For the Chinese army, the Laodao River is the last moat to guard Changsha, and for the Japanese army attacking Changsha, Changsha is in sight after crossing the Laodao River.

So, the Laodao River is very important.

Therefore, after the Japanese army succeeded in storming the Laodao River, the transportation on the Laodao River was very busy.

After the third pontoon bridge was put into use, the flow of people and vehicles did not stop.

Although the dog eclipse day caused a certain psychological shadow to the ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army, the ordinary soldiers could not stop the torrent of aggression of the military empire, so they could only become one of them, surging forward with the inertia of the war.

At this time, a Japanese reconnaissance plane flew in from afar.

The Japanese pilots were ordered to reconnoiter the 74th Army of the Chinese army.

When he was about to fly over the Laodao River, he saw the army of the Great Japanese Empire below like a well-organized and orderly worker ant moving on the ground.

He couldn't help but lower his flight altitude, reduce his flight speed, and dived down like a fighter jet.

As a result, those originally small "worker ants" were enlarged into soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army of the same size as themselves.

He saw that many of his companions waved their arms in greeting him as he began to raise and vibrate his wings to greet these companions on land.

So, the Japanese pilot smiled proudly, and he drove the plane around the pontoon bridge before flying southeast.

The appearance of the reconnaissance plane once again aroused the excitement and pride of the Japanese troops who were passing on the pontoon bridge, and at this time they seemed to have returned to the moment when the golden iron horse was clearly dressed before the Japanese Empire set out on the expedition, as if the psychological shadow caused by the tengu eclipse at noon had finally disappeared at this moment.

But just when the soldiers saw the plane going away and were still talking about the might of the imperial army, they heard a "sizzle" sound from far to near in the sky, and a grenade hit a few meters away from the pontoon bridge and exploded with a bang.

There was another "clang" sound in the sound of the rushing water, and it was a piece of shrapnel that collapsed on the barrel of a mountain cannon that was being dragged by a horse.

When the splash had fallen, the remnants were still lingering, and some Japanese soldiers shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!" ”

The Japanese soldiers who were driving the carriage hurriedly gathered the reins to appease the frightened horses, and the Japanese soldiers who followed on the bridge deck lay on the pontoon bridge.

"Don't lie down! Pull the cannon across the bridge! A Japanese officer shouted.

He naturally understood that this was a test firing, and he didn't know if the next shot would hit the pontoon, nor did he know how many grenades would fly.

He also couldn't figure out how the Chinese army would have the audacity to shell the pontoon bridge at this time, and both sides of the Laodao River should be the world of the imperial army.

When the Japanese soldiers got up again, grenades from the woods more than 200 meters away whistled in droves.

Twenty rounds of grenades or so were fired, but only one round was fired, and the hit rate was 60 percent, so the bridge was blown up.

There weren't many Japanese soldiers who were actually killed or wounded by that grenade, but the problem was that the bridge was broken.

The Japanese soldiers fell into the water, screaming and struggling in the water, the horse pulling the cart fell into the water, and the cannon it was pulling naturally also fell into the water.

But the connection between the cannon and the horse was still there, so the cannon sank into the water and dragged the horse to sink as well.

And there was a Japanese soldier who had the least luck in his panic and somehow got caught in the reins of his horse, so he just floated up and was pulled into the river by the horse.

Naturally, the Japanese discovered that the place where the projectile was ejected was a dense forest, and the dense forest did not know how many Chinese soldiers were inside.

At this time, the Japanese army did not need to deploy troops, because there were many Japanese troops on the south bank of the Laodao River.

So the surrounding Japanese troops began to shoot at the woods.

At this time, in the woods, about 20 Chinese soldiers with grenadiers were running desperately towards the southern end of the woods.

There were many shots from the east, west, and north, but the woods were also dense, so the bullets, although sharp, did not penetrate the trunk of a tree as thick as a sea bowl.

When they reached the edge of the woods, twenty or so men jumped into the five carriages that had been waiting there, and the carriages began to run wildly southward.

……

When the first explosion of the grenade sounded, the wing commander of the 18th Wing of the 29th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army was in a big rage.

Because in the afternoon he received a report that more than twenty of his soldiers had lost contact while they were out, and eleven had been confirmed dead.

He was thinking that it was too rampant for a small force to be active when the imperial army was attacking on such a large scale, when he received a report that five wagons of the baggage troops were missing.

As a result, he was furious, because now the density of his own army on the south bank of the Laodao River had exceeded that of the Japanese-occupied area, how could he have lost five carriages for no reason.

It's just that he just dropped a cup of water and got the report again that he found the traces of that Chinese army, who had just blown up the newly built pontoon bridge last night with a grenadier!

"Inform all the troops to surround that Chinese army, and you must not let them escape!" Ishii Shin yelled and rushed out of the makeshift command post as well, the fragments of the glass that had just been shattered by him were trampled under his riding boots, and he was going too!

In fact, there was no need to wait for Shi Jinxin's order, and the Japanese troops on the south bank of the Laodao River had already moved closer to the area where the gunshots rang out.

Soldiers belonging to different wings of the same division rushed towards the woods like hornets that had blown up their nests, but they met no resistance.

The Japanese troops from the east, west, and north rushed into the woods but found nothing, so they naturally pursued them south.

When they rushed out of the woods, they encountered the Japanese troops who had outflanked them from outside the woods, but they were still one step too late, and they saw a few horse-drawn carriages running wildly southward in the distance.

The Japanese army reacted, this is the Chinese army wanted to run after the destruction, so someone reported the possible route of the five carriages in front, and the Japanese army behind began a frantic pursuit.

"Here, the fat man Shen Chong is here!" Yao Wenli shouted.

"Here, the devil is coming from that side!" The little soldier Gazi also shouted.

According to the battle plan prepared in advance, their group of five people ambushed on the side of the road where the carriage had to return, and it was responsible for blocking the Japanese troops who rushed to hear the news.

"Hit!" The little soldier shouted.

So, with a machine gun and a box gun, the five of them opened fire on the approaching Japanese troops more than 200 meters away.

There were definitely a lot of Japanese soldiers, there was a squadron of them, but they all lay down after the sudden bullet knocked down two soldiers.

The Japanese commander, who had been in battle for a long time, naturally immediately sensed that the opponent had light machine guns, so he naturally wanted to use crooked handles to cover and then bombard the opponent with grenadiers.

It's just that their shelves are pulled apart, but the other party's shooting has also stopped.

At this time, the five carriages that ran from north to south had already run to the side of the five people of Xiao Bing Gazi, and their speed was slightly reduced.

The five of them ran a few steps before jumping into a carriage.

The soldier who was driving the car and played the role of the owner of the car swung his whip and whipped the horse twice, and the horse ran wild again.

If the Japanese reconnaissance plane was still there, it would have been able to see the posture of this chase battle in the air.

Behind the five wagons, countless Japanese troops were frantically pursuing, and on the left and right flanks of the five wagons, Japanese troops were attacking in their direction.

But just as they were approaching the carriage's running route, they were stopped by the gunfire of several soldiers.

The blocking time was not long, and it was only for a short time.

But just a short time, when they opened their stances and charged, all they saw was the dust raised by the carriages.

The Chinese soldiers who ran, volleyed, blocked, and blocked jumped into the wagons and fled, and this happened four times, and there was no longer a Japanese volley in front of the five wagons, and they had already broken out of the Japanese encirclement.

I saw that five carriages were pulling seven or eight people each, and they had already rushed to the reckless green mountains south of the Laodao River. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
