Chapter 71: Stick to the Zhonghua Gate
Just when Gao Zhisong was surprised by Ye Hang and Zhu Chi's compliments, the little devil suddenly launched a fierce attack, and the overwhelming artillery bombardment smashed towards the Zhonghuamen position! The soldiers of the two brigades quickly hid behind the bunkers, and they were accustomed to shelling the soldiers of the two brigades like the little devil, whether it was in the Yuhuatai position or the Zhonghuamen position, every time the devil launched an attack, he would first carry out large-scale artillery bombardment, followed by air raids and bombing, and finally the infantry was rushing to the position. Ye Hang and the others watched closely behind the bunker, listening to the rumbling of artillery on the position, as well as the buzzing sound of the devil's plane flying back and forth, which was almost the same as the attack of the little devils in the Yuhuatai position.
Soon the shelling of the devils was over, and the Zhonghuamen position was bombed as cratered as the surface of the moon.
"Damn, little Japan's shells don't cost money. It's so chaotic that the ears of the guys are deaf. Zhu Chi couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and said to Ye Hang and Gao Zhisong, who were full of gunpowder smoke beside him.
"This is just a small meaning, the little devil still uses poison gas bombs, or we can't take it down from the rain flower platform! Hey, Yuhuatai is lost, and Zhonghua Gate is about to be fast. Gao Zhisong said, and couldn't help but sigh here.
Zhu Chi and the others of the 262nd Brigade were also full of sadness when they heard this, so that the Zhonghua Gate was attacked on both sides, so the Zhonghua Gate really couldn't hold out for long.
While everyone was pondering, the devil's infantry unit had already rushed up, looking at the large Japanese army that could not be seen at a glance, the position that had been cultivated countless times long ago now looked very decadent. The Type 89 Type B tank spewed a vicious tongue of fire, and the fire organized by the infantry and machine guns was like a whip viciously whipping the Zhonghua Gate position.
The little devils who shouted that they had completely lost their humanity and were still brave in the face of the equally fierce defenders. One by one, they fell, and those behind rushed forward with the corpses. The rampage Type 89 Type B tank used its own steel armor to block the **** fire, followed by the Japanese army who followed on foot.
Zhu Chigang wanted the death squad to come forward and blow up the chariot of the little devil! Ye Hang immediately stopped Zhu Chi and asked Night Rose to go and destroy the little devil's chariot. Waiting for Ye Hang's order, Night Rose quickly took down the M82A1 from his back, quickly lay on the position, loaded the bullet, aimed at the Japanese tank, quickly pulled the trigger, and only heard a few explosions, and the tank that was brave and fearless just now was now paralyzed.
Zhu Chi looked at the gun in the hands of Night Rose and Night Rose who blew up the devil chariot with a shocked face, "This is incredible, what kind of gun is this, and how can it be so powerful?" Zhu Chi asked impatiently.
"This is the latest large-caliber sniper rifle developed by the United States, and it is only in the experimental stage and has not been put into production!" Ye Hang looked at Zhu Chi, who was shocked, and hurriedly explained, Ye Hang can only say this, do you want to sue him that this was bought from the system mall?
"Oh! It turned out to be a Yankee thing, but I thought it was German? Gao Zhisong said on the side.
"Old Gao, have you ever seen this weapon?" Zhu Chi asked Gao Zhisong in surprise.
"Isn't this nonsense? Are they the devils who fought with me in the Yuhuatai position for several days? Old Zhu, how about you come to my pistol," Gao Zhisong took the Desert Eagle of the Night Rose in his hand and said to Zhu Chi.
"Isn't it just a pistol? What's the matter, when I'm done fighting devils, I'll show you my Browning so you know what a good gun is? Zhu Chi looked at the Desert Eagle in Gao Zhisong's hand and couldn't help but reach out to take it, but Gao Zhisong dodged it. Zhu Chi said a little unpleasantly.
"Hey, hey! Your Browning probably can't even match half of my precious pistol? Gao Zhisong said to Zhu Chi without slashing.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! Lao Tzu went up to fight devils. Zhu Chi looked at Gao Zhisong's proud appearance, his face was unhappy, and he turned around and rushed to the front of the position with his staff officers and guards.
Looking at Zhu Chi's back, Gao Zhisong shook his head with a smile This old Zhu, "Brothers! We're on it too! He shouted at the soldiers of the 264th Brigade who were resting behind him and ran in the direction of Zhu Chi.
"You guys have a good rest in the morning and recuperate, and help the field hospital take care of the wounded soldiers, and I can go alone." Looking at the girls who were about to rush up with guns, Ye Hang immediately stopped them. Let them stay.
Seeing that Nanjing, which was already unrecognizable, was once again pulled into the abyss of war. The defenders on the city walls were desperately trying to suppress the Japanese troops below with heavy guns, and on the positions outside the city, the soldiers were lying in the trenches and constantly pulling the trigger, and the soldiers responsible for carrying ammunition were running quickly in the trenches. Crates of ammunition were constantly being sent to the forward positions.
Because the little devils did not have infantry fighting vehicles as cover, they were killed one by one by the **** soldiers defending the city. The battle lasted fiercely for more than an hour, and finally the two sides engaged in white-knives fighting, Ye Hang's Nepalese saber flew up and down, hacking and wounding more than 20 devils, and the devils' team was finally beaten back.
The defenders cheered loudly from the position.
In the garrison headquarters in Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, sat on a chair and looked at the military map gloomily, and Luo Zhuoying, the deputy commander, said: "The 9th Division of the Japanese Army has occupied Niushou Mountain, Chunhua and other outer positions. The Japanese army dropped poison gas bombs on the Yuhuatai position, the Yuhuatai position had been lost, and the 264th Brigade retreated to Zhonghua Gate. Together with the 262nd Brigade guarding Zhonghua Gate, they repelled a large-scale attack by the 114th Division, and now the Japanese army has gathered a large number of troops to pounce on Guanghua Gate, Tongji Gate and Zhonghua Gate. And the 16th Division has already converged with the 9th Division, and Nanjing may not be guaranteed! ”
Tang Shengzhi looked at the map on the wall, and his heart felt like he had been cut by a knife, Nanjing, Nanjing! How to keep? Yuhuatai was lost, the Japanese army's encirclement of the entire capital was about to be formed, and the other armies were struggling to support their own defensive lines, and the two disabled brigades of the 88th Division did not know how long they could hold on to Zhonghua Gate! They simply did not have the troops to reinforce them, and now only the gendarmerie units were left to mobilize.
"Telegraphed to Yang Qing and told him to hurry up and take his gendarmerie troops to the Zhonghua Gate for support, and the Zhonghua Gate must not be lost!" Tang Shengzhi pounded his fist on the location of the Zhonghua Gate on the map and said fiercely.
The signal corps began to get busy, and the sound of the radio ticking became the main theme of the entire Nanjing Garrison Headquarters.
Tang Shengzhi looked at the exhausted Luo Zhuoying beside him and said, "You Qing, you haven't rested for a few days, right?" Hurry down and go to sleep, watch your body. Here a qiē has me. Luo Zhuoying wanted to say something, but as soon as Tang Shengzhi said this, he walked outside.
