If the Japanese army did not carry out the order to dismantle the pontoon bridge and stay in the fortifications, the three companies of the Eighth Route Army would fight against the two Japanese squads holding the fortifications, and it would likely be a strong attack, even if Huang Hua and them finally eliminated the Japanese army, the casualties would probably be very large!

Now it's okay, the Japanese army who received the order to dismantle the bridge poured out of the nest and ran to the pontoon bridge, the soldiers were holding tools to dismantle the pontoon bridge, and they didn't even bring weapons, and there was only one detachment left on the position, and as soon as the Eighth Route Army pounced on it, it really became a pack of wolves attacking a dozen sheep, which was not enough to bite!

By the time Huang Hua rushed into the ring fortifications of the Japanese army, a detachment of more than a dozen little devils had already been beaten out of shape by the machine gun fire of the Eighth Route Army.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Eighth Route Army, which occupied the annular fortifications at the bridgehead of the Japanese army, turned their guns with light and heavy machine guns and rifles, and opened fire on the little devils who had just run onto the pontoon bridge.

The originally silent summer night by the Yellow River turned into a slaughterhouse in an instant!

The most crucial thing in this kind of one-sided battle is a "fighter". As long as the fighter is well grasped, when the real fight starts, it will be much simpler!

The three pontoon bridges were littered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers!

This is by the Yellow River, the sound of the surging Yellow River covers up the sound of machine guns and rifles, and it is impossible for the Japanese puppet troops in Pingyin County and Dong'e County to know about the battle of Zhaizhuang Ferry!

After the reconnaissance battalion commander Wang Quanyou and Huang Hua rendezvous, Wang Quanyou, who had studied Japanese with Zhao Changshou, although his Japanese foundation was still very poor, he could roughly understand the meaning of the Japanese army's telegram, and from the telegram left by the Japanese army, it was now that the Japanese army was about to reinforce the Yellow River defense line from the north and south of Luxi, and immediately reported to Xiao Siming to report the enemy situation and urged the main force to rush to the Yellow River crossing to cross the river.

After the telegram, considering that the Pingyin Japanese puppet army, the Dong'a Japanese puppet army, and the Feicheng Japanese puppet army might urgently reinforce the Zhaizhuang ferry, Huang Hua immediately ordered the reconnaissance battalion to reconnoiter in the direction of Pingyin, Dong'e, and Feicheng, and sent one company to the west bank of the Yellow River to deploy defenses, and he personally led two companies to deploy defenses on the east bank of the Yellow River.

In fact, Huang Hua's telegram did not go out for a long time, and the armored battalion of the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, which had ended the battle of the canal bridge, and the first batch of anti-aircraft machine gun battalions, heavy machine gun battalions, infantry artillery battalions, artillery companies, and regiments and battalions of automobiles, rushed to the crossing of the Yellow River.

The anti-aircraft machine-gun battalion crossed the river first and established anti-aircraft positions. Immediately afterwards, the heavy machine gun battalion, the infantry artillery battalion, the artillery company, and the first regiment and one battalion all got out of the car and crossed the river, came under the command of Huang Hua, and began to establish positions.

With such a powerful firepower, Huang Hua was suddenly full of pride, and the Japanese puppet army in Pingyin City and Feicheng did not come to reinforce it!

Since this was the first time that the tanks of the armored battalion crossed the Yellow River through a pontoon bridge, Xiao Siming was not at ease, so he rushed to the ferry with the armored battalion and personally commanded the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion to cross the river.

When the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion were about to cross the river, Xiao Siming ordered all the cars to turn around and return the same way to pick up the follow-up troops.

It is true that the pontoon bridges built by the Japanese army can pass through tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles, but the Japanese army's combat teams and automobile teams are well-trained.

The armored battalion of the Eighth Route Army is different, it has been established for a short time, and it has not been trained in the subject of crossing the river through pontoon bridges in peacetime, and this is again on the surging Yellow River, if you are not careful, tanks and armored vehicles may fall into the Yellow River and be swallowed by the river!

Of the three pontoon bridges built by the Japanese army, only one could pass tanks and cars, and the remaining two were for infantry, which was much narrower.

Looking at the pontoon bridge in the night and listening to the sound of the surging water of the Yellow River, Yuan Gang, the commander of the armored battalion, frowned into the word "Sichuan", and said to Xiao Siming in frustration: "Commander, this pontoon bridge is shaky, and if you are not careful, tanks and cars may fall into the Yellow River." Knowing this, it would have been better not to blow up the Luokou Railway Bridge in the first place! ”

Xiao Siming asked with a smile: "What's the matter, are you afraid?" ”

Yuan Gang had a stalk in his neck and roared: "I'm afraid of a bird!" Damn the egg face up, not dead for thousands of years! ”

Xiao Siming patted Yuan Gang's shoulder, still smiling: "That's right!" The Eighth Route Army is not afraid of death, will it be afraid of a pontoon bridge? ”

After speaking, Xiao Siming led Yuan Gang to walk back and forth on the pontoon bridge specially used for passing vehicles, repeatedly checked, and finally took matters into his own hands to lay the rutted board of the pontoon bridge on the tank, and ordered to turn on all the searchlights of the Japanese army to illuminate the pontoon bridge and the river.

The soldiers on both sides of the Yellow River stared at the tank driven by Xiao Siming, and watched the tank slowly drive onto the pontoon bridge and slowly drive towards the east bank of the Yellow River.

Before the soul crossing, Xiao Siming was a special operations elite and had undergone strict training. Driving tanks, armored cars, cars is commonplace. Later, when he became a training staff officer, the troops' exercises were all around the clock. Now there is nothing difficult to play with this kind of antique Japanese tank that can only be seen in museums in later generations!

Very good, Xiao Siming drove the first tank through the pontoon bridge and arrived on the east bank!

After getting out of the tank, Xiao Siming returned to the west end of the pontoon bridge, gathered the tankers and armored car drivers, explained in detail the precautions and operation essentials for crossing the bridge, and then ordered the armored battalion to cross the river.

Xiao Siming got on the second tank again, this time, he did not drive it himself, but sat in the commander's position, his head sticking out of the turret, and commanded the tanker to drive the tank onto the pontoon bridge and drive towards the opposite bank!

Under Xiao Siming's demonstration and leadership, the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion, one after another, drove onto the pontoon bridge and slowly drove towards the east bank of the Yellow River.

In the entire sequence of the Eighth Route Army, the eastward advance detachment was the only heavily armed unit with tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles. The biggest obstacle for the eastward advance detachment to enter the hinterland of Shandong is the Yellow River, that is, how to transport vehicles and artillery across the Yellow River!

If it weren't for the fact that Shimoda Muro, Minister of Railways of the North China Front, had to leave the pontoon bridge built by the 16th Division to temporarily serve as a bridge and link between the two sides of the Yellow River between the Japanese army, Xiao Siming would have gone east into the hinterland of Shandong, and he could only go to Luokou to seize the ferry ships controlled by the Japanese army. In that case, the crossing of the river would be much slower, and the time required would be longer, and when the Japanese planes arrived during the day, it was likely that a tragic air defense operation would be launched again. If that happens, in order to cross the river quickly, I'm afraid Xiao Siming will have to burn most of the cars.

Tanks and armored vehicles, Xiao Siming is absolutely reluctant to burn and blow up, that is to be transported across the Yellow River no matter what!

After the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion crossed the river, a dozen or so cars carrying diesel, gasoline and ammunition of the armored battalion crossed the river.

By the time the car carrying the troops returned to the ferry, the entire armored battalion had already crossed the Yellow River.

For the rest of the troops, Xiao Siming no longer let the car return to pick them up, so he could only let them march on foot. Because the captured Japanese army independently mixed into the 4th Brigade, the 5th Division, and the 5th Brigade, the 5th Brigade, the baggage and the 5th Wing, the ammunition supply was relatively large, and it was necessary to organize an immediate crossing of the river. This means that all vehicles must cross the river by pontoon before dawn.

Because of the experience of crossing the pontoon bridge for the first time, the tankmen of the armored battalion, the drivers of armored vehicles, and the drivers of more than a dozen cars transporting ammunition and fuel all crossed the bridge on foot to assist the subsequent convoy to cross the bridge.

The fifth division is a mechanized division with many cars. In the Battle of Canal Bridge, in addition to the destroyed cars, the eastward advance detachment captured a full fifty cars carrying supplies. However, the troops did not have so many drivers, so they could only resort to the method of towing cars, and pulled the captured cars and the supplies on the cars to the Yellow River.

It is no longer possible to use the method of towing cars to cross the pontoon bridge, and it can only be crossed one after another.

What Xiao Siming didn't expect was that the car crossed the pontoon bridge much faster than the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion. The main reason is that the drivers of the automobile team are basically all drivers recruited all the way from the Jilu side, and they are all veterans. Especially the Japanese automobile soldiers captured in Chenqiao, driving across the pontoon bridge is a compulsory subject, they are very sophisticated, driving a car across the bridge is fast and steady, and everyone who sees it is amazed!

After the car had finished, field artillery, anti-aircraft guns, and rubber-tyred carts drawn by pack horses rushed to the ferry and began to cross the bridge.

All night, when the sky was light, the cavalry battalion covered by the palace rushed to the ferry, and the cavalry led the neighing war horses, stepped on the pontoon bridge, crossed the Yellow River, and stepped on the land of Qilu!

When he was in Chenqiao, when Xiao Siming mobilized the Japanese prisoners, he said that when they reached safety, they would be released and let them return to the Japanese army in disguise as lost returnees. At this time, Xiao Siming should fulfill his promise and release these Japanese prisoners. However, the troops were too short of automobile soldiers and rubber-tyred cart drivers, so they had no choice but to let them continue to serve the Eighth Route Army, and wait until they crossed the Jinpu Road and entered the mountainous area.

At this time, in the land of Qilu east of the Yellow River, only the remnants of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade and the Second Infantry Regiment of the Mixed Brigade of the Japanese North China Garrison Army stationed in Jinan were defeated. The only variable was that the Japanese troops who were ordered to reinforce the Yellow River defense line from the north and south of southwest Lu were mixed into the 3rd Brigade and the 13th Brigade.

As for the Japanese Army's Fifth Division, Sixteenth Division, Twenty-first Division, and Independent Mixed Third Brigade, they have been thrown far away on the west bank of the Yellow River, as long as Xiao Siming gives an order to dismantle the pontoon bridge at Zhaizhuang Ferry, and then destroy the ferry at Luokou Ferry, the Fifth Division, the Sixteenth Division, the Twenty-first Division, and the Independent Mixed Third Brigade can only jump to their feet in a hurry, and there is no way to do it in a hurry. If they want to chase them to the hinterland of Shandong, they can only rush to Tianjin, ship to Qingdao, Weihai, Longkou and other places, and then assemble and transship, and then they can march eastward again and start a siege by the advance detachment!

If the Japanese army really wanted to continue to besiege the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, in terms of time, it would not be possible to do it without a week or ten days. I can't even do it in half a month!

The land of Qilu, with mountains, water, grain and guns, is an extremely favorable strategic situation in front of Xiao Siming!
