Now a mist has risen on the Nu River, drifting in all directions with the gentle morning breeze.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, Liao Mingyu went directly to the top of Jiqipo Mountain. Along with him were Long Wenwen and other senior officers of the Sichuan Army.
"Tuanzuo, the fog is too thin, not enough to hide the troops." Long Wenwen put down the telescope and said with some regret.
"It's not that simple. Wait and see. Let the troops prepare first and notify Yu Xiaoqing." Liao Mingyu said in a deep voice, and his eyes drifted into the distance as he spoke.
This heavy fog came very suddenly. As the sky gradually turned white, the fog became thicker and thicker. At about 5 o'clock, a large thick white fog rose and filled the entire river surface.
From this distance, it was no longer possible to see clearly what was happening along the river, let alone the farther west bank. Looking from the top of the mountain, the entire both sides of the Nu River were completely shrouded in white mist.
Unable to wait any longer, Liao Mingyu immediately issued an order: "Meng Fan, the First Battalion is on standby in the east of the town. Notify Kang Ya that the transportation troops of the heavy supply camp will be in place immediately!"
"clear."
"Long Wenwen, call the commando team to gather at the riverside, and the rest of the troops will take up their positions as planned."
"yes!"
"Let's go to the water line!" Liao Mingyu waved his hand and led everyone towards the river.
…
At this moment, Yu Xiaoqing has been waiting here for a long time at the launch line on Jiangfang. The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the eyes can only focus on a few steps away. The world seems to be covered by a huge fog tent.
"Master Yu's seat."
"You are finally here. Today's heavy fog is rare in a year. What should we say?" Yu Xiaoqing hurriedly came to greet him. He wanted to know if he could take this opportunity to attack.
"Let the troops get ready, my commando team is already in place, and the first echelon will start crossing the river at 6 o'clock." Liao Mingyu said in a deep voice.
Yu Xiaoqing nodded, success or failure depended on this. If this plan failed, he really didn't know what else he could do to attack Nantianmen.
"Okay, Zhang Lixian!"
"have"
"Tell the artillery battalion to get ready, have all three main regiments of Hai Zhengchong on standby, take out all the river crossing equipment, and fully cooperate with the Sichuan Army!"
"yes!"
Although the incident happened suddenly, Zhang Lixian also understood that this matter was of great importance and immediately took orders to make arrangements.
At this moment, Yu Xiaoqing no longer had the calmness of the past. He walked back and forth to prepare himself, obviously unable to contain the excitement in his heart.
It's just that except for Zhang Lixian and other personal entourage around him, none of them came, including Hai Zhengchong and Yu Dazhi, and Deputy Master Tang was not present. This situation made people feel very strange.
But Yu Xiaoqing just thought that the incident happened suddenly and those few people didn't have time to react. After all, he didn't explain this operation clearly to them.
Liao Mingyu glanced around quietly and then withdrew his gaze. He squinted his eyes and whispered to the side: "Zhang Liu, get ready with the people from the guard camp and act according to the plan."
"clear!"
Zhang Liu naturally knew what he meant, nodded silently and retreated.
"Commander, have you really decided? I have to remind you that such behavior is simply suicide!"
Master Mai also got the news at this moment. Although he already knew the general plan of Liao Mingyu, he was not optimistic about this crazy behavior.
During this period of training and contact with the Sichuan Army, he gradually recognized this energetic and unique team.
But now their commander actually issued such an order, which was so crazy that Lao Mai, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, couldn't bear the soldiers to die.
"Mike, this is China. Sometimes you can't look at problems from your Western perspective."
Liao Mingyu smiled lightly and gradually cast his eyes into the distance:
"Remember what I said? No one wants to be someone else's bargaining chip, but someone has to stand up and sacrifice. Our land is still in the hands of the invaders, and my soldiers dare to give everything they have to regain the land! This is Chinese soldiers!”
The soldiers of the Sichuan Army are not afraid of death, and the soldiers of the Sichuan Army dare to die. This is the best explanation!
"Jesus Christ! What a bunch of lunatics, God bless you." Master Mai sighed and reluctantly accepted this fact.
At the same time, under the cliff of Jiqi Slope.
The 100 soldiers in the first echelon have already picked up their weapons and are ready to go. A dozen kayaks and wooden boats have already been pushed into the water. They are just waiting for the order from the leader to start the operation.
Long Wenwen will personally lead the first echelon to launch the assault, while Dong Dao's second echelon will immediately cross the river to follow up when they take fire, and open the road to the tree fort with Long Wenwen.
The third echelon, the third battalion of the Sichuan Army, will attack the Japanese position as soon as it receives the signal!
Meng Fanlie and Xing Fuquan were already on their way to Luqiao Township with the First and Second Battalions. They carried radios to keep in touch and would respond accordingly based on the upcoming battle situation.
Moments before departure, Liao Mingyu finally decided to invest two troops in the opposite direction.
Although the first battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness, after all, it only has more than 1,100 people. If the situation changes and the reverse slope cannot be attacked for a long time, the entire battle will become a tug-of-war, so he must ensure that the raid can be a fatal blow to the Japanese.
As for the frontal battlefield, the addition of Yu Xiaoqing can alleviate a lot of pressure. If not, the third battalion only needs to occupy the first defensive position for comprehensive defense.
At present, the Sichuan Legion is in full action, including Yu Division, who has also entered the state under Yu Xiaoqing's dispatch.
The First Main Regiment has completed its assembly and is ready to cross the river at any time. The Second and Third Main Regiments and the artillery battalion also sent news of their readiness.
Three Sherman tanks even appeared on the riverside. This was the largest support Yu Xiaoqing's father had obtained for him besides the Air Force.
After all, they are a family of warlords. Liao Mingyu was particularly jealous when he looked at the three tanks. He could only rely on the system to make some achievements for the Sichuan Army. The whole family of his Yu division was running smoothly.
However, Liao Mingyu believes that after the battle of Nantianmen is over, the generous rewards will no longer be a dream, and what should be given will eventually come.
…
Long Wenzhang looked at his watch, 5:58. It was almost the appointed time, and then he slung his submachine gun behind his back and whispered to everyone: "Everyone get on the boat and stay quiet. Even if you are shot, I have to hold it in!"
"Commandos, let's go!"
The first echelon of soldiers immediately lined up in an orderly manner and boarded the raft. They took out their paddles and paddled carefully, quickly approaching the west bank.
A kayak can carry seven people, and it can accommodate about four or five people including weapons and equipment. A total of 17 kayaks and more than 20 wooden boats and bamboo rafts were enough for the first echelon to cross the Nu River at the fastest speed.
Although this foggy day prevented all planes from taking off, it also hid Long Wenwen and others who were stowing away to the other side. Otherwise, the Japanese army had already prepared a firepower network for them.
