At the mouth of Baima, the Yangtze River was covered by a Japanese cruiser. The sudden heavy rain forced Nakajima Atsugo to return to the cabin from the deck.

As soon as Nakajima Imago returned to the cabin, Chief of Staff Mio Nakazawa walked in with rain all over, suddenly closed his feet and said: "General, it's raining heavily. The 33rd Regiment requested a temporary delay in advance and retreat to shelter from the rain."

"Baga! Even the shadow of the Chinese people has not been seen yet, how can we just withdraw it like this?" Nakajima Imasago looked at the river outside the window and said, "The rain is very strong now, and the Chinese people must be negligent in their prevention and ordered the 33rd Regiment to continue to advance towards Taicang and raid the Taicang County."

"General, the rain is very heavy now, which has had a serious impact on the mine-clearing work of the engineers. Moreover, the heavy rain has caused the road to become extremely muddy and difficult to move forward. Our tanks and artillery are unable to move forward at all. Huzhi suggested that the 33rd Regiment be stopped for the time being and stationed on the spot. After the rain stops, we will continue to advance towards Taicang." Nakazawa Misu suggested.

"Since that's the case, order the 33rd Regiment to stop moving forward, stand on time, and be ready to attack at any time." Nakajima Imao looked at the heavy rain outside the cabin again and said.

"Hayi!" Nakazawa Sanfu responded with a sudden downfall, then turned around and left.

…………………………………

On the Tuo Highway from Baizhaikou to Taicang, the 33rd Japanese Regiment had received the order from the division commander Imao Nakajima. The commander of the regiment, Colonel Kengo, immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and set up tents on the spot for officers and soldiers to hide from the rain.

Since the road is surrounded by plains and has no barriers and no place for the Japanese to hide, Colonel Kengo Noda had to order camping on the road.

On one side of the road, Colonel Kengo Noda was wearing a raincoat and accompanied by several subordinates, patrolling the officers and soldiers who were building tents in the rain. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were all soaked into sausages, Kengo Noda couldn't help but curse: "Damn the weather."

"Grand Colonel, even the aviation force cannot take off in such bad weather. Why don't the division commander let us retreat to the fleet to hide from the rain?" A Zhongsou said with a little resentment.

"I don't know, maybe the division commander has his considerations. As an imperial soldier, we can only execute orders." Speaking of the division commander, Kengo Noda obviously respected it very much.

The Japanese soldiers were still very efficient in their work. Just as they were talking, a simple marching tent had been set up. A Japanese lieutenant rushed over in the rain and stood attentively and saluted: "Girl, the tent has been set up. Please come inside to shelter from the rain."

"Yoxi!" Colonel Kengo Noda nodded happily, and then walked towards the set tent with his subordinates.

Other Japanese soldiers were still building their own tents. More than 2,000 Japanese soldiers were busy on the entire highway. An infantry squadron in charge of the guards was unable to be alert at all because of the heavy rain. They were looking for objects to block the rain.

While the Japanese soldiers were busy building tents, Zhang Xinghan and nearly 200 officers and soldiers from the guard company were quietly advancing towards the Japanese.

In front of the team, the company commander of the guard company, Li Dashan, led a squad in the rain, and Li Dashan's huge body seemed very fast at this moment. Under his leadership, the squad rushed forward like a sensitive monkey, and the muddy road seemed to have no effect on them.

"Royal seat. Two and a half miles ahead, the Japanese guards were found." Zhang Xinghan led his troops to move forward quickly, and a soldier from the vanguard squad ran back panting and reported.

Zhang Xinghan immediately squatted down, waved his hand to signal the follow-up troops to stop following up, panting and holding his helmet covered in rain, and immediately turned to a soldier and said, "Go and notify the deputy Luo Tuan immediately and come and join me quickly."

"Yes!" A soldier immediately took the order and left quickly.

Zhang Xinghan turned to the vanguard again and said, "Let me take me to see what's going on."

"Yes!" The vanguard responded with a loud promise, then stood up and ran forward with Zhang Xinghan.

After following the vanguards for about a kilometer, Zhang Xinghan saw Li Dashan and other soldiers squatting behind a dirt slope, and immediately came to the back of the dirt slope.

He asked in a low voice: "Dashan, how is the situation?"

"The troupe is about 500 meters ahead, and there are Japanese warnings." Seeing Zhang Xinghan coming, Li Dashan quickly replied.

"Can you touch them quietly and get rid of them?" Zhang Xinghan said as he took out the telescope from his waist.

"I'm afraid not. There are open areas around. If we appear rashly, we will definitely be discovered by the Japanese. Moreover, the Japanese have more than one or two sentries, look." Li Dashan pointed ahead and said.

Zhang Xinghan picked up the telescope and looked forward. He saw several Japanese soldiers patrolling around with guns in the dense rainstorm, and a group of sentries were flowing to patrol.

"Damn it, the sneak attack is not possible. It seems that there is only a strong attack. Fortunately, the Japanese have already set up a camp. We suddenly launched an attack, which will definitely catch the Japanese off guard." Zhang Xinghan immediately turned his head and said, "Dashan, go and inform Deputy Commander Luo and ask him to bring his troops here to join us."

"Yes!" Li Dashan happily agreed and turned around and conveyed the order to a soldier. The soldier immediately took the order and ran towards the way he came.

At a moment, Luo Tianyou was ordered to arrive with the first and second battalions and the guard company. In order to prevent the Japanese from discovering them, the officers and soldiers were all lying behind the earth slope. The cold rain and mud immediately soaked the soldiers.

"What should I do if the group seat?" Luo Tianyou walked to Zhang Xinghan with his waist.

"Tianyou, you immediately gather all the mortars, aim them at the Japanese camp in front, and shoot all the shells carried by them. After the shelling is over, everyone will be bayonets and rush up to the bayonets and see the red battle and the battle will be decided quickly." Zhang Xinghan observed the situation of the Japanese in front and ordered.

"Yes!" Luo Tianyou responded with a loud promise, and then turned around and took the order and left.

At this time, hundreds of simple marching tents on the Japanese camp had been built. Except for a squadron of Japanese soldiers who stayed around the camp to be responsible for the alert, the rest of Japanese soldiers hid in the tent and went to shelter from the rain.

A small stove rose in the tent in the middle. Colonel Kengo Noda was baking the fire with several captains and chief of staff. Kengo Noda even took off his military boots that had been in water, and baked one on the stove with one in his hands.

Although the military boots emitted a disgusting smell of feet, the Japanese masters did not dare to be dissatisfied at all. Instead, they flattered the captain's squawk with a smile.

Suddenly, a sharp shelling sound suddenly sounded in the sky, and Colonel Kengo Noda changed color when he heard the sound: "Baga, where is the cannon?"

Several Japanese masters also stood up in a panic. At this moment, a Japanese soldier ran in with a panic expression. Before he could hold his feet in his eyes, he hurriedly said: "Report to the corps captain, it's not good, we are being bombarded by unknown armed artillery."

"Bagaya Road must be a cunning Chinese, and the brigades will prepare for battle immediately." Kengo Noda ordered in anger.

"Hayi!" Several Japanese officers responded in unison and immediately turned around and left.

At this moment, a sharp and harsh shelling sounded again. Kengo Noda and several Japanese officers raised their heads and found that a fireball was roaring and falling down from the tent above their heads.

"Baga..." Before Colonel Kengo finished speaking, the shell suddenly fell down and exploded with a loud bang. With a loud bang, Kengo Noda, a top student from the Imperial Army University, went to see their Emperor during the explosion.

After the shelling, the Japanese who suffered heavy casualties were in chaos. As several team leaders and the corps command were killed by the National Army's mortars, the Japanese who lost their unified command became even more chaotic.

At this moment, Zhang Xinghan in the distance immediately pulled out a big knife and raised it over his head, shouting loudly: "Brothers, come with me!"
