The 401st Regiment of the Fourth Division and the 701st Regiment of the 7th Division were the main forces of this charge. To be honest, it was a forced one to fight night battles. Bai Chongxi had sent scouts to infiltrate the enemy's position before and found that if he waited for the day, he would probably not even be able to cross the river. If he was not in the river, then the battle would turn into shooting each other across the bank.

The scouts of the front-line attack troops have observed the fluctuations and falls of the Mi River for three consecutive nights and have explored more than a dozen areas where they can wader through the water.

Liu Xuyi, the leader of the 401st Regiment, is on the attacking position at this moment. Needless to say, if this war is over, if he is still alive, then the one waiting for him will definitely be high promotion. After all, the war has been going on now, tough battles like Zhu Jiaqiao are really rare, and more battles are as easy as using plug-ins.

Liu Zhenhuan, the former commander of the 701st Regiment, has been transferred to the 10th Division, so the current military chief is Lin Hu. This person has a complicated identity, has a background in the Tongmenghui, but he is also a former subordinate of Lu Rongting. Therefore, when the Seventh Division was formed, his position was the deputy commander and chief of staff of the 701st Regiment. However, this person is very talented and has performed outstandingly in several battles with Bai Chongxi. Therefore, after Liu Zhenhuan was promoted this time, Lin Hu was appointed as the acting commander of the 701st Regiment by Bai Chongxi. The original practice should have been taken over by the commander of the 702nd Regiment.

It is worth noting that as the first batch of troops to cross the river, the officers and soldiers of the two regiments of the Sharp Knife Company were equipped with steel helmets. This is a rare object, designed and promoted by Wang Zhenyu himself, and the style is similar to the German Army style. At first, everyone didn't like to wear this thing because it hurts after wearing it for a long time. However, as this thing effectively reduces casualties, this thing became popular. Unfortunately, due to the production capacity, the steel helmet called "Zhenyu Style" is not available at present, but all the sharp knife troops were distributed. In addition, the officers above the platoon were also distributed. This situation also led to the steel helmet becoming a fashion item for the youth army.

Lin Hu is from Guangxi, 29 years old this year. He is still very satisfied to be promoted to the regiment commander before he was thirty years old. After all, now it is no longer as early as the Youth Army. All positions are full of people. Lin Hu's personality traits are straightforward and righteous. He admires those who are capable, so he admires Liu Xuyi very much. The reason is naturally the Battle of Zhujiaqiao. The "Youth Army" military newspaper reported this battle in a series of articles, and the battle was not bad. Otherwise, those who play with guns can't beat the pen. In the writings of these military newspaper reporters, this battle was shocking the world and the ghosts were sorrowful that the sixth division of Ma Jizeng rushed over like a tide, while the 401st Infantry Regiment led by Liu Xuyi was like an indestructible rock, allowing the enemy to smash it, and I remained unmoved. In this way, in Lin Hu's eyes, Liu Xuyi was a godlike existence.

This is also a culture of the Youth Army. Anyone who has participated in the Yudaimen surprise attack is the most powerful master, and those who have participated in the National Protection War are also very awesome. It was not until the war against Japan and the Soviet Union that this culture was changed and the topic was broken.

Lin Hu's respect was written on his face, which made Liu Xuyi very comfortable, and naturally became much more polite to Lin Hu. In order to facilitate coordination, Liu Xuyi and Lin Hu discussed, and placed the two regiment headquarters in adjacent firepower points. The youth army during this period was no better than the later National Defense Forces period. The regiment-level command department was in the tradition of this period and was considered a manifestation of courage. However, later it was because a tragedy occurred in the battle against Japan. After Wang Zhenyu repeatedly emphasized and repeated punishments, this fashionable tradition was changed.

There was still some time before the attack, and Liu Xuyi and Lin Hu leaned against the trench wall, smoking special cigarettes and canned fish while chatting.

"Brother Lin Hu, your 701st Regiment has also participated in the battle in Guangxi. Why do I look at the brothers under your command a little nervous? They all stared at the front with their eyes tightly. They are not tired."

Lin Hu observed carefully and found that at this time, his assault company of the 701st Regiment was serious, holding the steel gun in both hands, looking straight ahead, as if he was going to find an enemy in the dark night, and then look at the assault company of the 401st Regiment, sitting cross-legged against the wall, without wearing a steel helmet, all of them placed on their legs, closed their eyes and resting.

"Brother Liu, what you said is true. In fact, we fought several battles in Guangxi and Guangdong, but our Commander Bai is very powerful. He relied on his strength to suppress his opponents in these battles, so he thought about it carefully and was very relaxed. This is the case in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. Just chase and catch prisoners, and save on shooting."

Liu Xuyi said in a daze: "Chief Bai is so powerful. Long Jiguang's Ji army is very capable. At the Second Revolution, they will defeat the Guangdong army, which is three times more than them, and they will seize Guangzhou."

Lin Hu took a deep breath again: "Who said it wasn't, that,."

"Who is smoking? Don't you know the light control?" Before Lin Hu finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud shout from the law enforcement team of the 7th Division. Lin Hu was so scared that he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.

At this time, the law enforcement team members who were responsible for patrolling this area said viciously: "The attack will be launched later, and the target will be exposed, and the military law will be employed."

After saying that, he left Liu Xuyi, who was stunned, and left. Liu Xuyi asked in surprise: "Who is this? You are so powerful, even you, the leader, dares to scold you."

Lin Hu smiled bitterly and said, "This is our division's law enforcement team. It's amazing. They have Commander Bai as their backer and are all gray-faced to everyone. Last time, a regiment commander went out to visit prostitutes and was caught by these grandsons. They forced themselves to become battalion commanders and were beaten to thirty military sticks. However, as long as you do not violate the military rules, they will not cause trouble for you."

Liu Xuyi nodded, secretly glad that the Fourth Division did not have such a unit, and was still thinking about it. A young messenger jumped into the trench and asked softly: "Correction Liming, are Commander Liu of 401 and Commander Lin of 701 here? I am the messenger of the Left Route Army Command."

Liu Xuyi quickly replied in accordance with the military regulations: "At dawn, I am Liu Xuyi, the commander of the 401st Regiment of the Fourth Division of the Tiger Youth Army, and Lin Hu of the 701st Regiment is by my side."

The young messenger paused and saluted: "Transfer the verbal order of the Left Route Army Command. Within half an hour, three flares rose from the rear of the position were to launch an attack; firepower was extended one minute after the artillery fire strike began. The command required the infantry to start assault, and no mistakes were made, and the order was conveyed."

Liu Xuyi replied: "One minute after the artillery attack, our headquarters began to attack and resolutely implemented the command center's orders, and it was completed."

After the messenger left, Lin Hu and Liu Xuyi ended their idle talk. The two shook hands with each other and said, "See you in Nanjing,."

At 11:29, three dazzling red signal flares suddenly rose from the night sky. Almost at the same time, the division artillery and regiment artillery of the Fourth Division and the Seventh Division were unceremonious and sent their roars, sending the four-pound artillery shells that symbolized death and doom to the Beiyang Army opposite the river.

Although Liu Xuyi had fought a tough battle, he was a little nervous at this moment. After all, it was a night battle and had never played it before. Once the operation was not done properly, it was likely that the accident would collapse on its own before the enemy was defeated. Therefore, Liu Xuyi repeatedly reminded the company platoon leaders not to rush to attack, and to pay attention to maintaining the system at all times to avoid dispersal of the team.

One minute passes quickly for the infantry waiting for the attack, but it is as long as a year for the Beiyang Army hiding in the trenches and being bombed.

The artillery fire began to extend to the rear of the enemy's positions. With the sound of the second whistle, all the officers and soldiers of the assault company jumped out of the trenches and started the assault. If you observe carefully, these assault troops were not wearing pants or shoes.

Less than thirty meters out of the position, everyone jumped into the river that was over the knee, and then walked through the Mi River, which was less than 80 meters wide. As soon as they got ashore, the sound of cannons became loose. Everyone hurriedly took the time to put on their pants. After all, it was still March, and the river water was still very cold like the weather. If the pants were wet at this time, it would be bad.

As soon as he put his pants on, the soldiers of the Youth Army bravely plunged into the Beiyang Army's position. The concept of bravery in combat has penetrated into each of them through political cadres and generous treatment. Wang Zhenyu's view on this is very good. People know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. That is after enough food and clothing. If you don't have enough food or clothing, you have to be polite, righteousness, integrity and shame. That is an inhuman and anti-human approach.

Behind the two assault companies, the division engineers had already rushed into the river with charge small wooden boats. They had calculated the best pontoon bridge setting point, so soon the iron locks connected the small wooden boats. The 220 cm long and 130 cm wide wooden boards were spread out piece by piece by piece by shoulder by the engineers. In less than ten minutes, three pontoon bridges were set up, and the subsequent troops began to cross the river.

At this time, the Beiyang Army had not yet recovered from the artillery attack. When the assault company rushed into the front line, the 7th Battalion of the Anwu Army was guarding the front line. Their positions were in a mess in the artillery attack just now. Four or five heavy machine gun fire points were accurately damaged, and casualties were also very tragic. However, the officer leading the troops was quite experienced. When he saw the intensity of the artillery fire, he immediately concluded that the youth army on the opposite side would come over. He immediately kicked and pulled hundreds of people to the position to resist. As a result, the two sides had an intimate contact directly in the trench. It was so dark that it was hard to distinguish between the enemy and us, so a big melee began.
