Li Dagang immediately ordered his small detachment to set off toward the tidal flats southwest of the Pukou Fort at the fastest marching speed, and to occupy the fortifications and commanding heights of the forts that had been abandoned before the devils arrived at the forts, so as to seize the opportunity.

Han Fei regretted a little at this time, because he wanted to withdraw and give up this Pukou fort, the brothers of the 79th Army had already blown up the fortress guns on the fort, so as not to fall into the hands of the devils, if these large-caliber fortress guns were still there at this time, then Li Dagang and their use of these huge cannons would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the devil wing under Gu Shoufu who sneaked over from the flank.

But now it's useless to say anything, the cannons in the Pukou Fort and the nearby **** fortifications have already turned into scrap metal in a burst of "boom" sound one after another, it seems that Li Dagang and they can only rely on those submachine guns and a few machine guns in their hands to fight against the swarming Gu Shoufu's subordinates.

When the forward wing under Gu Shoufu touched the river beach only more than ten miles away from the fort, he heard a continuous explosion of "boom" from the front fort, and the Ushijima devil who personally led this wing thought that his whereabouts had been discovered by the Chinese army, and his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinate devil troops to immediately find a nearby place to hide.

But soon he and his subordinate devil officers found that these explosions were not aimed at them, but explosions on the side of the fort, and looking through the telescope, the Pukou fort at this moment was completely submerged in a thick smoke and fire, from which it can be concluded that these explosions must have occurred in the fort, what does this mean? Is the Chinese army going to retreat? Before retreating, destroy all the equipment and facilities that could be taken by the imperial army?

Ushijima Osa was puzzled, and hurriedly sent several reconnaissance detachments to conduct a careful search in the direction of the battery, telling them: "Be sure to find out the real cause of the explosion in the direction of the battery, bring the radio station, and communicate with the command headquarters at any time!" ”

These devil scouts took a group of three people and quickly touched up in the direction of the fort, more than ten miles away, and soon arrived, and these devil scouts saw that the fortress guns and other firepower points here in the fort had all been blown up, and there were no Chinese troops stationed here in the forts and peripheral fortifications, and there were ruins produced after the explosion everywhere, which were messy and messy.

These devil scouts were extremely excited, and the Chinese soldiers stationed in the fort had already run away! For them, it was a good thing that fell from the sky, the troops of the Ushijima devils could almost take the fort and the nearby peripheral fortifications without much effort, although the cannons and fortifications on the fort had been blown up by the Chinese army, but Ushijima's own artillery, although it was some light mortars and grenadiers, but on the fort, it could condescendingly carry out a devastating blow to the nearby Pukou Railway Station, so that Pukou could be taken down in a while!

The devil scout was excited, hurriedly turned on the radio station he brought with him, and reported the situation of the fort to the devil on Niudao, it was this telegram that made Li Dagang, who hurried to intercept the devil, immediately obtained the location of the devil, and his two communication brothers immediately intercepted this telegram, afraid that they would not have the equipment and experience to decipher this telegram for a while, Li Dagang decided to let them immediately forward this telegram to the "fox" who was retreating to northern Jiangsu, so that he could decipher it as soon as possible, and forward it back immediately!

After receiving the telegram forwarded, the "fox" immediately deciphered it with his subordinates, and found that the encoding method of this telegram was still the same as before, and the "fox" quickly found the way, and in less than ten minutes, they completely deciphered this devil's telegram, and immediately forwarded it to Li Dagang, and according to the radio direction provided by Li Dagang, it was roughly determined that the main force of the devils who were coming now was a place called Yurotan on a map more than ten miles southwest of them!

Li Dagang immediately opened the map and found that there was no place called Yuroe Beach on the map in hand! was so angry that he scolded again and again: "Grandma, what a broken map, there is a blank near this side of the river beach, there is nothing, those who are engaged in surveying should be killed!" ”

Fortunately, the brother next to him reminded him: "This map is not accurate, it is estimated that it is not as accurate as the little devil, don't use this, Major Wang and their troops have been stationed here for a lot of time, why don't you ask them, are there any people who know this place?" ”

Li Dagang slapped his thigh: "That's right, how did I forget the men and horses of the 79th Army, communication soldiers, immediately contact Major Wang, and ask him to send a few brothers who are familiar with the terrain here!" ”

After Major Wang received the urgent telegram from Li Dagang, he immediately understood what he meant, so he selected two locals who were familiar with the terrain in this area from his troops to ride over, and soon rushed to Li Dagang's side. ”

The two brothers nodded hurriedly: "You know, we fished there before we became soldiers." ”

"Okay, you take us there right away, there's a devil there!" Li Dagang hurriedly said.

"Ah, there's a devil over there?" The two brothers looked surprised and looked incredible, Li Dagang saw it and said impatiently: "What? Why don't you lead the way? Want to wait for the little devil to catch up? ”

"No, sir, we wonder if there's something wrong with this information? There will be a big tide flooding up every other full moon night on the side of the fish roe beach, and the tidal flats over there are usually very strong, but as long as the tide passes, it becomes muddy, and the devils stay there to find death, can the devil army be so stupid? We are suspicious of this. "The two brothers are local fishermen, they know the geography and tides here, the fishermen make a living from fishing, and they have to sweat a lot of fish and shrimp every day to barely make a living, and they must be quite familiar with the tides and mudflats on the riverside, otherwise it is estimated that they have not caught fish and shrimp, and their lives will be resting on the riverbank, which is their way of survival, and it is also the experience of their older generation in exchange for their lives.

As soon as Li Dagang heard this, he immediately became interested: "Is this really the case?" Is it because the devil doesn't know the tide situation on the other side of the fish roe beach? This shouldn't be, the devils know more about the terrain here than we do, but they have a lot of eyeliner and spies moving here? Would you do such a stupid thing? ”
