"Mr. Lu, we have destroyed the railway bridge on the Zhaosutai River. If the Japanese army wants to come over, at least they have to hold a floating bridge!"

"Well, the Japanese army has engineers who are good at building bridges. A floating bridge can be completed in a few hours. This will not defeat them!" Lu Shan said.

"I wonder if they will camp on the east bank of Zhaosutai River, and then build a bridge overnight, so that they can continue to move forward as soon as the sky is dawn?" Zhang Yi shouted.

"Where do you think the Japanese army would choose to build a pontoon bridge?"

"Of course, the place with the shortest straight distance between the two sides of the straits. Here, Qujiadian, walks up the railway bridge, about three miles away. One place, the locals are called Sanleizi. When the water news is in summer, the water flow is particularly turbulent, but in the dry season of autumn and winter, the water level here is low, the water flow is flat, and the temperature is very low at the moment. Zhaosutai River has frozen, and there is no problem with humans and animals. Heavy equipment may still be difficult. According to our calculations, the thickness of the ice layer is already fifty centimeters, and the carrying capacity is enough to make the truck with a load of two tons slow down!"

"Is it possible to explode the ice cubes on the river surface to make it floating ice and stop the Japanese army from ice surface?"

"No, even if we explode, it will freeze the next day, but this will increase the risk of tongguo. After all, there were cracks in the ice layer, which could easily break if it could not withstand the pressure!" Zhang Yihu explained.

"So, is this useless?"

"It's not useless, it's just a little more difficult for the Japanese army to cross the river!" Zhang Yihu explained.

"If there is ice, it will be no difficulty for the Japanese army to build a floating bridge. Just ensure that they can toggoo their tanks!" Lu Shan said.

"The Japanese tanks are all light tanks. But for us, this is amazing. Mr. Lu has given us many ways to deal with this kind of tank before, and this time he finally has the opportunity to practice it well!"

"Well, it is best to capture one or two tanks of the Japanese army. They can be handed over to the Weapon Research Institute for research and design and manufacture our own tanks!" Lu Shan said.

The Japanese army did not attach importance to tanks. It took a few years before the Japanese Army established its own tank troops. At that time, there were only a small number of French-made Renault tanks. Later, the Japanese army developed its own tanks.

However, due to the materials, the performance of the Japanese tanks is much worse than that of Western countries. Moreover, because the Japanese army itself does not attach much importance to the development of tanks, the Japanese tanks gained the reputation of "bean chariot" in World War II, which means a chariot made of tofu!

The Japanese tanks have very weak protection, with armor only a dozen millimeters thick. They are still OK to deal with light firearms such as rifles and have almost no protection against ammunition such as armor-piercing ammunition!

The most incredible thing is that the Japanese army uses tanks as infantry combat, which is used as an auxiliary force to help break through, rather than as a separate attack force in combat!

During World War II, the number of Japanese tanks was very considerable, but they were basically distributed and used, and a division was divided into more than twenty vehicles.

There are also concentrated use cases, but the poor performance of Japanese tanks is really terrible.

Even so, Japan can still build its own tanks, while China currently cannot even make artillery more than 100 mm independently!

No matter how many problems a Japanese tank has, they are also made. Let’s not talk about imitation, but it is always OK to learn from it. If you understand the Japanese technology thoroughly, it will be better to lay a solid foundation for yourself, right?

There are two powerful tools to deal with Japanese tanks, burning gasoline bottles and cluster bombs!

These are two economical and useful weapons designed for the weak Japanese armor, and they are very easy to manufacture and can greatly reduce casualties!

In order to attack Zhengjiatun, the Japanese army not only equipped the Third Brigade with a tank squadron, but also equipped a field artillery gang, two mountain artillery brigades, as well as a flying Kanto Army to fly against a bomber brigade, a fighter brigade and two reconnaissance aircraft!

The reason why the Third Brigade did not send troops immediately was to wait for these troops to join him!

In addition to the lack of surface ship cooperation, such a combination is a luxurious configuration. In addition to the absence of heavy artillery dispatch, all the weapons that can be taken out in the Kwantung Army combat sequence!

The commander attacking Zhengjiatun was the Major General of the Third Brigade, Hagabe, the commander of the 3rd Brigade, and Colonel Fu Hengshanyong, the Kwantung Army Command, was temporarily assigned to the Third Brigade as the Chief of Staff!

In fact, this attack was Yokoyama personally commanded.

Yokoyama and Ishihara Kanr Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the 21st class, and the 21st class, the 3-feathered bird of the 21st class, and the 27th class of the saber group of the 27th class of the saber group of the 27th class of the saber group of the 21st class of Iimura.

Yokoyama is stoic, scheming, cunning and cruel, and is a bad opponent!

At the same time, he is also a master who can make plans and then move. Among the senior officers of the Kwantung Army, he is a very silent person, but no one can deny that this guy has strong abilities.

Before becoming the chief of staff of the Third Brigade, he personally visited Ishihara Kanir, a high-ranking consul who was not in the organization!

Of course, Yokoyama Yuki didn't believe that Ishihara Kan'er was a traitor or a spy, but with his current identity and ability, it was difficult to change Ishihara Kan'er's current situation.

Ishihara Kanir was not surprised at Yokoyama's visit. At least they still had a friendship with classmates. Although it was a competitive relationship at that time, time had changed, and the little grudges of that year were no longer a problem.

"Ishihara, I know that in the Kanto Army, you have the deepest research on the East Confrontation, and you have confronted them head-on, so I want to listen to your suggestions before taking office!" Yokoyama Yu, "Ishihara, please give me advice!"

"Yoshiyama, I dare not take the advice. Let's discuss it with each other, it's OK!" Ishihara smiled.

"Thank you so much!"

"Zhengjiatun has been a must-fight for military strategists since ancient times. If the Chinese army occupy it, they will never give up easily. Moreover, I feel that the Chinese army is playing a big game. Unfortunately, some of us are still staring at the little profit in front of us!" Ishihara smiled.

"Ishihara, are you saying this again..."

"Hehe, Yokoyama-kun. I am a jobless vagrant. I am just joking and joking!" Ishihara said hurriedly.

"Ishihara-kun means, let me be careful not to fall into the trap of the Chinese people?" Yokoyama Yuki said with a slightly frown.

"You can say that, if you use a set of things against the Northeast Army to deal with the Chinese army in the east, you will definitely lose a lot!"

"Ishihara kun is so sure?"

"If Yokoyama-kun doesn't believe it, can you give it a try?" Ishihara smiled.

"Did you send a reconnaissance cavalry before attacking?" Ishihara smiled.

"Of course, before every battle, don't you send scouts? What's so strange about this?" Yokoyama said.

"It is necessary to send scouts, but you have sent too many people, and you are still fully armed cavalry!" Ishihara said, "The goal is so obvious, doesn't it mean to tell the opponent, am I here?"

"this?"

"What will the Chinese army react when they discover your cavalry? Have you ever thought about it?" Ishihara asked.

"Of course, we should report to the higher authorities immediately and wait for the order!" Yokoyama said.

"This is the Northeast Army's approach. But the Chinese army we face is different. They will report it as soon as possible. At the same time, they will also make plans to eat this cavalry!" Ishihara said, "They are an offensive army, the same as us, so they will not fight passive defensive wars. Yokoyama must remember that our enemies will not stay there waiting for you to come to the door!"

"You mean, they will take the initiative to fight?"

"Yes, as long as you reveal a little flaw, they can grab it keenly and give you a fatal blow!" Ishihara smiled, "You must regard them as opponents of the same strength, otherwise you will have little hope of victory!"

"Why don't you say these words to Your Excellency the Chief of Staff?"

"I said it, they wouldn't believe it either. Although they admitted that they failed, they did not face our opponents in their hearts, so it was useless to say it!" Ishihara smiled.

"Kun Ishihara, are you too pessimistic? Even if I regard them as equal opponents, the gap in industrial strength cannot be compensated in a short period of time!" Yokoyama said.

"The problem is that we are in Manchuria now, not in Japan!" Ishihara said, "If the Japanese Empire wants to become the number one in Asia, if we continue to fight like this, it will be the loss of Japan's own national strength!"

"China is too big. If it leaves the world, it can be self-sufficient, but Japan has no land and resources. Maybe it will become a second-class or third-class country. This is absolutely not allowed!"

"Some people are too eager for quick success and instant benefits. For personal honor, they will drag Japan's future into ulterior motives. This is a crime!"

"Ishihara, why don't we discuss political topics? I am a soldier, do my own things!" Yokoyama said.

"Yokanyama, if you believe me and reserve a unit, it will be of great use at critical moments!" Ishihara smiled.

"Thank you, I will!" Yokoyama Yuk bent down and bowed.

"Hongyama, I wish you a victory!" Ishihara smiled slightly and stood up to see him off.

"Thank you, please stay!"

Hengshan Yong left, flew to Siping overnight, landed at Siping Military Airport, and then got on a car and chased the Third Brigade!

"Send it to the commander of the Hasegawa Brigade and ask him to withdraw the Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron!"

"yes!"

Qujiadian, the command center of the third Japanese regiment.

Major General Hague Head, Major General Haguebeto, was carefully checking the map under the light when suddenly a rapid knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!"

"Report to the commander of the brigade, the chief of staff has set out from Siping. This is his telegram to you!" The adjutant presented the message.

"Oh, Yokoyama has already set out, Yaoxi, what did he say?"

"The Chief of Staff said we should withdraw the reconnaissance squadron immediately, saying that the Chinese people will launch the attack first!"

"Will the Chinese attack be launched first?" Hasebe Teru looked up in surprise.

"Yes, that's what the Chief of Staff said in the telegram!"

"He is too cautious. The Chinese people know that our army is approaching. At this time, we should honestly repair their fortifications and take the initiative to attack. I am a cavalry squadron, not an infantryman. As long as they want to run, what will the Chinese people chase after them?" Hasegawa Teru said with a smile.

"Hayi!"

"Tele to Yokoyama Lord to reassure him that the reconnaissance cavalry squadron is less than 60 miles away from our large unit, and is also a cavalry. Even if it is attacked by the Chinese people, they can be safe and sound at their speed!" Hasegawa said.

"Hayi!"

"Go, when the Chief of Staff arrives, call me, don't disturb me if there is nothing particularly important!" Hasegawara twisted his sour neck and said.

Sanjiangkou is the first line of defense for Zhengjiatun’s defense and the location of Zhengjiatun’s first water and land wharf. Although the prosperous center has moved westward, it is still a prosperous place. The town is densely populated and can be called the north and south of the Yangtze River!

Wang Rong handed over the figures from the first front to the 1st Regiment of the 183rd Division, which is the original 9th ​​Brigade 1st Regiment.

Later, Wang Rong accompanied Lu Shan, monks, Wu Zi and others to Sanjiangkou, mainly for the first battle tonight!

Taking the initiative, Dong Kang cannot imitate the young wife of the Northeast Army and fight back passively. Fighting this first battle will also encourage the morale and morale of the army.

"Captain 1, introduce the enemy situation!" Wang Rong ordered the command center of the 1st regiment.

"Yes, the commander!"

"The Third Japanese Brigade entered Qujiadian before dusk. The brigade command was located in the Laojie Town Office of Qujiadian. After the Japanese army entered Qujiadian, the engineers began to build a pontoon bridge in this wèizhi. According to the report of our investigators who were mixed in Qujiadian, the total Japanese army must have seven or eight thousand, fifty or sixty cars alone, and more than twenty people dragging cannons, filling the entire Qujiadian!" A regiment commander reported.

"It seems that the Japanese army has taken out a lot of money to deal with us this time!" Lu Shan nodded, "Captain 1, please continue!"

"According to our judgment, as long as the pontoon bridge is repaired, they will cross the river and expect to join us tomorrow!" said the leader of the regiment.

"How do you plan to fight this first battle with the Japanese army?" Lu Shan asked.

"The Japanese army has tanks and cars, and these equipment must go on the main road, so we set up a blocking position in the Gaojiawozhuang area. The terrain is relatively uneven and the rivers are crisscrossing. Although it is now the freezing period, it is okay to pass by people, but tanks are not good. Use the river net here to hold back the Japanese army's attack!" A regiment commander pointed to the road in a place on the map.

"Is the Gaojiabao a must-pass way to attack the Japanese army in Sanjiangkou?" Lu Shan asked.

"Yes, if this is not a necessary path, we will not be able to set up defense again!" said the leader of the regiment.

"Well, this is your first line of defense?"

"Yes, the main purpose of the first line of defense is to delay the Japanese attack and turn their strengths into weaknesses, trap their cannons and tanks here and lay a good foundation for the battle behind!" The first regiment commander explained.
Chapter completed!
