Baoshan County!

Twelve o'clock at night!

The rapid ringing of the phone woke up the staff officers in the battalion headquarters.

When a call comes at this time, it's probably an emergency order!

This is the consensus of the officers in the battalion headquarters.

However: the staff officer who answered the phone was stunned.

His face turned red quickly and he shouted loudly: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing, who was awakened, knew that something terrible had happened, and was afraid that the staff officer really couldn't understand the order.

He grabbed the microphone and said in a deep voice: "I am Yao Ziqing, tell me if you have any missions!"

Then he had the same expression, blushed, and said loudly: "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Report to the camp! The 1st Battalion has just captured the Lion Forest Fort!" The voice from the other side was very clear, but the content was so shocking that the listeners could not believe it.

The same content was told twice in a row, and Battalion Commander Yao believed it this time.

It only took the First Battalion an hour to capture the Shizilin Fort. Of course, such good news also reached Commander Zilu.

Third Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing and Acting Second Battalion Commander Wei Mingyang all knew the news.

The success of the first battalion gave Yao Ziqing a lot of confidence.

Of course he knew: If the Third Battalion could attack the Wusongkou Fort this time, it would be of great help to the left wing of the Songhu battlefield.

He and Captain Lu couldn't sleep either, so they kept planning the next attack on the sand table.

Being able to sleep anytime and anywhere is a basic skill for special forces.

Wei Mingyang slept until 3:30, when a gentle vibration came from his wrist, reminding him that the alarm time was up.

He quickly stood up and walked out of the room to see lights coming from the third battalion's combat command room.

As soon as I walked in, I saw the two battalion headquarters staff officers, Commander Lu, and Battalion Commander Yao, all with red eyes, still conducting deductions on the sand table.

He asked in surprise: "You guys haven't slept all night."

Yao Ziqing said: "At twelve o'clock, we received a report from the first battalion that the Lion Forest Fort was recovered, and we couldn't sleep anymore.

A plan was made overnight to attack the Wusongkou fort and subsequently cut off the road between Wusong and Jiangwan."

"How did it turn out?"

"It is not easy to capture the Wusongkou Fort, and it is even more difficult to block the highway.

Even if we block the highway from Wusongkou to Jiangwan, we cannot block the Wusong River.

The Japanese can still use gunboats to transport supplies through Wusongkou, but we cannot block the Japanese Thirteenth Division entering the hinterland.

On the contrary, they will become sharp knives piercing our stomachs, cooperating with the devils outside." Captain Lu said distressedly.

When they said this, Wei Mingyang knew: the whole night was in vain!

He said seriously now: "As the supreme commander of Baoshan Defense, good sleep is the basis for ensuring combat command.

You didn't sleep well at night and stayed up late to make a battle plan, and you got a frustrating result.

Isn’t this a bad deal at both ends?

I thought about it just now: Our defense line outside Baoshan City needs to be abandoned, but we still need to arrange it.

Get some one-foot-long bamboo poles, burn them black at the front, and press them against the defense line.

It looks like a gun barrel from a distance, and I put some military uniforms on the back to pretend that our army is guarding the trenches.

All the large troops entered the city, and the soldiers hid in the houses and ruins on both sides of the street.

All flanking firepower was deployed, and only obstacles were set up on the streets, without fortifications and fortresses.

Regiment seat, camp seat! You arrange defense in Baoshan County, I will lead the team to Wusongkou Fort."

Yao Ziqing looked at Lu Jingrong in surprise. The regimental leader was actually criticized by his battalion commander.

He still looked like he was being taught, but he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart: This Wei Yingzuo must be too disrespectful.

Although what he said is right if you think about it, don't Tuanzu lose face?

As for himself, he doesn't have to think about it now, since he has a group of people to support him.

Lu Jingrong said firmly: "I want to go with you. Yao Yingzuo will be completed in Baoshan County."

Yao Ziqing smiled bitterly and said: "Team! We have even mobilized the people.

After the people who attacked the Wusongkou Fort this time left, there are not many left in Baoshan County."

Wei Mingyang said: "Minzhuang will stay and deploy suspicious soldiers outside the city. The wounded who are not seriously injured will be temporarily responsible for the defense of the city."

Commander Lu ordered: "Gather!"

At four o'clock in the morning, more than 400 soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 583rd Regiment cleared the way with motorcycles in front, followed by tanks, and drove toward Wusongkou in a mighty manner.

Lin Shiyilang was holding a Type 38 rifle and sitting under a broken wall.

He is an ordinary soldier under Asano Hidenoki's brigade. Yesterday he received an order to attack Baoshan County.

Without aviation guidance for the siege and artillery fire preparations, the siege yesterday afternoon was very difficult.

Lin Shiyilang's team suffered seven or eight Japanese casualties, and he saw with his own eyes that at least thirty Japanese corpses were incinerated last night.

These devils who were still alive and kicking yesterday morning have turned to ashes today and been put into clay pots.

Fortunately, I was still able to watch them fit in, so I was lucky.

Sergeant Lin Shiyilang was a little unhappy when he was called up to watch the night while he was sleeping soundly.

Hiding under a broken wall to sleep is a necessary skill.

Just when it closed its eyes for a moment, it felt the ground shaking.

When Lin Shiyilang stood up, he saw a long line of lights strung together on the highway, heading towards the fort.

Sergeant Miyamoto Asaka also ran out of his hiding place: "Lin Sang! What's going on?"

"I don't know either! You stay here and I'll report to the squad leader." Lin Shiyilang was still very calm at this time.

When Captain Irie Noki was woken up by Lin Shiyilang, the lights he saw were much closer.

No matter what, he quickly blew the whistle.

Loud orders: "Enter the position! Enter the position!"

When Captain Hideko Asano received the report from Captain Irie Noki, he was already standing on the heights of Wusong Fort and saw the approaching convoy.
Chapter completed!
