At that time, Hu Biao was dozing out of boredom in the polluted field hospital; in the past few days, they even spent less time outside the air-raid shelter.
Because the area currently controlled by the defenders is getting smaller and smaller, the space for movement is becoming increasingly compressed.
Now no one can guarantee that if we still stay in the outside area for activities and let loose, a Japanese cannon will fall down.
At the same time, on the 17th, Yang Dongli and his five-member team officially returned.
It's not that the fortifications in the city have been completed. This thing has a huge amount of work. How can it be completed in such a short time.
But under the current war situation, they no longer have such an environment to build with peace of mind.
Therefore, when his stomach was not full and he could not go out for a walk, what else could Hu Biao do besides taking a nap to save himself energy?
On the other hand, sitting next to him, four people, including Xiling, Mang, the translator, and Yang Dongli, were playing mahjong with the light coming from a vent.
It is said that each batch is a cigarette without a filter. I owe it for the time being, and will cash it out after it is seized in the battle. It will be a big hit.
The so-called mahjong is, of course, what these guys made out of wood chips when they were bored.
This shows how boring these people have become after holding it in for so long.
And more members of the Zhongzhou team were still chatting about why the medals and rewards that should have belonged to them after the battle at Bajialing were not yet available.
Mainly in such a situation, no matter how you think, it is abnormal.
Because of the battles that took place behind them, for example, the division commander of the 68th Division, Lieutenant General Hisato Zuma, and the Chief of Staff, Colonel Senzaburo Harada, and the mortar company of the 10th Division were seriously injured.
There are also those who have made military exploits during the Fangjiashan defense battle.
The medals and rewards for these people were airdropped soon after.
Among them, the two people with the highest merits received high-end items such as the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun, and they also had to be remembered for their great achievements.
Speaking of which! In fact, at this point, everyone in the Zhongzhou team doesn’t really care much about these vain things.
If you didn’t get it, you didn’t get it. It’s not a big deal anyway.
However, in the current boring situation, everyone is talking about it, but it is not so boring at all...
In this way, these guys stayed up until noon.
Unfortunately, what is different from the past is that the previous three meals a day for sick patients, that is, salted brown rice, are now only available for two meals a day.
Even the supply of two meals a day has been reduced from three taels before to two taels.
And just at this moment, suddenly in this air-raid shelter, an unusually loud phone ringing sounded in my ears like a reminder.
Hu Biao opened his eyes directly when the phone rang.
At such a moment, a doctor with a white coat covered in bloodstains and a tired look on his face casually picked up the phone and started talking.
Soon after, the doctor faced this side and shouted in an extremely familiar tone:
"Quick, quick, quick, Hu Tuanzuo, General Fang will ask you to answer the phone immediately."
Good guy! At this sentence, the entire Zhongzhou team was energized. Hu Biao didn't even have time to put on his shoes and just ran towards the dark, dead field phone.
The others also threw away the mahjong in their hands, stopped arguing, and looked eagerly at Hu Biao's back.
Because almost instinctively, these guys know that the second phase of their mission is coming soon.
******
Hu Biao and the others' predictions were absolutely correct. They idlers finally came to live, and it was a big job right from the start.
Hu Biao then took the call and said: "Report, I am Hu Biao of the 190th Division's Supplementary Regiment. General Fang, please give me the combat order."
Hu Biao was talking about coming to the door, and the sound of assurance was falling. General Fang's familiar voice came from the phone, but it was already a little hoarse:
"Very good! Commander Hu, now we have a very dangerous but crucial task that requires you to supplement the team to complete it. Are you confident that you can complete it?"
"Report to the general and ensure the mission is completed."
Hu Biao roared so loudly in his mouth again that his voice continued to echo in the huge air-raid shelter.
"Very good, you are worthy of being my soldier."
After hearing this, General Fang first said something approvingly, and then the conversation changed and the real drama came.
"Just now, the Military Telecommunications Department received a contact message from the 62nd Army. The other party said that the leading troops have arrived in the Huangziling area, and the closest defensive position to us is only one kilometer away.
There is no need to have any doubts about this, because Section Chief Lu of the Telecommunications Department discovered that the other party's signal is very clear, and such a situation only occurs when the distance is very close.
However, the 62nd Army declared in the message that the Japanese troops have blocked the perimeter very severely and they cannot get in at all now; so we need to send a force to take the initiative and bring them in under attack from both sides."
After saying this, General Fang paused for a moment.
After strengthening his tone, he began to emphasize: "Commander Hu, you should understand the importance of a supporting army to the city under the current situation.
Even if just one company can come in, it can inspire everyone's absolute confidence, so there must be no mistakes in such a thing.
Therefore, I ordered the 190th Division's replenishment regiment to set off immediately in 15 minutes to bring in reinforcements from the 62nd Army."
And at this moment, in fact, when General Fang's voice sounded, the system's mechanical and cold voice of Sun Tzu also came to Hu Biao's mind and announced the second phase of the mission.
Therefore, the two consecutive voices sounded, and the conflict caused Hu Biao to be a little unable to react for a while.
For a while, he did not agree to General Fang's order in time.
After General Fang misunderstood something, he said helplessly: "Commander Hu, actually I also know that your supplementary regiment is just a shelf.
In the last battle, the personnel were seriously injured, and they must not have recovered yet. However, such a mission is more difficult for you.
It's just that your supplementary regiment is the only mobile force we can find at present, so we can only count on you; if you have any requirements, as long as I can satisfy them here, in a word, I will make the decision to satisfy you."
When he arrived here, General Fang was actually mentally prepared to be chewed out by this lion.
At this point, the system voice in Hu Biao's head finally calmed down.
But Hu Biao also reacted and made a request of his own, which seemed to General Fang to be extremely considerate, sensible and not excessive at all:
"General Fang, I also know that the manpower and equipment of each unit are now used to the limit, so I really can't ask you for men and guns.
Then as long as I am allowed to temporarily select some lightly wounded people from the hospital that occupies the area here to join the supplementary group.
But this kind of thing is a taboo for friendly troops. If something happens, please ask General Fang to mediate. Otherwise, I promise to complete the mission for you.
In addition, in order to communicate during the mission, I applied for a code book that can be used to communicate with the military; there is no need for a radio, we already have one."
"It's okay. I'll help you handle these things. You can pick anyone in the hospital and the code book will be handed over to you by a dedicated person."
The roaring General Fang was full of talk about such things.
Then he hung up the phone and said to the commander of the 190th Division next to him:
"I never expected that such a Hu Biao was not as ignorant as the legend says, but he finally figured it out after being polished for several years.
If he had been as good as he is now on the Songhu battlefield, he might be a military commander now."
But General Fang, who had already learned a certain amount of the inside story, didn't know that many people in the field hospital looked at this shameless Hu Tuanzuo with contempt.
But no matter what, the second phase of the Zhongzhou team’s mission has finally begun.
