December 12, 1937.

After Zhang Lingfu was forced to leave Nanjing, the 305th Regiment, under the command of the acting regiment commander Chang Xiaode, retreated to Nanjing Shuiximen and continued to fight side by side with the 302nd Regiment in Saihongqiao.

At that time, Zhou Zhidao, the commander of the 151st Brigade, had only one regiment left, the 302nd Regiment. And facing is the army with aircraft, artillery, and chariots, which has a far superior number of people.

Zhou Zhidao gave only one order to Cheng Zhi, the commander of the 302nd Regiment:

"Die in Saihongqiao. You die first, I die later! ”

You die first, I die later!

When this order was given, the entire 302nd regiment knew what fate it was going to face.

Looking at the other side of the army, which was about to move and was preparing to attack, all the soldiers silently wiped their guns, silently unscrewed the lid of the grenade, and silently wrote their suicide note

"I can no longer be filial piety, only loyal to the country. In the first war of Nanjing, there was death and no life, and I hoped that my father and mother would take good care of themselves. When the child grows up, he hopes for a safe life. Wives can remarry, please don't stop your parents. The son died for the country, and his death was glorious. In front of him, he was fierce, and the officers and men of the whole regiment could only fight to the death. Among the [***] sons, it is their duty to donate their lives, and they are very fortunate. ”

This is a desperate letter left by Zheng Pusheng, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 302nd Regiment.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the 12th, with the assistance of chariots, the army began a large-scale attack.

The 302nd Regiment, which had long been determined to die, under the personal command of the regiment commander Cheng Zhi, unfolded the most tragic scene of the officers and soldiers of the regiment in the defense of Nanjing!

In fact, no one gave them the order to defend the Saihongqiao, they could retreat at will, but the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment did not do it, they chose another path:

Defend the dignity of the nation with your own blood!

Defend the capital, defend China!

The four chariots of the army, like four iron turtles, slowly drove towards the position.

The soldiers of the 1st battalion rushed out! The blue sky is white and the ground is red, representing the dignity of the country and the dignity of the Chinese people!

The battle flag is rolling, and the cry is moving!

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion, in groups of 12 people, armed with explosives, did not avoid the rain of bullets, and charged hard, and their goal was these invincible chariots!

One tank exploded, and then another, and the price paid by the 1st Battalion for this was the lives of [***] of the 13 men!

The third army chariot was almost exchanged for the lives of two demolition teams, and the last chariot was about to slip away, but suddenly saw a nimble figure rushing up in a few steps, pulling out the fuse, stuffing it under the chariot, and then rolling one by one.

With a "boom", the last tank was also paralyzed there!

Zheng Pusheng stood up with difficulty, he had many wounds on his body, looking at the four chariots that were blown up, the corners of Zheng Pusheng's mouth showed a proud smile:

"Brothers, kill the enemy!"

Suddenly, Zheng Pusheng's body stiffened there, motionless, and a string of bullets all entered his body.

Slowly, he fell like a pine

"Urasa! Urasa! ”

Zheng Pusheng barely opened his eyes, and he saw the head of the regiment, Cheng Zhi, coming up. Zheng Pusheng exhaled softly: "Tuanzuo, 1st battalion, my 1st battalion is handed over to you"

Cheng Zhi nodded heavily, Zheng Pusheng was relieved, and slowly, slowly closed his eyes

Putting down his brother's body, Cheng Zhi gritted his teeth and stood up, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time has come to serve the country, leave yourself here!" ”

This day is the most tragic day in the history of the 302nd Regiment, but this day is also the proudest day in the history of the 302nd Regiment!

In front of the position, more than 500 military corpses strewn across the battlefield.

In the face of the frenzied attack of the Japanese army, the 302nd Regiment held its position and constantly launched counter-charges, destroying more than 500 enemies and capturing more than 10 light and heavy machine guns and more than 40 rifles.

However, the brothers of the 302nd Regiment also paid a heavy price for this. The loyal bones of more than 1,700 officers and men of the regiment are buried here forever.

Cheng Zhi glanced at his empty left sleeve, took out a cigarette with his right hand, leaned on a burning branch, lit the cigarette, and took a hard puff.

There are still eight subordinates left around him, and he has lost a left arm forever, but compared to those brothers who have already died, this is nothing!

Looking up at the sky, the sky seemed to be obscured by blood.

He looked at the brothers around him again: "Are you afraid? ”

The eight brothers nodded in unison, Cheng Zhi smiled, but when he smiled, the pain in the broken arm was terrible: "I'm also afraid, I have a wife at home and two children, I thought that after this battle, I would be able to see them, but now it seems that there is no way to see them again." ”

The army began to attack, but Cheng Zhi didn't seem to see it at all, and his eyes still fell on his brother:

"Brothers, we can't go back, the battle has come to this point, no one should be a bad seed, let's die here together, we have a companion on the Huangquan Road."

The eight brothers nodded in unison.

Cheng Zhi asked the brothers to pull over a box of explosives and put it in the middle: "Cheng Zhi, commander of the 151st Regiment of the 302nd Brigade, was martyred on December 12, the 26th year of the Republic of China. ”

"Dai Demin, the commander of the 151st Company of the 302nd Regiment of the 9th Brigade, was martyred in December 12, the 26th year of the Republic of China."

"Ma Angui, a soldier of the 151st Brigade and the 302nd Regiment, was martyred on December 12 of the 26th year of the Republic of China."

One by one, the brothers reported their names, and at this time the army was already very close.

Cheng Zhi listened carefully to the words of the last brother, and his hand was already on the fuse:

"Brothers, you are all good, remember this day, wait until you get in front of Lord Hades, tell Lord Hades, how did we all die!"

"Commander, let's do it."

The bayonets of the army had already appeared on the position, Dai Demin said calmly.

Cheng Zhi opened the fuse, and looking at the green smoke rising from the "swoop", he suddenly shouted loudly:

"In the next life, there will be [***] people!"

In the next life, there will be [***] people!

The cry of this pneumatic mountain and river shook the heavens and the earth!

On December 12, 1937, Cheng Zhi, commander of the 302nd Regiment of the 151st Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, and Zheng Pusheng, commander of the 1st Battalion, were martyred, and more than 1,700 officers and soldiers of the regiment were martyred!

But they have no regrets, they fought for the country, died for the country, and were heroic martyrs!

In the next life, there will be [***] people!
