"That's not a reason!" Tsukada said angrily, "It's just that Kazuo Iza has already cut his stomach to thank His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise I will personally send him to a military court!" ”

At this time, Matsui Shigen waved his hand and asked, "What about the other troops?" ”

"Hello!" Mamoru Iinuma replied, "Your Excellency, the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery was completely wiped out in the first wave of counterattack by the Chinese rout, and due to the suddenness of the incident, it didn't even have time to blow up all 6 large-caliber cannons, but fortunately, all the shells have been exhausted, and even if the Chinese army captures the artillery, it is useless." ”

"Yaga!" Matsui Ishone's facial muscles twitched twice, and then he asked, "What about the 10th Wing of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery?" ”

Mamoru Iinuma flipped through the telegram and said: "The position of the 10th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing is not far from the station of the Nara Wing, so it is now besieged by the Shina Army near the military medical school in the east of Nanjing along with the Nara Wing, but the current situation is not very optimistic. ”

"Not very optimistic?" Matsui Ishine frowned, "How bad is it?" ”

Mamoru Iinuma hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "The telegram just forwarded by the 16th Division said that the Nara Wing can hold out for another half an hour at most!" ”

"Nani? Half-hour?! Tsukada was stunned when he heard this.

Matsui Ishone's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and the small eyes hiding behind a pair of glasses also revealed an extremely cold gaze.

……

At this time, in the military medical school.

The former National Army Military Medical School has now become the temporary headquarters of the Nara Wing.

Because the defense area of the Nara Wing is located in the east of Nanjing, almost half of the city of Nanjing is separated from the international security zone in the west, so the time of attack is slightly later, and it is this time difference of about half an hour that gives the Nara Wing the opportunity to deploy troops and firepower in advance!

The problem is that in just half an hour, the defense deployment that can be done is too limited!

Digging trenches? Building barricades on the main street with sandbags? There is simply not enough time!

The only thing the Nara Wing can do is to occupy a dozen buildings centered on the military medical school, build machine gun fire on each commanding height, and then use the infantry squadron as a unit to assign their respective defense areas!

The wing captain of the Nara Wing is called Katagiri Goro, and the old devil's strategy is to evenly distribute the forces in all directions and fortify them layer by layer to ensure the safety of the wing headquarters!

Katagiri Gorou thought very clearly, as long as the wing headquarters is safe, as long as the wing flag is safe and sound, no matter how many infantry brigades are lost, they can be replenished quickly, and the Nara wing will soon be able to regain its combat effectiveness!

But if the headquarters of the wing is finished, even if the military flag is burned in time, it is impossible for the Nara wing to be rebuilt in a short time, which means that it is impossible for the Nara wing to participate in the battle to capture Nanjing, and it may even be impossible to catch up with the war of destroying China, which is definitely a lifelong shame for Katagiri as the captain of the wing!

At first, Katagiri Goro's strategy was very effective!

From about half past one o'clock in the morning, countless Chinese troops swarmed from the darkness and launched a fierce attack on the defense area of the Nara Wing from different directions, but because the Nara Wing had deployed its defense in advance and built up machine gun fire at various commanding heights around it, the pressure was great, but there was no danger in a short time.

However, the good times did not last long, from three o'clock in the morning, along the Zhongshan East Road to the east of the attack of the Chinese army, the offensive suddenly became extremely fierce, in less than half an hour, it broke through the defense of three infantry squadrons in a row, the front of the army pointed directly at the headquarters of the military medical school, Katagiri Goro sent the military flag squadron up, but still could not stop!

Less than a quarter of an hour after the flag squadron was transferred, Adjutant Noda Takeshi hurried in again and said, "Your Excellency, the 1st Infantry Brigade has requested reinforcements from the wing headquarters!" ”

"Yaga!" Katagiri Goro said angrily, "Didn't the military flag squadron just be transferred? ”

"Hello!" Noda Yi paused, "Captain Suzuki said that it took less than ten minutes for the military flag squadron to go up, and the Chinese army was defeated, and the firepower of the Chinese army was too ferocious!" ”

"Nani, in less than ten minutes, the Flag Squadron was defeated?" Katagiri Gorou couldn't believe his ears, the flag squadron was the most elite squadron of each infantry wing, and the most elite full-fledged infantry squadron was transferred to the battlefield in less than a quarter of an hour, and it was actually so that the Chinese army was defeated?

"Hello!" Noda Takeshi paused again, and said, "Your Excellency, the Suzuki Brigade has requested urgent reinforcements!" ”

"Yaga!" Katagiri Goro recovered from the huge shock, frightened and angry, and immediately roared at Noda Takeshi, "You tell Suzuki Jiro, reinforcements, it is impossible to have reinforcements, the wing headquarters can't send a single reinforcement except me, you tell him, at all costs, give me a standstill!" ”

"Hello!" Noda paused again, turned around and hurried away.

……

At this time, on the campus of Yat-sen Elementary School.

As soon as Qiu Qingquan pulled the bolt of the gun, with a click, the empty magazine slipped from the chamber of the Bergman submachine gun, and then to the magazine on his chest, another magazine full of bullets was pushed into the chamber.

At this time, there was another group of about a dozen devil soldiers with bayonets and screaming from the front.

"Look for death!" The corners of Qiu Qingquan's mouth instantly bloomed with a cold killing intent, and he immediately pulled the trigger of the submachine gun.

Qiu Qingquan will definitely not have a trace of mercy for the devils who are looking for death, just like the nearly two hundred devil soldiers who rushed over in line just now.

Want to show off the so-called spirit of bushido?

Idiots will give you a chance, and idiots will really fight with you bayonets!

Fight bayonets? That's only when you run out of bullets and can't do anything!

Almost at the same time that Qiu Qingquan pulled the trigger of the submachine gun, dozens of veterans behind him also pulled the trigger at the same time, and more than 20 Bergman submachine guns fired at the same time, and the bullets rained down like raindrops, and the dozen or so devil soldiers who rushed over with a scream were like drunk, and fell to the ground crookedly.

"Stop shooting!" Qiu Qingquan raised his submachine gun violently.

The more than two dozen veterans who followed behind him stopped shooting.

After pausing for a moment to make sure that there were no living devils in front of him, Qiu Qingquan waved his hand and shouted, "Keep going!" ”

After speaking, Qiu Qingquan strode forward with a submachine gun, and the veterans of the half platoon behind him also immediately followed with guns.

However, less than fifty meters forward, two dazzling tongues of fire erupted from a small western-style building on the left, and Qiu Qingquan hurriedly dodged behind a pile of ruins.

More than 20 veterans also hurriedly looked for cover and hid.

In the next moment, a dense stream of bullets had already poured over, causing smoke and dust to splash the ruins where Qiu Qingquan and more than 20 veterans were hiding, and one veteran was shot in the hip in an instant if he didn't hide it properly.
