Maehara's mortar salvo tactics were very successful. The two regiments or so of the 12th Division and the 36th Brigade on the north bank suffered heavy casualties in this shelling. In just about ten minutes, at least 1,000 students fell in a pool of blood, including Qiao Benshan, the chief of staff of the 12th Division. And Qiao Benshan has also become the highest-ranking officer who has sacrificed since the establishment of the Cadet Army.

Qiao Benshan's sacrifice is valuable, and the voice of the last man in the world for whom he gave his life reminded Qian Shuanglin and other officers. Qian Shuanglin was the commander of the 127th Regiment and the highest-ranking officer below Qiao Benshan on the North Bank.

The invading artillery fire came so suddenly, but the bonfires on the river beach provided light for the enemy in the dark. As the fires caused by the explosion continued to increase, there was no blind spot on the river beach where the North Shore Cadet Army was located. When the mortar fire sounded, Qian Shuanglin reacted, but what he wanted was to organize the troops to find the enemy hiding in the dark. Qiao Benshan's words reminded him that in this situation, if he organized troops to counterattack, it was estimated that he would have run out of mortars before he rushed in front of the enemy.

"Brothers, don't run around, get into the water, get into the water, run into the river!" He shouted loudly, heard a groan at his feet, and quickly picked up the wounded warrior and ran towards the river.

Qian Shuanglin stood up to organize, and the battalion and company commanders who were stunned immediately reacted, and they organized the soldiers around them to run towards the river, and the trainees of the company closest to the river quickly plunged into the icy river. The company belonged to the 127th Regiment, and they stayed by the river because they were tasked with receiving the troops crossing the river. The company commander Yu Changhai was very shrewd, and after leading the soldiers into the river, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, go to the left, quickly!" ”

The left side is farther away from the campfire, just enough to split the enemy's view. However, when the flares rose into the sky, Yu Changhai knew that the enemy had already prepared, and the enemy's purpose was not only to inflict heavy damage on them, but also to annihilate them completely.

"Get down, brothers, get down!" Yu Changhai said, taking the lead and lying on the river beach. He buried all his body except his face in the water, he looked at his brothers who were still being slaughtered on the river beach, his heart was like a knife, his hands were fiercely caught in the river beach, and he didn't feel the pain when the nail of his right index finger was broken by a pebble—the great mental pain took over his body and mind, and if he could, how much he wanted to rush ashore and shoot at the enemy, but what made him more and more painful was that so far he didn't even know who the enemy was.

On the south bank, Jiang Hongming held back his tears, shook Ye Zhao's left arm vigorously, and said, "Old Ye, old Ye, think of a way!" Lao Ye, you can't go on like this! Suddenly, he rushed into the river like crazy, and shouted loudly at the center of the river: "Gao Yongxiang, come back, come back quickly!" Gao Yongxiang, come back the fuck! Come back soon! ”

The commander of this group of troops crossing the river was none other than Gao Yongxiang, the brigade commander of the 36th Brigade. Today it was a northeast wind, and Gao Yongxiang and the others had already arrived in Jiangxin at this time, so although Jiang Hongming's voice was broken, Gao Yongxiang couldn't hear a word.

When the abnormal change on the north shore was prominent, Gao Yongxiang's initial reaction was no different from Ye Zhao's. Through the telescope, he saw the process of Qiao Benshan's sacrifice more clearly. Then, suddenly, he shouted loudly to the cadets on the raft: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Suspecting that the cadets were slow, he walked to the edge of the raft, snatched the plank from one of the cadets, and rowed it himself.

Ten minutes later, the shelling finally ended. And Ye Zhao finally calmed down, he first asked Jiang Hongming, who had already shouted hoarsely, back to the shore, and then said to the deputy division commander Chang Zhiguo: "No matter what method you use, find a few boats as soon as possible, I want to cross the river!" ”

Chang Zhiguo was in charge of the specific crossing of the river, and when this happened on the north bank, his heart was also dripping with blood, but he kept enough sobriety to say: "Master, wait a minute, we don't even know who the enemy is now. Shiza - Okay, okay, I'll go. ”

Ye Zhao suddenly turned his head and glared at him, he saw Ye Zhao's iron-blue face, realized that he couldn't provoke him now, took a step back, and then left in a hurry with a few staff officers.

On the north bank, in a crop field about 600 meters east of the river beach gathering place of the Cadet Army, Maehara Seishitin suggested to Yoshio Jozuka: "Division commander, it seems that there is no artillery unit stationed on the south bank of the Shina people. Well, the size of this cadet army should be a brigade. Your Excellency, see if we have given the people any hope of rescuing the troops on the north bank, and only sent our 10th Wing to attack. Based on my understanding of the Cadet Army, if they find out that we only have one wing, they will definitely send troops to the rescue, and at that time, we will all be dispatched to completely annihilate the Cadet Army. ”

Maehara Shengmin's words actually have ulterior motives. In his opinion, without artillery support, no matter how many cadet soldiers there are on the south bank, it is impossible to continue to cross the river. This also means that the only thing that the 10th Division can achieve in the end is these cadets on the north shore. Then, rather than sharing this fruit with everyone, it is better to let yourself swallow it alone.

I don't know if Yoshio did think he was reasonable, or heard his voiceover and wanted to fulfill him, after thinking for two minutes, Tiaozuka said: "You can try to do this, after the shelling just now, there is only about one regiment left in the Zhina, and they have no fortifications to defend, even if they are surrounded and annihilated, one of your wings is enough." There, commander, I'll explain. ”

Daiki Maehara: "Your Excellency, then it's troublesome!" ”

Jozuka smiled at him, and then under the escort of a team of military police, he went to look for Nishio Shouzo.

The shelling was not endless, which made Qian Shuanglin's hanging heart finally let go. He was not afraid of death, in fact, after the initial panic, the mood of the cadets quickly stabilized, and after getting rid of the fear of death, they lurked in the icy water as a company, each of them full of thoughts about striking the enemy in order to avenge the sacrifice of their comrades.

Two flares rose into the sky in a row, and with a red flare rising into the sky from the west, the next moment, there was a shouting of killing and the dense sound of machine guns from the east - the enemy finally appeared, it was actually the Japanese, after confirming the identity and number of the enemy, Ye Zhao on the south bank was slightly relieved - although I don't know where this Japanese army came from, but since it is not the national army of the Central Army or other factions, and there is only the size of a wing, then, let's fight happily! Blood debt and blood to taste, the moment the little devils sneak attacked, did they ever think that from this moment on, they would fall into the fierce revenge of the student army! Lose his mother, a wing dares to sneak attack Lao Tzu's brigade, the little devils are getting more and more bold, have they forgotten the lessons of the Battle of Nanjing? Ye Zhao naturally thought about it so angrily, not realizing that on the north shore, a trap woven by the Japanese with ulterior motives was waiting for him.

On the north shore, when the unique color of the little devil's military uniform appeared in the eyes of Qian Shuanglin and the others, they stopped gritting their teeth, cheered up one by one, and devoted their whole body and mind to the battle that was about to start.

It's a strange psychology, although the shelling just now made them suffer heavy losses, but after discovering that the enemy was Japanese, the cadets were not frightened by it, nor did they continue to curse - a sense of superiority quickly filled their hearts, and they now think more about how many devils they can kill, and how many devils they have to kill to avenge their comrades. From Qian Shuanglin to the new soldiers, they did not realize that the enemy was several times their own, and that they might die in this battle, as if they could win the battle with the Japanese.

"Lose his mother, it's actually a little devil!" On the raft, Gao Yongxiang handed the plank to its owner, stood up and looked at the devil soldier who was advancing on the cat's waist, and sneered with his hands on his waist.

"The little devils of the dog day actually dare to sneak up on us! Damn it, these devils are all damned! ”

"Brothers, paddle hard! You can't let all the battle achievements be taken by the brothers on the North Shore! ”

…… is worthy of being a comrade-in-arms of a division, the cadets on the north bank and the cadets on the raft actually have a heart, and even what they think is actually a pattern.

The only one who is worried is Jiang Hongming. Perhaps because there were fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield in person, or perhaps because he had not participated in the Battle of Nanjing, the temporary superiority of the Japanese army in strength made him very worried about the officers and soldiers on the north bank. He said to Ye Zhao: "Maybe you are right, I don't know if they can hold on to our past." ”

Ye Zhao was full of confidence in it, and he said viciously: "It must be okay, lose his mother, Lao Tzu wants to let the little devil steal the chicken without losing the rice this time." Lose his mother, thinking that his team is easy to bully, Lao Tzu is going to beat their and urine this time! ”

Ye Zhao was moved, and he was really angry. And who exactly this anger was aimed at, but his heart was a little confused - the information provided by the command and the intelligence detected by the scouts showed that there were no Japanese troops on the other side, but now, such a Japanese army came out. The most hateful thing is that he actually beat himself up for a sneak attack!

On the north shore, under a poplar tree, after listening to Yoshio Jozuka's report, he looked at the dark south bank and said, "Maehara's analysis is very reasonable, and it is not a good plan to lure the enemy. Based on my understanding of the Cadet Army, adhering to Ouyang Yun's style, most of the officers of the Cadet Army are very protective of their shortcomings, and once they find out that our army has only one wing, they will definitely dispatch all the troops to rescue them. Hehe, I regretted that we could only annihilate such a small number of enemies, so that we should be able to completely annihilate this apprentice! If this battle is successful, Maehara's credit should be in the first place! ”

"Your Excellency is wise! It is only under the command of Your Excellency that Maehara can exert his full abilities! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" Enjoying the ass that Strip Tsuka patted over, Nishio Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, and he was very proud for a while.
