Before dawn, Hu Yang, Cao Zijin, and Guan Shijie all quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After their troops suffered huge casualties, reinforcements came from behind. Zhang Sixing did not give them much reinforcements. Each battalion added a company of fruit troops equipped with pistols and swords.

By using the delta wing to bomb the Japanese attack for the last time before dawn, everyone including Zhu Chi, the commander of the 262nd Brigade who came with the Guojun Pistol Battalion, was extremely satisfied with the results of the night.

A division, a whole division, although its strength was reduced in the early battle with the Guo army, it was almost completely wiped out overnight, which is an out-and-out fact.

Throughout the night, men from three pistol battalions chased behind them and continued to suppress them with semi-automatic fire. Of course, the most important thing was the delta wing in the sky. Wherever there were many, they dropped a bunch of bombs.

Facts have proved that cluster bombs may not have as much charge as a large artillery shell, but when the submunitions disperse and explode, the panic caused by the area of ​​​​destruction is simply not something ordinary soldiers can resist.

However, the most ferocious killings did not reach their climax until the main part of the remnants of the 114th Division approached Ande Gate and Fengtai Gate.

Lighting equipment appeared in the sky, and it was not the gas lanterns towed by the delta kites, nor the Kongming lantern-style hot air balloons. It was Zhang Sixing and his flying team, with gas lanterns hung on the two sharp corners of the delta wings.

On the suddenly bright battlefield, there seemed to be countless scattered Japanese infantry in a chaotic mess. Most of them had no weapons, and they threw away almost all their weapons and ammunition when they fled.

Opposite them was a fire net composed of tanks, armored vehicles and HMG42 machine guns.

On the plain, the infantrymen illuminated by the lights from the sky were almost instantly shocked by the violent massacre by machine guns. They turned their heads and ran desperately towards the darkness of the way they came.

The soldiers of the three battalions there were holding box cannons and firing rapidly, forming a wall of fire that could not be overcome by the numbers of people.

Another group of people turned around and ran forward desperately. Then the two forces collided head-on. As a result, everyone was squeezed and unable to move. This was the largest rout of the 114th Division.

This was the result of the delta wing using bombs to drive them into the center when they all fled after the entire 114th Division's defense line was destroyed.

As a Category B division, the 114th Division has as many as 24,000 troops when fully equipped. Although it has never rested from the Songhu battlefield to the Jinling battlefield, it still has at least nearly 20,000 troops at this moment.

There are indeed a lot of people, but under the silent aerial attack of the delta wing, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer under the cluster bombs at one time. And the bombing for several hours has once again revealed Zhang Sixing's understanding:

In World War II, whoever controls the sky controls the world. There is no chance.

In terms of army, the German army can be said to be the strongest in the world. However, when the B17s of the American imperialists flew to Germany and started bombing indiscriminately, the war became a competition of the comprehensive strength of the country that the soldiers did not recognize and lived outside the battlefield.

You must know that the United States alone produced 300,000 aircraft and 147 aircraft carriers during World War II. After Roosevelt's New Deal, its overall strength was indeed strong at the time.

The massacre gradually stopped when the sky was getting dark. The early morning light gave the broken Japanese soldiers a sense of direction. The broken people ran desperately to the east, to the defense area of ​​the Japanese 9th Division.

But Zhu Chi also felt tired after fighting all night. When he saw Zhang Sixing asking his pistol battalion to join the defense of Ande Gate and Fengtai Gate, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"Well, I can't control other people's troops. The pistol battalion of my 262nd Brigade has to return to its original form. After all, the Yuhuatai position is more important than here. Besides..."

Covering up his excitement of defeating and annihilating most of the 114th Division overnight, Zhu Chi also suggested to the three parachute school officers in front of him:

"I don't know what Principal Zhang is thinking. The preset positions built here have long been destroyed by Japanese heavy artillery. The old city wall system here has long been unusable. In my opinion... I am afraid it is not suitable to hold on here."

Regarding the attitude of Zhu Chi, the commander of the 262nd Brigade in front of him, Cao Zijin suppressed his anger and said,

"Brigadier Zhu, our commander asked us to hold on here, so of course he has a reason to hold on. You want to take your pistol battalion to leave. I'm afraid it's a bit uninteresting. After all, our commander also led you to a great victory."

As a former military police officer, of course Cao Zijin spoke in Mandarin. He was especially concerned about Zhu Chi's face and did not say that his wife had married into the house and the matchmaker had been thrown into the trap.

In comparison, Guan Shijie's words can be heard much more,

"Damn it, I've already seen that seven of you are dissatisfied and eight are dissatisfied. This time, our commander is blind and saw the wrong person. I'll give you such a great contribution that you won't even be able to exchange for a fucking pistol battalion."

Come, people named Zhu, our green hills will not change and our green waters will always flow..."

Hu Yang's lips moved, but unfortunately he was only a company commander or a second lieutenant, so naturally there was no place for him to speak.

But from then on, the last bit of pride he had as a German weapon master was completely lost in his heart. He also really looked down upon the style of the Guojun officers.

Not to mention anyone else, let's talk about Lu Feizhou and the others. When they heard that the troops from the Parachute School had suffered losses at Andemen and Fengtai Sixth, they called the commander to change the battle plan and take the initiative to attack.

Thinking of this, he grinned, and then said to Cao Zijin and Guan Shijie,

"Lieutenant, since Brigadier Zhu has other plans, there is no need to persuade the two of you. Let's go back to the command post and listen to the news over there!"

While speaking, his chin was raised in the direction of Guanyin Mountain and Jiangjun Mountain.

Feeling that it was not worth talking to Zhu Chi anymore, Cao Zijin and the soldiers Guan Shijie looked at each other, and then nodded together. Guan Shijie obviously didn't bother to say anything more to Zhu Chi, but Cao Zijin glanced at Zhu Chi, shook his head slightly and whispered

,

"You have such a face as a German mechanic!"

After saying that, the three of them walked towards the joint command post together, still discussing as they walked.

"After Lu Feizhou's side has finished his work, send everyone up to dig holes for individual soldiers. Besides, we are a little short of manpower. There are a lot of weapons and ammunition thrown by the Japanese on the battlefield over there. No one should have time to help us clean them up.

Already."

Watching the three people walking away, they stood on the broken city wall of Andemen again, looking at the battlefield ahead.

The individual soldier holes dug up the ground like pockmarks. It was obvious that the paratrooper school suffered a lot of casualties under the Japanese heavy artillery attack last night. However, in this gap, no one should be able to help them.

As for why he didn't leave his pistol battalion behind, you must know that in the entire 262nd Brigade, if the troops are the best equipped, to put it bluntly, even if the front line collapses, this pistol battalion can protect him back to Jinling.

Although he knew that his choice would offend Zhang Sixing, after all, he was just a major and belonged to the German officer corps, and he had no direct authority over him.

Looking at the vast sky, I told myself this:
Chapter completed!
