"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been two days since the people of China occupied the sandbar in the Wangbin River. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info They must have built a strong fortification on the sandbar. Coupled with the superiority of the Chinese in terms of firepower, we must send more main forces. Otherwise, we don't have the slightest chance. Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura looked serious.

The other generals also had solemn faces. Everyone knows that even if you want to fight back. However, the probability of success is probably not too high. In order to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they had to do everything they could.

"Gentlemen, whether we can successfully insist on the arrival of reinforcements depends on our actions tonight." Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The other Japanese generals also nodded.

The order of Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura was immediately issued to the headquarters of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army. After receiving the order, Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama, commander of the 56th Division, was a little uncomfortable. After all, a 113th wing had already been drawn from them before. After the 146th and 148th Wings were withdrawn, the 56th Division was left with only a few second-line troops. If you count the 56th Field Artillery Wing, which was transferred before, it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the 56th Division will be at that time. There will be no one out of ten. However, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura had already given the order, and he had no way to disobey it. Otherwise, he, the commander of the division, may have done it.

"Order the 146th and 148th Wings to rush to the front at once and obey the command of His Excellency the Commander." Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama gave the order.

The 146th and 148th Infantry Wings of the Japanese Army, totaling more than 7,600 men, immediately set out after receiving the order. Although, it's already night. However, the two infantry wings of the Japanese army still moved very quickly.

Although the 56th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated on the battlefield in Burma, the current 56th Division was rebuilt by recruiting reserves. Its combat effectiveness cannot catch up with the previous troops. However, the combat quality of the Japanese army was already very strong, and it could be regarded as an elite unit.

Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura's request was to launch an attack at two o'clock in the morning. Therefore, these two infantry wings need to arrive in advance and be ready.

As for the boats needed to cross the river, the Japanese sappers had already prepared.

"Kanaoka-kun, Aihara-kun, tonight's counterattack is about whether our 18th Front Army can hold out until reinforcements arrive under the attack of the Shina people. So, tonight's counterattack is very important. I hope that your two wings will be able to defeat the people of China and take the sandbar smoothly. Then hold on there, and hold on for as long as possible! Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. Humble grade, guaranteed to complete the task! The Wing Commander of the 146th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Soshiro Kanaoka, and the Wing Commander of the 148th Infantry Wing, Ainohara Dauntless Inosuke Osa, both replied loudly.

They seem to be full of confidence in this counterattack. It's as if there is no need to worry about the strong combat power of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Kanaoka-kun, Aihara-kun. Your enemies are very strong. So, I hope you don't underestimate the enemy. The people of China fought the entire 18th Front Army like this. The 15th Division and the 22nd Division have been completely wiped out. The 4th Division, too, suffered a devastating blow. Even the 113th Infantry Wing suffered heavy losses. Now, these two wings of you have become our only main force. I hope that in this battle, you will be able to show the excellent qualities of the samurai of the Dainichi * Empire who are not afraid of death, and defeat the damned Shina people. Major General Kunitaro Yamada, Chief of Staff of the 18th Front, reminded.

"Hi, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we got it." Soshiro Kanaoka and Dreadnought Osa, Noodrepid Osa, nodded repeatedly.

"Go down and prepare. When the time is up, attack immediately. This time, we are only allowed to win, not to lose! Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Soshiro Kanaoka and Ainohara Dreadnought Osa, replied loudly. They are still full of confidence in this attack.

Although, as they all know, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is very strong. But they firmly believe that the final victory must be theirs.

Time passed minute by minute, two o'clock in the morning, and it was very soon there.

Tonight, there is no moon in the sky, only a few stars, and it is just a faint starlight. Visibility is not great, making it ideal for sneak attacks.

When the time for the attack came, the 146th and 148th Infantry Wings of the Japanese Army immediately went into action.

Six infantry brigades, more than 6,000 men, divided into two lines and launched an attack. These Japanese officers and soldiers, carrying the small boats that the sappers had prepared for them, rushed to the river. Under the cover of night, paddle towards the sandbar in the Wangbin River.

The whole process did not make a single sound. It can be seen that these Japanese soldiers are definitely well-trained. In this aspect alone, it is stronger than most of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

It's just that these small boats of the Japanese army also need to be rowed by manpower. The sound of the oars paddling in the water could not be concealed. In particular, the movement generated by hundreds of small boats paddling together is even greater.

Of course, even then, the Japanese did not take it to heart. After all, from the east bank of the Wangbin River to the No. 5 sandbar, it is only a few tens of meters. It won't take long for these small boats to arrive successfully. Even if it is discovered by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it can be forcibly crossed. Moreover, the loss paid will not be too big.

On the No. 5 sandbank, the sentries of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on duty immediately discovered the situation.

"There's movement on the river, fire a flare." A second lieutenant officer, ordered.

"Whew!"

A flare lifted into the air. The dazzling white light dispelled the darkness. The figures of the Japanese boats in the river were all revealed.

For a time, the officers and men of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army who saw this scene were very nervous.

"Enemy attack! Go on the offensive. The officers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army on duty shouted loudly.

"Bang! Bang! Da-da-da-da! ”

The soldiers on duty immediately attacked. Rifles and machine guns, began to strafe the river.

The sound of gunfire woke up the other soldiers. After being woken up, these officers and soldiers, without saying a word, immediately threw themselves into the battle.

Since the 1st Infantry Regiment was stationed on Sandbar No. 5, it has been on guard against a sneak attack by the Japanese himself. Therefore, even when the soldiers were resting, they all slept in their clothes and kept their guns in their hands. Now, their preparation has finally come in handy.
