After Sangou and Xiucai discussed the coping strategy, they immediately began to contact the Eighth Company, asking them to send several groups of people to guard the riverside day and night.

Do not open sentry, all dark sentry, keep the contact of the secret sentry observer, and the communication with the battalion headquarters unobstructed, and be ready to attack the enemy at any time.

At the same time, two communications corps were also dispatched, each along the upper and lower reaches of the Gan River, to liaise with the fraternal troops, establish a liaison relationship, maintain mutual communication, advance and retreat together, and fight against the Japanese army together.

Then Sangou personally called the head of the regiment and reported the basic situation to Liu Guangyu, and the head of Liu also agreed with Sangou's next move, so as to respond to all changes and change to change.

……

After nightfall, the three battalions were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it looked as if everything was fine on the outside, and there were still no people in sight on the position, but the secret sentry and observer hands on the bank of the river were always there, and the guards were changed regularly.

Finally, at the height of the night, the Japanese troops on the other side of the river began to sneak into the water again, and this time they found a batch of boats, all of which were full of devils, immediately.

On the side of the secret sentinels and observers of the three battalions, the information had already been quickly conveyed to the battalion headquarters, and the three dogs jumped up on the marching bed and immediately ordered the troops to proceed according to the predetermined plan.

In order not to make a sound, the Japanese troops crossing the river turned off their motors and rowed with oars, which was really difficult for them.

When the Japanese ferryboat rowed to the middle of the river with a black light, there was a "snap", and the observation hand of the third battalion launched a red signal flare into the sky.

The mortar that was set up to shoot at Zhu Yuan immediately fired a few flares, and the magnesium powder exploded in the dark night, illuminating the earth as if it were day.

Drawn by a small parachute, the flares descended slowly, hanging in the sky like huge light bulbs, illuminating the Japanese ships and personnel in the middle of the river with nowhere to hide.

When the Japanese saw that the matter was lost, the motorboats and assault boats immediately started their motors and drove at full power, trying to rush to the other side of the river in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, the mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets did not give them this opportunity.

The mortar shells fell in the river, blowing up columns of water, and as soon as they hit the boat, they blew the ferry to pieces, and the people on board overturned in the river.

And the heavy machine gun bullets, in the dark night, like shining molten steel, pierced the night sky, with terrifying screams, the sound of high-speed friction of the air, straight to the Japanese ferry in the middle of the river.

It was the same massacre as during the day, carried out in the middle of the river, the devils had nowhere to escape, they fell into the water one after another, that is, they fell into the water, and the guns and cannons did not let them go, and the dense bullets hit the river like rain.

However, in the night, even with such a dense gun, it still caused a Japanese motorboat to rush to the north shore, and the devils on the boat jumped into the shallow water one after another, and ran desperately to the shore with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

In the water, there is almost no place to hide, hiding in the water, either drowned and suffocated, or killed by guns, at this time must quickly pass through the dangerous tidal flats, rush to the shore and lie down, it is possible to pick up a life.

Facing the bullets on the tidal flats, these devils desperately rushed upward, except for a few who were killed on the tidal flats, most of the rest of the devils successfully rushed across the tidal flats, rushed to the shore and hid under the shore wall, temporarily dodging the bullet rain.

The Japanese captain Sakamoto Nakasa failed to face the sneak attack, and as a result, the infantry of the squad died tragically in the river, and he couldn't help but gasp, but fortunately a motorboat had already docked.

It's just that the number of troops is too small, that is, more than 20 people, and it is hoped that they can establish a bridgehead on the shore to protect the subsequent Japanese landing.

But now the problem is that there are no ships to transport the second group of people, and even if there is, they dare not transport them now, and when they reach the middle of the river, they may be beaten by the hateful Chongqing army again.

Now there is still a motorboat parked on the other side of the shore, but this motorboat does not dare to move now, if it returns, it is estimated that it will be overturned in the river, it is better to move first, no one will hit it.

"Grenadiers, up."

The commander of the eighth company gave instructions to each platoon, and the grenadier groups of each squad were concentrated, and the nine grenadiers, under the cover of machine guns, approached the bank of the river and began to fire grenade grenades at the devils hiding on the bank wall.

A burst of grenadiers came down, and the devils hiding on the shore wall were blown over several at once, and the rest were so frightened that they quickly fled to both sides.

So, throughout the middle of the night, it was Balian and these devils playing a game of life and death of cat and mouse, and if they were caught, the mouse died, and if they didn't catch it, they could live a little longer.

Sakamoto Nakasa listened to the sporadic gunfire on the other side of the river, it was the Chongqing army searching for the soldiers he had worked so hard to transport, the gunfire became more and more sparse, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

Knowing that after the last shot, there was no gunfire for a long time, he sighed gloomily, the whole army was wiped out again, and this river had not yet passed, and so many imperial soldiers had been lost.

If you can pass, you have to kill all the Chongqing troops on the opposite side to relieve this evil breath. Sakamoto Nakasa scolded viciously.

It's only three things, but Sakamoto is still unwilling to fail like this, and he can't take the Chongqing army on the other side of the river without any way, it's too annoying, and he has to try again.

This time, he wanted to force the crossing, and before the forced crossing, he wanted to destroy all the mortars and heavy machine guns on the positions of the Chongqing army on the other side, and then used machine guns to suppress the enemy's firepower and escort the boats to force the crossing.

How to destroy? It was not enough to rely on aircraft to bomb alone, and although the next morning, Japanese planes bombed the positions of the 3rd Battalion in Takayama, but Sakamoto still borrowed four infantry guns from the artillery unit of the wing.

Taking advantage of the long-range range of infantry artillery, Sakamoto began to set up infantry artillery positions in places where the Chongqing Army's mortars could not reach them, and shelled the positions of the three battalions, mainly the mortar and heavy machine gun positions that were exposed yesterday.

Sangou and they had already guessed that after the second forced crossing of the Japanese army, they would definitely use heavy fire to bombard the positions of the three battalions, and the main targets were mortar and heavy machine gun positions.

When the Japanese planes were coming, they had already moved mortars and heavy machine guns to the bunkers, and when the Japanese planes bombed, everyone hid.

When the Japanese planes began to dive and reconnoitre, the medium-first anti-aircraft machine guns in the area of Mantou Mountain and Baimao Mountain in the high mountains began to shoot at the air, which frightened the diary Japanese planes to quickly pull up, turn around and run.

After the Japanese planes fled, the Japanese infantry artillery began another round of bombardment of the marked impact points, and then a large number of Japanese troops began to board the ships again and began to force the crossing.

This time, the Japanese renovated the ships, and almost all of them were covered with a steel roof to shield the defenders from bullets.

Seeing that the Japanese army put on the turtle shell again, Sangou couldn't help laughing, called the regiment headquarters, reported the matter, and hoped that the divisional artillery battalion in Baimaoshan could help a lot.
