Yuhuatai is lost.

As soon as he saw this, Zhao Zilong's face suddenly sank.

Because the height of this small hill is higher than the Zhonghua Gate city wall, standing there, you can see the inside and outside of the Zhonghua Gate city wall.

Now that the devils have occupied this hilltop position, they can be condescending and completely suppress the entire section of the city wall with artillery fire, how can the national army defend it?

The national troops present also thought of this problem, so they all looked grim.

"Camp! Yuhuatai is lost, can Zhonghua Gate still be guarded? A veteran soldier asked, grimacing.

"Yes, Camp! We guarded from Shanghai to the outside of Nanjing, and from outside the city to this wall. In the past, it was good to say that there were guns and ammunition, but now there is a shortage of ammunition, so how can we defend it? Another veteran echoed.

Everyone was looking at Wang Zhong.

Zhao Zilong frowned and looked over as well.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Wang Zhongyi gritted his teeth and put down his words.

When everyone heard this, their faces sank again, but no one spoke.

Although the national soldiers put on military uniforms and picked up guns, they put their personal life and death aside, and although they had fought with devils on the battlefield and were accustomed to seeing life and death parting, they now became a little at a loss in the face of this seemingly hopeless persistence.

For a time, the atmosphere on the city walls was somewhat dull and oppressive.

Suddenly, Zhao Zilong's eyes froze, and he saw that in the distance of the avenue leading to Yuhuatai, there was a group of figures running towards the Zhonghua Gate.

Look closely, those are all wearing gray-blue military uniforms.

"Brother Wang! It is a brother of the national army. The position was lost, and they wanted to retreat. Zhao Zilong immediately shouted. Woohoo Woo ......

Da Da Da ......

At this time, the devils who surrounded the outer positions of the city gate also discovered the retreating national army, and opened fire one after another, wanting to intercept it.

Those national soldiers also shot back as they ran, but under the fierce fire of the devils, people kept falling.

"Brothers! Prepare to pick them up and take them into town. Wang Zhong immediately observed with a telescope, and when he saw it clearly, he immediately shouted.

At this time, everyone also saw it, and they all picked up their guns and stood up.

Zhao Zilong held a Zhongzheng rifle and wanted to shoot those devils, but judging that the distance from the devils in the distance was five or six hundred meters away, he had to sigh, but still pointed the muzzle of the gun towards the avenue.

About thirty or forty national soldiers fled from the avenue, and as soon as these people ran under the city gate, they saw that the city gate was blocked and could not enter the city, and for a time they shouted below.

The national army on the city wall was also helpless for a while, helpless.

At this time, those devils gradually chased after them from behind.

In the midst of gunfire, the national army continued to fall.

"There's a gap in the corner of the wall over there, so come in from that side." When Zhao Zilong saw it, he quickly ran over, shouted loudly at the national army below, and pointed to the left side of the city wall where the three battalions of their 262nd Regiment were defending.

When the people below heard this, they immediately ran along the base of the wall.

As soon as Zhao Zilong saw a group of devils approaching three or four hundred meters, he immediately stood under a battlement in the city tower, raised his gun and aimed at a devil machine gunner to shoot.

Shots rang out.

Waiting on the right side of the city wall were the brothers of the first battalion of the 264th Regiment, and under the leadership of Chen Weiguo, they also shot at those devils one after another.

Zhao Zilong finished the bullets on the rifle in one go and shot four devils.

Chen Weiguo and others also shot down more than a dozen devils, so frightened that the other devils couldn't help but stop.

At this time, those devils saw that the national army had run to the gap in the corner of the city wall, and because they had not received the siege order, they stopped the pursuit, and had to take the corpses of those companions back to the position with hatred.

"King's Throne! Yuhuatai was captured by devils, Brigade Commander Zhu and they ......" A platoon commander of the national army who was grazed by a bullet on his forehead choked up and said to Wang Zhong.

At this time, Zhao Zilong walked back, and he knew that these people were all from the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division. Because they were holding a position behind Yuhuatai, they had to withdraw.

However, the number of their original battalion was only one platoon.

"I know. You've worked hard, so let's go and rest first. Wang Zhong nodded with a heavy heart.

"No, we're going to defend the city with you......"

Rumble!

Before the platoon commander's words were finished, a cannon sound came from the Yuhuatai.

When Zhao Zilong heard this, he immediately shouted: "The devil is shooting on the hill, everyone run." ”

Bang!

Before everyone could react, a cannonball landed at the base of the city wall and exploded.

Fortunately, the devil's first shot was a test shot, so it didn't hit the city wall.

Boom......

When everyone ran to the road, there were bursts of cannon fire on the Yuhua platform.

Cannonballs fell from the sky and fell on and inside the city walls, blowing up the bunkers and other fortifications above and inside the walls.

Immediately, on the flat ground on the other side of the residential area, the sound of cannons also sounded.

Now it is Yuhuatai and the devils on both sides of the flat ground are firing cannons at the city wall.

For a while, the sound of cannons and explosions continued to sound, and the city walls trembled incessantly.

At this time, everyone was standing in the hiding cave, listening to the sound of the cannon that was several times more powerful than before, and their hearts were even tighter. -

Zhao Zilong leaned close to the wall of the cave entrance, his eyes closed, and he had been listening to the explosion above and the distant cannon fire.

As soon as he heard the sound of the cannon becoming sparse until it stopped, he immediately shouted: "The devil has stopped firing the cannon." With that, he was the first to rush out.

Wang Zhong also shouted, and ran to the city wall with everyone.

When Zhao Zilong came to the city wall, which had been hit hard by artillery fire, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Because he saw that not only was the gap in the corner of the city wall on the left a few points larger, but the other sections of the city wall were also blown out by artillery fire.

Although the gaps are not so deep, they are also easy for devils to climb.

If the devils charge at the same time in these gaps, I don't know if the national troops of the three battalions can hold it?

"Brothers, get ready for battle." At this time, Wang Zhong's voice came from Zhao Zilong's ears.

Zhao Zilong came back to his senses at this time, and when he looked up, he saw that by the moat, the devils had also assembled.

"Kill it!"

With the order of the third brigade captain Takahashi Tamori, the regrouped devil charge troops once again launched an assault on the Zhonghua Gate city wall.

First of all, the devil machine gunners who occupied the residential area opened fire for cover.

Da Da Da ......

Bullets kept hitting the bricks of the city wall, so that the national army could not look up.

Then the devil sappers ran to the moat to build a bamboo bridge.

Because the national army lacked ammunition, Wang Zhong told everyone not to shoot yet.

Zhao Zilong is not restricted, he can fire infinitely.

It's just that even if he hits a devil sapper with every shot, those devils are not afraid of death, and his personal strength can't shoot many enemies, so he can't stop the devil sappers from building bridges at all.

This time, the devil sappers rebuilt three bamboo bridges on the moat, and those devil infantry quickly passed through and launched an attack on the city wall.

Although the devils attacked the gap in the city wall that was blown out by artillery fire, the focus was on the gap on the left side of the city wall, which was the position where Wang Zhong and others of the third battalion of the 262nd Regiment were waiting.
