The tactics of the Cadet Corps were no different from those on the day of the Fourth, which still relied on the superior firepower of the machine gun company to suppress it, and then the collective charge of the automatic rifles. When Nakajima had just come up with a quilt strategy, he had done a test, and at a distance of about 300 meters, as long as two soaked quilts could effectively block the penetration of machine gun bullets. Two or three Japanese soldiers shared two or even three quilts, and those machine gun bullets hit them, and they really couldn't penetrate. The devils of this brigade are the elite selected by Nakajima himself from each brigade, and when he first accepted this order, he was not sure that the simple armor could protect against machine gun bullets, so most of them joined with the intention of being loyal to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, but now, after personally experiencing the function of quilt protection, the hearts of these devil soldiers finally fell back to their original place, and their morale became high.

"General Nakajima really deserves the title of 'Fox of Long Island', I didn't expect this small quilt to be able to protect against machine gun bullets."

"With these quilts, this beachhead is firmly established, as long as the large army successfully crosses the lake, next, it will be the death of the Hukou Cadet Army! Nagai, let's work together! ”

…… Groups of devils were obscene under the wet quilt, not only did they not feel the slightest discomfort, but their hearts were also burning with a raging fighting spirit, and they all felt that the shame of defeating the student army was just today.

Meng Kailan and Wu Gang's countermeasures were not communicated to the whole army, so the soldiers below were somewhat panicked after discovering that even machine gun bullets could not penetrate the quilt on the little devil's head. The platoon commanders saw it in their eyes, and hurriedly reported to their superiors one by one, and the battalion commanders reported to Wu Gang and Yu Liang: Tuanzao, this can't be done, our bullets can't penetrate those quilts at all, what should we do now? Some people even suggested that since the bullets could not be used, they should simply take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had not yet assembled on a large scale and organize death squads to go up and solve these devils with broadswords.

Meng Kailan's plan is very big, although the number of flamethrowers is very rare, but because of the large area of this type of weapon, thirty of them can already change the situation. When the Japanese discovered that the quilt could not play a protective role and even became a catalyst for the destruction of their own house, at that time, a large number of Japanese troops had already climbed the Shizhongshan river beach.

The battalion commanders received an answer: "The brigade headquarters is trying to figure out a way to tell the soldiers that bullets can't penetrate the quilt and that we still have artillery." So everyone just stick to the belligerent position, and the little devil's intrigues will never succeed. ”

The battle at Hukou entered a stalemate for a while. The little devils were stunned by the quilts and established a beachhead on the Shizhongshan River beach. At the same time, those fishing boats began to pick up the second group of Japanese troops. In order to complete the drama, Wu Gang launched this charge when the second batch of Japanese troops landed, and then, because he couldn't smash those wet quilts, he could only regretfully withdraw back.

Nakajima watched everything that was happening on the Shizhongshan position through a telescope from beginning to end, and it was not until he saw this scene that he made up his mind and began to invest troops on a large scale.

Changling, because of the mutiny of a small number of Taiwanese imperial troops, Kobayashi, the leader of the Hatian detachment, woke up and couldn't trust the Taiwanese officers and soldiers under his command anymore, so he called Okamura Ningji, asking for a certain amount of time to deal with the matter, in case this situation happened again on the battlefield.

Xiao Lin's awakening is relatively stable, and it is said that his way of dealing with it is right. As a matter of fact, since the Cadet Army sent troops to Taiwan to form the Taiwan Corps and formed a prairie fire, the Japanese base camp did not worry about the Taiwanese soldiers, which is also the reason why the Potian detachment has not been able to enter the main battlefield to act as the main force for a long time.

Okamura Ninji wanted to take Madang in one fell swoop, so as to cut off the back road of Anqing's Xuebing Army, and force the Xuebing Army to go north to fight a decisive battle with it. However, Madang was too difficult to bite, coupled with the premature annihilation of the 17th Division and the sneak attack of the Second Air Regiment, which made the number of troops that the old devil could mobilize drop sharply, which invisibly made the partial division of the Potian Detachment important. After receiving Xiaolin's telegram, the old devil was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and scolded Xiaolin on the spot, thinking that if there was an accident in Madang's strategy, it would be Xiaolin's fault, because the Hatian detachment failed to enter the battle in time.

Okamura Ninji is not angry. Originally, he didn't expect to attack Madang so quickly, but Ouyang Yun was too bold and dared to take the initiative to attack Anqing. Now that he was reflecting, he thought that Ouyang Yun was not a good move to do this. When the Xuebing Army entered Anqing, he realized that they actually had so many chariot troops. The chariot unit is one of Ouyang Yun's killer weapons, and if the Second Air Corps continues to exist, the role that these chariots can play is limited. From this point alone, Okamura admires this young opponent very much. Originally, he was a little stunned by Ouyang Yun's sudden move, and he always felt that there was some conspiracy behind it, but now, he was much more at ease. Although the large-scale attack on Anqing by the Xuebing Army successfully destroyed the fighters of the Second Aviation Corps, it also gave him a chance to obtain Madang as soon as possible. At this time, if he still doubts and can't make up his mind, no matter what other people think, he will despise himself.

"Tell Kobayashi, I'll give him three days! If he can't figure it out in three days, then go directly to Nanjing to report! Okamura Ninji dictated to the communications staff officer the call back to Kobayashi.

"Your Excellency, is it necessary to launch an offensive as scheduled?" Another staff officer asked.

"Of course!"

At more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon, in Madang Shengzhou Village, Wang Wanchun, a scout of the 301st Regiment, was lying quietly in a bush of weeds, and suddenly, his eyes widened: "There is a situation!" He shouted loudly to the left, twenty meters away. Lying on his stomach over there was the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, Bian Jingdao, who had also discovered the abnormality, he put down the binoculars and said: "Xiao Wang, you continue to monitor, I will report to the above!" After speaking, he untied the walkie-talkie from behind, and then asked for the regiment headquarters: "Da Fu, Da Fu, I am Xiao Fu, please reply when you receive it!" ”

Soon, there was an echo in the conversation: "Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu, I'm Da Fu, over!" ”

"The enemy situation has been discovered on the other side of position 0, the scale is about one squadron, over!"

"Roger, keep watching, over."

Wangjiang, Zhouwan, Wing Commander Akira Yamauchi of the 11th Engineer Wing of the 11th Division of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Dispatch Army appeared in the river embankment shelter forest with the vanguard. Yamauchi Akira found a place with a better view, picked up the telescope and looked at the opposite bank, he inspected several times, but found no enemy situation, and couldn't help but look worried.

The chief of staff, Captain Hashimoto Wangjun, also put down the binoculars, his expression was not very good, and said: "Your Excellency, it seems that the people of China are very well guarded!" ”

Not a single enemy on the other side was gone, and the two commanders looked nervous, and their men couldn't help but be puzzled. A captain asked, "There is not a single enemy on the other side, where can it be called tight?" ”

Hashimoto looked back at him and said, "Stupid, just because there is no trace of the enemy, such an enemy is the most terrifying. Do you think Ouyang Yun will abandon his position on the other side of the bank and let us land easily? ”

The captain named Kenji Samura closed his mouth.

Yamauchi did not enter into their conversation, he glanced back, the troops were ready, and the troops of the bridge had already ripped off the canopy on the bridge, and he said: "Regardless of the defense of the other side, after the artillery fire has stopped, order the troops to start working!" ”

"Hay!" Several captains replied respectfully at the same time, and then they went down with their respective adjutants and staff officers.

In Okamura Ningji's plan, there was no such thing as feints or tentative attacks, and as soon as they came up, they were pressed by heavy troops, and they tried to take the student army by surprise, and it was best to establish a position on Jiangxinzhou. Because only in this way can he be qualified to use the advantage of local forces to fight for the fortifications of Jiangbei with the Cadet Army.

There were two offensive sites of the 2nd Army, except for the opposite section of Zhouwan and Shengzhou, and then the opposite section of Xiaogushan and Penglangji. Xiaogushan is the only military fortress on the north bank of the Xuebing Army, and because the river where Xiaogushan is located is much wider than that of Zhouwan, it is much more difficult to attack. Actually, Okamura Ninji could have given up this attack point completely, but for the same reason, the existence of Xiao Gushan made it possible for the Xuebing Army to sneak attack from behind, so in order to prevent this from happening, he had to send corresponding troops to attack here. Of course, according to his understanding, because Xiao Gushan also cannot be lost, it can also play a role in forcing the defenders of the fortress to disperse their forces. In this way, it is still very cost-effective to attack both sides at the same time.

Just when Bian Jingdao discovered the enemy situation in Shengzhou, the defenders of Xiaogushan and the scouts of the 307th Regiment of the 9th Brigade also noticed the new movements of the Japanese army under the mountain.

The 307th Regiment is alone in Xiaogushan, and it is the most dangerous unit of the Third Division. During this period, the Japanese army often launched offensive attacks, so Lian Changjiang, the commander of the 307th Regiment, did not pay enough attention to the new situation reported by the scouts at first.

At this moment, Chief of Staff Geng Shu suddenly rushed in with a telegram, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Old Company, the command is calling, let us be vigilant, the Japanese army may launch a general offensive today." ”

The headquarters of Madang Fortress is now under Ouyang Yun himself, and unless there is a major enemy situation, under normal circumstances, they receive orders from the brigade headquarters. Lian Changjiang thought of the situation reported by the scouts just now, and immediately realized that today's attack by the little devils might be real, so he immediately put his helmet on his head, grabbed the telegram, and said: "It seems that the situation reported by Xiao Zhang is true, let's go, let's go to the No. 1 position." ”

As soon as the two men walked out of the headquarters with a few guards, suddenly there was a violent sound of cannonballs in the air, and immediately, the screams of cannonballs filled the eardrums, and the two people looked at each other, and saw a cautious look in each other's eyes, and then accelerated their pace.
