Chapter 149: Luodian Victory
"Ayuan, you haven't slept for three days and three nights!"
Volunteer Chen Qingyan looked at Jiang Shiyuan worriedly. Her face was frighteningly pale and her eyes were bloodshot.
"I'm fine. I'm going to make some more gauze bandages with hemostatic and anti-inflammatory ingredients. The soldiers all said they were very useful..."
Jiang Shiyuan's fingers mechanically wrapped around the gauze, as if he didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue.
"Ayuan, if you continue like this, your body will collapse!"
Chen Qingyan held her hand distressedly, "If Jia Ge and Uncle Jiang knew, they would be very worried about you!"
Jiang Shiyuan's hands trembled slightly and his eyes turned red again.
"I know..." She took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "But I can't stop..."
"I can save as many people as possible, but I can't let those soldiers who died for their country die in vain..."
Chen Qingyan wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Doctor Jiang, Miss Chen, something bad has happened!"
Nurse Wang rushed in in a panic, "The situation on the front line is urgent, there are too many wounded, and we need support urgently!"
"What?" Chen Qingyan and Jiang Shiyuan's faces changed and they asked in unison.
"The Japanese pirates' attack is too fierce. Our troops...our troops can't hold on any longer!" Nurse Wang's voice was filled with tears.
Jiang Shiyuan stood up suddenly and grabbed the medicine box.
"Let's go! Let's go to the front line!"
Chen Qingyan grabbed her and said anxiously: "Ayuan, Luodian is too dangerous, you can't go there!"
"I have to go!" Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were determined, "I am a doctor, I have to save people!"
"But……"
"No buts!" Jiang Shiyuan shook off her hand and rushed out without looking back.
Chen Qingyan had no choice but to carry his medicine box and hurry up.
9 month 17 day.
This was the most tragic day since the Battle of Shanghai began.
The Japanese pirates gathered heavy troops and launched a tidal attack on the Chinese army's positions under the cover of airplanes and artillery.
The Chinese soldiers fought bravely, but their weapons and equipment were too backward and they suffered heavy casualties.
Under the powerful attack of the Japanese pirates, the Chinese army had no choice but to switch to defensive operations across the board and retreat to the areas of Shanghai North Station, Jiangwan, Miaohang and Luodian to hold their ground.
The 67th Army, where Jiang Shijia was stationed, was ordered to reinforce Luodian, which had been recaptured by brave Chinese soldiers two days ago.
Luodian, located in the south of Baoshan County, is the southern gate of Baoshan County and one of the important battlefields of the Battle of Shanghai.
In order to open up the road to Shanghai, the Japanese pirates were determined to capture Luodian.
In order to defend Shanghai, the Chinese army was determined to defend Luodian again.
A brutal tug-of-war thus began.
"Report to the division commander, the Yamada Regiment of the 11th Division of the Japanese pirates, under the cover of aircraft and artillery, is launching a fierce attack on our position!"
"Reporting to the division commander, our 74th Army has suffered heavy casualties and urgently needs reinforcements!"
"Report to the division commander, the Japanese pirates' attack is too fierce, we can't hold on any longer!"
Inside the headquarters of the 67st Division of the 51th Army, telephones kept ringing and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Commander, we must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the 74th Army will not be able to hold on!" The chief of staff said anxiously to the commander of the 51st Division, Wang Yaowu.
Wang Yaowu turned to look at Jiang Shijia, the head of the 305th Regiment, and patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Xiao Jiang, you have always been smart and good at making unexpected moves. Do you have any good suggestions now?"
Jiang Shijia frowned, glanced at the map, and quickly analyzed the current battle situation in his mind.
"Commander, I suggest that we immediately move to the Caowang Temple and Dachang Town in the northwest of Luodian to build defensive fortifications to stop the attack of the Japanese pirates!"
"In addition..." Jiang Shijia paused, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "We also need to secretly order the special agent company to set off immediately to scout the enemy situation. I want to know where the Japanese pirates' baggage camp is!"
"Xiao Jiang, you want to..." Commander Wang immediately understood his intention.
"That's right, Commander!" Jiang Shijia's eyes flashed fiercely, "I'm going to adopt the strategy of 'encircling a point and attacking the reinforcements', and take away the rice bowl of the little devils first!"
Early in the morning of June 9.
The night was as dark as ink, and you couldn’t see your hand in front of you.
Jiang Shijia led the special forces company and sneaked into the heart of the Japanese pirates quietly.
"Report to the commander, the Japanese pirates' baggage camp has been spotted ahead!" a scout reported in a low voice.
"Very good!" Jiang Shijia's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Pass my order, prepare for battle!"
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
With loud bangs, the special forces company launched a fierce attack on the Japanese pirates' baggage camp.
The sleeping Japanese pirates were caught off guard and immediately became chaotic.
"Baga! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Quick! Pick up your weapons and fight back! Fight back!"
Under the command of Jiang Shijia, the special forces company was unstoppable and quickly captured the Japanese pirates' baggage camp.
In this battle, the special forces company killed hundreds of enemies and seized a large amount of weapons, ammunition, food and supplies.
When the news was passed back to the military headquarters, it immediately boosted the morale of the troops.
"Well done! The 51th Regiment of the 305st Division is truly the elite force of the 67th Army!"
"Now, let's see how arrogant the Japs can be!"
However, Jiang Shijia was not carried away by victory.
He knew this was just the beginning.
"Order the troops to evacuate immediately and prepare for the next battle!"
"Yes!"
On the afternoon of June 9th.
The Sakai Regiment of the Japanese pirate Yoshito Brigade was ordered to reinforce Luodian.
They didn't know that what was waiting for them was a carefully planned ambush.
"Report to the commander, the Japanese pirates have entered the ambush circle!"
"Okay!" Jiang Shijia's eyes flashed, "Pass my order, open fire!"
"Da da da!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Following Jiang Shijia's order, the light and heavy machine guns ambushed near Caowang Temple opened fire at the same time. Dense bullets poured out like raindrops, knocking down a large number of Japanese pirates in an instant.
"Baga! There's an ambush! There's an ambush!"
"Quick! Retreat! Retreat!"
However, it was too late.
Under the command of Jiang Shijia, the Chinese soldiers launched a fierce attack on the Japanese pirates from a high position.
The Japanese pirates were defeated in an instant, with heavy casualties, and more than a thousand of them were wiped out.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the commander of the Sakai Corps, Taro Sakai, drew his command knife and prepared to commit suicide by disembowelment.
"boom!"
A gunshot was heard and Taro Sakai fell to the ground.
Jiang Shijia, who was not far away, put down the rifle in his hand swiftly, without any hesitation in his eyes, and his brows were full of heroism.
The news of the "Luodian Victory" spread throughout Shanghai, greatly boosting the morale of the Chinese army and making Jiang Shiyuan feel a little relieved.
But she knew that the war was far from over and her brother was still in danger.
She must work harder, race against death, and provide more and more efficient battlefield rescue for the soldiers on the front line.
What she hoped even more was that she could be by her brother's side and fight alongside him!
