On the north bank of the Yellow River, on the position of the 48th Infantry Wing, the signal soldier strode in front of the wing commander Xiaodao Niucheng with an extremely ugly face, and suddenly retracted his feet and said: "Report, Wing Commander, the division headquarters called back, saying that the artillery position of the Zhina people is outside the range of our artillery, so it cannot provide effective fire support!" ”

"Yaga Tooth Road! …”

"But! The commander of the division has already requested aviation support from General Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, and the aviation will be able to arrive in ten minutes at most! The communication soldier directly interrupted Kojima Niucheng before roaring.

At this time, the artillery bombardment of the guard regiment had begun to extend, and the devil soldiers, who had all been lying on the ground, in addition to rescuing the wounded, began to dig in an intense and orderly manner.

………

Guards regiment, former enemy command.

After the cannonade stopped, Xu Wen strode over with excitement on his face, and said uprightly: "Commander, this time the 48th Infantry Wing is invincible. ”

"Xu Wen, order the artillerymen to immediately shift their positions and withdraw all the artillery into Laotianan Station! In case of an air raid by the devil's plane! Zhang Mingyu said thoughtfully.

Zhang Mingyu knows that the devil is not the one who suffers, his artillery can dodge once, it is impossible to dodge twice, this time it must be transferred, otherwise the ending will definitely be tragic.

Fortunately, the artillery position was not far from Laotianan Station, so it was easier to evacuate, and the rocket artillery of the rocket artillery company was vehicle-mounted, and the maneuverability was very strong, so there was no need to worry about the devil's plane being able to find them.

"Yes!" Xu Wen snapped upright, and immediately wanted to turn around and leave. Zhang Mingyu waved his hand to stop him and said, "Slow, you are going to inform the Ministry of Communications and send an order to the Taiyuan Flying Eagle Division, so that Su Dingtian can prepare a large-scale bombing operation to carry out the most intense bombardment of the 48th Infantry Wing of the Yue Army that crossed the river." Destroy their sense of resistance in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes!" Xu Wen stood up suddenly, and then quickly turned around and left.

Ten minutes later, the planes arrived, and a mixed group of 12 Zero fighters and 20 Type 95 bombers began to bomb the position of the guard regiment indiscriminately.

Since it was impossible to find the artillery position of the guard regiment, the military planes poured all the aerial bombs on the position of the guard regiment.

"Woo...!" A shrill whistle sounded over the position of the guard regiment, followed by a series of earth-shattering explosions.

The soldiers of the guard regiment hiding in the underground air-raid shelter felt the rumbling sound and vibration coming from the ground, and couldn't help but scold: "Dog, the little devil is so rampant, what about our plane?" ”

"Wang Dahu, what are you in a hurry, this devil's plane won't be long after we cross the Yellow River, take Zhengzhou, and directly take their airport, see if these Oriental miscellaneous pieces are still rampant here!" Another soldier said.

The bombardment of the warplanes lasted for half an hour, and hundreds of tons of steel bombs were poured on the position of the guard regiment, cutting off the trenches and fortifications of the entire position several centimeters thick.

However, because the dug dug dug was deep and safe, the losses of the guard regiment were minimal, and apart from the fact that some individual bunkers were unfortunately directly hit by aerial bombs, causing some casualties, the guard regiment suffered almost no major losses.

On the opposite side of the position of the guard regiment, on the position of the 48th Infantry Wing, the devil soldiers of the 48th Infantry Wing could not help but cheer in unison when they saw their own air force displaying their might.

Soon, those "great" aviation troops fluttered their wings and began to return one after another.

However, not long after the military air force returned, the roar of dull engines came from the northern sky, and those devil soldiers who were still happily celebrating the greatness of their air force just now suddenly looked even more ugly than the faces of donkeys.

I saw Chinese fighters painted with blue sky and white flags in the sky piercing through the clouds and flying towards the heads of the devil soldiers.

Looking at the whistling Chinese fighter plane in the sky, Kojima Niucheng couldn't help but gasp, and after the corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times, Kojima Niucheng suddenly opened his voice and shouted: "The fighter!" Air raid! Fast! Take cover...! ”

In fact, before the howling pigs of the small island Niucheng, the devil soldiers of the 48th Infantry Wing were already in chaos and began to flee for their lives, but there was nothing on the empty river beach in the wilderness for these "warriors" of the Imperial Army to hide.

At this time, the group of bombers in the sky had already swooped down, and the dense rain of bullets suddenly poured down head-on, accompanied by a piercing whistle, one after another bombs dragged down with a long tail flame.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded, the whole earth trembled, and some of the devil soldiers who didn't have time to dodge were directly swept away by the air wave, and then smashed down again.

Some of the quick-legged devil soldiers ran away, but they were soon intercepted by the fighter formations that were providing escort for the bombers! "Da Tom Tom..."The powerful machine cannon erupted with great power, and hot scarlet tongues of fire sprayed towards the ground.

Some of the devil soldiers who were desperately escaping were caught up by the rapid rain of machine shells, and they were immediately beaten into a puddle of rotten meat, and their entire bodies were beaten to pieces, and their deaths were extremely tragic.

Across the river, the actual commander-in-chief in charge of this operation, Hatohiko Asakanomiya, looked at all this, his face suddenly turned pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times, Hatohiko Asakanomiya finally broke out, he pulled out his command knife and roared: "Yagaya Road!" Order the aviation to take off immediately! Bombing! Revenge surname bombing! ”

"General! Our aviation has just returned home, needs to replenish fuel and ammunition, and it will take at least two hours before it can take off again! A staff officer next to him suddenly bowed his head and said.

"Yaga Yalu!" Hatohiko of Asakamiya waved his command knife extremely angrily, but at this time he was helpless, the Yellow River in front of him, which was about a thousand meters wide, directly blocked the life of the 48th Infantry Wing.

At this time, the commander of the 17th Division, Lieutenant General Nakajima Kawaji, strode over, and suddenly bowed his head to Hatohiko Asakanomiya with a solemn face: "General, the desperate situation of the 48th Infantry Wing is all caused by poor consideration of humble duties, so please also ask the general to punish you!" ”

"Nakajima-kun, you don't have to blame yourself too much, I am also responsible for this matter, but now is not the time to hold you accountable, telegraph to all the imperial warriors of the 48th Infantry Wing, hold on to the last moment! In addition, generate electricity for the Third Fleet! Ask them to march quickly and send warships to reinforce them immediately! Hatohiko turned around with an awe-inspiring expression, patted Nakajima Kawaji on the shoulder and said, "Nakajima-kun, our contest with the 42nd Group Army of the Shina Army has just begun. ”

"Hay! Humble duty understood! Nakajima Kawaji bowed his head abruptly.

I just don't know what the current situation in Xinxiang is! Hatohiko said thoughtfully. In his opinion, even if the entire 48th Infantry Wing was shattered, it would not have much impact on the overall situation, but if Xinxiang City was lost, the imperial army would lose the area north of the Yellow River.

Such a situation is a great disadvantage for the Imperial Army.

At this moment, a communications staff officer walked over quickly with a hurried expression, and suddenly retracted his feet and said, "General! Major General Chiaki Shigeto sent an urgent telegram from Shingo! ”

"Huh?" Hatohiko turned his head suddenly; Awe-inspiring said: "Read! ”

"Hay! Major General Chiaki Shigeto said in the telegram that the people of China used at least ten infantry divisions to launch an attack on Xinxiang City, and Major General Chiaki Shigeto had recruited all the expatriates in the city to join the army and organize resistance, but because the people of China occupied an absolute superiority in strength and firepower, Major General Chiaki Shigeto said that he could hold out for three days at most, so he asked the general to send reinforcements immediately! ”

"What, three days?" Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace was suddenly shocked, the Third Fleet would never be able to catch up in three days, but the tens of thousands of troops in his hands were blocked by the natural danger in front of him, and the Yellow River Railway Bridge needed two months to repair.

Therefore, at this time, Hatohiko of Asaka Palace also began to panic, in case Xinxiang was lost, it would definitely cause a great unfavorable situation to the war situation.

Therefore, at this time, he must find a way to save this situation, and Hatohiko Chaoxiang said to the people around him with a dark face: "Walk back to the station!" ”

When everyone heard this, they followed closely, only the commander of the 17th Division, Nakajima Kawaji, looked back at the north bank of the Yellow River with some hesitation, although it was a matter of time when all the jade of his infantry wing was shattered, but Nakajima Kawaji was still a little reluctant, after all, it was his own subordinates, and the loss was the strength of his 17th Division.

……

On the other side of the Yellow River, the bombardment of the 48th Infantry Wing by the Flying Eagle Division finally ended, and the bombardment lasted for nearly 40 minutes.

There were very few devils in the 48th Infantry Wing who could stand up, and as far as the eye could see, the entire position was covered with gunsmoke, some charred corpses, and some stumps and broken arms that had been blown to pieces, setting off the entire position as miserable as Shura Hell.

At this time, in the headquarters of the guard regiment, Xu Wen picked up the phone and shouted into the microphone: "First battalion, attack immediately!" Give Lao Tzu the 48th Infantry Wing to annihilate this dog, remember not to leave one! ”

Soon, the order was quickly transmitted to the company command posts of the companies in the front line through the radio waves, and the next moment, nearly a thousand soldiers jumped out of the trenches with shouts and rushed forward like a tide.

The remnants of the 48th Infantry Wing's 100 wounded soldiers were completely wiped out by the 1st Battalion in less than five minutes, and the nearly 3,000 people who crossed the Yellow River were all annihilated, and not a single one of them escaped the net.

What made the soldiers of the first battalion more depressed was that after searching for a long time, they could not find the commander of this devil unit, and the last sharp-eyed soldier found a distorted adjutant knife that had been blown up in a puddle of minced meat.

It turned out that Osaku Ushiro was directly bombarded into slag, and the only thing left was his command saber stained with Chinese blood.

After hastily cleaning up the battlefield, the first battalion returned to its position, and hurriedly built and strengthened its position while the devils did not launch an artillery bombardment.

………

After seeing that the 48th Infantry Wing was completely annihilated, Zhang Mingyu took Xu Wen back to the headquarters of the guard regiment at Laotianan Station. Since all the wooden boats raised by the Yue army had been blown up and sunk, and an infantry wing that had crossed the Yellow River had been completely annihilated, the Yue army did not even want to cross the Yellow River in a short period of time, unless they had grown wings.

After entering the command headquarters, Zhang Mingyu took off the steel helmet on his head, put it on the table casually and said: "Xu Wen, the wooden boats raised by the devils have been completely destroyed by us, and they can't imagine that they will raise enough wooden boats in a short period of time, so. The devil can't cross the river in a short time, I'm going to Xinxiang to personally command the siege, and Lao Tzu will personally split the old devil Shigeto Chiaki, so I'll leave it to you here. ”

"Please rest assured! Humble duty guarantees the completion of the task. Xu Wen stood up and said loudly.

"You are thoughtful, do something, love to use your brain, I am at ease with you! But don't be careless and paralyzed, give the devil an opportunity, you must send more patrol posts, and report to me as soon as you find something suspicious! Zhang Mingyu nodded.

"Yes!" Xu Wen said with his head held high.

"Oh! By the way, the patrol mission of the motorized infantry company of the guard regiment will continue, the devil is very cunning, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in short, before I take Xinxiang, you must lead the guard regiment to me to defend the banks of the Yellow River, and you can't let any devil come over. Zhang Mingyu told repeatedly.

"Yes! Please rest assured, never let a devil come! Xu Wen said loudly again.

……….

Yellow River Railway Bridge, South Railway Station. It is also the location of the general headquarters of the former enemy of the Japanese army.

Hatohiko of Asaka Palace has returned to the headquarters with everyone, and after entering the headquarters, Hatohiko of Asaka Palace took the lead in sitting in the first place, and then said solemnly: "Everyone, please sit!" ”

Everyone sat down according to the words, but they didn't speak, and the atmosphere of the whole venue seemed a little depressing, and finally it was Hatohiko Chao Xianggong who took the lead in breaking the silence, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Everyone, please show the look that this soldier should have, don't look like a defeated bull."

We have not been defeated, and although the war is not in our favor for the time being, I believe that our heroic Imperial Army will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties ahead, because we have the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor! Okay, let's talk about any good way you have to cross the Yellow River with your troops, and at the moment Xinxiang is in an emergency, and the Shigeto detachment continues our support. ”

"General! There is a way to do it! But I don't know if it will work out at the moment! At this time, his own chief of staff, Major General Haneda, said.

"Haneda-kun, what's the solution? Please speak up! Hatohiko of Asakanomiya gestured with his eyes.
