Finally, the devil suffered serious losses and began to retreat.

"Brothers, chase!" Zhang Biao shouted while holding a light machine gun. The machine gun in his hand, "suddenly, suddenly", fired fiercely at the devil! The officers and soldiers of the Reading Force Regiment jumped out of the trenches one after another, chasing the devil and beating him hard! A few machine gunners are desperately shooting at the devils! As if bullets don't cost money! The artillery also began to take advantage of the fire to loot and fired several shells at the retreating crowd of devils, and the bloody flesh of the devils was blown up, and there were heavy casualties!

Devil Command.

The captain of Matsumoto Wing had a dark face, and the two squadron leaders in charge of the attack had their heads bowed. Matsumoto said: "You are all working with rice, and you have sacrificed so many imperial warriors and have not captured Guanghua Gate, but you have also lost the positions you fought yesterday, and they are all rice buckets!" These positions must be recaptured before it gets dark today! Otherwise, you will drop all your seppuku and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor! Matsumoto said resentfully.

"Captain, the defending army this time is very cunning! , and they also have battle defense artillery and a lot of infantry artillery, and their firepower is even stronger than the original Chinese army! A squadron leader said.

"Yaga Tooth Road! Smack! These are not the reasons for the failure of your attack, I say that this imperial army is invincible, invincible, and the strongest army in the world! After slapping the squadron leader several times, Matsumoto roared.

The squadron leader who was beaten hurriedly said, "Hai! ”

"Immediately organize death squads to retake the lost position, hurry up!"

"Hail"

………………………

Zhang Mingyu was frowning and pondering at the headquarters, Zhang Haisheng said: "Tuanza, look, the devil is going to attack again!" Hearing this, Zhang Mingyu hurriedly picked up the binoculars and saw that the devil soldiers were wrapped around their heads with white cloth strips with slogans such as long live the emperor.

"It looks like the devil is organizing a death squad!" Seeing this, Zhang Mingyu frowned and pondered. "Zhang Biao"

"Yes!" Zhang Biao suddenly responded.

"Take the guard platoon to Lao Tzu to hold the position!" Zhang Mingyu said.

"Yes," Zhang Biao snapped upright.

The offensive tactics of the devils have remained unchanged for almost 10,000 years, and the infantry rushed towards the [***] position under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire, but the devil's artillery fire continued to fire at the position of the Reading Regiment regardless of the safety of the charging army.

"Tuanza, why are these little devils still shelling, they are not afraid of hurting their own people!" Seeing this, Zhang Biao asked hurriedly in confusion.

"This time it is the devil's death squad that is at the forefront, so the devils are not afraid of hurting their own people at all, and order the troops to temporarily hide, and when the devil's death squad approaches, they will fight their death squad, as long as their death squad is all dead, the devil's artillery will not be firing!" Zhang Mingyu immediately decided.

"Yes!" Zhang Biao suddenly agreed.

"All hidden, no shots are allowed without orders," Zhang Biao leaned over and shouted through the trenches to convey the order.

The shelling of the devils continued, and from time to time there was a rumbling sound in Zhang Mingyu's ears, and the explosion of the shells was a splash of mud from the impact of the air current, and the officers and men in the trenches were not afraid of danger, and all of them lay motionless in the trenches waiting for orders.

Soon the devil's death squad took the lead in rushing up, Zhang Mingyu raised his head slightly and could clearly see the devil soldiers swarming more than 100 meters away, he immediately raised his hand, and the officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time suddenly got up and set up their guns, pulled the bolt and prepared to fight.

Due to the shelling of the devils, the [***] position seen by the devil death squad was only a sea of fire, filled with gunsmoke, and failed to find the situation on the [***] position.

When the devil death squad entered within sixty meters, Zhang Mingyu decisively gave the order to open fire.

The officers and men of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 3rd companies, as well as the guard platoon, opened fire one after another, and the light and heavy machine guns let out a dull roar, and the dense rain of bullets suddenly rushed towards the devil crowd like the wind.

The devil death squad was caught off guard and was suddenly knocked down by the oncoming dense rain of bullets, and these devil death squads, which had become extremely fanatical, did not retreat but advanced after being hit by fierce fire, and rushed forward one by one with a howl and more desperately, but they were greeted by a dense and scorching rain of bullets.

In the dense gunfire and the screams of the devils, soon the devils were slaughtered cleanly, a squadron leader who led the charge was directly beaten into a sieve, the casualties on the side of the reading regiment were less than twenty people, which was completely negligible, after all the jade of the death squad was shattered, the follow-up troops of the devils also rushed in, but under the heroic resistance of the officers and soldiers of the reading regiment, the devil's attack was repelled again.

Repelled an attack by the devils, Zhang Mingyu took Zhang Biao and others back to his temporary headquarters, and as soon as he entered the headquarters, a communication soldier hurriedly greeted him with a telegram, and stood up and said: "Tuanza!" Chairman's urgent call! After speaking, he handed the telegram to Zhang Mingyu.

Zhang Mingyu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly finished reading it, and the content of the telegram was to appoint Gui Yongqing as the acting commander-in-chief of Nanjing's urban defense, and he himself was promoted to lieutenant general and division commander and deputy commander, and the reading force regiment was expanded into a reading division.

At this moment, Gui Yongqing came to Zhang Mingyu's headquarters with several guards, and apparently he also received an urgent telegram from Chairman Chiang.

After a few shabby sentences, Zhang Mingyu said to Gui Yongqing: "Big brother, hurry back to the headquarters to command the overall situation, and leave it to me here!" In addition, the organization personnel arranged for the relocation of the people as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll hand over the teaching team to you, remember to save some seeds for the teaching team!" Gui Yongqing nodded.

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded solemnly.

After Gui Yongqing returned to the headquarters with the guards, he immediately organized the personnel to start the transfer of the people! The first section of the tax police regiment of the Ministry of Finance, under the leadership of the regiment commander Sun Liren, began to evacuate the people, and Chairman Jiang of Wuhan called Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations, to make every effort to meet the transfer of the people in Nanjing. At this time, all the guards in Nanjing were killed and sworn to death, blocking the frantic attack of the Yue army.

The attack of the Yue army was blocked, and Matsui Shigen ordered the 10th Army of the Yue Army, which had already invaded Wuxi, to turn around and attack Nanjing, and Wuxi was temporarily preserved! After the tragic sacrifice of the annihilation of the two squadrons, the Matsumoto Wing still broke through the position of the Reading Regiment, the Wing Commander Matsumoto committed suicide by caesarean section that night! The Matsumoto Wing was merged into the Kameda Wing, which had a reinforced artillery squadron.

The cunning Kameda first bombarded the position of the Reading Force! After the cannon sounded, the fighters came out of their bunkers and were subjected to another heavy shelling, and the reading division suffered heavy casualties! It turned out that Kameda figured out the law of [***], as soon as they opened fire, [***] would hide in the bunker, and when the shelling was over, he would run out again, and the cunning Kameda did not let the imperial army charge after the artillery stopped shelling, but ordered to fire fiercely at the [***] position! The [***] soldiers who were caught off guard were bombed and suffered heavy casualties!

Seeing this, Zhang Mingyu hurriedly said to the herald beside him: "Immediately send an order to the artillery, give me a cannon aimed at the artillery position of the army, and bombard him with a son of a bitch!" ”

"Yes!" The herald snapped to his feet and turned to leave.

After receiving the order, the artillery regiment subordinate to the teaching corps quickly adjusted the direction of firing, calibrated the shooting elements, and carried out indiscriminate shelling of the artillery positions of the devils, "booming" ...... Several loud shells hit the devil's artillery position, detonating the devil's shell and producing a martyrdom! The devil's 92 infantry artillery and artillery were blown up into the sky. Note: "In the [***] system at that time, only the most elite Central Teaching Corps had an artillery regiment-level establishment. 》

Captain Kameda saw that his artillery was bombed and suffered heavy casualties! Furious, he pulled out his command knife and said: "Kill and give, attack!" ”

The devil soldiers shouted "Long live the Emperor," and other slogans launched an attack on the position of the Reading Division! This time the devil's attack was very fierce, and Zhang Mingyu personally led the people to start a tragic white-edged battle with the devil! Both sides fought to the death, and the positions outside Guanghuamen changed hands repeatedly. Both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties, and the Kameda Wing was crippled under heavy artillery fire from the Teaching Regiment. Forced to withdraw from the battle!

The Reading Force also suffered nearly 600 casualties! Among them, there are 400 people from the original teaching team, but the combat effectiveness of the teaching team is really not covered! The soldiers who have been trained by the German [***] officer have extremely strong individual combat ability! served as the main force during the time of the devil's attack, and even blocked the devil's fierce attack. And the performance of Zhang Mingyu and the soldiers of the original reading group also won the respect of the teaching team, and Zhang Mingyu always braved the rain of bullets and bullets to rush to the front every time he counterattacked!

Just when all the troops were fighting with the army outside Nanjing, a large-scale transfer began in Nanjing, and a large number of enthusiastic young people and students were unwilling to leave and asked to join the army.

Sun Liren, the head of the tax police regiment responsible for transferring the people, said to the students: "Students, you are all the future of the motherland, you should stay useful and contribute to the war of resistance in the future, instead of giving up your life in vain!" ”

"We're not leaving, we're going to fight devils with our [***] brothers! We are men and we will not back down! The students shouted.

"Quiet students! Be quiet! Our [***] brothers are fighting bloody battles with devils on the front line just to buy you time to transfer, and you must not let down their kindness! Listen to me, everyone hurry up and transfer! In order to stay useful, I will serve the motherland in the future! Sun Liren persuaded bitterly. Gradually, these students moved with the people!

At this time, the reinforcements of the 10th Army had arrived, and the 9th Brigade, also known as the Guoqi Detachment, had arrived at Xiapukou and was fighting fiercely with the 36th Division of the defenders.

Provisional command of the 9th Brigade Regiment.

The brigade commander Guo Qideng saw through his glasses that the citizens of Nanjing were retreating from the city to the outside of the city on a large scale, and there were ferries on the Yangtze River to and fro! Guoqi, the old devil, immediately ordered the troops to attack the ferry! The 36th Division, which was defending the crossing, immediately counterattacked, and the battle was extremely fierce.

The devil's plane also flew to participate in the bombing, and the 36th Division stationed at the ferry suffered heavy casualties! The devil's plane fired at a low altitude at the common people who were crossing the river, and suddenly hundreds of people were shot and fell into the water, and the blood stained the river red, and the soldiers who were responsible for covering the transfer of the people angrily picked up their machine guns and shot fiercely into the sky!

"Little devil, I'll grass your grandma, you have the ability to come down!" A soldier cursed while firing at the devil's plane with a machine gun in his hand.
