After some discussion, Xu Guoren, Zhang Ruofei, Xu Haodong, and the other five decided to form the Dragon Shadow Assault Team Special Operations Group again. The five of them would take advantage of the night to go out of the city and detour to the rear of the Japanese army to specifically attack the important targets of the Japanese army.
For example, the command center of the Japanese Army, artillery positions, and forward supply bases.
After making up their minds, the five of them began to choose their own equipment. Xu Guoren and Zhang Ruofei each picked two German MP18 submachine guns, several magazines, and grenades seized from the Japanese.
On the other hand, Xu Haodong and Yang Haotian chose to equip themselves with a rifle and grenades. Niu Dagen (also Ding Dali) chose to equip himself with a light machine gun.
Mauser pistols were the standard equipment for the five of them, and each of them was equipped with one. Bayonets and daggers were needless to say.
In addition, Xu Guoren also decided to bring a 60mm mortar in case of emergency.
The mortar was divided into three parts. The barrel, the carriage, and the base were carried by the snipers. Xu Guoren, Zhang Ruofei, and Niu Dagan each carried two additional shells.
At first glance, they seemed to be carrying a lot of equipment, but in fact, this was still far from the weight they had before they transmigrated.
After all, the weight of a Type 10 large-caliber sniper rifle and the required ammunition was much heavier than a medium-caliber rifle.
When the equipment was ready, Xu Guoren and the others arrived at the command center of the Zhongrui Regiment at around 11 pm and bid farewell to Yao Ziqing and the others.
"Officer Yao, the country is in danger. The five of us are determined to go out of the city at night to kill the enemy. If we can't return, please take care of my brother Xu Gensheng! Xu Guoren saluted Yao Ziqing with a solemn expression.
Xu Gensheng saw this and choked,"Brother Ren, I want to go too."
Xu Guoren stepped in front of him and pressed his hands on his shoulders."Gensheng, if we don't come back before dawn, you must stay alive and take care of your father and sister-in-law for me, do you hear me?”
Xu Gensheng could not help but cry out loud. He could only nod reluctantly.
"Don't cry. The men of the Xu family only have heroes who die for the country. There are no cowards who are afraid of death. Don't cry!”Xu Guoren said seriously.
Yao Ziqing was deeply affected and stepped forward. He said righteously,"Well said. Brother Xu is indeed a national hero. Tonight, you are not afraid of danger and took the initiative to attack. You are the role model of our soldiers. Don't worry. If you are unfortunate enough to sacrifice your lives for the country, Yao Ziqing and the entire regiment will fight the Japanese until the last soldier is left! Kill more devils to avenge you! He would never take a step back!
If we die, we will die together. In short, we will die together and face the national disaster together!”
Wang Hai took the initiative to step forward and said,"Guoren, count me in. I'll go with you!"”
"Brother Wang, our Central Elite Regiment needs you, and Baoshan City needs you even more, so the five of us will go!" Xu Guoren politely declined.”
After bidding farewell to everyone, Xu Guoren and the other five left.
Soon, they disappeared into the night.
In the command center of the Third Battle Area, Chen Cheng was still awake. The war was getting worse day by day, making him unable to sleep or eat.
"Brother Luo, how long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?”At this moment, Chen Cheng was very concerned about the Middle Elite Regiment that was trapped in Baoshan City alone. From the nature of soldiers and national sentiments, Chen Cheng and Chairman Jiang absolutely did not want Xu Guoren and his heroic troops to fall in Baoshan City.
However, the current situation was critical and they could not let the Middle Elite group retreat.
Therefore, Chen Cheng was very anxious at this moment.
"Although some of them have arrived today, it will take at least two more days for all the reinforcements to arrive." Luo Zhuoying, the deputy commander of the 15th Army, frowned.
"That means that Xu Guoren's Elite Regiment will have to hold on for at least two more days?”"Brother Luo, do you think they can last that long?" Chen Cheng asked guiltily.”
"This humble official is not sure. The Japanese army has mobilized a full field division to besiege Xu Guoren and the others! Moreover, Baoshan was within the firing range of the enemy's naval cannons and ship-borne aircraft. The defenders had no advantage. The only thing they could rely on was their passion to serve the country!"In other words, even if they can create a miracle and hold on for more than three days, how much strength can they have to break through?"”
"Sigh! They only hate us for being powerless and not being able to provide them with any support. They can only watch as they sacrifice themselves for the country and are eaten up by the enemy bit by bit?”Chen Cheng slapped the table in frustration.
Luo Zhuoying was also a little sad. He consoled her,"Sir, the country is facing a great disaster. There are some things that we can't do anything about! On the Songhu battlefield, countless loyal souls died every day. The blood of the soldiers almost dyed the Huangpu River red! What we can do is to be strong and united, to fight against a common enemy, and to make the invaders pay the price of blood for every step they take!”
After a long time, Chen Cheng collected his emotions and became excited again. His eyes were filled with determination as he said to Luo Zhuoying,"Brother Luo, what you said makes sense. Send a message to the Central Elite Regiment and ask about the situation. Also, express your condolences to them in the name of the Third Battle Area's commander. I hope they can continue to work hard and defend for another two days. After two days, I will send reinforcements to help them break out!”
Luo Zhuoying instructed his adjutant to do as he was told. Just as he finished making the arrangements, a signalman rushed in from outside and saluted Luo Zhuoying and Chen Cheng."Two officers, the enemy launched a counterattack at night. Our Luodian garrison tried their best to stop them, but in the end, due to excessive casualties, we were forced to retreat.”
Luodian's geographical location was self-evident. If they failed, the entire Pu Dong would be defenseless.
Therefore, before this, Luo Zhuoying's 15th Army had repeatedly fought with the Japanese army for Luodian. The Luodian battlefield had become a famous meat grinder in the Battle of Shanghai.
When Luo Zhuoying heard that Luodian had fallen again, his expression changed. Coincidentally, Huang Wei, the commander of the 51st division of the Central Army, had been recalled from Dé Country in advance. He rushed to the commander's office of the 3rd Battle Area to request to join the battle.
Huang Wei was a first-year student of Huangpu and was the beloved disciple of Generalissimo Jiang. He was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and he brought along the appointment of Generalissimo Jiang.
At this moment, he was appointed as the lieutenant general of the 67th division of the National Revolutionary Army.
"Wuwo, you came at the right time. Luo Dian has once again been occupied by the enemy. Now, I order you to immediately lead the 67th division to take it back!”When Luo Zhuoying saw Huang Wei arrive in time with the appointment, it was as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
Among the elite trump card troops of the 15th Army, the 11th Division that Chen Cheng relied on and the 98th Division of Xia Chuzhong had suffered heavy casualties due to the bloody battle with the Japanese army for a long time, and their strength was greatly reduced.
Now that Huang Wei had returned, the 67th Division had a suitable commander. It was time for them to go up!
Huang Wei, who was dressed in military uniform, immediately stood up and accepted the order."Yes, please rest assured, I promise to complete the mission and take back Luo Dian!”
After saying that, Huang Wei turned around and left the commanding officer's headquarters.
On the side of Baoshan City, Xu Guoren and the other five changed into Japanese military uniforms and carried their equipment quietly through the Urban area occupied by the Japanese army, successfully leaving the city.
The five of them discussed and decided to head east.
During the daytime battle, they discovered that the Japanese heavy artillery was coming from the east of the city, and a considerable portion of them were not fired by naval cannons.
This meant that the east side of the city was likely to be hiding a strategic force like the Japanese Army Heavy Artillery Brigade.
If they could destroy it, it would be a huge blow to the devils.
Therefore, Xu Guoren and the others chose the east of the city as their first target for this sneak attack.
