Luodian, 11th Division Command.

The division headquarters was crowded with people. Although the 66th Regiment repelled the Japanese attack with the reinforcements of the Zhongrui Battalion, the situation facing Luodian was still very serious. The Japanese artillery and aviation were constantly bombarding and bombing the Luodian National Army positions. Standing in the command center, you could clearly hear the deafening explosions outside and the roar of the planes.

The atmosphere in the entire command center was quite serious. Peng Shan raised his head, glanced at everyone present one by one, and said in a solemn tone: "Everyone, listen, there is the sound of Japanese artillery outside. Xiaotang Village is the gateway of Luodian. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a deceased lips and cold teeth. Once Xiaotang Village is occupied by the Japanese invaders, the situation is like now. Their artillery can easily threaten our positions and can unscrupulously strike us on artillery fire.

If this continues, even if the Japanese don’t come to attack, we will suffer heavy casualties and eventually Luodian will be lost! Therefore, after discussion with the Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander Mo, we must regain Xiaotang Village, no matter how much the price it costs. Because only by regaining Xiaotang Village can we defend Luodian and ensure the entire Songhu battlefield. So we have no choice. If Xiaotang Village cannot be captured, including me, Mr. Peng, all the soldiers of my 11th Division will not want to go back alive. I am invincible in this battle, and there are enemies but no one."

"Second, I am willing to lead all the officers and soldiers of our 66th Regiment to form an suicide squad and swear to retake Xiaotang Village to death." Hu Lian, the leader of the 66th Regiment, stood up and said.

"Captain Hu, your 66th Regiment has fought with the Japanese invaders for three days and three nights. Please hand over the mission of the suicide squad to our Zhongrui Camp. We are the Zhongrui Camp personally named by the Commissioner. We should charge forward. In the battle of Xiaotang Village, our Zhongrui Camp must be my Zhongrui Camp!" Luo Tianyou stood up and said.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Luo, the battle in Xiaotang Village is not a trivial matter. You are only allowed to succeed and not fail. Otherwise, not only will your Zhongrui Camp suffer heavy losses, but it will also affect the morale of all the officers and soldiers of the division. Luodian may not be protected by then!" Peng Shan looked at Luo Tianyou and said meaningfully.

"Please rest assured, Chief Peng, is willing to issue a military order. If you cannot take back Xiaotang Village, you should come and see you. Let Chief Peng handle the military law!" Luo Tianyou said without thinking.

"Battleman Luo, there is no joke in the army!" Chief of Staff Mei Chunhua kindly reminded.

"A real man spits a nail in one mouthful, and he will never regret it!" Luo Tianyou patted his chest and said sternly.

"Okay! Lt. Col. Luo takes into account the overall situation and understands the righteousness deeply. He is worthy of being an excellent party-state soldier, a Huangpu family, and a good student of my commission. I wish you a victory and return in triumph!" Peng Shan immediately said.

"Thank you, sir!" Luo Tianyou stepped forward and saluted, then turned around and left quickly.

"Teacher, although the Zhongrui Battalion is known as the first elite battalion, they are no new recruits who have fought with the Japanese. They lack experience. Is this possible?" Seeing Luo Tianyou leave, the deputy division commander Mo Yushuo said with a worried look on his face.

"Oh, the matter has to be like this now. The 31st Brigade has not yet been built. The 65th and 66th Regiments have fought with the Japanese invaders for a long time. The troops have suffered heavy casualties. The only one who has the power to fight is Zhongrui Camp." Peng Shan sighed.

"But, I always feel that Luo Tianyou is not as reliable as Zhang Xinghan. This person is more brave and lacks wisdom. It would be great if Zhang Xinghan was here. He led the Zhongrui Camp to fight with all his might, and he might be able to succeed in one fell swoop!" Mo Yushuo said with a frown.

"Yes, Zhang Xinghan can block the attack of a Japanese army's corps with a company of defeated troops for a whole day. This is something that people can do. If he really leads a fully equipped Zhongrui battalion with excellent equipment, the chance of victory should be higher." Chief of Staff Mei Chunhua also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, since things have come to this point, we have to wait for the result. I hope Luo Tianyou and the others can win and retake Xiaotang Village." Peng Shan comforted.

"Yes!" Mo Mei and the others nodded at the same time.

…………………

Outside Luodian, on the 66th Regiment's attacking position, more than 400 officers and soldiers of the Zhongrui Battalion were ready to go. Looking at the more than 400 subordinates who were fully armed and armed with guns and live ammunition, the deputy battalion commander Luo Tianyou seemed a little energetic.

Unexpectedly, he held a big iron knife in his hand, strode to the front of the queue, glanced coldly, and said, "Brothers, Xiaotang Village is related to the safety of Luodian. If Luodian is lost, Songhu is in danger and Nanjing is in danger. Therefore, we ordered us to take it back at all costs."

After saying this, Luo Tianyou raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, pick up the weapons in your hands, rush up with me, and take back Xiaotang Village! Kill!"

"Run!"

"Kill!"

More than 400 officers and soldiers of the Zhongrui Battalion immediately responded in unison, holding steel guns with bayonets, and shouting and following Luo Tianyou to launch an attack on Xiaotang Village.

Xiaotang Village, the command center of the 12th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army, and the 23rd Colonel Anda, the command center of the 12th Infantry Regiment, are deploying the next attack in the command center.

Suddenly, a deafening shout sounded from the direction of Luodian. Anda 23 threw the pencil in his hand on the map, stood up and asked, "Baga, what's going on?"

At this moment, a second lieutenant of the Japanese hurriedly ran in, suddenly closed his feet and said, "Report that the corps is in your Excellency, the Zhina Army launched an attack on the position of our third brigade."

"Divine Ma? The Chinese Army? Did the attack be launched?" Anda 23 asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Hayi! There is a battalion of troops." The second lieutenant of the Japanese responded suddenly with his head down.

"Yoxi!" Anda Twenty-three nodded and smiled happily after hearing this: "The Chinese army wants to regain Xiaotang Village to work. These stupid mobs dare to launch a counterattack on our Imperial Japanese Army with their little force. The third battalion will resist with all its strength. The first battalion will immediately reinforce the third battalion and must defeat all the Chinese army!"

"Hayi!" The second lieutenant of the Japanese responded suddenly with his head down again, then turned around and left quickly.

……………………

Luodian, the 11th Division.

The division commander Peng Shan and others were waiting urgently for the news from Zhongrui Camp within the division headquarters, but bad news has always been heard from the front line.

"Reporting to the division, the Japanese army's defensive firepower was very strong, and the attack of the Zhongrui Battalion was blocked."

"Reporting to the division seat, the Japanese army suddenly dispatched tanks and tanks, and the Zhongrui Battalion suffered heavy losses."

"The report manager's seat, Zhongrui Battalion was forced to retreat and the offense failed."

Listening to the latest war situations coming from the front line, Peng Shan and others' foreheads were covered with sweat as big as beans.

"What should I do? The counterattack of the Zhongrui Battalion failed." Deputy division commander Mo Yu said with a frown.

"The Japanese have excellent and fierce firepower, as well as tanks and chariots. Once Xiaotang Village is captured by them, it will probably not be so easy to retake it. We should immediately shrink our troops and defend Luodian, and then ask for reinforcements from the War Zone Command." Chief of Staff Mei Chunhua suggested.

Before Peng Shan could speak, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded outside the command center, followed by a loud voice: "Slow down, give me a battalion, I will definitely take back Xiaotang Village!" Zhang Xinghan led Li Dashan and others in with great strides.
