Chapter 401 Attacking Er City
In the end, Zhao Hongying did not get the position of company commander as she had hoped.
Inside Black Tiger Stronghold.
Yang Ningyu looked at Bai Luo, who was busy performing surgery on the wounded not far away.
He's still feeling dizzy; tonight's events have had a significant impact on him.
"Minister Bai, is there anything your little division commander's nephew can't do? How did such a young child become a division commander?"
After his initial shock, Yang Ningyu posed a profound question.
Bai Xiumei, who was standing next to Yang Ningyu, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
Then a long silence ensued, and just when Yang Ningyu thought he would never get an answer, Bai Xiumei slowly opened her mouth.
"I don't know either. But the child is grown up and has his own secrets. What I need to do now is support him."
Yang Ningyu's lips twitched upon hearing this, as he looked at Bai Luo, who was standing on a stool performing surgery on his subordinate.
It seems he's been holed up in the woods for too long; now even teenagers are considered adults.
At this moment, Bai Luo was unaware that Bai Xiumei and the others were talking about him behind his back.
He's currently extremely busy, performing surgery on the previously wounded bandits.
Moreover, they were busy until after 2 a.m. before they finished treating all the seriously injured people who needed emergency treatment.
The rest, Bai Luo left to Li Tiantian and the others.
Silly Bear and Silly Girl, who had been waiting nearby, ran to Bai Luo as soon as he finished his work. Silly Bear, with his curly hair, immediately ran to Bai Luo.
He began his accusations while muttering to himself.
Bai Luo was also amused by the bear's new look, having already learned about the incident from Qin Lan.
Bai Luo looked at the silly bear standing in front of him, gesturing wildly with its two claws, and promised it that he would find a way to perm its fur back when they got back.
At the same time, he promised the silly girl next to him that he would get her a new cat-shaped car when they got back, which finally calmed the silly girl down.
Yang Ningyu, who was not far from Bai Luo, suddenly realized why the mechanized battalion's arm patch looked so familiar after seeing the silly bear.
Isn't the design on those epaulets a silly bear?
"Auntie, have you finished checking the supplies? Is there anything else you need?"
After comforting the silly bear, Bai Luo went to Bai Xiumei's side.
"The supplies you sent are enough to sustain us for a long time; we are not short of anything for the time being."
"But you, little radish, you've been traveling and then busy most of the night. Don't you want to rest first?"
Bai Xiumei took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the bloodstains that Bai Luo had accidentally gotten on his face, saying with some heartache.
"Auntie, I'm not going to rest. Uncle Zhang just sent me a message."
I need to get back immediately. Also, we might take action against Er City ahead of schedule, so Aunt, you should also be prepared.
"So fast, but with such heavy snow, it's difficult to even walk in the snow outside. Won't this affect your operations?"
After hearing Bai Luo's words, Bai Xiumei asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Although our operation has been affected, so has the Japanese. In fact, the Japanese are going to take action against the civilians they kidnapped earlier."
Seeing that Bai Luo was so confident, and that he really couldn't ignore the lives of those people, Bai Xiumei said no more.
After Bai Luo left Li Tiantian, Wang Wen, and Wang Wu behind for further treatment.
Bai Luo, along with Silly Girl, Silly Bear, and Qin Lan, rushed back to the camp overnight.
The mechanics battalion also traveled back to camp together.
Because there wasn't enough room in the snowmobile, Zhao Hongying, being injured, had to lie down in the sled at the back of the snowmobile.
As for why we're in such a rush...
That was because Zhang Qing sent a message that the Japanese army's communication and power lines to the outside world in Ershi had all been destroyed by the heavy snow, and the city itself had also suffered a snow disaster.
Most importantly, the Japanese spread the word again that if they did not see their commander by the morning of the day after tomorrow, they would massacre the civilians they had previously captured.
However, the Japanese soldiers in Ershi have now cut off all contact with the outside world, which is a rare opportunity for Bai Luo and his group, so Bai Luo plans to rush back overnight.
Furthermore, the War Bear Division has been notified to begin assembling at the New 9th Army camp.
Around 9 a.m., Bai Luo and his group finally arrived at the camp.
Zhang Qing was also waiting there early on.
"Xiao Luo, you're finally back! How did it go with your aunt... Hey, why is Silly Bear's fur all curly?"
As Zhang Qing was talking, he noticed the silly bear following behind Bai Luo, who was almost as curly as a bear.
Upon hearing this, Silly Bear turned around and left, leaving only his bulky back view for a somewhat bewildered Zhang Qing.
"Uncle Zhang, what exactly is the situation in Er City right now?"
After hearing Bai Luo's question, Zhang Qing turned away from looking at the silly bear and explained the current situation in Er City.
"The city is in chaos right now. This blizzard is just too heavy. Many people's houses have been crushed, and even some Japanese military camps in the city have been affected."
Furthermore, since we captured Jujiro Itai, the Japanese haven't appointed a new commander.
You accidentally killed the Japanese soldier who was acting as commander last time.
The Japanese soldiers in Ershi are now leaderless, and...
At this moment, Bai Luo was constantly processing the information brought by Zhang Qing in his mind.
A rough plan slowly began to emerge in Bai Luo's mind.
After a long silence, Bai Luo took a deep breath and said.
"Attack Er City at midnight tonight."
Zhang Qing and Zhang Yunhai, who were standing next to him, were both very excited when they heard Bai Luo make the decision. The northern province had been ravaged by the Japanese soldiers for so many years.
Now we can finally launch a counterattack.
"Young Master, give the order. How should we fight?"
But what Bai Luo said next shocked Zhang Qing and Zhang Yunhai.
"I plan to capture all the Japanese soldiers in Ershi alive, and then... massacre them!"
As Bai Luo slowly uttered the last word, Zhang Yunhai and Zhang Qing immediately shuddered.
It's 10 p.m.
With the tank regiment leading the way, the remaining four regiments of the War Bear Division finally arrived at the camp of the New 9th Army.
The artillery regiment of the War Bear Division was left in Manqi Town, partly because they were not needed for the time being.
Another reason is that transporting the artillery regiment's cannons in this kind of weather is just too troublesome.
So Bai Luo left them behind to guard the house.
12 points in the early hours.
At this moment, the heavy snowfall had gradually stopped.
As the last snowflake fell from the sky.
Slowly, dense crowds appeared at the west and south gates of Er City.
The combined number of people on both sides is estimated to be over ten thousand.
These two groups were none other than the Zhanxiong Division and the militia that Zhang Qing had secretly formed, now renamed the New First Division.
Don't let the fact that this unit is newly formed fool you; its combat effectiveness is by no means weak.
All the mid-to-low-level commanders were battle-hardened veterans whom Zhang Qing had painstakingly sought out, and they all possessed a certain level of command ability.
In addition, Bai Luo would occasionally go and explain some practical tactics to them.
They have now become qualified commanders.
The more than 5000 soldiers under his command were also well-trained.
However, whether it's a mule or a horse, it still needs to be put to the test, and today is the first real combat exercise for the New First Division.
Meanwhile, Zhao Hongying, who couldn't stay idle, learned that there would be a big battle tonight.
He climbed straight out of his hospital bed and clung to Bai Luo, insisting on participating in this battle that would be recorded in history.
Bai Luo finally gave in to her pleading and, after confirming that there were no signs of her injuries worsening, agreed to the arrangement.
Zhao Hongying successfully entered the New First Division.
Only now did she belatedly realize that the mysterious team she initially wanted to join was actually Bai Luo and his group.
In order not to bury Zhao Hongying's talent, Bai Luo made an exception and arranged for her to be a junior commander.
He became the squad leader of the 1st Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Division.
