Time: 7:01 in the morning of August 28, still on the protruding position where the supplementary battalion was stationed outside Luo Dianzhu’s position.
The enemy's attack, which had been planned for a long time, was repulsed with heavy artillery bombardment and aircraft and air support.
Even Luo Dianzhu's position, with the help of a strong support point such as the salient position, successfully defended the position after suffering considerable casualties.
Comparing the original situation, Shopkeeper Luo's position would actually be captured by the Japanese in the middle of the night.
And the occupied Japanese controlled it for several hours.
It was also daytime when the 14th Division of the 15th Group Army finally arrived. After a fierce battle, with only 12 men from the 73rd Regiment left and more than half of the 79th Regiment suffering casualties, the Luodianzhu position was retaken at noon.
It can be said that the appearance of Hu Biao and others has brought about a very good improvement.
I don’t know how many of the brave warriors who died here survived in the records.
However, at this moment, Hu Biao, who had just repelled the Japanese attack, could not feel happy at all.
It’s over! After some urgent treatment and inventory after the war, when he received the statistics of the adjutant’s swordsmen, his heart immediately became cold.
The Jiangsu Provincial Security Booth Replacement Battalion, which originally had only 67 people after including the lightly wounded, was reduced by almost half after the First World War.
Don't look at it. There are still 49 people on the position who can breathe, but 15 of them are seriously injured.
Including the 12 people stationed near the rear division headquarters, the supplementary battalion now has 27 seriously wounded people, which is almost catching up with the remaining combat strength of only 34 people.
Among the 34 people in the fighting force, almost everyone has some kind of injury on his body.
Even AT, a young white-collar worker with enhanced agility due to his bloodline, one of his left arms is not as flexible as before.
What a pity! No matter how fast his body's reaction speed is, can he still be faster than a bullet?
When a Japanese machine gun with a crooked handle found this firepower point with increasingly better shooting accuracy, the two of them refused to give in and started to fight.
In the end, although the AT killed the Japanese shooter, a bullet also scratched a long wound on his left arm.
That is to say, this guy's ability based on the "Primary Bloodline of the Vampire" allows him to recover much faster than ordinary people. Otherwise, in the next battle, his left arm will be considered useless.
But in the past few hours, his left arm has become very stiff.
The reason? It makes me feel really distressed when I move.
Fortunately, there is still some good news in such statistics.
That is, including the seriously injured, there are currently 26 people alive in the netizen team. Compared with the minimum 15 people allowed to survive in the second phase of the mission, they still have a death target of 11 people.
In addition, almost all of Hu Biao’s DIY weapons, the best ones, were displayed in the previous battles.
Then the question becomes, with the remaining No. 34 people and their almost exposed methods, can they survive until 3 o'clock in the morning on the 29th?
All in all, there are still almost 17 hours left; the grandson of the system is talking nonsense, this is simply an impossible task...
Of course! The system will definitely not give out tasks that cannot be completed.
When Hu Biao was in dire straits, the situation took a huge turn.
Dang Chi, who was leading people to take charge of the security mission, suddenly shouted at Hu Biao: "Old Hu, look quickly, there is a new situation."
When Hu Biao heard such a voice, he thought that the Japanese who had just retreated started to attack again.
It was also when he picked up the rifle in a hurry that he realized that it was a misunderstanding.
Because the people coming were coming from the rear position of the protrusion, there were about 80 people in total, and they were carrying a small amount of supplies on their shoulders.
The leading figure among them is the messenger of the third battalion commander, their somewhat familiar little brother Peng Ji.
It seems that the third battalion commander has made up his mind and is determined not to appear in front of Hu Biao, who he once underestimated, so as not to embarrass himself.
Since he had the same nostalgia for Nantong as Hu Biao, the messenger brother Peng Ji ran into the position out of breath, with a look of excitement on his face.
It was a "swipe~" gesture, and it was a military salute given to Hu Biao.
Another sentence came out of his mouth: "Report to the regiment leader Hu, Private Peng Ji has been ordered to lead the reinforcements to arrive. Please give the order to the regiment leader."
Even after he finished speaking, the boy took out a thick stack of letters of appointment from the canvas bag that he was carrying.
Yes, that's right! That's a lot of chapters, a thick stack.
A confused Hu Biao took a look at these letters of appointment, and with Peng Ji's continuous explanations at the side, Hu Biao finally figured out what was going on.
It can be said that the battle situation in the Luodian area is now being watched closely by the senior officials.
As a result, the elite 11th Division was unable to provide reinforcements in a short period of time due to some reasons. The big bosses were worried about the tense battle situation, and it was time to get angry.
The result? Good news came from the front line that after a night, the position was still under our control.
So all of a sudden, all the troops that participated in the defense of Luo Shopkeeper's position were commended by the superior officers.
Among them, the Supplementary Battalion, a cannon fodder unit that held the position in the salient and performed blindly, even though part of the credit was shared by the 67th Division, a lot of benefits still fell on them.
For example:
First, Commander Hu of the Supplementary Battalion was promoted from Fire Line to Battalion Commander, and now he is the deputy commander of the Supplementary Battalion in Jiangsu Province, with a serious rank of lieutenant colonel.
So what! The deputy leader is also the leader, right?
Therefore, when Hu Biao was called Hu Tuanzuo, it was not an exaggeration.
It is said that when one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, even the commendation of the lieutenant colonel commander was thrown out by the senior officer department, and all the supplementary battalion officers who Hu Biao had reported to before were promoted one after another.
This is also the biggest reason why Hu Biao got such a stack of letters of appointment that didn't even seem to have dry ink.
Anyway, after such a stack of letters of appointment were distributed by Hu Biaoxin’s men, all the netizens started laughing.
Yang Dongli became the major battalion commander, Xu Feng became the captain company commander, Jason, Swordsman and other veterans were at least lieutenants.
Even newbies like Fat Paper and Qingshan can have the rank of second lieutenant and the position of platoon leader.
By the way! Such frivolous titles and positions are actually of little use in serious calculation, and they have no effect on their current tasks, but they feel great if they can't stand up to these things.
What the heck, after decades of being cowardly in the modern plane, these guys have grown in size now.
The reason why the Chief Officer Department is so generous is that Hu Biao's analysis believes that the Luodian battle situation is important on one hand, and the no-name attribute of the Su Province Security Corps itself is also a key aspect.
Even if Hu Biao has the title of Security Commander on his head, he is still a salty fish in the eyes of those big shots.
Second, there are some practical benefits.
Although reinforcements from the 14th Division arrived, they only arrived in a small part, which was not enough to hold the fiercely contested Luodianzhu position.
Therefore, Hu Biao and the others still need to continue to stick here and wait for more supporting troops to arrive.
However, the commander-in-chief had considered that for such a cannon fodder battalion, although it had achieved a brilliant record, the casualties must be horrific.
Since they wanted the horses to run, of course they couldn't deny them any grass, even the worst fodder.
Therefore, the 80 or so people brought up with Peng Ji this time all supplemented Hu Tuanzuo's troops.
Just kidding! Of course not.
Among the 80 or so people, only 53 were supplementary troops. Most of them came from the Magic City Security Corps that was disbanded in the previous battle, and a small number were directly from the police force.
But in general, these people have all been on the battlefield and are much better than the original farmers in the supplementary camp.
And with the addition of these 53 people, Hu Tuanzuo's strength once again reached the level of more than half a company, and he felt that his waist straightened up instantly.
As long as there is a steady stream of reinforcements, he will have the confidence to stay here.
The other 30 or so people were wearing various uniforms, and they were auxiliary personnel who came up to deliver supplies and take the wounded down with them. Their work was of the same nature as Hu Biao's before...
Because they didn't know when the Japanese would attack again, Hu Biao and the others quickly adjusted their mood.
The seriously injured among the indigenous people were evacuated along with the auxiliary personnel, leaving only the netizens who were still struggling in the cellar to complete the system tasks.
The remaining people ate some of the self-heating rations donated by Hu Biao and nibbled on some steamed buns that were not too hard.
Then, naturally, I started to prepare for the battle bit by bit.
Original Sin, who was sitting on his buttocks, commanded his assistant shooter to add some blood-red water into the cooling sleeve of the Civilian 24 heavy machine gun.
There is no way! Because of the fierce fighting, there is blood flowing everywhere now, and there is no clean water on the battlefield.
