On the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, Qiaotou Town, the headquarters of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army.

Kunomura Momoyo was standing in front of the map at this time, he looked towards Hewan Village, he expected the Chinese troops to cross the Zhujiachuan River to fight, but he did not expect that the Chinese troops would all cross the Zhujiachuan River to fight.

"Detachment leader, it has been reconnoitred clearly, at present Baode County is an empty city, the people in the city have been completely evacuated, at present, the main force of the Chinese army is gathered in the area of Zhujiachuan River Hewan Village, they plan to cross the river from here, according to the report of our reconnaissance troops, there are at least more than 6,000 troops here." Chief of Staff Shaosa came to Momoyo Kunomura, and he reported softly.

After hearing the report of the Chief of Staff of the Shosa, a solemn expression appeared on the face of Momoyo Kunomura, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He wanted to encircle and annihilate the first reserve regiment on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, so far he gathered most of the troops of the Kuno detachment, but now the number of Chinese troops has increased, and they have directly abandoned Baode County, which Kunomura Momoyo never dreamed of.

The Chinese troops are very concerned about the county seat, except for those abandoned troops who are about to collapse at the touch of a button, most of the troops will stick to the county town and fight to the death with the Japanese army, Kunomura Momoyo had expected one point before, that is, let the first reserve regiment occupy Baode County, and tie the first reserve regiment to Baode County, then he can calmly command the troops to fight.

But now the first reserve regiment has given up Baode County, which makes Kunomura Momoyo can't help but be surprised, in his perception of the Chinese troops, except for those wretched troops, there is really no unit that will take the initiative to abandon a county town without the Japanese attack.

"Immediately contact the Aviation Corps and request the Aviation Corps to send bombers to bomb the Shina troops, and inform Iwata Fumizo Nakasa to let his cavalry wing speed up the advance, and let the Okamoto Brigade carry an infantry artillery squadron to the east to attack the China troops from crossing the Zhujiachuan River and encircle and annihilate the China troops that have crossed the Zhujiachuan River. The cavalry units of the Mongolian army were commanded by Yan Sanglai, and the cavalry of the Mongolian army who were unfavorable in battle were all shot. ”

Kunomura Momoyo immediately regained his composure after a brief moment of consternation, and he quickly gave the order.

When the chief of staff was about to start delivering orders, Kunomura Momoyo immediately stopped the chief of staff of Shaosa, he looked at the chief of staff of Shaosa and said, "You take the Saito brigade and an infantry squadron to garrison here, and I will take the rest of the troops to Hewan Village to block the Shina troops from crossing the river." ”

Previously, Kunomura Momoyo thought that an infantry brigade and three cavalry divisions of the puppet army should be able to block the Chinese troops from crossing the Zhujiachuan River, but thinking of the strong combat effectiveness of the first regiment in reserve, and thinking of the two division commanders of Division Ding and Division Cai, Kunomura Taoyo realized that if he did not give up the river defense position to attack, the Chinese troops were likely to cross the Zhujiachuan River.

Thinking of this, Kunomura Momoyo changed his order, and he decided to personally lead his troops to fight in the village of Kawawan.

The Japanese units began to mobilize, two squadrons of anti-tank guns, one squadron of infantry guns, and two infantry brigades under the command of Momoyo Kunomura began to quickly move to the village of Hewan.

The Okamoto Brigade was in the vanguard, Okamoto Hideaki Shaozo commanded the troops to advance quickly towards Hewan Village, and his brigade was only two infantry squadrons left before the attack, but Kunomura Momoyo supplemented the two infantry squadrons to the Okamoto Brigade, and at the same time transferred heavy machine guns and mountain artillery to form a machine gun squadron and an artillery squad to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Okamoto Brigade.

Hideaki Okamoto is a tiger general under the command of Kunomura Momoyo, and it can be seen that he was not simple when he was able to safely withdraw from the siege of the first reserve regiment with his troops, although it was a shrewd deployment of Kunomura Momoyo.

The Japanese army adjusted its operational objectives, and Kunomura Momoyo, with two infantry brigades, three puppet cavalry divisions, and some artillery, began to concentrate in Hewan Village, and their combat mission was to prevent the Chinese troops from crossing the Zhujiachuan River.

However, as the puppet cavalry began to stop attacking, Yin Jin's first battalion quickly crossed the Zhujiachuan River, and the troops of the first battalion began to set up positions north of the third battalion.

Under the cover of two battalions, Fu Tao's second battalion began to cross the river, and when Fu Tao's second battalion finished crossing the river, Japanese bombers appeared over the Chinese troops.

Six Japanese bombers began to bomb the Chinese troops, and the 4th Battalion of Wang Kunyao, who was crossing the river, lost more than 50 people on the spot.

Fortunately, the 6th Garrison Regiment and the 1st Independent Detachment, as well as the troops directly under the 1st Pre-Regiment, were scattered, otherwise the casualties of the troops would have been greater.

The Japanese bombers bombed for more than half an hour, and they tilted all the aerial bombs on the positions of the Chinese troops, and then the six bombers began to lower the altitude and strafe.

After running out of machine gun bullets, the six bombers triumphantly left the sky over the Chinese troops.

Bridges were destroyed, the bodies of Chinese soldiers floated in the river, and the bright red water flowed slowly.

The ground was full of craters, some houses were burning, the smell of gunpowder smoke was pungent, and a smell of blood quickly spread through the air.

The officers and soldiers of the first reserve regiment faced all this very calmly, the bodies of their comrades were quickly sorted out, the Tianwu engineering company quickly began to look for wood to build a pontoon bridge, and the soldiers of the fourth battalion crossed the river under the leadership of the battalion commander Wang Kunyao.

When they reached the center, some of the shorter warriors were completely submerged by the river, and their comrades supported each other and gritted their teeth.

At the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan released wild words to destroy China in three months, and the European and American powers also held such thoughts, but the Chinese troops used flesh and blood to tell them that the destruction of China in three months was just a joke.

Eight months into the war, Chinese forces are still resisting.

"Zheng Jingjing, immediately set up an artillery position, support the infantry across the river, Yue Wu, leave a guard platoon, and the rest of the troops go to guard the artillery position."

After Zhao Lerong discussed with Shen Wei and Sun Ziyuan for a while, Zhao Lerong immediately issued an order.

THE EIGHT 94-TYPE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS OF THE ARTILLERY COMPANY BEGAN TO BE ASSEMBLED, AND ONE MOUNTAIN GUN WAS ERECTED IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS, AND THE MUZZLES OF THE BLACK HOLES POINTED TO THE SKY.

Yue Wu left a guard platoon to protect the regimental headquarters, and the other two platoons were assigned by him to the artillery position to be responsible for guarding.

The fourth battalion crossed the river slowly, with the occasional soldier being swept away by the river, and even a dozen drowned fighters.

But no one will complain about anything, everyone is busy, the Japanese bombers did not hit the morale of the 1st Reserve Regiment, and their bombing and strafing will only make the officers and men of the 1st Reserve Regiment firm in their determination to resist Japan.
