After a combat meeting, the independent brigade and the teaching corps clarified the defense zone. The next defense was focused on the teaching corps. After all, the number of people in the teaching corps far exceeded that of the independent brigade.
"Weiguo, when did you get so many general-purpose machine guns made in Germany?" Gui Yongqing asked in surprise, "I'm not worried about running out of bullets."
"Haha," Zhou Weiguo had to say, "It's just because it's the same as the official bullet in China. Teacher, I won't take away the machine gun on the position. I will continue to use it when the time comes. Think about it, tomorrow's battle will be
It’s extremely hard.”
"Hey." Gui Yongqing nodded and then said nothing.
Time soon arrived at night, and Xiao Ya once again brought food to the front line. For Xiao Ya, Zhou Weiguo was the most important person in her heart at the moment.
"Didn't I tell you not to come again?" Zhou Weiguo hugged Xiao Ya and said.
"But isn't there no fighting today?" Xiao Ya asked back.
"Okay, everything you said is right." Zhou Weiguo pinched Xiao Ya's nose and then introduced Xiao Ya to Gui Yongqing and others.
"Hello, sir!" Xiao Ya said.
"Haha, we have always heard that your kid has a fiancée who is as beautiful as a fairy." Gui Yongqing teased, "But Xiao Ya, when the war starts tomorrow, don't run to the battlefield. It's too dangerous.
.”
"Yes." Xiao Ya nodded. Gui Yongqing would not say this, but Zhou Weiguo would definitely say it as well.
Immediately, Gui Yongqing and others said, "Let's go inspect the position and you can chat." They made room for Zhou Weiguo and Xiao Ya.
…
"Xiao Ya, you must not come to the position after tomorrow. Japan is about to launch a general offensive. I will be worried if you come to the position." Zhou Weiguo looked into Xiao Ya's eyes and said seriously.
"But I will also be worried if Ah Tu is on the front line." Xiao Ya said aggrievedly, "But I also know that I can't help you when I come to the front line. I will only drag you down."
Zhou Weiguo held Xiao Ya in his arms and said, "What are you talking about? You know? You are my armor." For Zhou Weiguo, Xiao Ya was his armor after he was reborn into this world.
It is also a weakness.
…
December 10, 1937 12 o'clock
Zhou Weiguo looked at the dozens of Japanese tanks outside the Guanghua Gate, and the Japanese soldiers following the tanks. He took a deep breath, and the final battle was coming. After today, half of the people on the battlefield would be alive.
After 12 noon, the Japanese attack began.
The sound of buzzing airplanes came from the sky, and artillery shells roared from outside the city.
"Hidden!" Many people exclaimed.
A section of the city wall of Guanghuamen was blown down, but cannonballs continued to fall on the wall.
The sound of explosions rang in his ears, and a cannonball fell not far away from Zhou Weiguo. The heat wave of the explosion made Zhou Weiguo unable to open his eyes.
Ten minutes later, the Japanese shelling stopped.
Then, the Japanese tanks moved.
Ordinary guns cannot cause damage to tanks, and they also cannot cause damage to Japanese vehicles following tanks. However, the casualties of the national army are gradually increasing.
"Prince, we can't break the Japanese bastard's shell!" Xu Hu said while hiding.
Zhou Weiguo raised his head and took a look. Speaking of which, the tanks currently used by the Japanese army are all Type 95 light tanks. The armor is actually not thick. Unfortunately, Zhou Weiguo does not have anti-tank weapons. The Japanese army's firepower is very fierce. After a while, he basically did not receive any
How many war points.
Soon, the tanks had no choice but to reach under the moat and turned into fixed forts. Even so, these dozens of Japanese tanks still had a lot of impact on Zhou Weiguo and the others. Under such great suppression of vitality, the national army seemed
Very powerless.
"Brigade, we have absolutely no way to fight back!" Xu Hu shouted. On the battlefield, if his voice was too low, there was no way for others to hear him clearly.
"It doesn't matter, wait a minute, wait for the little devils to rush up again, and then the Japanese planes, artillery shells, and tanks will be useless." Zhou Weiguo licked his lips and said, "Huzi, tell the brothers, do your best.
Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
"yes!"
Zhou Weiguo leaned against the city wall, looking at the Japanese planes in the sky. The sound of artillery shells in his ears made his blood boil. As a descendant, he participated in major historical events, and his mood was more or less surging. He wanted to make a big difference.
The urge to show off one's skills cannot be restrained at all.
Zhou Weiguo knew that he was actually very good in this state.
Soon, a small number of Japanese troops rushed to the city wall, but were quickly beaten down again.
Zhou Weiguo kept firing. At this time, the Japanese army, overwhelmed by the dawn of victory, rushed towards the collapsed city wall, trying to rush to the national army position.
"Huzi, let the machine guns hit you hard! This is harvesting!" Zhou Weiguo shouted ferociously.
"yes!"
…
After repelling another wave of Japanese charges, it was already dark and Zhou Weiguo was a little tired.
Looking around, most of the soldiers were exhausted, and almost all of them were injured. The casualties among the new recruits were also huge.
However, the Japanese army continued to prepare for attacks.
"Huzi, how are the casualties?" Zhou Weiguo frowned and asked.
"There are still 2,000 people in the brigade who can fight." Xu Hu's eyes turned red and he said. Originally, the independent brigade had about 4,000 people after recruiting new soldiers, but now, in just one afternoon, it has been reduced by half.
Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath. As an excellent commander, he knew that in this case, retreating and recuperating was the best decision. However, in this battle, there was no way to retreat or recuperate. Behind them were countless people.
One hundred thousand people in Nanjing are the hope of 40 million compatriots across the country.
"Brigade, some people in the city have sent some supplies. Do you think so?" At this time, combat staff officer Li Weimin came over and said.
Zhou Weiguo looked at Li Weimin. Li Weimin, who usually looked a bit weak, had his face covered with dust and a little blood. Then Zhou Weiguo replied, "Go, arrange for a platoon of soldiers to go, and then pay for it and let the fellow villagers do it."
Bring some hot food, preferably hot soup."
"yes!"
Zhou Weiguo looked at the position guarded by the Teaching Corps. The casualties were much smaller than those of the Independent Brigade. Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. If there really was only the Independent Brigade, it would be too difficult to defend Guanghua Gate.
Zhou Weiguo immediately walked to the teaching corps, preparing to discuss a strategy with Gui Yongqing. It was not a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but a strategy to persist longer and reduce casualties.
"Teacher!" Zhou Weiguo lay next to Gui Yongqing and said.
"Weiguo? Why are you here?" Gui Yongqing asked.
"Teacher, if we keep fighting like this, the Japanese army will be able to break through our position tomorrow." Zhou Weiguo said, "Now that the Japanese offensive is suspended, I have asked people to prepare hot food. The weather is cold, and the soldiers have been on the position all afternoon.
, If you don’t eat and don’t take hot food, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to fire a gun.”
"Indeed." Gui Yongqing said, "Do you have any other ideas?"
"I thought we had to deal with the Japanese tanks, otherwise we would be too passive," Zhou Weiguo said.
"Of course, but we don't have anti-tank weapons. Do you have any ideas?" Gui Yongqing said.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "No."
"The only plan for now is to send soldiers carrying explosive packs to blow up the Japanese tanks," Gui Yongqing said.
"No, this is simply a waste of sacrifice." Zhou Weiguo denied, "The soldiers will die before they reach the tank."
Gui Yongqing sighed and said, "Defending the country is difficult, and sacrifice is necessary."
"No, I don't agree with this kind of suicide." Zhou Weiguo said firmly, "Teacher, I will think about this again. I will find a way."
"That's all, it's up to you." Gui Yongqing was helpless.
…
Until Zhou Weiguo and others finished their meal, the Japanese army did not launch the next wave of attacks.
"Seat in the hotel, what's the kid's idea?" Xu Hu asked, sitting next to Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo did not answer. He was looking at the system. He had to find a way to deal with the Japanese tanks, otherwise, someone would die in vain. In Zhou Weiguo's view, all lives are equal.
"Hotel seat?" Xu Hu asked again.
"Ah?" Zhou Weiguo reacted and said, "Huzi, what's going on?"
"Oh, I'm talking about what the little devil has in mind." Xu Hu said.
"I guess I'm recharging my energy." Zhou Weiguo said casually, still immersed in the system, "All kinds of mountain cannons are fine, but which one do you want?"
Zhou Weiguo frowned. Nowadays, he is not afraid of exposing the system or anything. After all, no one will believe him. At most, they will think that he has a secret way to obtain weapons. But after a whole day, his war points are only more than 1,000, and there are still
Need to keep some as spare.
"It's up to you. 35/36-year-old 37mm anti-tank gun." Zhou Weiguo nodded and looked at the price. Because it is a 35/36-year-old gun, it has 5 war points, and the corresponding shells are worth 10 points each.
It is very cheap. The 37mm Pak35/36 light anti-tank gun is a very famous weapon. You can often see them in some photos of the German army in World War II. It was the standard anti-tank gun of the German army in the early days of World War II.
Although it is outdated, the German army produced more than 20,000 of this gun. In September 1939, the German army was equipped with 11,200 of this gun. It is a light artillery with a total combat weight of only 432kg.
, the artillery runs on two large wheels equipped with pneumatic tires. It is effortless to rely on the manpower of the gunner squad to operate the artillery. It can fire armor-piercing projectiles and super-caliber grenades. When firing super-caliber grenades, it is powerful enough to penetrate 12.7
mm thick armor plate. This gun-launched grenade is launched using blank shells. After a distance of more than 183m, its accuracy will definitely not be too high, because the barrel does not actually give it the correct flight direction. This gun launches
Another major disadvantage of grenades is that the gunner can only reload by going around the muzzle. This not only requires the gunner to have extraordinary bravery, but also under intensive enemy fire, the chance of a second shot is almost slim.
.However, for Zhou Weiguo, in exchange for these anti-tank guns, he only fired one round, which was enough to penetrate the Japanese tanks. Then, Zhou Weiguo exchanged 20 anti-tank guns and corresponding shells.
