"Baga, order the troops to speed up, and be sure to encircle and annihilate these damn Shina people in Banqiao" Mitsui, who was riding on the horse, waved the command knife in his hand violently, and the soldiers who had already run exhausted had to grit their teeth and move their steps, but in their hearts they were secretly scolding Mitsui who didn't have back pain when he spoke. Running here from Madian Railway Station, I have walked more than 50 miles on foot, not to mention carrying weapons and ammunition, even if I am tired of marching empty-handed, Mitsui is extremely easy to ride a horse.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, there is a stone bridge in front, do you want to send troops to reconnoiter first" The adjutant kindly advised Mitsui, who was already close to madness, according to the content of the infantry drill code in the military academy, when encountering suspicious terrain, he must carry out reconnaissance before continuing the march. Mitsui's adjutant was a kind reminder, but Mitsui's only idea now was to encircle and annihilate the troops of the people who attacked the train station, and the others were not in his mind, so Mitsui gave his adjutant a roll of his eyes, but he didn't pay attention to his kindness.

"Order the first squad to carry out fire reconnaissance on the side of the river" Standing on the side of the Shitan River, Mitsui only ordered a Japanese squad to use machine guns to conduct fire reconnaissance according to the usual practice, and did not send troops to cross the river to conduct field reconnaissance. The two light machine guns that suppressed the left and right positions fired at the riverbank, and the bullets that crossed the riverbank flew into the woods on the opposite side of the riverbank, startling a large flock of birds in the woods.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, the frightened birds in the bushes on the other side of the river, if the people of China had ambushed their troops in the bushes, wouldn't these birds have been gone a long time ago. Now these birds are all frightened by our fire reconnaissance, which means that there are no ambushes in the bushes on the opposite side of the riverbank, and all the people of China should go to besiege Banqiao" Mitsui proudly pointed to the frightened bird with the wound in the bushes, showing his keen observation, but he didn't expect that the frightened birds in the bushes were live creatures caught by the people of Banqiao who Luo Ying spent money to hire them, and they were deliberately released by Zhao Zhi who was lurking in the bushes.

Mitsui waved his hand after the "crossing the bridge" was displayed, and the assembled Japanese puppet army began to line up to prepare to cross the bridge, Mitsui was not stupid, out of caution, most of the troops who crossed the bridge in advance were the troops of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the Japanese troops who followed the Imperial Cooperative Army across the bridge only had two machine gun squads, and they crossed the bridge in a hurry to establish a machine gun position to stabilize their position. With the increase in the number of people crossing the bridge and the smooth erection of the machine gun position, Mitsui and the officers' hanging hearts gradually relaxed, and the mortars and heavy machine guns left in the middle were also moved to the front.

"Open fire" was accompanied by a roar, and more than a dozen trees suddenly fell from the bushes on the other side of the river, and the tank ironclad hidden in the bushes was exposed. Before the big guys could open fire, the open space in the bushes rang out, and more than a dozen grenade grenades rose into the air mixed with the same number of mortar shells, and fell towards the river banks on both sides of the stone beach. "Anti-artillery, concealment, concealment" is different from the imperial army looking up, the veterans of the Japanese army are all too familiar with the whistling sound in mid-air, it is the sound of 60 mortars and 50 mm grenadier shells bursting into the air, and the landing point of these shells is where they are now.

The well-trained Japanese soldiers leaned down at the first moment, and the officers who led the team had already calculated the direction and orientation of the opponent's artillery position in their hearts, and only waited for the opponent's artillery bombardment to pass, and then organized their soldiers to launch a counterattack. "Boom", "boom", "boom", "boom" The shells that fell in mid-air blew up the two ends of the stone bridge in clusters of gunsmoke, and the Imperial Allied Army, which had no time to hide and hide, was immediately drowned in the smoke, and the sparse stumps that had been cut by shrapnel were scattered everywhere by the air.

"Boom" and "boom" came out with a few sounds that were louder than when the mortars were fired, the smoke from the ejection of several balls of artillery was raised from the bushes on the opposite bank, several fireballs rose from the Japanese puppet army column on the other side of the stone bridge, and more than a dozen Japanese puppet soldiers were thrown high by the explosion. "It's the 37 tank gun, it's the tank gun, the people in China are bombarding us with the tanks of the empire" A blackened officer was pulled out of the scorched earth by his soldiers, pointing to the smoke rising from the opposite bank and shouting, the Japanese troops on the other side of the river knew that the powerful explosions just now were actually shells from the 37 tank guns.

The Japanese machine gunners who had already crossed the stone bridge risked their lives to pick up their machine guns and shoot at the bushes, but the caliber of the Japanese light machine guns was too small, and the bullets that entered the bushes could not penetrate the protective armor of the tanks and ironclad vehicles at all. The second lieutenant commanding the heavy weapons pulled up the soldiers lying on the ground one by one and ordered them to launch a counterattack immediately, but before they could fire the heavy weapons they had just set up, they were blown up by shells falling from mid-air.

"Baga, when did the people of China have such a powerful heavy firepower, and when did they be able to hit the cannon so accurately?" Mitsui looked at the screaming soldiers on the other side of the river who were bombed by shells, and his heart was angry and annoyed at the same time. After Zhao Zhi and the others rushed to the stone beach, Chekov led his artillery to repeatedly measure the shelling of the river beach on both sides of the stone bridge. After the Japanese puppet army of the Maliang River arrived, the artillerymen under Chekov only had to fire in the order of the marked area numbers, and there was no need to repeatedly adjust the firing of the mortars like the Japanese army, so they naturally hit accurately and ruthlessly.

Chekov, who had enough shells in his hand for the first time, could just hit a few casually, the Japanese mortars had already been eliminated, and he naturally beat the reservoir dogs and shot out the reserved shells one by one as if he didn't want money. Under Chekov's countless bombardments, the Japanese puppet troops who had crossed the stone bridge had already been drowned in fireballs and shrapnel, and such a dense bombardment, even if they had already crawled on the ground with their heads in their arms, those Japanese puppet troops still couldn't escape this level of bombardment. The tanks in the bushes also kept spraying shells, like hitting a fixed target, constantly bombarding the two wings of the Japanese puppet army on the opposite bank, slowly squeezing them to the middle.
