Chapter 214: Yuhuatai, the mighty spirit lasts forever!

On the Yuhua platform, the gunfire did not stop for a moment!

Under the order of Tani Shofu, several squadrons of the Japanese army took advantage of the fragmentation of the Yuhuatai position and sent Shouto's squadron to break into the position, intending to force a breakthrough in a sharp knife formation, and then divide the attack.

Zhu Chi and Gao Zhisong's 88th Division was originally the ace of the first division, participated in the battle of Shanghai Luodian, known as the flesh and blood grinding plate, the soldiers were all brave, and the shouting of the arms on the battlefield where Lu Yuan assassinated Gu Shoufu last night completely inspired the determination of the soldiers to fight to the end with the brutal Japanese army.

The Japanese troops who had just infiltrated the heights were surrounded by two battalions commanded by Zhu Chi, and the Shouto squadron instantly found that all sides were full of red-eyed soldiers!

"Hit!"

The two officers shouted, and the soldiers shot wildly, countless bullets with boundless rage, shooting at this wave of Japanese troops who broke through the position.

Shouto's squadron is the elite of the Japanese army, all of them are murderous demon kings, plus Gu Shoufu promised that as long as they break through Nanjing, they will be able to be gods in Nanjing City, and they can do whatever they want, so they are even more brave to be the first, and they actually braved the whistling bullets, screaming and killing the soldiers!

However, although all of these Japanese troops were killed, they were not familiar with the formation in the position after all, and the place was narrow and could not arrange an effective defensive and counteroffensive strategy, but this side had already prepared, and both the strength and firepower far exceeded this wave of Japanese troops!

In the roaring gunfire and the explosion of countless grenades, the Japanese soldiers were beaten and flesh flew sideways, wailing again and again.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Shouto, a Japanese lieutenant officer who had thought of a success in the First World War, saw his men fall like wheat under the intensive fire, and his eyes were so angry that he had to give the order to retreat first and backward.

"Yes, don't even think about going back if you come!"

A young soldier had already aimed at Shouto, and when he saw that the other party wanted to escape, he jumped out of the trench desperately, and pulled the trigger when he aimed at Shouto!

In the crisp sound of gunfire, Shouto, who was roaring and screaming, fell to the ground with a miserable howl, blood spurting on his chest, and he couldn't survive!

"I hit, I killed a little devil officer!"

The young soldier danced excitedly, and the next second he fell to the ground and was shot by a Japanese soldier in a counterattack.

"Stupid!"

Some veterans saw him fall, stomped their feet in annoyance, and said in their hearts that you just remembered that you killed the Japanese officer, and no one grabbed credit from you, what are you proud of? Now it's okay, smug is proud, what's the use of people dying?

There are many such recruits, they have a heart of blood to serve the country, but they are often the first to shed blood, in such a killing field, experienced veterans often become the last to survive, and they can also kill the most enemies in silence.

This wave of Japanese troops finally retreated, hundreds of people broke into the position, only more than 30 devils fled back, and the rest were all killed on the spot!

"Baga, blow them up for me, and flatten this Yuhuatai for me!"

Gu Shoufu roared angrily, he can't wait to let his troops attack Nanjing and then start a killing spree, only in this way can the pain of the wounds on his body be weakened, and one more second is a huge torment.

The Japanese concentrated hundreds of artillery pieces and began to bombard the position indiscriminately again, and the whole position was almost as if it had been plowed by a plowshare, and it was almost difficult to find a piece of land that had not been covered by artillery fire!

The 88th Division originally had a large number of artillery, but it had almost lost all of its strength in Shanghai, and now only a few small guns such as anti-aircraft guns were used to garrison the position.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese army, the counterattack of several small cannons seemed to be full of pathos.

After the artillery bombardment, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers launched a fierce attack under the cover of more than 50 combat vehicles and armored vehicles, and the Japanese brigades concentrated all light and heavy machine guns to cover the infantry charge, and the bullets were so dense that they could almost shoot down flies flying in the sky!

According to historical records, in just one or two days of Yuhuatai offensive and defensive battles, a division of the Japanese army lost nearly 120,000 rounds of ammunition, and they only lost 200,000 rounds of ammunition in the Shanghai battlefield for a whole month!

Gu Shoufu's 6th Division knocked out more than 10,000 rounds of shells of more than 7 mm in this day's attack, while the 13th Division that attacked Yuhuatai with the 6th Division only fought 20,000 rounds in a month on the Shanghai battlefield!

This is only one of the divisions, and now the attack on Yuhuatai is mainly the Sixth Division led by Gu Shoufu, adding up to a total of 30,000 or 40,000 people in four divisions, and the bullets and shells shot are almost incalculable!

The soldiers led by Zhu Chigao Zhisong, as well as the friendly troops, were only 10,000 people, and they were still nailed to this position like nails, relying on unparalleled courage and determination

For the city of Nanjing, for the survival of the nation, and for the integrity of the soldiers, they all fought with their lives!

In such a brutal battle, Zhu Chi, the commander of the 262nd Brigade, and Gao Zhisong, the commander of the 264th Brigade, were not willing to just defend passively, and they also tried every means to counterattack, because Lu Yuan had the courage to assassinate Gu Shoufu among the tens of millions of Japanese troops, and they felt that they were now facing an enemy that was only several times their own, so why should they only defend and not attack?

Under their leadership, regiment commanders Han Xianyuan, Li Jie, Hua Pinzhang, lieutenant colonel staff officer Zhao Hanxing, battalion commanders Huang Qi, Fu Yiting, Zhou Hong, Su Tianjun, Wang Honglie, Li Qianghua and so on will lead their troops to rush out of the trenches, and repeatedly hand-to-hand combat with the red-eyed little devils, bravely rushing to kill, repeatedly advancing and retreating, and every inch of land on the position is stained red with blood.

In the morning, the regiment commander Han Xianyuan, the battalion commanders Huang Qi, Zhou Hong, and Fu Yiting were killed in the hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, and in the afternoon, the regiment commander Hua Pinzhang, and the battalion commanders Su Tianjun, Wang Honglie, and Li Qianghua also used ammunition to help, or died in battle, or committed suicide and martyrdom in despair.

December 11th, dusk.

The Japanese army, which had been attacking frantically for a whole day, finally stopped attacking, and the exhausted soldiers lay on the blood-soaked positions, looking at the corpses of countless comrades-in-arms and devils around them, crying and laughing.

Zhu Chi and Gao Zhisong looked at the remaining team, buried their heads in conspiring and discussing together, they were not willing to be defeated like this, they were still fantasizing about counterattacking.

At the same time, Lu Yuan, under the leadership of Jiao Dapeng, wore a set of military uniforms of the 36th Army and walked into the defense area of Rujiangmen.

At the same time, on the position of Purple Mountain, the Japanese army and the ** defenders also entered a short calm after a whole day of bloody fighting.
