Point defense: Japan vs China 1941

part of the road with a telephone line. If this line is cut, the Chinese can't call in fire support

Old Chinese fort guards the river crossing. Trenches have been added.

The Japanese begin to advance across the bridge. However, the bridge is full of small obstacles which slows down the advance.

Chinese armor and artillery begin to fire on the bridge knocking out one tank and creating chaos on the bridge. The infantry become pinned on the bridge suffering casualties until another tank can pull the wreck off clearing the way for further advance

infantry are still trying to cross with pioneers clearing the obstacles
The Chinese inflicted severe casualties on the Japanese. Chinese snipers picked off troops in the open, grenades blasted at them and a squad was whipped out by a single guy with a strapped satchel charge
It allowed the Chinese to form back up further back but the crossing fell. However with their losses, the Japanese needed to hold up and reequip
