Kiyoji Miyagawa felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

However, the progress of the 1st Guards United did not stop.

In a blink of an eye, the fishing boats that transported the 3rd infantry brigade to the 1st Guards Regiment landed one after another. The next moment, the Japanese soldiers who had been waiting for a long time jumped into the knee-deep river with bayonets, and then stepped on the mud to charge towards the shore.

This distance is also the most dangerous distance for the Japanese army, and it is easily hunted by machine gun fire.

So at this time, the naval gunboats still stayed on the river were fully fired, and fired suppression was carried out on the defensive positions of the National Army on the West Bank to cover the infantry as much as possible.

In the past four days, even if there were gunboats to cover it, the national army on the shore would have full firepower and poured dense bullets onto the Japanese army that were robbing the beach. But today, the shore was silent.

In less than a moment, the fastest Japanese soldiers were approaching the shore.

If this were the previous few days, the Kuomintang army should have directly counterattacked.

But today, the national military positions on the shore are still silent.

Kiyori Miyagawa stepped onto the shore and looked back. He saw that more and more Japanese soldiers were following him. At this time, a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind. He knew what the problem was!

"Stop everything!" Miyagawa Kiyoji raised his hand and stopped the infantry from following up, shouting, "Battle, use the bayonet to carry out mine-sweeping operations quickly! Hurry up!"

The 1st Guards Division did not participate in the Battle of Salwin River, but they had a deep impression of that battle.

During the Battle of Salwin River, the Chinese army first buried a large number of landmines on the river beach on the west bank of the Salwin River, and then arranged a large number of fire-induced objects in the motor team, which made the Japanese army suffer.

But Kiyoji Miyagawa doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes of the 18th Division!

At the command of Kiyomiya Miyagawa, a strange scene immediately took place.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground at the same time, then pulled out their bayonets and began to stab them randomly on the river beach. This is the bayonet and thunder detection.

There will be no abnormal noise when the bayonet stabs the soil.

But if the iron tool is poked, there will be a knocking sound.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, one by one with their butts stuck out and they used bayonets to detect thunder.

Kiyoji Miyagawa did not dare to stand anymore. Standing alone at this time, he was the most ideal live target for the snipers of the National Army.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers held bayonets and stabbed the river beach randomly while sticking their butts slowly crawling forward.

About half an hour later, the Japanese soldiers had advanced five hundred meters and entered the positions of the national army, but no landmine was found.

"Did I guess wrong?"

Miyagawa Kiyoji couldn't help but doubt his judgment.

At this time, the communication soldier hurried over with the radio on his back.

The communications soldier said: "The corps leader, the division headquarters urgently called and asked what happened?"

Kiyoji Miyagawa looked around and confirmed that there was no Chinese soldier on the position. He ordered the communications soldier: "Reply to the division headquarters, and said that the 1st Guards Regiment successfully occupied the position of the Chinese army, but there was no Chinese army on the position. I was worried that the Chinese army would have any conspiracies and tricks, so I asked the division headquarters to decide whether to pursue it?"

"Hayi." The communication soldier paused his head.

...

After receiving the telegram from Miyagawa Kiyoji, Sasaki Kiyoji felt confused.

"There is no Chinese soldier on the position?" Sasaki Kiyoji said, "What's going on?"

Chief of Staff Seiichi Yamada guessed: "Maybe the morale of the Chinese army collapsed and fled without fighting?"

"No, this is impossible." Kiyoji Sasaki waved his hand and said, "Although we have a short battle with the Chinese army on the other side, through the battles these days, we can see that this is a respectable army with extremely tough style and strong will. Their morale cannot collapse at this time."

"In this case, it would be very puzzling for the Chinese army to suddenly give up its position."

Kiyoji Sasaki was also puzzled and said, "Just order the 1st Guards Regiment to defend the river beach position. Don't start a rash pursuit, so as not to get caught in the ambush of the Chinese army!"

After pausing for a moment, Kiyoji Sasaki continued: "Order the main force of the 1st Guards Regiment, the Independent War Artillery Brigade and the Heavy Machine Gun Brigade to cross the river. The other regiments are also ready to follow the division headquarters tomorrow to cross the river. In addition, report today's battle situation to the headquarters truthfully. There must be no concealment."

"Hayi." Yamada Seiichi bowed his head heavily.

...

It was not only Sasaki Kiyoji who was confused, but Ishihara Kanir was also puzzled.

"Analysis of the battle situation in the previous four days, the Chinese army should not have reached the end of the road." Ishihara said with a frown, "But why did they give up suddenly?"

Chief of Staff Gu Di Na Huaxiong said: "There must be some conspiracy in the middle."

"There is a conspiracy," Ishihara said, "But the question is, what conspiracy is?"

"I can't guess this." Gu Di said with a blushing face, "Zhong Yi has always been cunning, and it is difficult for others to guess his thoughts."

Ishihara Kaner shook his head and said, "No matter how cunning Zhong Yi is, he cannot transcend the common sense theory of military affairs."

After a pause, Ishihara Kan said again: "Kun Gu Di, what would you do if you were Zhong Yi?"

"What if I were Zhong Yi?" Gu Di's Hua Xiong frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Half-crossing?"

"Half-crossing?" Ishihara Kan'er suddenly moved his heart slightly when he heard this. He felt like he had grasped something, but after thinking about it carefully, he still couldn't grasp the key points and couldn't understand the key points.

Gu Dina Huaxiong continued, "Yes, attack halfway."

"According to the convention, after seizing the shore defense position, the 1st Guard Division will cross the river in an orderly manner, but due to the limited number of transport ships, at most one infantry or chariot corps can be ferried over a day. At this time, the Chinese army is given the opportunity to attack. The Chinese army only needs to gather enough troops to annihilate the Imperial Army on the West Bank at night!"

"But the question is, does the Chinese army have enough troops?" Ishihara frowned, "Even if you only go to one regiment, with the strong fortifications, the Chinese army will send out a large army of tens of thousands of people to siege, and you will not be able to succeed in one night. However, by dawn the next day, the Chinese army will have no chance!"

"After all, the Chinese army lacks heavy weapons to attack!"

"Uh, this..." Gu Di's Huaxiong was speechless.

Yes, it seems impossible for the Chinese army to eat the Japanese army that crossed the river.

So, what would Zhong Yi’s plan be? Why did he do this?
