On December 8, 1937, the Japanese army broke through the outer defense line of Chunhua and approached Nanjing.

Fuguishan Tunnel, Teaching Corps Headquarters, Gui Yongqing and Chief of Staff Qiu Qingquan were staring at the map, "Captain, the Japanese army has broken through Chunhua, and the cavalry battalion of the corps has already engaged the Japanese army, and it is estimated that the main force of the Japanese army will arrive soon." Qiu Qingquan reminded Gui Yongqing worriedly.

"Well, Chief of Staff, notify the regiments by phone, prepare for battle, inform the reserves to be ready, I feel that the first attack will not be easy."

On the heights of the Zhongshan Mausoleum, the soldiers of the fourth company were prostrate in the bunkers and caves at the back of the hillside, only a small number of observation posts were left in the main position of the heights, and the light and heavy machine guns were also placed in the caves. The sound of guns and cannons is getting closer and closer, "Platoon commander, why did the devil put his guns indiscriminately, and he didn't hit us yet", He Kun was extremely puzzled by the seemingly wasted bullets of the Japanese. Zhang Wei glanced at him: "They are chasing the rout of the peripheral troops."

The gunfire got closer and closer, and with a bang, a cannonball hit the front of the Zhongshan Mausoleum, but it missed. "The devil is coming, lie down and lie low, there is going to be an artillery bombardment." There was chaos in the cave. A succession of shells exploded on the position, but the density was very sparse and the power was not particularly great.

"Platoon commander, what's going on, what's going on with this cannon", but Zhang Wei couldn't figure it out for a while.

"He Kun, you go and call the observation post to ask", yes, He Kun rushed out, and before the person came back, he heard him shouting, "Platoon commander, the devil infantry is coming, come out quickly."

Zhang Wei lifted the Mauser rifle, "Pay attention to the whole platoon, prepare for battle, and take your place"! More than 30 people rushed out of the Tibetan soldier cave, climbed along the back slope into the trenches and foxholes on the high ground, the Japanese artillery bombardment continued, but it was still sparse, the Japanese soldiers lined up in a triangular formation at a few hundred meters, under the command of the corporal, holding a slender 38-gun charge, the light machine gun group was also rushing forward, and now it was too far away to reach the shooting distance of the crooked handle. But he didn't see the heavy machine gun, Zhang Wei suddenly understood that the Japanese army's shelling just now was so sparse, it was probably just the 92 infantry guns shelling, and he didn't see the heavy machine gun group, this group of devils was either a group of forwards, or a group of fools who were used to chasing the router.

"Okay, the whole platoon listens, this is the fly that hits the head, there is no cover from the mountain artillery, don't be afraid of them, listen to my order and then open fire"!

As the unit with the highest quality in the national army, the teaching corps still can't do such a thing as indiscriminately discharging guns, and everyone aims dutifully in accordance with the norms of the infantry drill code.

The Japanese infantry has already rushed to a distance of 150 meters, and if they go a few tens of meters, the grenadiers will be fired, Zhang Wei pinched his sweat, "Wait and wait, 100 meters, fight"!

For a while, the gunfire was loud, and the dull sound of the Mauser rifle and the crisp Czech short-burst shot were intertwined, unfortunately, Zhang Wei's first shot missed, damn! Steady, steady, a Japanese soldier dodged the fire net and rushed down the hillside, it seemed that he wanted to throw a grenade, Zhang Wei pushed a 79 rifle bullet into the chamber, three points and one line, the butt of the gun against the shoulder. The Japanese soldier took out a Type 91 grenade, pulled off the safety wire, knocked lightly on the steel helmet, and suddenly got up, unfortunately, a 79 bullet pierced his chest, and the grenade fell to the ground weakly, boom, and turned into pieces together with the person who pulled it.

The whole Zhongshan Mausoleum was full of gunfire, the two sides were engaged in fierce shooting, the battle just now, about 145 Japanese troops fell in front of a platoon of positions, it can be said that this is the price that the attacker must pay, and at this time, the two sides fired at a distance of less than 70 meters, the quality of the Japanese army was immediately revealed, they had changed from the beginning of the panic, to the counterattack on the spot, the corporal had begun to use the 95 command knife to lead the grenadier group to shoot, the first platoon of the position began to be wounded, Qiu Wei's second platoon was the same.

"Platoon commander, the devil is stuck with us, don't retreat." He Kun slammed a rifle with the butt of a gun and shouted at Zhang Wei.

"What about the heavy machine gun, hit their grenadiers", Zhang Wei rushed to the heavy machine gun squad, they just finished changing positions, the old squad leader, the grenadier to fight the devil, the old squad leader opened the bullet chain: "The devil is blocking the corpse, the hillside is gentle, and it can't be penetrated, the platoon leader." Grenades kept hitting the position, and people were wounded, but fortunately there were no casualties. Seeing that the defense of the platoon was in disarray, the Japanese infantry had begun to creep along the hillside, and after a fierce firefight, there were few casualties on either side, and only two or three Japanese fell to the ground.

Zhang Wei took out a long-handled grenade: "Brothers, throw a grenade, smash them to death", the soldiers took out long-handled grenades from their waists, and more than 20 grenades flew out of the trench and rolled down the hillside. A platoon of machine guns and rifles took advantage of the panic of the Japanese army and also followed suit, and the Czech light machine guns swallowed tongues of fire, and one after another golden shells were thrown out of the receivers. The smoke from the grenade explosion had not yet cleared, and before the Japanese could react, several more people were hit. Someone has already begun to retreat along the hillside

。

Zhang Wei saw the decline of the Japanese army, "Brothers, work harder, push them down, and hit the heavy machine guns hard", the commander of the second and fourth heavy machine guns pulled the trigger, the canvas bullet bag was fed into the gun, and the cooling water in the cooling barrel began to boil. As soon as Zhang Wei's words fell, a shell exploded near the heavy machine gun position, and the scattered shrapnel knocked a saddle engineer sergeant to the ground, and it was the 92nd infantry gun covering the retreat of the charging infantry.

"Quickly transfer the position", Zhang Wei and several soldiers of the machine gun squad moved away from the heavy machine gun and moved to another machine gun position. The intensification of the Japanese artillery bombardment was actually a signal for retreat, and the Japanese troops in front of the entire battalion position were retreating. Several 75 infantry shells fell on the Japanese ranks and exploded, which were German-style infantry guns under the direct command of the battalion commander.

The Jinling-made 82 mortar controlled by the company commander Wu Zhong also followed the shooting, the shells continued to explode on the hillside of the retreating Japanese army, almost all light and heavy firearms were firing, and the flying shrapnel constructed a road of death for the Japanese army. The original owner of this crooked handle has been sent to Amaterasu by the infantry artillery.

"Ceasefire", Zhang Wei shouted at the top of his voice, "The devil has run away, don't waste bullets." Gradually, the sound of gunfire gradually stopped, as did the infantry artillery and mortars. Zhang Wei sat down paralyzed, after a battle, the hand pulling the bolt hurt, and everyone sat in the trench panting.

Zhang Wei looked into the distance and said to the soldiers: "Fight well, fortify, grab and dig fortifications, the next round of attack will not be slow", "He Kun, you take a few people to help dig a few more heavy machine gun positions, I'm afraid that the devil has figured out the location of the machine gun."

"Yes, platoon commander". He Kun put away his twenty rings and took a few people to dig the position.

The soldiers were busy repairing the fortifications and replenishing the ammunition, Zhang Wei frowned, this was only the first exploratory attack, and there was no cover for even serious body artillery, and the real field attack of the main force of the Japanese army would only be a hundred times more dangerous than this.
