Chapter 209: The Battle of Nanjing (Desperate Situation, Accident, Counter-Killing)

The little devils seem to be ruthless in their determination to take the left flank position of Yuhuatai, even if their rear is cut off by the 262nd Brigade and the 264th Brigade.

Because judging from the current situation of the 388th Regiment of the left flank position, before the national troops on the other two positions rushed to support, the little devil could take the left flank position in one go.

The commander of the Devil's Brigade, Yanagawa Heisuke, also thought very clearly that the large army of his division had not yet arrived, so he could first capture the left flank position of Yuhuatai, and then hold on to the position, waiting for the arrival of the large army to encircle the Yuhuatai defenders together.

The situation is very good, and progress is proceeding according to Yanagawa Heisuke's imagination.

"Report! The enemy's sixth small line of defense has been captured by us! ”

"Good! Gather your forces to speed up the attack and give me the last Tenryuji in one go! Yanagawa Heisuke was overjoyed and gave the order.

However, only a few minutes after he gave this order, a violent roar suddenly sounded in front of the battle array, accompanied by a wave of shaking of the mountain.

Yanagawa Heisuke raised his binoculars in shock, and then saw a sky full of grenades, mixed with some mortar shells, thousands of them, flying towards the soldiers on his side, causing a lot of casualties in an instant.

A burst of anger suddenly arose from the bottom of Yanagawa Heisuke's heart, he really didn't expect that the national army guarding the left flank position would be so cunning, and it had only used a lot of artillery fire until now.

However, along the way, Yanagawa Heisuke already had a certain understanding of the artillery fire of the Nanjing defenders, and he believed that the defenders here were no exception, and it was impossible for them to use such a large artillery battle without restrictions.

"Herald! Regardless of the sacrifice, gather all the troops and destroy the Tianlong Temple. ”

"Hey!"

……

A burst of fierce artillery fire suddenly came from the left flank position, attracting the eyes of Zhu Chi, commander of the 262nd Brigade, and Gao Zhichong, commander of the 264th Brigade.

At this moment, the two had gathered together, and together they commanded the army to support the left flank position, in an attempt to annihilate the attacking Japanese army.

Gao Zhichong removed the telescope from his eyes, and in the short moment just now, he had already seen the situation of the various defensive lines that the 388th Regiment was responsible for guarding on the left flank.

"Lao Zhu, this 388 regiment is not a hundred battles, although it has lost two major lines of defense, but it is rare to be able to rely on the strength of a regiment to resist the crazy attack of a brigade of little devils for more than an hour."

"Huh! I don't think so. ”

Zhu Chi completely disagreed with Gao Zhichong's point of view, and said sarcastically: "Although it is a rabble, there are still more than 4,000 people, if all of them are not afraid of death, let alone blocking the little devil brigade for more than a long time, even if it lasts for half a day, I will not be surprised."

"Perhaps...... What is the commander of the 388th regiment planning!

I don't believe that Lao Zhu, you didn't see it, the soldiers of the 388th Regiment always lured the devils to the hinterland of the left flank position, intentionally or unintentionally, although the position was lost a lot, and the losses were very fast, but the casualties were very small. ”

Zhu Chi naturally found this strange, but the preconceived prejudices that existed because of certain things affected his judgment again.

"Hmph, minor casualties? It shows that they are a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death! As for the plan, I'm afraid that the grenade battle just now is already exhausted.

When I was guarding the defense line before, I was greedy for life and afraid of death, but now I am besieged in a corner of Tianlong Temple, and I haven't ended up in a tragedy by the enemy! ”

Gao Zhichong didn't argue for the 388 regiment anymore, although he didn't think that the 388 regiment was as unbearable as Zhu Chi said.

But if this 388 regiment is really like Zhu Chi said, then before he and the others completely rush over to support, they may not be able to defend this Tianlong Temple.

And as soon as the left flank position of Yuhuatai is lost, anyone can see that the situation will become quite bad.

"Lao Zhu, without further ado, let's launch a general attack! Hopefully it's still too late......"

……

Tenryu Temple, almost all of the remaining 3,000 soldiers of the 388th Regiment live here. The hidden munitions and equipment had already set up a battle, aiming at the Japanese troops who were approaching step by step.

Han Xin stood on a high ground and put down the telescope, then jumped down, and Yang Wang on the side asked:

"Commander, are the reinforcements coming?"

"It's coming!"

"Really, that's great."

"But by the time they arrive, I'm afraid we'll all be annihilated by the Japanese army."

"What then?" Yang Wang became anxious.

Han Xin's eyes flickered a few times, and then he said calmly: "It's not a big deal, it's just to let them come just to let them enjoy a big show, and now that the guests are coming, our one-man show should also be played."

Brother Yang, the time has come, inform all the soldiers to prepare for the attack, and wait for the main force of the little devil to appear in the middle line of Tianlong Temple, hide the baggage equipment and fire with all their might! ”

"Yes!"

…… A few miles outside Tenryuji Temple, Yanagawa Heisuke looked at the target from a distance through the telescope, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As soon as Tianlong Temple is concerned, the left flank position of Yuhuatai is completely under the control of the Imperial Japanese Army, and the situation will be very clear at that time, and Yuhuatai can be lowered.

"Brigade commander! Ahead is the defense line of Tianlong Temple, should we open artillery bombardment? ”

"No need, these people are just fighting the trapped beasts, and our artillery fire must be reserved to resist the main force of the follow-up defenders, so we must not waste it here.

Order the whole army, regardless of casualties, to take Tianlong Temple at full speed! ”

"Hey!"

…… In Tianlong Temple, Lu Guangwei, who was in charge of the fire, looked at the approaching devil, and his heart became more and more excited.

He was very grateful to Han Xin for entrusting him with such a heavy responsibility, which was a kind of sublimation and sharpening of his entire mind.

With an order, what kind of arrogance is this, destroying thousands of devils!

"A thousand meters! Eight hundred meters! 600 meters...... Three hundred meters! 200 meters ......"

Rumble!

"Fire!"

Lu Guangwei's raised right hand waved down fiercely, screaming as hard as he could.

Almost at the same time as his voice fell, the soldiers of the 388th Regiment, who were oppressed by the Japanese army, retreated step by step, and the soldiers of the 388th Regiment, who had already held their breath, suddenly went crazy.

The hidden baggage artillery fire that had been prepared for a long time bombarded the place where the little devils were densely populated.

Immediately after that, dozens of light and heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, mortars, grenadiers, Type 92 infantry guns, wild mountain artillery, and hundreds of cannons fired in unison!

In addition, with the single shots of thousands of soldiers, that is, after a few breaths, in front of Tianlong Temple, that is, the little devils were charging intensively and with the help of the hidden dead wood forest, it suddenly became a hell of a sea of fire:

Hundreds of little devils roared, screamed in pain, and twitched in despair in the sea of fire......

At this moment when the artillery fire became the only absolute sound between heaven and earth, the little devil was completely blinded, and he couldn't mention any counterattack at all.

The situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse!
