Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Wu Chaowen said: "Master, I think this is not right. We must immediately increase our troops to the Jianbu Mountain Reservoir. You must know that we once captured Japanese military maps on the Chinese battlefield. The Japanese military maps are more detailed than ours. , Even mountain villages and trails will appear on the map, which fully shows that the Japanese army had a large number of spies sneaking into our country before the attack, and it took a long time to prepare for this. In the same way, the Japanese army has been planning to enter Burma for a long time. They will also send special agents to observe the topographic drawings. The Jianbushan Reservoir is not a small project. It may appear on the map of the Japanese army. Once the Japanese army guesses our intentions, the next step will definitely be to seize the Bujianshan Reservoir. Reservoir, control the gate."

"Hiss!" Lu Guoquan took a deep breath, the expression on his face became more dignified, and then said solemnly: "Soldier, immediately order Chen Feng, the commander of the regiment, to run over here!"

In fact, the defense line built by the 93rd Division on the south bank of the Liangmiao River was really a bluff for the Japanese army to see. Once the Japanese army didn't know it and moved in, tanks and infantry entered the river beach, and a platoon of Japanese soldiers would be more than ten miles away. The Jianbu Mountain Reservoir opened the gate to release the water, and when the flood gate was opened to the bottom, the roaring flood would swoop down like a mountain and the sea, and the area of ​​the river would suddenly increase to 200 meters away. Once the Japanese army entered the middle of the river beach, they would run on all eight legs If you don't win, it's safe to submerge the tanks and wash away the infantry.

Wu Chaowen's words immediately aroused Lu Guoquan's vigilance. The Japanese army repeatedly attacked the bridge deck, and the tanks and infantry were lingering. Crossing the river swaggeringly, and the entire bluffing defense line could not stop the coordinated attack of the Japanese infantry and tanks. The 93rd Division's task of defending the Liangmiao Bridge was a complete failure.

Soon, the regiment leader Chen Feng ran in panting, and saluted the report. Lu Guoquan immediately stepped forward and said anxiously: "Chen Feng, you immediately lead the whole regiment to support Jianbushan Reservoir, and you must reach it within an hour. If Jianbushan The reservoir has been occupied by the enemy, you must desperately take it back for Lao Tzu, and be ready to release the water at any time."

Chen Feng said solemnly: "Yes, we promise to complete the task!" Then he left quickly.

Running for more than ten miles in an hour seems to have plenty of time, but there are several mountain ridges to climb along the way, the road is rough and difficult, and an hour is not enough.

When Chen Feng went out, Lu Guoquan ordered to immediately send a message to the platoon leader who controlled the reservoir gate, ordering to be vigilant and prevent the enemy from sneaking in. Once there is an attack, immediately open the gate and release the water.

Once the Japanese army appeared at the Jianbushan Reservoir, it was basically certain that the Japanese army had seen through his intentions. Although a platoon may not be able to stop the Japanese army for a long time, even if it released water for a few minutes, it would make it difficult for the enemy to cross the river.

Wu Chaowen said: "Master, since the Japanese have already suspected that the Japanese army has seen through our intentions, I think it is better to open the gate and release the water now. Once the Liangmiao River is filled with water, even if the Japanese army closes the gate, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east. The retention time will not be too long, but there should still be an hour, and we can also block the enemy for an extra hour."

Lu Guoquan hesitated a little, thoughtfully said: "Wait and see!"

In his heart, he still had great hopes. The Japanese army did not see through his intentions, and a great opportunity to make contributions was still waiting for him.

The urgent reports from the front spread to the headquarters one after another, which made Lu Guoquan very angry. The Liangmiao Bridge was undoubtedly the best and fastest way for the Japanese army to cross the river. Therefore, the Japanese army did not hesitate to casualties and repeatedly attacked, and the planes and artillery bombed them in turn. The attitude of not giving up when the goal is achieved.

Less than an hour since the start of the battle, the first battalion has already been disabled, and now the second battalion is in constant distress, so Lu Guoquan had to send another battalion to take over the defense.

The area at the bridgehead was limited, and at most one battalion of troops was invested. Although the circular fortifications were well-built, they could not withstand the successive bombings by Japanese planes and artillery. The casualties and the cruelty of the battle were imaginable.Lu Guoquan had already sent several telegrams to the military headquarters requesting reinforcements, but reinforcements seemed to be far away.It's no wonder that the planes above the road are always circling, and the troops can only distance themselves in twos and threes, taking advantage of the gaps of the Japanese planes to advance, how can it be faster.

The expeditionary force does not have a brigade-level organization. To a large extent, the chairman still subtly agrees with what Jiang Haoran said about the bloated command system, and is gradually changing this situation. At least the legions that appeared before the Wuhan battle, Corps and other establishments are basically invisible now.

Type B divisions like the 93rd Division have three infantry regiments under their direct control, with a strength of no more than 7000. After one regiment is transferred to the Jianbushan Reservoir, there are only two regiments left at the front, and each regiment only has three infantry battalions. , In less than an hour, the Liangmiaoqiao position has consumed two infantry battalions. At this rate, it will take only two hours. The 93rd Division should basically be wiped out. Therefore, Lu Guoquan rushed to the Fire is also excusable.

In the jungle to the west of the south bank of the Liangmiao River, regiment leader Chen Feng was marching with the soldiers of the first regiment.

In the jungle west of the north bank of the Liangmiao River, the Japanese Kojima Battalion was also marching hastily.

In terms of time, the small island brigade of the Japanese army was more than ten minutes earlier than Chen Feng and the others, so they had already missed Chen Feng and the others in terms of distance. Once the sluice is opened, their tanks and infantry can swagger into the Liangmiao River, and the 93rd Division's defense line will immediately collapse.Conversely, once the Japanese took control of the sluice, the only way for the Japanese army was to attack from the bridge. Although the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese army was also not small.

Therefore, the battle in front of us is a race against time. Whoever controls the gate of the Jianbushan Reservoir first will gain control of the battlefield.

However, almost at the same time, in the jungle to the east of the north bank of the Liangmiao River, another army was also marching in a hurry. They were the Snow Wolf Special Forces. Captain Su Canwen's tactical purpose was very clear, which was to attack the Japanese army's headquarters or ammunition depots. However, with a small unit like them, of course they cannot compete head-on with the enemy's wing-level large forces. If they want to completely stop the enemy's mission as scheduled, they can only start from the Japanese army's headquarters or ammunition depots.

Once the Japanese army's ammunition depot is blown up, or the command system is paralyzed, the Japanese army will be forced to stop its offensive.If they can succeed, then there will be a third variable in this battle, and everything will become complicated and confusing.
