Chapter 618 Bloody Battle (21)

After the explosion of Guanghuamen, the city wall around 200 meters around Guanghuamen collapsed. Zhu Zaiting pushed away the guards on his body, got up and looked around, and immediately realized what happened.He looked around in a blink of an eye, and saw that most of the people around him looked ignorant, and some of them were even pale from the shock, looking devastated.He knew what the Japanese army would do after the city wall was blasted.The Japanese army had a numerical advantage, and they were planning to move. Once they occupied the ruins of the city wall, they would not be able to resist with a little force on their side.So the best thing to do now is to seize the ruins before the Japanese army. He was anxious and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" Then, he drew his pistol, climbed up the ruins and rushed towards the ruins of the city wall.

Zhu Zaiting was a majestic brigade commander. He took the lead, and the Sichuan soldiers behind him were the first to wake up, and immediately chased after him with shouts.As soon as the Sichuan soldiers moved, the student soldiers naturally understood Zhu Zaiting's intentions, picked up their weapons and rushed forward amidst the yelling of the middle and low-level officers at all levels.

Zhu Zaiting didn't know, and neither did Ouyang Yun, that Ji Zhu Liangfu's sudden appearance was caused by the battle on the water in Xiaguan yesterday afternoon.

Of the four gunboats, two directly entered the Dragon King's Mansion, and two were actually captured.And according to the information sent back from Nanjing earlier, the Chinese did not even use their ships—this is really unbelievable in the eyes of Matsui Iwane and other old devils.Matsui's first reaction at the time was: Is the Xuebing Army really that powerful?
As soon as the Nanjing offensive and defensive battle started, the Japanese army had already grasped the details of the Nanjing defenders.After learning that the Chinese army staying in Nanjing was actually dominated by the Xuebing Army, Matsui Iwane felt that the battle in Nanjing would be very difficult.However, he had never fought against Ouyang Yun, and even though he had heard rumors that some of the student soldiers were "powerful", he thought it was just an excuse made by some officers to shirk their responsibilities.Therefore, he did not pay too much attention.However, in the evening of the same day, when he was about to have dinner, a piece of military newspaper came, and the old devil was immediately dumbfounded.

The 15th squadron of the Third Fleet actually ran out of ink.This is not enough to surprise him, after all, China also has a large navy, and escaped the fate of being destroyed in Jiangyin Fortress.What he never expected was that the military newspaper said that the Chinese did not dispatch the navy, and that it was a small group of infantry that wiped out the 15th team.

Matsui had just read the battle report, and his first reaction was that someone below had lied about the military situation, and he couldn't help being furious.But when the second battle report came, he saw that the troops besieging Nanjing had not only made no progress but also suffered huge losses, so he believed that what was reported in the first military report was actually true.After reading the two military newspapers, the old devil was not in the mood to eat anymore, so he got up and went directly to the headquarters, and then asked the officer on duty to find out all the information about the student army for him to read.

The old devil spent two and a half hours reading the glorious deeds of the Xue Bingjun, and the more he watched, the more chilling he became. Then, he sat in his office and thought hard for more than an hour. At around eight o'clock, he shouted Here comes Chief of Staff Kumayoshi Harada.

When Harada Kumayoshi saw Matsui, the latter was writing at his desk with a tense face.He bowed respectfully and shouted: "Your Excellency, Commander!?"

Matsui stopped writing, looked up at him, and said, "Harada, have you read all the battle reports sent today?"

Harada nodded and said: "Yes. Your Excellency, Commander, I was very surprised that the 15th Squadron of the Third Fleet was exhausted. I asked the sergeant who was in charge of the reconnaissance mission in detail, and based on my knowledge of the Chinese army, I can now conclude that , The Chinese army that attacked the 15th team should be the Spike Team of the Xuebing Army. Your Excellency, do you know the battle that the old 108th Division fought in Tianjin? Yes, it was this volunteer team that attacked the old 108th Division The headquarters of the regiment also captured Kenji Doihara, which led to the defeat of the entire division. The Xuebing Army was not established for a long time, but because of its founder Ouyang Yun's hatred of Japan, from the beginning of its establishment to the Now, the army of apprentices has become the biggest obstacle to His Majesty's Great East Asia cause. Please forgive me, under the current situation, it is no longer realistic to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Chinese army. I think the focus of our army should now be on Ouyang Yun and On Xue Bingjun—Ouyang Yun was appointed by Lao Jiang as the commander of the Nanjing garrison, which just gave our army a chance to annihilate him."

Matsui nodded and said: "You're right. Ouyang Yun and his apprentice army have indeed become the empire's confidantes. I asked the 18th Division to attack Pukou. The original intention was to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Chinese people. In the Nanjing area, but now it seems that this plan is no longer feasible. Ouyang Yun is indeed a rare and handsome man. He even deployed a division in Wuhu in advance, so that our army can quickly capture Wuhu's plan However, if there is a loss, there is a gain. Judging from the movement of the main force in China, the Nationalist Government has already abandoned Nanjing. The Xuebing Army is now guarding Nanjing, but it is only to delay the retreat of the main force. Since they dare to stay, then we I took advantage of the situation and wiped them all out. Come, take a look at this new battle plan... My idea is that we must allow the siege troops to break through the outer defense line as soon as possible. Only in this way can the student army be held back. At the same time, I will The 18th Division temporarily gave up attacking Chu County, and waited for an opportunity to re-attack Pukou. As long as the 19th Division captures Pukou, then the Xuebing Army will be unable to escape."

It was precisely because of Matsui Iwane's new battle plan that the pressure on the Japanese army's siege troops increased greatly, which forced Yoshitake Ryosuke to come up with such a vicious one.

And if Zhu Zaiting hadn't acted decisively and led his troops to the ruins of the city wall, then his desperate gamble would have been very likely to succeed.Once the city wall was successfully blasted, the devils from the two brigades of the Japanese army who had been ambushing 300 meters away immediately launched a fierce attack on the Zhonghua Gate under the order of Ryosuke Yoshizuka.

I don't know how many explosives the Japanese army used this time, but one thing is for sure, Yoshitake's method really had the effect of a "surprise soldier".Amidst the smoke and dust flying all over the sky, more than two thousand devils lined up in five square formations and rushed towards the ruins of the city wall.And behind them, more devils were waiting in full force. Once the devils from these two brigades established a firm foothold in the city, they would rush in, so as to break through the defense line of Guanghuamen in one fell swoop, and then march towards the inner city.

When Zhu Zaiting was the first to climb to the top of the ruins, and saw ghosts swarming up densely, among them, the nearest one was less than a hundred meters away from him, even though he had already put his life and death aside, he still couldn't help taking a breath—he NND , It's really dangerous!If he hadn't reacted quickly and brought people up first, once the Japanese army occupied the ruins first, one can imagine what would be waiting for them next.

The enemy is already close at hand, as long as the enemy is a little slack, the breakthrough of the Japanese army will be inevitable.Zhu Zaiting immediately got down on the ground, then turned his head to look, and was pleasantly surprised to see that all the officers and soldiers guarding the ruins of the residential area were following up, and the reserve troops behind were also flooding in. He didn't talk nonsense, and directly shouted: "Fight!" !” Then the first shot was fired.

According to Yoshizuka Ryosuke's previous arrangement, the two battalions of devils who acted as the vanguard originally wanted to capture the ruins of the city wall by surprise, and then one would keep fire suppressing from above, and the other would directly attack the inner city.Now that they heard the gunshots and knew that the intention of the battle had been revealed, the two captains yelled loudly at almost the same time: "Charge! Charge! Drive the Zhina pig down!" Then, all the devils ran at the same time, shouting and rushing towards the ruins .

At this time, the defensive troops of the two companies had all rushed up. Among them, Qiu Jimin, the commander of the Xuebing Company, was holding a machine gun. He jumped directly on a wall brick, with the muzzle of the gun facing down, and pulled the trigger forcefully with his hand. Shouted: "Brothers! Hit! Beat the little devil down!"

His yell aroused the fighting spirit of all the students in the cadet company, everyone shouted angrily, and pulled the trigger violently at the same time, nearly a hundred Weiqing-style assault rifles fired one after another, immediately knocking down dozens of devils who rushed to the front.

The company commander of the Sichuan Army, Wang Hai, followed Qiu Jimin closely. While beckoning his brothers to take advantage of the terrain to attack, he hugged Qiu Jimin's legs and carried him off.

Qiu Jimin jumped into the air suddenly, he couldn't help being startled, he stopped shooting, and cursed: "What a bastard..." Looking back and seeing Wang Hai, he just wanted to continue to curse: What are you doing, you son of a bitch? "Puff, puff" bullets collided, several bullets hit the city wall brick he was standing on just now, sparks flew, and one of them directly hit his helmet, the huge impact almost knocked him out , and at the same time threw him all over the back—Wang Hai was caught off guard, one of them lost his footing, and the two immediately rolled down the ruins together.

After rolling down four meters, the two of them were supported by a city wall brick.Wang Hai bared his teeth in pain, cursing in a low voice: "Qiu Jimin, you son of a bitch is looking for death! Stand tall, do you think Bullet and you are relatives?!"

Qiu Jimin was also anxious just now. Seeing so many devils rushing up suddenly, he might not be able to defend himself. At this time, he was stabbed by a few sharp pieces of city wall bricks and his body was in pain. He was also awake. I was a little scared at the scene, knowing that Wang Hai had good intentions, Hao Yan said: "Hey, I was too anxious just now, Lao Wang, thank you so much just now."

Wang Hai snorted, and said, "It's good for you to know!" He added: "Buy and buy skins, the little devil has become smarter, and even thought of this move. Ge Laozi, if it wasn't for the quick reaction of the traveler, we would have Passive!" As he said, he struggled to get up, then took out his shell gun and rushed up.

On the ruins at this time, the defenders had already suffered casualties.The burst of shooting just now caused a great blow to the Japanese army.A full two hundred devils were knocked down.This also caused the Japanese army's charge momentum to be immediately contained.

Once the Japanese army's charge was stopped, the two captains wisely ordered everyone to lie down and shoot at the defenders.Meanwhile, have the grenadier set up the grenade and start bombarding the top of the ruins.

The fierce battle has begun.
