Chapter 254
After meeting, Hu Yitong said straight to the point: "Captain Qiao, Qian, our 16th Division has given you."
"I hope you won't let us down then!"
Commander Qiao immediately responded: "Don't worry, Director Hu, Chief Lin respects me so much, how can I not do my best to do my best?"
"Liu Wanyi's order to let me stay in Hubei Province has been released. The Bamu Du, which I am responsible for, is exactly the most suitable place for troops to land."
"At that time, Chief Lin's team can land in Hubei Province from my defense zone. I will also bring more than 1,000 brothers under my jurisdiction to rebel against his mother Liu Wanyi!"
When Hu Yitong heard this, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself, can you have more than 1,000 people under your command? It would be great if you can get 600 people if you have nothing to pay.
However, Hu Yitong would not say such a slap in the face. After discussing the login with Liu Wanyi, the two left the teahouse one after another.
For two consecutive days, Hu Yitong met four regiment-level officers of the 34th Division one after another. Through the combat staff in Jiangdu County, Hu Yitong contacted the four regiment-level officers were relatively unpopular, or had conflicts with Liu Wanyi.
So, it was very smooth to win over these people. They slapped the silver bill on the table and then urged them to the fire. The people immediately decided to secretly defect to Lin Hongfei. As for the relationship with Liu Wanyi, sorry, that thing is not as good as the ocean.
What's more, there is no relationship between them and Liu Wanyi.
But Liu Wanyi was not aware of all this. In the face of false information, he had already determined that the defense of the Jiangbei River was empty, and Lin Hongfei's main force had been transferred to the Lingxi and Lingzhong areas to suppress the local rebellion.
This is the best time to take action!
Liu Wanyi is very clear about the truth that soldiers are more powerful than speed.
Therefore, after leaving three regiments to stay in the division headquarters and key positions around, Liu Wanyi divided the remaining troops into three batches.
The first batch was organized for a regiment, with an actual number of 600 people. They first landed on Orange Beach, expelled the garrisons of the 16th Division here, and established a beachhead position.
The second batch consists of three regiments, with an actual number of 1,700 people, and is responsible for consolidating the beachhead and heading inland.
The third batch consisted of four regiments, a total of 2,400 people, and he led the team to land on Orange Beach and then concentrated on attacking Jiangdu County.
In order to reduce the landing time, Liu Wanyi has collected all the ships that can be used in the surrounding waters, and there are even small boats that can only take 5 or 6 people.
Crossing the river in broad daylight may attract the attention of the other party, let the other party notice and be prepared in advance.
According to the experience of the old fishermen on the river, the night two days later should be a cloudy day with very poor light. Liu Wanyi decided to cross the river on this day.
Moreover, in order to avoid the crossing of the river from the troops who crossed the river due to sight, Liu Wanyi specially sent 30 elite troops to disguise themselves as civilians across the river in advance and lie in ambush near Orange Beach.
When it comes to the day of crossing the river, they will ignite a bonfire near Orange Beach as a reference to guide the army across the Yangtze River!
Such preparations are not inadequate, and Liu Wanyi was full of confidence in the victory of this battle.
However, all the news of this was spread to Jiangbei by several traitors.
Therefore, as soon as the 30 elite soldiers who were dressed up as a civilian crossed the river, they were captured alive by the soldiers of the 16th Division.
After learning that they were going to ignite a bonfire as a counter for crossing the river, Lin Hongfei temporarily revised the combat plan.
Liu Wanyi originally planned to cross the river as Orange Beach, and the location where the bonfire is ignited is naturally here.
Lin Hongfei deliberately changed the bonfire location to Longtou Beach, not far from Orange Beach.
Unlike the Orange Beach, which is still firm in the water season, once Longtou Beach reaches the water season, the entire ground is muddy. If you step on it, the deepest place can be more than one meter deep.
With such muddy ground, let alone running forward, even taking a few steps, your shoes will be sticky to you!
At this time, if the troops of the 16th Division set up an ambush in advance and fired at the enemy on Longtou Beach, these enemy soldiers who were restricted by mud would be living targets.
It is necessary to let the 34th Division land on this ground!
At the same time, a 600-man surprise attack force took advantage of the night to land from Bamudu in Hubei Province. The commander of the garrison, who had been bribed, personally brought people to welcome him.
However, in order to cover up the eyes, the commander of the garrison of the 34th Division claimed that this was a reinforcement brought by Liu Wanyi's division from another place, so as to strengthen the defense in the rear.
It was soon late at night two days later. As the bonfire was lit on the other side, Liu Wanyi, who was observed with a telescope, immediately showed an excited expression. The 30 elite soldiers did not disappoint their expectations and ignited the bonfire on time.
Liu Wanyi immediately shouted at the first group of soldiers crossing the river: "The brothers who crossed the river have already ignited the bonfire. Everyone just needs to cross the river through the bonfire and will definitely not go astray!"
"Brothers, it's time for us to make achievements for the Grand Marshal!"
"Captain Jiangdu County, each person will reward 10 oceans. They will perform well and have rewards."
"Brothers, get on the boat and rush for me!"
At this time, the first batch of soldiers crossing the river had boarded the ship. With Liu Wanyi's order, the boatmen shook their oars and swung their sails, and wooden boats of different sizes sailed towards the other side of the river.
On the wooden boat, although the soldiers of the 34th Division were a little nervous, they were even more excited.
Every time we fight, everyone can go to the people's houses to grab some things and money.
If you are lucky, you can still grab a few girls.
Everyone has long heard that Jiangdu County is a rich place, and the women there are also very beautiful, which makes everyone look forward to it.
The crossing of the river was smooth, and when the first ship was about to dock, the experienced boatman felt that something was wrong with the landing.
It seems that this is not Orange Beach?
This place is more like Longtou Beach!
The boatman wanted to raise an objection, but then he thought that the 34th Division's army men asked him to drive the boat to the bonfire.
I did this myself.
So, it doesn’t matter whether this place is Orange Beach or not!
Anyway, these people don’t give them money to collect their own ships. Why bother with that leisure?
Thinking of this, the boatman stopped at the position where the ship was about to be stranded according to his previous experience, and then said to the soldiers on the boat:
"Dear soldiers, you are here, it's time for you to get off the boat!"
Hearing this, the soldiers did not hesitate and turned over and got off the boat one by one. With the thumping sound, Jiangshui immediately reached their waist position.
Then, they stepped on the muddy river bottom and approached the beach where the bonfire was lit step by step.
Behind them, more than 600 vanguard troops disembarked one by one and wade forward one by one.
Chapter completed!
