At four o'clock in the morning, with more than half an hour left until daybreak, Qin Gang got up early to check the post.
In the past few days, fierce fighting has been going on in Yangshupu District, but the Japs in Longhua, Zhabei, and Hongkou directions have died down again and have not launched any large-scale attacks. For example, in Zhabei, they were only squadron-sized for several days.
The attack did not put much pressure on the fourth battalion at all.
However, for some reason, Qin Gang felt vaguely uneasy.
Qin Gang would never forget that four days ago, the Japanese launched large-scale attacks on Zhabei, Longhua and Hongkou. Only the direction of Yangshupu was silent. As a result, an entire infantry regiment launched a large-scale attack on Yangshupu the next day. If not
The regiment leader led Langya to rush over for reinforcements in time, and Yangshupu fell!
Therefore, Qin Gang was very worried that this was another Japanese attack.
After spending half an hour, Qin Gang went around to various sentry posts and found that everything was normal.
However, Qin Gang's inner uneasiness did not ease at all, so he walked to the Suzhou River alone and started smoking facing the steamy river surface. He had to stroke carefully to see where there were any omissions.
If there are any omissions, they must be made up in time, and the Japanese must not take advantage of them.
While I was thinking hard, there was suddenly a sound of light footsteps behind me.
Qin Gang looked back and saw a slim and pretty figure walking towards him.
Seeing this beautiful figure, Qin Gang's eyes immediately lit up. The person who came was his partner. Liu Xin, the instructor of the fourth battalion, was a big beauty, and she was also the only female instructor among the eight main camps! With the group
Liu Mei, director of the Political Department, and Jiang Nan, deputy director of the Political Department and head of the Intelligence Division, are also known as the three golden flowers of the Songhu Independent Regiment.
However, Liu Mei and Jiang Nan are already married to famous ladies, while only Liu Xin is still single.
Therefore, it was inevitable that Liu Xin became the target of pursuit by all the battalion-level cadres of the Independent Regiment. However, among all the suitors, Qin Gang had a unique advantage.
Those who are near water and towers first get the moon. This is an advantage that others do not have.
After getting along with each other for several months, Qin Gang could clearly feel that Liu Xin had a crush on him, so he was already secretly planning the final general attack. He would only start to capture the final hilltop after the third Battle of Songhu.
"Old Qin, is it so early?" Liu Xin also saw Qin Gang and walked over naturally.
"Xiao Liu, it's cold by the river, so don't catch a cold." After Qin Gang said that, he took off his military uniform and put it on Liu Xin. However, he only wore a vest, showing off his bulging pecs and biceps.
It's all shown, yes, this guy did it deliberately. When it comes to bodybuilding, the people in the independent group who can beat him can be counted with a slap.
Liu Xin tilted her head slightly, pretending to appreciate the scenery on the river, but did not refuse.
Qin Gang was secretly happy. This was another obvious sign. Last time he went to the group leader to ask about the timing. The group leader told him that when the other party doesn't mind having physical contact with you, it means the heat is up. Although now,
It's not considered physical contact, but it can be considered indirect physical contact. After all, this is his military uniform.
Qin just wanted to try to see if there could be real physical contact, but Liu Xin suddenly turned her head.
Qin Gang's extended hand immediately retracted like an electric shock, pretending to be hot and fanning it, and said: "It's really hot today, it's so hot."
Liu Xin burst out laughing. She had just told her not to catch a cold, but when she turned around, she said it was too hot today.
However, Liu Xin did not expose Qin Gang's lies and asked in a low voice: "Old Qin, do you feel it?"
"What do you feel?" Qin Gang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was feeling. He broke away from the charming atmosphere before, nodded and said, "I thought I was the only one who felt something was wrong, but it turns out you feel the same way.
.”
Liu Xin hummed and said, "I just think the little devils in Zhabei are too quiet, unusually quiet!"
"I also think that the kid's behavior is so abnormal, and there must be some conspiracy." Qin Gang said, "But I just can't figure out what kind of dirty trick the kid can use?" After a pause, Qin Gang continued, "
Just now I sorted out our defense system by myself by the river, and there are no loopholes!"
"Yes, the streets and alleys of Zhabei are covered with our fortifications, and even the roofs are covered with our guard posts. Even if the little devil wants to put up a ladder and climb up to the house, he can't get there." Liu
Xin paused for a moment when he said this, turned to look at the Suzhou River under the night sky and said, "If we want to talk about loopholes, I'm afraid this is the Suzhou River."
"Suzhou River?" Qin Gang chuckled, but the next moment, his eyes widened.
Qin Gang's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted out loud: "Suzhou River? Suzhou River!"
"No way?" Liu Xin still couldn't believe it, and said, "The Japanese won't really attack along the Suzhou River, right?"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst!" Qin Gang said in a deep voice, "No, our defense system must be rebuilt, especially the defense on both sides of the Suzhou River must be strengthened. Xiao Liu, hurry up..."
However, before Qin Gang finished speaking, he suddenly heard a faint sound of "crash".
"What's the sound?" Qin Gang's ears immediately stood up, and Liu Xin also listened intently.
But when the two listened carefully, they couldn't hear it anymore. Could it be an illusion just now?

It was not an illusion, the Japanese really came down the Suzhou River.
The deputy commander of the Second Guards Infantry Regiment, Shigeichi Imedekawa, personally led a Guards Infantry Brigade, took a gunboat of the Navy's inland fleet, and quietly infiltrated along the Suzhou River. In order to hide his presence, the Japanese Navy also closed all the
The gunboat's power system allowed the Japanese soldiers to use wooden oars to push down the water.
The "crash" sound that Qin Gang heard just now was accidentally made by the Japanese soldiers while paddling.
Because of this, Imidegawa Shigeichi turned around and glared at the Japanese soldier fiercely. The Japanese soldier gave him a heavy slap and was very careful when paddling again.
Under the cover of night, the twenty gunboats of the Japanese navy's inland fleet formed a long snake formation and silently walked eastward along the Suzhou River. Imadegawa Shigeru stood on the bow of the first gunboat with a saber in one hand.
, even his breathing was almost stagnant. Even though this little devil had experienced many battles, he could not help but feel nervous at this moment.
I don’t know how long it took, but a faint fish belly white suddenly appeared in the eastern sky. Then, Imidegawa Shigeichi saw the huge figure of Chinachem Building in the first light of dawn. He saw the figure of Chinachem Building, and the hanging figure of Imadegawa Shigeichi.
My heart finally fell back into my stomach, Chinachem Tower was already in sight, and the Bund Park was not far away!
Imadekawa Shigeichi slowly drew out his saber and pointed the tip of the saber towards the north bank of the Suzhou River.
The next moment, twenty gunboats slowed down and moved closer to the north bank of the Suzhou River.
Almost at the same time, Qin Gang and Liu Xin also saw the gunboat suddenly appearing on the Suzhou River.
Dawn, like sunlight, spreads downward from the sky, so Imidekawa Shigeichi saw the Chinachem Building earlier, and then the darkness on the Suzhou River gradually dissipated. Only then did Qin Gang and Liu Xin see dozens of dark gunboats suddenly coming from the Suzhou River.
Qin Gang was immediately taken aback when he saw clearly the pattern of plaster painted on the side of the gunboat.
"Japanese!" Qin Gang was surprised and immediately shouted, "Japanese, Xiao Liu, run!"
Almost at the same time, Imadegawa Shigeichi, who was standing on the bow of the gunboat, also saw Qin Gang. The next moment, the raised saber fell down without hesitation: "Throw the silk to change, throw the silk to change..."
The side machine guns of the two gunboats in front opened fire violently at the same time, and the hot bullets were like dense raindrops, pouring towards Qin Gang and Liu Xin.

Yangshupu District, the front line.
Xu Rui led a team of wolf fangs and was launching a harassment battle against the little devils on the opposite side.
In the past three days, the Japs attacked during the day and the Seventh Battalion defended. However, at night, the situation immediately reversed and turned into a large-scale attack by Langya, while the Japs struggled to defend. The number of Langya was not large, and every day
At most, only a few people can attack each time, but the combat effectiveness is very strong. They often beat the little devils to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, which is extremely miserable.
Tonight, it happened to be Xu Rui's turn to personally lead a sniper team into action.
Xu Rui focused on a five-story building. This building was at the forefront of both sides' front lines and belonged to the salient. There was about a small team of Japanese soldiers stationed in this building!
Xu Rui ordered the other four snipers of the sniper team to ambush on the left and right sides of the building. If any Japs came from behind for reinforcements, they would be killed. Then he took Xiao Taohong and sneaked in under the cover of night.
When we got to that building, we started from the ground floor and went up floor by floor, eliminating the little devils one by one.
At this moment, Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong have advanced to the fourth floor. There are still a dozen or so Japs stationed in the building. They use machine guns to block the only stairway from the fourth floor to the fifth floor. They are resisting stubbornly. The Japs behind are
Although they wanted to come up for reinforcements, they were suppressed by the sniper team at the intersection ahead, making it impossible to come up.
Xu Rui signaled to Xiao Taohong, who immediately dragged over a Japanese corpse.
Xu Rui took the corpse of the Japanese from Xiao Taohong's hands and threw it up from the stairs with a little force. The next moment, fierce gunshots were heard from the corridor at the entrance of the stairs. Xu Rui immediately closed his eyes and turned off his hearing.
His luck reached its peak, and a moment later, he had determined the approximate location of a dozen little Japs through the sound of gunshots.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Rui typed another set of sign language to Xiao Taohong, and Xiao Taohong returned the received gesture.
The next moment, Xu Rui climbed up the guardrail, then pushed hard with both feet, and his long body jumped up from the guardrail. This jump was three to four meters high, and he passed five meters at the muzzle of the gun.
The moment he reached the guardrail of the building, Xu Rui pulled the trigger and fired violently from the submachine gun on his chest, spraying a dense barrage of bullets at the Japanese inside.
