Chapter 299 Airdrop 300 iron assault boats!

"It's hard to say."

After listening to Luo Youdu's analysis, Xu Rui thought about it and said with no confidence: "Fenglindu is a suitable place for building a floating bridge, but it is eleven kilometers away from the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge."

"According to common sense, the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Japanese failed to send two infantry brigades to smuggle across the river from Feng Lindu. Taro Takeshita would not be unclear about this."

"However, Fenglindo can even be built on a floating bridge. It doesn't make sense. Takeshita Taro didn't see this."

Luo Youdu looked at the map and said in a voice: "I think it is very likely to smuggle across the river from Fenglindu."

"Perhaps, Takeshita Taro will smuggle a group from here at night, which is also possible. There are also places suitable for crossing the river in other sections."

"After all, at the current flow rate of the Nanliu River, there are actually many places where there are avoiding the artillery fire from Woyupo Mountain and smuggling across the river from the sections of the river eight kilometers west of the Stone Bridge up and downstream of the Nanliu River."

Xu Rui nodded and said, "So, we can only send sentries along the river to stare."

"Once you find the Japanese crossing point at night, you must prepare for the attack in advance."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "Don't Duan Peng's reconnaissance company is on the south bank of the Nanliu River. I will tell this kid to stare at the Japanese army on the south bank."

"Perhaps, you can order Duan Peng to stare at where the fleet of transport aircraft that the Japanese airdropped iron assault boats will appear, and then stare at the transportation direction of the second batch of Japanese assault boats, so you can stare at the direction of the Japanese crossing the river."

Upon hearing this, Xu Rui's eyes lit up and he said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "The Chief of Staff has considered it very well."

"Just do this for the time being!"

Immediately, Xu Rui said to the communications staff officer Gu Jiaping standing beside him: "According to what I just told the Chief of Staff, Duan Peng secretly watched me the Japanese army on the south bank."

"Especially, the Japanese next second batch of iron assault boats will likely be in Mingjia Town, so he will send someone to keep an eye on Mingjia Town. Next, once the Japanese second batch of iron assault boats are airdropped, most of them will be prepared to transport them to a location, so that he can just stare at the Japanese supplies troops transporting the second batch of iron assault boats. If there is any situation, report to the command center through the radio at any time."

Gu Jiaping nodded and stood attentively and said, "Yes, the regiment seat." He turned around and immediately returned to the communications soldiers who were putting the radio station aside, and then ordered the communications soldiers to immediately send another secret telegram to Duan Peng, the company commander of the reconnaissance company.

"Roun, next, we can only wait for Takeshita Taro to take action."

Luo Youdu then said to Xu Rui.

"That's right!"

Xu Rui nodded and said.

Now the Japanese on the south bank of the Nanliu River have retreated, camped and rested, and confronted each other across the river.

The Japanese army has no chance to cross the Nanliu River to attack its own side now, so its side can only wait for the second batch of Japanese iron assault boats to arrive. After the Japanese take the initiative to attack, Xu Rui can command various units to carry out corresponding counterattacks.

As for the two elite troops of the 15th Cavalry Battalion and the 18th Kong Tu Battalion, which had long been lurking in a mountainous ridge on the south bank of the Nanliu River, they could only be able to send a telegram to attack Mingjia Town after destroying half of the remaining 40,000 Japanese troops and cut off the necessary place for the Japanese army's logistics supply.

Now, the time is not yet ripe. After all, Taro Takeshita still has more than 41,000 troops. It is not that the Cavalry Battalion and the Kongtu Battalion can block so many Japanese soldiers from the south to counterattack in the Mingjia Town after they took over Mingjia Town.

"I wonder how the battle in the direction of Datong City is now?"

Luo Youdu pointed to the map and suddenly said to Xu Rui.

"It should be no bad!"

Xu Rui looked at Datongcheng, an important town in northwestern Shanxi, and immediately said: "The raids attacked Datongcheng were the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. These two troops are the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army of the Eighth Route Army."

"And half an hour ago, the battle report sent by Li Yunlong was sent by a commander of the regiment. The Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment, plus some armed forces assisting the war, had about 10,000 people. The battle progress of the fierce attack on Datong City was very smooth. However, according to the latest reports of friendly forces, the 4th Japanese Division stationed in Huaiyang City had already dispatched 10,000 troops to reinforce north. At present, a group of friendly troops that had attacked Datong City divided the troops south to block the 10,000 reinforcements from the 4th Japanese Division who went north to reinforce from Huaiyang City."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued, "At present, the war in the direction of Datong City is still in a stalemate."

"In a short period of time, there should be no big progress."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "But it has little impact on our side."

"Even if the friendly independent regiment and the 28th regiment attack Datong City is unfavorable, they can retreat at any time."

Xu Rui smiled and said, "Half an hour ago, Li Yunlong, the new friendly regiment, also said this in the notice."

"Let us rest assured about the war in the direction of Datong City."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "So, let's see how Takeshita Taro is doing."

"There is a high probability that the river crossing attack will be launched only at night!"

Xu Rui said as he stretched out his waist, and then said relaxedly: "At the most, he used artillery fire from time to time to launch artillery fire on the river defense positions on the north bank of the Nanliu River to detect our firepower points."

"Taro Takeshita can't do much more now."

Luo Youdu thought about it, and that's true.

Afterwards, Luo Youdu and Xu Rui continued to look at the map and said some things, and they became a little idle.

Time passes a little by little.

When the time came at 3:41 in the afternoon, the roar of the plane suddenly came over Mingjia Town, about five kilometers south of Nanliujiang Stone Bridge.

At this time, Duan Peng, the company commander of the reconnaissance company of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi Sui Army, personally led a platoon of soldiers from the reconnaissance company to lie down on a mountain deep in the mountains west of Mingjia Town, and used a telescope to observe the Japanese troops stationed in Mingjia Town.

At this time, the roar of planes over Mingjia Town reached Duan Peng's ears, which immediately aroused Duan Peng's alertness.

Duan Peng immediately picked up his telescope and looked over Mingjia Town. He saw Japanese transport planes flying out of the clouds above the southeast of Mingjia Town.

"Company Commander, look, the Japanese transport planes have dropped ships."

Soon, a reconnaissance soldier lying beside Duan Peng whispered, pointing to the white parachutes in the sky, which were hanging on the horse and hanging on the iron assault boats.

"See it!"

Duan Peng nodded and then counted carefully.

The Japanese transport plane dropped very quickly, and the three hundred iron assault boats were clearly seen under Duan Peng's rapid vision.

"There are really three hundred iron assault boats. The old devil Shinozuka Yoshinan gives the frontline support of Takeshita Taro, the old devil, and it's coming very quickly!"

Duan Peng clicked out how many Japanese iron assault boats were dropped from the air. He couldn't help but secretly surprised Yoshinan Shizuka's support and whispered.

"Company Commander, what should I do now?"

The reconnaissance soldier lying beside Duan Peng asked in a low voice.

"Of course, I immediately used the radio station to send a secret message to the regiment, reporting to the second batch of 300 Japanese iron assault boats, which were airdropped over Mingjia Town."

Duan Peng immediately whispered to the reconnaissance soldier.

"Yes, company commander."

The reconnaissance soldier nodded, then crawled back, then took out the radio and turned it on immediately, and knocked it to Xu Rui's command center.
