Luo Yuming was in a private house on the north side of the gate station on the north bank of the Qiantang River, followed by two guards and four staff officers of the brigade headquarters.

After marching overnight, the regiment finally arrived at the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal Iron Bridge in the east of Hangzhou at one o'clock in the afternoon. But when Luo Yuming and his people rushed to Nanxing Station at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, the battle ahead was over.

The Japanese army easily took the defensive position of the 1st Security Division in the north of the bridge, which made Luo Yuming unexpected, and hurriedly asked the troops to spread along the south bank of Xihu Lake, the line of Phoenix Mountain and Jiangtai Mountain, blocking the passage of the Japanese army to Hangzhou in the north.

Luo Yuming picked up the binoculars and looked ahead.

The Qiantang River Bridge is in front of you, and the houses are one kilometer away from the Japanese defensive positions, and this kilometer is almost all railways and highways, unobstructed, and the Japanese infantry guns and heavy machine guns have already settled in the center of the defensive positions built along the White Pagoda and the Liuhe Tower.

Luo Yuming pondered for a while, called Major Zhu Tao, deputy commander of the Third Regiment of the First Security Division, who was found by the officers and soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company near the Monk Cave at the foot of Lotus Peak, and briefly inquired about the situation of the Japanese army, and then the two hid behind a window, Luo Yuming pointed to the Japanese position and asked: "Deputy Commander Zhu, do you want to avenge your regiment commander?"

Zhu Tao said angrily: "As long as I can avenge the head of the regiment, you can do whatever I want."

"Okay, it's a man"

Luo Yuming patted Zhu Tao's shoulder heavily and said, "Although you and your officers and soldiers did not flee from the battle, you have lost such an extremely important strategic place as the Qiantang River Bridge after all. Now I hope that your people can work with our new second division to recapture the Qiantang River Bridge, do you dare to take this risk? ”

The great exploits of the New Second Division have long been spread throughout the land of China, but all soldiers take the New Second Division as an example. Previously, the three regiments were attacked by the Japanese army and Fang De's department, and the commander of the Chen regiment and the battalion commander Wang were assassinated, and Zhu Tao had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat, originally he planned to make a detour to the south bank of the West Lake and return to Hangzhou, not wanting to meet the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company of the first regiment of the new second division that was investigating the movements of the Japanese army.

Luo Yuming's plan was very simple, that is, to use Zhu Tao and his officers and men of the Third Security Regiment to attract the Japanese troops from the position, and when the time came, the officers and men of the Third Battalion who went around the front line of Hupao Mountain and Daci Mountain in the rear of the Japanese army launched a fierce attack from the flank, while the officers and men of the first battalion hidden in the Third Security Regiment quickly attacked, swept the Japanese army with the advantage of close combat, and then drove the fleeing Japanese soldiers to attack their own defensive line.

After listening to Luo Yuming's plan, Zhu Tao nodded without hesitation and agreed. In his opinion, it is a great honor to fight side by side with the new Second Division, although there is a certain danger, but as long as he can avenge the regiment commander, all the efforts are worth it.

Half an hour later, in the northeast direction of the Japanese position, the smoke of Nana rose up, and with the cold northeast wind in winter, it quickly spread to the Japanese position, and the smell of smoke became thicker and thicker, choking the Japanese soldiers with tears and coughing.

"Yaga, what's going on?"

The captain of the Sonoda co-captain rushed out of the bridgehead command post and asked loudly to the left and right.

Fang De, who followed Sonoda like a pug, pointed to the foot of Jiangtai Mountain, and Sonoda Nakasa's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he hurriedly picked up the binoculars and pierced through the smoke, just in time to see several officers and soldiers of the security regiment lighting up the dead branches and leaves piled up there. In addition, there were also bursts of smoke rising in the forests of Jiangtai Mountain and the nearby Lotus Peak and Phoenix Mountain, and there were many people hiding in the forest.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road"

Sonoda Kameura scolded loudly, and when he saw that the person who lit the fire was wearing the same military uniform as Fang De, he turned around angrily, stared at Fang De and asked fiercely: "They are clearly your people who said, why do you want to smoke the Imperial Japanese Army?" ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding"

Fang De was startled, and waved his hand again and again, he had become a traitor and could only hug the thigh of the Japanese now, and explained: "Your Excellency, our Zhejiang security forces all wear such military uniforms, and I recognize one of the people who lit the fire, it is Zhu Tao, the deputy head of the Third Security Regiment who was defeated by the imperial army before, I think they are extremely angry about the loss of their position, and they can't think of coming back to make some small moves, so as to let out a bad breath."

"Nani? These cowards even dare to come, living impatiently? ”

Seeing that there were not many people at the foot of the mountain in front of him, Sonoda Kameura suddenly drew his saber and ordered the lieutenant standing aside: "Uemura-kun, you immediately lead your squadron to attack and destroy the enemy in a clean and clean land." Remember, by cutting off all their heads and building them into a Kyoto Temple, I will let the people of Shina know how miserable it is to anger the Imperial Japanese Army."

"Hail"

The lieutenant bowed, then rushed to the edge of the trench, beckoned to the soldiers, and when the people gathered a little, he screamed and rushed towards the foot of the mountain of Jiangtai, which was emitting billowing smoke.

The captain of the Sonoda United said to Fang De: "Fang Dejun, you also lead your subordinates to attack together"

"Huh?"

Fang De was stunned for a moment, he shot the black guns of Chen Dazhi, the commander of the third regiment, and Wang Lin, the commander of the first battalion, now the officers and soldiers of the third regiment must be eager to drink his blood and eat his flesh, how can they throw themselves into the net?

"What? Yours...... Unwilling to fight for the Imperial Japanese Army? ”

Sonoda Kameura's two eyes shot a cold light, and he saw Fang De's cold hair upside down.

"Yes, of course I do." Fang De had a bitter face, a helpless expression. He and his subordinates usually bully the common people, but when they really fight, they don't make sense. Previously, he was able to succeed in defeating Chen Dazhi and Wang Lin, but the other party was defenseless, coupled with the ferocious offensive of the Japanese army, so he was lucky to succeed.

But Sonoda Kameura's order, Fang De couldn't help but obey.

"Huh?"

Sonoda Nakasa was not satisfied, snorted coldly, and said sharply: "You don't want to go quickly?" ”

"Okay, okay, can't I go?"

Fang De nodded and bowed, not wanting to be kicked to the ground by the angry Sonoda Nakasa, Fang De held back his anger, got up from the ground with a disgraced face, hurried to the rear of the position to greet Yi Yu Dogleg, and then followed the Japanese army to attack the foot of Jiangtai Mountain.

Wei Gang, commander of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the New 2nd Division, had just touched the foot of Jiangtai Mountain with his people, and was taken to Deputy Regiment Commander Zhu by the liaison officer. Major Zhu grabbed Wei Gang and pointed to the rear of the Japanese army:

"Battalion Commander Wei, as long as you can avenge our Regiment Commander Chen and kill Fang De, a traitor, your new second division will be the great benefactor of our third security regiment. In the future, wherever we can be used, even if we go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, we will not frown."

"Don't worry, Fang De will not end well if he defects against the enemy." Wei Gang glanced at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing up, turned around and beckoned the officers and soldiers of the first battalion in the forest to hide.

The Japanese rushed to a distance of 400 meters, and the infantry artillery began to roar, and the screaming shells fell into the mountains and forests of Jiangtai Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, and the Lianhua Peak next to it, splashing huge fires, but because the smoke was too large, the Japanese artillery could not accurately locate it, and the damage to the Chinese officers and soldiers in the forest was almost zero.

"Yaga, attack, attack, you must kill the people of China" Captain Uemura shouted loudly, and the Japanese soldiers under his command ran fast.

Seeing that the devil in front of him was getting closer and closer, none of the Chinese officers and soldiers in the mountains and forests fired a shot.

Although the people of the new second division were around, in the face of the Japanese attack, the officers and soldiers of the third security regiment were still panicked, Zhu Tao fanned the smoke in front of him with his hand, and turned his head to look at Wei Gang. Wei Gang's face sank like water, his eyes stared at the Japanese army, silently calculating the distance, and he didn't look scared at all, on the contrary, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, just like a person who didn't know the taste of meat for half a year suddenly saw a piece of oily braised pork.

Zhu Tao, who had led soldiers as a battalion commander, was ashamed for a while, and with Wei Gang's calm performance, Zhu Tao knew how unqualified he was.

Seeing that the Japanese army rushed to a distance of 100 meters from the smoke point at the foot of the mountain, Wei Gang raised his hand, fired a shot into the sky, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, rush"

Before Zhu Tao could react, Wei Gang rushed out of the forest with a submachine gun like a swift leopard.

"Kill!"

The officers and men of the battalion that followed closely behind rushed out like the wind, shouting and killing to the earth.

In the smoke, before the charging Japanese soldiers could react, a shower of grenades suddenly fell on their heads, and Captain Uemura stopped and looked at the smoking grenades under his feet in horror, his face turned pale.

A "boom" explosion sounded, and Squadron Leader Uemura and more than 20 Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were blown to pieces.

By the time the Japanese saw the situation ahead clearly and woke up, the distance between us and the enemy was less than 20 meters. The officers and men of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the New 2nd Division, who rushed to the front, raised the submachine guns in their hands and swept wildly at the Japanese soldiers. After firing a magazine, the officers and men immediately stepped aside, and the fighters with light machine guns in the back immediately rushed out, pulled the trigger with their fingers, and there was another burst of strafing fire......

The bullets were as impenetrable as water, and the Japanese troops fell one after another. Such a sharp attack stunned the Japanese army at once, and then these merchants and fishermen from Osaka, who were good at fighting with the wind, no longer cared about anything else, like the low tide of the sea rushing towards the Japanese position.

Wei Gang led more than 600 officers and soldiers in pursuit, but at this time they had raised the muzzle of their guns a little, and the dense bullets swept over the heads of the Japanese rout, and the panicked devil soldiers fled faster.

Faced with this sudden scene, Sonoda Nakasa was a little dumbfounded, and then he came to his senses and roared at the heavy machine gun position and infantry artillery position: "Kill and give, shoot"

"But...... Our people are in front."

The Japanese captain who commanded the heavy machine gun position was a little at a loss, and now that the soldiers of the two armies were mixed, the machine gunners did not dare to shoot easily, otherwise they would definitely be their own people who would be killed first.

The Japanese infantry gunners were adjusting their shooting at Zhu Yuan, and a loud charge horn sounded, and the rear of the Japanese position, the line of Hupao Mountain and Daci Mountain, suddenly rushed out of countless Chinese soldiers, they were vigorous, like wolves and tigers, and the speed of the attack was extremely fast, rushing towards the Japanese position.

The captain commanding the heavy machine-gun position did not hesitate too much, and immediately ordered the machine gunners to adjust their direction and fire wildly at the officers and men of the New 2nd Division who rushed down from the mountain.

Due to the suppression of the Japanese heavy machine guns, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the officers and men of the New Second Division, who launched an attack from the mountains behind the position, fell to the ground from time to time.

Although Luo Yuming was distressed, he couldn't care so much at this time, and he put all his attention on the front.

Due to the fact that there were routs in front of them as shields, and the Japanese heavy machine guns had to suppress the attack from behind, Wei Gang's battalion soon broke into the Japanese position, and victory was already sealed at this moment.

Because the officers and men of the New Second Division had a huge advantage in close combat, the officers and men of the 1st Battalion were like sharp daggers, killing the Japanese positions from east to west.

The officers and men of the 3rd Battalion, who attacked from behind, took the opportunity to follow up, and in less than 30 minutes, the battle ended smoothly, and Sonoda Kameura was killed on the spot.

When Luo Yuming came to the bridgehead of the Qiantang River Bridge, Han Tiecheng had already led the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the devil captives who had laid down their weapons one by one were held in the trenches, with panic and anxiety on their faces.

Although the Japanese position was taken, the casualties of the first regiment were not small, the three battalions that attacked from Hupao Mountain and Daci Mountain suffered more than 200 casualties, and Wei Gang's first battalion also suffered more than 100 casualties.

"Boom-"

A strong explosion came from the Qiantang River Bridge, and in a thick burst of gunsmoke, the Qiantang River Bridge collapsed like a giant dragon.

The people who were still very excited just now fell silent, the Qiantang River Bridge was the first bridge independently designed by the Chinese, but now it was blown up by their own hands, I have to say that this is a shameless thing for the soldiers who defend their homes and defend the country.

Seeing that the morale was low, Luo Yuming thought about it and jumped to the trench, and said loudly to the officers and soldiers:

"Shizuo once told me that if we blow up a bridge on the Qiantang River, when we defeat the Japanese, we will build ten or 100 bridges as majestic as the Qiantang River Bridge."
