Chapter 59: Two Days and One Night (7)

The Japanese army is not stupid, it is not easy to break the Guanghua Gate, and Wakisaka Jiro will not be stupid enough to let the troops and the defenders who have already been in the process fight hard, in the face of the actual strength comparison between the two sides, the 36th Wing is not the opponent of the Guanghua Gate defenders at all. Therefore, the order given by Wakisaka Jiro to the troops entering the city was to engage in street battles with the defenders, delay the time to control the main city gate as much as possible, and wait for other Japanese troops in the direction of Chunhua Town to come to reinforce it, and Wakisaka Jiro had even reported to the Ninth Division the record of the 36th Wing in breaking through the Nanjing City Gate.

"Get the little devil out of the city." As soon as Xie Chengrui gave the order, his soldiers rushed out and rushed towards the Japanese army who had just entered the city, strictly speaking, this was not a battle of equal strength. The Japanese army is not the opponent of the defenders in terms of weapon configuration or the number of soldiers, but the angry defenders have completely forgotten their calm, and the national soldiers who rushed out are completely fighting with blood, in the face of the accurate shooting of the Japanese soldiers, one after another the national soldiers fell on the way to charge, and the viscous blood slowly accumulated into a puddle of blood, and then was trampled into mud by the soldiers who came up later.

Liu Goat is just a firehead now, no matter how much he mutters in private, no matter how much he scolds Xie Chengrui and them as shit, Liu Goat still understands, so Liu Goat, who is lying behind the rubble, is trying his best to control his anger, but his whispered muttering has never stopped. Tang Cheng would no longer want to stay away from Liu Goat now, because he was surprised to find that the words that Liu Goat muttered were faster than Xie Chengrui's order, which meant that Xie Chengrui saw the problem, and Liu Goat also saw it, and Liu Goat's idea seemed to be more correct than Xie Chengrui's.

Xie Bo gave Tang Cheng a notebook that recorded his experience on the battlefield over the years, but Xie Bo had already left, and Tang Cheng could not learn to fight and become a real officer with a notebook, so now, Tang Cheng was ready to learn more things about battlefield survival from Liu Goat, he believed that Liu Goat might be a good teacher, but Liu Goat himself didn't know about it.

The offensive continued, although Xie Chengrui's soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, he still insisted on retaking the main city gate independently, and the military police training regiment and the troops of the 87th Division were not good at arguing with Xie Chengrui, so they had to follow his wishes. It was another round of attack, another round of attack repelled by the Japanese army, the corpses of the soldiers killed in the battle covered the streets, and the soldiers who had been shot and wounded and had not yet died were lying in the pile of corpses screaming and moaning, listening to Tang Cheng's heartbreak as uncomfortable, as if a big hand grabbed his heart violently, and then pinched and released it vigorously.

"You can't fight like this anymore, if you can't retake the city gates, your troops will be wiped out." Yi Anhua grabbed Xie Chengrui in anger, and then pulled Xie Chengrui aside and whispered persuasion. Even if you have the rank of colonel, if you don't have soldiers under your command, then your colonel is not as good as a small second lieutenant. Yi Anhua will persuade Xie Chengrui with words, naturally for Xie Chengrui's good, if Xie Chengrui, who was born in Huangpu, tosses himself into a bare-bones commander, then he will really be laughed out of his big teeth.

After Xie Chengrui calmed down for a while, he ordered all the officers of the regiment except for the rotating sentry to gather in front of him, and Xie Chengrui, who had calmed down, first screened the soldiers under his command roughly, and Xie Chengrui gathered all the light and heavy machine guns of the whole regiment, and selected 20 people who were good at machine guns to form a machine gun platoon. Twenty people with accurate rifles are formed into a sniper platoon, and forty strong and strong people are selected to form a death squad at any time.

After Xie Chengrui finished assigning the task, Tang Cheng, who was lying on the rubble guard, was puzzled and asked Liu Goat beside him, "Uncle Liu, don't we want to take back the city gate first?" They look like they're setting up a formation, is that useful? ”

"Does it work? Of course it works. Liu Goat put the cigarette in his mouth but didn't light it, "The surname Xie will rearrange the deployment of troops and firepower, it seems that he wants to make a ruthless move on the little devil." Liu Goat didn't say what the ruthless move was, and Tang Cheng didn't continue to ask, the two looked at the second regiment with a tacit understanding, wanting to see what tricks Xie Chengrui had come up with.

The new round of battle began with the artillery company of the Second Regiment starting to bombard the city gate, which was the same as Liu Goat's estimate, Xie Chengrui used the stupidest but also the most secure trick this time. He first ordered his artillery company to block the city gate with artillery fire, and then used light and heavy machine guns to suppress the formation and rely on intensive fire to block the advance of the Japanese troops entering the city, and then it was a duel between those sharpshooters and Japanese veterans. And when everyone is attracted by the battle, Xie Chengrui's death squad will take the opportunity to move forward, and on the battlefield full of corpses, the death squad members can easily find something to cover themselves.

"Up, up." Not only Liu Shanyang and Tang Cheng were paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, but even Jiujin and Nian Zi had been paying attention, and the moment the death squad rushed up, Jiujin couldn't help but cry out. The shouting of nine catties did not attract the white eyes of Liu Goat, but attracted Xie Chengrui and Yi Anhua, seeing that Liu Goat and the four of them were also here, Xie Chengrui's face showed a hint of discoloration. Sending Liu Goat to be the head soldier is Xie Chengrui's staff officer's suggestion, before this thorn does not want to do his best to teach the second regiment, the best way is to toss him, but toss hard, until Liu Goat is out of temper.

To tell the truth, Xie Chengrui didn't want to do this, Liu Goat was indeed an expert in fighting, but here was the Second Regiment of Teaching, Liu Goat dared to shout at himself in front of so many soldiers for a small corporal, if he didn't punish Liu Goat, he would not be able to lead troops in the Second Regiment in the future, so Xie Chengrui acquiesced to the advice of his staff officers. This will suddenly see Liu Goat and the three soldiers under him, Xie Chengrui's heart suddenly has an urge to scold.

"Didn't I already arrange for you to go to the room to help? Why are you still here? Pretending to observe the battle ahead with a telescope, Xie Chengrui asked Liu Goat loudly with an indifferent face. In the entire teaching of the Second Regiment, Xie Chengrui is naturally the character who speaks effectively, but Liu Goat is not a person who belongs to them to teach the Second Regiment, so Xie Chengrui can transfer Liu Goat to the errand of the fire head soldiers, but he has no right to dismiss Liu Goat from his military position, although Liu Goat is just a small captain.

Liu Goat spoke in a low voice, but there were gunshots and explosions everywhere, and Liu Goat's voice was not very loud, so Xie Chengrui didn't hear it clearly at all, but it was the same whether he heard it or not, and when Liu Goat's mouth didn't move, Xie Chengrui turned his head with the telescope and left. "Aren't those soldiers under you just now?" Yi Anhua asked the cold-faced Xie Chengrui in a low voice, he could already see that something was wrong from Xie Chengrui's expression just now, but in front of Liu Goat, Yi Anhua didn't ask.

"I have such a big face, they are a company of the 88th Division withdrawn from Shanghai, when the 88th Division retreated from Shanghai, a battalion was left behind the Sixing warehouse, this company is the person behind the battalion, a few days ago I helped me defend the forward position for a while, but only four people were left who were beaten, which is the four you saw, and the one who replied was their company commander." Xie Chengrui smiled a little self-deprecatingly, even though he and Yi Anhua were acquaintances, Xie Chengrui still didn't tell Yi Anhua the truth.

"It's Xie Jinyuan's person." After listening to Xie Chengrui's words, Yi Anhua couldn't help but look back at the pile of rubble, when the troops assembled in Shanghai were evacuated that day, Xie Jinyuan was ordered to break off, and there was only one dissatisfied infantry battalion by his side, relying on the solidity and position of the Sixing warehouse, Xie Jinyuan forced the Japanese army to take him There is no way, if the government did not order Xie Jinyuan to lead his troops to withdraw into the concession, I am afraid that the Sixing warehouse is still in Xie Jinyuan's hands.

Yi Anhua is subordinate to the 87th Division, the 87th Division and the 88th Division are the guard troops of the Gongwei Mansion, Yi Anhua and Xie Jinyuan also know each other, and the Liu goats who listened to them are Xie Jinyuan's subordinates, and Yi Anhua couldn't help but be hearted. Xie Chengrui didn't let Liu Goat and them leave, and besides, his Second Regiment was seriously short of personnel after a few days of fighting, Xie Chengrui now hated to even pull the military doctor to fight, and it didn't matter if Liu Goat and the four of them stayed here.

Seeing that Xie Chengrui no longer paid attention to himself, Liu Goat immediately came to his senses, and while pulling out his shell gun to check the magazine, he asked the mill to be ready to fire with a machine gun at any time. "The little devils have already entered the city, there are ruins everywhere, it is not advantageous to fight them with a spear, or our short gun is the most suitable." Seeing that Liu Goat was checking his shell gun, Tang Cheng opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, he wanted to ask Liu Goat if he came, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

The battle has already been fought to this point, not everyone who wants to leave can do it, and besides, the Japanese army has now attacked the city, if they all want to retreat and retreat, I am afraid that the whole of Nanjing will be occupied by the Japanese army, and by that time, no one here will want to leave Nanjing alive. As long as he understands this, Tang Cheng can understand why Liu Goat is doing this at this time, rather than being chased by the Japanese army all the way and secretly living, it is better to fight face-to-face with the Japanese army, Liu Goat is such a character.

After Xie Chengrui readjusted his tactics, he taught the veterans of the Second Regiment to use their own corpses as cover, and used rifles to shoot at the Japanese troops entering the city, and the artillery used mortars to suppress the Japanese machine gun fire on the city gate, and then Xie Chengrui's machine gunners used strong firepower to block the offensive route of the Japanese troops entering the city, and under the joint efforts of several parties, the Japanese troops entering the city were temporarily blocked from continuing to advance, and at this time Xie Chengrui's death squad had moved to a place only 20 meters away from the advance of the Japanese troops entering the city.
