With the help of the bright light of the flares, Xiang Yihang can clearly see that the black shadows in the night are disappearing in the ruins not far away, that is the figure of the Japanese army who wants to attack them at night, since it was dark, the Japanese army has never stopped such infiltration and attack, although they are constantly repelled by their own side, but these Japanese soldiers are like locusts can not be killed.

"Platoon commander...... A large hole was blown open in the back of the yard, and the Japanese intensified their attack on the big hole, and several Japanese ghosts were guarding there...... Those Japanese were a little overwhelmed. After a while, Ge Lichun hurriedly came to report.

"Lao Ge, you transfer three more people to support them, and you must not lose them later!" Xiang Yihang said without thinking.

"Understood!"

Looking at Ge Lichun's figure disappearing at the door, Xiang Yihang raised his wrist again and looked at the rotating hands on the watch, he always felt that the watch seemed to be broken, otherwise why did those hands rotate so slowly.

"There are still four hours before dawn, and Lao Tzu has to hold on for four hours!" Xiang Yihang muttered a few times in a voice that he could only hear.

Yes, since nightfall, Xiang Yihang has led less than a platoon of soldiers to hold on for more than three hours, looking at the Japanese troops who seem to be endlessly rushing towards him, sometimes even Xiang Yihang feels that he will not be overwhelmed by those never-ending Japanese troops in the next moment.

As soon as it got dark today, the Japanese army launched a crowd tactic, trying to use the absolute superiority of the force to flood the observation posts of the Chinese, not only that, the Japanese army also used infantry artillery and mortars to bombard them, because it was at night, the Japanese mortars and infantry artillery were very flexible and mobile to change places after a few shots, so our army's heavy artillery group also had no way to take them,

As the main force of Gu Shoufu's defense of the city, the mixed 32nd Brigade has suffered more than 2,000 casualties from yesterday daytime, and the mixed 32nd Brigade has been in a state of lack of strength since the tragic battle at Huanghualing, and there is less than one wing of personnel who can still fight.

Kita Tian Nan stood in front of the bed of a building, looking at the dark night in front of him as if he was holding a bloody mouth, his heart was like a knife, from last night to now, he had sent four brigades in a row to launch a full-scale attack on the front, but the hateful defenders on the other side of the river under the cover of heavy artillery on the opposite bank were like monsters to devour those warriors mercilessly.

He turned his head to Gu Shoufu, who was standing behind him, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency, commander, we ...... Let's stop attacking for a while and let the Warriors catch their breath, shall we? ”

"No way!" Gu Shoufu said expressionlessly: "We must continue to attack, we must not let the people of China have a chance to breathe, I want to see how long a few hundred people and traitors can withstand it." ”

Although Gu Shoufu's voice was fierce, it also contained a full of helplessness, the battle was no longer under his control, if he stopped attacking now, it would mean that everything he had done since yesterday was in vain, and he was also betting on how long the heavy artillery regiment of the Chinese people on the other side could hold out.

Since yesterday, the heavy artillery regiment has been bombarding this side for more than ten hours in a row, and Gu Shoufu believes that even if the gunners on the opposite side can take turns to rest, the ammunition consumed in more than ten hours is definitely an astronomical amount, and the opponent's artillery shells should be left with very little ammunition, as long as he holds on until the opponent's artillery shells are exhausted, he can destroy them even if he sends the imperial army that is equal to waste.

It stands to reason that Gu Shoufu's idea is also correct, the national strength of China in this era was weak, but all artillery shells with a caliber of more than 70 mm relied on imports. For example, in the Battle of Shanggao in another time and space, the Kuomintang Government dispatched more than 100,000 troops from four armies, eleven divisions, including the ace 74th Army, to attack two divisions and one brigade of the Japanese army, and the two sides fought fiercely for nearly a month, but the Nationalist Army only fired 450 shells during the operation.

In stark contrast, from yesterday to today, the heavy artillery regiment on the opposite bank has fired at least 5,000 shells, which also makes Gu Shoufu surprised and at the same time firmly believes that the opponent's artillery reserves are definitely running out, as long as the opponent's shells are exhausted, their end will come.

It stands to reason that Gu Shoufu's idea is not unreasonable, but he doesn't know that there is a thing called plug-in in this world, and the weapon shop system that has reached the fourth level only needs one energy point to cash out four base ammunition, it can be said that Su Jin basically doesn't have to worry about the problem of ammunition, the heavy artillery regiment is constantly bombarding the opposite bank in front, and behind is a car of ten-wheeled Dodge trucks to replenish countless ammunition, and the battle went on until more than 5:40 in the morning, Listening to the sound of artillery and the explosion like hell that did not abate in the slightest, Gu Shoufu's face became more and more pale.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Kita Tiannan shouted quietly, now he is a little numb, this night he can only keep driving his men to death. Yes, it is to die, the other side's artillery fire simply does not stop, one shell after another keeps falling on the road of the Japanese attack, the originally prosperous streets have now become a region, there are not a few intact buildings within a radius of dozens of miles, and the rest are all crumbling, Rao is Beitian Nan boasted that he had fought so many battles, but such a ferocious artillery fire had never been seen.

Gu Shoufu ignored him, and asked slowly after a long time, "How many troops do you have left?" ”

Kita Tiannan replied bitterly: "There are still more than 2,000 people who can hold guns. ”

"More than 2,000 people?" Gu Shoufu muttered, and then asked, "The men and horses of the independent garrison wing are useless, right?" ”

"Nope!" Bei Tian Nan shook his head, but then said in horror: "Your Excellency, the Independent Garrison Wing is already our last strength, if even it is gone, then the entire Hangzhou force will be empty." ”

"I ......" Gu Shoufu was just about to speak, when a shrill roar came, and several shells exploded only two hundred meters away from them.

"It's not good, the people of China are already eyeing here, run!" Several guards who had been standing behind immediately did not have time to speak, and pulled the two out of the house.

When they ran more than 100 meters, another huge explosion sounded, and the building they were in just now was in ruins. Then the whole street was turned into a sea of fire. From the direction where they were, a huge red flame mass of gray and black gunsmoke was rising high, forming a wall of fire more than a hundred meters high on the continuous street, no, it should be a mountain of flames. The Flaming Mountains erupted violently, and the falling cannonballs powerfully added new energy to maintain the power of the massive volcano. The surface of the earth began to tremble, and the hot lava swam rapidly across the surface, and any life that did not have time to dodge was immediately pulled into the wild dance field of scarlet by the Grim Reaper.

The huge fireball that burned violently pulled and absorbed the air around them at high speed, and the wind that swept through the surroundings ruffled the hair of Kitada Minami and Tani Toshio, and the sudden artillery bombardment just now swallowed up the street and nearly a brigade of soldiers.

After five or six minutes, he ran all the way to Beitian Nan, who was hundreds of meters away from that street, and looked at the street that was still surrounded by flames, trembling and shouting, "Yaga...... How did the people of China know we were there? ”

"Those people don't know we're there, but they know that street is our forward position."

Gu Shoufu on the side said with infinite remorse, he was too careless. The Chinese people are not immortals, so they naturally don't know that Gu Shoufu and Kita Tian Nan are on this street, but for a whole night, all the attacking forces of the Japanese army started from this street, although the Chinese people in the dark night are not sure whether their judgment is correct, but they don't mind using the strength of an artillery battalion to cover this place with artillery fire, and the consequence is that the strength of a brigade is buried under the ruins forever......

Orange clouds began to appear in the sky, and the dense cannon fire that had been resounding all night became sparse, and Gu Shoufu looked at the street that had become ruins a few miles away, and whispered to himself: "Hangzhou can't hold it!" ”

Yes, Hangzhou really seems to be unable to hold on, just now, the observation post on the riverside reported that the pontoon bridge of the 202nd Army is expected to be completed by noon, which means that in four hours, countless elite Chinese soldiers will continue to kill Hangzhou along this pontoon bridge, and they are facing the exhausted Japanese army with less than a wing.

Now, even the most optimistic people know that the fall of Hangzhou is only a matter of time, and when he thinks of this, Gu Shoufu's heart is like a fire.

"No, you can't just give Hangzhou to the Zhina people!" Gu Shoufu took a deep breath, his eyes slowly turned red, he turned his head to the chief of staff Murata Takashi beside him and said: "Murata Jun, now you immediately gather all the troops, go to the neighborhood to arrest people, catch as many people as you can, press all the people caught to the river, and warn the people of Zhina, if they dare to cross the river, we will kill all those Zhina people, I want to see if they dare to come!" ”

"Nani?"

"What?"

As soon as Tani Shoufu's words fell, Takao Murata and Minami Kitada were immediately stunned, they couldn't believe that such words came from the mouth of a commander. (To be continued.) )
