"Smack!! … Syllable!! ……”

In the quiet of the morning, suddenly a messy gunshot rang out.

At this time, before dawn, the sudden sound of gunfire woke up the Chinese soldiers who were still resting, and countless soldiers hurriedly got up, got dressed, and picked up guns to prepare for battle. Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng were also awakened, and after getting up, they directly ordered the soldiers to investigate the movement. Only from this investigation did it become clear that the British had advanced their defensive positions some distance and clashed with the soldiers stationed there.

After washing up and eating breakfast, Qi Zhenhai ordered the soldiers to attack, wanting to break through again.

On this day, the battle was as fierce as yesterday.

Even, Qi Zhenhai sent two brigades of soldiers to attack, but the final result was the same as yesterday, still did not make a breakthrough, but consumed a lot of weapons. At night, when the fighting stopped, Qi Zhenhai asked the personnel in charge of logistics about the remaining ammunition and food. The food left in the army was only three days' food, and there was not much ammunition left, especially since the two-day onslaught consumed a lot of shells and ammunition, and the remaining ammunition could only last three days, which meant that the next time could no longer be used at will.

At this moment, Qi Zhenhai's army is really in trouble.

The armies of various countries are pressing in, but they are getting closer and closer.

At the command post, Qi Zhenhai looked haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot. During the two days of continuous breakthrough, he suffered from insomnia every night, lying on the boat tossing and turning and unable to sleep, so that his spirit was very bad. The same is true for Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng, who are very tired. A deep sense of worry appeared on the faces of the three men, worried about the battle that would ensue.

The guard walked in, with a touch of joy on his face, and said excitedly: "Division commander, I just received news from the president. The president has sent a report to Division Commander Yang Banhou stationed in Guangxi, asking Division Commander Yang Banhou to lead troops to the rescue. At the same time, the president has already arrived in person with the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion. ”

Qi Zhenhai nodded and motioned for the guards to leave.

He sighed lightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It was a good thing for Li Zhen and Yang Banhou to bring troops to the rescue, but he couldn't be happy in his heart.

Liu Jintang blinked, and suddenly said, "Senior Qi, perhaps, this is an opportunity." ”

"Opportunity?"

Qi Zhenhai suddenly became interested and asked, "Has Brigade Commander Liu thought of a way to break through?" ”

From the bottom of his heart, Qi Zhenhai still wants to break through.

Liu Jintang shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no way to break through, but there is a chance to win the foreigners." ”

Qi Zhenhai smiled, who can break through in this situation? A touch of embarrassment appeared on Qi Zhenhai's face, and he quickly regained his composure and continued: "How does Brigade Commander Liu plan to take down the foreigners? ”

Liu Jintang said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the armies of all countries are desperate to defeat us before they can take their troops north into Guangdong. The longer we hold out in Jardine's Hill, the longer the coalition forces will stay in Hong Kong. I mean, we now use ourselves as bait to attract foreigners, to keep our armies here. After the arrival of the president's army, he can take advantage of the situation to surround the armies of various countries, annihilate all the foreign soldiers in one fell swoop, and pacify Hong Kong. ”

Chen Yucheng's eyes lit up, and then he said: "Although the method is good, can you stick to it?" ”

Liu Jintang said: "If you can't hold on, you have to persevere." ”

Qi Zhenhai echoed and said: "Brigade Commander Liu is reasonable, no matter what happens now, you must persevere. Tomorrow it will stop attacking and it will become defensive. In addition, we took the initiative to retreat to Jardine's Hill, taking advantage of the terrain of Jardine's Hills. As for the period of holding on, it is necessary to be careful and wait until the great president arrives. When the time comes, they will attack from inside and outside, and destroy the armies of various countries in one fell swoop. ”

After a pause, Qi Zhenhai ordered: "Guard, please ask the person in charge of the logistics department to come." ”

The guards went to deliver the message, and soon, the person in charge of logistics came. The person in charge of logistics was named Yang Guan, who was short and stocky, and his chubby face had a deep sense of worry.

Qi Zhenhai ordered: "Starting tomorrow, the food will be halved every day." We still have three days of food left, which can be halved to support six days. These six days of defense were enough to support the president to bring troops to the rescue. ”

Yang Guan shook his body and said in surprise: "Division commander, is the president here with troops?" ”

Qi Zhenhai nodded and replied, "Yesterday I already asked the president for help, and I just received a reply from the president. The president has ordered the commander of the Yang Banhou division stationed in Guangxi to bring troops to the rescue, and at the same time, the president has also personally rushed to Hong Kong with the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion. As long as we can hold out for six days, that's enough to hold out until the president arrives. ”

"Great, great."

The worry in Yang Guan's eyes vanished, replaced by excitement.

Li Zhen is coming, and they will be saved. Yang Guan straightened his belly, raised his hand and gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, the division commander, we can persevere, and I will guarantee the food supply for six days." ”

Qi Zhenhai nodded, seeing Yang Guan leaving, thoughtful.

"I have an idea!!"

The three of them spoke in unison, and immediately, the three of them looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces. Qi Zhenhai smiled and said, "Let's write it down and compare it again." ”

The three of them brought pen and paper and wrote down their thoughts.

Qi Zhenhai took the other two blank papers, and after reading them, he nodded and said, "The three of us thought of going together." ”

Liu Jintang was a little excited, and said loudly: "Heroes see the same thing, the three of us are heroes, and our thoughts are naturally the same." The soldiers were most worried that there would be no reinforcements, but now that the president has replied to the letter and personally brought troops to Hong Kong, he can use the prestige of the president to boost morale and give the soldiers a hope. ”

Qi Zhenhai replied with a look of agreement: "Only with the help of the prestige of the president can we stabilize the morale of the army and ensure the combat effectiveness of the army." As long as it is not until the last minute, the soldiers will definitely stay the course, because we all believe in the president. ”

"The prestige of the great president is truly unparalleled."

Chen Yucheng said: "Next, it's time for us to defend. ”

Qi Zhenhai was quite excited in his heart, and immediately sent someone to call the guards, and asked the guards to notify the first brigade commander, the second brigade commander, and the third brigade commander to come to the command post, and inform the three of them of the news that Li Zhen brought the soldiers of the sharp knife battalion and Yang Banhou to the rescue with the army, and let the three of them pass the news layer by layer, as long as the soldiers in the army have hope, they can maintain their combat effectiveness.

The news of Li Zhen's arrival soon spread throughout the army.

This night, the soldiers were no longer worried, and they all had hope, because they learned that Li Zhen was on his way.

Qi Zhenhai quickly learned of the soldier's reaction and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Qi Zhenhai no longer hesitated, and directly ordered the camp to be pulled out overnight and retreat towards Jardine Mountain. After a night of travel, the army retreated to Jardine's Hill and settled down, and then used the terrain of Jardine's Hill to build fortifications. At this time, the armies of various countries had completed the encirclement, surrounded the Jardine's Mountains, and realized the blockade of the Qizhen Navy.

ps: the fourth shift, call it a day; Speaking of which, I won't change it in the early morning in the future, and I will move it to daytime to avoid everyone staying up late.
