Xiaotang Village, the 12th Infantry Regiment Command.

Having just repelled the counterattack of the National Army, Anda 23, the captain of the 12th Infantry Regiment, was reporting the results to his superiors. When Anda 23 finished reporting and just hung up the phone.

A second lieutenant officer walked in quickly with a panic expression on his face, and suddenly closed his feet to Anda Twenty-three and reported: "Your Excellency the Corps Commander, the Third Squadron and the Fifth Squadron reported that they discovered that the Chinese army wanted to cross the river and were currently blocking it."

"Yoxi, stupid Chinese people, fortunately, I was prepared for it and ordered the third squadron and the fifth squadron to block the attack with all their might. The fourth squadron is ready to be appointed to reinforce at any time. Be sure to shoot all the Chinese pigs that want to cross the river and feed them in the river to feed the fish." Anda Twenty-three nodded happily and smiled.

"Hayi!" The second lieutenant of the Japanese immediately lowered his head, then turned around and left with a saber with his sword in his arms.

…………………………………

On the east bank of Xiaotang Village, the third Japanese squadron is located along the river.

Lieutenant Aoki, the third squadron, was calmly commanding the headquarters to go to the other side to open fire in an attempt to block the Chinese soldiers on the other side from crossing the river.

After being intercepted by the Third Squadron with all firepower, the Chinese army on the opposite side was indeed blocked and they lay on the ground and shot against the Third Squadron across the river.

Both sides had very fast firepower, dense bullets whistling back and forth across the river, and gunfire sounded loudly on the east side of Xiaotang Village.

The same situation happened almost at the west side of Xiaotang Village. Under the blockade of the Fifth Squadron, the national army on the other side could not cross the river and was forced to shoot against the Fifth Squadron across the river.

The news soon reached the command center of the 12th Infantry Corps. After Anda Twenty-three received the news, she was extremely proud and laughed arrogantly: "Silly Chinese pig..."

Several hours passed quickly. As the Kuomintang troops divided into two groups to attack the two wings of Xiaotang Village, Anda 23 could not understand the intentions of the Kuomintang. To be on the safe side, he did not order the troops to launch another attack on Luodian, which gave the Zhongrui Battalion an excellent opportunity.

After several hours of digging, hundreds of people struggled to dig, more than a dozen open-air tunnels less than one meter deep but about one meter five meters away from the Japanese position.

In order to speed up the progress, Zhang Xinghan and Luo Tianyou also joined the excavation ranks with the guard platoon. The officers and soldiers of the battalion all worked hard to sweat and dig hard. The land in Songhu area was wet, which was very conducive to excavation. Although the soldiers were a little tired, after seeing Zhang Xinghan and Luo Tianyou join in, they all stood up with their butts and guns on their backs, and continued to dig hard.

Xiaotang Village, the 12th Infantry Regiment Command.

The corps leader Anda Twenty-three finally noticed something was wrong. In his impression, the Chinese army had never launched such frequent and uninterrupted attacks on the Imperial Army?

Through the news from the Fifth and Third Squadrons, it can be initially confirmed that the Chinese army on both wings seems to be rapid and frequent, but it is not difficult to find that its main purpose does not seem to be to truly cross the river.

Anda twenty-three carried his hands on his back, frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally decided to go to the frontier observation post to observe. After making up his mind, he led the two chiefs of staff straight out of the command center and strode towards the frontier observation post.

After coming to the frontier observation post, Anda Twenty-san immediately took out the telescope he carried with him and looked forward.

Through the telescope, the scene from Xiaotang Village to Luodian clearly appeared in Anda 23's sight. Anda 23 stared at him for a long time, but did not find any clues.

A chief of staff next to him looked at the captain of the corps for a long time and couldn't help asking: "Hello, have you ever discovered an abnormal situation?"

Anda Twenty-san shook his head and frowned and said, "No, what the hell is the Chinese army doing? It's very strange that there is no movement on the front."

"The situation is unknown, and I recommend ordering the artillery squadron to conduct fire reconnaissance in the front immediately." Another staff officer lowered his head and suggested.

"Yoxi, order the artillery squadron to fire the artillery immediately." Colonel Anda nodded in agreement.

"Hayi!" The two Japanese chiefs of staff immediately bowed their heads and responded, and then one of them turned around and left.

…………………

In the tunnel, Zhang Xinghan was digging the ground with the officers and soldiers with a shovel in his hand. After several hours of contact, they found that although the new commander was very fierce, he also felt an intimate feeling that was beyond ordinary people. The longer he got along with him, the stronger the intimate feeling.

This new commander not only led by example, but also set an example. When they were exhausted, they would also make some dirty jokes and words of encouragement intensely.

Invisibly, the officers and soldiers in the same trench as Zhang Xinghan used a new understanding of the new commander and the anti-Japanese hero promoted in the newspaper, and seemed to be no longer so annoying to Zhang Xinghan.

Just as the officers and soldiers were digging hard, a sudden sharp and sharp shelling sounded from the front. Zhang Xinghan's face changed drastically when he heard the sound, and he immediately ordered: "Lying down, hide!"

A soldier was transporting soil back when a cannonball roared and happened to land beside him and exploded. The soldier was blown back by the powerful shock wave.

"Six Sons!" A soldier close to him roared loudly when he saw this, and then he wanted to get up to rescue him.

Zhang Xinghan quickly stepped forward and pressed him to the ground, and comforted him loudly: "Don't move around, he is dead."

The soldier was extremely sad and looked at Liuzi's body that was blown to pieces and cried bitterly.

"Boom... dongdong... boom..." The Japanese shelling continued, and the roar of shell explosions were everywhere, shrapnel and flames flew wildly.

From time to time, shells occasionally fell into the tunnel, and some people were blown up and their limbs flew across. However, all of this was blocked by thick smoke and fire. At the same time, Anda 23, who was observing the situation at the frontier, looked at the earth in front of which was already covered by thick smoke and fire, and thus, he could not see the specific situation ahead.

Anda Twenty-three put down the telescope, turned around suddenly, and ordered with a stern expression: "Tell me the order, the first brigade gathers immediately, and attack immediately after the shelling is over!"

"Hayi!" A Japanese staff officer next to him suddenly lowered his head, then turned around and left with a saber.

PS: Finally completed the task, fulfilled the promise, and immediately continued to write, and continue to write two updates tomorrow. Each update ranges from two thousand words to three thousand words. Also, please note that Qiufeng fonts are usually coded as the plot develops, so the number of words in each chapter is impossible, with more than two thousand and more than three thousand, which is determined with the development of the plot.
