The elite of the guard platoon selected from the Snow Shame Battalion, Hu Biao only left one squad by his side. Including Tian Tiezhu, Hu Biao was all handed over to Xu Sandao to command. Of the eight people brought from Shanghai, only Huang Erzhuo and Qin Tianyou were left.

For such a decision, although Xu Sandao and others were a little reluctant, they did not disobey Hu Biao's order after all. The rest of the soldiers of the guard platoon who stayed behind did not feel that Hu Biao had chosen the wrong person, but felt that it would be more glorious to stay.

Perhaps, as Xu Mingzhi, the deputy commander of the Snow Shame Battalion, said, from the moment they were rescued from prison by Hu Biao, all the officers and soldiers of the Snow Shame Camp owed Hu Biao a life. When they need to repay, they will not hesitate to rush out to block the bullet for Hu Biao.

After arranging the affairs of the commando, Hu Biao returned to the front line. looked at Hu Biao who disappeared into the night, Xu Sandao and others who were staying in the presidential palace and preparing to rest, but they didn't feel sleepy, and felt that this separation might be a farewell.

Seeing the reluctance of Xu Sandao and others, Chen Gongshu, who also stayed in the presidential palace, also comforted him in a timely manner: "Lieutenant Xu, don't blame your captain, he is doing this for your good." Besides, you should trust in His abilities.

Although it will be dangerous to stay, how can your captain be a vegetarian? Now hurry back and rest, recuperate and prepare for the battle at night. The harder you fight on the perimeter, the safer our side will be, won't it? ”

Listening to Chen Gongshu's persuasion, Xu Sandao also said seriously: "Director Chen, thank you!" We'll go back and rest now, and as for the captain's safety, we'll leave it to you. Now here, it's up to you to persuade him. ”

"Don't worry! A capable person like your captain, not only the chairman is reluctant to let him die, but many people are reluctant to let him die! ”

After smiling and comforting everyone, looking at Xu Sandao and the others who finally left to rest, Chen Gongshu also admired Hu Biao for having such a group of subordinates who followed him desperately. He knew very well that these subordinates were truly loyal to Hu Biao.

This kind of loyalty is not only the loyalty of the conductor, but also the loyalty of the spirit. Even if Hu Biao ordered them to die, I am afraid that these subordinates will not frown. Such a subordinate, that commander doesn't love it?

Thinking of the instructions sent by Dai Li earlier, Chen Gongshu looked at the direction in which Hu Biao disappeared and said, "It seems that this time, I can't think of anything." Hopefully, this time, we can all turn evil into good fortune. If you really want to die here, it will be too wrong! ”

After saying this, Chen Gongshu quickly called a confidant, and after telling him, the henchman said with a little hesitation: "Director, I want to let the bureau know about this, I'm afraid he will be unhappy, right?" ”

"It's okay! I'm just preparing for the worst, and it's better to prepare in advance than to cramm! And most importantly, you don't want to live? A person like Camp Chief Hu will live as long as possible, as long as he lives, the little devil will have trouble sleeping! ”

"Understood! I'll do it right away! ”

As the person in charge of the military commander's stay in Jinling, Chen Gongshu naturally knows a lot of secret places and things. There are some things that should not have been known to Hu Biao and others, but when it comes to a critical juncture, it shouldn't be a big problem to make an exception once in a while.

During the period of contact with Hu Biao, Chen Gongshu already felt that if Hu Biao engaged in intelligence, he would definitely be a good hand. This time, the Jinling Detention Center was able to intercept a large amount of intelligence from the Japanese army, which also had a lot to do with Hu Biao's preparations in advance.

It can be said that with the credit of sticking to Jinling this time, all the team members in the entire detention office, including Chen Gongshu, can be promoted to the next level. Chen Gongshu, who has already become a colonel, is also looking forward to it, and when this siege is over, he will be eligible to be promoted to general!

Regarding Chen Gongshu's thoughts, Hu Biao, who brought people to the position again, naturally did not know. Seeing the attacking little devils, more often than occasional cold guns, Hu Biao suspected that the little devils were preparing for a big move.

Then he said: "Inform the artillery platoon, aim at the area in front, give me three rapid fires, and then immediately transfer the position." In order to prevent the little devils from carrying out artillery counterattacks, the artillery platoon fired a maximum of three rounds per shelling, and changed places after the fighting. ”

"Yes!"

Although the mountain artillery company has been notified to make preparations for the artillery bombardment, but now that the little devil has not used the artillery bombardment, Hu Biao will naturally not let the mountain artillery company do it. At such a time, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to beat the little devils with a mortar platoon.

Even if the range of the mortar is not too long, most of these little devils who are responsible for attracting fire are hiding in the area five hundred meters away. The rifle machine guns of Hu Biao and others could not hit them at all, and only mortars could force them to continue to retreat.

Besides, Hu Biao also wanted to see if the little devil was preparing for the bombardment in this way. If the little devil sees him using the artillery platoon, then when the little devil uses artillery fire to counterattack, the first position to strike is the position of the artillery platoon.

This also means that there will not be too many shells that really fall on the side of the blocking position. In this way, the officers and men who stay in the blocking positions will have more time to evade artillery fire and will be able to retain more strength.

The mortar platoon, which was ordered to rush from the presidential palace to support, received the order conveyed by Huang Ershuo, and the temporarily appointed artillery platoon commander also said resolutely: "Please tell the battalion commander that the artillery platoon guarantees to complete the task." The gunner is in position, three rapid fire ready! ”

The artillerymen, who had already set up mortar positions, knew very well that the Japanese artillery counterattack was very rapid. Just when they were worried, the platoon commander said: "After firing three shells, immediately transfer the preparations without delay, do you remember them?" ”

"Remember!"

"Attention to the gun emplacements, prepare! Three, two, one, put! ”

With the platoon commander's order, more than a dozen mortars of different calibers made a sound of knocking one after another. When these mortar shells crossed the positions defended by Liu Quan and others, they went straight to the team of little devils hiding in front of them.

In order to win the blocking position built by Hu Biao here in one fell swoop before the shelling, Ushijima Sadao still thought of some tricks. Feints with small units were used to divert the attention of the defenders, and more troops were hidden behind and on standby.

While these little devils were waiting for the shelling to begin, they did not wait for the artillery fire from the rear, but waited for the defenders to be the first to fire the shells. Looking at these whistling shells, many of the little devils waiting to attack looked a little dumbfounded.

"Not good! Shelling! Quick, hide now! ”

"Spread out! It's shelling! The shelling of the Chinese army! ”

When the first round of shells hit the area where the attacking Japanese troops were located at close or far, Hu Biao, who was waiting to block the position, held a telescope to observe the effect of the shelling. More of them is to observe what the little devil is hiding in the rear.

After the fire formed by the explosion blew up those little devils who had been hidden before, Liu Quan, who was also observing the enemy's situation, couldn't help but gasp and said, "Damn! The little devil is so insidious, he actually hides so many troops in the back! ”

But at this time, Hu Biao said: "Liu Quan, inform the soldiers in the houses to evacuate all the anti-artillery fortifications." In private houses, only a small number of vigilantes need to be retained. Not surprisingly, the little devil will soon be engaged in artillery strikes. ”

"Battalion commander, you mean that these little devils hiding behind are used to raid our positions?"

"That's right! The losses that Lao Xu suffered before, I think you should have seen it with your own eyes. It is estimated that the little devil wants to shell first, and then launch a strong attack with superior forces before we can react, and we will definitely not be able to stop it for too long. ”

"Understood! These little devils are really insidious! ”

"Fighting a war is a matter of life and death for you, and you can use whatever tricks are good. There was a sniper team staring, and the little devil in front of him couldn't rush in. When the little devils start shelling, the little devils in front of the position will inevitably retreat! ”

"Yes, I'll give the order!"

After listening to Hu Biao's analysis based on the battlefield situation, Liu Quan quickly adjusted the deployment of troops. In the eyes of the attacking little devils, the defenders who blocked them seemed to have fewer gunshots, but they would not have thought that those defenders had retreated in advance.

On the other hand, the little devil who had already pulled the mountain artillery into the inner city learned that the Japanese army in charge of the frontal attack was shelled by the defenders, and the commander of the mountain artillery brigade was also surprised: "What about it? Did the Chinese army use artillery? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Wing Commander! According to our observations, it should be a mortar of the Chinese army, and mortars of several calibers. The front-line troops were caught off guard and urgently needed our artillery support! ”

"Have you built all the positions? Calculate the position of the opponent's mortar platoon and immediately carry out an artillery counterattack! ”

"Hey!"

When a Japanese mountain artillery squadron readjusted the position of the artillery and quickly launched a counterattack. The mortar platoon, which had only fought three rounds, quickly carried the mortars operated by itself, and according to Hu Biao's previous requirements, evacuated to a spare position of nearly 500 meters next to it.

In this place, there is even a shop made of reinforced concrete, in which the soldiers of the artillery platoon hide directly. And their alternate position is about a hundred meters in front of the shop.

All you need to do is lift the mortar out, readjust the orientation and angle, and you can start shelling the attacking Japanese army. Not long after they entered the shop, a cluster of meteor-like flames appeared in the sky in the distance.

"It's dangerous! The little devil really pulled the cannon into the city! If you hadn't run fast, you might have been able to be successfully counterattacked by them! ”

Looking at the position shrouded in artillery fire, these artillerymen who retreated immediately after firing three shells felt very lucky. On the other hand, Hu Biao and others, who were staying in the blocking position, also immediately entered the anti-artillery pits and fortifications.

Because of the second batch of artillery fire of the Japanese army, it was once again overwhelming. When these shells hit the ground, Hu Biao quickly judged from the sound of the explosion that this was the Japanese army's 75 mountain artillery, not the heavy artillery used by the Japanese army outside the city earlier.

Coming to this conclusion, Hu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Order the troops, stay in the anti-artillery fortifications and don't take it lightly." This is the little devil's 75 mountain cannon and no heavy artillery, this kind of shell can't blow up our anti-artillery fortifications! ”

"Understood!"

With the instructions conveyed by Hu Biao, these blocking fighters, who were most worried about shells, also seemed much more relieved. It's just that when they see the houses that collapse from time to time, they also know very well that after this shelling, those houses will be reduced to ruins again.

On the other hand, the Japanese troops, who were attacked by forced platoons, also breathed a sigh of relief to see their artillery launch a counterattack so quickly. Just looking at the soldiers who were killed and wounded, the surviving little devils know that tonight's battle is only a hard battle!
