This team of people and horses going east is Zhang Zhonglin and his third battalion, Wu Xiaoliang when he proposed Wusong Fortress, he did not hesitate to ask for this errand, even if he knew that this was more than auspicious and less auspicious, in his heart more or less there was a kind of unclear feelings that even he himself could not explain, Zhang Zhonglin understood that after the fall of Shanghai, although a division of the Japanese army was annihilated, and in the comparison of the consumption of strength, the squadron still seems to have a little advantage, but this is all an illusion, As long as the Japanese army freed up its hands and forcefully inserted into the intricate Taicang front, even if the squadron was as strong as Wu Xiaoliang's Shandong army, it would not be able to resist.

Wu Xiaoliang sent Zhang Zhonglin not to make him a lone army, because the connection with Wusongkou has been broken, so his third battalion is just to make a front stop, once they arrive at Wusong Fortress and contact with the garrison, the headquarters will immediately send reinforcements, even if they risk great risks and losses, they have to pass through the Japanese blockade line, and they can't let Wusong Fortress be lost.

From the northwest of Taicang to Wusongkou is almost a flat river, and it has to pass through several Japanese blockade lines, in order to reduce the target for the sake of safety, Zhang Zhonglin divided the third battalion into three columns, staggered forward and backward, he himself led one of the teams to go to the sea 6 villages, Shengqiao Town line.

Under the cover of night, they almost collided head-on with the patrolling Japanese squad several times along the way, but fortunately, the scouts released in advance appeared in time to avoid the unfavorable situation of being revealed, and after crossing the reeds and low bushes by the river, there was a paddy field that could not be seen, and under the cover of the night, I don't know how many unknown dangers were hidden ahead.

Looking at the black hole in front of him, Zhang Zhonglin frowned, hesitated, and finally led the team into the vast paddy field, this time he was gambling, he bet that he would not meet the Japanese patrol through this paddy field, it was past midnight, even most of the Japanese army should have rested, he urged the big guy in a low voice:

"Pay attention to your guns, don't misfire, speed up, and it's safe to cross this paddy field to the high ground in front."

Not only Zhang Zhonglin, but the subordinates of the third battalion were more nervous than him, listening to the words of the battalion commander, the waist cat was lower, and the strength under his feet increased, and there seemed to be a fire flashing in the distance, and everyone's hearts were almost in their throats.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire loomed from a distance, and everyone was nervous, and the soldiers' hands couldn't help but grasp the guns tighter.

"There is a situation."

Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

Zhang Zhonglin squinted and looked south, flickering in the night sky far away, it seemed that he was on fire, and he didn't know if it was the second team or the third team.

Some soldiers were anxious, "Battalion commander, let's hurry up and reinforce it, I'm afraid that my brothers won't be able to support it when it's late." ”

"Yes, battalion commander, just waiting for your words......"

The reason why the third battalion was divided into three teams and went separately was because they thought that they might encounter the Japanese army on the road, and once they were entangled, the possibility of getting out was extremely low, if there was no mission given to him by Wu Xiaoliang, Zhang Zhonglin would not hesitate to rush up and relieve the siege for his comrades, but unfortunately he couldn't, in order to complete the already arduous task, he had to do a little bit of a stand by.

"Everyone be quiet, don't make noise, don't expose yourself, goal, unnamed heights ahead, plus forward."

The big guy was surprised that the battalion commander's order had to be carried out, and seeing the frequency of the flickering fires in the distance getting higher and higher, needless to say, everyone knew that this was the most intense moment of the firefight, and suddenly the scout at the front ran back quickly, and shouted sharply:

"Get down, get down."

The soldier at the front immediately fell down on the spot as agreed, and at the same time shouted behind him:

"Get down ......"

The soldiers in the darkness were like fallen wheat waves, lying down in the rice fields full of water, and Zhang Zhonglin was also among them.

"What's going on?"

He asked, lowering his voice.

The Scout crawled up to him and whispered:

"There is a small group of Japanese patrols in front, but fortunately the night is dark and there is an exchange of fire in the south, otherwise we would have been exposed."

Before the words fell, the shadow was full of shadows, and I saw a group of Japanese soldiers with torches rushing south less than a mile ahead, not yet the sound of chirping and shouting, Zhang Zhonglin looked at the flickering sky in the south, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and waited for about five minutes, and waited for those people to walk away before getting up, he was already sticky and covered with mud, and the wolf was unbearable, but at this time, he had no heart to care about it.

"Hurry up and keep going."

"Smack."

The soldiers had just gotten up and walked forward, when they heard a crisp gunshot from ahead, which was particularly piercing in the night, which had already returned to silence.

Zhang Zhonglin was stunned, did he still not dodge, was he exposed, in an instant, several thoughts had flashed in his mind, but after a gunshot, there was no follow-up, and the paddy field once again regained its calm.

"What's going on?"

This time, he did not lie down, but led the people to the place where the shooting was lived, only to see the body of a Japanese soldier lying in the paddy field, and a soldier clutching a brand-new Mauser rifle in the dark, unable to see whether he was nervous or afraid.

A soldier with a clear speech hurriedly reported to Zhang Zhonglin:

"This guy is probably unraveling his big hand, he fell behind, and hit the front of Li Dawa in one fell swoop, this kid is really not ambiguous, and he collapsed with one shot."

It turned out to be a false alarm, and Zhang Zhonglin patted the soldier named Li Dawa twice on the shoulder and said, "Good job."

With another wave of his hand, "Keep going." ”

No one knew that at this moment, the cold sweat on his back was already soaked even with his military uniform, and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to his body.

At this time, the gunfire in the south also changed from dense to sparse, and the light of the flashing gunfire gradually dimmed, Zhang Zhonglin's eyes dimmed for a while, were they out of the trap, or had they been wiped out.

The sky is getting brighter, the east has been white, the sun is still on the horizon before it rises, the heights of Wusong Fort are already faintly in sight, Zhang Zhonglin breathed a sigh of relief, although there were dangers along the way, but finally the task was initially completed, and the victory arrived at Wusongkou, not disappointing the expectations of Chief Wu.

Suddenly, a scout pointed to another nameless high ground outside the Wusong Fortress.

"There are a lot of people there."

Zhang Zhonglin looked in the direction of his finger, and there were indeed many people in Japanese military uniforms gathered in a pile, but they couldn't see it from too far away, he raised the binoculars, and was surprised when he saw it.
