Chapter 37 Defending Nanjing Battle IV

"Xiaobao, you and March led people to tear down the uninhabited house, take the pillars and turn the head, and you took the old pole to get sandbags, and then sent them to the city wall"

Zhang Ziwen was just about to go to the Sixth Company, when he saw Fang Hai, the acting company commander of the Sixth Company, Zhang Ziwen asked the Sixth Company and the brothers of the Ninth Company to get materials to repair the collapsed city wall, Fang Hai had some doubts and did not go to the city wall to support but carried sandbags, until Zhang Ziwen told him that he was Lao Shen's order that he agreed.

Nanjing suffered from the devil I don't know how many air raids, there are naturally many collapsed houses, there are many wood and bricks, saving the time to demolish the house, Zhang Ziwen just picked up a pillar and his chest ached, the day before yesterday Zhang Qing changed the dressing for him and said that it was almost good, but now it starts to hurt again.

Resisting the pain, Zhang Ziwen gritted his teeth and went to the city wall, now the city wall is very bad, and he can hear the sound of gunshots, Zhang Ziwen has not yet reached the bottom of the city wall, he listened to the sound of shouting and killing from above, and the gunfire on the wall section of the fourth camp also stopped, threw down the pillar, put a bayonet on the gun and rushed up.

On the city wall, there are no people in the north wall section, and all the people rush to the south to collapse the city wall, and the devil attacked from the gap over there, Zhang Ziwen was just about to rush over when he saw a devil in the north climb up, and the devil also learned to sound the east and west.

Before the devil came to his senses, Zhang Ziwen shot the devil in the chest and fell directly off the wall. Just thinking about raising the gun to hit the devil who was climbing up quickly, a shot hit directly on the wall he was leaning on, and quickly squatted down, just as the old pole and they all came up with guns.

"The devil over there climbed up, try to catch it down, but there is no way."

After the old pole signaled to Zhang Ziwen that he needed cover, he touched it with a few brothers with great strength. The city wall is not a straight line, otherwise Zhang Ziwen would have been beaten into a hornet's nest.

Zhang Ziwen asked the remaining brothers to load their guns, and then waited for the gesture of the old pole, who threw out the hat of a dead brother from the corner, and the devil's gunshot rang out, while the second bullet was not loaded.

"Hit~"

Zhang Ziwen led people to stand up and fire to suppress it to attract the attention of the devil, and then squatted down. Taking advantage of the devil's firepower to be attracted, vigorously and directly put the machine gun on the walkway of the city wall, the devils who climbed the wall were killed at once, and the old pole they came out and killed the remaining two devils, and then the brothers of the Ninth Company stood up to strike at the devils on the ladder, and the devils were forced to leave the ladder and retreat in panic.

The Ninth Company repelled the devils who climbed the wall in the north, but the brothers in the south were driven by the devils to the walkway of the city wall with bayonets, and the walkway was only seven or eight meters, and the brothers behind could not rush up at all, and the numerical advantage could not be brought into play at all.

Zhang Ziwen rushed over when he saw the machine gun in his hand snatched it, and the devil was excellent at white blade, so he didn't give him a chance to play.

"I want to lie down for my life~"

Zhang Ziwen shouted several times in a row, the devil didn't understand, and he was still wondering why the opponent was lying down, Zhang Ziwen poured out all the remaining ammunition from the machine gun, and just now he fired more than ten rounds vigorously, and there were only more than ten bullets in the gun, and all the devils who rushed in front of Zhang Ziwen were put to the ground. At this time, the brothers of the fourth battalion did not pay attention to the bushido spirit of the devil, and they all loaded and hit the devil, and the devil on the north aisle was driven off the city wall, and at this time Zhang Ziwen saw clearly that the collapsed wall section was five or six meters, which was also the reason why the devil had to attack from here.

The devils in the south were not covered by the devils in the north, and the dozen devils who rushed up were shot on the collapsed city wall one by one.

The devil retreated, but he didn't retreat far, as soon as he retreated, the devil's mortar and the devil's tank rang out, hiding from the artillery fire, I don't know who saw the devil and touched it again. Braving artillery fire, they began to block the Japanese army, and then let the devils rush up, but they couldn't catch up.

Give the machine gun to Dali, Dali let the sub-shooter touch the city wall, just now he carried sandbags and put the ammunition boxes under the city wall, and Dali touched the ammunition on the corpses of the brothers. According to this consumption, when the devils rushed to the bottom of the city wall, the fourth battalion estimated that there were not many combatants, and the devils' heavy machine guns swept over the brothers on the city wall, and they could only shoot one shot and crouch down, and most of the brothers probably didn't even see the devils.

"Take out all the grenades, get all the fuses out, and throw them into the gap in the wall at my command, and communicate them to each other."

Zhang Ziwen was worried that the brothers would not be able to hear, so they asked them to communicate to each other. Thanks to Lao Shen getting a few boxes of grenades before the war, Zhang Ziwen would have thought about how to die now.

Zhang Ziwen glanced up, the devil was already close to the city wall, and it was time to rush up the collapsed city wall in a few seconds.

"Pull~"

Zhang Ziwen counted down to three, pulled the grenade in his hand and threw it out, followed by the sound of the grenade exploding, but it didn't sound right, it wasn't the explosion of the grenade, how could there be a wave of air.

Then a round of artillery came over Zhang Ziwen only to understand that it was not a grenade, but the sound of cannonball, the sound of cannons from Purple Mountain, but unfortunately the sound of cannons stopped after three rounds of fighting, but the devil should have been repulsed.

The brother on the opposite side was shot in the chest as soon as he got up, Zhang Ziwen looked under the city wall, and several devils hid under the city wall to avoid artillery fire if they couldn't retreat, and the artillery fire didn't stop but killed a brother.

"Vigorously, under the city walls, give me the little Japan that killed the dog."

The force was just enough to fill the ammunition, and the machine gun burst out a few times, and all the devils under it were put down, and no one would care that they died there.

"Get out the bodies of the brethren."

After Zhang Ziwen finished speaking, he went down and picked up a brother, no matter which one was connected, they were all brothers.

Zhang Ziwen carried out the dead brothers and buried the body of the devil directly into the city wall, Zhang Ziwen came over before he started to fill in the division team, there were about 300 people, and the matter of repairing the city wall was replaced by the division team, and the fourth battalion now has less than 100 people alive.

The fourth battalion only defended the distance of more than two miles of more than 70 miles in the city wall of Nanjing, and it was close to the reserve position of the Purple Mountain, and there was artillery support, and the casualties were as high as three-fifths.

The four battalions were replaced, and they rested under the city wall nearby, and in the evening the devils launched another round of attacks while the city walls were not repaired, but fortunately, the brothers in the direct team were tenacious and paid the high price of dozens of brothers' lives to drive the devils down.

The brothers of the fourth battalion, who had rested for two hours, began to help repair the city wall after eating, and the brothers in the direct team were not enough, and the fourth battalion would make up for it sooner or later, and no one would have any complaints now.

It was not repaired until eleven o'clock in the evening, but the collapsed slope of the wall could not be repaired, so the fire could only be increased in that area.

"Is there any news from Lao Shen?"

Lao Shen has a wide range of connections and many news channels, and the division commander often tells him the news and asks him to share his views.

"You look at the map......"

Zhang Ziwen didn't know where he got the map, and every time he arrived at that place, he could take out the map.

"Now the 16th Division of the Japanese Army attacking Zhongshanmen, most of the 16th Division is attacking Purple Mountain, I estimate that our division will not face more than two brigades of enemies, it may be an incomplete wing of the Japanese army, otherwise our little strength will not last so long with artillery support, and we will only use reserves now."

Zhang Ziwen felt that Lao Shen was suitable to be a staff officer rather than a chief officer, and his sense of staff was too strong.

"Okay, tell me about the situation of the various departments in Nanjing now."

"Now the 88th Division guards the area of Yuhuatai and Da Nanmen, the 87th Division is the line from Zhongshan Gate to Zhonghua Gate, the gendarmerie guards the area of Hanzhong Gate, and the teaching corps to which we belong guards Zhongshan Gate, Taiping Gate and Purple Mountain. The 36th Division was responsible for the defense of the city. This afternoon, the devils broke through the first front line of Yuhuatai, and the 88th Division has not yet taken it back. ”

After Lao Shen finished speaking, he gave the map to Zhang Ziwen and let him see it alone.
