The night of winter always comes so early, the time is not yet seven o'clock in the evening, the sky is already very dark, and the figures are blurry twenty meters away.

With the hazy night, a patchwork of suspicious figures was quietly approaching the station of Yang Longfei's regiment...... Yes, the 1st Brigade of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army, which was ordered to infiltrate the hinterland of Nanjing tonight to carry out the strategy of "flowering in the center", with a total of 1,100 men, has all touched 50 meters outside the fortifications of the Chinese defenders.

Just as the commander-in-chief, Ito Zenmitsu Nakasa, quietly poked his head out from behind the cover in front of him, suddenly a dazzling white pillar of fish belly flashed in front of his eyes like a ghost. As a professional soldier for more than ten years, Ito Yoshimitsu had an unusually sharp reaction speed, and the moment the pillar of light flashed in front of his eyes, his head was buried behind the bunker again. When he stuck his head out again, it was clear that the pillar of light had come from a flashlight held by a Chinese sentry on the other side.

I saw that the sentry was casually playing with the flickering flashlight in his hand, aiming the flashlight at the hazy night sky for a while, sweeping the flashlight towards the ground in front of him and the surrounding houses, and finally he was so bored that he dangled the flashlight at his face...... In fact, he is not idle, on the contrary, this sentry's physical strength and spirit have reached his limit, after a day of fighting, he also wants to be able to squint before dawn like most of his comrades, even if it is to take a nap.

But there is no way, since he has been chosen to be the sentry tonight, then he must unconditionally carry out tonight's work. Although he was reluctant to accept it, after a long period of overloaded body, the sentry was obviously a little weak in energy, even if he pointed the light of the flashlight at his face, he was just trying to find a way to clear his head, he was afraid that he would fall if he couldn't hold it back......

The author has heard the saying that once people's bodies and spirits are on the verge of physical and mental limits, then they will always force themselves to gradually go to extremes after a period of cranky thinking...... This sentry's state of mind was like this at this time, his body and mind were extremely tired, and he only felt that there were thousands of insects crawling in his brain, eating his brain marrow, and he felt that his head was about to explode...... Fuck, it's going to be a death sooner or later anyway, and instead of standing here all night and dying of exhaustion, it's better to fight with the little devils. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and finally slapped himself in the face and slapped him a few loud times, he really couldn't figure out that there would be such a thing in this world that made people "can't survive, can't die"!

At the same time as he was "violent" to himself, he didn't know that a Japanese soldier behind him with a sharp blade and light feet had quietly touched his feet. After touching your own feet, to be exact.

This Japanese spearhead shot quickly and ferociously, and with two "clicks, clicks", he broke the hamstrings of the sentry in front of him, and the sentry fell to the ground in response. Before he could scream, the Japanese sentry then stabbed him directly into the opponent's neck, killing him instantly.

Ito Nakasa, who was lurking on the side, witnessed the whole process of his subordinates hunting the Chinese sentry, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and roared: "Rush!" ”

When the officers and soldiers of the first brigade of the Japanese army jumped out of the fortifications and prepared to continue to infiltrate the city, they only heard the sound of a "horn", and a sudden gunfire quickly broke the dead silence around them...... At the same time as the gunshots rang out, a Japanese soldier was shot in the chest and killed on the spot, causing a lot of commotion in an instant after the night was as peaceful as usual.

While Ito Zenmitsu Nakasa ordered his troops to hide on the spot, he did not forget to recall the series of events that took place before the battle began. For this reason, he was very puzzled, he thought that he had made a seamless plan, but there were still mistakes in the process of implementation, what went wrong? Ito Nakasa was puzzled.

It turned out that the turning point of this battle was behind the open space where the martyred sentry was standing guard just now——— in a watchtower about thirty meters away from him, and there was actually a hidden sentry.

This secret whistle was personally arranged by Yang Longfei, the purpose of which is to have one more pair of eyes and more safety. Don't look at the sentry's job is just to patrol and stand guard, his one reaction in an emergency can save many lives! This is still the case with the open whistles, let alone the ones that are even more hidden.

The duty of the sentry is to observe whether there is an enemy situation around him, and the sentry is a beautiful difference in comparison, one, he does not have to expose himself like the sentry, so that he is in danger at any time, and if he is not careful, he may die. Second, the bright sentry needs to be responsible for the vigilance in the four directions, while the dark sentry does not have to be responsible for anywhere, just stare at the bright sentry wholeheartedly. Yang Longfei's intention was very clear, once the sentinel in charge of the perimeter was killed by the enemy before it could react, the outpost could immediately fire a warning gun and inform the main force that was resting to concentrate its forces as quickly as possible to launch a defense or counterattack.

Sure enough, after hearing the gunshots, the national army suddenly woke up from its sleep and threw itself into the counterattack almost in a second. Disturbing this group of Chinese defenders meant that the original battle plan was completely bankrupt, and the entire Japanese army of the 1st Brigade could be said to have failed. But what's the solution? There is an old Chinese saying that "there is no turning back arrow when you open the bow", so let's fight hard! What else?

While ordering all the officers and men of the brigade to find cover and start defense, Ito Zenmitsu Nakasa led the artillery to a nearby steep slope and used binoculars to conduct a rough survey of the defensive deployment of the Chinese defenders. The steep slope was less than fifty meters away from the Chinese defenders' first-line fortifications, and it was almost impossible to drop a bomb vertically at such a close firing distance. In this case, mortars will not only fail to work, but may also harm themselves. Coincidentally, Ito Nakasa was not very interested in the first-line defense of the Chinese defenders, and it seemed to him that the big fish must be concentrated in the area of the command post in the back. Ito believed that as long as he could eat the enemy's command post in one fell swoop and completely annihilate the enemy commander, the Chinese defenders in front of him would inevitably be leaderless and invincible. As long as such a combat effect can be achieved, he will not lose face too much when he looks back and sees the head of the Yoshizumi Division, after all, he can be regarded as eating the enemy that the head of the Jizhu Division has been trying to solve but has no good solution.

Through a telescope survey, Ito Nakasa quickly zeroed in on a few lighted houses, and his location in the heart of the Chinese defenders' fortifications made it clear at a glance that it was a convenient choice for a forward command post. Ito Nakasa's lips immediately curved into a crescent moon, and he waved his big hand: "Target, the heart of the enemy, three connected houses, ready to shoot!" ”

Under the command of Ito Yoshimitsu, the first round of Japanese artillery fire began, and after the thunderous artillery group hit the ground, it almost leveled the three houses that were connected to each other, and the bricks, adobes, and tiles that were swept up into the sky by the air waves fell from the sky with a "bang", as if a rain of stones, and the ruins that had been built up seemed to be piled up into a small mountain. This artillery battle was indeed wonderful, and the target was indeed the command post of the Chinese defenders, but it was a fly in the ointment, and from the moment the battle began, there was no one in these three houses. After a long time of empty joy, but Ito Nakasa himself didn't know it, at this time he thought that he had established a lot of feats, and was still immersed in the joy of "victory......

Ito Nakasa once again witnessed this "wonderful battle" through the binoculars, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up from the spot. But reason still controlled his excitement, after all, he was on a commanding height without shelter, and once he exposed himself, he could be killed by the enemy's head-on bullets, and Ito Nakasa, who had long been familiar with the art of war, would not take the initiative to touch this mold.

But what he never expected was that although he didn't take the initiative to find the mold, the mold head found the door by himself. The so-called "success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He", Ito Nakasa was able to observe and carry out the bombardment of the command post of the enemy defenders by virtue of this commanding height under his feet, but what he did not expect was that it was precisely because of this steep slope that was less than 50 meters away from the enemy defenders that he inadvertently included himself and the artillery behind him in the firing range of the Chinese defenders, and he did not shy away from saying that this attack distance was close to the situation of "easy reach".

When the enemy's artillery opened fire at the opposite commanding height, Yang Longfei figured out the enemy's firepower deployment. These Japanese stupid pigs would have arranged the artillery on that steep slope with no shelter? It stands to reason that this kind of commanding height is the most suitable for setting up a few light machine guns to suppress the corresponding fire on the ground, on the contrary, the same place will be changed to artillery, and it will suffer a big loss. Although your little devil's mortar can hit the forward command post of Lao Tzu, can you eat my first-line fortifications? An attack distance of only forty or fifty meters, there is no need to charge, and a few * are enough for your dog-day devil to drink a pot. Could it be that you devil still wants to put bayonets on the cannons? .

Yang Longfei was furious, and while raising his gun to counterattack, he almost shouted at the throat: "Xie Dacheng, bring a few people over to Lao Tzu, and go and kill the devil on the commanding heights on the opposite side to Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Xie Dacheng, the commander of the first battalion, snatched a * from another soldier with a gun in one hand and another hand, and rushed towards the opposite commanding height with two soldiers with * on his body...... These two soldiers who were almost armed were by no means idle, they were the best bombardiers in the whole regiment, and compared to those top soldiers who were masters in the entire 25th regiment in terms of marksmanship alone, excellent bombardiers were extremely rare and precious. Yang Longfei has always been very precious to them, except for emergencies, basically does not let them go to the front-line battlefield. Therefore, every time these two bombarders make a shot, it can be called "no hit, no hit"!

Facts have proved that these two bombardiers, who are usually accustomed to "pampering and pampering", are by no means ambiguous at critical moments, and their solid bombing skills have reached the realm of superbness. After the first battalion commander Xie Dacheng threw it smoothly, the two of them also threw out the * that had been pulled in their hands one after another, and one of them was even more extraordinary, and the * he threw out accurately smashed into the bridge of Ito Zenmitsu's nose and the left cheek. Ito Nakasa let out a painful wail and fell to the ground on his back, feeling only that the bridge of his nose felt as if it had been violently hit by a high-speed train, and he was no longer conscious. He was right, and in less than three seconds, the head-on * caused a comminuted fracture of the bridge of Ito's nose. The pain was still so severe that he almost pouted in the pain that he almost ......pouted Before he could recover from the boundless pain, the shrapnel that seemed to have made history exploded one after another, and the shrapnel splashed after the explosion, as well as the wave of air that tore Ito Nakasa and others to pieces, and the only five remaining mortars were also blown to pieces by the shells, and the gun carriage and the barrel mixed with the fragments of the human body that splashed into the air fell to the ground together, like a rain of flesh from the Iron Age......

Captain Ito was killed, the artillery squad was completely annihilated, and all the officers and men of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was engaged in a head-on confrontation with the Chinese defenders for a time, could only go their own way, and their positions were instantly chaotic. This is the case in battle, if a commander is killed, the will to fight will disappear and become a rabble with no tactics or rules, and only knows how to fight indiscriminately.

There is no doubt that the balance of the war instantly showed a one-sided posture, completely in favor of the Guanghuamen defenders under the command of Yang Longfei and others, and the battle did not show victory or defeat, but it was already clear, and the first brigade of the Japanese army, which had lost its commander, had to give up the offensive mission, and the rear team was changed to the front team and withdrew from the existing positions one after another, and the battle, which lasted less than an hour, finally drew a relatively successful end.

Since the first shot was fired in the Battle of Guanghuamen on December 7, the battle has lasted for three days and three nights. You must know that in all the battles that took place during these three days and three nights, some of the examples of battles that showed our slight superiority can only be described as "crushing victories", and to put it more vividly, "1,000 enemies were killed, and 800 losses were inflicted." In the face of such a strong Japanese army, Yang Longfei, who was famous in the first battle of Luodian, could not compete with it in a short period of time, whether it was in terms of weapons and equipment, individual soldier quality, artillery support, or food and ammunition supply, it was not at the same level as the Japanese army. What's more, the enemy is pouring the strength of his entire division and regiment into attacking Guanghuamen, while the existing military force around him is only three regiments plus one 259th Brigade, which has lost its military commander.

After three days and three nights of hard fighting, only tonight this battle can be said to be high-spirited. Standing in front of the fortifications that the enemy was holding before retreating, looking at the direction of the enemy's escape from a distance, Yang Longfei breathed a long sigh of relief. He seemed extraordinarily relaxed, and was chased and beaten by the enemy for three days and three nights in a row, and it was not until tonight that he really let out a bad breath. After this battle, Yang Longfei's mood was much better, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Xie Dacheng, the commander of the first battalion who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, walked to Yang Longfei's side and reported: "Tuanzuo, we have caught a few small fish in this battle, judging from the collar badges worn by the corpses of these devils, there is a lieutenant, a young lieutenant, two lieutenants, a second lieutenant, and a few Cao Chang and Jun Cao, we have gained something this time......

Yang Longfei nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Did you find the devil's mortars?" Is it reimbursed with the devils on the slope? ”

Xie Dacheng smiled bitterly and said, "You're right, Tuanzuo, it's really a piece of reimbursement." I have to say that Li Fugui and Zhao Guoxiang, the two stinky boys, this * is really tricky, the good guys are more powerful than bullets, and the enemy just let them serve five or six mortars directly? I took a look in the morning, hey, really, all his grandmother's fried family, and the parts may not be found. I don't have to say anything, just one person and one kick on those two little rabbit cubs' butts, what a fucking loser! ”

Yang Longfei glanced at him and said, "Don't you kid have the intention of finding fault?" People have obviously made meritorious contributions, but you still kick others? If you say so, you are still their battalion commander, which is considered joint and several responsibility, or I will kick you in the ass? ”

Xie Dacheng scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said with a silly smile: "I'm kidding you, Tuanzao, why don't you know how to tease." People don't understand me, you don't know me, do you? Am I that unreasonable? If you don't believe it, ask them, have I touched them? cough, in addition to not being angry with the devil now, we don't like to use force with our own people for a long time, let's go to learn from our regimental adjutant Zhang now, although there is no culture, but we have a good temper, and we laugh at people for three points, don't we pretend to be a big-tailed eagle? Who can't learn it......"

Yang Longfei interrupted his eloquent conversation disdainfully: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, what about pretending to be a big-tailed eagle?" It's hard to pretend to be a starling like this on your dog's day, go and go, what should you do, don't bother Lao Tzu here, get ......"

Xie Dacheng turned around and left dissatisfied, and didn't forget to say another sentence before leaving: "Tsk, tsk, why do you still say that you are in a hurry, I really don't know how to tease." ”
