    ?

    After six days of silence, the Japanese army finally started to move.  I have been paying attention to the whereabouts of the Japanese army, and Zhan Chabin keeps sending back news that the Japanese Yamaguchi and Ishihara units marched from Wuxi to Yixing, and more than half of the units were drawn from the Wuxi Shangshan United to start sweeping Yangshan and others.  Several villages and towns solve the worries of the future.

    On the eastern front, the Fukui United and Yagi United teams from Suzhou also went to Xukou Town, and the cloud of the war began to press down on Xishan and Yixing.

    ? According to the original plan, the troops belonging to the secret service battalion got up early and did not contact the Japanese army. Since the Japanese army, Li Biao's troops have voluntarily abandoned Yangshan and other towns and retreated directly to Huli Town.

    As for Cui Haiyang in Xukou Town, he even ordered the security corps to retreat without firing a single shot, leaving Xukou Town and Linhu Town to the Japanese army.

    On January 9, the Secret Service Battalion sent a telegram to the third war zone, saying that the Japanese army was invading on a large scale, and the Secret Service Battalion was overwhelmed and asked for support.

    But the third war zone quickly replied with a message: the third war zone command informed that there are heavy troops on the border every day, and wars may break out at any time.  The situation has changed, and the theater command will never abandon its friendly forces, so please understand.

    Holding this telegram, Liu Yang just chuckled and threw it aside, and then announced the start of the Xishan Yixing Defense War, and all the ministries were immediately in position, ready to compete with the Japanese army.

    The Security Corps and Li Biao's troops withdrew into Taihu Lake, and disappeared immediately. More than 1,000 officers and soldiers from the Independent Battalion and the First Battalion, relying on the strong fortress of Xishan, did not make a gesture of resistance to the death. The Independent Battalion was ordered to ambush the Japanese army in the lake.

    The reason why I ambushing the Japanese army in the lake is because in Taihu Lake, once the Japanese army walked through the ice and the two sides became entangled, no one dared to fire, otherwise even my own army would be sent into Taihu Lake to feed the fish.

    The leading soldiers of the Japanese army discovered that the security corps had withdrawn from the ice to Xishan Island. To be sure, the leading soldiers of the Japanese army made a special test. It turned out that the ice layer was as thick as two palms, which was enough for the army to pass through. Soon the news was reported.  Back to the Eastern Front Command.

    In the headquarters, instead of being excited, Fukui Saburo and Yagi Yoshino stared at the battle map with frowns. Originally, there was only one pontoon bridge on Xishan Island.  The price, after all, the firepower of the spy battalion is too strong.

    But not all places on Taihu Lake are frozen. The ice near the pontoon bridge is the masterpiece of Liu Yang on Xishan Island. As an old opponent, Sanlang Fukui attaches great importance to Liu Yang.  A difficult opponent, how could such a person make a mistake and let his subordinates build such an ice layer that can pass through the army?  It's no wonder it's not a conspiracy.

    For such an ice layer, in Fukui Saburo and Yagi Yoshino's view, as long as a burst of artillery fire, the army on the ice layer can feed the fish, but the people in the secret service battalion did use the ice layer to build a fortress on the ice layer, and it is quite  It is sturdy, and the inside is protected by iron plates, even a heavy machine gun can't do anything about it.

    "Perhaps Liu Yang just wanted us to think this way¡ª" Yoshino Yagi sighed and frowned, "In fact, there are many advantages on the ice, for example, there is no hiding place on the ice, and our imperial soldiers attack  Time is equivalent to being completely exposed to the enemy's attack¡ª"

    As soon as he opened his mind, Yagi Yoshino thought more: "Besides, the ice layer is not conducive to activities. Soldiers can only walk on it carefully. It is a test for soldiers. If the spy battalion is equipped with heavy firepower, a  The strength of the battalion may even be able to stop the attack of a wing, after all, fighting on the ice means that both sides have given up artillery fire."

    "It makes sense to say that¡ª" Fukui Saburo always felt that it was not that simple, but in fact Yagi Yoshino was right, and Liu Yang really had this kind of consideration.

    If the Japanese army put troops on the ice at one time instead of attacking on a large scale, then there would be no need to blow up the ice, no artillery fire, no hiding places, and relying on the strong fortress, the Japanese army could be wiped out continuously, and the Japanese army could be wiped out on the ice.  layer.

    Regardless of whether the Japanese army invested in one-off or in batches, they would all be fooled by Liu Yang. Just imagine, the Japanese army without artillery support wanted to attack the fortress on slippery ice, and it would be fatal to bear bullets.  You must be careful, otherwise you will stumble, but the independent battalion is waiting for work, and the Japanese army is tantamount to dying.

    But both Fukui Saburo and Yagi Yoshino are experienced soldiers, and they are not helpless in fighting on the ice. Liu Yang can use iron plates to block bullets, so they can't. They can also build some simple fortifications.  Then put it on the trolley and slowly approach it. Once the situation permits, you can send a large force to press it.?After some discussion, the Japanese army launched an attack as soon as it launched, and dispatched a brigade of Japanese troops to march towards Treasure Island along the river.

    The Japanese army's tactics were very conservative, but there would be no major problems. The wheelbarrows recruited from nearby villages could only use sandbags as cover because they did not have enough iron plates, and then moved forward on the ice.

    Even though they were scattered on both sides of the pontoon bridge, the strength of a brigade on the ice surface of more than 200 meters still seemed a little crowded. As expected, even if they put on cloth-soled shoes, they still walked on the ice.  Without control, it is easy to fall over.

    ?From a distance, the entire Japanese army walked cautiously like snails. Even so, some Japanese soldiers fell on the ice from time to time, and if one fell, it would be a disaster if they were not careful.

    Saburo Fukui watched through the binoculars and saw the team walking staggeringly. He suddenly had a realization in his heart. Perhaps there was no need for too many tricks. This kind of environment was enough to make the imperial soldiers helpless. Such an attack, even if  It is possible to get close to those fortresses, but unable to charge.

    "Yuxi, two tanks are on the pontoon bridge, following the soldiers of a squadron." After hesitating for a while, Saburo Fukui waved his hand.  It is difficult to rush up.

    The two tanks carefully boarded the pontoon bridge, pressing down on the float valves to make the draft very deep, and the Japanese soldiers behind them were all in fear. At this time, just a grenade could make them lose ground.

    Sure enough, before walking too far, I heard a bang, a bang on the pontoon bridge, the tank was not damaged, but the rope was broken, and several float valves carrying the tank were completely separated and drifted away slowly.  After getting off the pontoon bridge, the Japanese soldiers behind watched helplessly, but there was nothing they could do.

    "Baga¡ª¡ª" Saburo Fukui cursed, even though he had expected it, he was still very angry.

    This pontoon bridge is a trap at all. On the ice where there is no doubt, even if engineers are sent to clear mines, they are easily attacked by the Chinese army. Any engineer who is not escorted by a large army is a block in the eyes of the Chinese  Fat.

    As long as the big troops don't go down, dozens of Chinese soldiers will be active on the ice, scattered so badly that they won't enter the Japanese shooting range at all, just waiting for the Japanese soldiers to throw themselves into the trap, shoot and run away, following a large group  If the soldiers go down, the engineers can keep up.

    I don't know how long it took, but the Japanese army has become smaller on the ice and is slowly approaching Treasure Island. I believe that they will come into contact with the Chinese army soon.

    Just at this moment, the sound of gunboats suddenly came from Taihu Lake. Several gunboats rushed over from the depths of Taihu Lake, breaking through the thin ice layer. Although the speed was very slow, the Japanese army was a little flustered.

    This is on ice, not on land. If you panic a little bit, you will stumble. It is difficult to form a defensive formation. It is even more difficult to turn around for those simple fortifications that are pushed forward. Seeing that the gunboat is approaching, these modified  The gunboat, with iron plates installed on both sides, mounted several machine guns, even heavy machine guns, fired a burst of fire at the Japanese army, and stopped at a distance.

    Seeing all this through the telescope, Saburo Fukui's heart sank. They seemed to have forgotten the Chinese navy.  The eight major covers have lost their effect. Even if they can barely hit the gunboat, the bullets will be blocked by the iron plate, which will not cause effective damage.

    "Immediately send mortar crews for reinforcements." Cannons dare not go down, but mortars can, except that they can't fire on the ice, they can only walk on the pontoon bridge.

    A squadron of artillerymen quickly carried their mortars towards the battlefield and ran from the pontoon bridge. Only when they rushed over could the brigade pose a threat to the gunboats, otherwise they would only be beaten.

    But seeing that it was about to enter the battlefield, a problem appeared. Walking on the pontoon bridge, suddenly the ropes on both sides made a sound and broke. It turned out that someone had tampered with the ropes and approached the battlefield.  At that time, the rope was cut with a knife. It doesn¡¯t matter if the weight is light, but when carrying the mortar, the weight is heavy, and the rope is broken, and this section of the pontoon bridge successfully got rid of the connection.

    The artillery on the pontoon bridge lost ground and could only enter the ice, but it was difficult to walk on the ice. Looking at the friendly army who was beaten badly, they could only move slowly step by step.

    Rijin was beaten terribly. Because there was no protection, the machine guns of the National Army came over. They had no other choice but to lie down. The more anxious they were, the more problems would arise.  , Sixty or seventy imperial soldiers died tragically on the ice, but they didn't even hurt the national army.

    The gunboat stopped very tricky. At a distance of 500 meters, the rifle was out of effective range, but the machine gun had enough range. The national army hid behind the iron plate. Even if the Japanese army fired back with machine guns, they could not hurt them.  But someone is always exposed at gunpoint.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)The gunboat stopped very tricky.
