The battle in the direction of Baoshan lasted a whole afternoon, and the rumbling of artillery was like an explosion in the valley, and the rumbling sound was non-stop.

The 18th Brigade, which was staying near the Sitang River, remained still.

After two days of rest, Xia Yuan's state basically returned to his peak state, listening to the faint rumbling sound from the far away direction, it didn't sound real, he came to the position of the dark sentry, looked at the Japanese position again, and found that the Japanese army's strength seemed to have strengthened.

After the landing at Wusong, the 34th and 12th Wings of the Japanese Army were divided into two units to reinforce the 68th and 18th Wings of the Japanese Army, respectively.

The strengthened Japanese army already had a certain advantage in numbers, and the largest combat unit of the Japanese army in a single branch of the army usually had a strength of 2,500-3,800 men.

The wings of the Japanese army are generally regarded as regimental units.

The two wings entered the defense line of the Sitang River on the opposite bank of the 18th Brigade, and the strength of the Japanese army suddenly increased to five or six thousand men, and with the addition of aircraft, artillery, and even tanks, the Japanese firepower was strengthened as never before.

At this time, the Japanese army had already invested four wings in the Wusong direction, and the first squadron of the fifth tank brigade and the third cavalry wing of the Japanese army also arrived at the front line.

The strength of the Nationalist army is still not much different from that when the Japanese landed, only the 6th Division of the Nationalist Army defended on the periphery of Baoshan, and the situation of the 6th Division was not good, the 33rd Regiment experienced several battles and suffered heavy casualties, and the 31st Regiment was directly reduced to a battalion. The 710th Regiment was staring at the highway bridge, and the Yao Ziqing Battalion of the 98th Division was stationed in Baoshan City.

Strength and firepower are completely out of proportion.

Observing the situation on the other side from this side, Xia Yuan couldn't see how much the Japanese army's strength had increased, so he told the soldiers on the night vigil not to doze off, and came to Lu Jingguang's resting place non-stop.

Lu Jingguang hasn't slept yet, although he has settled down in the past few days, Lu Jingguang is restless, and he always feels that something is going to happen.

His restlessness confirmed that the Japanese army rested, but not just a temporary rest, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, taking Baoshan is the next battle plan of the Japanese army, at this time the 11th Division Asama detachment has arrived on the north side of Baoshan, the third division and the 11th division converge, will completely gain a firm foothold, has a huge impact on the direction of the entire Songhu battlefield.

Xia Yuan brought back a not-so-good news.

"The Japanese army has strengthened the defensive forces on the other side, and it is estimated that their reinforcements have arrived."

"That's not good news." Xia Yuan's words confirmed his uneasiness, and Lu Jingguang said: "The reinforcements of the Japanese devils have arrived, maybe they are about to attack us, no, I have to go to the battalion headquarters." ”

Lu Jingguang couldn't sit still, he hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll leave this side to you first." ”

Seeing Lu Jingguang leave in a hurry, Zhao Shiguo, who walked in, scratched his head: "Deputy Company Commander, what's wrong with Company Commander Lu?" ”

"Reinforcements from the Japanese devils have arrived, just wait, the sky is about to change." Xia Yuan took a long breath, and his heart moved, should he take advantage of tonight to do something, "Lao Zhao, call a few of our old acquaintances over." ”

"Oh."

The old acquaintances in Xia Yuan's mouth all escaped from Luodian together.

After a while, the scholar, Zheng Dayong, Lao Lei and Xiao Liu arrived, the scholar was bulging in his arms, holding a grenadier, since he learned to use the grenadier, his position in the company rose rubbingly, Dayong also carried the Czech style, this Czech style or with Lu Company Commander exchanged, after joining the third company, the Czech style has always been in his hands, has not been lost, Lao Lei and Xiao Liu are relatively simple, with a rifle on their backs, a bayonet straddled their waists, the grenade belt on their waists has dried up, and the grenades have long been lost.

"Brother Yuan, what are you looking for us to do, do you have a task?" The scholar walked in and asked.

"I guessed it accurately, and I really have a task." Xia Yuan nodded, his eyes fell on Lao Lei and Xiao Liu: "How's the rest?" ”

Xiaoliu said: "Brother Yuan, okay, it's rare for a few of us to follow you to fight the Japanese devils." ”

"That'll do." Xia Yuan looked at Dayong standing outside, and said, "What are you doing in a daze, come in, I'll tell you about the next task arrangement." ”

"What's the task? Brother Yuan, are we going to sneak attack the little devils? Zheng Dayong walked in, sat on the ground, and said eagerly.

"Guess right, the little Japanese devil's reinforcements have arrived, we can't just watch them just prepare to fight us, and a few of you will follow me later, let's go and attack the little Japanese devil."

Xia Yuan took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one himself, and threw the rest to Zheng Dayong, motioned for him to distribute it to everyone, and then said: "There is no goal, you can kill as many small Japan as you can." Will you come with me? ”

"Brother Yuan, we'll fight with you." Zhao Shiguo immediately said: "The little Japanese devil reinforcements have arrived, and they will definitely not let us go, but we can't let the Japanese devils spend tonight in peace." ”

Everyone also expressed their positions.

Without Xia Yuan, they are all people who have died once, this life is given by Xia Yuan, it's not a big deal, isn't it just to die again.

After a while, Lu Jingguang came back worried, saw a lot of people gathered in the house, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Company commander, you came just in time, what did the battalion commander say?" Xia Yuan didn't take them into action immediately, he still retained the idea of obeying orders in his subconscious, and he always had to tell Lu Jingguang that if he really fought, he would have to be prepared here.

"What else can I say, we can only watch this little person." Lu Jingguang's Guozi face showed a little annoyance, raised his head and looked at the people in the room, all of whom were Xia Yuan's old acquaintances, and asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”

"Sneak attack on the Japanese devil's position, the Japanese devil's reinforcements have arrived, we can't watch their reinforcements arrive."

"This person wants to sneak attack the Japanese devil position?" Lu Jingguang's eyes widened, and he said: "No, how can this work, now that the reinforcements of the Japanese devils have just arrived, you are going to sneak attack, didn't you hit someone's gun?" ”

"Lao Lu, it's not exactly that I really want to fight with the Japanese devils, I'll take them to touch it and take a look, and by the way, let's see if I can get the Japanese devils' mortars, our grenadiers have a short range and limited power, and the most important thing is that there are not enough shells."

Xia Yuan pulled him to sit on the ground, and said earnestly: "If you can get cannonballs, the scholar's grenadier will not become an iron frame, if you really get a mortar, the firepower of the Japanese devils will not pose much of a threat to us." ”

"That's not good, you're just this little person, it's really over, and you've been discovered by the Japanese devils, we want to help, but we can't help much." Lu Jingguang was moved by what Xia Yuan said, but shook his head again: "No, no, absolutely not, you can't go tonight." ”

"Lao Lu, don't worry, don't forget how I took them out of Luodian in the first place, if I really want to be discovered by the Japanese devils, you see if it is us or the little Japanese devils who should be worried."

Lu Jingguang didn't know what to say, and was silent for a long time.

Xia Yuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to go first, and he would arrive later, and when all the people in the room were gone, he said: "The weapons and equipment of the little Japanese devil are better than ours, and any deduction is enough for us." ”

Killing Japanese devils, engaging in supplies, and continuing the same set on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he found that he was very good at making supplies, and he would not come back empty-handed.

This time, he aimed at the mortars of the Japanese devils.

"We can be blown up by the mortar of the Japanese devils, so we have to give them something, the little Japanese devils are very quiet at night, we are also very quiet, they thought we would not fight them, but we just went, and hit them by surprise."

Xia Yuan said to him: "The Japanese devil reinforcements have arrived, and we will suffer, so prepare in advance." Don't worry, I won't fight the Japanese devils, if I really want to fight, I will avoid it, okay, Lao Lu, you can rest assured. ”

Old Lu Guozi's face was solemn, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Then you promise me to come back alive." ”

Lu Jingguang was persuaded by Xia Yuan, he really didn't do anything, and watched the Japanese devil reinforcements arrive, that is pride, even if the Japanese devil's reinforcements arrived, it was better to find something to do than to do nothing.

He also wanted to follow in his heart, Xia Yuan was very suitable for this, at least for now, he could always bring him new shock, but someone in the company needed to watch.

Seeing Xia Yuan leave, Lu Jingguang sighed, I really don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing to let him go.

That night, Xia Yuan took them to quietly jump into the river from the river where there were fewer Japanese devils, and the sky in September had gradually turned cooler, and the river was a little cold, jumping into the river, and everyone shivered.

"Don't make a sound, and when you go ashore, be quiet."

The river gurgled and flowed, and the sound of the stones was loud, and the sound of the river flowing that night was very small, and the sound of the noise was very slight, and under the gaze of Lu Jingguang, several people swam to the opposite bank from a relatively spacious position.

Gradually, the figures of several people disappeared into the twilight, and nothing could be seen.

"Take someone, keep an eye on the other side of the river, if there is a situation, tell me immediately." Lu Jingguang retracted his gaze and admonished the platoon leader behind him.

"Yes."

In the river, the water is cold, and at night, the temperature drops a lot, and a slight wind blows slowly, blowing the reeds on the bank of the river, the grass of the reeds is very high, close to the pure mud, stepping on it can sink into the knee position, it is difficult to pull out the legs again.

Lao Zhao has experience, prostrate on the ground, so that his body has a large contact surface with the ground, so that his legs are not easy to sink into.

Everyone also learned Lao Zhao's method and crawled forward.

Xia Yuan walked at the back of the team, vigilantly looking at the direction of the reeds, the tall and dense reeds became a cover to cover them, and it was difficult for the Japanese devils to find them in the reeds.

The reed is one person tall, the growth is crazy, a little scary, the root is rooted, people can't push it away, you have to step on it with your feet, you have to be careful, the ghost knows where the Japanese devil's secret post is hidden, and it is possible to pick up a reed, and you can see a person lying on his stomach in the grass, with a shiny helmet.

In short, Zhao Shiguo acted as a striker, and walked very carefully, after Xia Yuan broke off, his eyes constantly scanned the surrounding terrain, imprinting all the surrounding situations in his mind, and suddenly noticed that there was a strange noise in front of him, retracted his gaze, took a closer look, and was immediately shocked.

Zhao Shiguo and the Japanese devil's secret post touched, this secret whistle was hidden in the reeds, blocked by the dense reeds, and also blocked his vision, the little Japanese devil was lying in the grass, diagonally in the direction, staring at the three positions in the distance, turning sideways against the river, and not noticing that the reeds would be touched by the people of the national army.

confirmed, Zhao Shiguo opened the grass and saw a person under his feet, the dim moonlight, the helmet shiny, a short stunned, the Japanese devil also noticed Zhao Shiguo, staring at the small with big eyes, very puzzled:

"Nani?"

"Fuck you, Jap!"

Lao Lei was quick-eyed, holding a gun, with a bayonet on the head of the gun, and pounced, Zhao Shiguo also lost the gun, and lay directly on the Japanese devil, covering the mouth of the Japanese soldier with his big hand, Xiao Liu pressed the hand of the Japanese devil and prevented him from grabbing the trigger of the gun.

The scholar and Zheng Dayong were no longer prostrate on the ground, and hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed towards them.

Poof, the sound of a bayonet inserting into the flesh sounded, and with a muffled snort, Zhao Shiguo felt the Japanese devil under him struggle violently, accompanied by a whimper.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's good to die, cast a good tire in the next life, invest as far as you can, don't come to China."

The skin and flesh on Zhao Shiguo's face were tight, and he strangled his palms stiffly, not relaxing for a moment.

Lao Lei turned the bayonet hard, pulled it out, and stabbed it at the Japanese devil's body again, this knife was firmly pierced into the Japanese devil's body, and the latter's body couldn't stop trembling, and soon there was no sign of struggle.

Zhao Shiguo let go of the corpse of the Japanese devil, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and scolded: "I'm scared to death, I saw a person lying here when I opened the grass." ”

"Clean up, let's go."

Xia Yuan leaned over, glanced at the corpses on the ground, nodded to a few people, and walked out of the grass.

Far away from the reeds, it is a swamp and shrubs, the green hair is very deep, the blades of grass are hand-in-hand, the Japanese devils arrange a secret whistle here, but it is really cunning enough, and thanks to the old Zhao people are lucky, they will see the Japanese devil when they open the grass, if they don't see the Japanese devil, they will definitely be discovered by this Japanese devil.

Once the shots were fired, the plan for tonight's sneak attack would have failed.

After collecting the guns and ammunition from the Japanese devils, he didn't even let go of the marching kettle, and followed Xia Yuan out of the reeds, got into the grass, stepped on the wet mud, and felt soaked, feeling uncomfortable, everyone endured it, tightened their mouths, and didn't say anything.
