Fang Shuhong's face was very bad, no wonder he, one division, two brigades, six regiments, nearly 8,000 people, just one day and night, he lost more than 2,000 people, and added more than 1,000 wounded, and then counting the regiment that is still behind and the little devil and the loss in the city, the battle damage of his division has exceeded 50 percent, which makes him feel so good.

Ouyang Yun greeted him from afar: "Master Fang! How's the front? How long do you think it will last? ”

Fang Shuhong did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "Commander, is it our turn to cross the river?" ”

"Yes."

Fang Shuhong's brows furrowed, he turned to look at the battlefield where the flames were flickering, and said, "Just leave a regiment to defend?" ”

"Three regiments, the 1st Jiangsu Security Division will leave two regiments. The Japanese on the solo side also suffered heavy losses, and he will draw a regiment to fill your defenses. ”

"That should be able to drag us across the river."

"Let's go!"

"What about Brigadier Shan? Haven't come back yet? ”

"Don't wait for him, let's go first, we only have so many boats, it's not realistic to cross the river together. Shan Brigade Commander was born as a special soldier, so don't worry about him. ”

Fang Shuhong was silent, turned around and looked in the direction of the battlefield again, his heart was sad, and he said secretly: "Brothers, you can go with peace of mind, my Uncle Hong swears that my hatred, I will one day get back ten times from Little Japan." ”

Ten minutes later, Ouyang Yun and Fang Shuhong boarded the boat to cross the river. Ouyang Yun stood at the bow of the ship, looking in the direction where the lone male was stationed, and saw that the fireball caused by the explosion there flickered differently, and the dull explosion sound was even more earth-shattering, and his face couldn't help but become a little heavy.

Ouyang Yun believed that with the ability of the single male and the special forces of the Broadsword Regiment under his command, they would definitely have no problem getting out. The problem is that once he is afraid that his departure will affect the safety of the entire defense line, he will definitely choose to stay. At that time, once the Japanese army breaks through the defense line of the 114th Division and forms a sandwich, it will be difficult for him to escape, even if he has the ability to reach the sky.

I don't know if the Japanese army noticed something, but not long after Ouyang Yun and them boarded the ship, the Japanese gunboats cruising on the water surface of Xiaguan fired their guns violently again, and half of the shells were poured into the position of the single male garrison.

Although he is only a deputy brigade commander now, in Ouyang Yun's heart, his status is no worse than He Zheng's demotion to the level of division commander.

Xu saw the worry in his heart, and Fang Shuhong said softly: "Commander, this round of shelling by the Japanese gunboats is quite sharp!" Do they want to make a desperate gamble and break through in one fell swoop? ”

"It's possible, the night is good for us after all. The Japanese army must have been afraid of long nights and dreams. ”

Ouyang Yun was not bad, Matsui Shigen was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he let go of him, a big fish, so he ordered the troops besieging Nanjing to fight overnight, in order to break the deadlock in one fell swoop.

On the east side of the defense line of Shimonoseki Wharf, a single male sat in the trench with his back to the direction of the Japanese attack, and quickly pressed bullets into the magazine. The density of the Japanese artillery bombardment in this round was unprecedented, and for the large-caliber naval guns, the trenches they dug out in the leisure time of the battle were like paper paste. At this time, dodging is useless, and the key is to depend on everyone's fortune. Take the solo male, for example, he has been staying here since eight o'clock in the evening, but he has not been favored by a single cannonball. And with his light, several old ruffians of the First Security Division and the two brothers of the Broadsword Regiment who stayed near him had never been bombarded, and they were holding guns at this time, when they heard about the New Year's firecrackers.

The solo male thought as he reloaded his bullets.

The combat effectiveness of the Jiangsu First Security Division is really too poor, fortunately, he saw the opportunity early, and asked the commander early to ask the commander for a regiment of Sichuan soldiers to come to the town, otherwise, the first security division at this time must have collapsed. Thinking of the Sichuan soldiers, he looked to the left, and there, there was a platoon of Sichuan soldiers stationed there. These Sichuan soldiers, he was originally not optimistic about Lu, why, the equipment is really poor, which leads to the fact that the quality of the soldiers must be Erer. Although the commander later helped them replace the equipment from the inside out, what does it matter? The so-called change of soup does not change the medicine. It is precisely because of this knot that when he first saw this support army, the single man Xiong didn't give the Sichuan Corps Commander Wang Youcai a good face, and even slandered Ouyang Yun's arrangement, thinking that the commander was fooling himself. Now, of course, he doesn't have that in mind. The military quality of these Sichuan soldiers is really not very good, but they are willing to work hard! Moreover, the morale is high, not only the morale of their own troops is high, but also the morale of friendly troops, you don't see, as long as they shout: "Ge Laozi!" Fight! The mules of the first division of the surrounding security guards also followed the "whoop" as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and a group of guys who looked like turtles were now fighting decently. Ha! The so-called people can't be disguised, and the sea can't fight, and it's just as appropriate to use it on the battlefield, right? Now it seems that fortunately, the commander sent this group of "Ge Laozi", otherwise-"Brothers, cheer up!" The little devil is hitting again! The solo male was still pondering, when suddenly there was a loud shout from the left, and then the explosion suddenly stopped. At the same time, the gunfire became intense.

"This Wang Youcai's voice is really good!" The single ambition joked in his heart, the person had already turned around and lay on the edge of the trench, he looked up and saw the devils rushing over under the flares, and he also roared: "The turtle son of the security division, the Sichuan soldiers won a lottery just now, this time it is our turn to work hard!" Brothers, beat him up enough to raise his mother. He roared on his lips, and his hands were not ambiguous, and as soon as the muzzle of the gun poked out, "Da Da" spat out flames, and several people immediately fell down headlong at the devil who rushed towards him.

It was a treacherous battle. The devils on the opposite side made a collective charge at every turn, just half an hour ago, he was talking to Ouyang Yun on the phone, and the devils rushed over overwhelmingly, and they didn't even start firing flares when they were only thirty meters away from them. At that time, if Wang Youcai hadn't decisively led his brothers out of the trench to fight bayonets with the other party, this line of defense must have been lost.

Ouyang Yun asked him on the phone to leave a regiment to defend and lead the others to evacuate and prepare to cross the river. However, the situation here could not allow him to do so. Not to mention that it is a difficult problem to designate which regiment to stay behind, even if the officers and men of the regiment are united and willing to die for their country, the question is, can they withstand a charge of this scale from little devils? You must know that there is no regiment with more than 500 soldiers now. It's really heart-wrenching to think about, including the Sichuan Corps, there are more than 4,000 people on the battlefield, but so far, there are less than 2,000 left, and among them, there are about 500 wounded soldiers. Commander, although you had the foresight to dig out the Sichuan soldiers, the tiger dressed as pigs, but now, you have misestimated the situation here.

The single ambition once again slandered Ouyang Yun, his hand did not stop, the trigger was buckled, and after putting down three more devils, he finally repelled this round of Japanese attack again.

They are not happy with the single male, and the Marine devils of the opposite wing are not having a good time, no, there is no wing left, from the afternoon to now, the devils of this wing have only half of the wing left.

After more than six hours of fierce fighting, not to mention the heavy losses, the soldiers on both sides were actually tired. And the reason why it has been able to hold on to the present is that the defenders are of course because there is a breath of stalk, while the Japanese side is because there is a huge hope flickering ahead. Of course, no matter how lovely this hope is, and how good the prospect is, the little devils have no momentum. As it is now, the attack was repulsed in less than a quarter of an hour, and in the afternoon, the longest battle between the two sides lasted for nearly an hour!

The sky is getting darker and darker, and on the river, the gunboats of the Third Fleet have begun to slowly withdraw from the battlefield. On the surface of the water at this lower level, the Japanese gunboats were not invincible. The few self-propelled guns of the Cadet Corps may not be enough to pose a threat, but the two gunboats captured by the Japanese are ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time. Just now, the two ships bombarded a Japanese ship as if they had agreed on it, and almost sank the gunboat. The commander of the Third Fleet, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, should still be reluctant to give up these two gunboats, so he resolutely chose to withdraw from the battle when he felt that he had already mastered the battle situation, and he did not want to lose any more gunboats under his command.

The solo male did not notice the abnormality of the Third Fleet at first, and out of inertia, after repelling the Japanese attack, he inspected the position for a while, dealt with some special situations, and then sat back in his old place again, and began to load the bullets and wipe the guns.

At this time, Ouyang Yun had already crossed the river safely. Then, he noticed an anomaly in the Japanese Third Fleet.

Fang Shuhong also noticed this, and he said to Ouyang Yun: "Strange, the little devil's fleet has retreated!" Are they afraid of fighting at night? ”

Ouyang Yun also felt strange, and in order to confirm the situation, he called Cai Xing. After getting confirmation from Cai Xing, he immediately informed Shan Renxiong of the situation and asked him to retreat at the right time.

As soon as the single man got the news, he was also very surprised, he quickly ran to the end of the trench near the river, picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the Japanese retreat, and saw that the shadowy lights were drifting downstream.

This is indeed a good opportunity to retreat, and it can even be said that this village will be without this shop. On the back line, the fighting was still fierce, and according to the commander, only one regiment of the 114th Division remained there. In other words, it is a matter of time before it is broken through, and once the back side is broken through, and the enemy on both sides of your side is attacked, then the only way to survive is to jump the Yangtze River.

Well! Bet it once!
