Chapter 60, Storming the Beachhead

The 250th Division fought in Lu'an, because the marching formation was too large, and almost everyone knew about it, and some crooked reporters also came to report on it, interviewing this army, which is currently being hung up as the strongest army in East Asia.

Crooked Guoren suddenly came to interview, which caught Lu Qiang a little off guard, although he wanted to be famous, earn a lot of prestige, and then draw a lottery. However, in order to keep secrets, he still refused all of them, those newspapers are the easiest to leak information, and a lot of the information of the Kuomintang was leaked by the newspapers, they don't know what to keep secrets or not, no matter what, as long as it attracts people's attention, they will put it in the newspapers, and Guojun also lacks a sense of secrecy, and allows the newspapers to mess around.

In fact, Lu Qiang also guessed that the purpose of these foreign reporters should be the fifth master, and behind them, there is a country. In addition, the Type 59, Type 62 and T-34 are a little too terrifying, the caliber of the tank artillery of these countries is no more than 60mm at most, the 76mm of the T-34, the 85mm of the Type 62, and the 100mm of the Type 59 are all too BT, so that Lu Qiang has to be careful, although the gold finger is very strong, but it can't withstand the group beating, and before the mustache goes crazy, these things are still hidden as much as possible.

Although Lu Qiang tried his best to cover it up, there were still photos that were revealed, placed on the tables of the leaders of various countries, the posture of the fifth master soaring in the air, and the Type 59 with a 100mm gun galloping on the ground, which made them not know how not to pay attention to it. However, no one paid attention to the 81 bar, but paid attention to the 56 and a half, and it is estimated that they all thought that the 81 bar was a submachine gun.

If it weren't for this, it is estimated that these "gentlemen" would have rushed to China with a certain banner held high and under the slogan of XXX, and they still need to send reporters to rob them directly, and they do not want to see a strong China.

Wei River, the ancient name of Bishui, [氵bi] water, Baisha River, has two sources in the east and west, with a total length of 253 kilometers and a basin area of 6,000 square kilometers.

On the east bank of the west source of the Wei River, there is a town called Subu Town, the town is not big, there are 7 or 80 households, the original town was occupied by the Japanese army, because the town was relatively barren, and there was no garrison, but a few puppet soldiers were appointed, and a dog-legged mayor was re-elected, because the mayor was also a person in the town, so it was not difficult for the people, so the people in Subu Town were okay, but they had to hand over a certain amount of food every month, which was not happy.

However, the town, which was originally peaceful, suddenly broke into a large number of Japanese troops today, began to drive away the people, and at the same time built a defensive position on the spot.

"Taijun, Taijun, what are you doing here?" The mayor of the town watched the Japanese army drive people away, and he was a little confused.

"Yo, it's Wang Sang, for your loyalty, I'll tell you that this place is about to become a battlefield, if you have any wives and children, send them away." The Japanese officer, who saw that the rank was a captain, patted the mayor on the shoulder and said.

"Ah, battlefield, haven't all those armies been beaten away by you?" The mayor wondered.

"That's right, they all ran away, but there are still people who always don't give up and want to disrupt the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle established by our empire, which really deserves death." The Japanese soldier with the rank of captain said with a look of righteous indignation.

"Yes, yes, they all deserve to die." The mayor hooked his waist and kept answering him.

"Yo Xi, it's better to have Wang Sang, if only they were all so well-behaved." The captain was very satisfied with the mayor's attitude, raised his hand and patted his face gently, indicating that he was very satisfied. Then he turned around and walked away.

Seeing the Japanese captain leave, the mayor changed his previous sycophant smile, and his hooked waist straightened, looking at the back of this captain, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but it was also fast, but it was also fast, and this killing intent flashed. "Humph!" With a cold snort, the mayor turned and left.

Lu Qiang's army was stopped by the Wei River, the last time he attacked Lu'an, he took a bridge downstream of Huoshan County, but the bridge was destroyed by the Japanese army, along the west source, all the bridges were blown up by the Japanese army, which made the momentum of the attacking team stagnate, it was too late to make a detour, the distance was too far, and finally, they found that in Subu Town, where there were many beachheads and the water was relatively shallow, so they chose to cross the river in Subu Town, and the Japanese army seemed to guess that they were going to cross the river in Subu Town, So he pulled a large group of men over to stop them from crossing the river.

This time, the people in charge of the team were Hu Zhuang, Bai Yiren and Monkey, and Lu Qiang was sitting at home, after all, his injuries were not healed.

"The little devil is really yin enough, and he actually blew up the bridge." The monkey holds a telescope and looks at the two-kilometre-wide river, but most of it is beachhead.

"It shows that they are afraid." Bai Yiren said coldly on the side.

"Let the soldiers prepare the pontoon bridge, and the artillery will let the 105 howitzers and rocket artillery deploy, and the rest will not be moved, those are all to be used to fight Lu'an." The monkey lowered and said from a soldier beside him.

"Yes!" The warrior answered, turned around and went to inform.

Half an hour was very urgent for both sides, the Japanese wanted to dig more fortifications, and the monkeys wanted to prepare faster, so that the Japanese preparations would be reduced.

A 105mm howitzer stands on the ground, the barrel pointing diagonally to the sky, and an ammunition box filled with high-explosive shells is placed next to it. This artillery position was made in a hurry, and there was no disguise, and a cannon was so far away from the opposite bank.

"Fire!"

"Tom, tom, tom~~" The artillery fired instantly, the cannon barrel spewed out flames of several meters, throwing shells to the opposite bank, and at the same time the 107 rocket launcher also stood on the shore, and after receiving the order, one rocket after another sprayed flames and flew to the opposite side.

The captain of the Japanese army stood on a high slope with a command knife, holding a telescope and looking at the opposite side, they came in a hurry, bringing only some 92 guns, and not too many artillery. Now he was observing the opposite position, and suddenly he noticed that the opposite position flashed with bursts of fire, and immediately shouted that something was wrong, and the flames spewed from the tail of the rocket launcher dragged the elder forward, and then smashed over.

"Boom Boom Boom~~" The fire soared into the sky, and the rocket artillery saturated the cover, enveloping the entire Subu Town, after a round of rocket artillery, the shells that drew an arc in the sky fell Yingying, and the ground churned again, and the dust that exploded could not fall for a long time.

The town of Subu was once again devastated, and many ancient buildings were destroyed by the explosion of cannonballs, but at this critical moment of national survival, ancient buildings are nothing.

"Boom!" A shell exploded four meters away from the captain, buzzing his ears and temporarily deaf on the spot. Buzzing in his ears, the captain got up from the ground and looked around blankly, just now he was blown up by the shell that had deviated from the course.

The town of Subu, which was saturated and covered with shelling and was not too fortified, was destroyed under this heavy artillery fire, and all the houses were blown into ruins, and many Japanese soldiers were buried in it.

"Is the pontoon ready?" Bai Yiren looked at Subu Town, which had been reduced to ruins, with satisfaction, and then asked the people around him.

"Ready."

"Then start crossing the river." As soon as Bai Yiren gave the order, he had already cut down a large area of wood and piled it there, and began to reach the pontoon bridge.

Several soldiers rowed small boats with thick ropes across the river, paddling across this deep river and reaching a beachhead. The beach was flooded with water, the soil was soft, and there seemed to be an unpredictable danger hidden in a large patch of withered reeds.

Originally, these reeds were burned in one fire, but it took time, so they were not burned. The thick stake was taken out of the boat and nailed the stake into the earth, which was as thick as a sea bowl and two meters long, because the soil here was soft, and it was not possible to nail it deeper.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~~" Several people wielded sledgehammers and nailed the wooden stakes hard, nailing the wooden stakes into the soil to a depth of one meter and a half, leaving only half a meter on it for tying ropes. The thumb-thick rope was tied to the stake again and again, and the rope was fixed, and then all the prepared empty oil drums were brought up, fixed between the ropes, and then covered with thick wooden planks, and in order to increase the load-bearing capacity, the stakes were nailed to one side and again. This simple pontoon bridge took more than an hour, and was designed for tanks and trucks to travel along the bridge. However, more than an hour earlier, the monkey had commanded his army to attack the opposite side on the ships that had been collected everywhere.

The Wei River in Subu Town, the beachhead is one by one, like an isolated island, full of withered reeds, which is the easiest to hide, just in case, these reeds are all shelled, and the beachhead of the isolated island is washed over and over again. However, no incendiary bombs were used, just ordinary shells, because once they caused a fire, it would not be easy to extinguish it, and these fires would stop their attack.

Surprisingly, the Japanese army did not place ambushes on these island-like beaches, which made the monkeys a little puzzled, and at the same time they did not dare to be careless, wondering if this was a conspiracy of the Japanese army. The offensive in the back slowed down somewhat.

In fact, they were suspicious, these island-like beachheads were not because they didn't want to release them, but because they didn't have time to release them, and there were no fortifications on them, so they were easily wiped out, and the commander of the Japanese army also thought that if the other side wanted to use what kind of arson bombs, wouldn't these people be burned to death, so the Japanese army did not release people on it.

The team was in a small boat, a boat could only hold a few people, and a squad could not fit it, and in the bow of the boat lay a machine gunner, paying attention to the surroundings, the others lowered their bodies and were on guard, and the two were responsible for paddling, until they were close to the other side of the river, and they were not in danger, which made them wonder if they were mistaken, in fact, there were no Japanese troops at all.

"Da Da Da ~~" Suddenly, there was a machine gun sound from the opposite side, and the bullets whizzed through the air, hitting the water, splashing, hitting the boat, sawdust flying, and some soldiers were killed on the spot by bullets.

"It's a little devil, fire quickly." When these recruits were attacked for the first time, they were a little confused, they didn't know what to do, and their minds were white, especially when they saw the dead people around them, which stimulated their nerves.

Some of the soldiers who reacted immediately counterattacked the other side, and the machine gunners lying on the bow of the ship opened fire on the Japanese positions.

Several Japanese 92 heavy machine guns were spitting flames frantically, and riflemen were shooting at the boats on the river. These are all veteran Japanese soldiers, and they are not merciless when they recruit new soldiers, not to mention that these recruits are still enemy recruits, and they are directly killed. The Japanese army fought back desperately, causing a lot of damage to the attacking recruits, but Lu Qiang's side had a lot of automatic firepower, and he was barely able to suppress the Japanese army in front of him, relying on the advantage of dense firepower to force the beachhead.
