    "It's not easy to attack? Is it?"

    After hearing this, Zhang Zongling's mouth curved up.

    "Tianyi, you immediately send electricity to the frontline troops, and the whole army stops attacking immediately! Concentrate all the artillery we brought over, and bombard the Zhenjiang city wall for half an hour. After half an hour, let the troops launch a feint attack. After half an hour of the feint attack, the whole army immediately stops fighting!  "

    Zhang Zongling raised his wrist and looked at the time before saying.

    "Ah? Master, it's only half past four. If we fight like this, the chief will be angry!"

    As soon as Zhou Tianyi heard Zhang Zongling's order, he felt that it was a joke, wasn't it nonsense!

    "Don't worry! This is the command from the commander-in-chief. Just carry it out. You will know the details tonight!"

    Zhang Zongling waved his hand. Of course he would not tell Zhou Tianyi that there would be a sneak attack tonight.

    There are 70,000 to 80,000 Japs in Zhenjiang. If they want to kill these 70,000 to 80,000 people, there will inevitably be street fighting. It will take at least a month or two to win such a battle, and there are too many variables.  .

    This time, the Little Devils mobilized eight divisions, three here and five in other places. Moreover, the Little Devils also had troops stationed in Shanghai and other places.  Fighting for a month or two, not to mention other things, even if you eat these 70,000 to 80,000 little Japanese, your own casualties will not be small, and the troops will be exhausted. How can you continue to fight then?

    ?¡­

    "Chief, it's 5:20 in the afternoon! I guess the 134th Division's feint attack is about to end!"

    "Well! Yes! Their feint attack is about to end. Have all the 135th Division passed?"

    Zhou Weiguo asked as he stood outside the headquarters, looking at the sunset in the distance.

    "It's all over. However, the divisional artillery regiments and 105-caliber artillery of each infantry division have not been transported yet!"

    Yang Jie and Zhou Weiguo stood side by side, both looking at the sunset with their hands behind their backs.

    "Now we already have six floating bridges!"

    "Yes! There are six floating bridges!"

    "Let the troops build steel-framed bridges. Six pontoon bridges are enough for our troops. Now we need steel-framed bridges. Only steel-framed bridges can withstand the load of our armored vehicles!"

    Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice, the mobility of the Eighty-eighth Army lies in this armored personnel carrier.

    "I'm afraid it will take some time. Even if we have ready-made materials, it will take at least three days to erect such a steel bridge. Cranes are also needed!"

    Yang Jie glanced at Zhou Weiguo and said, the steel frame bridge planned by Zhou Weiguo is not an ordinary bridge. Almost most of it is made of steel. It is usually in the state of parts and is assembled once used.

    The most critical thing is that this bridge not only has to withstand armored personnel carriers, but also 155-caliber heavy artillery, and even other vehicles carrying weapons and ammunition.  Therefore, bridge piers are necessary, and they are made of steel.

    He had seen the parts of the bridge pier before.

    The bridge pier is composed of five large parts, four of which are large square iron blocks. Each large iron block weighs 1.2 tons. The remaining large part is a trapezoid. It is the connection point of the bridge pillars and weighs two tons.  .

    Just this one bridge pier weighs 6.8 tons when assembled, so Yang Jie said it would take a long time.  If such a steel bridge is well maintained, it will not be a big problem for a few years, not just decades.

    And it¡¯s just such a bridge pier. According to previous calculations by the Engineering Corps, twenty such bridge piers are needed to build such a bridge over the Yangtze River.

    The bridge piers were not a problem. Zhou Weiguo had bought them from the system and distributed them to them.  This thing is not a strategic material, nor is it anything else. It is just this kind of infrastructure. It is extremely cheap, and there is nothing expensive about it.

    "Three days is three days. And regarding cranes, we can use small cranes instead of large cranes. At most, two cranes can be used to lift one bridge pier, or if two are not enough, then three. These difficulties are not difficulties. If we do not build steel bridges,  Our armored vehicles and heavy artillery simply can¡¯t get past it.¡±

    Yang Jie nodded after hearing this, that was indeed the question.  If the heavy artillery cannot pass, it means that they will have no heavy artillery support next.

    The sky is getting dark gradually, inside the headquarters of the Sixth Division

    "Today we lost 4,650 people. The 13th Regiment now only has one wing headquarters and a flag guard squadron. The 23rd Regiment suffered more than half of its casualties, and the 47th Regiment suffered only a few casualties.  More than three hundred casualties!"

      Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo stood in front of Gu Shoufu, holding a folder in his hand and said.

    "More than 4,600 people were killed? Where is the Navy's Third Fleet? Why hasn't their Third Fleet arrived yet?"

    Gu Shoufu¡¯s voice was cold, and at the same time he was very angry.  He believed that the reason why the Eighty-eighth Army was able to cross the river and land so successfully today was entirely due to the navy's inaction. Otherwise, how could the Eighty-eighth Army cross the river so easily!

    ¡°Commander Yan Junliu just sent a telegram that the Navy¡¯s Third Fleet will not arrive here until noon tomorrow!¡±

    "Tomorrow at noon? These navy are really useless. The empire spends so much military money to support them, and even a war has to be late for so long! They should all commit suicide to serve His Majesty!"

    The figure of 4,650 casualties has always been irritating Tani Hisafu's nerves. Now that he heard that the Navy's Third Fleet would not arrive until tomorrow, he immediately became angry.

    Huo Dazuo of Shimono looked at Gu Shoufu who was angry there and didn't dare to speak, just stood there.

    The conflict between the sea and the land has been going on for a long time. The navy has always disliked the army, and the army has disliked the navy. The two have long been enemies.

    After a while, Gu Shoufu finally calmed down his anger.

    "You go and generate electricity for the 19th Division and let them enter Zhenjiang City tonight. Starting from tomorrow, their 19th Division will be responsible for the defense. Our Sixth Division cannot continue to lose like this. If we continue to lose like this,  In a few days, our Sixth Division will be wiped out!"

    "Ha~yi~"

    When Gu Shoufu had other thoughts in his mind, in a courtyard in Nanjing City, a group of people were inspecting weapons, ammunition and various equipment.

    Needless to say, these people are naturally Ma Chenglong¡¯s special team.

    Last time, hundreds of people were selected, but in the end, less than fifty people were left. Adding in the more than twenty people who were personally trained by Zhou Weiguo before, there are now only more than sixty people here, and a total of less than seventy people.

    "Old Ma, do you think that if we suddenly rescue the old man tonight, will the little devil be furious?"

    The speaker was Xu Weihe, the former commander of the reconnaissance company of the 134th Division. After following Ma Chenglong to kill the division commander of the 16th Division, Ma Chenglong asked him to join the special operations team.

    "I don't know if he will be furious, but I know that as long as we rescue the old man, the little devil will have nothing to threaten us!"

    Ma Chenglong wiped the submachine gun in his hand and said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
