The smoke is very choking.

Its bombardment is not very violent either.

It just happens a few times from time to time. It's intermittent. It's terribly irritating.

You don't know when it will come. Therefore, no one dares to let down their guard. The spirit is always tense. It is really physically and mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, it is a fortress. There are a lot of air raid shelters. I spend most of my time in the air raid shelters.

If it's not necessary, generally don't go out.

Just arrange a few lookout posts.

What?

Fight back?

Sorry. Not able.

As for the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army, it would be good if it could hold the fortress.

The fortress can only sit firmly on the Diaoyutai because it has relatively good defense. Otherwise, it would have been dispersed by the Japanese invaders long ago.

Suddenly something happened that I was curious about.

"Lao Du."

"What's up?"

"Have you heard how many independent field heavy artillery regiments the Japanese invaders have?"

"Are you talking about the 150mm howitzer?"

"right."

"I have at least five pieces of information. Most of them used to be in the Kwantung Army, but now they may have been transferred to the Songhu battlefield."

"Five..."

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

In Jiangyin Fortress, there may be only one independent field heavy artillery regiment.

The other four may be in the direction of Jinling.

That's really fatal.

Even without air cover, these 150mm howitzers can completely flatten the national defense line.

"Not all of them were transferred. Two were transferred." Cheng Zhigao interjected.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Yong was confused.

"That's what I understand. There may not be a complete wing in front of us."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"In front of us, the Japanese invaders may only have twelve or eighteen 150mm howitzers."

"Perhaps the others went to Jinling?"

"right."

"oh."

Zhang Yong understood.

The purpose of the Japanese invaders was to hold them back.

In other words, temporarily trap the Jiangyin Fortress so that it cannot exert influence on Jinling.

OK.

Then don't worry.

Sleep peacefully.

There is nothing to do except sleep.

No matter how fierce the battle is over at Jinling, it has nothing to do with me.

Don't forget, you are a "national traitor".

The kind that everyone gets and kills.

If he goes back to Jinling now, he will definitely be thrown rotten eggs by the people who don’t know the truth...

sleep!

…

"boom……"

"boom……"

Intermittent gunfire.

Slowly I got used to it. It was like a lullaby.

I slept until the next day.

stand up.

Get ready to work.

Japanese planes may come again.

result……

Didn't come.

One day passed and the Japanese plane did not arrive.

OK.

Since I'm not coming, I'll continue to sleep and recuperate.

then……

The next day, the Japanese plane did not arrive.

On the third day, I didn’t come...

The fourth day...

The fifth day...

I feel something is wrong.

What's going on? Where have the Japanese planes gone?

Not bombing Jiangyin Fortress? Not bombing Jinling? What does this count? Is it a strike?

get up.

Yawning, he came to the headquarters.

Du Songyue and Cheng Zhigao were also drowsy. They felt very bored.

The Japanese plane came to bomb. I was so nervous and dangerous. I didn’t want it to come. However, it never came, and it seemed that I couldn’t cheer up...

"Commissioner."

"Is there any news about Jinling?"

"No. All phone lines between us and Jinling have been cut off. It cannot be repaired."

"Where's the radio station?"

"No. No one sent us a message. It seems they have forgotten us."

"Then did you take the initiative to send an inquiry?"

"Yes. But there was no reply. We sent reports to the headquarters and the Jinling Garrison District Headquarters, but there was no reply."

"Has Jinling fallen?"

"What?"

Du Songyue and Cheng Zhigao couldn't sit still.

Zhang Yong's words made them nervous and anxious. They were afraid that their speculation would become reality.

If Jinling really falls...

if……

What about Jiangyin Fortress?

give up?

Withdraw north?

"Didi!"
