On December 7, 1937, Commander Matsui Iwane sent a letter from the air to Tang Shengzhi urging him to surrender. Tang Shengzhi ignored it and continued to order all troops to "do their best to hold on to the position with the determination to survive or die, and never abandon an inch of ground lightly." The Japanese army's three-pronged offensive was overwhelming.
, strategic locations outside Nanjing were lost one after another. Soon the Japanese army broke through the first-line defensive positions outside Nanjing.
Gwanghwamun Gate
"Brigade, the little devil's attack is very fierce!" A soldier saw Zhou Weiguo coming and said.
"Hit hard, don't save ammunition!" Zhou Weiguo replied, and fired a shot, knocking down a Japanese soldier.
"yes!"
…
"Weiguo, that's not possible. If we continue to fight like this, our independent brigade will be wiped out!" Fang Shengli found Zhou Weiguo and said anxiously.
"There is no other way. Even if you die, you have to die on the battlefield." Zhou Weiguo replied, "It is not only difficult for us to fight, but also for everyone. Several troops on other positions have been disabled."
…
"Huh, it finally stopped for a while." Huzi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the lightless sky, then looked at Zhou Weiguo, and finally said nothing.
"Hu Zi, take the time to rest." Zhou Weiguo said, "Victory, be optimistic about the position."
"good."
After Zhou Weiguo explained to the two of them, he went under the Guanghuamen city wall, lit a cigarette, and thought.
Today, only the outer positions of Nanjing City, Yuhuatai and Zijinshan, are still holding on, and the Japanese firepower will be even greater in a few days. As a soldier, Zhou Weiguo has never thought about retreating, even if the system's mission is to hold on until
On December 13, he never thought of retreating. However, history is not easy to change. The power of one person seems insignificant in the face of the general trend.
Zhou Weiguo opened the system interface. He now has more than 7,000 war points. Each Japanese soldier provides him with different war points. The higher the military rank, the more points he has.
More than 7,000 war points may seem like a lot, but in fact, for the system, 7,000 is still very few.
Nowadays, a mid-level rifle in the system only costs 2 points, because the mid-level rifle has been invented and exists. And the bullets also have a base of 1 point, 200 rounds of bullets, which can be said to be very cheap and good. But for still
Equipment that has not yet been released, such as the German-made MP38 submachine gun, which was produced by the German Alma Arsenal in 1938, costs 10 points each, and 1 base ammunition requires 5 war points.
As a later generation, Zhou Weiguo is not pedantic. He has even looked at biological and chemical weapons. Such weapons, if used improperly, will harm both the enemy and ourselves.
After thinking about it, Zhou Weiguo exchanged it for 100 MG34 German-made general-purpose machine guns at a price of 3.00 points. The MG34 is a light-heavy dual-purpose machine gun and the world's first general-purpose machine gun.
"There is nothing that cannot be solved with one machine gun. If one is not enough, then use two." Zhou Weiguo looked at the machine gun installed in the wooden box in front of him and said with a smile, "However, we still need to change some ammunition."
After saying that, Zhou Weiguo exchanged all the remaining points for bullets.
The machine gun is a big source of ammunition and can shoot out thousands of rounds of ammunition in one minute. The ammunition with 7000 points is also terrifying.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the wooden boxes piled as high as a mountain in front of him, and smiled helplessly, "You need to pay attention next time, it's too conspicuous." Immediately, Zhou Weiguo called for people to move the equipment. There were 100 machine guns, and the entire Guanghuamen position was covered with them.
It’s stuffed with machine guns!
"Brigade! Did you rob the military supplies department?" Operation Staff Li Weimin said in surprise when he saw so much equipment.
"Yeah, now Lao Zhang from the munitions department wants to drag me out to do some work." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.
"Brigade, with so many machine guns, our pressure will be reduced a lot!" Zhang Xin, another combat staff officer, said, "Brigade is indeed the Chairman's favorite!"
Zhou Weiguo smiled casually, "You two, hurry up and arrange this batch of equipment, and you will give the little devil a hard time tomorrow." Speaking of the Chairman, Zhou Weiguo was helpless. He could guarantee that the Chairman is already in Jiangxi.
That's all, if you can kill as many little devils as you can, it's not a waste of time to come here.
There is no safe place in Nanjing, and it is already early in the morning. Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else is more or less squinting and taking a rest.
However, Zhou Weiguo did not feel sleepy. It was not that he was not sleepy, but that he could not sleep.
In the past, when I was training, I didn't see much real blood. Now that I'm on the battlefield, I'm really not used to it.
"Weiguo!" In a daze, Zhou Weiguo seemed to hear Xiao Ya's voice, and then he smiled helplessly and said, Xiao Ya is in the city now, how could she come to the front line?
"Weiguo!" As the voice got closer, Zhou Weiguo realized that Xiao Ya was really here. Zhou Weiguo immediately got up from the ground and saw Xiao Ya.
In the night without lights, Xiao Ya's eyes, like the bright moon, suddenly reflected on Zhou Weiguo's heart, and Zhou Weiguo's irritable heart calmed down.
"Well, this seems to be spiritual food?" Zhou Weiguo smiled to himself, then hugged Xiao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, why are you here?"
"It's cold now, so I brought you a quilt. You won't be able to sleep well on the battlefield." Xiao Ya let go of Zhou Weiguo, then took the bag on her back and handed it to Zhou Weiguo, "Besides, I'm worried about you."
Zhou Weiguo laughed. The silly girl was really cute, but her heart was as warm as a stove. In this world, Xiao Ya's love gave Zhou Weiguo finally a sense of belonging.
Zhou Weiguo took the quilt and placed it on a simple wooden bed. During the war, having such a bed was already a luxury. What's more, he was the gate tower of Guanghua Gate, and there was no wind. The soldiers outside were
But they all sleep directly on the city wall.
"Xiao Ya, you can rest here with me tonight. Go back at dawn tomorrow." Zhou Weiguo said, pointing to the wooden bed, "You sleep inside against the wall."
Xiao Ya blushed and felt a little flustered, but finally nodded, "Okay."
The two are already an unmarried couple, and Xiao Ya has been waiting for Zhou Weiguo for so many years, and she has long regarded herself as Zhou Weiguo's woman. What's more, this is a special period, and there is not so much emphasis on it.
Xiao Ya took off her shoes and slept on the side against the wall.
Zhou Weiguo immediately fell asleep, hugged Xiao Ya, and said, "Go to sleep."
A night of silence.
At dawn the next day, Zhou Weiguo woke up. He opened the system interface and checked the time. It was not 6 o'clock yet. If it were peacetime, Zhou Weiguo would definitely not wake Xiao Ya up at this time. But this was on the battlefield, and he
There was no way not to wake up Xiao Ya. If we didn't go back early, it would be very dangerous if a Japanese plane came to bomb us.
"Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya." Zhou Weiguo shook Xiao Ya and said.
"Weiguo." Xiao Ya stared blankly, obviously not waking up.
Zhou Weiguo laughed again. It was so cute. For her, he had to work hard. The plot mission has not been completed yet, which means that Xiao Ya's danger has not been eliminated. No matter what, he must protect the city of Nanjing.
…
After sending Xiao Ya away after all the hardships, the Japanese attack soon began.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the Japanese army on the opposite side and said, "Shengli, pass the order and wait until the Japanese come within 100 meters before attacking. Don't move the machine gun yet."
"Okay." Fang Shengli immediately arranged for someone to give the instructions.
…
With Zhou Weiguo's first gunshot, the fierce battle began again.
Obviously, the Japanese did not expect that Zhou Weiguo wanted to get closer and fight.
…
"Baga!" the Japanese commander held a telescope and saw the situation in the front position, and said angrily, "shelling, don't be stingy with ammunition, hit me hard!"
"Hi!"
…
Seeing the Japs retreating, Zhou Weiguo said, "The Japs are about to launch a bombardment. Be careful to hide!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball fell in front of Guanghua Gate.
After a round of artillery fire, due to timely concealment, there were few casualties.
Soon, the Japanese army launched another charge. The number was more than three times that of the last time.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Huzi, let everyone prepare their machine guns and wait until they are 80 meters away to shoot."
"Okay." Immediately, Xu Hu began to give orders to each regiment.
…
When the Japs were 80 meters away from Guanghua Gate, the little Japs' nightmare arrived.
On the city wall of Guanghuamen, countless machine guns were shining with flames, firing bullets at them.
100 machine guns completely slaughtered the little Japanese who charged this time.
…
"Haha, the beating made me feel good." Huzi looked at the scene in front of him and said with a smile, "Traveler, this is enough to make the little devil feel distressed for a while."
"Well, after this time, I guess the little devil commander will have to think about it." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.
"Weiguo, when the defense battle is won, I think you have to invite the chief of the munitions department for a drink?" Fang Shengli said with a smile.
"Ah?" Zhou Weiguo pretended to be surprised and said, "That won't work. I'll be drunk when the time comes!"
…
"Weiguo?" Several soldiers came up to the Guanghuamen position.
"Sir?" Zhou Weiguo was surprised and then saluted, "Hello, sir!"
"Hey, I'm sorry." The man who was called the army commander by Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Where did you get rich?"
Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly and said, "These 100 machine guns have not even been warmed up yet, so they came to ask for help." Then he said, "How can I get rich? Commander, I am very poor. My independent brigade has almost been wiped out."
"In front of me is the commander of the 87th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, Wang Jingjiu. After the Nanjing Defense War, he also commanded many battles against Japan and went to Taiwan after the Liberation War. Moreover, the first division commander of the 87th Division was General Zhang Zhizhong.
He was the director of education when Zhou Weiguo was in the military academy. At that time, Wang Jingjiu was the deputy division commander. Therefore, Zhou Weiguo could not refuse Wang Jingjiu in both public and private matters.
Wang Jingjiu glanced at the position outside the Guanhua Gate, then at the soldiers on the Guanhua Gate, and said, "The national situation is such that we have to trade our lives for the safety of the country."
Zhou Weiguo also fell silent. Yes, the War of Resistance Against Japan was basically a victory won by the Chinese army at the cost of its lives.
"Okay, I can see that the machine guns you have here are all new and there are quite a lot of them." Wang Jingjiu said with a smile, "Nowadays, all the ministries are in difficulty. Weiguo, you are also from the 87th Division, do you think?"
Zhou Weiguo sighed and said, "Weiguo understands. In a moment, Weiguo will send people to send 30 machine guns and corresponding ammunition to the 87th Division."
"That's what I want." Wang Jingjiu said, "I know that your independent brigade, although it is said to be a brigade, is actually only two regiments of people. Nowadays, the people in Nanjing are in high spirits and have signed up to serve as soldiers.
The number of people is also increasing, do you want to send you some more soldiers?"
