This time, because there was no pursuit of the little devil behind them, the brothers of the new battalion did not run for their lives, but they did not dare to slack off.

After a three-hour journey, the brothers of the new battalion successfully arrived at Baohua Township, more than 40 miles west of Qiaotou Township.

Bury the pot to cook and set up camp.

This place is less than 100 miles away from the original national capital Nanjing, and Yang Yun has already received an order from Wang Yaowu to set up a defensive line here to block the little devil's westward advance.

In fact, not only Yang Yun's new battalion, but almost everywhere within a hundred miles outside Nanjing, defense lines were set up.

Country. The army has made the final preparations, and wants to have a duel with the little devils outside its own capital city of Nanjing.

As a person in the future, Yang Yun already knew the outcome of this battle.

But as a current soldier, especially an officer, even if he dies, he has no choice but to fight!

Baohua Township, the strategic position is very important, from the land, is the only place to pass through Zhenjiang to Nanjing.

And the waterway is also the only place to go to Nanjing.

Now, Yang Yun no longer has the strong financial resources he had when he was in Zhenjiang, and he organized another shipwreck plan.

And the previous shipwreck array, if Yang Yun's estimate was correct, it was almost impossible to completely block the westward advance of the little devil warship.

At most, it's just a slow down of them.

In fact, it took less than two days for the little devil to clear the waterway.

At this moment, the little devil's warship is already on the way west, but Yang Yun doesn't know it yet.

Yang Yun knew the importance of Baohua Township, and he also knew that the little devil would inevitably carry out the harshest military attack here.

Therefore, it is necessary for him to make some preparations, not only to guard against the little devils on land, but also to guard against the little devil warships in the Yangtze River waterway.

There are many ways to guard against the little devils on land, and if you want to guard against the little devil warships in the Yangtze River waterway, there is only one way.

Build a battery and strike with artillery fire.

Otherwise, if you want to use crowd tactics or manpower to defend, it is simply nonsense.

Besides, the new battalion at the moment simply does not have that much manpower.

When it is full, its members are only 500.

However, thankfully, their new battalion already had several mountain guns, and yesterday they captured a few more from the hands of the little devils.

At the moment, there are more than a dozen of them, although there are not too many shells, but they are not too few, as long as the warships of the little devils are not too many, it is still enough to maintain a skirmish.

And these mountain cannons were placed by Yang Yun's place in the north of Baohua Township, on the bluestone mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

On the other hand, Yang Yun was also in full swing arranging the defense line on the land.

Digging trenches, loading sandbags, laying mines, setting up barricades, there are many of the same.

In this way, the day passed busy and peacefully......

"Camp! Camp! ”

Early the next morning, Yang Yun was studying the map in the temporary headquarters of Baohua Township, when he suddenly heard a fiery sound coming from outside, and as the sound got closer and closer, a figure also appeared outside the gate of the headquarters.

When I looked up, the person who came was none other than the hemp pole known as the scout of the new battalion.

Seeing the fiery look on Ma Zhu's face, Yang Yun's brows suddenly wrinkled, because he thought it was the little devil who came again, after all, Ma Zhu was doing this.

But before he could open his mouth to ask, a somewhat familiar voice came from the door: "Brother Yun! Brother Yun! ”

Yang Yun sounded so familiar with this voice, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

This is definitely not the voice of the brothers of the new battalion, because in the entire new battalion, except for the iron pillar who called him "Brother Yun", the rest of the people all called him "camp seat".

And this voice is clearly not an iron pillar, and besides, the iron pillar will not appear here at this moment.

Just when Yang Yun was puzzled, the owner of this voice finally appeared at the door of the headquarters.

This is a little boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in tattered clothes, and his immature little face is also very embarrassed, and even more haggard.

A pair of eyes that were originally bright were also bloodshot at the moment, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well for at least a few days.

Yang Yun knew him, not only did he know him, but he could even be said to be a family, because he was Li Cuier's younger brother Li Hu.

"Xiaohu, why are you here? What about your sister, is she okay? ”

Yang Yun put down the map in his hand, and rushed to Li Hu's approach with a brisk step.

It's just that it's okay that Yang Yun doesn't ask, this question, Li Hu, who has always been extremely strong, is like a child who has been bullied and wronged when he goes out, and finally sees his parents, and tears can't stop slipping out of his eyes, and they can't stop sliding out of his eyes.

"What's the matter, Xiaohu?"

Seeing this, Yang Yun's heart suddenly ached, because he seemed to have realized something, and hurriedly grabbed Li Hu's shoulders and asked again.

"My sister, my sister...... Woowoo woo ......"

Li Hu is still too young after all, and he is crying like a tearful man at the moment, no matter how anxious Yang Yun is, he can't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Although Yang Yun is very wise on weekdays and can deal with any problem calmly, at this moment, when the situation involves his family and the people he cares about the most.

He is still a mortal after all, after all, he is not exempt from vulgarity, and his heart, which was originally calm, has become turbulent at this moment.

In a hurry, but helpless for a while.

The hemp pole on the side also seemed to realize that the situation was wrong, and did not say anything, but turned around and walked outside.

He didn't choose to retreat, but went to gather his brothers.

"Xiaohu, what's wrong with your sister?"

After waiting for a moment, Yang Yun continued to ask.

"My sister...... My sister ...... My sister was taken away by the little devils. ”

Li Hu met Yang Yun, just like meeting a loved one and meeting the backbone, after a few minutes of catharsis, his mood finally stabilized again, but his eyes were still full of tears.

And his originally haggard face was full of anger at the moment, and his two little fists were also clenched tightly, and he was eager to break those little devils into pieces.

"Huh? What did you say? ”

Hearing Li Hu's words, Yang Yun didn't stand firm, and the whole person directly took a few steps backwards, and then asked uncertainly.

Although, although Yang Yun had already realized something in his heart the moment he saw Li Hu, when he heard this coming out of Li Hu's mouth, he still didn't want to believe it......
