Chapter 30: The Battle of the Defending the City IV

"What do the defenders of Kyohyeonsan say? How's it going? ”

Lao Shen was a little excited when he saw the correspondent, because he had already exchanged fire with the devil on Jingxian Mountain just now.

"Report to the battalion commander, when I arrived at the mountain just now, the garrison camp had already been fired, and the devils of the Dantu had also begun to attack Yushan, and when I came back, the battalion commander Han said that he would ask us for help when he couldn't support it."

"Okay, you go and rest."

After hearing the news, Lao Shen leaned on the chair and looked at the map and thought for a while.

"It seems that it is the 13th Division, and only the 13th Division can free up troops, but I don't know how many people there are in the little ghosts, and I am afraid that more than one wing will not be able to hold Jinghyeon Mountain for long."

As soon as Lao Shen's voice fell, a fierce cannon sound came out from the direction of the north gate.

"North Gate? Get out there and have a look. ”

Hearing the sound of cannons at the north gate, Zhang Ziwen and Lao Shen hurriedly ran out of the city tower.

The two of them are now on the city wall, and they saw that there was a fire in the north city, and the sound of walking water had been heard in the city, and then their own batteries returned fire.

"The devil is bypassing Yushan and storming the north gate."

Lao Shen saw the situation at the north gate and spoke.

"I'm afraid that the devil is not comfortable, so close to Jiaotai and Yutai can be done, they can bear it now."

There were not only long-range artillery in the fort, but also field artillery and mortars, and Chiang Kai-shek took Zhenjiang, the last barrier on the Yangtze River in Nanjing, very seriously.

"Now the devil is attacking the north gate, Yushan ......"

Before we finished speaking, there was another fierce shelling at the south gate, and we hurriedly looked back, and the south gate was blazing, and the shells were round after round.

"Is this a mortar? Is this playing so rhythmically? ”

Lao Shen stopped and listened to the sound of the cannon, Zhang Ziwen was half a soldier and could only watch and be anxious.

"Well, there is a full artillery regiment, not only large-caliber mortars, but also Type 92 infantry guns, and the south gate is afraid that it will be blown up."

Listening to Lao Shen's words, Zhang Ziwen could only watch, looking at the position of the south gate and the position of the devil, and a shining fire burst out. If the devil enters Zhenjiang from the east gate, it will be a disaster, and now the east gate is only blocked by Jingxian Mountain, if the Japanese army suddenly enters the city from the east gate, it will be like the entire Zhenjiang heart was stabbed.

As soon as the cannon sound at the south gate stopped, he heard the machine gun at the south gate, and Lao Shen hurriedly took the binoculars to look.

"There are still brothers on the city wall, and the city wall has only collapsed for more than a dozen meters."

Lao Shen could see the sparks from the gun's exit through the binoculars, and he could also tell where the city wall was and whether it had collapsed.

Zhang Ziwen was not in the mood to look at the south gate, and when the searchlight swept across the moat, Zhang Ziwen saw that a devil had touched the river.

"Hit, the devil is in the river."

Hearing Zhang Ziwen's voice, the brothers with searchlights on the city tower hurriedly swept into the river, but before they could sweep it, they fell to the city wall with a muffled grunt.

"Tutu~"

The machine gun rang out on the opposite side, and the brothers came over anyway, Zhang Ziwen didn't look at the result when he shot into the river, he just reminded the brothers of this shot.

Zhang Ziwen pulled Lao Shen down and looked out through the lookout, it was too dark, and he couldn't see the river and the other side at all, and could only see the guard platoon under the city wall.

"Lao Shen can't do it, it's too dark, we can only see people through their shooting, and there are lights on our city wall, which are completely live targets for devils." For a while, in the direction of the east gate, there was a lot of gunfire, but Zhang Ziwen looked at it just now, and he couldn't see the devil at all, it was a complete waste of ammunition.

"Is there anything you can do?"

Lao Shen: This is nonsense. Zhang Ziwen has to have a way to tell him.

"Why should I find a way to ask you again? Now let the brothers get their hands on the searchlight, or we will be blind. ”

"Oh, you take a couple of people and turn on the searchlights."

Shen Qiyu pulled a row of brothers and said, Ma's, it's better to rely on yourself.

Before the brothers in the first row moved, the searchlights were directly shattered, and the fourth battalion was suppressed by the devil's firepower and couldn't raise its head.

Suddenly, the river on the left side of the castle tower was in flames, and the brothers of the third platoon and the sixth company of the security regiment began to suppress the Japanese army, Zhang Ziwen ventured to stand up and watch, and the brothers of the third platoon set the oil tank on fire and threw it to the other side of the moat.

Zhang Ziwen immediately turned around and ran into the city tower, where there were dozens of cans of oil, and most of the oil he got was in it.

"Xiaowen, what are you running?"

Lao Shen followed Zhang Ziwen into the city tower, Zhang Ziwen was in a hurry to get the oil tank out, where would he notice Shen Qiyu.

"Did you just see the third row throwing oil cans over there? Throw the oil can down and you'll see the hell. ”

Zhang Ziwen ran to the right side of the enemy tower with the oil canister, because there was a guard platoon under the city gate, and if it was not thrown out, it would be the guard platoon brothers who would suffer.

Ma Xiaobao saw Zhang Ziwen running over with an oil can, and immediately ran over.

"Brother Wen, what are you doing holding the oil can?"

Zhang Ziwen didn't explain to him, took a torch on the city wall and knocked open the oilskin paper seal of the jar, lit it directly, and then threw it out vigorously.

"Go and get all the cans of oil out and throw them out as I do, and send someone to tell the other brothers."

The bullet hit the wall next to Zhang Ziwen, Zhang Ziwen hurriedly came down, but he couldn't be shot to death by the little devil.

For a time, except for the city gate, a fire was lit outside the east gate and the city wall, and by the light of the fire, the guard platoon and the brothers in the first row could see the situation on the other side. At this time, the brothers of the fourth battalion found out that there were only about two squadrons on the opposite bank, and it was estimated that one squadron would suffer a lot of losses when they forcibly landed. Zhang Ziwen judged by the number of grenadiers, there were seven grenadiers, fortunately, the city wall was high, and several shots hit the wall, only one shot hit the city wall section of the sixth company, and two shots went directly to the city.

Zhang Ziwen set up a gun and searched for the devil's grenadier through the scope, and it was not until the second round of shells came that Zhang Ziwen found the position of the devil's grenadier. As soon as the trigger was pulled, a devil who was just about to reload was put down, and the devils around him were frightened, but I didn't expect anyone to pay attention to them. Taking advantage of the devil's hesitation, Zhang Ziwen put down another one, and now all the devils fell to the ground and shot again, but unfortunately only hit one devil in the leg.

After the brothers looked at the firelight, they began to gradually suppress the Japanese army by virtue of their numerical superiority, mainly because most of the soldiers of the Ninth Company were veterans, not like in the Phoenix Mountain position, only half of the ten bullets hit the enemy, and the firepower of a battalion also had seven or eight machine guns, and only the most humble of the Ninth Company was only the one with a machine gun.

Zhang Ziwen continued to suppress the grenadiers, because there were many more people who were scared to death by little devils on the battlefield than by guns, and the main fundamental reason was that the 103rd Division did not have enough bullets and the awareness of air defense and anti-artillery was too poor.

Suddenly, a man with a command knife entered the field of view of Zhang Ziwen's scope, and just as he was about to shoot, a devil directly threw the commander to the ground, and Zhang Ziwen asked him to see the king of Yama if he slowed down, no, the devil was going to see his emperor.

The devil picked up the soldier who pounced on him, crawled again, and slapped the soldier in the face, before his slap fell, Zhang Ziwen's 7.92 caliber bullet had been discharged, how fast the bullet was, 98K muzzle velocity of 755 meters per second, his slap had not yet been hit, Zhang Ziwen's bullet had already entered his heart.

The bullet took him directly to the Japanese soldier, the soldier was not lying down, and whined, Zhang Ziwen then shot over, which could have been hit, but Jiang Feng suddenly got up, didn't grasp the amount of correction, and only hit the devil's arm.

The capacity of 98k bullets is only five rounds, Zhang Ziwen's five bullets have all been discharged, and he can only stop loading, Zhang Ziwen loaded the bullets and prepared to continue to fight the devil's grenadiers, but the gunfire stopped, and he didn't pay attention to the time on the battlefield, and when he calmed down, he found that the entire Zhenjiang had been quiet.

Zhang Ziwen leaned against the wall, sat down and opened a cigarette from his pocket, and the old knife that the old pole bought for him had not smoked a few yet.
