"How did he go? We found it with a hard time. ”

"I've found the answer, but he hasn't. The warrior can't afford to be confused, he needs to keep looking. ”

"Oh, I'm sure he'll find it."

At this time, it began to drizzle in the sky. Shao Fei and Li Ping returned to Qianshan County to buy some necessary supplies and prepare to return to Tangjiawan.

"Stepping" and "......"

Thousands of soldiers of the Sichuan Army hurriedly marched out of Qianshan County, and it seemed that they had received some urgent orders. But as soon as they left, Qianshan County was empty again.

In the distance, the previous colonel rode up to Shao Fei and asked, "Why did you come back again?" We won't be guarding the buried mountain, so you should leave early. ”

Li Ping asked in a reproachful tone, "How can you Sichuan Army be like this?" Just go, what about the hundreds of thousands of people in the county? If this is Sichuan, will you give up easily? ”

Shao Fei patted Li Ping and said, "Forget it, you won't understand the hard work of the Sichuan army, and you can't look at the surface of everything."

"Hehe, you kid is a character." The colonel smiled and explained, "It is precisely because there are too many refugees gathered in Qianshan, and it is also an ancient cultural city with a long history, so our Sichuan army cannot burn the flames of war here. Once the war starts, the lives will be ruined and not a single tile will be left, which is a crime committed against the people of Anhui. ”

Li Ping glanced at him and said, "What you say is better than what you sing."

The colonel didn't care about Li Ping's attitude at all, and said, "I'm leaving." After a rainstorm, the water in the Anhui River rose, if I don't kill him, I will be sorry for the people of Anhui as the Sichuan army! ”

Shao Fei saluted and said, "Take care!"

The colonel returned the salute and said, "You too!" After this battle, we will retreat to the upper and lower stone monuments, which are our main battlefields. ”

"Drive!" After speaking, the colonel rode away quickly and rushed to the beachhead of the Anhui River.

Shao Fei watched those Sichuan soldiers march forward in the rain, and couldn't help but be in awe. And when Li Ping heard the colonel's words just now, he felt ashamed in his heart, because she had just said something that she shouldn't have said.

"Let's go."

Shao Fei took Li Ping and walked towards Qianshan.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The defensive battle of the Wanjiang River began. Because of the recent heavy rains, the river rose very high, but the Japanese army still began to force the crossing of the Anhui River in this situation that was completely unfavorable to them.

The Japanese army needed time, and if they did not drive the tens of thousands of troops of the 27th Army out of Qianshan as soon as possible, the troops assembled in Anqing in the south would not be able to advance westward, and their next target would be the fortress of Maguan, the throat of the Yangtze River.

The 146th Division of the Sichuan Army occupied the commanding heights on the banks of the Wanjiang River and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops crossing the river.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese army used kayaks and bamboo rafts to force the crossing of the Anhui River.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The surface of the river roared incessantly, and countless shells fell into the water, setting off a column of water more than ten meters high. Some bamboo rafts could not withstand the waves set off by the cannonballs and were overturned, and countless devils fell into the water.

"Help~" "Help Me~" "......"

There were constant cries for help on the river, but those kayaks could accommodate only a limited number of troops, and in addition to the fierce attack of the Sichuan army on the river, they could only watch as those "comrades-in-arms" who had eaten with them and done evil together were washed downstream by the turbulent river.

"Rush~" "......"

The Japanese troops, who were lucky enough to rush ashore, quickly disembarked and attacked at the stall.

The 146th Division had already made preparations and built fortifications not far from the booth, and the officers and men of the third battalion of the 782nd Regiment were ready to fight. As soon as the devils came ashore, they launched a fierce attack before they could gain a foothold.

"Dadada" "......"

Several German Maxim water-cooled machine guns kept sparking, and the muzzles of the guns were red, but they were quickly cooled by the rain.

"Hit hard! Drive the devil back to the river for me! ”

The colonel regiment commander, who had said goodbye to Shao Fei before, personally commanded the battle at the front. The devils who came ashore were quickly wiped out, and the blood flowed into the river along with the rain.

The Wanjiang River blockade battle is in full swing, and the battle in the other direction is about to start. The Sakai detachment was divided into two routes, one to cross the Anhui River, and the other to pass through Laotouling.

Shao Fei and Li Ping returned to Qianshan County, and although it was raining heavily, the road was crowded. When the people saw the Sichuan army withdrawing from the county and heard the sound of artillery coming from the river, the people were panicked and fled the county town to take refuge in the mountains.

"There's a rice shop that's decimising meters again, go quickly!"

Someone suddenly shouted on the road, and a group of people who had fled here rushed towards Namixing.

Shao Fei was curious to check what was going on, only to see a long queue at the door of a rice shop. Those refugees were very knowledgeable and consciously lined up in a long line, and none of them stepped forward to rob madly, because they all had a grateful heart.

The men at the gate of the rice shop distributed the rice to the people one by one, without hesitation.

Shao Fei felt this because of this, but Li Ping felt incredible, shook his head and said: "Is the boss of the rice store crazy and giving rice to the people for free."

Shao Fei sighed: "They are all businessmen with a conscience, and they know that the hidden mountains are not guaranteed, and they will never leave a grain of grain to the Japanese."

(After the Japanese army occupied Qianshan, there was a great food crisis.) ）

Li Ping felt extremely proud and said, "This is the consciousness of our Anhui people, haha."

"Let's go, it looks like we can't buy anything."

The two left Qianshan County again. But at this time, the clothes of the two were already soaked by the rain. Shao Fei also felt helpless, such a chaotic hidden mountain, he couldn't buy anything at all.

The battle on the Wanjiang River continues. The torrential rain is like a note, and the river is becoming more and more turbulent. However, the Japanese army still did not give up and launched round after round of attacks on the riverbank.

After landing on the shore, the Japanese quickly dispersed and hid in the artillery pit, and then set up machine guns and fired at the opposite side. The other landed infantrymen charged under the cover of machine guns.

"Dadada" "......"

The dense rain of bullets on both sides intertwined with each other, and the stalls were already covered with hundreds of corpses of devils. However, there are more and more devils coming ashore, and the stall is in danger of being captured at any time.

The commander of the 782nd Regiment picked up the phone and swiped it a few times, shouting: "Hey~ Division headquarters, please ask for five minutes of artillery support for the stall and the riverside."

"Bang Bang Bang" "......"

The artillery on the hill was condescending, and carried out a covering bombardment of the devils at the stalls.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

Patches of sand were lifted from the stalls in front, and the devils who came ashore had nowhere to hide, and the bombed were shattered and the flesh and blood were blurred.

And the rolling waves set off by the riverside completely curbed the follow-up devils.

"Brothers, kill!"

The soldiers of the Sichuan army got on their bayonets and, after the regiment commander gave an order, rushed out of the position with a roar.

The rain poured down, and the sound of killing the stalls shook the sky. The two sides engaged in a fierce fight. The bayonet was red, and it was quickly washed away by the rain, but it was quickly red. On this battlefield, either you die or he dies, and only the brave can stand to the end.

Half an hour later, this bloody battle ended with the victory of the Sichuan army. The remaining soldiers quickly withdrew to their booths and continued to block the attack.

It didn't take long for the 2nd Battalion of the 782nd Regiment to be reinforced, replacing the 3rd Battalion to continue to block the Japanese troops at the stall.

The Japanese army was fiercely blocked by the Sichuan army and suffered heavy losses. No matter how they attacked, they could not break through the stall positions. The main reason is the fire reinforcements from the commanding heights on both sides, and the fact that they chose the wrong weather.

In this Wanjiang blockade battle, the Japanese army lost nearly 1,000 people and stopped moving. Now they can only pin their hopes in the direction of Old Man Ridge. And Shao Fei and Li Ping are also heading to Laotouling, because that is the only way to go back.
