Chai Yunsheng, who suffered a big loss before Tongguan, began to try his best to calm down.

Tongguan has been fully prepared for defense, and the enemy's determination to defend is also greatly beyond his imagination, Chai Yunsheng is now facing how to reverse this passive situation as soon as possible.

A new attack was launched the next day after the crushing defeat of the 1st Division's death squads.

An entire brigade of men and horses was thrown to the front line by Chai Yunsheng. And in contrast to this, Sun Lianzhong also added two companies of defense to Zhang Zizhong!

The smoke of gunpowder obscured the moon, and the pungent smell of gunpowder constantly stimulated people's nerves.

The soldiers, who had been aroused by the war with all their fanatical nerves, were constantly charging and counter-charging, and all of them had lost themselves and forgotten the preciousness of their lives.

In their eyes, there are only two kinds of people at this moment:

Companions, enemies!

What's the point of this battle? They don't even think about it. Can Tongguan hold on, or attack? They don't even think about it.

The only thing they care about is when they will die on this battlefield.

War can turn a cowardly man into the bravest warrior in an instant, and the most sane man into a madman in an instant!

This is the battlefield, the most real battlefield!

There is no sympathy, no mercy, no right or wrong, only the struggle of blood and fire, the torment of life and soul.

Perhaps when the fighting stops, these opponents who once fought each other will lie shoulder to shoulder on the ground, snorting and falling asleep, forgetting that not long ago they had fought for their lives!

"Plop, plop, puff—"

A long line of bullets erupted, and a charging soldier shook his body one by one, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

His entire body was beaten into a honeycomb, and a second ago, he was a living person.

The corpses in one place are disgusting, and the blood in the air is numb.

The first division's desperate charge did have a certain effect. On several occasions they all rushed to the position, but they did not gain a firm foothold, and they were immediately beaten back by the reserves organized by Zhang Zizhong.

The battlefield has reached a stalemate.

From dawn to dark, countless charges took place on this battlefield. When the sun finally went down no longer to see all this, there was a brief calm on the battlefield that had been noisy for a day.

The soldiers on both sides of the attack and defense were given a chance to breathe, and they fell to the ground and soon fell asleep.

Not afraid of the other party's sneak attack, not afraid of the other party's night battle, in such a battlefield, sometimes death or capture has become the best and best relief.

What a cursed war!

The soldiers hoped that the night would never end, that the day would never come. But it's just a beautiful dream.

When the first rays of clear sunlight cast onto the earth, the terrible nightmare finally came again!

The soldiers hastily ate breakfast, and then numbly raised their guns and numbly set up the offensive formation. God knows how many people will be left when this charge is over.

The only way the Nightmare can end is to end this damn war!

The soldiers of the 1st Division of a squad quietly approached the forward position, and they thought that they had not been discovered, and in the midst of euphoria, when they looked up, suddenly a row of grenades like locusts were thrown at them.

There was a "boom" explosion, and all the soldiers in this squad fell in the explosion, and the two soldiers who were lucky not to die kept rolling and wailing in a pool of blood.

A few soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army jumped out of the position, pulling the two enemies back into their positions!

The medical officer quickly rushed over, examined their wounds, and quickly bandaged them, not forgetting to comfort them as he bandaged them:

"Don't be afraid, you can't die, the injury is not serious!"

The wounded soldier settled down and looked around, and it was all enemies, but he calmed down.

Anyway, I'm safe for the time being

Zhang Zizhong's casualties were also increasing, and the attack of the First Division had entered a state of completely unreasonable madness. They rushed up like a tide, down like a tide, and then up like a tide.

Although the defender is a little easier than the attacker, this is not absolute. Wars always kill people, and the only difference is who dies more.

War is one of the most unreasonable things in the world, blood and death are secondary, and the important thing is that the brave may not be able to win!

The officers and men of the 1st Division fought very fiercely, and they were not inferior to the Northern Expeditionary Army in terms of combat determination and will, but this could not help them achieve the desired victory.

Fortunately, Liu Zhenhua's new reinforcements arrived on the battlefield on the third day, a whole brigade of troops!

Liu Zhenhua knows too well the impact of Tongguan on himself, and would rather fight all the troops at the foot of Tongguan, and must fight a bloody way no matter what!

Tongguan is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people in Liu Zhenhua Town's Song Army!

With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation in Tongguan began to change somewhat.

A regiment of the Northern Expeditionary Army will face a frantic attack by division and brigade of the Zhensong Army, several times its own strength!

Zhang Zizhong began to feel strong pressure. The attack of the Zhensong army was completely brutal and unreasonable. They launched wave after wave of attacks on the positions with crowd tactics.

For a whole day, although the first battalion killed countless enemies, several positions were broken through, and Zhang Zizhong was forced to shrink all his forces to the core position, completely blocking the enemy's attack.

On the third day, it finally ended in a tragic offensive and defensive battle.

Zhang Zizhong's first battalion, under the attack of several times superior forces here, held out for three days, and he and his first battalion completed their own tasks!

At night, Sun Lianzhong ordered the 1st Battalion to retreat to Tongguan. There is no need to continue to hold on to the frontier of Tongguan!

When the darkness completely dispersed, Chai Yunsheng suddenly found that the opposite position was empty.

Facing the position that finally succeeded after attacking for three whole days, Chai Yunsheng did not feel happy at all, but shook his head with a wry smile.

After three full days of fighting, countless casualties, he finally got the forward position, and the next step was to face Tongguan, which was well defended and known as the iron wall.

How many more people will die? Chai Yunsheng couldn't answer himself.

All combat is mechanical and numb. Human life is worse than a grasshopper here.

Tongguan in the war, under the fighting cries of soldiers on both sides, stood still, she held her broad chest, and greeted the baptism of war again and again.

Sun Lianzhong and Zhang Zizhong both appeared on the city wall, personally commanding the soldiers to defend this place to the death, and personally loudly encouraging the soldiers to fight to the end.

At critical moments, they will desperately raise their machine guns and, like the most ordinary soldiers, join the defense of Tongguan.

The iron-beaten Tongguan, the iron-beaten 82nd regiment!

The storm could not shake Sun Lianzhong's determination to hold on to Tongguan, and no matter how many enemies there were, Sun Lianzhong's confidence could not be shaken! Here, he is an invincible god!

One day, two days, three days

While the Northern Expeditionary Army was victorious in the Shaanxi battlefield, Tongguan was still in the hands of the 82nd Regiment of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Liu Zhenhua urged Chai Yunsheng over and over again, but Chai Yunsheng was helpless.

By now, he had a faint feeling that even if he threw all the soldiers here, he wouldn't be able to recapture Tongguan!

On June 27, Wang Mingzhang and Bai Chongxi commanded two groups of men and horses to successfully defeat Chen Shufan's main force on the frontal battlefield, and even went down to Zhen'an and Zhashui, and the troops pointed directly at Xi'an.

The situation in Shaanxi is precarious!

And in Sanyuan, encouraged by the great victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Thirty-Seven also began to counterattack one after another. The situation of the Zhen Song army has also become bad.

Under such circumstances, Liu Zhenhua saw the wind and steered the rudder, and once again held peace talks with the Northern Expeditionary Army, and secretly ordered Chai Yunsheng to make a final attack on Tongguan.

However, the Northern Expeditionary Army in Tongguan has already played out its morale and confidence, and Tongguan is indestructible in their eyes, just cast of copper and iron!

Chai Yunsheng's last effort still ended in failure.

From June 21 to June 28, Chai Yunsheng attacked Tongguan for eight consecutive days with the strength of one division and one brigade, but he found nothing but to seize all the peripheral positions in Tongguan!

In Tongguan, Sun Lianzhong, who only had only one regiment and part of the soldiers of the Zhensong army anyway, withstood the repeated attacks of the Zhensong army with the full cooperation of Zhang Zizhong.

Chai Yunsheng would never have thought that Tongguan would become a nightmare that he couldn't get rid of in his life, and Tongguan would actually cut off the livelihood of tens of thousands of Zhensong troops.

Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong, and Chai Yunsheng swore that they would never forget the names of these two people in their lives!

When the last attack failed, Chai Yunsheng desperately let the whole army withdraw from the positions that had been occupied before, he got the news that Liu Zhenhua was negotiating with the Northern Expeditionary Army, since the negotiations failed, then simply make some gestures, so that after the negotiation was successful, the Zhensong Army could be better.

The battle of Tongguan created the prestige of two people:

Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong!

Their names will be forever engraved in the history of Tongguan and the history of the Northern Expeditionary Army! These two officers, who had only recently joined the Northern Expeditionary Army, became famous in World War I.

They were standing on the wall of Tongguan at the moment, calmly looking at the Zhensong army outside the city that was rapidly retreating, but there was not much excitement on their faces.

Sun Lianzhong looked at it for a while, then turned his head and his eyes fell on the battle flag that had been flying in the flames of war for eight days. The battle flag hunted and flew to witness the history created by Tongguan in the eight days, and the flag was embroidered with two big characters:

Northern expedition!

Northern expedition!
