One side, two sides, three sides...

Wei Daqiang counted like this, but the number was too much. When he counted to thirty, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem - this was the main force of the Japanese army!

"Go and report to the battalion commander immediately. The main force of the Japanese army has appeared on the north bank of the Xinqiang River!" Wei Daqiang felt that his voice was trembling. This was caused by nervousness - it was his first time to perform this kind of mission. If he performed it

If it is not in place, your own troops will be attacked by this group of Japanese troops.

Military law is ruthless, this is by no means a joke.

…

In sight, these Japanese troops were approaching menacingly, and they did not seem to intend to stay too long.

As the Japanese troops got closer and closer, Wei Daqiang finally realized that these Japanese troops were most likely going to cross the river!

"Get ready to fight!" Wei Daqiang issued the battle order. He must quickly remind other friendly forces in this way, otherwise if the Japanese army turns around, serious consequences will occur.

In addition, the most important point is, don't let these little devils want to cross the river, even if they want to pay birthdays, you have to make them feel uncomfortable.

…

Not long after, Wang Yongcheng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, received intelligence from the front line.

"What? You said that the main force of the Japanese army has appeared on the north bank of the Xinqiang River and is ready to cross the river at any time?" Wang Yongcheng could hardly believe his ears. He had to confirm it clearly.

"Yes, sir. I saw it with my own eyes. This is what our company commander ordered me to come and report." The soldier reported firmly.

"Okay, I understand." Wang Yongcheng nodded, and then immediately ordered the second and third cavalry companies to support the first cavalry company, and at the same time called the guard headquarters to report the situation.

After completing this series of actions, Wang Yongcheng personally led the troops to the Xinqiang River.

…

For Ushijima Mitsuru, crossing the New Wall River was a matter that he could decide within his scope of authority.

Although Inaba Shiro told him to try to keep the battle on the north bank of the New Wall River, Major General Ushijima Mitsuru now felt that he had to fight through it, and the initiative on the battlefield must be in his hands.

Looking at the shore of the New Wall River, Major General Ushijima Mitsuru looked around because he found traces of a pontoon bridge in the middle of the river.

"Yo Xi, this is a big discovery. This is where the Central China Army crossed the river. Immediately notify the troops and prepare to cross the river!" Ushijima Mitsuru made an extremely bold decision.

"Hai!!" the Japanese officers around him shouted.

So, under the order of the commander of the Ushijima Brigade, the southward detachment of the Japanese Sixth Division was ready to go south immediately!

…

Under the action of the engineering troops, the Japanese pontoon bridge was being quickly erected.

As an experienced commander, Wang Yongcheng also knew that he could not alert the enemy in the first place. He had to take action when the Japanese army was halfway through building bridges to be effective.

Therefore, he has been waiting, waiting for the Japanese engineering troops to build the bridge halfway before taking action!

…

On the other side, Zhang Tianhai finally received the latest report from the cavalry battalion.

"Crazy, really crazy, these little devils really want to come here to kill us! Immediately order the frontline troops to enter combat mode! If the little devils come up, give me a good beating!" Zhang Tianhai was also angry, he

If you don’t believe it, even with the combat effectiveness of your own security forces, you can’t stop these little devils from heading south!

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!!" Xu Xun stood at attention and saluted.

…

Ever since, under the stubbornness of the two commanders of the Chinese army and the Japanese army, a battle on the north bank of the Xinqiang River was about to break out!

…

I have to admit that the engineers and soldiers of the Japanese army are very superb in terms of technical quality and other aspects, especially in terms of work efficiency, which is not unusually fast. However, during this period, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army were not idle. They took advantage of the Japanese army to do their work.

While he was alive, he was quietly arranging his own position...

Of course, Wang Yongcheng looks stupid, but in fact he is not stupid at all. For example, he is now aiming the heavy firepower of the Second Company and the Third Company at the place where the floating bridge is - for them, it is not a battle now.

It's a good time, we have to wait until the little devil's pontoon bridge is set up before taking action.

If you want to ask why Wang Yongcheng was able to carry out the erection in such a secretive manner without letting the Japanese army discover it, we have to start with Zhang Tianhai's previous move of deploying troops to fight the blockade.

In order to ensure the advantage of the troops in fighting against the river, Zhang Tianhai, Li Yinglun and others proposed when inspecting the position that the platform on the south bank must be raised to form an overwhelming confrontation against the Japanese troops that may appear on the north bank.

No, forefathers planted trees for later generations to enjoy the shade. The infantry officers and soldiers of the First Guard Regiment and the Third Guard Regiment, plus a kind of civilians who worked exhaustingly, finally gave Wang Yongcheng a little advantage.

In the tall reed grass, the muzzles of each gun have been ready. For the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion, they are used to doing this kind of thing - the fire support force is to strive for the fastest speed.

When you are involved in a battle and can hide, you must fight in a hidden manner. When you cannot hide and support, you can face a direct confrontation. It is simply a matter of familiarity.

Of course, the Japanese army's crossing point cannot be just at this point. This is the closest point on the Xinqiang River to Jiankou Town, and it is also the most suitable place for crossing the river. Therefore, this is the crossing point between the Japanese army and the Chinese army.

First choice.

As for other directions, the Japanese army also deployed a certain number of pontoon bridges, but they were never the place where the main force crossed the river. After all, there was a large-scale unit like the 15th Army nearby -

When fighting, don't provoke such a strong opponent. And from Ushijima Mitsuru's point of view, although the terrain on the other side seems to be higher, it is an artificial expansion. As long as there is no attack here, it proves that the opponent has evacuated.

Now, we can drive straight in and hit the front line of Sanjiang Town.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that why the Japanese aircraft did not appear here is because the main force of the Japanese combat aircraft is monitoring the movements of the 15th National Army, and the town of Jiankou happens to be a vacuum zone -

- Because the decision to cross the Xinqiang River to the south was made by Ushijima Mitsuru without consulting the division commander Inaba Shiro, the Japanese army did not send combat aircraft to the south bank of the Xinqiang River across from Jiankou Town for close reconnaissance.

.

It was precisely in this way that Wang Yongcheng was given an opportunity for a sneak attack.
