for most of the time, and directly destroyed the pontoon bridges that the little devils had worked so hard to build.

After this round of shelling, these objects such as wooden planks, wooden posts, and small rafts were scattered directly because they could no longer be fixed, and drifted downstream with the not-so-turbulent Huai River, which also included the corpses of countless little devils.

The shelling continued, and the shells continued to fall on the pontoon bridges that had been turned into broken bridges, but were not completely blown up, and completely blew them up.

There are also some shells because of deviations, not on the pontoon bridge, but on the Huai River water, splashing up a column of water several feet high, and at the same time swinging a huge wave, the sound is terrifying.

Countless little devils are staying on the pontoon bridge because they are building it.

As the shells fell, the pontoon bridge was blown up, and some little devils were directly killed on the spot, and the corpses fell into the Huai River together with wooden planks, wooden pillars and other objects, drifting with the current.

This scene is as terrifying as the destruction of the world.

The vast majority of the little devils were not killed on the spot, but in their miserable situation, it is better to be killed directly.

These little devils screamed and fluttered in horror in the water of the Huai River.

Not only must we resist the erosion of the icy river water that is close to freezing, but we must always be on guard against the cannonballs that may fall overhead at any time, resembling water dogs, and no longer have the majesty of the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire......
