Outside the city wall of Nanguan in Shanhaiguan, inside the former enemy headquarters of the advance corps.

Liu Jianhua and deputy brigade commander Zhou Mingzheng were sitting at the command headquarters, commanding the advance corps to launch a steady stream of fierce attacks on the Japanese army, and the devil's troops increased, not only the defensive force was greatly increased, but also the counter-charge was organized several times, so the pressure on the advance corps is now much greater.

Liu Jianhua, Zhou Ming and the others couldn't see any relaxed looks on their faces, let alone smiles, and now the atmosphere in the entire headquarters was very tense!

Suddenly, a captain and company commander in charge of communications hurriedly walked out of the confidential room next to him with a telegram, opened the curtain of the military tent at the headquarters, ran to Liu Jianhua and Zhou Ming in great strides, and saluted the two: "Brigade commander, deputy brigade commander is not good, this is the commander's urgent military information sent to us by radio." ”

Liu Jianhua and Zhou Ming couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts and became nervous, Zhou Ming hurriedly reached out and took the message and read it with Liu Jianhua.

Just after reading it, the faces of the two of them suddenly changed, and after glancing at each other, Zhou Ming said with a difficult face: "Brigade commander, what should we do?" ”

"What else can I do? The commander is desperately trying to buy time for us, and of course we are following the commander's order, intensifying the attack at all costs, and capturing the Beiguan Wall before the Japanese heavy artillery units are ready. ”

"However, if we fail to break through the Japanese line before then, then the siege force is likely to be bombarded by the enemy's devastating artillery fire, and the consequences are unimaginable!" Zhou Ming felt very sorry for the officers and men of the advance corps, among them, there was the only tank armored unit in the whole column.

If it was heavily damaged by the Japanese army in such a narrow area, or even completely annihilated, it would undoubtedly have a great adverse impact on the Dragon's Tooth Column and even the entire anti-Japanese battlefield in North China.

As the deputy commander of the armored tank brigade, Zhou Ming was obviously reluctant and did not want to see such a situation occur.

Liu Jianhua and Zhou Ming have worked together for so long, so they naturally know his worries and concerns, and they are patient at the moment, but they say very solemnly: "Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, there are some things you have to keep in mind, that is, the responsibility of us as soldiers, that is, to protect our families and defend the country, and to stay out of the country day by day."

For this reason, we do not hesitate to throw our heads and spill blood, how can we be afraid to retreat because of the danger of this battle? Don't worry too much about these tanks and equipment, as long as we can win the war, everything can be rebuilt and produced, but if we can't drive out the invaders.

As a result of the loss of the land and the destruction of thousands of people's lives, what is the use of us leaving these iron lumps?

Our generation of soldiers should defend the land and defend the country, and bravely kill the enemy as the primary goal, as for the rest, I dare not think about it, if I can die on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud, it is really my luck!

No matter what time comes, no matter how high our military rank or official position is, we must not lose the heart that dares to fight any enemy to the end! We must not lose the courage and strength that we should have as a Chinese soldier.

Remember, the brave wins! Today is either the death of little Japan, or we are dead, give me an order, the officers and men of the whole brigade are below me, and they are not allowed to retreat without an order, even if they fight to the last soldier, they must take Shanhaiguan for me! Violators of the order will be shot on the spot, and the military law will be corrected! ”

Zhou Ming was stirred by Liu Jianhua's sonorous and moving words, and immediately stood up and responded: "Yes!" As a fellow soldier, the brigade commander's words are so humiliating that I am willing to personally lead the commando team to take the lead in the main attack, and I ask the brigade commander for approval! ”

Liu Jianhua looked at Zhou Ming, who was full of firmness and seriousness, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, go ahead, if you can't successfully break through the enemy's defense line, I will lead the brigade headquarters guard battalion to launch a final attack until the last soldier!" ”

Zhou Ming understood the meaning of Liu Jianhua's words, his mood became solemn, but he was also in awe, he knew that Liu Jianhua's words were by no means casual, if he really couldn't take the Shanhaiguan, he would definitely lead the last troops to rush up.

In the final analysis, compared with the brigade commander, a fierce general who rushed out of the sea of blood with the commander's corpse, he is weaker in both courage and strategy!

If you don't accept it, no matter when and where, in a desperate and dangerous situation, these dragon tooth generals from Qiao Youhua's descendants are full of a kind of courage to dare to fight to the end with any enemy, and a strong willpower that would rather die than give in.

The troops led by such a military commander are almost invincible.

There is a saying that is very true, in the battlefield of bullets and bullets, life and death are unpredictable, only those who are not afraid of death can and deserve to survive.

Zhou Ming gritted his teeth and said: "Please rest assured that the brigade commander will definitely take Shanhaiguan, otherwise he will come to see you!" ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming turned around and strode away.

Liu Jianhua instructed one of the guards: "Inform me of the air defense brigade and the heavy artillery brigade, convey the commander's order to them, and ask them to immediately carry out artillery fire on the wall of the northern city gate section of Shanhaiguan." ”

The guards knew that the stakes were high, and hurriedly answered the order and left

Compared with the devil's 150mm heavy artillery, the 105mm German howitzer equipped with the heavy artillery brigade of the Dragon's Tooth Column is much more convenient to use, and it has an advantage over the little devil's 150 heavy gun in terms of volume and weight.

Naturally, it is much faster to erect, of course, the power is also relatively weak, but it is used to bombard such a projectile place as Shanhaiguan, and the hundreds of 105mm German howitzers equipped with the heavy artillery brigade can cause no less damage than the 150 heavy artillery guns of the devil's heavy artillery brigade.

Mainly because the targets that need to be bombarded are in relatively narrow and closed areas, the power of howitzer fire can be fully exerted, and the defenders have little place to hide.

Since the Japanese army in North China never expected that the entire war situation in North China would become what it is now, as the rear of Shanhaiguan bordering the Kwantung Army, it has always been very safe and calm, and the devils naturally will not go to great lengths to strengthen this thousand-year-old dangerous pass.

And the original kind of wall built in the era of cold weapons, which could barely resist small-caliber artillery, encountered the fierce concentrated bombardment of howitzer groups with a caliber of more than 100, and the result was conceivable.

The Devil's Heavy Artillery Brigade was forced to interrupt the preparation for building a position because of the attack of Qiao Youhua's three fighters, so Ma Yunlong's Longya Heavy Artillery Brigade rushed ahead of the Japanese army and completed the construction of the artillery position and various preparations.

After receiving Liu Jianhua's notice, Ma Yunlong immediately ordered his artillery to open fire, and hundreds of 105mm howitzers opened fire one after another.

One by one, the cannonballs dragged the scarlet tail flames into the air, piercing the air, like hot and dazzling meteors, flying over the south pass of Shanhaiguan and smashing straight towards the north gate wall.
