Changing Zhang Tianquan's Eighth Division to Xu Zhi's First Guerrilla Division was a terrible decision in Connor's opinion. According to common sense, a pure artillery unit with one step and two artillery pieces like the Eighth Division should be placed behind the main force and used as a vitality export force. "Has he forgotten to learn the lesson of the 2nd Division's tank unit being bombed by Japanese planes? Or is it because of 'missiles'? Connor thought so, and did not question Ouyang Yun's decision again.

"I'm just an outsider," he said with self-deprecation.

At about a quarter of five o'clock, on the Xiushui River opposite Yongxiu County, the battle started first.

A brigade sent by the 17th Division to make a sneak attack almost failed to detect the size of the defenders on the opposite side, and was almost wiped out. Here, Zhang Tianquan only ambushed a company. But a company of cadets plus a hundred mines, plus not a rock-solid ice, is enough to send this brigade of devils to Xiushui Hebo.

When Nishimura Toyoye Shaoza stepped on the ice with a large group of soldiers, Yokoyama's eyes were firmly locked on the opposite shore. Not only him, but Okamura Ninji, Yoshimoto Sadaji, Nakajima Jingcun and others, although not everyone looked there, their ears were not paying attention to it all the time.

Yesterday afternoon, the reconnaissance of the First Air Corps was very effective, and they had a full view of the deployment of the cadet corps in Yongxiu, Nanchang, Xiangshan, Gao'an, Anyi, and Tanxi, and even the nature and scale of the troops were clearly investigated. And Okamura felt that even the most conservative estimate could annihilate the enemy army in Eishu Prefecture.

The camouflage skills of the cadet soldiers and the engineers once again performed a miraculous feat, and the Japanese reconnaissance plane pilots saw that the Eighth Division was just an ordinary unit with an artillery regiment, and the Yu Gan, who was skimming at a low altitude, only found a regiment of cadets.

Speaking of which, the Japanese reconnaissance was quite successful, they just ignored the total of about three divisions of the Cadet Corps, of course, considering that they failed to discover the detailed scale of the Cadet Corps tanks and artillery units, the large-scale reconnaissance organized by Tokugawa Yoshitoshi seemed a bit child's play.

The cold wave was indeed an opportunity for the Japanese army, but it was also a natural trap.

More than a hundred mines exploded in a row, not to mention the power of the explosion itself, which caused an ice hole, which was enough for the little devils to drink a pot.

It is said that after the Japanese expelled the Eighth Division from the territory of Eishu, Okamura Ninji shed tears of grief when he inspected the battlefield, and Yoshimoto Sadaji fell directly on his knees on the ice - although this is conjectural, it is only a slight exaggeration. More than 1,000 devils led by Nishimura Fengye, who had high hopes, were killed by mines, and only more than 200 people were killed by Weiqing-style assault rifles, but nearly 700 people fell into the water and died, including more than 200 who were frozen on the ice and frozen to death alive - such a degree of non-combat attrition is indeed enough to make Okamura and Yoshimoto, who made this decision, kowtow to tears and apologize. Of course, considering that the 17th Tank Brigade of the 17th Division has a wing with a total of nearly 50 of the latest Type 99 tanks and more than 30 armored vehicles that were directly confiscated by Shushui Hebo for the same reason, Okamura and Yoshimoto may just regret that they did not discover this "conspiracy" of the Cadet Army earlier.

A flare suddenly rose into the air, and the next moment, more than 100 mines exploded one after another, and then the sound of gunfire rang out, and in just five minutes, when there were only sporadic flames left on the surface of the river, the Japanese raid actually stopped moving. While Okamura, Isamu Yokoyama, and others were surprised, they saw the light of a flashlight suddenly flickering on the riverside on the south bank, and gave the order for the main force to attack.

The light of the flashlight was made by a devil named Takeshi Komura.

Xiao Mura Meng took two devils to detour to Hebao Village, two kilometers upstream of Nanjin Kiln, and crossed the river and climbed onto the river bank (the terrain of the Xiushui River section of Yongxiu County is special, except for the Nanjin kiln, there is a gap between the other river and the river bank, not to mention the chariot, it is difficult for people to climb, which is the main reason why the Japanese army has to cross the river from the Nanjin kiln), and then sneaked to the Nanjin kiln to confirm whether the defenders' artillery positions have been transferred.

Komura didn't know what to say, the gun carriages they saw wrapped in camouflage, nine times out of ten were made of iron sheets, he thought he had done a great job, but he unknowingly became a Japanese Jiang Gan - Okamura had just given the order for the artillery to open fire, and gunfire rang out on the other side. Then, the flashlight's light faded. And this made Okamura even more convinced that Takeshi Komura and the others had obtained valuable information!

A wing of Japanese artillery opened fire, and the shells landed at the artillery positions of the Cadet Corps that had been detected by reconnaissance planes during the day. Okamura and others were very pleased with the effect of the shelling, which was followed by the rumbling of the enemy artillery positions, and then a raging fire broke out in many places.

In order to prevent the enemy artillery from returning fire, the Japanese artillery bombarded for five minutes, then resolutely stopped the shelling and began to move the position. To Okamura's relief, the shelling had a good effect, and the defending artillery units seemed to have suffered heavy losses, and although they returned fire after that, it could be calculated from the density of the shelling that there were at most three or four artillery pieces left in the defenders on the opposite bank.

"Let's attack!" Okamura first looked at the east, then at his watch, and gave a categorical order.

"Hello!" Yokoyama responded, jumped into an armored car, and gave the order to attack.

......All the tanks and armored vehicles of the 17th Tank Brigade began to fire and start their engines, and after warming up, with the coordination of the infantry of the two brigades, they stepped on the ice.

About four kilometers away from the Nanjin kiln, Zhang Tianquan, who was standing in the cold wind, heard the shout of "vulture, vulture" from the microphone, and he was excited, and immediately raised the microphone to his mouth and replied: "Vulture received, vulture received, eagle, what's the situation?" ”

"The chicks began to cross the river, the chicks began to cross the river, there were hens, there were hens, the size was medium-"

"Roger, receive! Keep you informed of the speed! ”

"The eagle understands."

Five minutes later, just when Zhang Tianquan began to feel a little uneasy, a voice came from the voice again: "Vulture, the chicks have docked, we ask for a lamp!" ”

"Vulture agrees!"

Zhang Tianquan had just finished saying this, and on the river facing the Nanjin kiln, Yokoyama Yong straightened up and shouted: "Accelerate, rush up, rush up is victory!" ”

The sound of "Tututu" became louder, and at the same time, the earth-shattering Japanese-style shouts also sounded. The devils who were walking on the legs of the Luo hoop suddenly seemed to have gained endless strength, they screamed and rushed to the shore, many people charged while taking out grenades and throwing them on the shore, and in an instant, a group of fireworks exploded on the beach of the Nanjin Yao River. In the sound of the explosion, there was a sudden "pop" sound on the river beach, and then, a flare dragged a bright tail flame into the sky, and the "bang" exploded when it reached the apex, instantly illuminating the surface of the Nanjin Yao River.
