With the Japanese army of Shima U Nakasa with an infantry brigade rushed to the north bank of the Ci River, after meeting with Abekyo Shaozo and Yu Zhishan.

The three of them immediately followed the instructions of Saburo Kishibe, and began to send puppet troops to the surrounding coastal villages to arrest Chinese civilians, and to work as coolies to build bridges for them.

On the side of the Dragon's Tooth First Regiment, Jiang Haidong led the main force of the three battalions that had just arrived at the front line secretly, bypassed the main battlefield area of the confrontation between the two sides, and began to advance in a roundabout way in the direction of Xinle on the north bank of the Cihe River

Qiao Youhua and Liu Jianhua also led the cavalry battalion to cross the railway between Zhengtai and Xinle again, and after receiving Jiang Haidong's battle plan telegram, they entered the Japanese puppet army twenty miles east of the temporary hidden, waiting for the news that Jiang Haidong and the third battalion were in place.

About an hour later, several officers under Yu Zhishan led people to arrest a group of nearby civilians and began to dig earth and rock from the north bank to fill the river, intending to temporarily build a simple earthen bridge over the Ci River.

Due to the urgency of time, he could no longer let the puppet army arrest people, and after discussing with Abekyo Shaoza, Daoyu Nakasa and Abe Jing Shaozo decided to directly let the more than 4,000 puppet troops in Yuzhishan also devote themselves to the river reclamation operation.

Japanese infantry and tanks were responsible for guarding and covering the south bank.

Yu Zhishan did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered his officers to follow the order.

More than 1,000 civilians captured by them and more than 4,000 puppet soldiers, totaling more than 5,000 people, began to fill the river under the deterrence of the Japanese army's bayonets and machine guns.

With such a big movement of the Japanese puppet army, it is naturally impossible to hide the ears and eyes of the dragon's teeth on the south bank.

After Liu Yidao, deputy commander of the regiment, received the news, he immediately took the guard company and the artillery company directly under the regiment headquarters and quietly rushed to the forward position of the first battalion.

The commander of the first battalion, Scarface, and the deputy battalion commander Cheng Cai rushed to greet them, and after the two sides met, they immediately came to the front trench along the communication trench.

Scarface angrily pointed to the dusty and complaining other bank, and said to Liu Yidao: "Big brother, you see, the little devil and the second devil raised by the son of a son of a dog have arrested more than 1,000 people and built a bridge for them!" ”

Deputy battalion commander Cheng Cai also said angrily: "The most ironic thing is that these two devils who worked for the tiger were also used as coolies by the little devils in the end, and they filled the river and built bridges with the people they captured. This is really a distressing phenomenon, fellow Chinese, trying their best to help the Japanese invaders persecute and oppress their comrades.

In the end, I never thought that the Japanese devils didn't treat them as human beings at all, and what was the difference between them, the Imperial Allied Army wearing yellow skins and holding weapons, and ordinary Chinese people? ”

Liu Yidao slammed his fist on the cover in front of him one by one, gritted his teeth and said, "These bastards are so hateful!" Scar, pass my order, concentrate all the artillery fire of the artillery company directly under the regiment and the first and second battalions, and beat him up for a bitch! ”

For Scarface, he will not question or discount the orders of the two people, one is Qiao Youhua, and the other is his eldest brother Liu Yidao.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Cheng Cai, the deputy battalion commander sent by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to support the construction and development of the Dragon Tooth Column, raised his hand to stop him.

"Battalion commander, wait a minute." After Cheng Cai stopped him, he said to Liu Yidao, who was angry: "Deputy Regiment Commander Liu, please don't be impulsive, fire now, I'm afraid it will hurt those innocent people." ”

Liu Yidao glanced back at Cheng Cai, and said in a deep voice: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cheng, do you think that if we don't open fire, those innocent people will be spared?" ”

"This ......" Cheng Cai was speechless, the intuition of the soldiers, the inhumane style of the devil, sue him that he will not.

Liu Yidao said with grief in his tone: "I sue you, no!" Since the moment they were captured by those **** traitors and puppet army, their fate has been sealed! No matter whether the bridge is built or not, the vicious devils and the two devils will kill them brutally.

And in front of our dragon's tooth and all the soldiers of the regiment, let you watch your compatriots being slaughtered, and you are helpless! ”

Saying this, Liu Yidao gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Instead of this, it is better for us to take the initiative to fire and let as many miscellaneous traitors and devils as possible to bury them!" ”

"But we can't shoot at our own people!" Cheng Cai couldn't bear to say in his heart.

"Petropolitan! Do you wait for them to help the devils build a bridge, and wait for the devils to kill them, and then start fire? Do you know that once the devils cross the river and break through our defensive line, ten, or a hundred times as many people in the base area will be killed by the Japanese army!

Hurry up with the right to do the lesser of both worlds! Liu Yidao roared angrily with red eyes, if there was a choice, how could he bear to give the order to fire?

In fact, as a military commander, he must take the lesser of both worlds and make the least dangerous decision, because if he doesn't fire the cannon, when the devil builds the bridge, he will have many casualties if he puts aside a mess.

It will also lead the entire base defense line to open, and Jiang Haidong's ambush plan will fail!

Cheng Cai understood that what Liu Yidao said was reasonable, so he had to turn to the little devils on the other side with anger, and he hated to immediately lead the troops to attack and kill all those hateful Japanese invaders.

Seeing that Cheng Cai didn't say anything more, Scarface patted him on the shoulder, and went to give orders instead.

After receiving the order, the artillery company directly under the regimental headquarters and some mortars equipped with the first battalion and the second battalion quickly assembled together, and more than 20 60mm mortars lined up behind the infantry position.

With the wave of the command flag of an artillery company commander, the main gunners loaded the prepared shells into the barrels, and after a burst of shell smoothbore sounds, followed by tom to......m to A barrage of shells being fired out of the muffled sound of being discharged!

More than 20 high-explosive bombs rose into the air one after another, cutting through the scorching arcs of scarlet fire over the Cihe River, and falling towards the opposite bank with a piercing whistling sound.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Violent explosions one after another suddenly rang out one after another, and the shells mainly fell on the crowd of puppet soldiers, who were more numerous.

Wherever the raging shock wave passed, the puppet soldiers who were caught off guard fell down with screams, and even two devils were directly hit by cannonballs, blown apart, and flew sideways.

The Japanese troops who were supervising in the rear retreated in shock, and the Japanese commanders Shima U Nakasa and Abe Kyo Shaosa hurriedly got out of the temporary command post.

"Baga Yalu, what's going on?" Shima Nakasa asked angrily.

"Sir, the people on the other side of the bank are shelling the river filling crowd again!" A devil lieutenant replied.

Daoyu, Abejing, Yu Zhishan and others raised their binoculars and looked forward, and the scene they saw was the picture of the puppet army being blown up to the flesh and blood, screaming and dodging in all directions.

The corners of Yu Zhishan's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he said secretly, the eight roads on the other side are really ruthless, and there are still many civilians here.

Daoyu Nakasa put down the binoculars angrily, turned his head to Abe Jing and Yu Zhishan, and said, "Abe-kun, Yu Sang, please immediately order your tanks and artillery to open fire and return fire!" ”
