How did Lin Feng see through it? Was this a Japanese reconnaissance team in disguise?
In fact, he did not think too much about it. He just felt that there was something wrong with the officer's words. If it was really the soldiers of the Jiangfang Battalion who had withdrawn, they would definitely have to meet up with the troops that had withdrawn from the W-Han Army!
But they wanted everyone to move back! Where else could he go? It wouldn't be long before the defeated team base of the Yayans would come down. When the hundreds of thousands of troops were squeezed into the Xinqiang River, they would all be wrapped up in dumplings by the Japanese!
Therefore, Lin Feng decided to trick him. He didn't expect those Japanese spies to be so impatient.
Lin Feng walked forward with a gloomy expression. He had a faint guess in his heart.
At this moment, he heard a series of footsteps behind him. Ma Tianxiang walked up quickly and smiled at Lin Feng, giving him a thumbs up to express his praise.
"Brother Lin, I've been in the military for more than ten years. I'm finally convinced today…"
Ma Tianxiang grinned foolishly.
"Commander Ma…"
Without waiting for Wang Yi to finish, Ma Tianxiang interrupted,""Don't call me Commander Ma, Commander Ma…I only have 300 men, I can't even be considered a Battalion Commander! Brother Lin, I'm older than you by a few years. If you think highly of me, just call me Big Brother Ma!”
"Alright, Brother Ma! Actually, there's something I don't understand. When we met the Japanese patrol team just now, did you feel that something was wrong?”
Lin Feng asked the question in his heart.
"Abnormal?"
Ma Tianxiang pondered for a moment. He knew that Lin Feng would not have such a guess for no reason, so he looked at Lin Feng as if he was asking for permission.
"I think that if the Japanese took over Newwall Town, they could just build fortifications and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Then, they would be able to block off all of the G Corps at the ferry…Why would they need to send out patrols?”
Lin Feng slowly analyzed.
After Ma Tianxiang heard what Lin Feng said, he also felt that there seemed to be some problems. However, it was not surprising that the Japanese had sent out a reconnaissance team. He thought for a moment and his expression suddenly changed."Ah, you mean…"
Lin Feng saw that Ma Tianxiang thought the same as him, so he said,"If I'm not mistaken, there's only one possibility…Newwall Town hasn't fallen into the hands of the Japanese yet! It was already beyond the time the Japanese had set. In order to prevent the continuous arrival of the G Army, they sent spies to disrupt the retreat of the G Army to Xinqiang Town!”
This guess was very bold, but it was not without reason.
If the Japanese didn't take down Xinqiang Town in the expected time, then when the retreating troops of the G Corps arrived, their regiment would become a turtle in a jar!
"Quick, inform the team to run forward!”
Ma Tianxiang, as a teacher, naturally knew how powerful this was. If Lin Feng's guess was correct, then this was the only chance to take back Xinqiang Town.
……
Boom, boom, boom…
At this moment, at the Xinqiang River Bridge, smoke was billowing, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The bluestone road leading to the bridge was littered with the corpses of the Japanese. Near the bridgehead, behind a bunker made of sand, hundreds of G Army soldiers in grayish-blue uniforms were fighting with the Japanese soldiers in dog shit yellow.
There were shouts everywhere, and there were corpses everywhere. The wounded soldiers on the battlefield could not retreat at all. A soldier with a broken leg held a grenade in his arms. When the Japanese rushed past the sandbag fortification, he immediately pulled the grenade. With a loud bang, three or four Japanese soldiers were lifted into the air.
In the bridgehead, a man with a face full of black dust held a phone and shouted anxiously,"The Japanese are attacking the Xinqiang River Bridge. Please send reinforcements!”
"What is it? Blow up the bridge and retreat to the south bank? Sir, 100,000 of our men are retreating to Xinqiang River. What should we do if we blow up the bridge? What…This is the order of the commander of the 9th Battle Area to prevent the Japanese from crossing the Xinqiang River?”
Pa--
The man, whose face was covered in black dust, threw the phone on the ground. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he looked like a ferocious devil." F * ck you! You're disregarding the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers of the G Army. What kind of lousy war is this?!"”
At this moment, an officer from the G Army rushed in and said anxiously,"Battalion Commander Feng, retreat! The brothers had persisted for a day and a night. If this continued, they would all be dead!”
This man with a face full of black dust was the commander of the fourth Jiangfang Battalion, Feng Yongshou. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the person who had just entered and roared,"If the 60th division wants to retreat, then retreat. Our Jiangfang Battalion is not leaving. If the Japanese want to occupy the Xinqiang River Bridge, they will have to step over me!”
The person was called Xu Weizhi, the commander of the 182nd Division of the 60th Division of the Dian Army. The south bank of the Xinqiang River was the defense area of the 60th Division of the G Army. He was ordered by the commander of the 60th Division, Long Yun, to support the river defense camp on the north bank to defend against the Japanese attack. It had been a day and a night since the Japanese attacked Xinqiang Town, but reinforcements had not been seen yet.
"F * ck you, Feng Yongshou, don't think that I'm a coward just because you fought with the Japanese for a day and a night! When did our Dian Army ever cower in the face of the Japanese? In Taierzhuang, our 60th Army was attacked by the Isitani and Itagaki Regiments. We defended for three days and three nights, and many of our brothers died! I hate the Japanese as much as you do!”
Xu Weizhi wasn't a good-tempered person either. He pointed at his nose and glared at Feng Yongshou.
The 60th Division of the Dian Army participated in the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Taierzhuang. It involved the Japanese's 5th Division, the Itagaki Division, and the Japanese's 10th Division, the Isoya Division. The battle lasted for several days, and one brigade commander and five regiment commanders were killed. More than half of the entire army was injured.
The Japanese's 5th division, the Itagaki division, could be said to be the trump card of the Japanese. They had once created a glorious record of defeating more than 30 main divisions of the G army in a row, and were known as the 'steel army'. In the end, at Taierzhuang, they were stuck in front of the Dian Army's wall of flesh and blood, unable to advance even half a step. If it wasn't for T Enbo's delay, they could have completely wiped out the Itagaki Regiment.
The 60th division had suffered a great loss since the battle at Taierzhuang and could only retreat to Csha to rest and recuperate. Therefore, they did not participate in the defense of the W-Han army.
"I don't care. The 18th Division, 50th Division, and 73rd Division of the Xiangnan Army are all retreating from Yinyang. My brother is right in front of us. If I blow up the bridge, how can I face the Xiangnan people?”
Feng Yongshou shouted. If he blew up the bridge, he would drown in the saliva of the people in Changsha!
"Do you think it's just your Xiang Army? Our Dian Army's 3rd Division is also in Yunyang! However, our 182nd Division is defending the south bank of the Xinqiang River. Although we call it a regiment, we only have one main battalion…If we fight to the death here, what if the Japanese force their way across the Xinqiang River?”
Xu Weizhi did not back down either, his eyes red as he retorted.
At this moment, a reporter with an injured arm stumbled into the room and shouted,""Battalion Commander, the Japanese are back!”
"Those damn Japanese are really desperate. It's only daybreak, and they've already launched three charges in a row!”
Feng Yongshou stared at Xu Weizhi with his bull-like eyes and said,""We'll talk about it later. Let's kill these Japanese first!”
"Sigh…Alright, let's beat these Japanese down first!”Xu Weizhi sighed.
