It was already more than three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Linghu took everyone to the Catholic Church, which is relatively close to Zhonghongqiao, and can clearly hear the sound of guns and cannons from the southeast.

Under the leadership of Liu Jingang, the group carried the bodies of Xiao Yang and Dahan to the nearby morgue, where there were many ** soldiers who died in battle, and their bodies were brought over by their comrades and placed here. Two old monks who volunteered to come over to help were knocking on the wooden fish and chanting the sutra. There is also a mute who can't speak, who is in charge of sorting out these unsung heroes.

After dawn, there will be cars coming from the division headquarters to transport the bodies of these ** soldiers.

Although the beginning of autumn has passed, this kind of weather is still relatively hot during the day, and the corpse will smell after a little longer.

Watching Liu Jingang carefully clean up the sludge on Xiao Yang and Da Han's faces, everyone's hearts were very uncomfortable, and they stood silently to the side and watched, it was a young master like Meng Fanwei, although he didn't have much affection for these two people, he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.

However, Zhang Shun's performance made Xiao Linghu a little surprised, this half-old child still looked indifferent, standing far behind, not looking at the people in the field, but sitting at the door of the morgue, I don't know where to pick up a rag, and was wiping the gun in his hand wholeheartedly.

"Where will they be buried?" Lin couldn't help but ask, in his heart, there has always been a pimple that he can't forget, that is, when his brother Ah Peng died, he didn't even get Ah Peng's body.

Xiao Linghu let out a long breath and shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

Huang Mao was also buried in the bamboo forest of Tianhou Temple near Sanmin Hospital, which was a tomb he chose after taking Meng Fanwei to personally inspect the terrain.

However, these nameless cannon fodder can't have such a good chance, they will definitely be uniformly loaded into the car, and then transported to an unknown place in the wilderness, where they won't even burn, at most each person will wrap a bamboo mat and dig a pit and bury it.

Liu Jingang said that he had also done this kind of work, and if it was buried shallowly, it would be gouged out and eaten by wild dogs; Therefore, every corpse has a requirement in the division, and it must be dug up to a depth of two meters. But in the Jiangnan area, if you dig deeper, water will come out of the ground. Once the water is dug up, it has to be dug again.

Digging a pit for burying the corpses of colleagues is also a tragic thing.

Hearing Xiao Linghu's answer, Lin Jinghan suddenly felt a little relieved, and he thought of Ah Peng again, these soldiers who had died were actually as miserable as Ah Peng.

*********************

When all this was dealt with, it was already dawn, listening to the guns in the east still ringing out, this night's battle was far from stopping, and the devils also knew that this time was a matter of their life and death, and they were desperately resisting.

The fighting near Zhonghongqiao was apparently over, as there was not a single single gunshot.

Think about the battle of Hongqiao of the 88th Division, it was really bad, just two Hongqiao, blocking them for three days, I don't know if I can complete the task assigned by the commander's department tonight and take the devil's Huishan Wharf?

Xiao Linghu thought wildly, and walked into the regimental headquarters of the 263rd Regiment with everyone, where they met Staff Officer Yu.

"Lao Yu, can you get something to eat?" Liu Jingang asked him.

Staff Officer Yu nodded, and ordered someone to immediately go to the kitchen of the church and order a bowl of noodles for one of them, and several people were not polite, one person was holding a bowl, even Shunzi also held a big bowl, and devoured it.

Xiao Linghu was the first to finish eating, and he had to drink the noodle soup together, but he didn't feel full, seeing that everyone ate with relish, he was embarrassed to ask for it again. Fortunately, with this bowl of noodles at the bottom, he felt much more comfortable. Only then did he set his eyes on the entire regiment headquarters, and did not see the figure of the regiment commander Zhang Cheng, so he couldn't help asking: "Staff Officer Yu, why hasn't Regiment Commander Zhang come back yet?" ”

Staff Officer Yu said: "The division is urging tightly, and Commander Zhang can't sit still here, so let's go to the front line and see what is going on!" ”

"What? Your regiment's attack was thwarted again? "Xiao Linghu is a little strange, he has also been to the Huishan wharf, and has explained all the situation to the current division commander Sun Yuan, if the 263rd Regiment attacks and advances eastward along the wharf by the Huangpu River, at most it can only be harassed by the secret posts hidden by the devils in an unknown place, but after all, there are only two or three people in those secret posts, and it is okay to deal with a few death squads, but if it is against a formed squad platoon, it will definitely not work.

As long as the devils on the docks are killed, then the 263rd Regiment can go straight to the west entrance of Huishan Wharf, where there may be a tough battle, because there is a bunker built by devils in that place, which is guarding the west entrance of Huishan Wharf.

The only thing that could affect the progress of the 263rd Regiment was the two warships moored on the dock of Devil's Mountain.

"Yes!" Staff Officer Yu replied a little helplessly: "We have advanced to Taoyuan along Dongdaming Road!" ”

"Well, it's going fast?" Xiao Linghu praised, obviously, Zhang Cheng did not arrange the 263rd Regiment to advance east along the wharf along the river, but along the Dongdaming Road to the west, Taoyuanli, it is a junction of Dongdaming Road leading to Huishan Wharf, from there to the south, is the gate of Huishan Wharf, through a wide passage, you can enter the Huishan Wharf.

Dongdaming Road, which also starts from here, is known as Yangshupu Road to the east.

It's just that when Xiao Linghu said this, he suddenly thought of something, the night before, when he and Lin Jinghan and others went to blow up the devil's ammunition depot, they were very close to the exit of Huishan Wharf, and they also had some understanding of the terrain there, and when he reported to Sun Yuan, he judged that there could not be no fortifications built by devils.

Huishan Wharf is a wharf that the Japanese focus on operating in Shanghai, if this wharf is lost, then the Japanese successor reinforcements, and the supply of materials, will definitely not be able to dock, after all, although there are many wharves on the Huangpu River, but there are not many large ships that can really berth. The dock here must also be protected by the devil.

Think about it, their battle on the Hongqiao side was so fierce that the Japanese did not send reinforcements to Hongqiao, one of which shows that the devil's strength is indeed limited and overstretched; Second, it shows that the devils still focus on their core.

Huishan Pier is the core part of the devil.

"Progress is fast!" Staff Officer Yu said: "It's just that maybe the progress is too fast, so everyone is a little carried away by the upcoming victory, so no one notices that the devil will build a dark fort on the way to the dock!" ”

"Bunker?" Xiao Linghu's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he vaguely remembered that he had reminded his teacher Sun Yuan to wake up.

"Yes!" Staff Officer Yu sighed and said, "We were caught off guard, and many of our comrades who rushed in failed to come back!" ”

He said it very tactfully, but he was reluctant to mention words such as "death" or "sacrifice", which was very different from Zhang Cheng's coolness.

"Didn't your division commander remind your regiment that there might be a devil's hidden fortress there?" Xiao Linghu couldn't help asking.

Staff Officer Yu shook his head: "If the division headquarters reminds us, will we still not pay attention?" ”

"Murder! This is murder! Xiao Linghu shouted angrily.
