As Stilwell said, the outcome of the war is ultimately determined by the fight on the battlefield!

At this time, on the Nanjing battlefield, the first and small-scale tentative offensive of the Okamoto United had been crushed, but soon, the second full-scale offensive would begin!

Katsuma Kagawa carried a knife on his shoulder, strode up to Okamoto Hoyuki, and paused: "Captain! ”

Okamoto Hoyuki nodded and said in a deep voice: "Kagawa-kun, do you know how many pairs of eyes are looking at Nanjing now?" ”

"Hello, I know!" Kagawa Katsumaton said, "NHK Radio is broadcasting live on the Nanjing battlefield, and now almost the entire Japanese people are gathered in front of the broadcast, waiting for our good news!" ”

"No, you don't know!" Okamoto shook his head and said, "Not only Japan, but also the English radio station of NHK Radio is broadcasting live to the world, and now the whole world is watching Nanjing and the outcome of this war!" ”

After a pause, Okamoto said again: "Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that His Majesty the Emperor is also paying attention to this war!" We are also waiting for our good news! ”

"Hello!" Kagawa Katsumaton said, "Our 2nd Infantry Brigade will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!" It will definitely crush the remnants of the enemy on the opposite side! ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamoto Hoyuki said happily, "Kagawa-kun, then I'm here waiting for your good news!" ”

"Hello!" Kagawa Katsuma paused again, then turned around and walked away with his saber on his shoulder.

……

The little devils are gearing up, and the 367th regiment is not idle.

In the headquarters building of the Bank of China, battalion commander Sun Zhizheng discussed with deputy battalion commander Cao Jun how to defend it.

Cao Jun is a cadet of the Central Military Academy, and Zhong Yi specially arranged for the 1st Independent Battalion to serve as the deputy battalion commander.

There is nothing to say about the morale and will to fight of the Sichuan army, but the military quality is still unsatisfactory.

Zhong Yi can't add too many outstanding officers with military academy education to the 1st Battalion now, but there is no problem in arranging a deputy battalion commander to assist Sun Zhi!

Sun Zhi is also very upright, and Cao Jun concurrently served as the commander of the 1st Company as soon as he came.

Although they won the first battle and won it very easily, Sun Zhi and Cao Jun did not underestimate the enemy because of this, because they knew very well that this was just a tentative attack by the little devils!

The next attack of the devil is the attack in the real sense!

Sun Zhi said: "Deputy Cao Ying, the next thing is the real test, if you can't withstand it in front, quickly withdraw to the central bank headquarters building, after all, there is a solid building as an obstacle, and the little devil is not so easy to get in!" ”

"Understood!" Cao Jun said, "Don't worry, I won't do it, but then again, the outer position is an effective protection of the core position, if there is no protection of the periphery, no matter how strong the core position is, there will eventually be a loss under the continuous strong attack of the enemy, so you must not give up the peripheral position until you have to!" ”

"If you want it, you want it." Sun Zhi nodded and said, "Then there is Lao Caoying's deputy you." ”

Cao Jun said: "Fighting for the country and the nation is originally the duty of my generation of soldiers!" ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Jun snapped up again, saluted Sun Zhi, and then turned around and walked out of the Bank of China headquarters building without looking back.

……

A kilometer away, across a small half of the street, is the assembly place of the Kagawa Brigade.

In the winter, Kagawa Katsuma had already taken off his coat and wore a white shirt with a snow-white samurai scarf tied to his forehead.

The more than 1,000 little devils of the Kagawa Brigade, in addition to artillery and other auxiliary arms, the infantry who directly participated in the battle also did the same, all took off their cotton coats, wore only a shirt on their upper body, and tied a samurai scarf on their foreheads!

Little devils generally don't put on this formation, but once they put on this formation, they are going to play with their lives!

Kagawa Katsuma took a towel and carefully wiped the saber in his hand, then threw the towel away, held the saber and shouted: "Warriors, the hundreds of millions of people of the empire are watching you, His Majesty the Emperor is watching you, this battle, only victory is not allowed to lose, for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, Tao Ji change!" ”

The next moment, Kagawa Katsuma led the saber forward, and the more than 800 devil soldiers of the four infantry squadrons, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately swept forward like a flood that broke the embankment.

There were also two Type 95 tanks attacking together with the Kagawa Brigade!

Although the four infantry squadrons of the Jiachuan Brigade and more than 800 devil infantry put on a desperate posture, they did not rush forward in line and shouting slogans like Wei Yunsong's 41st Army on the Songhu battlefield, but launched attacks from the streets and civilian houses at the same time in two ways.

Three of the infantry squadrons attacked from the front along the Zhongshan South Road and the other two main streets, guided by two Type 95 tanks, while the remaining infantry squadron provided cover for the Japanese troops in front by a roundabout flank attack on the buildings that had been blown into ruins by Japanese bombers and artillery groups.

The Japanese troops advancing along the Zhongshan South Road were the first to be hit!

"Da da......" The gunfire like a burst of beans suddenly rang out, and several devils who were bending down and rushing forward with bayonets immediately fell, and the rest of the devils quickly scattered to find cover, while the guided tank slowly turned the turret and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at the side-firing point of the national army next to the street.

The next moment, I saw a flash of red light from the mouth of the cannon.

Immediately after, a cloud of smoke rose from the ruins of the houses on the side of the street!

The heavy machine gun, which was still spewing fire violently just now, immediately stopped!

But in the next moment, more firepower points suddenly bloomed on both sides of the street, but it was the Sichuan army soldiers who were ambushed in the ruins of the houses on both sides opened fire, and a company of more than 100 Sichuan army soldiers guarded more than a dozen relatively solid civilian buildings, and poured the fire power violently on the head of the little devil!

The devils, who had nowhere to hide in the streets, fell down in rows.

Although the two tanks responsible for guiding and protecting tried their best to suppress them, they couldn't change anything in their eagerness.

However, the good times did not last long, just when the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company of the 1st Independent Battalion were fighting, at least one squadron of devil infantry climbed over the ruins of civilian houses and touched them, and the two sides instantly entered into a hand-to-hand encounter!

"Turtle son drop, give Lao Tzu to die! A Sichuan soldier roared and stabbed a devil in the abdomen with a bayonet.

But the next moment, two sharp bayonets stabbed from behind, almost simultaneously stabbing into his back, the not strong body of the Sichuan army veteran shook suddenly, and then collapsed to the ground softly, but even if he was dead, he still held the formal rifle in his hand and refused to let go.
