There is only one highway from Yuncheng to Juancheng. The road conditions are not very good, and it is bumpy. It is easier to walk during the day, but it is not easy to walk at night.

Cheng Gang, the leader of the 371st Regiment, sat in the passenger seat of a truck, shaking all the way, drowsy, and his bones were almost disintegrating.

If he hadn't had a little bit of a minor injury on his arm while fighting Juye, he would have rather ride a horse than ride a car.

Crunch!

The truck in front suddenly stopped, and the truck driver behind hurriedly stepped on the brakes!

The team that was originally advancing suddenly stopped, and some soldiers were caught off guard and walked forward with inertia. There were many people who fell to the ground.

"The explosion sounds like the direction of Juancheng!"

Cheng Gang was about to scold the driver for brakes and didn't remind him. When he heard the report of Jiang Hai, the consultant of the regiment who came in front of him, he also recalled that he had heard an explosion just now, and he thought he was dreaming!

Could it be that it is not a dream?

Cheng Gang carefully recalled the explosion just now in his mind, because just now, his memory had not completely disappeared, so he closed his eyes and recalled it.

He heard that this was the explosion of a Japanese melon grenade, which was somewhat different from the explosion of a wooden grenade used. This was learned from years of combat experience.

"Order the troops, march quickly!"

"yes!"

Something must have happened, Cheng Gang had a strong premonition.

After the order was issued, all the officers and soldiers of the 371st Regiment threw away their backpacks and handed them to the backpackers to collect them. They only brought weapons, ammunition and some dry food, and began to march in a hurry!

The speed of troops' advancement has increased by nearly doubled at once.

"Guardian, bring my horse over!" Cheng Gang didn't want to sit in the car and bumped. He wanted to ride a horse so that he could grasp the situation of the troops at any time.

"Team, your injury"

"What a long talk, I can ride a horse with one hand. I underestimate me too much." Cheng Gang scolded, and the guard had no choice but to lead his war horse over and support him on the back.

On the other side of the ferry.

"What's going on? How could there be an explosion? The operation was exposed?" Seeing a flash of fire on the Yellow River embankment on the other side of the river, and then an explosion came. The generals and assistants of Ken Doihara, the second and second divisions of Ken Doihara, showed a hint of surprise.

"Report to the division commander, Akiyama team was discovered by the Chinese!"

"Baga, didn't you tell them to be careful?" Colonel Yuanshan said angrily.

"Hayi!"

"Toyama, it's useless to blame now. Let's prepare to force the crusade!" Kenji Doihara coldly ordered. In fact, as long as the person has already arrived, it will be sooner or later.

There is only one company squadron on the other side of Dongkou Town, and its combat effectiveness is not strong, and the Qiushan team can completely defeat it.

"Report to the division commander, and the other teams have successfully arrived on the other side and are occupying the landing ground!"

"Yaxi!" Kenji Doihara showed a smile. It seemed that the Chinese were not very vigilant, and only a few forks appeared at the ferry entrance of Dongkou Town.

"Captain of the division, can we organize a landing? There is a garrison of a Chinese regiment in Juancheng, and the combat effectiveness of the 22nd Division of the Third Army is still not weak."

"Hmph, can the Chinese fighter's combat effectiveness be compared with that of the Imperial Japanese Army?" Takashi Sakai snorted arrogantly.

"Since it has been exposed, then organize a landing immediately and occupy the Dongkou, Wuji and the old city on the other side. After a solid front is established, occupy Juancheng!" Kenji Doihara ordered.

"Hayi!"

In order to cross the river this time, the Japanese army had already secretly collected more than 100 ships, hid in a nearby pier, and sent people to block it and cover up the news.

A large group of Japanese troops, carrying a small number of heavy weapons, began to cross the river!

The explosion woke up the garrison in Dongkou Town, and the sound of gongs warning sounded.

The Japanese are coming!

The sleeping town immediately became turbulent.

It was only a few hundred meters from the ferry crossing to the town. When I ran, I arrived in a few minutes. The Japanese Akiyama team had already figured out the situation of the garrison in the town.

If it weren't for the damage of a few people on the river bank, they would have quietly occupied Dongkou Town.

"Company Commander, it's a Japanese devil"

"What a panic, beat me!"

No one expected that the Japanese had already rushed into the town and touched the base of their company, blocking them at the gate.

The gunshot suddenly rang!

The Juancheng defenders heard it, and the 371st Regiment of the 37th Brigade of the New 37th Brigade of the Honorary First Division, who was marching towards Juancheng, also heard it.

The sound of the three-eight big cover!

Only Japanese people have this gun, and it must be the Japanese who have crossed the river!

Leng Feng urgently dispatched the New 37th Brigade to Juancheng with the purpose of blocking the Japanese army's smuggling through the Yellow River. Now it seems that the Japanese army has taken action earlier.

"Quick, hurry, everyone speed up, the Japanese may have crossed the river."

"Group, should I report to the Tourism Department immediately?"

"Okay, I agree, but this can only be our inference. The specific situation is still unclear. Is there our garrison in Juancheng?" Cheng Gang asked.

"There is a regiment, 22nd Division, and the specific number is not clear."

"Let the brigade headquarters contact the 22nd Division immediately. They are closer than us. We must reach the location of the gunfire as quickly as possible!"

"yes!"

On the road from Yuncheng to Juancheng, a huge team was moving westward at full speed.

"Xie Deputy Brigade Station, the 371st Regiment is urgently powered!"

Xie Chengrui, who was sitting on the jeep, signaled to stop on the roadside and got out of the car. The guard next to him quickly sent a flashlight. After reading the message, Xie Chengrui's face changed slightly.

"Report this news to the division headquarters immediately and bring me the map!"

"yes!"

The map spreads out on the hood.

"Old Han, come and see, what Cheng Gang said in the telegram, the gunshots came from the west of Juancheng. At this location, Dongkou, I judged that if it was really a Japanese army smuggling, we would have caught up." Xie Chengrui said, "Cheng Gang and the others are marching urgently towards Juancheng. The situation is still unclear. I don't know whether the Juancheng defenders can stick to it. We must make good strategies for dealing with it!"

"Yeah, agree!"

"The 14th Division of Kenji Doihara is a Japanese permanent field division, with a high degree of mechanization. If he wants to cross the river, he must build a floating bridge on the Yellow River. It is definitely not possible to rely on ships alone. The Yellow River is not the Yangtze River, and the Japanese warships cannot enter. Therefore, we still have time. There are many rivers in Yuncheng area and the Japanese mechanized corps cannot be expanded. We can deal with the Japanese here. However, it is best to block the Japanese on the edge of the Yellow River!" Xie Chengrui pointed to the map and said.

"I think if the Japanese army wants to cross the river, they should not choose a point. With such a long river bank, they can choose more places to cross the river. The large army crosses the river, and the efficiency is faster. With the resources and river crossing equipment that the Japanese army now possesses, it is completely possible."

"The Chief of Staff's analysis makes sense. It seems that we can't just focus on Dongkou. We have to look upstream and downstream." Xie Chengrui nodded.

"In this way, the first regiment has rushed to Dongkou, the second regiment goes to the old city, the third regiment goes to Wuji, and where has the reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters been?"

"They should be still in front of a group, and they probably have arrived in Juancheng at this moment!"

"Call Guan Shuhong immediately to report the situation and location!"

"yes!"

Didi

"Associate voyage, no response!"

"Hurry again!"

"yes!"

"Second voyage, what should we do now?"

"Continue to move forward and send a search force, be careful. The Japanese army is likely to cross the river tonight!" Xie Chengrui gritted his teeth and ordered.

If the situation is not clear, it is very risky to give such an order.

Leng Feng had just gone to bed and rested for a few minutes, but Guo Weiquan called him urgently. The telegram was sent by the old regiment commander, and it was suspected that the Japanese army had smuggled across the Yellow River.

Leng Feng's sleepiness suddenly disappeared because there was no specific situation yet, and the old regiment commander could not determine whether the Japanese army had really smuggled across the Yellow River at night. Perhaps it might have been a false alarm.

But Leng Feng knew that this was definitely not a false alarm. Including the time point, it should be that the 14th Japanese division in Puyang area was dispatched.

Time and place are exactly the same.

Finally came, Leng Feng was relieved. Since Doihara finally took action, it would be easy to deal with. Moreover, Doihara's attempt could no longer be covered up by the Japanese.

"Wei Quan, immediately inform the Sun Commander-in-Chief and ask him to take strict precautions."

"yes!"

"At the same time, the order was given to the 17th Artillery Regiment and set off overnight. The destination was Juancheng and the command of the 37th Brigade of New New." Leng Feng calmly gave the order.

"yes!"

Now he can only prepare to fight with Doihira. Before the situation is completely clear, he can only say "wait" in one word. I believe that this time will not be too long and everything will be clear after dawn.

Dongkou Town.

Faced with the prepared Japanese army, the defenders were attacked into the barracks in less than ten minutes. The company commander of the defenders was afraid of death, so he left his subordinates and fled directly.

As soon as the officers fled, the soldiers lost their backbone and fled one after another!
