Chapter 584: Fighting to the Death

Here in the Yuhuatai position, a large number of devil soldiers rushed up to the gap in the position under the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery fire and aircraft bombs, and the Chinese soldiers on the position who were scarred and bandaged on their heads desperately resisted the attack of the devils, and people were constantly hit by bullets and shells and fell, but there will still be continuous Chinese soldiers to fill in and block those temporary gaps, and the real forward and succession, layers of corpses are stacked near the position, both Chinese soldiers and little Japanese devils, this battle is too tragic!

Division Commander Hu personally came to the front line to direct the battle, a shell smashed, and the flying shrapnel drilled into his left leg, and the blood flowed profusely at that time, and the cronies next to him hurriedly shouted at the health soldiers to come up and bandage it, but another bomb whistled down, and the two health soldiers who ran over were blown up without a trace, and the bones could not be found.

Division Commander Hu's cronies and guards had to tear off their military uniforms and strangle the wound on Division Commander Hu's wounded thigh, fortunately, the shrapnel did not hurt the major arteries, otherwise Division Commander Hu's injuries would be dangerous. It's too dangerous here! ”

"What's the panic, isn't it just being bitten by shrapnel? What's the big deal? Dangerous? Isn't it dangerous to fight off the devil's brothers who are desperately trying to resist the devil in front of us? Commander Hu was not moved by the persuasion of his subordinates, and still insisted on commanding in front of the position, and his cronies had no choice but to surround him and drag him into an anti-artillery hole in the trench. It's safer than the trench positions outside.

There are constantly reports from his officers: the flank of the forward position was rushed in by devils, all the three companies defending the position were killed and martyred, and the devil infantry who had just been driven down was found on the right side, and the brothers of a battalion on the position were left with only one company left, and they urgently needed reinforcements!

These news are like a steel knife inserted into the heart of Master Hu, the brothers under him are fighting less and less, the devil's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, and the reinforcements behind will definitely not come up again, those guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death have not received the news of evacuation and have begun to run towards the north of the city.

Master Hu secretly made up his mind in his heart, when there was no one under him and the position was about to be captured by the devils, he used the explosives bag to fight with the devils. Everyone has a death, how glorious it is to die on the battlefield to defend the national capital!

The commander personally sat at the front line, and the Chinese soldiers on the position were all red-eyed, and once again repelled the onslaught of Gu Shoufu's devils, and the captain of the devil wing who had been frustrated in the attack looked at the smoke billowing out, and the corpses of his subordinates in front of the position, sat cross-legged on the ground, drew a short knife, and said to a crony next to him: "This wing has repeatedly attacked the enemy formation, and more than half of the casualties have been lost, and I have no face to say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Prince and His Excellency the division commander, please Yamada-kun wait for my short knife to enter the abdomen and cut off my head. Let me serve the Emperor with the utmost dignity. ”

The devil officer named Yamada next to him saw that the wing captain was going to cut his own stomach, and immediately dissuaded: "Wing Captain, you must not cut yourself!" Although we suffered heavy casualties, the defenders of the Chinese army were also not lightly wounded, their retreat has been cut off by us, there are no reinforcements, and there are still many troops waiting to attack behind us, let's attack again, maybe we can rush in this time! ”

The captain of the devil wing was not so determined to cut his own abdomen, but when he heard what his cronies said, he hurriedly nodded and stood up and said: "Yamada-kun, you are right, immediately organize a few death squads, I will personally lead, concentrate all the artillery fire of the wing, and then attack the enemy position!"

There was a calm on the Yuhuatai position, Master Hu knew that this was just a short calm before the fierce battle, and the unwilling little devil would definitely launch a more fierce onslaught, maybe his last moment was coming, at this time, don't think about anything, take advantage of this rare calm, or take a good rest for a while!

Let's not talk about the battle on this side of Yuhuatai, let's talk about Zhonghua Gate here, the battle here is more brutal and fierce than Yuhuatai, the shelling and bombs of the devils tore apart the strong Zhonghua Gate city wall and opened the gaps one by one, there are devils pouring up towards the gap everywhere, the more than 400 brothers of the gendarmerie battalion brought by Commander Xiao have been beaten to the point that only fifty or sixty brothers remain, and an officer under Gu Shoufu who launched an attack on the opposite side also saw the situation of the defenders, and said triumphantly to the devil officers under him: " Quickly report to the commander of Gu Shoufu's division, we only need one more onslaught here to take the Zhonghua Gate position and break into the city of Nanjing! ”

Gu Shoufu immediately called and promised this devil officer: "His Royal Highness the Prince's latest instructions, all the first imperial officers and soldiers to climb the Nanjing City Tower will be promoted to the third rank and rewarded with one hundred taels of gold!" ”

Hearing this reward, the devil officer's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together and shouted to his subordinates: "Imperial warriors, the time has come for us to be loyal to the emperor. ”

This guy swallowed up the gold hundred taels in a blink of an eye, but fortunately, the devil officers under his command were already very excited when they heard that this officer was promoted to the third level, and they were like a beast "whooping", raising their hands and shouting "board loaded"!

These actions of the devils, Commander Xiao on the tower of the broken city can see it clearly, he understands that his last moment has come, there are only fifty or sixty brothers left under his command, and it is impossible to block the onslaught of thousands of devils, unless there is a miracle at this time, but the troops near the city have already fled, who will reach out to reinforce him when he is certain to die? I guess there isn't!

Commander Xiao gathered all his brothers, asked them to pile up explosives bags and grenades together, and said to them: "Brothers, you died here with me, do you regret it?" ”

"No regrets!" The answer was clean and neat, without dragging the mud and water, and also impassioned, this is the backbone of the Chinese soldiers, although most of these warriors are scarred, and some of them can't stand up, but at this moment they are like statues made of steel, standing on the top of the Zhonghua Gate Tower that is about to be conquered!
