Chapter 060 Bloody Battle to the End

88th Division 262 Brigade Headquarters Command Post.

Under the dim light of the lantern, Brigadier Zhu and his deputy were studying the enemy and enemy offensive and defensive maps of the Nanjing Defense War.

The situation in the battle to defend Nanjing is not optimistic.

Despite the blessing of gas masks, the Japanese gas war during the day still caused many casualties to the 262 Brigade.

In particular, the 82nd Highland was almost lost, and the 524th Regiment, including its leader, died heroically for the country.

The 523rd regiment also suffered a heavy defeat, and the entire regiment once again lost nearly a hundred people.

On the map, the enemy's attack direction was pointing towards Nanjing from all directions, and a small hill appeared between the eyebrows of the two brigade-level officers.

Staring at the three city gates on the map, Brigadier Zhu said solemnly: "Yesterday, the Japanese broke through strategic points such as Tangjiaying and Shazhou, and began to test the three complex positions of Shuixi Gate, Zhonghua Gate, and Guanghua Gate.

Attack! The defense situation in the entire city of Nanjing is getting more and more serious!"

Nodding heavily, the deputy brigade commander said: "I heard that Matsui Iwane has issued an ultimatum to Commander Tang. Yesterday we picked up a bunch of Japanese soldiers on our position to persuade them to surrender. Brigadier, should we consider retreating?"

Shaking his head, Brigadier Zhu shouted in a deep voice: "No! We absolutely cannot withdraw without an order from the military commander. We must fight the little Japanese to the bitter end!"

Pointing to several locations on the offensive and defensive map with a pencil, the deputy brigade commander said: "Brigade! Haven't you understood yet? The outer positions of Shuiximen and Guanghuamen have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. It must be that soon, Yuhuatai

The position must be attacked from three sides by the Japanese. The entire 262nd Brigade will be wiped out by then."

With a solemn face, Brigadier Zhu said: "It's not that I don't know this, but once our troops give up Yuhuatai to the Japanese, the door of the Chinese Gate will be wide open and there will be no danger to defend it. Just yesterday, the Japanese made a tentative attack on the Chinese Gate. Fortunately,

The artillery fire suppressed by my Yuhuatai position made the little Japanese suffer a big loss and went back in despair! Absolutely not, without the order of Military Seat Sun! I will never take a step back."

With a hint of determination in his eyes, the deputy brigade commander said: "In that case, I will fight with Brigadier until the last moment!"

Looking at each other with the deputy brigade commander, brigade commander Zhu asked: "Now that Lao Wu's 524th regiment has been reimbursed, has Liang Shanhao's first reserve regiment arrived at the designated position according to the plan to shrink the defense line?"

The deputy brigade commander said: "I just called and prepared more than 300 people from the first regiment to arrive at Highland 82 before 2 o'clock. Liang Shanhao has ordered the entire regiment to repair the fortifications overnight!"

With a satisfied look on his face, Brigadier Zhu said: "This guy Liang Shanhao is really a good fighter! I like it! If my 262nd Brigade had several infantry regiment commanders like Liang Shanhao, the Japanese would probably

I suffered a lot!"

Nodding, the deputy brigade commander agreed: "Liang Shanhao is a rare general! Hand over 82 Highlands to the First Reserve Regiment. Not only can we rest easy on the defensive strength of the Yuhuatai position, but the Japanese will also have to work hard like gnawing hard bones."

Brigadier Zhu sighed: "Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. After this battle, if I am promoted to division commander, I will definitely promote this guy to be the brigade commander, and I can't let other brother troops take him away!"

The deputy brigade commander laughed: "What the brigade commander said is absolutely true. Such a general will definitely do something great. We, as Liang Shanhao's masters, are really gratified!"

Lifting his wrist and looking at his watch, Brigadier Zhu said: "I'm going to take a nap for a while. It's time for the little Japs to attack again at dawn!"

The deputy brigade commander said: "Okay, you haven't slept for 48 consecutive hours, so have a good rest. I'm keeping an eye on the position outside! Now I'm going to inspect the position!"

Brigadier Zhu said: "Deputy Brigade, thank you for your hard work!"

The deputy brigade commander smiled and said: "Revolutionary soldiers don't complain, please take a good rest."

The semi-underground command post on the reverse slope of Highland 82.

The battle lasted for a full 18 hours, and at this moment Liang Shanhao was smoking the Pengyi brand cigarettes seized from the little devil.

Cigarettes are a man's second companion. After a hard day's work, lighting up a cigarette can definitely refresh you.

After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Liang Shanhao began to consider the defense strategy for Highland 82.

The defensive posture of Yuhuatai is now in an endgame.

The total strength of the two infantry brigades is less than 2,000 people. It may be too much to face a Sixth Division with tens of thousands of people!

As soon as day breaks, the Sixth Division will launch the final general attack towards the Yuhuatai position.

A series of problems such as insufficient troops, insufficient support, tight time, and intensive Japanese attacks shrouded the 262nd Brigade and the 264th Brigade, which also gave Liang Shanhao a sense of crisis.

Anti-slope fortifications have been built on the high ground preparing the first regiment, and side firepower points have been arranged. Logically speaking, they can still withstand the attack of Japanese infantry.

But if the little Japanese goes crazy and uses planes to bomb Highland 82, then the defense of the first group will be in danger.

Tomorrow the Japs will most likely use heavy artillery, aircraft, tanks and infantry to swarm towards Highland 82.

With just the few troops Liang Shanhao has in hand, I'm afraid it will be too much for him!

Just as he was hesitating, the system rang in Liang Shanhao's ears!

[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully cracking the Japs’ gas war. The system rewards the host with 146 God of War points and 15,230 flesh coins.]

[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully retaking Highland 82. The system rewards the host with 134 God of War points and 14,930 flesh coins.]

[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for killing 365 Japs. The system rewards the host with 26 points and 4035 flesh coins.]

[Ding dong! As of now, the balance of God of War points in the account under the host’s name is 333 points, and the balance of flesh and blood coins is 34,890.]

[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for getting two lottery chances. 】

[Ding dong! The system rewards the host with 2 m1938 120mm heavy mortars and 12 nine-tube anti-aircraft rocket launchers.]

His eyes suddenly lit up, and Liang Shanhao discovered that the system had rewarded a new weapon.

Among them, the 120mm mortar is simply the nemesis of infantry. Its power is equivalent to that of a light howitzer, but its range is slightly shorter. However, using such an abnormally large caliber to deal with infantry's close attacks is absolutely effective.

According to Liang Shanhao’s research on Soviet weapons in World War II before traveling, the advantages of the m1938 120mm heavy mortar are obvious. Its total weight is lighter than the 122mm howitzer, but its power is definitely comparable to this howitzer.

In addition, the rate of fire of this heavy mortar is quite acceptable, and coupled with its curved trajectory, it is even more effective at dealing with bunker targets.

Another new weapon is the nine-tube anti-aircraft rocket launcher, which is a famous jab multiple rocket launcher in the history of the German army. It is mainly used to deal with low-flying fighter jets.

However, this weapon has a shortcoming. The hit rate depends entirely on faith, which is somewhat similar to the operation of the grenade of the little devil.

This will test the soldier's understanding. Whether he can hit the target depends entirely on the soldier's intuition.

Heavy mortars deal with Japanese infantry, and nine-tube anti-aircraft rocket launchers deal with Japanese aircraft!

These two operations work perfectly.

However, the system dad deliberately played a trick.

Two heavy mortars are equipped with only four shells, which is simply not enough!

And the nine-tube anti-aircraft rocket launcher only has one round of ammunition, which is not enough!

After clicking the repayment button, Liang Shanhao wanted to see how many flesh coins were left in his account.

[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully repaying the principal and interest of the system loan of 30,000 flesh coins.]

[Ding dong! The system rewards the host God of War with 30 points.]

[Ding dong! As of now, the balance of God of War points in the account under the host’s name is 363 points, and the balance of flesh and blood coins is 4890. 】

At present, there are almost 5,000 flesh coins left in the account balance. You have to spend some time to spend it. It’s time to replenish the ammunition for the first group!

With a quick turn of his eyes, Liang Shanhao decided to draw a prize first! Try his luck and see if he could draw a mortar shell, and finally draw some flesh and blood coins!

Since Liang Shanhao completed two important tasks in a row, System Dad also rewarded him based on his merits.

In one of the missions, Liang Shanhao lured the enemy deep and defeated a brigade of Nagasawa Ichiro.

The other time was to recapture Highland 82 and consolidate the defense of the core position of Yuhuatai.

As the saying goes, no pain, no gain.

Regarding Liang Shanhao's military exploits, System Dad is quite reasonable.

Liang Shanhao has two rounds of free lottery opportunities this time.

In Liang Shanhao's world view, the lottery must have a sense of ritual.

As usual, Liang Shanhao first prayed in the direction of Greater Guangdong.

Master, protect your number!

Master, protect your number!

Master, protect your number!

After reciting the prayer silently three times in a row, Liang Shanhao started the lottery eagerly.
Chapter completed!
