At this time, Commander Li didn't care about anything, and immediately changed his order just now, the 49th Division was personally led by himself to rush to Songjiaao for reinforcements, and the other division rushed to Pengze to defend Pengze City, he said to the division commander who guarded Pengze: "Defend Pengze for me, remember that Pengze is our nest, the horn gate of Madang Fortress, if you don't protect it, you and my head and net worth will be all ruined!" ”

The news that Commander Li of the Sixteenth Army personally brought a division to reinforce quickly spread to Commander Xue, and Commander Xue, who received the news, told Han Fei the news as soon as possible. ”

At present, the Chinese army has an advantage in the comparison of the enemy's and our forces here in Songjiaao, the two divisions of the Gui Army plus one division of the Sixteenth Army, as well as the forty-seventh division of the commander of Xue and the horses of Han Fei, have exceeded twice the number of the Fujii brigade, although the main position of the current commander of the Huang army has been broken by the Fujii brigade, but the other flank positions are still there, the main force of the Gui army is still there, as long as the sixteenth army and Han Fei can arrive quickly, they can still repel the onslaught of the Fujii brigade and keep the flank of Madang safe.

Han Fei and Division Commander Xue crossed the river at a ferry port southwest of Madang using a wooden raft made of cut down trees, and after coming up on the opposite bank, Han Fei first asked Haizi to take a reconnaissance platoon as the forward to open the way, Liu Ruye and they advanced on the left and right flanks, and Division Commander Xue's 47th Division 1 followed closely behind, and rushed towards Song Jiaao in a triangular attack posture.

When Captain Bao, who was guarding the position, complained that there were no reinforcements to come over, he suddenly received a call from Commander Li of the 16th Army, and Commander Li asked Captain Bao to assemble a group of ships to cross the river in a short time, and his 49th Division should cross the river immediately!

Captain Bao is really happy and sorrowful, happy that the 16th Army finally rushed over to reinforce, the 16th Army is the descendant of the Central Army, well-armed and well-equipped, the combat effectiveness of the troops is strong, one of their divisions has tens of thousands of horses, which is comparable to their entire Jiangfang Corps, if they can support it, then the Botian detachment that attacked Madang Fortress will not be so easy to gnaw off Madang Fortress, their own Jiangfang Corps has been fighting with devils here for several days, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and they are also very tired, as soon as the main force of the Sixteenth Army arrives, It's time to take a break.

Captain Bao was worried about where he could find so many boats for the main force of the Sixteenth Army to cross the river for a while? Although there are some small boats and gunboats in my fortress, there are only a few dozen, which is far from enough.

The chief of staff beside the Bao Corps hurriedly suggested: "Captain, there are woods everywhere near the fortress, don't you cut down trees and tie them into wooden rafts, and use gunboats and boats to escort them down, just to solve the problem of not having enough ships?" ”

"yes, why didn't I think of it? That's right, just cut down the tree! Captain Bao patted his head and said.

Captain Bao ordered a battalion under his command to go to the nearby woods to cut down trees and tie them into wooden platoons, and in less than half a day, more than 3,000 wooden platoons were completed.

At this moment, it was night, and it was dark that I couldn't see anything clearly, but the brothers of the Jiang Defense Corps were very familiar with the situation of the main force, so they were able to cross the Yangtze River smoothly and catch the troops of the 16th Army waiting to get on the boat.

Seeing that the boats and wooden platoons were coming, the commander of the 49th Division hurriedly urged his subordinates to cross the river quickly, and the commander of the 49th Division saw that it was dark and could not see clearly, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Military seat, if you can't see clearly in the dark, if you want to cause chaos, it is better to rest by the river for one night and set off to cross the river in the early morning tomorrow, right?" ”

"No, tomorrow at dawn, the Japanese planes will definitely come to bomb, we only have a few small anti-aircraft guns, can we stop the bombing of the devil planes?" Commander Li shook his head and said.

The division commander was silent at that time, and what Commander Li said was right, as soon as the devil plane came to bomb at dawn, so many brothers would cross the river and take a wooden platoon, and the losses would be unimaginable.

Tens of thousands of horses and horses immediately crossed the river on the wooden raft, although the view at night was not good, but because the boat was driven by the brothers of the river defense corps under Captain Bao, who were very familiar with the situation of the river and the waterway, the doubts of Commander Li and his subordinates were gradually dispelled, and after tossing all night, the 49th Division all crossed the Yangtze River before dawn, and a reinforced battalion of its forward troops rushed to a valley near the Songjia mountain pass after a rapid march.

The scouts went forward to reconnoitre, and found that a group of devils were entrenched in the front position, and it seemed that this group of devils had just captured that position, and the commander of the reinforced battalion decided to take advantage of the fact that the devils were not firmly established to immediately attack and take the front position.

This reinforced battalion was carefully selected by Commander Li from the two divisions of the 16 th Army, all of them are elite soldiers, and their weapons and equipment are also the most advanced, all equipped with the latest imported submachine guns and grenades, and the fighting morale of the soldiers is also quite high.

Of course, most of these soldiers are bloody men, where can they stand the fingers of the common people, it is indeed natural for soldiers to eat food, but the country is in trouble, and you are afraid to resist the devil, which is definitely a shame for the soldiers.

These men have long been holding their breath, this time they finally have the opportunity to go into battle to kill devils, how can they not seize this excellent opportunity, and the commander of this reinforced battalion is also led by the deputy chief of staff of the 49th Division, with the rank of colonel, and the rank is high enough.

The deputy chief of staff immediately made a combat deployment to seize the front position according to the situation reported by the scouts: use a sharp knife squad to raid up, first solve the devil's post on the position and Ming's firepower point, and the other brothers divided into three teams to launch a siege along the southeast, east, and west directions towards the devil's position, and after judging that the devil's defense in that direction is relatively weak, he immediately dispatched the reserve of the remaining company to launch a general attack on this weak point and take the devil's position in front in one fell swoop.

This tactic is still relatively innovative for the consistent tactics of the Kuomintang army, which can be attacked and retreated, and it is very active, keeping a team of the strongest reserves, watching the food and eating, if there is no emergency, there should be no suspense for the reinforced battalion to take the front position.
