Chapter 146 The Devil's Pontoon
Zhang Wenshan said on the side: "Another key to this battle is the artillery regiment, if I guess correctly, the devil will transport all the artillery to Jinkou, if once the devil's artillery is formed, then our position is like paper in the eyes of the devil." ”
Shen Shaofan smiled slightly and said, "As long as the reconnaissance force crosses the river, we will not give him a chance to set up artillery." He turned around and said, "Go back to the division headquarters." ”
Everyone set the time at the low tide of the Jinkou River section on the fifteenth day of this month, but they all made a huge mistake, that is, the rainy season, the rainy season here is not stopped for many months, and because of the rainy season, the river water in the Jinkou River section not only does not ebb tide, but soars, the water flow is turbulent and scary, and there are many more undercurrents, all the boats can not pass through this river, the Jinkou River section is still so, and the other river sections are even more turbulent and cannot be boated.
There was a Shen Shaofan's National Youth Division that seized the opportunity, that is, six scouts sent to the south bank, these six scouts were extremely experienced soldiers, among which Kong Liang was the captain, they hid in a hidden cave during the day and only came out at night to carry out reconnaissance tasks, telling the coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions to the division headquarters, and asking the artillery regiment to carry out uninterrupted artillery bombardment there. Chiang Kai-shek really attached great importance to the battle situation in the county Chuling position, so he also ordered the commander's department to supply ammunition there on a full base, which made the artillery on the position have no worries, and hundreds of shells a day bombed the Japanese artillery position in Jinkou, which was shaken by the ground and the mountains, and the bombing was very accurate. In the first artillery covering, one of the mountain artillery battalions of the devils was almost completely wiped out, which was a very fatal blow to Kawagishi Bunzaburo's plan, and it was also the most critical victory factor in the battle of Chuling in the county.
Takeda Tochen Hatoo hurriedly walked into Kawagishi Bunzaburo's front headquarters, looked at Bunzaburo with very puzzled eyes and said, "When did you decide to cross the river?" ”
Wen Saburo said: "Teacher! The river was so turbulent that there was simply no way for the army to cross it. ”
"Yaga!" The dove scolded: "Do you know how big Chrysostom's daily losses are these days? The corps could not afford such large losses. "But ......" Wen Saburo hasn't gone down yet.
The dove waved his hand and said, "I can't help it, we still need these cannons in the next battle." He sighed and left.
Wen Saburo angrily punched the table and shouted, "Two crossings of the river tomorrow morning!" Yoshito Takagi was not stupid when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency! But now is not the time to cross the river! ”
Wen Saburo said: "I want to let those rice buckets in the staff know that what I Kawagishi Bunzaburo did is true." After walking out of the headquarters and looking at the surging river, there was already a feeling of unease in my heart.
Shen Shaofan also stood on the north bank and looked at the Han River directly, and his heart was also difficult to settle, at this time Sun Zhiyu walked up to him and said: "The reconnaissance team just sent a message, it seems that the devil's artillery is already retreating. ”
Shen Shaofan looked at Sun Zhiyu and said, "It seems that the devil is about to cross the river." Call the troops on the beachhead to start fighting the spirit of 120,000 now. ”
Sun Zhiyu said, "It seems that a fierce battle is about to begin." ”
Shen Shaofan thought about it and said: "I won't go back to the division headquarters today, so I will stay at the front line." ”
When Sun Zhiyu heard it, he said: "In case the devil ......"
Shen Shaofan waved his hand and said, "I just want to wait for the devil to come." ”
Sun Zhiyu thought for a while and said, "Do you want to move the division headquarters over?" Shen Shaofan waved his hand and said: "The devils have an army of more than 100,000, do you think a beachhead on the north bank of Chrysostom can stop them?" When Sun Zhiyu heard this, he said: "Is it ......" Shen Shaofan said: "Now is different from before, now the devil does not have artillery, so he will invest a large number of troops from Chrysostom to break through." ”
Sun Zhiyu lowered his head slightly and said, "I know that I'll go back and prepare for the rest of the matter." ”
In the early morning, Shaofan was still looking at the map in the forward command headquarters when he heard the sound of machine gun fire on the river, which startled Shaofan and shouted: "What's the matter with the communicator?" ”
The correspondent ran in and said, "The master devil has already started to cross the river. ”
Shen Shaofan smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Kawagishi Bunzaburo can't help it." Very good! Shaofan said: "Electric order!" Artillery shelling of the Japanese base non-stop, do not let the artillery base of the devil have all the respite. After picking up the steel helmet and smiling, he said, "Go!" Let's go to the frontier. ”
Song Qing, the head of the guard regiment, said on the side: "Division! Isn't the front too dangerous. ”
Shen Shaofan smiled: "What are you afraid of?" The devil crossed the river and was afraid of him what machine guns and cannons. ”
A soldier in the forward trench looked at the dense boats on the river and smiled: "Good girl! The devil is really enough to play with his life, and he dares to cross the river with such a strong wind and such a big wave. ”
At this time, the sky was drizzling, but the wind was very strong, and the river was rough, and the boats that all the devils were riding in were almost like boats, and they couldn't shoot, and even if there were a few sporadic gunshots, they didn't know how much they deviated. And the position of the National Youth Division is different, the bullets are constantly firing, roaring and blooming countless splashes on the surface of the river.
On the river, the devils stood on the boats and fell down one by one, and some boats were overturned by the big waves without tossing a few times in the river, and they saw the devils sinking and floating in the big waves a few times and there was no trace, and for a time the entire Han River was full of corpses of devils, and the blood almost stained the entire Han River red. The Han River is very narrow, and only two machine guns are needed to block the devils on the river.
Yoshito Takagi shouted from the sidelines, "Kawagishi-kun! Don't rush the casualties are too great. ”
Kawagishi Bunzaburo was already completely insane, and he shouted, "No! The North Shore must be captured within two hours. ”
"But the wind and waves are so great that our tools to cross the river can't hold out to the other side of the river." Yoshitoshi Takagi is humane.
Kawagishi Bunzaburo pondered for a moment and said, "Stop attacking." ”
Takagi Yoshito took a breath and said, "This is a very wise choice for you. ”
Kawagishi Bunzaburo waved his hand and said, "No! We're going to build a pontoon bridge over the river. ”
"Pontoon!" Yoshito Takagi almost fainted when he heard it, and he said, "Kawagishi-kun! You have to be sensible. ”
"No!" At this time, Takeda Tochen Hatoo stood behind them and said, "Kawagishi-kun's method is feasible, using the death squad and the boat to build a pontoon bridge over the river. ”
Yoshito Takagi still hasn't figured out what they are. I saw Kawagishi Bunzaburo and said, "Teacher! I'll go down and get ready. ”
The dove bowed slightly.
The position of the North Shore National Youth League. This beachhead is defended by a battalion of troops led by Zhao Meng, and Zhao Meng is blood is boiling in the battle just now, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he was excited for a long time.
Zhao Meng looked at the devil on the other side of the river and smiled: "Hehe! The devil was wilted by us. ”
Shen Shaofan is naturally not so optimistic, since the Japanese army has begun to attack, it will never be easy to quit the army, and something may happen later.
Before Shaofan's thoughts were finished, he saw a burst of chirping devils from the opposite side of the riverbank, and then saw a group of devils carrying boats upside down, and three people in five rows rushed towards the river.
Zhao Meng was dumbfounded when he saw it on the side and said, "Master!" It's not easy for this devil to be beaten by us. What kind of tactics is this? ”
Shen Shaofan shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it yet." ”
I saw that the devils who carried the boat were all shirtless, and then shouted Long live the emperor, running all the way towards the river, Shaofan could clearly see that the devils immediately swam forward as soon as they got off the river, but they didn't get on the boat, there were many devils who were washed away by the turbulent river, but more devils put down the boat in the river, and then fixed the boat with one thing.
Shen Shaofan looked at it and said, "What are the devils helping on the boat?" ”
Zhao Meng looked at it with a telescope and said, "It's still dark and I can't see clearly." Whatever they do, hit again. "Then I carried the mp40 and shot wildly, and then I saw a burst of fire dancing in the whole trench.
There was a splash of water on the river, and many devils were shot and died, but those devils still held the edge of the boat to a closer look, and their hands were actually tied to the boat, and there were countless metal weights hanging around the boat, as if they had been removed from the cannon that had been charged.
Shen Shaofan looked at it and said, "It's not good! They were building pontoons. ”
"Build a pontoon!" Zhao Meng smiled when he heard this: "The devil is evil, not the powerful firepower of our position, even if it is such a big storm, it is enough for them to endure." ”
Shen Shaofan said: "Look. They are all devil's death squads. They tied the boat together by hand, and even if they were killed, it became a balanced anchor, and what they laid down was to add weight to prevent the death squads who died on one side from overturning the boat. ”
"Huh! It's amazing that a devil can think of such a thing. Zhao Meng said with a smile.
Shen Shaofan naturally didn't dare to shout carelessly: "Notify the mortar to blow up the pontoon bridge." ”
"Yes!" Zhao Meng was about to give an order, when he saw that the other side of the Han River had already shouted and killed, and he saw many devils running towards the boat, but instead of holding a gun in their hands, each person was holding a wooden plank, and as soon as he got on the boat, he threw the wooden plank on it, and then pulled out his katana and rushed towards Shaofan's beachhead.
Shen Shaofan looked at it and shouted: "Quick! The devil is coming. Don't let them rush over the beachhead. Before he finished speaking, he saw that the boat pontoon bridge was already full of devils rushing towards the opposite bank.
This pontoon bridge with the corpses of his own soldiers swaying on the river, but it is several times stronger than the boat of a leaf, and the devils rush towards the opposite bank like crazy as soon as they step on the pontoon bridge, even if the bullets of the national youth division are so dense, it will not help, because there are too many devils, and when the first batch of devils board the beachhead, the devils who go forward and follow each other will rush to the beachhead like a tide.
Kawagishi Bunzaburo exclaimed excitedly from watching on the other side, "Long live the Emperor!" ”
The national youth division is on the beachhead, but it is just a battalion of troops, it is unrealistic to beat the devils in front of you back, Shaofan and all the soldiers are fighting in the trenches, but the number of devils is too much, and a group of dead is rushing up, Shaofan knows that it is absolutely impossible for a battalion of troops to fight hand-to-hand with devils, he ordered to shoot devils with the greatest firepower, and at the last moment, he saw that there were countless devils on the pontoon bridge rushing towards the north bank, so he could only give up the beachhead.
A plaster flag fluttered majestically on the beachhead on the north bank of the Han River, and Kawagishi Bunzaburo stood in the trench left by the National Youth Division and said with a smug smile: "As long as the beachhead on the north bank is captured, then Chuling County is in our bag." ”
At this time, a soldier ran over and said, "Your Excellency, General." We found this in the command of the China. He handed over a map.
Kawagishi Fumizaburo was still proudly unfolding the map, and when he looked at it, his face suddenly turned white, and his hands were still trembling like wall ash.
