Soon, Ji Hongru ordered more than a hundred death squads to accompany him to charge. These death squads did not drink a glass of wine to strengthen their courage before setting off to the battlefield, as shown in the TV series.
They went there with passion, without any material encouragement or any reward. They went without hesitation, with their love for the motherland and their hatred for the Japanese devils.
Who is young and not frivolous? I want to compete with God!
The future of a country has always been determined by its youth. Strong young people will make the country strong, and young people with wisdom will make the country wise.
If a young man is not strong, how can a young man become so poor?
Ji Hongru went to the battlefield with more than a hundred young soldiers, and they were death squads!
These hundreds of soldiers carry machetes on their backs, rifles in their hands, and four or five grenades on their waists. These are the "elaborate packages" they want to prepare for the little devils.
"Throw a grenade!" Ji Hongru yelled as he approached the sand pile, already holding a grenade with the cover in his hand!
"呲流~"
"呲流~"
"呲流~"
The grenades, which pulled the rope and sprayed blue smoke, were thrown out between the sand and gravel of the city gate.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The sound of explosions was heard endlessly, accompanied by the screams of Japanese soldiers.
"Go!" Ji Hongru took the lead and took the lead with the Zhongzheng rifle in his hand.
Ji Hongru, who was the first to climb up the gravel pile, found that the Japanese troops outside had temporarily retreated. Soon, a row of Japanese rifles lined up in two rows and fired at the gap in the gravel at the city gate.
Ji Hongru is not that kind of nerd who only reads dead books. On the contrary, he is very smart and witty.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he quickly retreated to the back. There was no need for him to make unnecessary sacrifices.
At this moment, many officers and soldiers also swarmed onto the city wall, and then shot wildly at the Japanese troops outside the city gate.
The Japanese offensive was immediately frustrated, but the Japanese had no intention of stopping the attack. Soon, they launched another fierce attack on Guanghua Gate under the cover of tanks and artillery.
The fighting at Guanghua Gate this morning was extremely fierce. The city gate was blocked and broken, and broken and blocked.
Under the orders of commander Wang Yaowu of the 51st Division, Ji Hongru, the new commander of the 302nd Regiment, led the death squads to launch several counterattacks without success, and the situation was once very critical.
After the news of the crisis in the direction of Guanghuamen reached the underground office of the Ministry of Railways, Liao Ken, the chief of staff of the Garrison Commander's Department, directly said to his subordinate, Tan Daoping, the chief of the first section of the staff office: "I personally Check the phone at Guanghua Gate, and I'll talk to you every ten minutes. If the phone doesn't work, then the situation is over, and you can make other preparations!"
After saying that, Liao Ken left the staff office without looking back and immediately went directly to Guanghua Gate with a few officers and soldiers.
Soon, Liao Ken, who had arrived at Guanghua Gate, called back to the staff office of the garrison headquarters. It turned out that all the Japanese troops who had entered the city had been wiped out, and the reinforcements from the teaching corps and a regiment of the 87th Division were also gone. They have arrived, but Japanese tanks line up on the campus and often attack like city gates.
It was not until the afternoon that the Chinese army transferred four small steel cannons from the city and destroyed one of the Japanese tanks. The Japanese army began to retreat and withdrew directly across the Zhonghe Bridge. The school grounds were recovered.
Compared with the excitement and thrills of Guanghua Gate, the Zhiyi Regiment seemed calm. After Song Xilian received the order to be on guard along the river, he sent the main force of the 216th Regiment and the three battalions of the Zhiyi Regiment to direct They were sent out to guard and seize the ships of various troops.
Regarding the matter of seizing the ships of various troops, Song Xilian is not the kind of dull person. It is now time. If he completely implements the orders of Commander Tang, he is afraid of offending many people. Normally, he is not afraid of offending people, but this is a war period. , and it’s total war!
So Song Xilian privately gave Zhang Shaoxun and Zhang Tianhai some hints, probably turning a blind eye, but he also knew in his heart that if the troops wanted to hide the ships, there was absolutely nothing he could do against them. .
"Yulin, tell me! If you were the commander, how would you fight this battle?" Standing on the tower, Song Xilian looked in the direction of Guanghua Gate and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Does Master mean our army?" Zhang Tianhai asked cautiously, for fear of making Master unhappy.
"No, I'm talking about the Japanese army. If you were the Japanese commander, how would you command this siege?" Song Xilian looked at Zhang Tianhai.
Song Xilian's eyes shocked Zhang Tianhai. This situation was too much like the teacher asking questions in elementary school. However, he quickly calmed down and said directly: "If he becomes the commander of the Japanese army, he will immediately Mobilizing heavy artillery and knocking down the city wall was not possible, so the engineers dug in the ground and advanced, buried explosives under the city wall, blew down the city wall, and then opened breaches from multiple directions, and then captured the outer city!"
"What if you are the commander responsible for guarding the city wall? Are you confident that you can win this battle?" Song Xilian took another question from Zhang Tianhai.
"Master, you already have the answer in your mind, why bother asking me?" Zhang Tianhai said with a wry smile.
Song Xilian sighed and then changed the topic: "Hey, I don't know how the 213th Regiment, Commander Gu, and his regiment are doing. I heard that the 41st Division was fighting very hard. Some of the main forces of the Japanese army will The Qixia Mountain position was completely surrounded, but fortunately the Qixia Mountain position was shot from above, otherwise with the momentum of the Japanese attack, the 41st Division and the 213th Regiment would have been gone long ago."
"Master, please rest assured! Commander Gu and the others will be fine for sure." Zhang Tianhai said with confidence, because he knew that Gu Baoyu later became the division commander of the expeditionary force and would not die in the battle to defend Nanjing. , so he has this confidence.
"I hope..." Song Xilian's eyes were full of worry, but he didn't realize that Zhang Tianhai's expression was more worried than him.
…
On the same day, the 58th Division on the Niushou Mountain side fought fiercely with the enemy for a whole day. Later, a right detachment sent by the 88th Division retreated prematurely, resulting in a loophole in the position. The Japanese army took the opportunity to pursue to the northwest. Among them, the advance troops actually took the opportunity to capture Dasheng Pass, and there was a tendency to invade north along the Yangtze River.
At this time, the 58th Division's position was isolated and had to wait until after night before being ordered to retreat, and jointly with the 51st Division to guard Songjia'ao in Shuangjian Town (that is, Shuangzha Town).
On the same day, the 41st Division and the 213th Regiment of the 36th Division launched a battle for key points with the enemies besieging Qixia Mountain. They advanced three times and retreated three times, resulting in heavy casualties. The division, together with the 213th Regiment, took the opportunity to break out of the Qixia Mountain position that afternoon and moved to the Shuiximen position of the 48th Division on the east-west line of Heshangqiao.
Among them, after retreating to the position of the 48th Division, the 213th Regiment received an order from the division commander Song Xilian and immediately rushed towards Yijiangmen. However, fifteen minutes later, the order was canceled. The specific reason unknown.
