"Boom" "Boom" The two Japanese tanks that appeared in Tang Cheng's sight spit out two clouds of white smoke, and then a large cloud of smoke and fire rose up on the city gate, "onboard, onboard, onboard" The three shouts of the Japanese army were deafening with the participation of the tanks in the battle. As the sound of explosions came, the bombs fired by the Japanese began to fall on the position, the earth began to shake, the air began to fill the air with the smell of gunsmoke, and the soldiers of the entire battalion of the 173rd Division who rushed down the slope were shrouded in smoke.

Nanking? Guanghua Gate? Looking at the two tanks of the Japanese army from a distance, Tang Cheng seemed to have returned to the time when he blew up the Japanese tanks outside Guanghua Gate that day, and to the moment when he was surrounded by artillery fire without knowing the next moment of life and death. The soldiers of the 173rd Division, roaring at the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and with the buzzing sound in their ears, returned to the trenches where they had fought a day before, and they were going to drive out the Japanese soldiers who had occupied their positions.

"Boom! Boom ......" was another series of violent explosions, and the flames rolled up from the smoke, burning a dozen shouting soldiers of the 173rd Division into flames. "Lie down and lie down, roll on the ground" experienced veterans took the lead in action, using their military uniforms to slap the flames on the burning people, the friendship of the robe, the instinct to survive, and the experience practiced in the war showed at this time, these veterans who took off their military uniforms have ignored the shrapnel flying in the air, and they only have these burning robes in their eyes.

"Boom" Those veterans and firefighters who were busy putting out the fire fell into the smoke, and the smoke-filled battlefield began to diffuse a smell of meat, and everyone who had been on the battlefield knew where the smell came from. "Killing" the soldiers of the 173rd Division who were still alive was already crazy, they did not care about the bayonets and flying shrapnel in the hands of the Japanese soldiers, even if their skin was burned by the scorching air, they still continued to charge according to the order. …

The machine guns placed on the two flanks by Battalion Commander Yang gave full play to their role, and while their robes were engulfed by Japanese artillery fire, the machine guns on both flanks inflicted great casualties on the Japanese troops on the position. The rapidly changing battle situation made Tang Cheng, who was watching the battle on the slope, very nervous, Liu Goat is now preparing with both hands, the 173rd Division has won, he will return to the county with the rest of these garrison regiments, but if the 173rd Division is defeated by the Japanese army, Liu Goat will immediately take these people straight to Beishan, only Tang Cheng is really looking forward to the troops of the 173rd Division can repel the Japanese army.

Tang Cheng on the slope scanned the past with a telescope, and what caught his eye was that the battlefield was dotted with the corpses of soldiers on both sides; This miserable situation of dead and wounded corpses scattered everywhere belonged to the desperate charge of the national army in the past, and now half of these corpses are earthy yellow figures. Well played! Tang Cheng was excited in his heart, it was the fate of a soldier to die on the battlefield, but he also had to die well, and he could fight out the Japanese army with the same casualty rate as himself, which showed that the army that Zhou Yuan transferred out of the city had good combat effectiveness.

Tang Cheng roughly estimated the number of Japanese corpses he saw, and at least more than 150 Japanese corpses were collected by him. Oh my God, from the time Battalion Commander Yang commanded his troops to rush down the slope until now, in just ten minutes, the number of Japanese soldiers they killed has exceeded 150, which is the establishment of two Japanese squads. Tang Cheng couldn't wait to tell Liu Goat about his discovery, but when he turned his head, he saw Liu Goat's worried eyes, not only worry in those eyes, Tang Cheng even saw regret and sadness.

"Mengcheng can't hold it" From the corner of his eye, he saw that Tang Cheng was looking at him, and Liu Goat gave Tang Cheng an extremely shocking answer. "The Japanese army that fought with us for two days is not their main combat force at all, I look like their baggage logistics troops, those behind the tanks are their main forces, as long as Battalion Commander Yang is eaten by the Japanese army, the casualty rate of the regiment of the 173rd Division will exceed fifty percent, and in the face of the attack of the main force of the Japanese army, Zhou Yuan will definitely not be able to withstand it."

Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't believe his words, Liu Goat pointed to the Japanese soldiers standing in line behind the Japanese tanks and said in a deep voice, "As a commander, you must not regard yourself as a soldier fighting on the battlefield, you must regard yourself as a bystander, only a bystander is the most sober." When you see that the enemy is being beaten badly, you should quickly look away, pay attention to where your position is not good, where there is a crisis, and think about whether you want reinforcements; It is necessary to pay close attention to the movement of the enemy's forces and the movements of the enemy's troops. ”

"Do you see the Japanese soldiers standing behind the tank, have they been in a panic since they appeared? Without the order of the officer leading the group, they stood without the slightest confusion, and in the Japanese army only the disciplined main forces had such military discipline. Since yesterday, the Japanese troops fighting against us have made a series of mistakes in the deployment of troops and the rhythm of their attacks, and if we were to be the main battle unit of the Japanese army, I am afraid that we would not even be able to hold the first day, and we would have been allowed to calmly withdraw to the city. ”

Tang Cheng didn't think of these doubts that Liu Goat said at all, this would be heard by Liu Goat, and after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case. There were at least 1,000 Japanese troops fighting against them for two consecutive days, and such a number of Japanese troops could not hold the positions held by the garrison regiment even when they were equipped with artillery.

"The baggage soldiers are also Japanese soldiers, fighting with them is not our price, our garrison is not even third-rate in the national army, it is already very good to be able to withstand them for two days without retreating, do you still think that Lao Tzu with those rural mud legs can drive these Japanese troops out of the border of Mengcheng?" Liu Goat pretended to look at Tang Cheng with relaxed eyes, but there was a thick unwillingness in his words.

As Liu Goat expected, at the time of talking with Liu Goat in Tangcheng, the soldiers of the battalion commanded by Battalion Commander Yang had been surrounded by the swarming Japanese troops in a dilapidated position, and the Japanese army gave up hand-to-hand contact with the soldiers under Battalion Commander Yang, but chose to distance themselves and clear the soldiers of the 173rd Division on the position one by one with skillful marksmanship. The two rounds of artillery shelling by the Japanese army have already caused heavy casualties to the soldiers under Battalion Commander Yang, and the casualties they paid when they killed two squads of Japanese soldiers actually exceeded half of the casualties of the soldiers under Battalion Commander Yang.

Tang Cheng, who was holding the binoculars, bit his lip tightly, his lower lip was already bleeding from him, but Tang Cheng himself didn't know. "Lao Tzu knows what your kid is thinking, if you think that you can rely on our remaining 20 or so people to kill the Japanese tanks, and by the way, these Japanese troops will be repulsed, then Lao Tzu will not stop you kid. But if you can't do it, Lao Tzu will persuade you to stop this idea as soon as possible, and Lao Tzu can't watch you go to death. Liu Goat rewarded Tang Cheng with a chestnut blow, which was a reminder to this kid who had fallen into madness.

Unlike face-to-face battles with devils, Tang Cheng's viewing of the battlefield through a telescope is a completely different scene, and the sound of machine gun fire is very conspicuous on the battlefield full of gunfire. Tang Cheng's telescope often appeared in threes, threes, twos and threes, and some of the soldiers of the 173rd Division who were moving quickly were shot, and under the powerful impact of the machine gun bullets, the people who were shot would suddenly twist their bodies like puppets with broken strings, and then fall down in a very unnatural posture.

If a soldier who was lucky enough not to be shot stopped to rescue his companion, he would probably be the next to be shot, and the Japanese soldiers also used grenadiers to bombard the assembled soldiers of the 173rd Division. Seeing those explosions in the telescope was just a small gray-black smoke that would soon disperse, and the sound of the explosion came into the ears and was similar to the firecrackers heard during the festival, but every explosion on the battlefield would make Tang Cheng who was watching the battle have an immersive feeling.

Under Tang Cheng's worried gaze, the Japanese tanks began to move forward and continued to bombard the city gates with artillery fire. Tang Cheng was somewhat glad that the target of the Japanese tanks was not the soldiers of the 173rd Division of the battalion that rushed down the slope, but his happiness lasted less than a few seconds before it disappeared, because there was a sharp tearing sound in the sky - the devil's artillery group fired. The main battle unit of the Japanese army stayed out of the situation, allowing the troops of the 173rd Division to melee with their own baggage troops, maybe the Japanese army did this to see the strength of the opponent clearly, but they didn't want to wait now, they finally showed their minions and made a move.

In the sky, there seemed to be shells that would never stop, and there were continuous explosions on the distant position, and the black smoke and flames that accompanied the explosion rose into the air, completely covering the horizon in the distance. Tang Cheng, who was lying in a hole on the slope, all of them had a huge sense of dizziness. "It's over, Mengcheng is finished, and the troops of the 173rd Division are finished." The cold sweat on Tang Cheng's face flowed, and he looked at the battlefield in the distance through the binoculars, hoping that a miracle would happen.

This is a battlefield of life and death, not the fairy tales that Robert told Tang Cheng since he was a child, and of course there will be no miracles, so the defeat of the 173rd Division is a foregone conclusion, and Liu Goat's judgment just now is not wrong at all. If it was now the troops of the 173rd Division that occupied the dominant position on the battlefield, then Tang Cheng would definitely flatter Liu Goat as much as Zhuge Liang, but the current result made Tang Cheng hate Liu Goat's judgment very much, and he even didn't want to deal with Liu Goat.

"Let's go, let's go to Beishan to find nine catties." Liu Goat's words made Tang Cheng glare, he knew that Liu Goat was right, but he just couldn't accept Liu Goat's cold-bloodedness, a few hours ago, they were fighting side by side with the troops of the 173rd Division, but now they are strangers. "Lao Xu, take him away, when is this, still playing childish here, do you want to drag these people to die here with you."
