"Commander, the soldiers of the Flower Planters have retreated to the bridgehead. It won't be long before they take down the New Wall River Bridge!”
On a high ground in Xinqiang Town, the Japanese's 13th division's Matsshima regiment commander, Matsshima Koji, heard the report from the signal soldier. He picked up the binoculars and looked at the bridgehead position at Xinqiang River in the distance. His face was as gloomy as water.
Starting from yesterday morning, they had attacked for a day and a night, but they had only managed to occupy Newwall Town. Under the fearless resistance of the Flower Planters 'army, their lightly equipped regiment of more than four thousand people could not even take down a small bridge over the Newwall River.
"Bageya Road, this is simply a disgrace to the Empire's soldiers!”
Matsushima Koji's fist smashed onto the wooden table, causing it to vibrate and make loud banging sounds.
Yamamoto Kazuo, the Chief of Staff of the regiment, picked up his binoculars and looked at the bridgehead. He smiled and said,"Don't worry, Songdao Kun, the Chinese army is already at the end of its rope. It won't be long before the Wei Nation warriors will occupy this bridge that leads to C Sha. Perhaps we can follow up with our victory and occupy the south bank of the Xinqiang River, opening up a path for the Wei Nation.”
When he thought about how the natural barrier of the Shinkou River, which was blocking the way to attack Sand City, could possibly be conquered by him, a warm feeling welled up in Songdao Koji's heart." If we can take down the Shinkou River Bridge, it will be a great honor, and that honor will belong to the Songdao United Team!”
Suddenly, Matsushima Koji picked up his binoculars and frowned. He saw that the charge was once again blocked by the Hanaka family's army. As the attack on Newwall Town was a sneak attack, the Songdao Regiment was light and did not carry the Type 92 Infantry Cannon or heavy weapons such as tanks.
"Why hasn't the Kikuchi Regiment arrived yet? According to the plan, the vanguard should have met up with us this morning. If we have the Type 92 Infantry Cannon…we can take down the bridge in an instant!”
Songdao Koji said angrily.
"I've already sent out a few teams, and they should be able to get in touch with the two squadrons of the Kikuchi Regiment soon. A whole artillery squadron is enough to blow these stupid gardeners into a pile of minced meat…Hehe, I can't wait to smell the burnt meat of the gardeners.”
Yamamoto Kazuo smiled as he stuck out his scarlet tongue and kissed his lips.
" I heard that the women in South H are even more tender and smooth. They're not inferior to the women in Jinling!" Matsushima Koji laughed. This time, he had to enjoy himself in C Sand City. Haha…"
……
It was past nine in the morning. The sun was like a big furnace, scorching the earth. It was so hot that people could not breathe.
Lin Feng and the others rushed all the way and finally arrived outside Newwall Town.
Newwall Town was an important waterway town. It had been a major traffic artery since ancient times, so it was very prosperous.
The roads of the ancient town were paved with bluestone. The shops on both sides had a history of more than a hundred years. Walking in the town, one could naturally appreciate the antique charm of Jiangnan.
At this moment, Newwall Town was in a mess. The corpses of the people and the debris left behind by the refugees were everywhere.
From afar, they could see the raging fire in the ancient town, the pungent smell of burnt human flesh, and the faint sound of gunshots.
"Brother Lin, you were right. The New Wall River Bridge is still in our hands!”
Ma Tianxiang vaguely recognized the direction of the gunshot and said excitedly.
Lin Feng was also a little puzzled. The Jiangfang Battalion was not part of the formal organization of the G Army, and their combat strength was not even considered second-rate. Yet, they were able to block the attack of the Songdao United Regiment for a day and a night.
"Brother Ma, do you still have any soldiers who can fire?”Lin Feng suddenly asked.
Ma Tianxiang was a little confused. He didn't know what Lin Feng was up to. Why would he ask him this at this juncture? However, he only thought for a moment before answering,"I used to have an artillery unit, but the cannons were all thrown to the W-men…I still have a few artillery units left, Old Hu!”
Hearing Ma Tianxiang's shout, an old man with a stubble ran up from behind the team, panting heavily, and said,""Commander, you called me?"
Lin Feng looked at the old man and saw that he was as unkempt as he could be. His beard and hair were covered in mud, and he was so dirty that he was no different from a beggar on the roadside.
" This is the artillery regiment commander of the 160th Division. Ever since the cannons were gone, he was responsible for cooking…"
Ma Tianxiang looked at Old Hu's dirty appearance and said embarrassedly.
"You really know how to fire?"
Lin Feng stared at Old Hu and asked suspiciously.
"Don't look at how dirty he is now. He has participated in the formal training of the military instructors of Country D. When he was forming the German Machinists, he also went to learn and was even praised by the military instructors of Country D!”
Ma Tianxiang was afraid that Lin Feng would not believe him, so he quickly introduced.
"I don't dare to say anything about other cannons, but the German-made Krupp Howitzer can definitely hit wherever it is pointed. If it doesn't hit accurately…you can twist my head off and kick it like a ball!”
Old Hu saw that Lin Feng was doubting his ability and immediately patted his chest unwillingly.
"Okay, I don't want to kick your head…I want you to shove the cannonball into the Japanese's ass. Can you do that?”Lin Feng stared into Old Hu's eyes and asked.
"Haha, don't worry! As long as I have a cannon…I can definitely blow up the Japanese until they forget their parents 'surnames!”
Old Hu stroked his beard and smiled.
"Alright, call all those who know how to fire…follow me!”
Lin Feng no longer doubted it and quickly walked forward.
Old Hu looked at Ma Tianxiang in confusion. He thought to himself,'Where did the cannons come from? We did seize a lot of Japanese Type 92 infantry cannons, but we can't take them away. Didn't they all destroy them?'
Ma Tianxiang was also a little suspicious, but he stared at Lin Feng's back and felt an inexplicable sense of heroism. He said to Old Hu seriously,"Lin Feng is not an ordinary person! Not only did we escape from the Japanese's encirclement alive, but we also wiped out all of them. This was something that we would never have imagined in the past…If he said there was a cannon, then it definitely couldn't be wrong.”
" Hehe, don't worry, Master. This Lin Feng is probably sent from the heavens…" Old Hu lowered his voice and pointed at the sky."I drank a bottle of red medicine that he gave me. Not only did the injury on my arm recover, but even my old cold legs that had been suffering for many years are fine. Now, I'm as strong as a young man!”
Ma Tianxiang had long known the magical effect of the red medicine. He nodded and said,""Tell the brothers to keep their mouths shut…If anyone leaks this information, I won't let them off easily!”
……
Xinqiang Town was built on a mountain. Lin Feng could see a flat open land halfway up the mountain from afar. Standing here, he could see the entire ancient town and even the Xinqiang River Bridge a few kilometers away.
Old Hu was not as physically strong as Lin Feng. As he followed behind Lin Feng and climbed to his destination, he saw eight brand-new Krupp 80mm howitzers from Country D. They were already lined up in a row, and the cannonballs were piled up like a small mountain.
"Oh my god, this is amazing!"
Old Hu's legs went limp and he fell to his knees with a thud.
