…… The 388th Regiment fought in the streets of Nanjing.

This is a famous battle that can be recorded in China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and even the entire anti-Fascist struggle.

Needless to say, the tragedy of this battle and its thrilling process are self-explanatory.

But the results it has achieved, and the splendor that shines on the world:

With more than 2,000 remnants of soldiers, more than 40,000 southern devils were sent to the south of the alley in Nanjing, and the pace of aggression could not be advanced for a whole day from the afternoon of the 12th to the morning of the 13th.

Enough to amaze the world!

……

The time goes back to three o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th.

Nanjing City, inside the Zhonghua Gate, at the mouth of the alley.

For the first time, the communications troops sent to inquire about the news reported that the Japanese army had broken through all the defensive lines and was approaching the city of Nanjing.

Han Xin said calmly: "Continue to stick to the alley, and we must not let the devil in front of us take a step forward."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the signal corps reported for the second time: the Japanese army had broken through Tongji Gate, Guanghua Gate, Zhongshan Gate, and Taiping Gate, and poured into the city of Nanjing, fighting fiercely with the remnants of the Nationalist army.

Han Xin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said firmly: "Keep sticking!"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Shoufu's army was almost crazy, knowing that there were not many defenders in the alley, and even ammunition was not enough.

However, the footsteps of the Imperial Japanese Army were dragged back and could not advance half a step, and the tenacity, fierceness, and fear of death of these defenders were simply appalling.

At the same time, the 388th Regiment Signal Corps reported for the third time: the remnants of the defenders in Nanjing City were basically disintegrated, and the army of devils was menacing, killing all the way.

The three-way devil army has heard that the devil army on the south road is approaching here after being blocked by our army, and it is expected that it will form an encirclement of our army at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

In addition, the garrison commander Tang Shengzhi officially issued a retreat order, and it is rumored that Tang Shengzhi has already evacuated Nanjing City!

When the news spread, the remaining fighters of the 388th Regiment were all wide-eyed and their faces were full of resentment.

Looking at the brothers around him, with less than 3,000 people to block more than 40,000 devils, how could he not pay a heavy price, at this moment, the number of the 388th Regiment has been sharply reduced to less than 1,000 people.

However, in this way, the Supreme Commander actually fled alone, only giving an order to "retreat".

But how to retreat under the siege of this army of hundreds of thousands of devils? Where to retreat? I didn't mention it at all.

"Regiment commander, we have been abandoned, and what we say about swearing to surround Nanjing to the death is all liar!"

"Commander, Nanjing City has been broken, what should we do?"

“…… Now I'm fighting hard with the devils, but I'm just a bunch of fools who make people see jokes! ”

All kinds of worries and angry roars sounded, the soldiers of the 388th Regiment were filled with righteous indignation, and the escape of the supreme commander of Nanjing City instantly shattered everyone's fighting spirit.

Han Xin raised his hand, everyone quieted down, and he said with a straight face: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, but the order to retreat was given too late, and there is no specific plan, once the devil attacks, the soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

Therefore, our battle at this moment is even more important, to buy time for the retreating soldiers and allow more soldiers to survive. ”

"So, brothers, we will withdraw, but we will hold out until tomorrow morning!"

The scene that had been silent for a moment soon boiled again, and the warriors were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of a meaningless death.

"Commander, since you said so, then we will fight!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

With Dong Gang and Lu Guangwei taking the lead, everyone's emotions quickly rose again, and no one mentioned the evacuation.

…… Dawn came quickly, Gu Shoufu was really ruthless, and launched several charges overnight, but was repelled by Han Xin, who had expected it.

At nine o'clock in the morning, just when Gu Shoufu was looking forward to preparing for the encirclement and annihilation of the 388th Regiment by joint reinforcements.

The soldiers of the 388th Regiment came out of their shells under the leadership of Han Xin, and hundreds of people disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the angry and stomping Gu Shoufu and the defeated devils to surround the army.

…… Ten kilometers away from Yijiangmen, on a street, Han Xin appeared with hundreds of soldiers.

At this moment, although the casualties of the brothers were very large, everyone's faces were filled with heartfelt pride and pride.

Without him, in the defense of Nanjing, the 388th Regiment was undoubtedly the most dazzling team among them, winning the greatest glory with the least number of troops.

"Regiment commander, less than ten kilometers further is Yijiangmen, according to reliable information, the devil's fleet was blocked at the Wulongshan Fort, and it is temporarily impossible to reach the Yangtze River section of Yijiangmen.

Therefore, this Yijiangmen can be said to be the only safe way to retreat under the siege of more than 200,000 troops in the east, west, and south of the devil on three sides. ”

"Actually......"

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, several gunshots rang out, interrupting Han Xin's words.

Han Xin's brows furrowed, "Send someone to investigate immediately and see what the gunfire in front of you is!" ”

"Yes!"

The signal corps immediately went out, and since the source of the gunfire was not far away, the signal corps quickly turned back.

"Regiment leader, it seems that a team of our department in front is besieged by an army of devils and is resisting to the death!"

"How many devils are there?"

"It is preliminarily estimated that there is a devil brigade, and they can't hold out for long, and we are afraid that it will be too late to rush over to rescue now."

"Can you see the number?"

"Okay, it seems to be the ...... of the 358th Regiment of the National Army"

"Three-Five-Eighth Regiment, Chu Wenli?" Han Xin was stunned......

……

"Regiment commander, the signal corps has come to report that a team of our troops has appeared a kilometer to our left, should we ask them for help?"

"How many of them are there?"

A young and resolute face with a dusty face appeared and asked in a deep voice.

As Han Xin thought, it was the commander of the 358th Regiment who came from the Second War Zone to support Nanjing with Han Xin, Chu Wenli!

"I don't know, but there are not many people, about three or four hundred people......"

"Three or four hundred! It's too late, the far water can't save the near fire, and even if they are willing to support us, plus our remnants are far from being the opponents of these devils, and it will only add casualties. ”

"Order, ignore the reinforcements, and tell the brothers that we can only save ourselves in this battle!"

"Regiment, regimental commander, we are running out of ammunition!"

And just when Chu Wenli's order had not yet been issued, a company commander said with an anxious look on his face.

"Gone? How could it be so fast! ”

Chu Wenli was taken aback, and the corners of his mouth showed bitterness: "In that case, tell the brothers, prepare for a white-edged battle, and fight with the little devil!"

"Spelled ......"

The soldiers of the 358th Regiment roared under the leadership of Chu Wenli, and all the soldiers were ready to die.

However, just as Chu Wenli was about to kill the general, the devils who were originally going to charge withdrew one after another, and seemed to have given up on continuing to hunt and kill Chu Wenli and the others.

This strange situation directly made the entire 358th Regiment into confusion!
