In Xiaotang Village, the smoke of gunpowder had not completely dissipated. Under a ruin, a pair of dirty and bloody hands stretched out hard, and then a series of ruins were pushed up. Zhang Xinghan staggered and stood up, and the ruins and soil on his body fell down.

Just a few minutes after the Zhongrui Camp captured Xiaotang Village, the Japanese revenge artillery fire began. The officers and soldiers of the Zhongrui Camp who were cleaning the battlefield were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties under the Japanese artillery bombardment.

Even Zhang Xinghan himself was almost killed. After standing up, Zhang Xinghan looked around and saw his own soldiers staggering from the ruins one after another.

"Victory, the mountains!" Zhang Xinghan shouted loudly.

"Battleman! I'm here." Under a broken wall, Zhao Desheng slowly stood up, coughing continuously, spitting out mud in his mouth.

"The mountains, where are the mountains?"

"Zhang Zun, I'm fine." Li Dashan stood up not far away with difficulty, and cursed in anger as soon as he stood up: "The Japanese guy who is raised by a bitch, this cannonball is so accurate, damn it."

"Battle! Mr. Peng is injured!" Wu Wenhu hurried over and reported without even standing attentively.

"Oh! Where is it?" Zhang Xinghan asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Let the brothers quickly clean the battlefield and repair the fortifications to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking!" Peng Shan walked over with gauze wrapped in one hand, surrounded by a team of guards.

"Master, are you okay?" Zhang Xinghan quickly asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm just bitten by the Japanese shrapnel. This little injury is not a problem." Peng Shan said as if nothing had happened.

"Wenhu, win, immediately lead the brothers to clean the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and then repair the fortifications immediately." Zhang Xinghan turned around and ordered with a stern expression.

"Yes!" The two of them agreed with a loud promise, and then turned around and left quickly.

"Xinghan, thank you for your hard work. You Zhongrui Camp should remember the best in this battle!" Zhang Xinghan turned around and Peng Shan praised in a calm voice.

"Trial seat, you have been too rewarded. If it weren't for the division seat, we were able to lead the troops in time and give us artillery reinforcements, our Zhongrui Camp may not be able to defeat the Japanese invaders this time and retake Xiaotang Village." Zhang Xinghan said this and turned around and pointed to the unbearable battlefield and said: "This time we killed at least more than 1,000 Japanese troops, which is the only great victory since the Battle of Shanghai started. The ability to achieve such a battle depends entirely on the bloody battle of the soldiers. You can command the division seat with good command!"

"Okay, you don't have to put a high hat on me. This victory will be the first contribution of your Zhongrui Battalion." Peng Shan said, turning his head to the deputy servant behind him and said, "Adminton Li, record the order and immediately send a telegram to the War Zone Command and Chairman Jiang of Nanjing. After a bloody battle, all the officers and soldiers of our 11th Division recaptured Xiaotang Village, Luodian Portal, half an hour ago, killing more than a thousand enemies and injuring the enemy. The reason why this battle was able to achieve such a brilliant victory was that the Zhongrui Battalion was indispensable. Please ask the War Zone Commander to consider commendations to encourage the soldiers on the front line to resist! On September 3, 2016, the commander of the 11th Division, Peng Shan."

"Yes!" The attendant and adjutant quickly recorded Peng Shan's orders and quickly stood attentively saluted.

Nanjing, Operations Department of the Ministry of National Defense of the National Government.

At this time, not only was the national army and the Japanese army in the battlefield in the Songhu battlefield in a stalemate, but the Xinkou Battle organized by the Second War Zone had been in operation for more than a week. At present, the two sides are still fighting bloody battles. Although it is difficult to decide the winner for the time being, the weapons and equipment of the National Army in the Second War Zone were behind the Japanese army. Although the desperate resistance barely blocked the Japanese army's crazy attack, the casualties themselves were also extremely heavy.

In the Operations Hall, Chairman Jiang was discussing the deployment of the battle with a group of senior combat staff. Now Chairman Jiang is out of reach in the North China battlefield, but the battlefield of Songhu cannot be missed. Otherwise, the direct consequences will not only be the fall of Songhu, but also Nanjing will be insured.

A senior combat staff member pointed to the huge map hanging in the combat hall with a command pole in his hand and explained to Chairman Jiang respectfully: "Please look at the meeting. At present, the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army and the 11th Division are launching fierce attacks on positions in Yuepu, Baoshan and Luodian. The 98th Division in Xia Chuzhong, responsible for defending Yuepu and Baoshan, has been forced to evacuate the position due to excessive casualties."

"Oh? So Baoshan has been lost?" Chairman Jiang asked unhappily when he heard this.

"It has not yet been lost. When the 98th Division retreated, it left the Third Battalion of the 583rd Regiment to defend Baoshan County. All the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion bravely resisted under the leadership of battalion commander Yao Ziqing, and persisted. Therefore, Baoshan County is still in the hands of our army at present." The combat staff quickly replied.

Upon hearing that Baoshan had not yet fallen, Chairman Jiang nodded slightly with a calm expression, and then asked again: "What's the situation in the battle in Luodian?"

"The 11th Division, the 67th Division and other units are currently fighting fiercely with the enemy in Luodian, and the latest battle situation has not been reported yet!" The combat staff member finished speaking.

There was a burst of rapid footsteps outside the combat hall, and everyone turned around and saw Chairman Jiang's attendant Wang Shi and Major General walking in quickly with a hurried look.

Wang Shihe walked quickly to Chairman Jiang, stood attentively and saluted: "Commission, the 11th Division called. Half an hour ago, the 11th Division and the Central Rui Battalion jointly regained the lost position and won the victory of killing more than a thousand enemies. In this battle, all the soldiers of the Central Rui Battalion bravely took the lead under the leadership of the battalion commander Zhang Xinghan, fought to the death. In the fierce battle, they defeated the Japanese army head-on and attacked the Japanese invaders' positions in one fell swoop. The Central Rui Battalion is an indelible contribution to this battle!"

"Okay! Fight well! The Zhongrui Battalion has shown the prestige of Chinese soldiers, greatly boosting the Chinese people's confidence in resisting Japan. I immediately issued a telephone call to commend the soldiers of the 11th Division and the Zhongrui Battalion. In addition, the entire army reported the battle report of the bloody battle between Luodian in the Zhongrui Battalion to boost the morale of the army." Chairman Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Wang Shihe stood at the sight and agreed with a loud bang, and then he wanted to turn around and leave.

Chairman Jiang pondered for a moment, waved his hand and shouted, "Slow down."

"Commissioner, what else is there?" Wang Shihe stopped immediately and turned around and asked.

"Appoint the Zhongrui Battalion, Luodian's defense will be handed over to the 11th Division, and Zhang Xinghan will lead all the officers and soldiers of the battalion to withdraw back to Nanjing to make up for the repair and standby!" Chairman Jiang said with a stern expression.
