Chapter 239: Why did the devil attack so early

Zhao Zilong ran at the rear, and as soon as he heard the explosion on the city wall, he hurriedly pushed Wen Bin into the cave.

As soon as he himself entered the hole, pieces of bricks of various sizes fell from it.

Bang! Bang! ……

Listening to the explosions on the city wall, everyone was strained and their mouths were pursed.

Although they are all accustomed to the rhythm of the devil's attack and the first artillery, the mood of the various national troops is still heavy and slightly nervous.

"Why did the devils attack so early?"

Feeling the continuous vibration on the city wall, Zhao Zilong couldn't help frowning and muttered.

He had a strong ear, so he could hear that the sound of the cannon outside seemed to be a little unusual from his usual ones.

Zhao Zilong felt that today's devil's attack might be more fierce than before. When he thought of this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and he thought of Li Xiaoling.

Because he knows that it is recorded in history that the devils have been attacking Zhonghua Gate since the morning of December 12, 1937, and have never stopped.

At noon, the 262nd Regiment guarding the Zhonghua Gate began to retreat after receiving an order from above. As soon as the defenders retreated, the devils then stormed the city.

What Zhao Zilong thought of was that if the history of the year was repeated today, Li Xiaoling and the others would not have had time to retreat at the ambulance station on the other side of Zhonghua Avenue.

Because at that time, as soon as the devils attacked, plus the retreating national army and the common people who were hiding from the artillery fire, the order in the city was scattered, and the avenues were blocked, where could they, the female students and nurses, run?

The thought flashed, Zhao Zilong's face suddenly changed, and he immediately said to Wang Zhong: "Brother Wang! I'm going out for a trip. ”

When Wang Zhong saw Zhao Zilong rushing out of the Tibetan Soldier Cave, he had to shout urgently: "Brother! Where are you going? Where to? ”

"I'll be back soon." Zhao Zilong didn't bother to explain, but just replied.

By the time the words were heard in the sound of explosions on the city walls, the others had already run away.

-

The temporary ambulance station is located less than two kilometers from Zhonghua Avenue and the Zhonghua Gate City Wall.

When Zhao Zilong ran here, he saw that the people there did not dare to move around casually, and they each hid behind the wall or in other sheltered places to avoid artillery fire.

Although the devil's artillery basically bombarded this side of the city wall, it had little impact on this side of Zhonghua Avenue, but for the sake of safety, these people also hid, for fear of being accidentally injured by those bricks and stones.

Zhao Zilong searched back and forth in those crowds, but did not see Li Xiaoling or Li Xiaoling.

He saw that the dean, Wu Xin, was still busy in the tent, and the fat head nurse was standing behind a corner.

The fat head nurse saw Zhao Zilong and asked in surprise: "Zhao Zilong! What are you doing here? ”

When she saw Zhao Zilong looking around, she immediately came to her senses and asked again, "Are you looking for Xiaoling?" ”

"That's right! Where did she go? Zhao Zilong was stunned, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and immediately replied.

"She and Li Xiaoling just went back to Xinkou Street Hospital to get some medical equipment." The fat head nurse pointed in the direction of Xinkou Street.

"That's ......" Zhao Zilong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He thought that it was five or six kilometers away from Xinkou Street Hospital, and it would take at least two hours for Li Xiaoling to go back and forth.

Two hours later, around seven or eight o'clock in the morning, that hour was the time to fight with the devils.

If Li Xiaoling and the others want to evacuate here first, they must rush before noon. However, when the time comes, he will fight with the devils at Zhonghua Gate, and he will not have time to come to Li Xiaoling.

What to do?

Zhao Zilong frowned, and after thinking about it again, he went directly to Wu Xin's tent.

Seeing that Wu Xin was still helping a leg-wounded national army to stitch up the wound, Zhao Zilong had to wait outside.

When he was waiting anxiously, Wu Xin came out.

"What? You say there is a possibility that the troops will retreat at noon? ”

When he heard Zhao Zilong asking them to evacuate as soon as possible, Wu Xin looked each other up and down in surprise.

But as soon as he thought of the retreat that Zhao Zilong had proposed at the banquet last night, he had to seriously consider it.

Wu Xin looked at Zhao Zilong's very serious appearance again, his eyes flashed a few times, and then he said: "Okay, for everyone's safety, we will go back to Xinkou Street Hospital as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Wu Xin believing in himself, Zhao Zilong's mood relaxed slightly.

He hurriedly said goodbye to the other party and ran back to the Zhonghua Gate.

When Zhao Zilong came to the vicinity of the city wall, he heard the cannon fire on the devil's side and gradually stopped.

As soon as he ran to the road, he saw at a glance that the gap in the corner of the city wall had been blown open again, and the stones and mud bags that had blocked the gap were scattered all over the ground.

"Brother Wang! Hurry up. ”

Seeing that Wang Zhong and the others were still hiding in the cave, Zhao Zilong immediately shouted.

Then, when he ran onto the road, he saw that the city wall, which had been in tatters, was filled with stones and bricks of different sizes, and wisps of smoke were rising from the uneven brick pits.

He hurriedly ran to the side of the enemy building, and saw Zhang Hu and the gunner of the national army who were hiding here, as well as two loaders, who were now covered with those bricks and stones.

Although there is a bunker here, but after all, it is on top of the city tower, and although these four people were not hit by the shells just now, they were also hit by those bricks and stones, and they all cried out in pain.

Zhao Zilong immediately ran over, helped remove the bricks and stones, and pulled them out.

-

The devil's position on the periphery of Zhonghua Gate.

"Captain Doki! This time, you lead a tank squad to attack the gap, and you must capture the walls of the Shina people. ”

Taro Okamoto said as he looked at the tank squad leader.

In order to attack the Zhonghua Gate this time, he used all his connections, and finally transferred six tanks to help.

"Okamoto Daisa!"

The short and sturdy Tangmu Jiuyuan bowed and saluted, and swore that "I will not live up to your expectations, I will serve the emperor and the great empire, and I will definitely drive a tank to attack the wall of Zhonghua Gate." ”

Donmu Jiuyuan did not graduate from a military academy, but with his love and courage for tanks, he soon showed his talent for driving tanks in battle, repeatedly defeated opponents in battles, and stood out among the tank soldiers.

Since he led this tank team to participate in the Battle of Songhu, he has been attacking the city all the way and has never missed.

He also thought that as long as he captured Nanjing this time, he would be able to make great contributions and go home to enjoy the glory.

"Okay, as long as you attack the city wall, I'll give you the first credit." Taro Okamoto was also very happy to see the other party behave like this.

After several failed sieges, Taro Okamoto knew that only tanks could destroy the Zhonghua Gate wall, so he specially told Doki Kumoto.
