The first real battle between us and the enemy happened suddenly, and it ended very suddenly.

However, the real battle is far from over, because although their strategy was successful, it really angered the commander of the 6th Brigade of the little devils, Yoshiyoshi Akiyama.

And the consequences of angering Akiyama Yoshiyoshi are naturally very serious.

However, the officers and men of the 113th Division seemed to have been prepared for this, and after completely annihilating the vanguard of these two hundred little devils, they were ready to bear the revenge of the little devils.

In the face of the frantic shelling of the 9th Brigade of the little devils at this moment, they were all scattered and hiding in the fortifications built in advance.

Although some shells still fell into the positions of the 113th Division, causing some casualties to them.

However, compared to the firepower of the little devils' shelling, their casualties are completely negligible.

How can there be a battle that does not sacrifice and does not die?

And if it were to be replaced by the previous battles, I am afraid that their casualties would have been several times more than they are now.

Now, because of the appearance of a person, just his words have reduced their losses several times and made them see the hope of victory.

"!"

The officers and men of the 113th Division were all holding back their anger, and their eyes were fiercely glaring at the little devils who were building the pontoon bridge.

If it had been before, they would have definitely hoped that the little devils on the other side of the river would build it slowly, or they would have attacked them earlier.

But at this moment, they hope that those little devils will build the pontoon bridge as soon as possible.

Because they had already received orders from the division, no one was allowed to attack the little devils before most of the pontoon bridge was built.

This means that the faster the imps can build the pontoon, the sooner they can attack it.

But at the same time, their hearts are also full of apprehension, after all, the murderous reputation of the little devil has already taken root in their hearts.

Although with the victory in the battle just now, let them know that the little devil is not an invincible existence, but it still does not completely eliminate the worries in their hearts.

But in any case, they had no choice but to fight, and they never thought of choosing any other path.

Time passed minute by minute, and the 9th Mountain Artillery Wing was still bombarding the positions of the 113th Division, but as time went by, the 113th Division had no other moves, and their shells were not inexhaustible, so slowly, their firepower was also inadvertently weakened.

Until now, the 113th Division's position could only be heard by Xi Suosuo, and the explosion of some shells was no longer the loud and deafening sound of the previous one.

On the south bank of the Huai River, almost all of the three pontoon bridges built by the little devils at the same time were built to a third of the length.

The more you get to the center of the Huai River, the difficulty of building a pontoon bridge will be reduced.

Therefore, at this moment, the speed at which the little devil built the pontoon bridge has also slowed down a lot, even less than two-thirds of the original speed.

Waiting seemed to be an ordeal for the officers and soldiers of the 113th Division.

But at this time, the little devils who built the pontoon bridge were also nervous, if it weren't for the result of the annihilation of the previous vanguard team, it would be fine.

But at the thought of the annihilation of the vanguard team, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs, and they didn't know if it was because the river wind was too cold, or they were afraid of the enemy's sudden attack.

After all, they were in the center of the Huai River at the moment, and if the enemy suddenly attacked them, they would not even be able to escape except for death.

Jumping into the river? On such a cold day and such a cold water, I am afraid that without the enemy's action, they will be frozen to death by this cold and biting river.

At this time, with Zhang Shaofang as the commander of the 113th Division, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart at this moment, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Yang Yun.

As a result, he saw that Yang Yun was just an old god looking at the Huai River in front of him, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Zhang Shaofang didn't understand why Yang Yun was so confident, and at the same time sighed in his heart about the gap between himself and him.

Since Yang Yun's ability has been fully recognized by the high-ranking officers of the 113th Division, yes, when everyone saw his confident expression, the somewhat uneasy heart also regained its calm.

It's really a general!

Zhang Shaofang couldn't help but give Yang Yun a thumbs up in his heart, and he also believed that it wouldn't be long before Yang Yun's ability would definitely surpass him as a division commander.

No, to be precise, Yang Yun and his new regiment have far surpassed him and his 113th Division.

On the other side, on the south bank of the Huai River.

The commander of the 6th Brigade of the Little Devil, Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, kept his eyes on the pontoon bridge being built in the Huai River, as well as the enemy's positions on the north bank of the Huai River.

I don't know why, faintly, his heart has been very uneasy.

He even had a feeling that the reason why the enemy had not attacked them was not because they were afraid, but because a larger conspiracy was brewing.

Yes, if it weren't for the total annihilation of the previous vanguard squad, he wouldn't have such an idea, just as the enemy army had been frightened by the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire.

But now, he no longer thinks so, and the total destruction of the vanguard team is undoubtedly the best proof.

Akiyama Yoshiyo's eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a sense of coldness all over his body, and after a while, he shouted again to Serikawa Xiu, the commander of the Ninth Wing of the Mountain Artillery: "Serikawa-kun! ”

"Hay!"

Hearing the brigade commander's shout, Serikawa Xiu immediately shook his body.

"Continue to increase the firepower and give me a bombardment of the enemy positions on the north bank of the Huai River!"

"This ......"

"Yaga! Serikawa-kun, are you trying to disobey my orders? ”

Seeing Serikawa Xiu hesitating, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi opened his eyes angrily and asked sharply.

"Report to Your Excellency General, I don't dare!"

Serikawa almost broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly bowed down to admit his mistake.

"Since you don't dare, why don't you hurry up and carry out the order!"

"Your Excellency General......"

"Say!"

Yoshiyoshi Akiyama is not a stupid person, and he may not have noticed anything in his anger at first, but at this moment, when he calmed down a little, he saw Seragawa Shu hesitate, and even understood that he seemed to have something to say.

Otherwise, with his ability, even if he was given another list, he would not dare to disobey his orders.

"Your Excellency, after several hours of continuous bombardment of the enemy's positions, we have run out of shells, and if we continue to bombard, I am afraid that we will run out of shells before the pontoon bridge is built."

Serikawa Shu finally spoke slowly and said the reason......
