Chapter 576: Desperate Resistance
The scarred brothers of the independent division who were still resisting on the city wall saw the brothers of the military police regiment rushing to reinforce them, and their morale was boosted, Commander Xiao did not dare to tell these brothers the news that Division Commander Xu had pulled out a gun and committed suicide, for fear of affecting their morale, at this time, Division Commander Xu insisted on not getting out of the line of fire, and committing suicide by drinking bullets was actually similar to dying in battle, his legs were blown off by cannonballs, and he completely lost his ability to move, what is the difference between pulling out a gun and committing suicide and waiting for the devil to fly by the city wall to kill himself? They are all heroes who stand up to the sky!
In fact, the few cronies under Commander Xu didn't need Commander Xiao to hide it, and they probably could guess this matter, at this moment, for them, dying in battle is the best way to end their lives, and this is the best destination for a soldier!
Thousands of guns were fired on the city wall, and bullets rained down on the devils who rushed up under the city tower, and a cannon platoon brought by Commander Xiao didn't have time to set up a mortar on the ground, so he directly held the mortar barrel with his hand, and let a brother next to him stuff in the shell.
It was such an action, the cannonballs sent by the Chinese soldiers on the city wall were a few seconds faster than the poison gas shells fired by the devil artillery, and only a "dong dong" sound was heard, and dozens of shells flew over the battlements of the city wall with a roar, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air, and pounced on the devil artillery behind the devil infantry who were rushing over!
"Boom" An explosion sounded, and the shells fell accurately into the middle of the devil mortars, and the devil artillery wearing gas masks and preparing to release poison gas was blown apart at that time, and several of the poison gas bombs were blown apart, and streams of colorful pungent smoke spread in all directions.
At this time, God also did the Chinese soldiers a great favor, a violent northwest whistling blew, the devils attacked from the southeast towards the Zhonghua Gate, the northwest wind blew up, those colorful pungent poisonous gases just blew towards the devil infantry who rushed up, at that time there was a group of devil infantry without gas masks foaming at the mouth and struggling and convulsing in the dead and wounded, so frightened that the captain of the devil wing hurriedly ordered his health soldiers to come to the rescue, and at the same time sharply ordered the artillery to stop firing and immediately retreat!
The devil's trick of casting poison gas was broken by Commander Xiao, and the captain of the devil's wing naturally refused to give up, Gu Shoufu had already explained to him that if he still couldn't take the Zhonghua Gate city wall this time, then he would have to commit suicide to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor.
Anyway, it's a death, then it's no wonder the lives of those imperial soldiers under his command, the captain of the devil wing howled and ordered, all the infantry of the wing participated in the attack and charge, rushed up to the Zhonghua Gate wall from all directions, desperately calling the devil air force planes behind, asking them to throw bombs on the heads of the resisting Chinese soldiers.
A large number of devil planes roared in, and huge bombs were thrown down, and exploded all over the city wall, this time the devils threw down not only the kind of high-explosive anti-personnel bombs, but also the incendiary bombs that could ignite the raging fire immediately when they exploded.
But these Chinese soldiers who were burned by the fire before they died fiercely pounced on the devil soldiers who climbed up from the ladder, tried to hug them and fell down together, the devil soldiers who climbed up couldn't bear this style of play, and ignored the strafing of the machine guns of the devil supervision team behind them, they shouted one after another and retreated.
After the angry and corrupt devil wing captain hacked to death a few of the retreating devil soldiers with his own hands with an Oriental knife, he howled and ordered his subordinates to rush towards the city wall again, the Chinese army on the city wall resisted desperately, and the bullets in the weapon ran out, so they pierced it with a bayonet, and poured it down on the devil who climbed up with boiling dung water, and for a time the miserable howl of the devil soldiers resounded all over the city, and the dark clouds covered the sky over the city wall, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the fight was extremely tragic.
Two consecutive onslaughts were beaten down by the brothers of the gendarmerie regiment on the city wall, the brothers of the independent division were almost killed, and the last few cronies of the commander of the division were seriously wounded, and they also ended their lives with a pistol to their heads, for them, their strength was exhausted, their bodies were useless, rather than being humiliated by the devil captives who rushed up, it was better to take advantage of the moment when they could still pull the trigger, and end their lives with one shot, who can not die? If you want to die, you have to die a heroic and happy death!
The brothers of the military police regiment under Commander Xiao also suffered heavy casualties, and after the more than 400 brothers brought from the Yuhuatai position repelled the two onslaughts of the devils, there were less than 200 left, and the loss was nearly sixty percent, and the ammunition was consumed very quickly, there were not many shells, and the machine gun bullets were almost exhausted.
Commander Xiao understands that he can only resist a fierce attack of the devils at most now, although the losses of the devils on the opposite side are not small, but the devils are outnumbered after all, and there are many devil reinforcements coming from outside the city to this side, they have at least two divisions in front of Zhonghua Gate and Yuhuatai to attack, and now there is only one reinforced company on his side, which can support until the evening and maybe another day.
The battle situation on this side of Yuhuatai is not much better, almost all the peripheral positions under Commander Hu are occupied by devils, Commander Hu counted the remaining brothers, and found that there is only one battalion of brothers, he felt that his last moment was coming, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to his wife, after writing, called a cronie guard, and said to him: "Xiao Li, you take this letter to the north of the city to find Chief Han, set off immediately, Chief Han understands everything after seeing this letter!" ”
Of course, the cronie understood the purpose of Master Hu's asking him to do this, and knew that the only hope that could save the master's seat now was on Han Fei, so he didn't say a word, took the letter, rushed out of the command post, found a side three-wheeled motorcycle, and headed towards the north of the city at a gallop.
Or the motorcycle is fast, the Hu Division's cronies ran wildly, picking up the streets where no one passed, and arrived near the Jinling Women's University half an hour later, he jumped off the motorcycle and found a few brothers of the Tax Police Corps who were patrolling nearby, and the brothers of the Tax Police Corps heard that it was Yuhuatai that came over, so they hurriedly reported to Chen Wan'er here at the Women's University, Chen Wan'er immediately arranged for his subordinates to prepare the boat, and immediately sent the Hu Division's cronies to Baguazhou, although at this moment the Baguazhou River was also gunshots, and the fight was fierce.
