"What? You said that your regiment commander went to the front and didn't come back? This little devil hasn't attacked Dongliu yet, what important thing can he Wu Yuyuan do not even want to see ...... in front of Shangfeng? ”
After seeing Wang Xitao and his party, Staff Officer Zhou had just said a few words according to what Wu Yuyuan had explained to him, and immediately some "indignant" officers jumped out to crusade against Staff Officer Zhou and Wu Yuyuan, as if they had done something rebellious.

For this kind of behavior of his subordinates, Wang Xitao neither stopped nor praised. After all, Wu Yuyuan didn't come to greet him, it's always a good thing for someone to stand up and help vent his anger, Wang Xitao likes this feeling of being in power; However, now that the war has started, the emotions of the officers and men on the front line must be taken care of.
Wang Xitao is now more concerned about what is the motivation for Wu Yuyuan, the commander of the 815th Regiment, to leave her as a commander and run to the forefront? Could it be that the hostile situation has changed dramatically on the way he came?
"Staff Officer Zhou, did you find a devil at the front of your regiment, so Wu Yuyuan decided to do this......?" Wang Xitao's remarks were half a question and half a chance to give the 815 regiment a chance to step down. Since Wang Xitao, who is a commander, can take the initiative to hand over the steps, Staff Officer Zhou didn't know where he had to get off the donkey quickly, and he quickly replied vaguely:
"The military seat is wise, hasn't it been a day of fighting on the side of the Horse Fortress? Naturally, our eastward side is not very peaceful, and Wu Tuanzuo ran to the front line and refused to come back because of the urgency of the responsibility of defending the territory on his shoulders....."
Seeing that Wang Xitao, the acting commander, had expressed his attitude of not continuing to pursue the matter, the major who spoke viciously just now could only close his mouth stupidly.
Since Li Yunheng was beaten into the prison of the Military Justice Department, the "old people" who had a relationship with Li Yunheng in the 16th Army fell into panic. As the saying goes, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Wang Xitao was replaced as the army commander, and the 16th Army was definitely going to carry out "large-scale personnel adjustments".
Originally, this major wanted to take this opportunity to pat Wang Xitao's ass, but now it seems that he has done useless work.
"In that case, let's go to the front of the line... After all, it's closer to the Japanese and you can see it more clearly......"
Since Wu Yuyuan was not there, Wang Xitao did not want to go to the headquarters of the 815th Regiment according to the original plan, but the new plan he proposed was immediately opposed by the officers behind him.
"Never! Throne! How can you risk your life? Tens of thousands of brothers in our 16th Army are still pointing at you to take us to fight devils......"
"Yes! Oh, yes! Please think twice! Nowadays, there are many Japanese warships cruising in the river, and if they are shelled, the consequences will be unimaginable......"
Looking at these "loyal" subordinates in front of him, Wang Xitao felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, as the acting commander of the 16th Army, Wang Xitao and Wu Yuyuan faced almost the same dilemma: Wu Yuyuan did not have enough time to sort out the 815th Regiment, and Wang Xitao did not have enough time to organize the 16th Army.
All of them are better than they sing! Why don't you want him, who is in the military seat, to put his life at risk? What are the consequences? It's all!
You simply say that you are afraid of death and are unwilling to go to the front line to take risks! What kind of generals lead what kind of soldiers! The performance of these officers in the military headquarters of the 16th Army is really compatible with their old commander "straw bag" Li Yunheng!
The remaining officers who did not speak out against them were basically the old troops brought by Wang Xitao from the fortress headquarters and the "young Zhuang faction" who were temporarily promoted from within the 16th Army. It seems that only these people will come in handy in the next battle......
************************************************
Under the cover of night, a fleet of ships came up on the river near the eastward stream. At the head were three gunboats, followed by twenty-one transports, followed by three more gunboats, and then a long fleet of transports. Although these are small boats with a displacement of about two or three hundred tons, due to the large number, the number of troops should not be less than two infantry squadrons at one time.
On the bridge of the "Kigetsu Maru," one of the three gunboats in the middle of the fleet, Nishimura Nakasa, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing of Taiwan, was holding a telescope to observe the riverbank by the channel at this time.
In the consciousness of the Chinese army, the Japanese army was afraid of night fighting, and Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata took advantage of this misunderstanding of the Chinese army, so he ordered the Nishimura Brigade to carry out the landing at night.
Since the junior soldiers of the Potian detachment were basically Taiwanese, the Hatian detachment did not suffer from the "night phobia" commonly suffered from in army divisions. This night attack will be an absolute surprise attack for the Chinese troops stationed in the area of Dongliu and Maolinzhou.
"Abe Shaosa! This attack is carried out by your infantry squadron as the arrow! I hope you can uphold the honor of the Imperial Army! ”
Nishimura Nakasa's side stood the three squadron leaders of the 1st Brigade, and when they heard Nishimura Nakasa's order, a Japanese soldier with eyes immediately took a step forward, and then lowered his voice and said, "Hai! Our Anbu squadron will definitely live up to the trust of His Excellency the Captain! Two hours! In two hours at most, my squadron will be able to build a solid landing ground for the detachment! The military flag of the empire will fly on the positions of the Chinese army! ”
"Excellent! Abe Shaosa! I love your courage and self-confidence! Go and claim your own honor! ”
Nishimura Nakasa is not "polite" with Abe Shaosa, Abe Shaosa is the most capable squadron leader in the entire Taiwan Infantry 2nd Wing, his Abe squadron once broke through the five lines of defense of the Sichuan Army's Yang Sen Department in Anqing in a row, and the 400 Japanese troops rushed 15 kilometers to a division of the Sichuan Army!
Nishimura Nakasa prepared a real "diamond diamond" for the Chinese defenders on the shore!
"Assemble! Get your gear in order! Climb aboard! Put the dinghy! ”
After receiving the order from the flagship, the Japanese troops on the twenty-one transport ships at the front began to move quickly, and with the command issued by the sailors, more than 400 Japanese troops of the Abe squadron began to board the ships in batches.
In order not to attract the attention of the Chinese defenders on shore, the crane wheels, pulleys and ropes used to lower the dinghy on the transport ship were coated with large quantities of olive oil. The lubricated equipment was very quiet throughout the operation, and the black dinghy and dinghy fell to the surface like silent ghosts, and then rowed to the shore by the Japanese soldiers on board.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun, crooked handles, and grenadiers placed at the front of the dinghy raised the black holes, as if as long as Abe Shaoza gave an order, countless bullets could instantly tear apart the night!
