Wu Chaowen said: "Shizuo, I think this is wrong, we must immediately increase troops to the Jianbushan Reservoir, you know, we have captured the military map of the Japanese army on the battlefield in China, the military map of the Japanese army is more detailed than ours, and even the mountain village paths will appear on the map, which fully shows that the Japanese army has a large number of spies infiltrated our land before the attack, and it took a long time to make this preparation." In the same way, the Japanese army has been planning to enter Burma for a long time, and they will definitely send spies to observe the terrain and draw drawings, such as the Jianbu Mountain Reservoir is not a small project, it is entirely possible to appear on the map of the Japanese army, once the Japanese army guesses our intentions, the next step will definitely be to seize the Bujian Mountain Reservoir and control the floodgates. ”

"Shhh Lu Guoquan took a breath of cool air, the expression on his face became more solemn, and then he said awe-inspiringly: "Herald, immediately order Chen Feng, the commander of the regiment, to run over!" ”

As a matter of fact, the defense line built by the 93rd Division on the south bank of the Liangmiao River was really a bluff for the Japanese army to see, once the Japanese army did not know what to do, the tank infantry drove into the river beach, and a platoon of Nationalist soldiers would open the gate at the Jianbushan Reservoir more than ten miles away to release water, and as soon as the flood gate was opened to the end, the rushing and roaring flood would swoop down like a mountain and a sea, and the river area would suddenly increase to 200 meters away.

Wu Chaowen's words immediately aroused Lu Guoquan's vigilance, the Japanese army repeatedly attacked the bridge deck, tanks and infantry did not move, it was indeed a bit abnormal, once the Japanese army saw through his intentions, sent troops to occupy the reservoir, and controlled the sluice gate, the Japanese tanks and infantry were enough to swagger across the river, and the entire bluffing defense line could not stop the coordinated attack of the Japanese infantry and tanks, and the task of the 93rd Division to defend the Liangmiao Bridge was a complete failure.

Soon, Chen Feng, the head of a regiment, ran in panting, saluted and reported, Lu Guoquan immediately stepped forward and said urgently: "Chen Feng, you immediately lead the whole regiment to support the Jianbushan Reservoir, you must reach it within an hour." If the Jianbu Mountain Reservoir has been occupied by the enemy, you must be desperate to recapture it for Lao Tzu, and be ready to open the floodgates at any time to release water. ”

Chen Feng said awe-inspiringly: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" He walked away quickly.

Running for more than ten miles in an hour seems to have a lot of time, but there are several mountain beams to climb along the way, and the road is rugged and difficult, and an hour is not enough.

When Chen Feng went out on his front foot, Lu Guoquan ordered to immediately send a telegram to the platoon commander who controlled the sluice gate of the reservoir, ordering him to be vigilant to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, and to immediately open the sluice gate and release water in the event of an attack.

Once the Japanese army appeared at the Jianbu Mountain Reservoir, it was almost certain that the Japanese army had seen through his intentions, and although a platoon might not be able to stop the Japanese army for a long time, even if it was a few minutes of water, it could create a little difficulty for the enemy to cross the river.

Wu Chaowen said: "Shizuo, since we have suspected that the Japanese army has seen through our intentions, I think it is better to open the sluice gate and release the water now, once the Liangmiao River is filled with water, even if the Japanese army closes the sluice gate, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the river water will not stay for too long, but there should still be an hour, and we can block the enemy for an extra hour." ”

Lu Guoquan hesitated slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Wait and see!" ”

In his heart, in fact, he still held a lot of hope, the Japanese army did not see through his intentions, and the great opportunity to make contributions was still waiting for him in front of him.

The Liangmiao Bridge was undoubtedly the best and fastest way for the Japanese army to cross the river, so the Japanese army did not hesitate to suffer casualties, repeatedly attacked, and the planes and artillery bombarded in turn, and there was a posture of not giving up until the goal was achieved.

It had not been more than an hour since the battle began, the first battalion had already been disabled, and now the second battalion was constantly in a hurry, so Lu Guoquan had no choice but to send another battalion to take over the defense.

The bridgehead area is limited, and the number of troops invested is at most one battalion, although the ring fortifications are still well repaired, but they cannot withstand the bombardment of Japanese planes and artillery in turn, and the casualties and the cruelty of the battle can be imagined. Lu Guoquan had already sent several telegrams to the military headquarters asking for reinforcements, but it seemed that the reinforcements were still far away. It is no wonder that the planes on the road are hovering all the time, and the troops can only open up the distance in twos and threes, taking advantage of the gap between the Japanese planes to advance, where can they be fast.

The expeditionary force does not have a brigade-level establishment, which to a large extent means that the chairman of the committee still imperceptibly agrees with the bloated command system mentioned by Jiang Haoran, and this situation is gradually changing, at least the corps and corps that appeared before the Wuhan Battle are basically invisible now.

Like the 93rd Division, there are three infantry regiments directly under the jurisdiction of the following divisions, and the strength is only more than 7,000, after a regiment is transferred to the Jianbushan Reservoir, there are only two regiments left on the front line, and one regiment is only three infantry battalions, in less than an hour, the Liangmiao Bridge position has already consumed two infantry battalions, at this rate, it will take only two hours, the 93rd Division should basically be exhausted, so it is understandable that Lu Guoquan is in a hurry to catch fire.

In the jungle west of the south bank of the Liangmiao River, the regiment commander Chen Feng was marching with the soldiers of the first regiment.

In the jungle west of the north bank of the Liangmiao River, the Japanese army's small island brigade was also marching rapidly.

In terms of time, the Japanese Xiaodao Brigade was more than ten minutes earlier than Chen Feng and them, so they had already lost a lot of Chen Feng and them in terms of distance, and now the key to the battle was on this sluice gate in the Jianbushan Reservoir, once the Japanese army controlled the sluice, their tanks and infantry could swagger into the Liangmiao River, and the defense line of the 93rd Division would immediately collapse. On the contrary, once the Nationalist army took control of the sluice, the only way for the Japanese army to attack from the bridge, although the casualties of the Nationalist army were large, but the Japanese army was also not small, and who won and who lost on both sides was still full of variables.

Therefore, the battle in front of us is a race against time, and whoever controls the floodgates of the Jianbu Mountain Reservoir first will gain control of the battlefield.

However, almost at the same time, in the jungle east of the north bank of the Liangmiao River, there is another unit that is also marching in a hurry, they are the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, and the tactical purpose of the captain Su Canwen is very clear, that is, to attack the Japanese headquarters or ammunition depot, with a small unit like them, of course, they cannot compete head-on with the enemy's large forces at the wing level, and if they want to completely block the enemy's task as scheduled, they can only start from the Japanese headquarters or ammunition depot.

If the Japanese ammunition depot is blown up, or the command system is paralyzed, the Japanese army will be forced to stop the attack. If they succeed, then there is a third variable in the battle, and everything becomes confusing.
