Another guard was clever, opened the sewer cover, and escaped this catastrophe, and when he crawled out, he found that the commander of the major general had been beaten into a hornet's nest, and he didn't have time to bury them, so he took off his military uniform and ran desperately towards the Jiangbei wharf!

After Commander Xu took over the command of Zhonghua Gate, he immediately called Commander Hu on the other side of Yuhuatai, and Commander Hu heard that Lao Xu had taken over the defense of Zhonghua Gate, and understood that this old Xu had made up his mind to die and planned to live and die with Zhonghua Gate, and deeply admired: "If there are a few more people like Commander Xu in our army, why will the defense of Nanjing be like this?" It is estimated that the battle of Songhu will not be that virtuous, everyone, the country supports us, now is the time for us to pay for the country, if you don't want to fight again, put down your weapons and take off your military uniform and escape, Hu will never blame, after all, you are also doing your best, and you are willing to follow Hu to continue to hold on, go to a battalion in Zhonghuamen! Our reinforcements are urgently needed there! ”

Division Commander Hu's roar, the red-eyed officers and soldiers under his hands have expressed their willingness to live and die with the division, this life-and-death juncture, the commander's will is extremely important, do you think that even the division commander is still fighting at the forefront, you dare to run down as a deserter as a small soldier? I can't afford to lose that man! Even if he was lucky enough to pick up a small life, he must have been scolded to death by other brothers who poked his backbone later!

Hundreds of brothers immediately assembled, these brothers understood that the Zhonghua Gate side would be conquered by the little devils at any time, and this time they would definitely die if they went to the Zhonghua Gate, and the chance of surviving and escaping from Nanjing City was very small, but it was these Chinese soldiers, knowing that the front was the place of death, and they still rushed forward under the leadership of the commander without hesitation, because they understood that if they did not sacrifice, hundreds of thousands of Nanjing civilians behind them would be killed by devils, what did the country raise them for? Isn't it at this time that we are defending our families and defending our country?

Division Commander Hu took out the best weapons at hand and gave them to these brothers, prepared enough ammunition, and said to them at the assembly place: "Brothers, don't say anything, you go first, and Hu will come later!" ”

Master Hu said this most clearly, he already understood that under the frontal onslaught of Gu Shoufu's devils, the Yuhuatai position would definitely not be able to hold, and when the time came, the commander here in Yuhuatai would only leave him with two ways, and it would definitely be impossible to disarm and surrender to the devils, either live and die with the Yuhuatai position, or lose the position and run to the dock in the city!

Escaping from the battle is a shameful thing for Master Hu than surrendering, he will never do this, then neither surrender nor escape, there is only one way left to live and die with the position, since Lao Xu can do it, why can't I do it?

After sending away the brothers who had gone to reinforce the Zhonghuamen position, Division Commander Hu immediately ordered his subordinate signal soldiers to send a desperate telegram to the chairman of the committee in Wuhan, in which Division Commander Hu was determined to defend the Yuhuatai position to the death and live and die with the position.

Strange to say, it would have taken at least half a day to receive a reply to this telegram sent to the chairman, but this time I received a reply from the chairman in less than a few hours, and the telegram was impressively signed by the chairman.

In the telegram, the chairman ordered Division Commander Hu to immediately abandon Nanjing City and evacuate towards Jiangbei, praised the tenacious fighting spirit of the **** troops defending the city, and asked Division Commander Hu if he wanted a plane to answer?

Division Commander Hu immediately called back, thanking the chairman for his care, but he believed that the soldiers should live and die with the national capital, and Yuhuatai and Zhonghua Gate are the gateways of Nanjing, and they must be guarded, otherwise they will be sorry for the hundreds of thousands of fathers and villagers in Nanjing!

After sending this telegram, Division Commander Hu ordered the signal soldiers to smash the radio, pick up arms and rise towards the forward position of Yuhuatai, he was determined to die at the moment, the chairman asked him to evacuate immediately, he felt that it was difficult to obey his fate, he did not want to escape at this time, and he would be scolded by the military and civilians of the whole country for the rest of his life!

This move of Master Hu inspired the **** brothers who resisted the attack of Gu Shoufu on the Yuhuatai position, and for a while, the morale of the front-line brothers soared, and three times five divided by two, Gu Shoufu's devil's attack was beaten down again, a large number of devil corpses were lying in front of the position, and the devil officer who retreated was slapped by the angry Gu Shoufu again and again, and scolded fiercely: "Baga! Eater! The whole wing attacked for two or three days, but it could not take the positions of the Chinese Army that had been bombed by air planes, and what was the face of the infantry of the imperial army? ”

The captain of the ghost wing who was slapped in the face had to nod and said: "Yes, the division commander has learned the right lesson, he is incompetent, it is really that the resistance of the Zhina army here is too stubborn, completely beyond our previous imagination, and the lowly request to use poison gas bombs to attack, will definitely be able to take the Yuhuatai and Zhonghuamen positions!" ”

"Okay, as you wish, if you can't take the position again this time, then you don't have to come back, and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor by disembowelment on the position!" Gu Shoufu gritted his teeth and said, this old devil is going to use poison gas bombs to deal with the Chinese soldiers guarding the position.

After receiving the order, a large number of devil artillery put on gas masks with long pig noses, and rushed to the forward position with mortars on their backs. ”

Division Commander Xu was already a little confused at this moment due to excessive blood loss, and when he heard Commander Xiao's shout, he was excited, and struggled to get up, several health soldiers under Commander Xiao immediately came over, helped him up, and wanted to be carried down on a stretcher for treatment, but was stopped by Commander Xu, and shouted: "Don't carry me down, I won't survive if I carry it down, Commander Xiao, I'm relieved that you are here, and the Zhonghuamen position is all handed over to you!" ”

After Master Xu finished speaking, he suddenly raised the Browning pistol in his hand and shot himself in the head, this action was quite fast, the nearby health soldiers and Commander Xiao couldn't react at all, the gun rang out, and Division Commander Xu fell in a pool of blood.

Commander Xiao walked up to Senior Commander Xu, closed his still round eyes with his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Master Xu, don't worry, Xiao will never let the devils attack casually, even if they do, they have to step on our corpses to come in!" ”

Commander Xiao didn't have time to take off his hat and pay silent condolences to Commander Xu, so they hurriedly threw themselves into the attack to deal with the devils, the situation was critical, there was no time to grieve at this time, only to kill those devils who were going to cast poison gas first!
