Lieutenant General Hirose raised his binoculars.
The opposite river bank was very quiet.
They stopped firing.
Why?
Were there no artillery shells?
This was simply impossible!
In the past two days, he had been receiving information from the Tufei Yuan intelligence agency.
Although he still had vague information about the Northwest Army.
But one thing was certain.
The Northwest Army did not lack artillery shells.
Then what was going on?
What tricks were the Northwest Army playing?
There was no air force, nor was there any bombing. It was dead silent.
It was as if the Puppet Empire's army did not exist.
In his line of sight, there were fifteen floating bridges.
There didn't seem to be anything strange.
The bridges erected by the Northwest Army were much more stable than the bridges erected by the Great Puppet Empire.
On the river surface, there were many iron boats. They were covered with thick steel plates and connected by thick and long iron chains.
The width was just enough for a heavy truck to pass through.
There was nothing to say about the material.
"Baka!"
"No matter what you're up to, if you don't attack, then we'll attack!”
"A squadron, press forward!"
It was better to press forward and test the waters first.
This floating bridge didn't seem to be dangerous.
Then, press on.
If there were no unforeseen circumstances, they would launch a large-scale attack!
In any case, this terrain not only limited the Great Puppet Empire's tanks, it also limited the Northwest Army's tanks.
He would fight this battle slowly.
"Hirose!"
"How can the 1st Company do that? There are still other pontoons, 15 in total.”
"If you want to send them, send the 15th squadron. First, use three squadrons to attract their firepower!”
"The other squadrons, attack from the other pontoons!”
"If we attack 15 times at the same time, their firepower will be difficult to take care of!”
"Also, you can order the Heavy Artillery Brigade to bombard the enemy's position and suppress their firepower!”
"Make it impossible for them to concentrate their firepower and attack the Empire's warriors who are crossing the pontoon bridge.”
Lieutenant General Bao Zong suggested.
"Isn't this too risky?"
"We still don't know the exact movements of the Northwest Army.”
Lieutenant General Hirose could not help but retort.
Fifteen squadrons, that was more than three thousand people.
Moreover, the Northwest Army on the other side was so quiet that no one knew what they were up to.
"I think so!“
"Take more than 3,000 people to test the attack. If it doesn't work, retreat!”
Lieutenant General Yu Du nodded.
He had just observed the floating bridge, and there was no problem with it.
"We better be careful!"
Lieutenant General Hirose shook his head.
He had a feeling that the Northwest Army was up to something.
"I think you're afraid, right?"
Lieutenant General Bao Zong glanced at Lieutenant General Hirose." The 8th division was wiped out, but we are not the 8th division.”
"We have three Regiments!"
"Commander Benzhuang wants us to eliminate this resistance force of the Northwest Army.”
"Are we just going to stop?”
"When the commander blames you, are you going to take the blame?”
The three of them were all lieutenant generals and major generals.
At the same level.
Only Lieutenant General Hirose was slightly more impressive, as he was the major general of the 10th division.
The 10th division was the commander of the Guandong Army.
Direct Line!
……
Hearing this sentence.
Lieutenant General Hirose narrowed his eyes.
With the three major generals together, no one would submit to the other unless they were suppressed by a higher level.
This is a great taboo for military strategists.
Now, both of them were willing to split up into fifteen groups.
He was the only one who objected.
If he insisted on going his own way and reported it to Commander Honsho…
The outcome was not good.
Commander Bensho's order was to destroy the independent reinforcement division and avenge their humiliation.
They had been dawdling for several days.
It would not make sense if he continued to dawdle.
Lieutenant General Hirose raised his binoculars and observed again.
It shouldn't be a problem for the heavy artillery to suppress the enemy's firepower.
The pontoon bridge did not seem to have any problems.
"Let's wait for a while. Send a dozen people to the pontoon bridge to see if there are any problems.”
"If there are no problems, then attack!"
Lieutenant General Hirose came up with a compromise.
It wasn't a good idea to stay stagnant here.
……
The 15 little puppets quickly climbed out of the trenches.
After passing through the flat riverbank, they boarded fifteen pontoons.
He was careful along the way.
He kept checking the situation of the floating bridge.
Even when they reached the other side of the river, the end of the pontoon bridge was still the same.
"Order the Heavy Artillery Brigade to fire at the Northwest Army's position!”
"Order, take out fifteen squadrons and immediately board the pontoon bridge!”
"Order, take out a portion of grenade launchers, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and 70-caliber mortars and give them to the three squadrons. Concentrate your firepower and attract the attention of the Northwest Army!“
" Other squadrons, charge at full force!"
"Attack the Northwest Army!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Lieutenant General Hirose looked through the binoculars for a long time but found nothing unusual.
He finally made up his mind and began to attack tentatively!
As long as they could attract the firepower of the Northwest Army, the other squadrons would charge across the pontoon bridge and engage in melee combat. That would be the time for the Great Puppet Empire's soldiers to show their might.
No matter how fierce the enemy's firepower was, it was useless.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Lieutenant General Zong Bao and Lieutenant General Yu Du pulled out their command sabers. The snow-white sabers sparkled under the sunlight.
……
"Follow me to the pontoon bridge!"
Squadron Leader Yamada rushed out, leading his squadron across the river bank and onto the pontoon bridge.
He ran to the end of his line of sight and saw the flag of the Northwest Army fluttering in the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of artillery fire was deafening.
This was the sound of Little Puppet's Heavy Cannon Squadron.
Cannons streaked across the sky and landed on the Northwest Army's position.
Smoke and dust rose everywhere!
The sound of the cannon made Squadron Leader Yamada quicken his pace.
"Speed up!"
"Charge over!"
"Tear that person apart!"
As long as they crossed the pontoon bridge, reached the other side, and then crossed the river bank, they would be able to charge at that person.
However…
Little Puppet didn't know.
There were fifteen fortresses scattered around the Northwest Army's camp.
These fortresses were covered with reinforced concrete.
Each fortress was connected to the trenches. The top of the wall was two meters thick, and the outer layer was covered with thick armor, gravel, sandbags, and earth.
It could withstand a 100mm caliber cannon and could withstand an aerial bomb weighing more than 250 kilograms.
The fortress was already covered in camouflage.
The 88mm anti-aircraft gun inside was already laid flat.
The cannons were already pointed at the pontoon bridge.
Each cannon was served by twelve artillery soldiers.
Each gate was responsible for a pontoon bridge.
He was waiting for Little Puppet!
