The inevitable attack of the 215th Wing failed again, and Shigetaro Gan put down his binoculars and looked at the Lion Gate standing in the night, speechless for a long time.

The brilliance of the flares gradually dissipated, and the Lion Gate, a mountain with an altitude of only more than 600 meters, actually became majestic in the night. "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, please punish me!" Nagatowaki, accompanied by several officers, walked up to Gan Yu, he held his command knife in both hands, bowed his head and said.

"How's the battle damage?" Gan Qi asked calmly.

"A brigade or so, Your Excellency, I'm sorry!"

Gan Qi ignored him and closed his eyes instead. There is one less brigade, counting the two more brigades lost by the 213 Wing, under the Lion Gate, the imperial army actually gave three brigades. Painful and unwilling, Gan Qi suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at Nagato: "Nagato-kun, you are not to blame for the defeat in this battle." Unexpectedly, the people of China sent reinforcements so quickly. Do you still dare to fight? ”

"Your Excellency!" Nagato became excited, he really didn't expect Gan Ji to give himself a chance. As soon as he bowed to the ground, he said in a deep voice: "Please give me another chance, if I can't reach the top of the mountain this time, I will disembowelment to thank you for your trust!" ”

"Go ahead! Little digger-kun! The little nuggets took a few steps forward and stood beside Gan Qi, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, the people of the branch seem to have reinforced the little nuggets to take a step forward, bowed their heads and said, "Your Excellency!" ”

"You personally go and command the artillery battle, and you must completely destroy the defense line of the Chinese people!"

"Hay!"

This round of Japanese artillery bombardment was more fierce and protracted than the previous rounds, and Xiao Nugget personally commanded him, and he had the 33rd Mountain Artillery Wing bombard the top of Lion Gate and the eastern half of the mountain three times before allowing the remnants of the Nagato Wing to attack.

There were still more than 1,400 remnants of the Nagato Wing, and these devils were under the demonstration of Nagatowaki Kanwei, and each of them tied a white strip of cloth to their foreheads. Nagato personally selected more than 100 people from among them, equipped them with unified German-style submachine guns and crooked machine guns, and said to them: "Success or failure is in one move, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" Soldiers of the 215th Wing, now is the time for you to realize the value of life. Glorious deaths in battle make us heroic souls in the temple to bless our descendants; Or a humiliating retreat, becoming a lonely ghost in a foreign land, and disgraced his own family! It's time for us to make a choice! For the emperor! For the Empire! Soldiers, die! ”

"Death, death!"

The continuous shelling of the Japanese army has turned the top of the Lion Gate into a gravel field. The bodies of many martyrs who had not had time to collect were blown to pieces, and their flesh and blood, their iron bones were mixed with the rubble, and they were never separated from each other again. They have truly fulfilled their promise to defend Xuanyuan with my blood and my body.

The lack of bunkers and the inability to dig anti-artillery holes made the cadets guarding the top of the mountain suffer heavy casualties under the shelling, Ge Zhengshu was three regiments when they went up, and when the shelling was over, they only had two regiments left, including about one regiment of light and serious wounded.

The Lion Gate offensive and defensive battle has become a veritable meat grinder, and both sides have paid the price of more than 3,000 casualties here.

This wave of Japanese attacks was particularly sharp, if the previous devils would also feel timid in the face of hundreds of dense firepower intertwined with the Qing style, now, under the leadership of Nagato, the remnants of the 215th Wing did not blink an eyelid - the devils finally burst into flames.

Shoot, Assassinate! The soldiers on both sides rolled together, and suddenly there was a "boom", and a cloud of fireworks exploded, and several soldiers on both sides were affected, and all of them were lifted away by the air......

At the foot of the mountain, Gan Shigetaro suddenly called out loudly to Ken Sato, the co-captain of the 214th Wing: "Sato, immediately, send a brigade to follow!" ”

"Hay!" Sato answered, and with a wave of his hand, one of his subordinates, Nakasa named Kiichiro Murayama, immediately rushed to the mountain with his team.

Halfway up the mountain on the east side, Feng Lanshan also saw that something was wrong, and he directly beckoned: "Brothers!" Follow me! He said to Mao Xiangnan, the brigade commander of the Sixth Brigade: "You are responsible here!" "Then, with one regiment each of the 4th and 6th brigades replenished to the mountainside, they rushed up the mountain.

It's a complete scuffle. The two sides successively filled in 1,000 and 2,000 men respectively, and a scuffle broke out on the top of the Lion Gate Mountain, which was less than 2,000 meters square, and the sound of gunshots, shouts, explosions, and howls resounded on the top of the mountain, making the air on the top of the mountain blazing.

And when the officers and soldiers of the attacking and defending sides on the top of the mountain were fighting to the death, the small nugget received a telegram from Yoshimoto Sadaji, chief of staff of the 11th Army. He reported the contents of the message to Gan Can, who didn't take it too seriously, thought about it for a while, and sent the 213th Wing, which was already less than a brigade, to Gao'an.

At nearly ten o'clock, the melee at the top of Lion Gate finally decided the winner. Under the personal command of Feng Lanshan, the Xuebing Army finally crushed this attack of the enemy after paying two regiments of casualties. When Murayama Qiaoichiro was killed in battle, and the remnants of the Murayama Brigade began to be driven down the mountain, Gan Yu personally commanded and let Yoshida's team launch an indiscriminate artillery bombardment.

The cannon sounded, and the remnants of the Murayama Brigade could no longer care about the students who were chasing behind them, and fled down the mountain even with a roll. After Feng Lanshan weighed it, he gave up continuing the pursuit, but ordered to leave a company to guard the top of the mountain to monitor the Japanese army, and the others immediately withdrew halfway up the mountain.

This big scuffle ended in the defeat of the Japanese army. This battle also exhausted the morale of the Japanese army, and when the surviving more than 200 devils appeared in front of Gan Feng in an inhuman state, the old devils were finally convinced, decided to postpone the attack, and began to reorganize the troops on the spot.

In addition to the 213th, 214th, and 215th infantry wings, the 33rd Division also has one cavalry, artillery, engineer, light and heavy soldier in the wing, and one signal team, one health team, and one weapons service team in the brigade. There were also the 1st and 2nd field hospitals and a sick horse factory.

The three infantry wings were the absolute main force of the division, and now that the main force was exhausted, he had to find a way to select soldiers from other auxiliary branches to fill the front line. He believes that otherwise, even if he can take the Lion Gate, he will definitely not be able to attack Nanchang.

The Japanese army suspended the attack, and the student soldiers on the top of Lion Gate finally breathed a sigh of relief. The medical company and the cooking team were busy, and when some young people in the medical company went up to the top of the mountain and saw the tragic scene on the top of the mountain, many people's faces instantly turned pale and immediately vomited.

The scene at the top of Lion Gate Mountain at this time is not far from being described as hell on earth.

Those who were shot and fell to the ground died a good death, and there are very few such people - the vast majority of cadets and devils, their bodies are mutilated, and the worst is only a broken head.

The cruelty of the war, on the Lion Gate, is finally fully highlighted.

(Old poison: I'm trying to post another chapter tonight, but it's estimated that it won't be until about one o'clock in the morning)
