"What's the situation?" Han Jianfang, commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, ran out of his command. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he heard the gunfire all over Sandbar 5, he knew that there must be some emergency.

"Commander, Xiao Ri * Ben has attacked. A large number of troops are crossing the river. Brothers on the front line, are resisting. A staff officer reported.

"Dog* day, I know these days* I won't give up. After suffering such a big loss, they can endure this breath, which is strange. The 1st and 2nd Battalions were ordered to resist the Japanese attack with all their might. The 3rd Battalion is ready for reinforcements at any time. Colonel Han Jianfang ordered.

"Yes, Captain." The staff officer saluted and immediately went to deliver the order.

"Send a telegram to the division headquarters that we were suddenly attacked by the Japanese army. The Japanese have invested a large number of troops, and the situation is urgent, and we need fire support, as well as more reinforcements. Han Jianfang ordered.

Although, asking for help from the division headquarters seems to be a bit humiliating. However, Colonel Han Jianfang knew that now was not the time to be a hero. It can't be because of his heroism that his troops will suffer heavy losses. In that case, then I would be sorry for the brothers who fought so hard.

"Yes, Captain." The communications corps immediately went to send a telegram.

"Da Da Da! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "On the front line, fierce fighting has begun, and the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 1st Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army stationed in the east of No. 5 sandbar are desperately pouring fire on the Japanese army.

Dense machine-gun bullets, like a storm, swept towards the river. The attacking Japanese troops, under the blow of intensive firepower, suffered heavy losses.

The wooden boat could not withstand the powerful machine gun bullets at all, and was soon full of bullet holes.

Many Japanese soldiers were shot and fell directly into the river. Blood flowed from their bodies, staining the river red.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Mortars and grenadiers are also firing desperately. In particular, the grenadier canister, which has been assigned to the support firepower of the squad, has played a great role in the battle.

Although, the grenade fired by the grenadier canister is not very powerful. However, this is not something that a wooden boat can resist. After the explosion of a grenade, not only the Japanese troops on the small boat will suffer heavy losses. Even small boats will be blown apart. All the Japanese soldiers on board fell into the river and drowned alive.

After all, after the heavily armed Japanese army fell into the water, the possibility of escaping was almost equal to zero.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

One by one, the flares rose into the air, illuminating the entire river as if it were daylight. The night was dispelled, and there was no longer any cover for the Japanese troops. In such a situation, they would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to land successfully.

Although, the river channel is not wide. However, the current is turbulent. If you want to successfully cross the river, it is not much easier. In this period of time, the ferocious counterattack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has already cost the Japanese army a great price.

When Soshiro Kanaoka and Ainohara Dreadnought Osaku saw this, the expressions on their faces also became solemn. At the beginning, they thought that the two wings would not be able to resist their attack, no matter how strong the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was. But now it seems that the situation is more complicated than they thought!

"Order the brigades, intensify the offensive. No matter what, you must defeat the Shina people. Soshiro Kanaoka ordered.

Aihara Dreadnought's assistant Daisa, also gave a similar order.

At the headquarters of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, when the guns rang out, Lieutenant General Sun Changwu, Lieutenant General Yu Chengyin and others were awakened, and they immediately put on their clothes and came to the war room.

Soon, Major General Lu Hengliang, commander of the 1st Infantry Division, also arrived.

"How's it going?" Lieutenant General Sun Changwu asked.

"The commander, the Japanese * himself launched an attack on Sandbar No. 5, and they threw a large number of troops. Although, at the moment there has been no successful landing. However, it was undoubtedly very difficult for the 1st Infantry Regiment alone to resist the attack of the Japanese himself. Han Jianfang has already sent a telegram asking for help. Major General Lu Hengliang reported.

"Let's send another regiment to Sandbar 5. Either way, Sandbar 5 has to be in our hands. In addition, a regiment is drawn to be ready at any time. As soon as the situation on the front line changes, it is necessary to be able to immediately go to the battlefield. Sun Changwu ordered.

"Yes, Captain." Major General Lu Hengliang nodded.

"Fortunately, the sappers have already built the pontoon bridge, otherwise, the sneak attack of the Japanese * himself will really make us scramble." Lieutenant General Yu Chengyin, with a smile on his face.

The engineer brigade and the engineer battalions of the divisions worked together to build several pontoon bridges leading to the No. 5 sandbar on the west bank of the Wangbin River. This allows the soldiers and various combat materials needed on the front line to be quickly sent to the No. 5 sandbar through the pontoon bridge. This is also the reason why the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is not worried about the Japanese attack.

"By the way, how are the pontoon bridges for tanks and armored vehicles built?" Sun Changwu asked.

"Commander, we have built a specially reinforced pontoon bridge for tanks and armored vehicles. Article 2, most of the work has been completed. It is expected to be completed by noon tomorrow. Meng Guohua, commander of the engineer brigade, reported.

"Well, that would be great. Old Hu, let the armored brigade send a tank battalion and a mechanized infantry battalion to get ready. Always ready to cross the pontoon bridge and head to the No. 5 sandbar to fight. This time, I want to let the Japanese* who dare to attack have no return. Lieutenant General Sun Changwu ordered.

He secretly guessed that since the Japanese * himself had once again invested the main force in this wave of attacks. Then, this also means that the Japanese army has put the final foundation into it. If we can kill all these Japanese troops. Then, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can launch a large-scale counterattack.

"Yes, Commander. The armored brigade guaranteed to complete the mission, so that all the Japanese* themselves who set foot on the No. 5 sandbank will not return. Major General Hu Cuiming, commander of the 1st Armored Brigade, said with confidence.

"Old Yu, since the day * himself has put the last elite troops into it. This means that they are going to take a gamble. If we can annihilate this elite force of the Japanese army, then we have nothing to worry about, and we can launch a counterattack immediately. Sun Changwu said.

Yu Chengyin nodded: "It's time to launch a counterattack, otherwise, it will inevitably be a long night." ”

"Order the division commanders of all divisions and brigades to immediately go to the headquarters for a meeting."
