Due to the rain in recent days, the two waterways that originally had the water level drop in autumn have not dropped yet, and have even approached the water level during the summer flood season.

In this way, not only can the small boats travel smoothly, but even the large boats can come in.

These two waterways not only failed to help the national army resist the Japanese attack, but instead helped them and shortened the distance they landed.

Such important information was actually ignored by the defenders!

After Tang Tianwen investigated and found this loophole, he was frightened to have a chill in his neck. If it weren't for the timely reminder of the peak.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Although he was only given five or six hours to deploy, it would be better than not. If he was ambushed by the Japanese army in his sleep, it would be really embarrassing.

The 569th Regiment was at least a powerful force in most China. Otherwise, how could he be arranged by the peak to guard such an important place in Yingtian?

It's past five o'clock.

Darkness before dawn.

Tang Tianwen sat in front of the simple sand table of the regiment headquarters. The telephone was ramen on a table in front of the ramen. The entire flagpole house looked quiet without any noise, as if he was sleeping heavily and very dead.

...

Duishanzui, Baiyuqi, and a small vanguard of Japanese troops had already touched the eyes and noses of the Jiang defense position preset by the National Army.

They held the rifle in their hands, curled up in the grass, holding their breath, and put away the bayonet, fearing that the bayonet would be discovered by the moonlight.

Many sentry positions have been removed.

The Chinese army on the shore seemed to have not noticed it at all, and they all slept like dead pigs.

They are waiting.

First, restore your physical strength, and second, wait for the best attack time and order. After all, this is China's land. Even in the dark, the Chinese army is more familiar with the environment than them.

Night battle, if it weren't for a sneak attack, it was not what the Japanese army was good at, and night battles would not receive air force support...

So at dawn, a sudden attack was launched, occupying the positions on the shore, clearing obstacles for subsequent troops to land. Then, as soon as the sky was dawn, the navy's naval guns and the air force rushed forward.

I heard that the Chinese people's logistics warehouses were hidden here, and if they could seize them, they would be rich.

"Preparation!" The captain gave the order, and obviously he had waited for the order to attack!

The Japanese soldiers who were lying in the mud just now quickly straightened up, put the bayonet on a rifle, lifted the sun flag, and loaded the bullets!

"attack!"

The team leader Qingtian drew out his command knife, waved his hand to the Jiangfang position of the Kuomintang army, and let out a beastly roar. A small team of Japanese troops behind him immediately formed a battle formation and began to attack.

"beat!"

Just as the Japanese army launched an attack, a beam of light suddenly swept towards these sneaky Japanese troops on the opposite side of the Kuomintang army's river defense position as if piercing through the sky.

Then they were greeted with bullets made of steel!

Dada dada...

The crossfire formed by two heavy machine guns was shot down, and the Japanese army, who rushed to the halfway, fell down like harvesting wheat.

Blood suddenly emerged from their bodies, dyeing the land on the shore red.

This is just a login site.

Soon, gunfire came from the entire Yingtian Zhenjiang defense position, and the battle almost reached a close connection from the beginning.

The Japanese army that had attacked the sneak attack was most likely not expecting that the defenders on the shore had discovered them in advance, and even after their sentinels were touched, they did not react immediately.

They actually watched them touching their eyes and nose before they started.

This beat up.

The Japanese army failed to attack, but instead suffered a lot of casualties. They retreated in a hurry, reorganized and started a second attack.

By this time the sky was already much brighter.

The naval guns on the Japanese naval warships on the lake not far away began to bombard important fortifications on the shore. The sound of guns rumbling, and the entire Yingtian Town trembled in the artillery fire.

The defenders suffered casualties.

The battle continues in asymmetric strength.

The Japanese army quickly organized a second strong attack. With the support of naval guns, they rushed up "screamed" and fought with the defenders.

The battle was very fierce. It seemed that the Japanese commander adjusted his tactics immediately and chose to attack.

The failure of the sneak attack made Kanan Uemura angry. If he could not quickly take down Yingtian Town and cut off the retreat of the Chinese army, and complete Okamura Yanji's strategic siege intention, his fate would be very miserable.

Moreover, he also wanted to use this battle to prove himself.

So, as soon as it was dawn, he called for air force support without hesitation.

...

No. 4, Rongyuan outside the south gate of Xiangcheng.

"The Qin team, the Japanese Shangmura Detachment failed to attack Yingtian. Shangmura Gannan issued a strong attack order and called for air force support." Huo Tian (Wu Yan) looked tired and knocked on Luo Yao's room and handed him a telegram, "This is a secret telegram sent by Shangmura Gannan to the Third Air Force Command that had just been deciphered."

"Old Wu, you haven't slept all night?"

"Well, I can't sleep. The war ahead is tight, so we can only do something within our ability." Huo Tian yawned, "You have to tell Chief Wu this and information immediately."

"I understand. You go back and rest first. Just leave the work to Zhou Lin (Wu Yuliang). Then you two will replace it. Otherwise, who will do the work of the research and interpretation team?" Luo Yao said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll go to bed." Huo Tian nodded. It was just the beginning, and there were still many things to do later.

Since the telephone confidentiality line has not been set up yet, Luo Yao could only continue to use secret telegrams to inform the relevant situation to the commander-in-chief of the theater in Yuelu Mountain.

If there is a dedicated telephone line, there is no need to be so troublesome. Just call it and report the information in a few words.

Unlike now, if you make a comeback and flip, the timeliness of intelligence may disappear like this. By the time the specific information reaches the ears of frontline officers and soldiers, it may be too late.

This problem must be solved, but it is impossible to be urgent. After all, it is not up to him to set up a confidentiality line.

...

It was finally dawning, and eight bombers and fighter formations of smearing the Japanese Army flag appeared above Yingtian Town, and the most tragic battle occurred.

Although the defenders learned in advance that the Japanese army dispatched planes to bomb the camp fields, although it was too late, they were better than not knowing anything and not preparing for anything.

At least you can hide in the air defense bunker in advance.

With the bombing of the Japanese army, the Japanese army that were preparing to land launched another strong attack. This was the third time. The Japanese army concentrated their teams of more than 500 people from two points to launch a fierce attack.

The 569th Regiment fought very bravely and achieved considerable results at one time, but the troops and weapons of both sides were asymmetry.

The Japanese army's two strong attacks, coupled with the bombardment of naval guns and the bombardment of aircraft, casualties rose sharply. From the start of the war to this point, it took only more than two hours, and more than one-third of the casualties were killed or injured.

Up the peak, he asked him to stick to it for three days, but now, let alone three days, it will probably be difficult for half a day. The Japanese army's firepower is too strong, and they lack heavy weapons and cannot compete with them at all.

Even if you fight with your life, you won’t be able to fight for long.

Lost, lost...

One village after another, one by one, one by one, the news came that Tang Tianwen had fallen from heaven to hell in the past few hours.

Fortunately, he is a soldier and knows what the responsibilities of a soldier are. Although he keeps asking for help from the superiors, he is still there and he does not expect to retreat or escape.

The importance of the field is self-evident. He knew very well that if he lost the field, he would not want the head around his neck.

Instead of doing this, it is better to fight to the death and die on the battlefield, and to gain the reputation of a martyr who died heroically.

He also sent the regiment headquarters guard company to act as a firefighter, and there was only a guard squad and staff technicians around him. He included the groom and the knights, and the total number was less than thirty people.

"Round seat, group seat, 570th group is coming..."

Finally I heard good news. The 570th Regiment is another regiment of the 283rd Brigade, and there are more than a thousand people. Although there are not many heavy weapons, they are finally replenishing their troops.

"Building, why are you here? Is this too dangerous?" In addition to the 570th Regiment, Tang Tianwen also saw the brigade commander Feng Shiying and came to Yingtian Town in person.

"Dangerous. If Yingtian Town is lost, that's dangerous!" Feng Shiying walked into Tang Tianwen's regiment headquarters and asked directly, "What's the situation now? The military headquarters has equipped us with a machine gun company. I think the Japanese army shouldn't know about this news yet. Hurry up and give them a little Japanese. Do you think it's better to start with the position?"

"Building, our river defense positions outside Yingtian Town are basically lost. Except for several core positions and Yingtian Street and other places, they are still in our hands. The Japanese army has too strong firepower. They have planes in the sky, artillery on the water, and they also have a boat and bridge unit..."

"Boat Bridge Force? Where is it?" Feng Shiying's eyes lit up when he heard this. The river network in northern Hunan was densely populated, and the importance of a boat bridge force was self-evident.

If the Japanese craft bridge troops can be destroyed in one fell swoop, it will inevitably be able to slow down the opponent's offensive efficiency. Even if the camp field is finally lost, the Japanese army's advancement speed will slow down a lot without the craft bridge troops.

"Here, the brigade and hukou bridge troops are the key protection of the Japanese army. If we want to get close, it will be difficult. However, there is a road here that allows us to move to this position, but once we launch an attack, the position will be completely exposed..."

"What is the size of the Japanese craft bridge unit?" Feng Shiying asked. He was calculating in his heart whether it was worth it to use a machine cannon company to exchange for such a craft bridge unit.

"It is estimated that the scale of no less than three hundred people."

"Damn." Feng Shiying clenched his fist and said heavily. The 300-man boat and bridge troops were at least one brigade-level unit or even division.

Killing the Zhouqiao troops will greatly delay the Japanese attack and marching rate, and will also severely damage the Japanese morale, killing two birds with one stone.
