It turned out that this one turned out to be rheumatoid arthritis! Gao Quan thought that he had met some strange people, and his heart was full of expectations, but he didn't know that it would be such a result, and he was suddenly a little ridiculous. However, no matter what, the information provided by Lao Du is still helpful to himself.

"Lao Du, then tell me, how many days can this rain fall? Will the Yi River outside the city rise? Gao Quan believes that Lao Du, who is a native of the Yi River and a police officer and a rheumatoid arthritis patient, will give himself a satisfactory answer to the water level of the Yi River.

Sure enough, as Gao Quan expected, Lao Du, as a local head snake, really knows about these situations, "I can't tell how many days the rain can be." But for the next three or five days, oh, it won't stop in three days! Gao Quan's eyebrows raised, and Lao Du knew that Gao Quan was not very satisfied with what he said, so he quickly accurate the time, and he didn't expect that this person was still a more serious person. How many days will it take, I'm not sure. The water level of the Yi River will definitely rise, just press the rain for three days and say it, it is not good to say how deep it can rise, but there is always a person how deep it is. ”

"Good! Lao Du, if you can win this battle, you have made a great contribution! You can't talk to anyone about this, don't go home these days, I'll talk about Director Yang, and I'll say that you were seconded to help. "Gao Quan, this is to do the prevention work at home, who knows if there are Japanese spies in this city, Lao Du came to see himself late at night, in case he was seen by the Japanese spies, wouldn't it be troublesome? To be on the safe side, it's better to keep him under your nose.

That night, in this conference room, the commander of the engineer battalion, the commander of the special agent battalion, and the commander of the reconnaissance battalion were respectively summoned by Gao Quan. After these three went out, Gao Quan immediately summoned all the remaining officers above the battalion level of the independent brigade to a meeting. The meeting lasted until dawn.

The time has come to April 17, the heavy rain has been falling for a week, the water level of the Yi River has not risen much, but the water flow has increased a lot, and the river surface has not been widened much, which has not brought any inconvenience to the exchanges between the two banks.

The Japanese army frequently increased its troops, and there was a great tendency to be unwilling to accept the defeat of Linyi and make a comeback. According to the information obtained by the scouts, the Fifth Division of the Devils had received reinforcements from two wings from Qingdao the day before yesterday, and was about to move in recent days, and if it had not been for the heavy rain for several days, the Japanese army would have already begun to attack Linyi two days earlier. After the 10th Devil's Division reorganized its troops and horses, it went south from Yicheng, and now it is connected with the Second Army and the 20th Army Corps, and the 59th Army is also entangled by another devil of the Fifth Division. The rain is getting lighter and lighter this day, and it is estimated that the time for the devil to launch an attack is today and tomorrow.

Although Gao Quan's men are few, they have already set up a soul-chasing array for the devils of the Fifth Division of Sakagaki, and now they are just waiting for the old devils of Sakagaki to stick their heads over.

At five o'clock in the morning of the 18th, Seishiro Itagaki led his Fifth Division, which had been rereplenished with troops, to kill the Benyi River in a menacing manner.

The heavy rain for several days did bring a lot of trouble to the mechanized troops of the Sakagaki Division, but the water level of the Yi River did not skyrocket to the point of being uncontrollable, which still made Lieutenant General Sakagaki happier. Due to the general height problem in the Japanese army, the devils are still generally a little afraid of water, and the river water is not high, which obviously helps a lot to improve morale. Lieutenant General Sakagaki thinks that Amaterasu still blessed them this time, otherwise, with such a heavy rain, how could this Yi River not rise much? He didn't even consider whether it was because the river was cleaner and the river was flowing more smoothly downstream. Otherwise, the devils are all megalomaniacs.

The original two bridges on the Yi River had been blown up as early as the first two Linyi battles. After days of fighting, the ferries on both sides of the river have long been destroyed by soldiers on both sides, and now if you want to cross the river, with the height of the little devil, you will definitely not be able to get through. Swim past? It seems that not many people in the Fifth Division can swim, and, even if there is good water quality, people can have a past, how can tanks and artillery swim? Is the Sakagaki Division, which has lost its heavy weapons, still called elite?

Fortunately, Sakagaki has a whole wing of sappers under him, although these sappers suffered a lot of losses in the attack and harassment of the independent brigade some time ago, the elite of them were still preserved, and there was naturally no problem with erecting a few pontoon bridges on the Yi River.

The devil seemed to be a natural master of building bridges and paving roads, and the sappers shouted trumpets, carried steel beams and wooden piles, and quickly busied the river, and in less than four hours, three pontoon bridges that could pass through tanks had reached the other side of the river. In the process of building the bridge, the squadron on the other side of the river did not stop shelling the devil sappers for a moment, and the devils fought back, while bravely jumping into the river water that was enough to drive piles above their heads, although they drowned a lot, but they really erected the pontoon bridge to the other side of the river.

After the bridge was erected, for the sake of safety, Lieutenant General Sakagaki first sent a tank brigade over, and then let the infantry follow, which was to prevent the squadron from attacking halfway.

Lieutenant General Sakagaki once carefully studied the ancient Chinese art of war, and the most taboo thing to do when crossing a river was to be attacked by the enemy. The Chinese have always believed that the army is most vulnerable when it crosses the river halfway through. Of course, General Sakagaki will not agree with this statement, in his mind, the Fifth Division is the most perfect army, indestructible at all times, and it is said that it is half crossed, that is, most of the half, and they have no flaws! However, in order to prevent the trickery of the Chinese, the lieutenant general still reminded his troops to be vigilant when crossing the river.

The infantry of the brigade crossed three pontoon bridges and quickly advanced to the opposite bank, although the bridge deck was slippery, and from time to time people fell. However, the brave Yamato warriors stubbornly got up and continued to move towards their goal! Lieutenant General Sakagaki looked at his brave soldiers, his eyes moistened a little, and the lieutenant general was moved by the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers.

Suddenly, a low, thunder-like voice rang out, "Boom! The voice was distant and dull, and then it was as if a thousand horses were galloping, and as if a mighty prehistoric monster was about to emerge from the ground, and the earth trembled faintly, and the sky was filled with dark clouds and winds, as if a devastating catastrophe was about to befall them.

Was there an earthquake? The commander of the Sakagaki division was surprised. Japan is a country with many volcanic earthquakes, and earthquakes occur almost every year, so the lieutenant general is quite familiar with earthquakes. It's just that this earthquake, how is it different from previous earthquakes? Could it be that China and Japan are not even the same for earthquakes? Well! China is a continental country, and the earthquake is of course different from Japan, just as the height of their people is generally taller than that of the Japanese, and the earthquake must be better than Japan!

Lieutenant General Sakagaki thought he had found the crux of the problem and loudly ordered his soldiers to speed up the river! And he himself began to walk on the pontoon, and he wanted to enjoy the wonderful feeling of crossing the river in the earthquake in China.
