The 306th Regiment came with reinforcements, and within an hour, all the Japanese troops that poured into the city were wiped out.
The battle at Zhonghua Gate ended briefly, but bad news came. A city wall between Zhonghua Gate and Shuixi Gate was blown open by the Japanese, and the Japanese attacking the city were using rope ladders to climb up.
After Qiu Weida received the news, he did not bother to join Xia Yuan, and immediately ordered the commander of the third battalion to gather 100 strong soldiers to form a death squad, with a time limit of one hour to raid the Japanese troops attacking the city and defend the city walls that had been blown up by the Japanese troops.
After the order was issued, the commander of the third battalion led the death squad towards Shuiximen.
More than ten minutes after the commander of the third battalion set off, Qiu Weida was worried that the Japanese troops attacking the city would outnumber the suicide squads. If the suicide squads could not complete their mission, the Japanese troops would attack the city through the breached city wall and expand their victory.
Qiu Weida personally led a battalion of troops to reinforce.
After fighting for an hour, the Japanese troops that broke in were completely wiped out. In addition to the dead, 15 Japanese soldiers were also captured.
Total annihilation and capture of prisoners, it seemed that the victory was on the side of the national army. However, after the war, when the casualties were counted, everyone fell silent.
The 306 regiment that came to support lost an entire battalion of troops. Qiu Weida's fellow Nanhu fellow, Hu Hao, the commander of the third battalion who led the death squad, and Liu Wanzi, the deputy of the regiment, all died heroically in this bloody battle.
The sun sets in the west and darkness covers the earth.
However, the entire Zhonghua Gate was as bright as day. The enemy was afraid of being trapped and did not dare to attack. However, they continued to shell and fire flares non-stop. The Chinese army was always on tenterhooks, fearing that after the Japanese bombardment stopped, they would attack Zhonghua Gate. They did not dare to attack.
Fall asleep.
Xia Yuan hid in the hidden soldier cave in the city wall, listening to the rumbling artillery fire from outside, and had no intention of falling asleep.
The Japanese army attacked fiercely, and the distance to Jinling was getting shorter and shorter. Jinling could not hold it, even if he personally led a division to block the Japanese army, he still could not hold it.
This is not a matter of military strength. Even if we give him more troops, the result will be the same.
The first company commander scolded outside: "You stupid little devil, you can't sit still. The artillery fire is endless. Aren't the shells worthless?"
The Japanese shelling has lasted for more than two hours. Although it is not violent, it is like sporadic raindrops falling. The houses near the Zhonghua Gate have been turned into a pile of ruins. The streets are covered with rubble and debris, as well as the impact points of the Japanese bombs.
.
"You have to rest after all. Let's sleep for a while. The Japanese might come over tomorrow."
"I can't sleep. The cannons keep ringing. How can I sleep?"
"Don't you think you can sleep well in the camp?"
The remaining platoon was chatting and talking. They found that someone in the camp had fallen asleep at some point, so they lowered their voices.
After slowly getting used to the sound of gunfire outside, it actually became nothing.
Early in the morning on December 10th, Hisao Tani appeared under the tree at the entrance of the arsenal with his big wolfdog. He put his telescope at ease, rubbed his eyes, and roared at the door. Sato and Shimada ran out in a panic.
Standing in front of Hisao Tani with his legs together.
Hisao Tani's eyes widened angrily and he shouted: "You must take down the Chinese Gate today, otherwise you don't want to come to see me and go have a disembowelment to apologize to the emperor!"
Sato and Shimada were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Hisao Tani continued to observe the Chinese Gate with his telescope, sneered and said a few harsh words from between his teeth: "Tang Shengzhi, Tang Shengzhi, you are a piece of iron."
, I want to make you melt! You are just a stone, and I want to make you shatter into pieces!"
He raised his right hand and waved to the sky. The artillery position not far from the arsenal made a rumbling sound and flashed white light. The shells flew out of the barrel one after another, shooting directly at the Qinhuai River, Zhonghua Gate Castle and nearby streets.
The artillery shells that landed in the Qinhuai River blew up water droplets that were ten feet high. The fish that were killed and knocked unconscious floated to the water like a layer of goose feathers floating on the water. The castles, streets, and alleys were all bombed together.
Flames and ruins abound.
After the bombardment, Hisao Tani raised his right hand and waved, and the tanks on the left side of the artillery position made a rumbling sound. Unlike the infantry behind the tanks, they took off their shirts and braved the cold wind to launch a counterattack towards Jinling.
There was no sound at the China Gate. The enemy tanks were like a parade team, neatly crossing the bridge and approaching the China Gate.
Through the telescope, Hisao Tani watched their tanks arrive at the Zhonghua Gate wall unimpeded. He was a little confused for a moment. There was not a single enemy group on the wall that resisted. It seemed that overnight, all the enemy troops on the wall disappeared.
generally.
"Could it be that the Chinese suffered heavy casualties and withdrew from the battle? That's fine, order the team to open the city gate and attack in!"
However, before his order was issued, a series of explosions suddenly sounded in front of the Zhonghua Gate. The rumbling sound was like thunder on a sunny day. The explosions continued to spread and soon covered the tank group and the Japanese infantry. Tanks were bombed one after another.
Destroyed, a large number of infantrymen died in such an explosion.
At the same time, earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out inside and outside the Zhonghua Gate. Countless Chinese soldiers were everywhere, as if emerging from the ground, rushing towards the enemy group. They shouted loudly: "Kill, charge!"
ah!"
A circle of white bayonets inlays a silver chain of war on the Chinese Gate in flames.
The sudden appearance of the Chinese soldiers shocked Hisao Tani's hat, and he quickly grabbed the hat and said in surprise: "Nani, where did this come from!?"
His hands holding the telescope were shaking, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
At this time, the gunfire suddenly stopped, the sound of artillery was gone, and the sound of the tank's motor stopped turning. What was heard was the sound of fighting. When the bayonets collided, they made the sound of gold and silver, forming a certain kind of sound.
The sound rolled over the Chinese Gate.
The strong smell of blood drifted over with the northwest wind, and the smell was so strong that it was suffocating.
Xia Yuan was among them. He was like a god of murder. After a night of rest, his strength returned to its peak state. He picked up a blood-stained sword from the corpse of a national soldier, bathed in blood, and charged into the enemy group alone.
, his power was terrifying, making the Japanese devils tremble with fear. The sword was like a giant axe, slashing down vertically, and the Japanese devils tried to use rifles to block it.
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! The broadsword was really like a huge axe. The rifle broke with a sound. The momentum of the broadsword did not decrease, and it fell on the Japanese soldier. His stomach was cut open on the spot, and his ribs were also rooted.
The roots were severed and torn, and the scene was bloody and horrific.
Seeing the internal organs leaking out, the smell of blood spread on the spot, and everyone present, whether they were Japanese soldiers or Chinese soldiers, felt inexplicably horrified.
Of course, the ones who were most afraid were the Japanese troops.
A Japanese squadron leader discovered that Xia Yuan had a strong combat ability. He led five or six Japanese squad leaders to surround Xia Yuan.
The only movement is chopping, chopping, chopping.
The Japanese bayonets and infantry were like paper under his power. He even entangled three or four Japanese soldiers and conducted sneak attacks, but he was no match for Xia Yuan.
The sense of danger was constantly warning, and combined with Xia Yuan's terrifying strength, reaction ability, and strong body coordination, with a semi-smooth slash, three heads were thrown high, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Soon, the military uniform on Xia Yuan's body was covered with a layer of thick, sticky, slippery, warm blood that turned cold when blown by the cold wind. The broadsword had been curled and sharpened.
Still undiminished, Xia Yuan's power is too great, and the curled-edged sword can still play a huge role.
The Japanese squadron leader led several squad leaders and cooperated with several Japanese infantrymen. They rushed towards Xia Yuan with their upper body naked and holding Japanese swords.
"How dare you take off all your clothes, do you really think you are invulnerable!?" Xia Yuan sneered, grasped the sword tightly, and leaped high into the air with a single step. He did not hesitate to use his own strength at all. With a physical fitness of 2.20, he was like a
Like a perpetual motion machine, one chops and chops.
A Japanese squad leader was caught off guard and tried to use a Japanese sword to block a big sword.
At this moment, Xia Yuan's broadsword was filled with unparalleled potential energy, and he slashed down vertically. There was only the sound of metal breaking. The broadsword struck directly on his shoulder. The broadsword penetrated three points in a sudden motion, and then his big foot was like lightning.
He reached out and kicked him hard in the stomach, but saw a bloody footprint on the belly. The kicked squad leader vomited blood and held his stomach like a shrimp.
I'm afraid his internal organs were not shattered by Xia Yuan's kick.
There are really not many people in the world who can withstand this kick.
The entire action was completed in one go, and in less than two seconds, a squad leader was easily dispatched, which slowed down the attacking Japanese soldiers.
However, Xia Yuan will not wait for them. If you hesitate, I will attack. Xia Yuan is like a fierce tiger, holding a powerful curling sword, charging into the enemy group. Infantrymen, squad leaders, and squadron leaders will all take their lives.
.
He is really like a battlefield killer, killing all the way through alone, killing the battlefield on the left, and not daring to set foot alone.
If the Japanese didn't come to look for him, he would look for the Japanese. He would stride onto the abandoned tanks of the Japanese, aim at a direction where the fighting was fierce, and rush towards him.
This team is composed of the remaining officers and soldiers of the 88th Division. There are old and young, division commanders, regimental commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders, staff officers, cooks, guards, medical officers, and grooms.
As long as there was still a mouthful, they all rushed out to compete with the Japanese devils.
They were fighting with the Japanese devils. When you fell, I stood on top. At this moment, regardless of official position, status, or age, we shared the same hatred and shared the same hatred for the country.
It was too difficult. The battle started in the morning and continued until the sun set in the afternoon. The two sides went back and forth at the China Gate, fighting repeatedly, and blood flowed like a river.
As long as Japanese troops poured into China Gate, they would be forced out of the city and onto the bridge by this special Chinese army.
On this day, the Japanese army fought seven times, all of which were pushed in, only to be beaten back again, and the battle was repeated. Hisao Tani never dreamed that the Chinese army would be so tenacious. He even suspected that the Japanese army's invasion of Jinling might repeat Napoleon's attack on Moskva
Mistakes lead to a path of no return.
It was 1812. Napoleon's attack on Mosike was met with resistance, and there was heavy fog and extremely cold weather. This arrogant emperor abandoned half a million invincible warriors in the roaring wilderness of Russian wind and snow, with only a few
The follower got on the sleigh and disappeared in the wind and snow in despair.
In the Zhonghua Gate City, there were very few soldiers of the 88th Army defending the city. At this moment, all their hopes fell behind Xia Yuan.
Will the battlefield situation change because of the appearance of one person? Yes, this is true. If you have not seen it with your own eyes, who can use his more than ten years of military career to guarantee that one person can really change a war, and today
Then someone did it.
The Japanese army invaded seven times. Although they tried their best to stop the enemy and fought hard with the Japanese army, the Japanese army invested more and more troops, more and more people fell around them, and fewer and fewer people stood. Everyone knew it.
, they may want to serve the country.
Are you afraid? Not afraid is a lie. No one can remain calm when facing death, but when the country is in ruins, this fear disappears.
They were more afraid that they would die in battle, their country would be lost, and their people would be ruled by Japan. This fear was far greater than the death they feared facing.
Therefore, everyone is fighting desperately against the Japanese devils. Today, they exchange their lives for a few Japanese devils. Tomorrow, there will be fewer Japanese devils to attack China. Everyone is determined to die together with the Japanese devils.
, when another round of crazy Japanese attacks arrived.
They are ready to sacrifice.
But there was a man standing in front of them, who single-handedly killed the attacking Japanese troops. His uniform was covered in thick blood, and his epaulets could not be seen clearly. His hat was missing, and his hair was stuck to his head and his face.
The dark patch was filled with blood and dirt.
Holding a large curled-edged sword, he charged into the enemy group and killed the Japanese without leaving a trace behind.
Shocked everyone.
They reacted and joined the enemy group with him. With him around, more and more Japanese soldiers fell. His fighting ability was so powerful that everyone was afraid of them.
Whether it's the Japanese devils or their own people.
Of the more than 500 Japanese troops who came to attack, more than 100 died in his hands. When he took a step forward, the Japanese took a step back. No one dared to step forward to fight again. Some dissenters wanted to take away his weapons.
His head was chopped off by him with a single blow.
The Japanese have retreated and the Chinese Gate has been defended, but they have an inseparable relationship with the man in front of them.
Later, these people knew his name, Xia Yuan, and one of the regiment leaders said in surprise: "Isn't this the Songhu God of War?"
Everyone was shocked.
The Songhu God of War was famous on the Songhu battlefield, but now he appears in the Zhonghua Gate and is actually hidden so deeply. Could this be Sun Yuanliang's strange move? Xia Yuan's appearance also inspired the entire Zhonghua Gate defenders. Songhu
The news that the God of War was at Zhonghuamen swept across like a storm.
The soldiers who defended the city learned that the Songhu God of War was at the Zhonghua Gate, and with their own efforts, they resisted the Japanese invasion of the Zhonghua Gate seven times and guarded the city gate for a full day.
In short, Xia Yuan's appearance made up for their spiritual vacancy and greatly boosted the morale of the defenders.
Hisao Tani suffered a loss, and his division suffered heavy casualties. After the war, a Japanese news revealed that on this day, Hisao Tani saw his troops falling into a pool of blood one after another, like harvested crops.
For a moment, he doubted his own command ability and the combat effectiveness of his 6th Division.
Therefore, he once wanted to poison his four beloved wolfdogs first, and then commit suicide by caesarean section and end his life.
