Chapter 619 Bloody Battle (22)
In the east, a touch of red paints the sky, and before you know it, 10 minutes have passed.

The city wall was blasted to produce a large number of ruins, and the remains of these city wall bricks flew everywhere, providing the Japanese army with many ready-made bunkers.It was by virtue of these bunkers that the Japanese army never retreated. The sound of "empty, empty" sounded on the Japanese army's position, and one grenade after another smashed into the ruined position, causing great casualties to the defenders.

Behind the Japanese position, Ryosuke Yoshizuki's eyes were red, and he roared with anger at the failure of the vanguard to take down the ruins in one fell swoop—"Tell Asahi Shiro, I will give him another quarter of an hour, and if I can't take it down by then, I will let the heavy artillery The regiment conducts indiscriminate bombardment." As the commander of the 7th Regiment of Shiroshi Asao, it was the remaining two brigades of the regiment that undertook the first round of offensive missions.

After Qiu Jimin fell, he calmed down a lot. At this moment, he had already changed his weapon into a rifle.Seeing that the grenadiers of the Japanese army caused too much damage to his side, he yelled at the deputy company commander Wang Dafa: "Dafa, let Tan Jingming and the others shoot the grenade first."

Tan Jingming is the monitor of the sniper squad.Wang Dafa responded with a cat's waist and ran towards the sniper squad's position. After walking a few steps, he saw Xie Chang'an, and he hurriedly said hello: "Traveler, you are here too."

After being awakened by the sound of the explosion, Xie Chang'an first appeased the troops, and then rushed over with the 19th regiment.Chao Wang Dafa nodded, and he asked, "Did you see Brigadier Zhu?"

Wang Dafa pointed him in the direction, and he let the 19th regiment enter the position immediately, and then walked towards Zhu Zaiting.

In the battle just now, Zhu Zaiting was grazed by a bullet on his cheek, and now his face is covered with blood.When Xie Changan brought people to support him, he had already noticed it. At this moment, Mao Yao ran down the front line to meet him and said: "Brigade Commander Xie, it seems that there will be a war of attrition. This line of defense must not be lost, otherwise , once the 9th Division breaks in, the brother troops will be in danger."

The purpose of the Xuebing Army staying in Nanjing was only to buy time for the main force and the people to retreat.In view of such a purpose, the last thing Ouyang Yun wanted to see was a war of attrition.This is also the main reason why he gave up the city wall section when he was arranging the defense line.At the pre-war meeting, because he emphasized this point, Zhu Zaiting said this to Xie Changan in a deliberative tone at this moment.Xie Chang'an nodded and said, "That's all for now. There is a problem with the phone connection between us and the headquarters, and I have sent someone to report it."

"Okay, let's defend this line first, and wait for the order from the headquarters."

The cadet army was unwilling to fight a war of attrition, and the Japanese army actually did not want to fight a war of attrition either.However, the 9th Division is destined to be an exception. This is not only because Matsui Iwane took special care of Yoshizuki Ryosuke when he gave the order. Enmity has already been formed, and to use a rather old-fashioned word to describe it, that is, when enemies meet each other, they are extremely jealous.That's why Yoshizuka Ryosuke said such cruel words just now.

And not long after he spoke harshly, the devils from the two brigades of the 7th Regiment launched another onslaught, regardless of casualties, amidst the yelling at Shiro Shiro.

Nearly [-] devils rushed towards the defenders' position densely, gunshots and explosions were heard endlessly, and small mushroom clouds rose up one after another, which would inevitably take away a few fresh lives.

"The Japanese devils are crazy, brothers, fight!" Qiu Jimin put his rifle on his shoulder, and violently pulled the trigger, hissing.Suddenly, the sound of "wow" came from not far away, and a voice shouted from the side: "Company Commander! Be careful!" A figure jumped on him——with a loud "boom", the body pressing on him Trembling, and soon stopped moving.

"Xiao Lin?!" Qiu Jimin yelled loudly when a stream of warm liquid soaked his back, turned over abruptly, and hugged Lin Guoguo.

Lin Guoguo is his bodyguard. He is only 16 years old this year, and he is the youngest soldier in his company.Qiu Jimin asked him to be his bodyguard because of the nature of taking care of him, but he didn't expect that this child would sacrifice his young life to save himself.

Xiao Lin had more than a dozen wounds on his body, and his back was torn apart by shrapnel. His blood-stained face still maintained the expression of screaming just now, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were wide open...

A gust of hot air rose from the deepest part of his chest, and soon steamed his blood to a boil. Qiu Jimin was so wide-eyed that he yelled, "Bastard!" He covered Lin Guoguo's eyes with his hands, and stood up abruptly. Jumping onto a city wall brick, the muzzle of the gun drooped and fired.

"Company commander, come down!" A soldier noticed his danger and immediately reminded him loudly.

Not far away, Wang Hai saw this scene, stood up and cursed: "Qiu Jimin, you son of a bitch, your baby is really looking for death—uh!" However, the blood quickly stained his chest, his chest and abdomen red, and he felt that all the strength in his body was losing rapidly; he stretched out his hand to cover his chest, trying to stop the blood from flowing out, but it was in vain; he opened his mouth Panting heavily, he turned his head and looked at where the bullet came from, wanting to see which turtle hit him.In the field of vision, the dense khaki figures were fading away, he opened his mouth and cursed: "Damn it!" Then he fell down with a "poof".

"Company commander!" Sichuan soldiers shouted loudly, and several of them threw away their guns and rushed over.

Qiu Jimin didn't know that Wang Hai had already collapsed in order to save himself. He emptied all the bullets in the gun in one go, and then was about to change the clips, when he suddenly felt a strong force hit his chest and abdomen, and he flew backwards, mid-air In the process, the blood gushing out of his chest and abdomen fell red little by little, staining the bricks of the city wall under him red.

"Company Commander!" The Xue Bingjun also yelled - in an instant, the two company commanders fell one after the other.And their death undoubtedly injected a shot of stimulant into all the soldiers nearby.

The ghost soldiers of the 7th Regiment have gone "crazy" ever since they were told by Kohei Shiro that if they could not take down the ruins of the city wall for half an hour, they would be bombarded indiscriminately by the heavy artillery regiment.

The combat power of the 9 divisions that the Japanese army regularly organizes has a lot to do with the folk customs of the places where they were organized. For example, the 5th Division, because the folk customs of Kanazawa where it was compiled is strong, so the devils in the Kanazawa division are fierce. Not afraid of death, it is one of the most elite divisions of the Japanese army.Nearly 30 devils launched a fearless charge, and it was miraculously effective. In just [-] minutes, one of the devils rushed to a distance of only [-] meters from the top of the ruins of the city wall.

The death of the two company commanders more or less affected the performance of the soldiers of the two companies. At least at the moment they fell to the ground, many people turned their heads and looked around instead of continuing to shoot.Taking advantage of this gap, the devils rushed forward quickly, and even killed them only about 30 meters away.

"Yaoxi! If we work harder, we will be able to drive the Chinese people out of the position!" A squadron leader, a devil officer of the department, began to encourage his soldiers optimistically.

But he had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard many people around him exclaiming in unison.In his ears, the sound of gunshots suddenly became denser. He hurriedly looked forward, and he would see no less than twenty Chinese soldiers suddenly leaping up to the top of the ruins. The muzzles of their guns spit out gorgeous flames— He didn't react to anything, he only felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, his eyes went dark, and then his whole body was thrown up by the huge force of nearly a dozen bullets, and he fell back like a full sack.

A company of students and a company of Sichuan soldiers suddenly burst out with amazing fighting spirit because of the death of the company commander.At this moment, all the earnest teachings of the chief officers on weekdays have become deaf ears; the results of past training have also gone with the wind - all they want now is to avenge the company commander, and for revenge, they even sacrificed themselves.

"Revenge for the company commander!" "Tear up these bastards!" "Brothers, kill!"...Amidst the roaring roar, they even launched a countercharge against the Japanese army.

This counterattack came quite suddenly, and they were condescending again. The devils in this unit were caught off guard, and after being knocked down by 30 people in a row, they turned around and ran away one after another.

The defensive positions of these two companies are located on Guanghuamen.On their left, Xie Changan couldn't help cursing after seeing this scene: "Nonsense!"

"Traveler, it seems that Qiu Jimin is dead," said a staff officer.

Xie Changan was taken aback, feeling a little sad in his heart.Immediately, he said, "Gu Pang, temporarily take over Qiu Jimin's position, and go and stabilize that side."

In the position on the right side of Guanghuamen, Zhu Zaiting's eyes lit up after seeing this scene, and he immediately shouted: "Brothers, charge, kill the little devil!" Then he took the lead, climbed to the top of the ruins, and shot One side rushed down. "Charge! Brothers! Charge!" Behind him, Fu Bingxun, the head of the [-]st Regiment, shouted, and rushed down after him.

The counterattack of the defenders came quite suddenly, and the Japanese army could be said to be unprepared at all.Of course, in the eyes of Shiro Chaosei, this is a godsend opportunity.After the Guanghuamen city wall was blasted, a small slope with a height of about five or six meters and a width of more than 7 meters was formed.Originally, whoever seized the commanding height of this small slope first would have a natural fortification.According to Toshihiro Shiro's understanding, if the defenders stick to Gao, even if the [-]th Regiment can conquer it, it will definitely pay huge casualties.But now, the Chinese people have begun to fight back, which is undoubtedly tantamount to giving up natural fortifications.How does this make him unhappy?

Wielding his command saber at Shiro Shiro, he kept yelling, "Attack! Attack! Speed ​​up, take advantage of the Chinese people's attack, and rush up in one fell swoop!"

As mentioned earlier, in addition to the Seventh Xue Brigade and a tank regiment, the two regiments of the Sichuan Army are responsible for the defense of Guanghuamen.After Zhu Zaiting and Xie Chang's security department entered the front line of the ruins, all the reserve troops of the Seventh Xue Brigade and the Sichuan Army came out. At this moment, except for two regiments fighting on the front line, the other troops were gathered behind the ruins and behind the ruins of the residential area.After receiving the order from the headquarters, the tank regiment commanded by Qian Guangming had already assembled and was waiting on the flat ground under the ruins of the city wall, ready to attack at any time.

The order Qian Guangming received was to help the [-]th Brigade and the Sichuan Army defend the line of defense. At this moment, the troops on the front line started a counter-charge, which made Qian Guangming hesitate - should he rush out?
