From early morning to nightfall, the dead soldiers camp temporarily formed by Hu Biao dragged down the 18th Japanese division that tried to take over the Presidential Palace for a whole day. During the daytime blocking battle, Hu Biao almost wiped out the 33rd Infantry Regiment of his vanguard.

As Akara Inoue was chopped off by Liu Guotong's head, the Inoue United Army will completely become history. The scene of chopping off the head and beheading was also taken by Liu Guotong's subordinates with a camera, becoming a precious image material to commemorate the War of Resistance in the future.

A large number of infantry soldiers were sent to the city again, but they were still blocked by Hu Biao and his party outside the presidential palace. When they learned that the attacking troops were frustrated and stayed outside the city to supervise the war, Sadao Niujima was in a state of great dismay, and they also understood that the defeat of the Inoue United was not accidental.

After listening to the report of the officer in charge of the war, Sadao Niujima said more and more curiously: "It should not be simple for the commander of this army to build such a perfect blocking position in such a short time, and such people must be eliminated resolutely."

"Sir, it's too late now. Will the troops organize night battles? In addition, the artillery brigade has sent a telegram that the shells they carry should only be enough to carry out another shelling. They asked for instructions, do they need to use shelling?"

The report of the Chief of Staff of the Division made Sadao Niujima couldn't help but curse: "The baggage troops are all incompetent guys. The supply from the rear has been delayed and has been delivered on time, resulting in insufficient ammunition supply from the front line troops. These people should be sent to military law for engaging in military law.

Go back to the artillery brigade and let them stand on time. It is not yet time to use heavy artillery, so let them find an opportunity to move the position of the mountain artillery brigade forward and cooperate with the siege troops to provide artillery fire cover. Heavy artillery cannot be used for the time being!"

If it were in the past, in order to avoid major casualties in the army, Sadao Ushima would definitely use heavy artillery to open the way. Even if the streets near the Presidential Palace were razed to the ground, he would do whatever he wanted. But at present, there is a problem with the supply of heavy artillery shells.

Even Hu Biao never expected that as he destroyed the railway to Jinling on a large scale, the ammunition stored in Runzhou City by the Japanese army was also blown up. The baggage troops responsible for transporting supplies to the Japanese army on the front line could not supply ammunition in time.

Compared with ammunition, the daily supplies of the main combat divisions on the front line are more important. Priority is given to supply food and use to ensure that the troops do not have food shortages. As for ammunition, the conventional ammunition divisions currently have a certain amount of spares.

Only by consuming too much heavy artillery shells and the Japanese army has already used the previously available ammunition, can the troops be ensured that there is no ammunition available. As before, it is probably not so easy to frequently use heavy artillery to attack cities and plunder land.

When he learned that the siege troops were facing at this moment, there were more houses and shops from those streets. Sadao Niujima thought it was enough to use mountain cannons. Sadao Niujima felt that it was necessary to use the remaining heavy shells until the most critical time.

At this critical moment, Sadao Ushima felt that he would attack the Presidential Palace. According to the information I saw earlier, Sadao Ushima knew that the construction of the Presidential Palace was very solid, and it would be difficult to destroy it with just a mountain cannon.

As for occupying the Presidential Palace intact, Sadao Niujima has given up this idea. From the defenders' daring to blow up houses and buildings on both sides of the street, we can see how tenacious the defenders' will to resist is.

It is almost impossible to easily occupy the Presidential Palace!

While the Japanese army was adjusting their arrangements and starting to prepare for the night battle, Hu Biao called Liu Quan and said, "Old Liu, I discussed with Major Liu earlier and asked him to lead the Fifth Regiment and the recruited troops to break out at night at the early morning.

As for you and the guards, I decided to keep you, of course you can refuse. I think you should know the result of the stay. As for us, we must stick to it until tomorrow night. If we can break through, we will break through again then!"

"Sir Hu, you don't need to say more. I understand what you mean. Please rest assured that we are not afraid of death in a row and are willing to fight with the superior until the end. If the superior doesn't leave, we will never take a step back."

"Okay! As for the current situation, the Japanese are just tentative attacks, and there should be big moves later. You can leave a platoon of troops and cooperate with my sniper team and commando to block the attack.

The rest of the troops have all built anti-aircraft fortifications. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese may use artillery to attack later. I have sent someone to search for this house earlier, and many people have dug cellars to serve as temporary anti-aircraft tunnels.

As for those shops built with steel and cement, you can build a triangular defensive wall under the load-bearing wall. Even if the house above is blown up, the bottom should still be safe and can play a certain protective role.

In short, once the Japanese use heavy artillery, you must hide it as soon as possible. If you use mountain artillery, those private houses cannot be kept and all of them will be transferred to those shops. As for the Japanese, it will not be so easy to break through the defense line.

I will go back to the Presidential Palace later, pull out the mortar platoons and deploy them behind us to provide artillery fire cover. As for the Japanese mountain artillery positions, as long as they dare to set them up in the city, I will also use artillery fire to counterattack.

If our artillery positions are located outside the city, our artillery can't fight back, so I will send a commando out of the city and find an opportunity to destroy their artillery positions at night. If they can get rid of their artillery positions, the battle will be much easier tomorrow."

"Sir, don't worry, as long as there are still people in our company, I promise not to let the Japanese cross this line of defense!"

When Liu Quan learned that Hu Biao ordered Liu Guo to break through, although he was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it. As the elite of the guard battalion of the teaching corps, Liu Quan knew very well that he was staying by Gui Shuzhen, so he obeyed Hu Biao's command.

Since Hu Biao doesn't leave, they can't leave either. Even if they break through successfully and let Gui Ruzhen know the truth, they will not only not be happy but will be angry. Abandoning the superior and leading the troops to evacuate is a taboo in the army!

He brought Huang Ershuan and Tian Tiezhu back to the Presidential Palace. Xu Sandao and others who had evacuated earlier were also having a meal and resting in the side room of the Presidential Palace. Seeing Hu Biao coming back, Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou and others also came over quickly.

It seemed that Hu Biao had something to say to these confidants, but Chen Gongshu didn't come to join in the fun. After finding a room alone, Hu Biao finally had the opportunity to say his decision. But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Sandao stood up and said, "I don't agree!"

"Old Xu, remember, now is different from usual, you must obey orders."

"No! Before we came out, we agreed to live and die together. What's the matter with you who keep me breaking through? I won't leave!"

"That's right! I won't leave either! We all came out of the alone camp. If you don't leave, I won't leave either!"

According to Hu Biao's arrangement, he planned to send Xu Sandao to lead a small army to detour behind the Japanese army when Liu Guotong and others led their troops to break through, and find ways to destroy the heavy artillery position set up outside the city. This task is also very dangerous.

But in the eyes of Xu Sandao and others, what Hu Biao said to them before was somewhat of a entrusting an orphan. As Hu Biao's most confidant subordinates, how could they be willing to abandon Hu Biao and break through and retreat?

If Hu Biao was promoted to lieutenant colonel by Jiang Jiang for his many military achievements from Shanghai, then Xu Sandao, the first lieutenant, has now been promoted to lieutenant, and Qin Tianyou and others have all been promoted to lieutenant.

Although they, like Hu Biao, could not receive the so-called military pay. However, the officer uniforms transferred by Chen Gongshu meant that they were all known and valued by Dai Li and Chiang Kai-shek. How many people in the entire army can obtain this honor?

Looking at Xu Sandao and Chen Qiang with excited expressions, Hu Biao smiled bitterly: "Sandao, when did I say I won't leave? As a commander, I must stick to the end. If I leave, what will the brothers who stayed behind think?

Secondly, letting you and Chen Qiang lead the assault team out of the city is also very difficult. Once the whereabouts are revealed, you will be surrounded by the Japanese army. Maybe you may leave the city earlier than I am glorious.

If you can avoid the Japanese's alert arrangements and successfully detour behind enemy lines to destroy the Japanese's heavy artillery positions, then tomorrow's battle will be better. I also have the confidence to lead the remaining troops to persevere until the end.

Once I start breaking through, and there are no people outside the city who are not at ease to respond, do you think I will feel at ease? So, don’t fight anymore, you should rest quickly, when I give orders, you must leave the city immediately, and then go to Zijin Mountain to wait for me."

"Then why did you say before, if you don't come back, let us go back to Anhua Mountain? You should know that the Avenge Battalion only recognizes you as the battalion commander, and no one else recognizes you. If you don't come back, who can command the entire battalion?"

Xu Sandao, who was still a little angry, even though he knew that Hu Biao was good at asking him and Chen Qiang to lead the team to carry out the mission. However, Xu Sandao always felt that Hu Biao's role was irreplaceable, whether it was avenge camp or a deceased soldier camp.

Facing what Xu Sandao said, Hu Biao finally said: "You have been with me for a long time. You should be clear about my style of doing things and think about everything in the wrong place so that you will not be confused.

Who would say that you will survive to the end in war? If you can successfully destroy it tonight or pose a threat to the Japanese heavy artillery positions, then my chances of successfully breaking through tomorrow will increase greatly.

At present, the news that the Jinling Death Soldiers Camp was held up, and the soldiers and civilians of the War of Resistance all over the country knew that as commanders, I would definitely not be able to leave. If the Presidential Palace becomes a ruin, I would also give the people of the whole country an explanation. It is not that they do not defend, but that they really cannot defend it.

As long as there are those who are alive among us, we must remember our original oath, life will continue and the battle will continue. If you sacrifice in the future, I will avenge you. If I sacrifice, you will avenge me, which is better than being taken away by the Japanese, right?"

With Hu Biao's sincere words, Xu Sandao finally remained silent for a while and said, "Okay! You are the captain, I obey the orders. But I still want to say that if you can't come out alive, we will hate you for the rest of your life!"

Hu Biao could only smile helplessly at what Xu Sandao said. If he could live, who would want to die? As a time traveler, Hu Biao cares more about the life he regained. But sometimes, there will always be some situations that cannot be controlled!
