Without waiting for Qin Chuan to enter the river, Lu Chengshuang suddenly shouted from behind: "Qin Chuan! ”

Seeing Lu Chengshuang running over, Qin Chuan frowned and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Lu Chengshuang's clothes were covered with blood, and he obviously had just come out of the operating room, so he hurried here.

"I... I'm a little relieved that you can't afford to be safe. Lu Chengshuang's words were too explicit, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he could only say it to Qin Chuan implicitly.

Qin Chuan smiled, then took out the pocket watch that Lu Chengshuang gave him and said, "Look, your pocket watch has always protected me!" This is my talisman, and it will be fine! ”

Hearing this, Lu Chengshuang grinned and said, "That····· Then I'll wait for you to come back here! ”

Qin Chuan smiled, and then pointed to the highest bell tower in the Japanese army's block and said, "Do you see that bell tower?" Tomorrow morning, if you look up over there, you'll see our flag flying on it. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chengshuang looked at the night in the distance.

The bell tower was occupied by the Japanese and a searchlight was installed there to observe the surrounding situation. At this moment, it was like the eyes of a giant, flashing above the bell tower.

"Okay, I'll look over there tomorrow morning!" Lu Chengshuang said this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qin Chuan nodded, and then jumped into the somewhat cold river without hesitation.

Under the cover of night, the soldiers of the 9th Company and the guard platoon, like water ghosts, began to sneak along the river to the rear of the Japanese flank.

The hour hand came to six o'clock, Sun Yuanliang closed the pocket watch, and then ordered: "Artillery regiment, start bombarding immediately!" ”

After he finished speaking, hundreds of artillery pieces on the artillery positions of the national army began to bombard those neighborhoods occupied by the Japanese army.

"Fire!!"

The shouts of cannon fire came and went in the dark night. With the issuance of one order after another, on the artillery positions of the national army, those artillerymen began to cooperate with the tacit understanding to load the shells, and then fired these shells.

Hundreds of shells were fired at the same time, and under the dark night sky, these shells cut straight through an arc and landed between the Japanese blocks.

The Japanese army had already noticed the movement of the Nationalist troops in the opposite block yesterday. They had a premonition that the enemy might attack, so the Japanese prepared for battle in advance.

"Boom !!"

The shells landed in the barricades where the Japanese troops were stationed, and there were loud noises, and the flames and smoke that rushed into the sky filled the neighborhood where the Japanese troops were located in an instant.

The Japanese soldiers hid in the trenches and held on to their steel helmets.

The shell exploded, knocking down the house. The shattered masonry flew in all directions in the air and then fell to the ground with a clatter. Some Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches were smashed on the steel helmets by rubble, making loud noises.

There were even some unlucky Japanese soldiers who were killed and injured by these stones.

In addition to this, some large-caliber artillery shells exploded in close proximity to the trenches. At the same time as overturning the ground, it also lifted the Japanese troops hidden in the trench into the air.

Broken corpses, organs shredded by shock waves and shrapnel, scattered over the positions of the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army was under heavy bombardment, the soldiers of the 88th Division had already begun to rush out of their positions and came to the transition zone between the two sides.

They would hide here, wait until the shelling was over, and then launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

At this time, most of the soldiers of the 88th Division were highly motivated, and the commanders were determined to die to capture the Japanese position.

Long Yuhang, the commander of the armored battalion, looked at the Japanese army block on the opposite side that was covered and shrouded by artillery fire, and the corners of his mouth rose.

He looked at the tank under him, and he had a bottom in his heart. I feel that tonight, we will definitely be able to make a great breakthrough in the Japanese defense line.

But what he didn't know was that tonight's battle would be so tragic that he couldn't imagine it.

The cannon roared, but it had nothing to do with Qin Chuan and his soldiers. At this time, he was floating in the river.

Their weapons and equipment were packed in sealed bags. Because they need to dive, they carry very simple equipment, only guns and ammunition, as well as some necessary explosives and grenades.

Most of the Japanese soldiers stationed in the neighborhood next to the Suzhou Creek had already entered the trenches and buildings, waiting for the shelling to end.

However, they were somewhat surprised, because the enemy artillery fire was fierce, bombarding large areas of the city. But they alone missed them, and from the bombardment just now to the present, not a single shell has landed here.

Saharu Nagakawa, the commander of the 38th Wing, looked at the neighboring neighborhood shrouded in artillery fire with a telescope, and felt very strange in his heart. The heart said that why didn't a single shell fall in his neighborhood? It shouldn't be!

However, he was still very cautious, thinking that there was a possibility that the enemy was confusing him. Immediately order the searchlights on the bell tower to focus on monitoring the direction of Ping'an Street to prevent a sudden attack by the enemy.

Qin Chuan and his soldiers sneaked more smoothly than expected. As they passed through the neighborhood where the Japanese were stationed, they didn't even touch a single patrol.

Because of the fierce shelling, the Japanese soldiers of those patrols also hid in the trenches and other fortifications in the neighborhood at this time, for fear that these shells would fall on their heads.

Qin Chuan, with his six sons and Zhang Changshan, passed through the transition between the two sides from the Suzhou Creek in this way, and entered the woods where they had been hiding the last time they came.

The woods by the river, still lush at this time, were covered by bushes and weeds.

After entering the woods, all the soldiers immediately took out all the sealed guns and other weapons.

They all use flower traps, and each soldier carries a grenade and the necessary bullets. In addition to this, there were some explosives for blasting, and Molotov cocktails filled with napalm.

Qin Chuan took out the Japanese army's defense map, and he had already asked his soldiers to memorize this drawing. Especially the commander, everyone needs to do it, even if they don't have this defense map, they can accurately tell where the Japanese army's firepower is.

"Our attack this time is divided into three squads.

A small team, under my personal command, was mainly responsible for raiding and harassing the field hospital next to the Japanese army and causing chaos.

The second squad, commanded by Zhang Changshan, mainly used all its firepower to storm the positions of the Japanese forward headquarters.
