Before leaving, Bai Fei divided half of the anti-aircraft weapons to Wang Weiguo, and transferred 100 soldiers from the 2nd battalion to Wu Dazhong's artillery battalion, and replaced 100 skilled artillerymen.

On the way to the south of the city, Bai Fei found a warehouse where no one was, and he didn't care about the merit value, so he went in and exchanged 20 12-barreled 107 rocket launchers with the system, and then asked the dumb man and others to equip the troops, and then continued to go to Zhonghua Gate.

When they arrived at Zhonghua Gate, they saw that Sun Yuanliang was preparing his army, and about 2,000 people had already lined up.

Seeing Bai Fei, Sun Yuanliang hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Ouch, my lord, you are here." If you don't come again, I'm going to take the last thousand men of my 88th Division to the rescue by myself..."

Seeing Sun Yuanliang's desperate posture, Bai Fei was quite surprised. There was no time to say anything else, so he climbed the tower and observed the enemy situation with a telescope, and saw that the artillery fire of the Yuhuatai position a few kilometers away was filled with gunsmoke, and countless Japanese troops were constantly attacking the mountains under the cover of tanks and artillery.

Sun Yuanliang said: "Brother, I can rely on you now." I have already discussed with the 51st Division defending Chrysanthemum Terrace on the left, just waiting for you to provide fire assistance, we will attack on both sides, and when the Japanese troops have retreated, we will withdraw first. ”

"No way!" Bai Fei immediately refused: "The main position of Yuhuatai must not be lost, otherwise the Japanese army will be condescending, and there will be a burst of artillery bombardment, and the fall of Zhonghua Gate will only be in an instant." ”

Sun Yuanliang was anxious: "Then what should I do?" Now Yuhuatai has made the Japanese bombing undeniable. I have two brigades up, and even one brigade of the 87th Division has been thrown in, and if I don't rescue them, I will really become the commander of the light pole. ”

Bai Fei thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will lead people from Yuhuatai from the north in a while, you take your people around to the right side of Yuhuatai, and break south from the east of Yuhuatai, and at the same time contact the 51st Division, retreat from Chrysanthemum Terrace, retreat to the north of Yuhua South Road along the direction of Andemen, and resist the Japanese army with Yuhua South Road as the boundary, what do you think?" ”

Sun Yuanliang said: "I'm in a mess in my heart now, where do I have other ideas, everything will be done as you say, I'll contact the 51st Division now." With that, he hurried down the city wall.

After a while, after receiving a positive reply from the 51st Division, everyone was all ready, Bai Fei gave an order, the gate of Zhonghua Gate was opened, and everyone immediately quickly went out of the city gate.

After crossing the moat, the figure of the Japanese soldiers could already be vaguely seen in front, Bai Fei ordered Xu Changsheng's 3rd battalion to open the way in front, Xu Changsheng didn't say a word, waved his hand, and immediately went with the 3rd battalion.

A moment later, several dense explosions were heard from the front, but it was several Japanese tanks that were blown up by the 3 battalion. Due to the relatively small number of Japanese troops here, there were no tanks, and the firepower was inferior to Xu Changsheng and them, the Japanese troops of about two squadrons were quickly routed and retreated to the area of Nengrenli.

Bai Fei took the opportunity to lead the troops to continue forward, and when he arrived at Pude Village, he arranged the remaining soldiers of the 2nd Battalion and 10 107 rocket launchers here, and was uniformly deployed by Xu Jie, the commander of the 1st Company of the Artillery Battalion.

Bai Fei said: "Xu Jie, you performed well on the Songjiang battlefield, now I will give you 10 guns and enough ammunition, and these brothers of the 2nd battalion will also be left to you, I have only one request, after the battle starts, use shells to clear all the Japanese troops on the west side of Yuhuatai." ”

Xu Jie immediately straightened his waist and said, "Yes!" Guaranteed completion of the task. ”

To climb the Yuhuatai, found that at the foot of the mountain on both sides of the southeast, a team of Japanese troops is like ants, endless, charging towards the mountain non-stop, the Japanese tank muzzle under the mountain is towering, constantly firing artillery at the mountain, although the defensive position is still in the hands of the first, but the situation is already very critical, the defenders desperately resist regardless of life and death, but they are still unable to support, and the situation is precarious.

Bai Fei immediately ordered Xu Changsheng and Li Hu to lead people to reinforcements, relying on the condescending favorable terrain, coupled with RPG, Gatling, Pearl Grenade and other fierce firepower, this was able to withstand the attack of the Japanese army.

At this time, Sun Yuanliang and more than 2,000 people had already connected with the Japanese army on the east side. Bai Fei immediately ordered ten 107 rocket artillery on the mountain to cover the Japanese troops on the east side of Yuhuatai, and the 10 guns fired a salvo, which was 120 shells.

Sun Yuanliang was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered his troops to charge, driving the remnants of the Japanese army to the east bank of the Xiangshui River in one fell swoop, and then turning the muzzle of the gun and beginning to counter-encircle the Japanese army at the foot of Yuhuatai Mountain.

At the same time, Bai Fei's 10 107 deployed on the west side of Yuhuatai, under the command of Xu Jie, also began to frantically carry out artillery bombardment to the south, not only to wipe out the Japanese troops near Nengrenli, but even the artillery units deployed by the Japanese army near Xixin Pavilion also suffered Xu Jie's blows.

The 51st Division, which was stationed near Chrysanthemum Terrace, had already been besieged by the Japanese army on all sides, but at this time, it seized the opportunity and broke through the Japanese blockade line with a lot of energy, withdrew to the north of Yuhua South Road, and joined forces with Xu Jie and others to re-garrison in Nengrenli and other places.

Due to the heavy losses of the attacking troops deployed by the Japanese army on the east and west sides of Yuhuatai, only the south side was left alone, and in a short time, under the attack from both sides up and down the mountain, the attacking troops in the south of the Japanese army had to retreat to the area of Huashenmiao.

Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the Japanese division, and Toshio Tani, commander of the 6th Division, were shocked when they learned that their two divisions were attacking with tens of thousands of people, not only did they fail to take Yuhuatai, but also that the attacking troops had suffered setbacks and suffered considerable losses.

The commander of the division, Shigeji Suematsu, said angrily: "Yaga, what is going on? Didn't it be reported before that the defenders of China could no longer hold out? ”

The soldier who came to report the news said: "It is true, but not long ago, a group of reinforcements came to the Chinese army, they have ultra-high rate of fire machine guns and extremely fast rate of fire, and they have special weapons to deal with combat vehicles, our tanks were destroyed more than 20 units, the attacking soldiers could not charge in front of their machine guns at all, and at the same time, the troops on the east and west sides were also covered by shelling, so..."

Gu Shoufu, the commander of the Sixth Division, chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and the color on his face began to change.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Shigeji Suematsu asked, "Gu Shoujun, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Shoufu said with an ugly face: "Suematsu-kun, I'm afraid that this time I will be in a catastrophe..."

Shigeji Suematsu was surprised: "Why did Gu Shoujun say this? ”

Gu Shoufu sighed and said: "Do you know that I am guilty of a crime because of the disadvantage of the Battle of Songjiang, if it weren't for the fact that the new commander of the Sixth Division, Shiro Inaba, has not yet arrived, maybe I would have been escorted back to Tokyo for trial now..."

At the end of this incident, Shigeharu Matsu knew the inside story, which involved factional conflict, and although he sympathized with Tani Shofu as a scapegoat, it was inconvenient for him to express his opinion, so he did not speak.

Gu Shoufu sighed again: "Originally, I planned to take the opportunity of attacking Nanjing to earn some military merits to make up for my sins, and to redeem my merits, maybe I will be forgiven by Tokyo, and I will apply for retirement after the Nanjing Campaign... But I didn't expect to meet my nemesis here again..."

Shigeharu Suematsu reacted immediately, and said in surprise: "You mean, the squadron defending in front is the '66' regiment?" ”

Gu Shoufu nodded.

Regarding the daimyo of the 66th Regiment, although Shigeharu Suematsu had not fought with it before, the ferocious combat effectiveness of this unit was like thunder, especially the 66th Regiment in Luodian, Songjiang and other places, in the face of tens of thousands of Japanese troops besieged by it was still at ease, and the Japanese soldiers who fought lost their armor and suffered heavy losses. It was precisely because it was not good to fight with them that Gu Shoufu himself was punished.

Shigeharu Suematsu thought that Gu Shoufu might have to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell, and if he made a mistake in this battle, he was likely to follow in his footsteps, so he cheered up and asked: "Gu Shoujun, you have fought with them, you know their way of fighting, what do you think we are going to do now?" ”

Gu Shoufu sighed: "I am very familiar with the weapons equipped by this army. The firepower is so strong that it even surpasses us, and now they have them to help defend the first line of Yuhuatai and occupy the favorable terrain, in this case, we must be prepared to pay a heavy price if we want to force the attack. And even then, it is not always possible to win..."

Shigeji Suematsu felt a chill in his heart and said, "According to what you say, aren't we going to stop here?" How can that work? At that time, Your Excellency the Commander will blame me, won't I..."

He wanted to say, won't I be punished like you when the time comes, although he didn't say it, but Gu Shoufu had already understood what he meant, so he sneered and said: "If you don't believe it, you can attack and try to see if I'm lying..."

Although Shigeharu Suematsu said so, he also understood the truth that there was no void under the fame, of course he didn't want his subordinates to be used as experiments, he thought about it, sighed and said: "It seems that I can only inform His Excellency King Hatohiko of the Asakanomiya about the situation here, and wait for him to make arrangements..."

Gu Shoufu looked down on Shigeharu Suematsu's practice of shirking responsibility, but for now, he could only do so, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, suspend the attack first, and wait for the command order before acting..."
