Battalion Commander Shen Han's report reached Lin Fan immediately, finally setting his mind at ease.

Squadron Leader Oguri Isoroku was leading his men toward the riverbank.

Just as they reached the river, a flare shot up, exposing more than twenty Japanese soldiers completely in the water.

They were met with a dense barrage of machine-gun fire.

Brigade Commander Shirota Hayato and his group were running a bit slower, and they had just reached the shore when their figures were also revealed.

However, they weren't in the river and still had places to hide.

Next, their position was also illuminated as bright as day by flares, and mortar shells and infantry cannon shells followed like shadows.

At the same time, countless machine-gun bullets swept over.

The area around their camp behind them was now also as bright as day, the bombardment of the camp having ended.
