"At present, there is only one battalion of us, and the other troops have not yet arrived, so we have to wait for them, and it will be tomorrow at the earliest." Wang Zhong frowned, staring into the distance with a grim face.

"So, Brother Wang, you have to stay here for at least one night?" Zhao Zilong asked in surprise.

"Yes." Wang Zhong nodded, then smiled bitterly and explained: "We have to stay here, because we have not received an order to retreat, so we have to guard for a day and a night." If we evacuate now, but there are more than 20 kilometers away from Yuhuatai, if we want to retreat, this road is basically flat land, if we are chased by devils, it will be more than lucky. So, it's better to rely on this high ground now, or be able to defend it here. ”

"There are more than 1,000 people in the devil brigade, and you alone have only 500 people, so how can you hold it? And the devils are much better equipped than you, they also have cannons and ironclad vehicles. ”

Zhao Zilong remembered that he saw on the road that those devil infantry teams not only had artillery teams, but also those battle armor convoys.

"Well, that's a bit of a hassle." Wang Zhong nodded.

Everyone stayed in the trenches, tensed their nerves, and prepared for battle, but after waiting for more than half an hour, there was no movement on the side of the devils.

"Camp! Do you think the devils are going to wait until the night to attack? ”

At this time, Zhang Long quietly walked over and asked Wang Zhong for instructions.

"What are you doing here? Go back, the devils may come to attack at any time. Wang Zhong suddenly glared at the other party.

"Brother Wang! I don't think the devils will attack. At this time, Zhao Zilong said.

Everyone looked at him strangely.

"You see, now the devils are camped there, and if they were in a hurry to attack, they wouldn't have done this." Zhao Zilong put down the binoculars and pointed ahead to explain.

"Oh, yes! Brother, if you don't say I don't know! The devils generally attack with artillery blasts, then charge with ironclad vehicles, and finally attack with infantry. I don't think they have a cannon? ”

Wang Zhong took the eight-fold monocular and looked into the distance, and couldn't help patting his thigh.

By this time the sun had set in the west, and it was getting dark.

After Wang Zhong knew that the devils would not attack for the time being, he ordered everyone to hurry up their meals.

Dinner was simple, steamed buns and pickles.

However, it is also a good choice for Zhao Zilong, who eats compressed biscuits mostly these days.

And when he took out the biscuits to share with everyone, those national-soldiers said that they tasted good.

"Brother, aren't you going to Nanjing to find someone?" Wang Zhong asked while eating steamed buns, "How did you come here?" ”

"Brother Wang, I was chased here by the devil because I blew up the devil's cannon and killed their captain." Zhao Zilong said with a smile.

"What?" Wang Zhong's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked Zhao Zilong up and down, as if he didn't know him.

After a while, he said, "Brother, can you tell me about the past few days?" ”

"No problem." Zhao Zilong nodded.

Zhao Zilong began to talk about the two of them when they were separated in Wuxi.

He said that on the way, he encountered the devil troops of the 9th Regiment of the 16th Division slaughtering all the villagers in the small village, so he attacked the devils camping in Fulin Town at night, and on the way to retreat, because he met Li Quan in the grove and wanted to bully the Yang family sisters and brothers, so he stepped forward to teach the two of them a lesson.

Then on the way, I heard the devil soldiers talking about the killing of 100 people, so I decided to assassinate Ishii Naruto and Ishida ya.

Later, he infiltrated the devil's camp, cut off the hands and feet of the two devils, and cut off their flesh.

"Good! Well done! When he heard this, Wang Zhong couldn't help but applaud loudly.

But Zhao Zilong said that after the incident, he was surrounded by devils and was trapped in the warehouse and couldn't come out. In the end, he made a desperate attempt to blow up the arsenal before he escaped.

Hearing this, Wang Zhong's face suddenly tensed, his eyes widened, and he was so shocked that sweat flowed out.

Later, when he heard Zhao Zilong say that he got out of the thrill, he frowned.

After Zhao Zilong drank a sip of water, he said that when he came to the vicinity of Fangshan after he got out, he met the devil troops again, and when he saw that the dead national soldiers on the position were stabbed by the devils a lot, he decided to retaliate.

So there is the matter of blowing up the devil's cannon, and then sniping the devil's captain.

Wang Zhong listened all the way, and his reaction at that time was both happy and worried. His eyes lit up when he was happy, and when he heard how Zhao Zilong killed the devil, he shouted loudly, making the surrounding national army cast strange glances.

But when he heard that Zhao Zilong was chased and killed by devils, especially in the warehouse, his tense wrinkles were almost like wringing out water.

"Brother Wang, I'm not leaving tonight, I'll help you fight off this wave of devils' attacks together, and then enter Nanjing City."

Zhao Zilong thought it through, he decided to fight devils with Wang Zhong here, advance and retreat together, and then enter Nanjing City.

"Okay, with my brother here, then my plan tonight will definitely be more than half successful." Wang Zhong looked at him with a firm gaze.

"Plans? Brother Wang, what are your plans for tonight? Zhao Zilong raised his eyebrows and looked at each other strangely.

"Yes, just now I heard that brother, you were able to infiltrate the devil's barracks, blow up their arsenal, and blow up the cannon halfway, then I thought of this plan." Wang Zhong nodded.

"Brother Wang, is the plan you said planning to attack the devil's camp tonight?" Zhao Zilong's eyes lit up and he immediately asked. "That's right." Wang Zhong smiled and explained: "Since we have no support, and our number is smaller than that of the devils, it will be difficult to hold out for a day. Therefore, only by taking the initiative to attack first and destroying the heavy weapons of the devils can there be hope of holding on. ”

"Brother, I just want to take advantage of the fact that the devil has just arrived tonight and has not yet gained a foothold, and they have always despised us and looked down on us, so we will give him a hard blow tonight and suppress their momentum."

Seeing that Zhao Zilong was silent, Wang Zhong said again.

"Good!" Zhao Zilong immediately nodded vigorously and responded: "Brother Wang, count me in your activities tonight." ”

Towards the end of the evening, the military commander Xu Qiang said goodbye to Wang Zhong, saying that he would go back to report, so he left this position.

"What? Now that the big war is coming, do you want to escape? Wang Zhong's face changed, his eyes widened, and he scolded angrily.

The other national-army also looked at Xu Qiang with disdain.

Zhao Zilong just glanced at the other party and didn't say anything.

Although he was not familiar with the other party, only through the past two contacts, seeing him and that Li Quan's person, he knew that if the other party said to hold his position with everyone, it would be the sun coming out of the west.

Therefore, Zhao Zilong had a bad impression of the military commander in his heart.

"What does it mean to flee from battle? Don't spew blood! That Xu Qiang's face turned red, and he argued forcefully: "I am a military commander, and I have the right to do this." ”

Immediately, he stared at Zhao Zilong, and said to Wang Zhong: "I will truthfully reflect the situation here to the top." ”

After speaking, no matter how Wang Zhong answered, he pulled out the surrounding national army and walked away alone.
