Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

But what Gu Tianxiang didn't expect was that the Sakura Kingdom gave him a big gift that night.

As the day wore on and around 11 o'clock in the night, it started to rain heavily on Tsushima Island.

Throughout Daxia's landing site, most of the soldiers had begun to rest, except for some soldiers who were still keeping watch at night.

At this time, in the dense forest a few hundred meters away from Daxia's camp, some soldiers from the Sakura Kingdom were crouching in the dense forest wearing camouflage thatch, secretly observing the situation on Daxia's side.

Tanaka Keita, captain of the Tanaka Regiment of the 21st Division, was also lying in the mud in disguise, observing the situation in Daxia with binoculars.

A smile appeared on his face when he saw only a few soldiers keeping vigil. In his opinion, the military department asked them to defend Tsushima Island, which was a very difficult task.

At the same time, he also knew that if he really just defended, how long could he defend?

Only by taking the initiative and launching night attacks can we gain the advantage.

When daylight comes, they can hide in the mountains. At night, the difference in weapons between the two sides is not so obvious.

Moreover, he felt that he had received the blessing of Amaterasu today, and this heavy rain could better help them hide.

"Your Excellency, Captain, when will we launch the attack?" Yamane on the side asked Tanaka Keita forever.

Tanaka Keita looked at his watch, and then said: "It's only 12 o'clock at midnight, wait three hours, 3 o'clock in the morning, and launch the attack on time."

"Wait another three hours? Your Excellency, I'm worried that if we wait another three hours, the soldiers' physical strength will not be able to support the battle."

"And now, it's still raining heavily. If the soldiers continue to wait for three hours in the heavy rain, I'm afraid many people will get sick by then." Yamane said forever.

"Haga!" Tanaka Keita heard Yamane Eternal's words and immediately cursed, and then continued: "How can the warriors of the empire be so fragile?"

"Can it be that just rain can defeat the empire's warriors?"

After scolding, Tanaka Keita calmed down a little, and then said: "I know everything you said, but is there anything we can do now?"

"You saw the Daxia people's firepower yesterday afternoon. We can't stop the Daxia people in a frontal battle."

"We can only launch a night attack to take advantage of their unpreparedness and give them some blows. Otherwise, how can we successfully complete the mission assigned to us by the empire?"

After hearing what Tanaka Keita said, Yamane never spoke. He knew that what Tanaka Keita said was true.

In this situation, time passed little by little, and the soldiers of the Sakura Kingdom hiding in the grass were all shivering with cold.

Although it is already May, even in May, it is easy to feel cold when lying on the ground when it is raining.

Finally, the hour hand reached three o'clock in the morning. Under the command of Tanaka Keita, the soldiers of the Tanaka Regiment climbed up from the grass where they were hiding one by one. With mud all over their bodies, they moved towards the Daxia Military Camp. come over.

At this time, the Daxia soldiers responsible for keeping watch were hiding in tents built with tarpaulins. Look outside.

The soldiers responsible for the night watch were actually very sleepy at this time. But the responsibility makes them still hold on.

A veteran next to him saw that the observing soldier was a little sleepy. He poured a cup of hot coffee from the kettle next to him and handed it to him.

The younger soldier took the cup and took a sip.

"You're tired. Let's change if you're tired." The veteran said to the soldier.

The young soldier shook his head and said to the veteran: "No, Brother Gong, you can go to sleep. You will be guarding me for the first half of the night. I'll be fine if I wake up."

The soldier named Brother Gong smiled when he heard the young soldier's words, and then said, "I'm used to it."

Brother Gong also poured himself a cup of coffee, and then continued: "Life is much better now than before. When we used to watch the night, we would just wear a raincoat and lie on the ground wherever there was any tent."

"It's not like now, there's coffee and hot water."

The young soldier, after hearing Brother Gong's words, turned back and looked at Brother Gong.

"Brother Gong, tell me about your past. I heard that you joined the army since the last war?" The young soldier looked at Brother Gong and asked.

"You have joined the army since the last war. Logically speaking, you should be an officer now. Why are you still like us?"

When Brother Gong heard the young soldier's words, he suddenly fell into memories.

He had indeed been in the army since World War I, but by that time, it was already the end of the war.

He had performed missions with the Southern Army in Southeast Asia and had achieved military exploits. Logically speaking, at his age, he should either be promoted to an officer or retire directly.

However, he was originally an orphan with no family. Coupled with some other things that happened in the middle, this led to him staying in the army.

Now he is just a master sergeant, responsible for guiding new people.

The soldier who was responsible for the night vigil with him today was also brought out by him hand in hand.

Brother Gong was about to say something, but his face suddenly froze, and then he raised a finger and put it to his mouth.

"Shh! There's something moving." Brother Gong said softly, and then lay down next to the young soldier.

He raised his telescope and looked outside.

"What's wrong? Brother Gong?" The young soldier didn't know what was going on and asked Brother Gong directly.

"Stop talking and get ready!" Brother Gong said softly.

According to the military regulations of Daxia, lighting lamps is not allowed during night vigils, so the observation point where Brother Gong and the others are now is actually a hidden sentry.

Brother Gong relied on his own experience and intuition to feel that someone was approaching outside the camp.

At this time, they were not exposed, and he needed to observe quietly.

Not long after Brother Gong raised the telescope, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky. With the light of the lightning for a few tenths of a second, Brother Gong could clearly see a group of soldiers from the Sakura Kingdom, leaning towards the camp. Come.

Their backs were covered with weeds, and if it weren't for the bayonets on the rifle muzzles in their hands reflecting the light of lightning, he probably wouldn't have been able to spot them.

At this time, the soldiers of the Sakura Kingdom were less than 400 meters away from the camp, and they were densely packed in a large area.

Brother Gong immediately realized that this was Sakura Country preparing for a sneak attack.

Thinking of this, Brother Gong dropped the binoculars, grabbed an assault rifle nearby, pulled the bolt, and started shooting outside.

The crisp sound of gunfire suddenly broke through the tranquility of the rainy night, and also alerted the observation posts in several other directions.

Suddenly, crackling gunshots rang out violently.
