Chapter 229: Battle of Nanjing (Battle of Spartan 300 Warriors)
Nanjing City passes through the Zhonghua Gate, and then a kilometer into the city is a staggered vertical and horizontal alley.
The alleys are unusually narrow, allowing only two or three people to pass through at the same time, for the people of Nanjing to stroll after dinner and enjoy the shade, and the alleys are lined with high and heavy walls on both sides.
The unique cultural environment of this alley is also a unique scenery of Nanjing City on weekdays, but at this moment it has become an important barrier for Han Xin to rely on more than 2,000 defenders to contain more than 40,000 devils.
In the ancient history of Europe, the Spartans were extremely brave and invincible, and their most famous in history was the Battle of Thermopylae, with 300 Spartan warriors breaking off, resisting the 300,000 Persians calling for an alliance of millions of troops for two days and two nights.
Even in the end, the sacrifice of 300 people was exchanged for the sacrifice of more than 20,000 of the enemy, which seemed like a miracle at any time.
And in that battle, they borrowed the unique geographical advantage of the Greek hot springs Guan Yifu Guan Wanfu and successfully defeated the enemy.
Today, Han Xin's intentions are the same, he still doesn't believe it, since the ancients can resist the charge of 300,000 troops for two days and two nights with 300 people, then why can't he Han Xin resist the 40,000 iron cavalry of the Japanese with more than 2,000 defenders.
At this moment when the situation was in crisis and the Japanese army could rush over at any time, Han Xin began to mobilize the soldiers of the 388th Regiment.
He was on a high platform, not angry, and all the people were quiet.
Before the Japanese army invaded Zhonghua Gate just now, Han Xin's description of the empty city plan was still vivid.
"Gathering our artillery fire to bombard with all our strength and quickly eliminate the first squadron of devils can confuse the judgment of devils and delay the pace of the Japanese army.
Then we evacuated from Zhonghua Gate and ambushed in the alley one kilometer away, waiting for work, and using the unique topography of the alley to disperse the devil's troops......"
Han Xin's judgment seemed to be still ringing in everyone's ears, and the little devil's next actions really went according to Han Xin's expectations.
There was a frenzied bombardment of the Zhonghua Gate, which did not have a single defender, for a whole hour.
In other words, Han Xin's small empty city plan, without losing a single soldier, only sacrificed a Zhonghua Gate to delay the invasion of the Japanese army's 40,000 troops for nearly two hours.
Based on this alone, Han Xin's outstanding ability has been initially recognized by more than 2,000 defenders.
"Brothers, do you see? It is here, the alleys are one after another, the terrain is narrow, and it has the characteristics of being a man and a man.
In other words, no matter how many little devils there are and how many people there are more than us, we are only facing the part of the devils at the front of the alley at one time. ”
Listening to Han Xin's narration, Dong Gang's eyes lit up instantly, they were all battle-hardened old men, and they naturally understood how important geographical advantages were for a battle.
"The regiment commander is right, let's drag the alley to the little devil to have a street fight, with our nearly 3,000 defenders, plus the geographical advantage of this alley, we can definitely stop the little devil for a while."
"Commander, I said why did you let us evacuate the Zhonghua Gate! Compared with Zhonghua Gate, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is extremely easy for little devils to launch artillery attacks, this alley is indeed a good place for fighting. ”
Lu Guangwei reacted, but the words he said made the more than 2,000 defenders around him bow their heads a little shyly.
Dong Gang deserved to be a bright and upright man, and immediately stood up, like Han Xin hugged his fists and said: "Commander, we blamed you before, I apologize to you on behalf of my brothers!"
"It's okay!"
Han Xin smiled and unveiled it, and then asked: "Gangzi, let me ask you, how long do you think that with our nearly 3,000 brothers and the unique terrain of this alley, we can stop the Japanese army?"
"Ten hours?" Dong Gang replied tentatively.
Okay shook his head noncommittally, "Are you sure wow?" ”
"Eight hours!"
"Four hours, four hours is always fine!"
Seeing that Han Xin still didn't mean to agree, Dong Gang continued
Han Xin still smiled and shook his head, "In this way, I'll tell you a real historical story that happened in the West!" ”
"Spartan 300 Warriors" ......"
After Han Xin's short and concise story was told, everyone showed a look of disbelief in silence.
300 people resisted the 300,000 army for two days and two nights, and successfully defeated more than 20,000 people, which seems to be a myth no matter how you look at it.
But looking at Han Xin's sworn appearance, everyone didn't feel that their head was lying.
"Tuan, regimental commander, what you are telling is really true?"
"Western historical records, even if they are exaggerated, will never be too much."
Hiss......
3000 defenders, unanimously shocked.
Dong Gang reacted at the first time, and the emotional head just thought that he had said too little.
He stammered a little: "Regiment, regiment commander, don't you think we can really stop the footsteps of the tens of thousands of devils!" ”
"Gangzi, haha, you won't be cowardly!
To tell you the truth, let alone stop the army of devils, that is, as long as the phrase "completely eliminate these devils" comes out of the mouth of our regiment commander, then I, Lu Guangwei, also believe it! ”
Seeing Dong Gang's disdainful face and obvious doubts, Lu Guangwei's eyes widened, and he shouted to the soldiers of the 388th Regiment behind him, "Tell him, your answer!" ”
"Faith! Letter! ”
"Crazy, crazy!"
Dong Gang couldn't help but scold, and finally fixed his eyes on Han Xin's face, the head of the regiment can't go crazy with it!
"It's not that exaggerated, but we can definitely do it, in the defensive battle of Nanjing City, we will be the team that will hold out to the end, and we will also be the team that will hold back the largest army of devils with the least number of troops.
After this battle, our 388th Regiment will surely shine in the defense of Nanjing and become famous all over the world!
And you will return with the brightest of glory! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The warriors listened with enthusiasm, and they didn't know what words to use to express their inner emotions, and they roared in unison.
The sound shook the sky, and everyone stopped for a long time, and the roaring sound was still echoing in the alley.
"Brothers, street fighting, the emphasis is on a ghostly, to fight more with less.
You must make full use of the terrain of the alley to confuse and destroy the enemy in constant motion.
In this way, in groups of twenty people, they will defend the entrances of each alley and snipe the enemy.
Remember, the purpose of the battle is to contain the devil rather than to destroy the devil, and you must pay attention to retaining the way out, and you must not let the little devil make dumplings. ”
"Have you remembered everything?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, now let's talk about my detailed arrangements......"
