Ye Danian smiled and ordered Yan Hongyi, "Open fire with the heavy machine guns!"

For the dozens of surviving Japanese cavalrymen charging towards them, they posed absolutely no threat to the current Sixth Platoon.

The next action should begin immediately.

Ye Danian ordered loudly, "Zhen Jianshu, take sixty men and quickly clear the battlefield.

Ji Feichi, Shao Haobo, and Jian Junmin, immediately replenish the depleted bombs.

Move quickly.

Speed it up, the Japanese could come up again at any time."

Ants fighting on the ground usually don't attract people's attention.

Just like the battle between the Sixth Platoon and the Japanese Ninth Cavalry Regiment.

Their battle on the ground originally wouldn't attract the attention of those proud sons of heaven in the sky.

The explosions were inaudible to Xia Fangxiang in the sky.

But the aerial fighter group had the same target as the Japanese cavalry on the ground.

The charge of that cavalry unit of the Imperial heroes on the ground also attracted the attention of those proud sons of heaven in the sky.

Several aircraft in the sky clearly saw that the cavalry were almost about to charge into the target's position.

In the blink of an eye, the entire location of the cavalry regiment was filled with smoke, and nothing could be seen clearly.

When the smoke cleared slightly, the location of the cavalry had become a purgatory.

All the Imperial warriors were killed without exception.

The fate of the cavalry on the ground gave the Japanese pilots in the sky a feeling of shared sorrow.

"Will our fate be the same as theirs?" These high-ranking pilots had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

Ji Feichi, Shao Haobo, and Jian Junmin each led a small team of ten men, and with a desperate effort, rushed towards the distance.

They knew: "Today's battle will be very difficult. The Japanese cavalry has already arrived, and the next wave of attacks may come soon.

The faster they run, the more bombs they can deploy.

The more Japanese they can stop!"

Just now, the explosion blew up at least six hundred Japanese cavalry, which was a great victory!

Much more than the entire Sixth Platoon.

Yan Hongyi also became serious, commanding ten heavy machine guns to fire at Captain Murakata Haruo and the last of the cavalry he was leading, who were still charging.

The rain of bullets spewed out by the ten heavy machine guns left Captain Murakata Haruo with nowhere to escape.

These last few survivors were all brought down on the road to charge without any struggle.

Yan Junyi gently waved his hand to brush away the smoke in front of him: "Take cover!"

Ten makeshift armored vehicles loaded with heavy machine guns were pushed back behind the cars.

Zhen Jianshu led three squads, sixty soldiers, and quickly rushed across the five hundred meters, putting the finishing touches on those Japanese soldiers who were unwilling to go to hell.

At the same time, he waved to Ye Danian, who was closely watching them.

Ye Danian looked at the five cavalry scouts he had sent out in the distance, who had rushed out a thousand meters without sending back any news of the Japanese.

He ordered again, "Send up five vehicles! Bring the equipment back."

Clearing the battlefield is one of the important steps in the Special Company's operations.

Every soldier in the Special Company knows very well that the battlefield needs to be cleaned thoroughly.

Today, time is tight and the mission is heavy.

The main thing is that there are too few people clearing the battlefield and too many Japanese cavalry died.

Of Zhen Jianshu and his sixty men, the first twenty were busy finishing off the enemy, the next twenty were picking up weapons.

And the other twenty soldiers were all swinging large knives and axes, cutting off the thighs of those warhorses.

Today, time is too tight, weapons and ammunition must all be cleared and taken away.

This concerns the combat effectiveness of the entire Special Company, and it is the top priority.

As for those warhorses lying on the ground, if there was enough time, they should carefully skin the warhorses, cut the meat, and clean out the internal organs.

This way, they could make the most of these warhorses without wasting anything.

As for now, Zhen Jianshu could only order the soldiers to take the thighs first.

If there was time, they could come back to clean up the remaining horse meat.

The Special Company has always had such a fine tradition of clearing the battlefield, leaving nothing behind.

If "eating the flesh of the barbarian when hungry, drinking the blood of the Xiongnu when thirsty" wasn't just a figure of speech.

The soldiers of the Special Company could really cut off the thighs of these Japanese soldiers and use them as food.

Ji Feichi, Shao Haobo, and Jian Junmin, each leading ten soldiers, were working hard.

Their task was to bury mines, a lot of mines.

The current Special Company is very wealthy, the company commander went to the Jiangyin defense area headquarters and got a thousand jin of explosives for each platoon.

Now is the time to use these explosives.

Digging pits, burying mines, and poisoning the Japanese, these soldiers were having a great time.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Yoson Itsuro still didn't know what had happened to the Ninth Cavalry Regiment.

He was commanding the Third Cavalry Regiment, the Seventeenth Cavalry Regiment, and the 101st Cavalry Regiment to rush out of Jiangyin County.

Lieutenant Colonel Yoson Itsuro watched as warplanes in the dark mass of aircraft in the sky were constantly exploding into fireworks.

And warplanes were constantly dragging long trails of black smoke and crashing to the ground.

All indications showed that the Nationalist army unit trapped on the road was a formidable opponent.

This must be an elite army of the Nationalist army. If he could command the cavalry to wipe out this unit.

Lieutenant Colonel Yoson couldn't help but laugh.

Now, of the three cavalry regiments, the 101st Cavalry Regiment was at the forefront. Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto was urgently kicking his warhorse. He was anxious!

The Ninth Cavalry Regiment was half an hour ahead of him.

Half an hour was enough for the cavalry regiment to wipe out the Nationalist army soldiers back and forth three times, right?

Now, Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto only hoped that the unit ahead was strong.

That they would set up more obstacles for the Ninth Cavalry Regiment, and that they would only be completely defeated after his regiment arrived on the battlefield.

That way, everything would be perfect.

Behind Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto was not only his regiment's cavalry, but also more than seven hundred men led by Captain Takeuchi Takuma of the Third Cavalry Regiment, closely following his unit.

Further back was the Seventeenth Cavalry Regiment led by Captain Takiyama Shota.

The three cavalry regiments now formed a mixed cavalry unit, which had become a whole.

The entire mixed cavalry unit had two thousand three hundred men, and that number was without any exaggeration.

A solid two thousand three hundred cavalrymen, such a force could completely fight a battle.

Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto knew what it meant for such a large cavalry unit to go into battle.

Although Matsui Iwane was no longer the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Army.

He was still the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, and he was ordering the commander of the 13th Infantry Division to "send out a tank unit to completely wipe out this unit in Jiangnan."

Just now, Matsui Iwane received the latest battlefield report from the 16th Division: the 33rd Brigade suffered heavy losses while blocking that Nationalist army transport unit, and had now withdrawn from Xiagang Town.

He believed that the unit had already arrived in Xiagang, and perhaps they were crossing the river.

It was because he received such news that Commander Matsui Iwane ordered the 13th Division to immediately send out a tank unit to attack quickly.

They must wipe out that Nationalist army unit before they crossed the river.

Lin Fan no longer had time to direct the actions of the entire Special Company.

He operated the anti-aircraft gun, commanding the other seven anti-aircraft guns, to meet the enemy aircraft in the air.

The anti-aircraft network formed by the eight anti-aircraft guns used together,

was obviously much more powerful than when they were used at the fortress.

Captain Xia Fangxiang watched as planes were constantly crashing in the distance, and he had already decided to skirt around the area and not actively touch that airspace.

In fact, he now clearly understood what the so-called fortress curse and gates of hell were.

It should be the location of the unit below, wherever this unit was.

That place was hell and a forbidden zone for the Imperial Air Force.

But he didn't dare to say such experience, he couldn't say it to anyone.

When he watched those novice pilots shout slogans on the radio and bravely rush towards the dense anti-aircraft fire.

He was very moved: it was because of such pilots that they, these old hands, had the opportunity to survive.

Captain Xia Fangxiang wasn't the only one slightly deviating from the route, there were at least seven planes in front of him.

They formed a squadron and discovered the cars parked at the Xiagang pier.

The planes in front of Captain Xia Fangxiang immediately began to dive, preparing to attack.

When these planes dived, countless bullets suddenly flew up from the ground, including anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and even rifles.

The most powerful were the 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

When this squadron broke away from the main group, Lin Fan was already tracking them with his artillery.

When the enemy planes in front began to dive, the flight path of these planes could not be changed temporarily.

Commander Xu Kang, Division Commander Chang Enduo, Staff Officer He Hesong, and many senior officers of the 111th Division watched as the enemy planes dived towards the cars and heavy artillery parked at the Xiagang pier.

Everyone's expression changed, and their expressions were serious.

So many Japanese planes meant destruction for a completely exposed unit.

Xu Kang ordered loudly, "Shoot! Shoot down the planes!"

Division Commander Chang Enduo said with a wry smile, "Commander Xu, we don't have the latest anti-aircraft guns here. At this distance, we can't help!"

Commander Xu Kang's eyes turned red, "What do we do now?"

Those who were watching from across the river were even more nervous than Hui Jianming, who was at the scene and within the range of the Japanese attack.

Seeing the artillery that he and his men were dragging, Quan Jianming knew that the artillery were all in motion, and they couldn't fire at all.

And these artillery couldn't be fired in a short time.

It would take at least an hour to switch them from traveling mode to firing mode.

The soldiers under his command were nervously fleeing in panic.

This wasn't the first time these soldiers had run away when enemy planes approached.

At this time, the soldiers of the Special Company, as before, turned a blind eye to the enemy planes that had already begun to dive.

It made people wonder if they really couldn't see the enemy planes in the sky?

Hui Jianming stood resignedly in front of a cannon, staring fixedly at the plane in the lead.

The four machine guns hanging under the plane had already started firing.

The four long tongues of fire could be clearly seen even in the sunlight.

In another minute, maybe thirty seconds, those four tongues of fire should be in front of him, right? Hui Jianye thought sadly.

He died before his mission was accomplished, causing heroes to shed tears!

At this time, Hui Jianye had deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

Just then, a shell chased up from behind the plane.

The plane exploded all of a sudden very close to the ground.

From Hui Jianming's position, the plane was flying lower than Huangshan in the distance.

It just exploded at such a low altitude!

After the plane exploded, the two planes closely following it couldn't help but follow.

They plunged headlong into the fragments of the plane that had just exploded.

These two planes didn't explode, but their tails were dragging a plume of smoke.

Hui Jianye could clearly see that the machine guns on the plane that had come from behind had stopped firing.

The pilot's panic could be clearly seen.

Two planes in a row crashed into the fragments of the plane that had exploded.

Then they staggered and plunged into the Yangtze River.

Just as these two fighter planes were plunging into the Yangtze River.

Two more planes exploded in the air behind them.

These were the planes that were diving behind them, and they were hit by shells chasing up from behind.

Xia Fangxiang had a vivid impression of what had happened before: this was the scene that had occurred on the day when the Jiangyin Fortress had shot down many planes for the first time.

All the planes crashed into the exploding plane in front.

Causing a chain reaction.

This time, Quan Jianming saw with his own eyes that from the time these planes started diving towards his position.

The six planes that were diving were hit by three shells that chased after them and were all shot down.

Three shells! Shot down six Japanese planes that were diving!

Were his eyes deceiving him? Hui Jianye couldn't believe it!

Another plane in the air turned nimbly towards Jiangbei and flew away.

The sudden situation over Xiagang stunned everyone watching the battle on Jiangbei.

Chang Enduo grabbed Commander Xu Kang with both hands, "Lao Xu! Did you see that?

Are my eyes deceiving me?"

Commander Xu Kang had calmed down at this time, "This is nothing, this is just Company Commander Lin's basic operation.

I discovered his talent for shooting down planes on the first day he arrived in Jiangyin.

So the next day, I gave him the most advanced German-imported anti-aircraft gun.

He didn't let me down, he shot down fifty-seven planes that day."

Division Commander Chang Enduo, "Lao Xu, you old fox, he did such a great job. He's still a company commander.

If the company commander under my command shot down fifty-seven planes, he would at least be on the same level as me, right!"

Commander Xu Kang glanced at him, "A division commander with a color? Would you promote him?

I wasn't even qualified to promote him to battalion commander."

"At this time, the capital is being besieged by the Japanese, and you're still arguing about this color and that color, this ideology and that ideology.

Is there any point?" There was a hint of anger in Chang Enduo's tone.

"Be careful! Just the day before yesterday, this Company Commander Lin was almost arrested by the military intelligence director of the Jiangyin Headquarters." Xu Kang said with a smile.

He thought of the rumors that had spread about what Lin Fan and his Special Company had done at the Jiangfang Headquarters.

"What's going on? Tell me!" Chang Enduo was immediately interested.

Xu Kang looked around, and Chang Enduo immediately understood, "You guys step back ten meters and guard against spies listening in."

He didn't want more people to hear.

After listening to Commander Xu Kang's account, he said in surprise, "Commander Liu just covered up the matter like that?"

"What else can we do? Look at their combat effectiveness today?

What we can see is only in the air. The Japanese have three divisions on the other side. Imagine, the Japanese only used the air force?

How can the Jiangyin Headquarters withstand the torment of this group of elite troops?

So Commander Liu had to bear the humiliation, call a deer a horse, and pinch his nose to let Director Jin feel wronged."

"Hahaha! Director Jin is really wronged this time, wronged to death!" Chang Enduo said without any sympathy.

"Yes! So he died." Xu Kang said coldly.

"Guess if they can break through?" Chang Enduo asked suddenly.

"Yes!" Commander Xu Kang said decisively.

"I'm not talking about one or two soldiers running out, but a well-organized breakthrough.

Not to say that all of their one thousand plus men will survive, but at least the organization can't be disrupted, right!"

"Of course! I bet they can break through successfully!"

"Okay! If you win, I'll treat you at the most expensive French restaurant in Nanjing, and we must invite Company Commander Lin over then.

Introduce him to me!" Chang Enduo said with a smile.

"So that's what you're planning. Okay!

I'll use my old face to sell it, and I'll definitely invite him then.

You can go and book a table now.

I heard that those restaurants aren't easy to book, and foreigners won't give us any face." Commander Xu Kang said with a smile.

"Don't worry about that, the restaurant is opened by a classmate of mine when I was studying in France. If I book a table, I can get some discounts." Division Commander Chang Enduo said proudly.

"Lao Chang! You've been hiding so much!" Commander Xu Kang was surprised.

During the time they were talking, the ship that Chang Enduo had sent over had arrived at the shore.

Many soldiers were boarding the ship. Quan Jianming hesitated, he didn't know if he should board the ship.

Logically speaking, he was the commander of the fortress artillery, and at this time, he should follow the commander's orders and expand to the other side.

But from what he had seen from last night until now, it always made him feel that if he left this unit like this, he would lose something.

If he didn't leave, some officers and soldiers in the fortress wouldn't leave either.

Soon, the ship that could hold six or seven hundred people had nearly five hundred people on board.

Among them were more than two hundred people from Quan Jianming's platoon, and the remaining three hundred plus were Nationalist army soldiers who had just been fighting the Japanese in Xiagang.

These Nationalist army soldiers had been separated from their units.

They didn't expect that they would be so lucky! If this ship was crowded hard enough, it could fit another five hundred people.

But now no one was getting on the ship anymore.

The captain specially sounded the whistle to remind the swaying figures on the pier: Board the ship!

The captain had also seen with his own eyes that the Japanese planes were falling like mosquitoes being poisoned by mosquito coils.

So he dared to sound the whistle so arrogantly now. It had been almost half a year since his ship had sounded its whistle.

For the past half year, the captain had been sailing his ship in his own country, on his own country's Yangtze River, but he could only sail secretly.

He didn't dare to sail during the day, and he could only sail quietly on the Yangtze River in the cover of night, without turning on the lights.

Today, he had finally gotten his chance to stand tall and proud. He was sailing on the Yangtze River in broad daylight, and he could even sound the whistle before departure to remind those who wanted to board the ship to hurry up.

The only thing that disappointed the captain was that such a large ship was docked at the pier.

The officers and soldiers around the pier turned a blind eye to it, and they didn't board the ship anymore.

With a regretful mood, the captain began his return journey.

Division Commander Chang Enduo looked at the soldiers who had been left behind on the other side, "They really didn't board the ship."

"That's for sure, if they wanted to leave, they wouldn't have come.

Since they came, they wouldn't easily abandon those cannons and leave."

The Special Company's heavy artillery, except for the eight cannons that Lin Fan and his men were firing, had already passed through Xiagang Town.

Even the Seventh Platoon had assigned some people to follow the heavy artillery platoon.

There weren't many people left to protect these eight cannons.

Sixth Platoon Leader Ye Danian looked at the swarming Japanese cavalry regiment in the distance, "How many Japanese are those?"

The Sixth Platoon's artillery had begun to fire at full capacity.

Now the Sixth Platoon's artillerymen could fire with their eyes closed, draw circles after firing.

They could all hit the Japanese.

The Japanese charging unit stretched for at least a thousand meters.

This made Ye Danian a little conflicted, he didn't know if he should bomb first and then shoot, or shoot first and then bomb.

No matter what, they had to let these Japanese get closer before firing!

As his order was issued: All the soldiers of the Sixth Platoon were ready to fire at any time.

The heavy machine guns were still concealed, ready to give the Japanese cavalry a surprise at the most critical moment.

Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto led the 101st Cavalry Regiment at the front, and his unit had become the de facto vanguard of the entire mixed cavalry regiment.

This made Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto a little proud.

Although the unit was bombarded by artillery fire when it was still more than a thousand meters away from the opponent.

But these were all minor matters, the opponent's artillery bombardment wasn't fierce enough, and the soldiers' losses were still within a controllable range.

Besides, the opponent's artillery fire had always been fixed on the same spot, after bombing his unit, it would be the Third Cavalry Regiment and the Seventeenth Cavalry Regiment's turn to be bombed.

Thinking of this, Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto had a smile on his face.

The opposing unit was very fair, interesting.

When fighting a battle like this, shouldn't they prioritize defeating the unit at the front?

Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto didn't understand the opposing commander's intention.

Ye Daming was just fighting according to his own ideas: Anyway, they were all fighting the Japanese, and fighting any Japanese was the same.

Anyway, these Japanese all deserved to die, and they would all die.

When the Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment was able to see the opposing defenders' position, they also discovered the bodies of Imperial soldiers and scattered warhorses on the road.

The warhorses on the ground looked horrible.

The four thighs of each warhorse had all been cut off, and the hooves had also been cut off and left in place.

It wasn't just one warhorse that looked like this, but hundreds of warhorses on this road were like this.

This tragic scene completely suppressed the attention of the officers and soldiers of the Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment to their comrades who had fallen on the road.

The tragic state of the warhorses on the road also resonated with the warhorses under their crotches.

The warhorses under their crotches began to struggle, unwilling to continue forward.

How could this be?

The soldiers of the Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment were constantly comforting and kicking the warhorses under their crotches.

This was a bloody road that stretched for five hundred meters.

This bloody road slowed down the speed of the Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment by several gears.

When they finally managed to calm the warhorses, they were less than three hundred meters away from the opposing defenders.

All the warhorses of the entire Yoson Itsuro mixed cavalry regiment had undergone a psychological test.

They continued to follow their masters' orders and rushed along this bloody road with a sense of helplessness.

Based on animal instincts, these warhorses were unwilling to continue running on this road to the afterlife.

However, no matter how they resisted and struggled, they only received more severe punishment.

The spurs had pierced the skin of some warhorses' feet, causing them to bleed.

Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto saw that he was less than a hundred meters away from the opposing defenders' position.

Captain Tsuganoo Hiroto, who had already drawn his sword, shouted excitedly.

The entire Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment all shouted chaotically. Such shouts could both boost their own courage and scare the opposing defenders.

The soldiers of the entire Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment seemed to have heard the opposing defenders' scared voices.

The soldiers of the entire Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment didn't know if they heard one or countless loud noises.

Anyway, there were loud noises, and then the entire earth suddenly shook.

The warhorses under their crotches couldn't hold on anymore, they couldn't stabilize themselves.

They threw the soldiers of the Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment off their horses.

It wasn't just the Tsuganoo Hiroto regiment that was like this, but also the other two cavalry regiments behind them.

Lieutenant Colonel Yoson Itsuro, the commander of this mixed cavalry regiment, watched in stunned silence as the soldiers in front of him suddenly fell.

He couldn't believe that this was really happening.

He had been galloping on this land for so long, and it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene.

In front of him, all the way to the opposing defenders' position.

The corpses of warhorses and soldiers of the Yoson Itsuro mixed cavalry regiment had paved a bloody road.

A layer of bloody mist was rising on this road, and this mist was illuminated by the winter sun.

It seemed so strange and so unreal.

Although there were still several hundred cavalrymen behind Yoson Itsuro.

At this time, Captain Yoson Itsuro had no courage to continue moving forward.

He pointed to the defenders' position in the distance, which was spewing flames, and said with a dry throat and difficulty, "Withdraw!"

The enemy retreats, we advance! Ye Danian learned the essence of guerrilla warfare without a teacher.

He issued the same order as last time again, "Zhen Jianshu, take sixty men and quickly clear the battlefield.

Ji Feichi, Shao Haobo, and Jian Junmin, immediately replenish the depleted bombs.

Move quickly."

Zhen Jianshu pointed to the battlefield that was a kilometer long, "Platoon leader! There are so many warhorses, we don't have enough manpower."

Ye Danian ordered, "I'll add twenty more to you, no more than that."

He waved a green flag again, and soon a cavalryman rushed over.

"Report to the company commander! The Sixth Platoon needs manpower to clear the battlefield, and they need fifty helpers."

The messenger rode his warhorse and rushed out quickly.

Soon the Sixth Platoon's combat situation was reported to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan immediately ordered, "Yang Daren: The Seventh Platoon will send people and vehicles to bring back the spoils.

Order Xiagang Pier to start cooking.

Send a truckload of horse thighs over, and we'll eat them for lunch today."

He relayed the message to Ye Danian: "Continue to bury mines, not just on the road.

Bury them in all other possible places.

Prevent the Japanese from charging from other places.

Also, tell Ye Danian that if possible, he should also collect some horse lungs.

Lamb liver, horse lungs, pork large intestine!

They're all legendary good things!

We can't waste the Japanese's kindness in delivering them to our door!"

The company commander liked to eat, this was something that everyone in the Special Company knew.

The messenger said considerately, "Company commander, don't worry, if the Sixth Platoon leader doesn't get them,

I'll bring you back two baskets too."

Lin Fan scolded with a smile, "Just run your errands properly, let Ye Danian handle these things."

The Special Company now had twenty cavalrymen, and these cavalrymen all served as messengers and scouts.

Each one was a treasure.

Watching the cavalryman run off to relay the message.

Lin Fan once again missed his combat platform at that time.

The company could command every soldier in real time, and also see the real-time panoramic view of the battlefield.

The difference was too great! Ye Danian was smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth at this time, and he shouted loudly, "Go up and pass on the order: Take out all the lungs of the warhorses.

The company commander said that horse lungs are a good thing!

We can't waste them!"

They had captured more than two thousand war sabers today, and the number of carbines was about the same.

It was just that the battlefield hadn't been cleared thoroughly just now, but now they had more manpower, so the clearing was faster.

The Japanese planes that had been rampant over their heads just now had all retreated.

The Special Company's anti-aircraft guns were being transferred.

Lin Fan's latest order was also conveyed: "The interception mission is complete! We can retreat."

Ye Danian immediately ordered, "Take all the mines that were buried away.

We're leaving."

They left as soon as they said they would, without any hesitation.

Even if the battlefield hadn't been completely cleared, the Sixth Platoon didn't stay.

Ye Danian knew that the Special Company was now inside the Japanese's stomach.

If they weren't careful and were entangled by the Japanese, it would be difficult to escape.

In the battle just now, on the surface, they had fought easily and beautifully.

If these Japanese hadn't fallen into the same trap twice in a row.

This battle wouldn't have been so easy to fight.

Lin Fan came to Xiagang, and he also saw those who were watching the battle from the other side through his telescope.

He waved to the other side casually.

Commander Xu Kang was as excited as if he had seen the president, "Did you see that, Company Commander Lin is waving to me to say hello."

"Which one is Company Commander Lin?" Chang Enduo asked.

"The tallest, handsomest, sunniest, and most charismatic one on the other side is Company Commander Lin." Commander Xu Kang introduced happily.

Division Commander Chang Enduo and many senior officers of the 111th Division carefully searched among the crowd on the other side.

They really couldn't find the tall, handsome, sunny, and charismatic person from the group of soldiers who were wearing the same uniforms.

At this time, Lin Fan had already understood that it was impossible for these cannons to cross the river from here.

It was still possible for people to cross the river if they wanted to.

It was just that the Special Company had worked so hard for so long for these cannons, how could they throw them away.

After thinking for a while, Lin Fan ordered, "Raise an observation balloon two thousand meters north of Xiagang!

Establish a heavy artillery position, we won't be leaving for the time being today."

At his command, the Special Company immediately took action.

Hui Jianming asked for instructions, "Company Commander Lin! What does our platoon do?"

Lin Fan looked at him and asked, "How many people are there in your platoon?"

"Two hundred and seventy-nine people."

"Set up all the 150mm cannons and prepare to bomb!"

"What should we bomb?" Hui Jianming asked in confusion.

Lin Fan pointed to the observation balloon that was about to take off, "You'll know later."

Xu Kang and the others stayed on the other side of the river today.

Division Commander Chang even had his orderly bring over tables and chairs, and he sat down on the other side.

Lin Fan smiled when he saw the scene on the other side, and said to Ji Wudi, "Look at the other side, isn't this a case of 'the front is tight, the rear is eating tight'?" (idiom: those at the front fight while those at the back enjoy themselves)

Ji Wudi looked through the telescope and saw clearly that it was Xu Kang sitting at the table, drinking wine.

She also smiled, "Only you would dare to say that!"

The company commander could always come up with some strange but reasonable words.

"The front is tight, the rear is eating tight! The company commander is talking about those people in Nanjing, right!" Ji Wudi thought in her heart.

Soon the soldiers of the Special Company also began to "eat tight".

Ji Wudi looked at the horse meat and said to Feng Junya, "What did I say today?

It's still horse meat!"

Feng Junya said with a smile, "Why don't you become the Japanese cavalry commander next time, and make all his soldiers charge with cattle.

That way we'll have beef to eat."

Ji Wudi laughed again at this sentence.

Hui Jianming ate the horse meat, grabbed a messenger riding a warhorse and asked, "Did you kill the warhorses?"

The messenger smiled, "We killed the Japanese warhorses, don't worry, eat as much as you can.

There are still many carts, it would be a pity if they rotted before we could finish them."

Xi Tianzong silently listened to the commander talking to the messenger.

When the messenger left, he opened his mouth and said, "Commander! The people in their company are so strong.

I saw just now, they've been running around for so long.

And they're all still so energetic.

Is it because they usually eat horse meat, so they have the stamina of horses?"

Hui Jianming suppressed his laughter, "That's right, it must be like this.

Brothers! We can't compare to them in fighting for the time being, but we can't lose to them in eating.

The Special Company has a saying: Eating ability is combat ability.

It means that if you eat more, you have more strength to do things.

We're going to dig defensive trenches and set up cannons this afternoon.

Eat more now, so we'll have strength later!"

Ma Zhicheng asked worriedly, "Commander Hui! If they don't leave at this time, will they be able to leave?"

Hui Jianming didn't know the answer in his heart, but he couldn't show weakness in front of the soldiers.

He immediately said with a smile, "How is that possible, you saw the battle this morning.

So many Japanese planes were flying around in the sky, but they didn't drop a single bomb, and they didn't hit us with a single bullet.

With Company Commander Lin around, we will definitely walk back to Nanjing.

Our task now is to eat meat, eat more meat!"

Lieutenant Colonel Yoson Itsuro led the remaining three hundred plus cavalrymen of the entire mixed cavalry regiment back to Jiangyin City.

The news that the entire mixed cavalry regiment had been severely damaged was immediately reflected to the various divisions attacking Jiangyin.

Division Commander Ogizhou Riphyō received the news and immediately passed it on to the tank unit that was chasing after that unit.

He told them to be careful: the Nationalist army on the other side was not a big fish, but might be an evil dragon!

After Division Commander Nakajima Kesago of the 16th Division learned that the mixed cavalry regiment had been almost completely wiped out.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief: although the 33rd Brigade he had sent out had retreated again and again, and had been defeated again and again.

At least the organization was still there. Before receiving the news, the 33rd Brigade under his command was the least combat-effective and most useless unit in this attack on the Jiangyin Fortress.

Now he could finally send out the word "most".

For this reason, he specially and immediately telegraphed this good news to Brigade Commander Sato Kiichi.

He told him to continue to maintain his strength and to continue to promote his style of seizing opportunities.

Brigade Commander Sato Kiichi calmly analyzed the current situation of that unit.

He boldly predicted: "This unit will head towards Changzhou!

They must want to go to Zhanjiang and then return to Nanjing."

Division Commander Nakajima Kesago immediately understood what his division should do next.
