Two more days passed.

On the evening of 10 June, the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy, which assembled more than 40 warships, 13 merchant ships, more than 80 motorboats, and hundreds of wooden boats, together with the Japanese Taiwan Soldier Botian Detachment, under the cover of more than 50 reconnaissance, combat, and bomber planes of the Third Flying Regiment of the Japanese Air Regiment, traveled up the river from Wuhu and began to launch a large-scale attack on Anqing.

The Japanese army's operation this time was so great that it could not be concealed at all, and the river was full of Chinese sentinels, so as soon as the Japanese army moved, Anqing had already received the news.

After receiving the news, Bai Fei immediately notified Yang Sen and Yang Hanzhong, the commander of the 134th Division stationed in Anqing, and ordered them to step up their defenses.

Li Hu, the leader of the special operations team, rubbed his hands beside him, and said excitedly: "Tuanzao, shouldn't we move?" ”

Bai Fei nodded and said, "How about the things I asked you to prepare?" ”

Li Hu said: "Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, tung oil... I've collected all the oil that burns violently, and now I have more than 300 barrels..."

"Excellent! You go and inform Li Shuyang and Wu Dazhong, let them get ready, and all except for the 3rd battalion will be dispatched tonight. ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the special combat team, the artillery battalion, and Li Shuyang's 2nd battalion were ready, and everyone rode in cars, pulling gasoline ammunition and other things, and headed east. At this time, it was getting late, and the Japanese reconnaissance plane had already returned home, so it was not afraid of being discovered.

When they arrived at Zongyang Laozhou Town, everyone got off the bus to prepare for the war. Laozhou Town is an ambush site that Bai Fei has long chosen, because the river here is extremely narrow, and it is only 700 meters away, which is very suitable for ambushes.

After some preparations, Wu Dazhong, the commander of the artillery battalion, ran over and said: "Tuanzao, according to your orders, all the 107 rocket launchers have been towed to the rear of the car, and now the mobility has been greatly enhanced. ”

Bai Fei nodded and admonished: "There are a lot of Japanese warships coming this time, you must be careful, don't let the devil's naval guns bite you before." ”

Wu Dazhong patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, once the fight starts, I will definitely maintain a high degree of mobility, and immediately transfer after a wave of salvos, I just tried firing a few shots from different places and angles, and the coordinates have been basically figured out, so that the devil will not be caught." ”

As he was talking, news came from the front that the Japanese fleet had crossed the Tongling County River, less than ten kilometers away from here.

Bai Fei immediately said to everyone: "Listen to my orders in a while, come step by step, don't lose your proportions." ”

The crowd said: "Yes! ”

"Good! Hide now. ”

At this time, it is the height of summer, and the vegetation on both sides of the river is lush, and it is very easy to dodge. When the order was given, the crowd quickly disappeared.

At the same time, on the bow of the light battleship "Yura" of the Japanese Third Fleet, the captain of the Hatata detachment, Hata, sank like water and quietly looked in the direction of Anqing. Ito Kazuho, the staff officer of the Habata detachment, saw him standing in the bow of the ship for a long time, so he came over and said, "Your Excellency, it is going to rain outside, so let's go into the cabin and rest." ”

Shigeichi Hata: "Ito-kun, do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

Ito shook his head.

Shigeichi Hata: "Do you remember His Excellency Chiaki Shigeto?" ”

Ito Kazuko suddenly said: "His Excellency Chiaki Shigeto suffered a crushing defeat in Shanghai, and finally committed suicide by cutting his stomach to thank the emperor, and the heroic soul should be able to return to the motherland and return to the arms of Amaterasu." ”

Shigeichi Harata: "Not bad! I admire Shigeto Chiaki's integrity very much, but his fiasco is a shame for the Taiwan army, and this attack on Wuhan, I must wash away this shame for the Taiwan army! ”

Ito Kazuho patted the horse and said, "Your Excellency will definitely be able to get what you want this time and be a great success." ”

A confident smile appeared on Hakata Shigeichi's face, but he quickly sighed again and said, "I don't know if I can meet Bai Fei and his direct regiment of the Gendarmerie of China this time." Although he and his troops have inflicted huge losses on our army, such an opponent is really exciting! I wish I could meet them this time and let me defeat them with my own hands, otherwise this battle will be a lot less fun..."

Hakuda Shigeichi said, holding his hands on his chest, looking up at the sky at 75 degrees, looking like a master. It's just that now the sky is pitch black, and there are not even stars, and he is blinded by this posture.

Just when Ha Tian Shigeichi sighed, in the temporary command post of Laozhou Town, Bai Fei asked, "What is the situation on the river?" ”

Li Shuyang said: "According to this, 2 kilometers, the fleet of the devil this time is really large enough, there are about 10 speedboats in front of the road, followed by two gunboats. There were also three merchant ships behind them, and behind the merchant ships were more than 100 wooden ships, and most of the devil soldiers rode on the merchant ships and wooden ships. Behind there were dozens of warships, so vast that you couldn't see the end even during the day. ”

Bai Fei estimated it and said, "Tell me to go down, let the brothers upstream start pouring oil into the river, and when the devil fleet comes, concentrate the RPG and sink the devil warship and several large merchant ships in front." ”

"Yes!"

Bai Fei connected with Wu Dazhong again and said to him: "As soon as the explosion sounds, you will aim at the merchant ships and warships in the river." ”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Fei couldn't help it, and ran to the riverside despite the obstruction of several special combat team members who were protecting him beside him. Li Hu, who was directing people to pour gasoline into the river, saw this and said, "Tuanzao, why are you here?" ”

Bai Fei said: "You're busy, I'll come and see the excitement." How many barrels have been poured now? ”

Li Hu said: "It's almost over." According to the previous brother's report, the gasoline floating on the water is almost to the river surface of Laozhou Town, but the sky is not good at the moment, and it is estimated that it will rain, will it have an impact on our plan? ”

Bai Fei said: "It's not in the way, as long as it doesn't rain heavily, it's fine, now the concentration of oil on the river surface is very high, and after ignition, a little rain may also help burn." ”

Li Hu didn't understand the truth of this, and Bai Fei didn't have time to explain, so he only told them to be careful, don't make a spark, if the oil is ignited in advance, it will really be wasted.

About two or three minutes later, news came from the front that the Japanese ships had entered the river of Laozhou Town. At this time, hundreds of barrels of oil dumped in the river have spread over a stretch of river about several kilometers long.

Because the soldiers of the Japanese soldiers on wooden boats were close to the water, the strong smell of oil soon aroused the alarm of some people, and some people immediately began to shout.

Shigeichi Hata, who was bragging about X at the bow of the ship, was still immersed in his realm of "seeking defeat alone" at this time, and when he was fluttering, he suddenly heard the noise of the soldiers, but he didn't hear what they said clearly. He frowned, and was about to scold angrily, but the staff officer Ito Ichiho said anxiously: "Your Excellency the detachment leader, the soldiers said that there is a layer of gasoline floating on the river..."

"What!" Shigeichi Harata was taken aback and immediately knew that the situation was not good. At this moment, several shells suddenly shot from the river bank, hitting 2 warships, including the "Yura", and 3 large troop carriers.

After the battleship "Yura" was hit, the hull trembled slightly, and before Hatashige could react again, more than 200 RPG armor-piercing shells had already arrived from the shore along the trajectory of the previous launch, launching a more fierce attack on the ships in the river.
