Just as the ambush of the baggage troops of the Guoqi detachment began on the opposite riverbank, Zhang Sixing's ambush of the 6th, 3rd, and 18th Divisions in Jiangdong was about to begin.

"There will be no fraud......

Despite being a paratrooper school in pursuit of retreat, the Japanese soldiers had learned to be careful, and they had already suffered too much along the way.

The road can be described as full of mines, small bullet mines and mines made of porcelain grenades, just afraid of touching the steel helmet mines. That kind of landmine......

Now, when the scouts looked at the small bridge in front of them that had not been bombed, they muttered one by one.

Could there be such an omission in the "Four Elements Demon King", it is obvious that this is a trap that no one can fool.

But the problem is that such a bridge can't be crossed, but how to pursue the defeated troops in Jinling City led by the "Four Elements Demon King". According to aerial reconnaissance, their crossing point was nearby.

But crossing the bridge...... In this case, it is safer to send a few soldiers to explore the way.

Jun Cao waved his hand, and a combat group of four people cautiously moved forward with 38 rifles. The eyes do not look ahead, but only at the ground.

It was really sad that the bombing was carried out along the way, and no unit could advance with a lenient front. The kind of mines that only blow off the soles of the feet and mines made of porcelain grenades are simply everywhere, and a large area will appear after a few hundred meters.

In front of it is a two-arched stone bridge, which is quite old as you can tell from the shiny stone pillars on the bridge.

"Click"

The soles of the cowhide shoes finally stepped on the stone slab on the bridge, which was really the sound of Ling's peace of mind. At least you can't put the kind of mines on the slabs that blow off the soles of people's feet.

"Thunder"

Someone whispered that the soldiers in the lead had spotted a hair-like tripstring on the bridge deck. An earthen porcelain grenade can be seen along the tripstring, which is held in place with a rope on the bridge pillar.

"Hmph, the subordinates of the Four Elements Demon King are nothing more than that, as long as you are careful, you can dismantle all the mines."

As the strings of the clay porcelain grenades were cut and thrown into the river, a few soldiers who felt safe waved their hands at the detachment behind.

There were only a dozen people in a detachment, and there were less than ten people in the detachment in front of them after the first battle of Jinling. Seeing the people on the bridge making safety gestures, several people walked towards the bridge, and they were still discussing in a low voice as they walked.

"It's really strange, how could the Four Elements Demon King not blow up this stone bridge that can cross tanks, isn't he worried that we will send tanks to chase them?"

"He? You're talking about His Excellency the Demon King, the kid must know how to respect him, after all, he is a Chinese who has stayed in Germany. Seriously, I've never met such a vicious Chinese person. ”

"He's not Chinese, I've heard he's a German."

"Shut up ......"

Jun Cao stopped them from speaking sternly, but then he still explained,

"He's a Chinese with German nationality."

After saying that, he should go up to the bridge first, but at this time, the person in charge of the pathfinder in front of him suddenly waved his hand.

"Don't come here, there's explosives under the bridge."

Cao Chang, who led the detachment, used gestures to stop the small talk of several people, and even glared at them, as if the "Four Elements Demon King" had arranged explosives under the bridge, as if it was all their fault.

"Check the explosives and see if they can be dismantled."

"Yes, and only with a fuse lock and ......"

The soldiers on the bridge asked someone to hold his legs, leaned out under the guardrail as best they could, and soon returned to the bridge deck, holding a smokeless burning charcoal in his hand.

“…… This one...... It's strange that this charcoal bar doesn't smoke at all, and the explosives are also disguised, if it weren't for my sharp eyes, I would have been deceived by the Four Elements Demon King. ”

The Cao Chang, who used gestures to stop the rest of his men from going up to the bridge, put down his hand, led the others up to the bridge, and reached out to take the charcoal.

"Your Excellency the Demon King is such a ...... What a clever guy who can time explosives with a simple charcoal bar......"

It can be heard that although Zhang Sixing started from the Sixing warehouse and beat the devil very badly in almost every battle, it seems that some Japanese soldiers respect him very much.

"Raise the flag to the large army behind, just say that we have occupied the bridge over the Jiangning River, and the brigade please move forward as soon as possible."

The 6th Division's reluctance to explore the road with a small force was also a reluctant move, and at the beginning, in order to prevent being ambushed from the plains, the pursuing brigade pulled out of the straggler line and advanced.

However, they encountered a dense stream of bullets and mines, causing as many as 200 casualties almost instantly. All of the injured were injured in almost the same situation, as bullets and lightning bolts pierced the soles of their feet.

In desperation, in order to pursue the troops of the "Four Elements Demon King" as soon as possible, Gu Shoufu applied for the support of the armored forces on the one hand, and asked each unit to advance in two formations.

The advantage of this is that only a fairly narrow area needs to be cleared, and the troops can move quickly. Then in those minefields, they are marked with small flags and let the sappers slowly clear the mines.

At this moment, I heard that the bridge on the Jiangning River had been successfully occupied, and all the troops invariably accelerated their pace.

If Zhang Sixing could fly into the sky with a delta wing at this time, he would see that the infantry of more than two wings was dividing into a group of two and quickly gathering on the bridge over the Jiangning River.

At this time, the reconnaissance plane applied by Gu Shoufu flew in and came to the south of the bridge to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance according to Gu Shou's order.

This is the kind of ultralight monoplane, which looks like it should be an artillery plane that often meets and even colludes. It's just that there is still a considerable gap between the Japanese and European artillery and European and American artillery, at least European artillery rarely uses balloons for calibration.

"Report, no enemy sneak attack party was found, here...... The grass here is deep...... In addition, I could see that a new ferry crossing had been established outside the city of Jiangning County, where many Chinese soldiers were waiting to cross the river. It's a shame that I flew a reconnaissance plane......"

"Tom Tom ......"

Because the altitude of the flight was too low, a series of 37-mm anti-aircraft guns flew towards the sky. A large number of rifle and machine gun bullets flew along with it.

Although these shots were not accurate, they still scared the pilots of the reconnaissance planes,

"After the report, I was attacked by anti-aircraft weapons and I had to leave."

In fact, it is not to blame the pilot of the reconnaissance plane for reporting this, because there are really no ambushes here. Because there is only a small bridge here, it is suitable for blocking battles, as for ambush operations......

Soon a brigade of devils' infantry came to the bridgehead of the Jiangning River, and some detachments of the roadfinder had already crossed the bridge and headed for Jiangning County.

To the surprise of the Japanese soldiers, there were no mines here, and they signaled safety to the brigade on the other side of the river.

"Attack, we can't let those Chinese soldiers escape, order the troops by the river to cross the bridge quickly, we ......"

Just as Gu Shoufu's order was transmitted to the front-line troops along the radio waves, several strange signal flares suddenly appeared in the sky.
