Chapter 168: Intense

The 306th Regiment came with reinforcements, and in less than an hour, all the Japanese troops who poured into the city were annihilated.

The battle at Zhonghua Gate ended briefly, but bad news came, a city wall between Zhonghua Gate and Shuixi Gate was blown open by the Japanese, and the Japanese devils who were besieging the city were using rope ladders to climb up.

When Qiu Weida received the news, he didn't care about meeting Xia Yuan, and immediately ordered the commander of the third battalion to gather 100 elite soldiers to form a death squad, with a time limit of one hour, to raid the Japanese army besieging the city and hold the city wall that was blown up by the Japanese army.

After the order was issued, the commander of the third battalion led the death squad to run in the direction of Shuiximen.

Ten minutes after the departure of the commander of the third battalion, Qiu Weida was worried that the Japanese troops besieging the city would outnumber the death squads, and if the death squads could not complete their tasks, the Japanese troops would attack the city from the broken city walls and expand the results of the battle.

Qiu Weida personally led a battalion of troops to reinforce him.

After fighting for an hour, all the Japanese troops who broke through were annihilated, and in addition to the war dead, 15 devils were also captured.

All annihilation and capture, it seems that the victory is on the side of the national army, but after the war, the casualties are counted, and everyone is silent.

The 306th Regiment that came over to support lost a whole battalion of troops, Qiu Weida's Nanhu hometown, that is, Hu Hao, the commander of the third battalion who led the death squad, and Liu Wanzi, the deputy of the regiment, all died bravely in this bloody battle.

As the sun sets, darkness covers the land.

The enemy did not dare to attack for fear of being trapped, but the shelling did not stop, and the flares did not stop, and the Chinese army was always worried that after the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, they would attack the Zhonghua Gate and did not dare to sleep.

Xia Yuan hid in the hidden soldier cave in the city wall, listening to the rumbling artillery fire outside, and he had no intention of sleeping.

The Japanese attack was ferocious, and the distance from the attack on Jinling was getting shorter and shorter, and Jinling could not hold it, even if he personally led a division to block the Japanese army, it could not be held.

It's not a matter of troops, even if you give him more troops, the result will be the same.

The commander of the first company scolded outside: "Little devil on dog days, you can't be idle, this artillery is endless, and the shells are not worth anything?" ”

The shelling by the Japanese devils has been going on for more than two hours, and although it is not violent, it is like sporadic raindrops falling, and the houses near the Zhonghua Gate have become a pile of ruins, and the streets are covered with rubble and debris, as well as the impact points of the bombs dropped by the Japanese devils.

"You have to rest, sleep for a while, maybe the Japanese devils will come tomorrow."

"I can't sleep, this cannon keeps ringing, how can I sleep."

"Don't you think the camp seat sleeps soundly?"

The remaining platoon, chattering, they found that the camp seat had fallen asleep at some point, so they lowered their voices.

After getting used to the sound of artillery outside, there was actually nothing.

Early in the morning of December 10th, Gu Shoufu appeared under the tree at the entrance of the arsenal with a big wolf dog, he was relieved to binoculars, rubbed his eyes, and roared at the gate, Sato and Shimada ran out in a panic, with their legs together, standing in front of Gu Shoufu.

Gu Shoufu's eyes widened angrily, and he roared: "Today, you must take the Zhonghua Gate, otherwise you won't come to see me, and go to apologize to the emperor!" ”

Sato and Shimada were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, Gu Shoufu held the binoculars and continued to observe the Zhonghua Gate, let out a burst of sneers, and a few cruel words popped out from between his teeth: "Tang Shengzhi, Tang Shengzhi, you are a piece of iron, and I will also make you melt!" You are a stone, and I will break you to pieces! ”

He raised his right hand and waved it to the sky, and the artillery position not far from the arsenal made a rumbling sound, white light flashed, and one after another shells flew out of the barrels, shooting directly at the Qinhuai River, Zhonghuamen Castle and the nearby streets.

The shells that fell in the Qinhuai River blew up droplets of water one by one, and the fish that were killed and stunned floated to the surface, like a layer of goose feathers floating on the water, and the castles, streets, and alleys were blown up into a flame, and the ruins were full of eyes.

After the shelling, Gu Shoufu raised his right hand and waved, and the tank group on the left side of the artillery position made a rumbling sound of starting, and unlike the infantry behind the tanks, they took off their shirts and launched a counterattack on Jinling against the cold wind.

The Zhonghua Gate was silent, and the enemy tanks were like a team under review, neatly crossing the bridge and approaching the Zhonghua Gate.

Gu Shoufu looked through the binoculars and watched their tanks arrive under the wall of Zhonghua Gate unimpeded, and he was a little confused for a while, there was no enemy group on the city wall that resisted, and it seemed that overnight, all the enemy troops on the city wall disappeared.

"Could it be that the people of China suffered heavy casualties and withdrew from the battle? So it's fine, order the troops, open the gates, and storm in! ”

However, before his order was issued, a series of explosions suddenly sounded in front of the Zhonghua Gate, and the rumbling sound was like thunder on a sunny day, and the explosions continued to spread, soon covering the tank group and the Japanese infantry, one by one the tanks were blown up, and a large number of infantry died under such explosions.

At the same time, an earth-shattering killing cry sounded inside and outside the Zhonghua Gate, and countless Chinese soldiers everywhere rushed to the enemy group as if they had emerged from the ground, and they issued a supreme cry: "Kill, rush!" ”

A circle of white bayonets inlaid a silver chain of war on the Zhonghua Gate in the flames.

The sudden arrival of the Chinese soldier was so shocked that Gu Shoufu's hat was crooked, he hurriedly grabbed the hat and said in surprise: "Nani, where did this come from!?" ”

His hands holding the telescope were trembling, and his whole body was trembling.

At this time, the gunfire suddenly stopped, the sound of the cannon was gone, the sound of the tank's motor was no longer turning, and the sound of fighting sounded in the ears.

The strong smell of blood wafted in with the northwest wind, and the smell was so strong that it was suffocating.

Xia Yuan is also among them, he is like a killing god, recuperating for a night, his strength returned to the peak state, picked up from the corpse of a national army, blood-stained broadsword, bathed in blood, alone into the enemy group, his strength is terrible, so that the Japanese devils are frightened, the big knife is like a giant axe, vertical chopping down, the Japanese devils try to use a rifle to resist.

The big knife was really like a giant axe, the rifle was broken in response, the potential of the big knife was undiminished, and it fell on the Japanese army, and the stomach was cut open on the spot, and even the ribs were cut off and torn by the roots, and the scene was bloody and terrifying.

Looking at the internal organs that flowed out, the smell of blood spread on the spot, and everyone present, whether it was the Japanese army or the national army, felt inexplicably frightened.

Of course, it was the Japanese army that was most afraid.

A devil squadron leader found that Xia Yuan's combat ability was strong, and he led five or six devil squad leaders to surround Xia Yuan, at this time Xia Yuan had already killed his red eyes, and a big knife was used by him superbly, there were no bells and whistles, only chopping, chopping, and constantly chopping.

The bayonets and infantry of the Japanese devils were like paper paste under his strength, and even entangled three or four Japanese soldiers to carry out sneak attacks, which were not Xia Yuan's opponents.

The danger perception was constantly warned, and with Xia Yuan's terrifying strength, reaction ability, and strong body coordination, a semi-circular slash, three human heads were thrown high, and blood gushed like a spring pillar.

Soon, the military uniform on Xia Yuan's body was pasted with a layer of rich, sticky, and slippery, with a hint of warmth, and then it blew in the cold wind, becoming cold blood, the big knife has been curled, the sharpness is still undiminished, Xia Yuan's strength is too great, and the big knife with the blade can still play a huge role.

The squadron leader of the Japanese devil led several squad leaders, with several Japanese infantrymen, naked and holding a Japanese sword, and rushed towards Xia Yuan.

"I still took off my clothes and thought I was invulnerable!?" Xia Yuan sneered, clenched the big knife, and jumped high with a step, he did not shy away from using his own strength, as high as 2.20 physical strength, making him like a perpetual motion machine, a slash.

A Japanese squad leader was caught off guard and wanted to use a Japanese sword to resist the broadsword.

At this moment, Xia Yuan's big knife was rolled with unrivaled potential energy, slashing down vertically, only listening to the sound of metal breaking, the big knife slashed directly on his shoulder, and the big knife went into the next three points, and then the big foot poked out like lightning and kicked his stomach, but seeing a bloody footprint on the stomach, the team leader who was kicked down spit blood, holding his stomach and arching into a shrimp.

I'm afraid that the internal organs were crushed by Xia Yuan's kick.

There are really few people in the world who can bear this kick.

The whole action was done in one go, and it didn't take more than two seconds to easily solve a squad leader, which slowed down the attacking Japanese devils.

However, Xia Yuan will not wait for them, if you hesitate, I will attack, Xia Yuan is like a fierce tiger, holding a big knife with a powerful blade, killing the enemy group, what infantry, squad leader, squadron leader, all take their lives.

He is really like a god on the battlefield, killing all the way through one person, killing the battlefield on the left, and not daring to set foot alone.

The Japanese devils didn't come to look for him, so he looked for the Japanese devils, strode on the abandoned tank of the Japanese devils, aimed at a fierce fight, and rushed over.

This team is composed of the remnants of the officers and soldiers of the 88th Division, including old and young, division commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders, staff officers, cooks, guards, medical officers, and horsemen.

As long as there is a mouthful, they all rush out and fight with the Japanese devils.

They are fighting with the Japanese devils, you fall, I am on top, at this moment, regardless of official position, identity, age, the same hatred of the enemy, go to the national disaster together.

This is too difficult, from the starting point in the morning, until the sunset in the afternoon, the two sides in the Zhonghua Gate, repeatedly fighting, blood flowing.

As long as there is an influx of Japanese troops into Zhonghua Gate, they will be forced out of the city by this special Chinese army and forced onto the bridge.

On this day, the Japanese army fought seven times, all of which were entered, but they were beaten back again, and so on and so forth. Tani never dreamed that the Chinese army would be so tenacious, and he even suspected that the Japanese invasion of Jinling might repeat Napoleon's mistake of attacking Mosk and lead to a point of no return.

It was 1812, Napoleon's attack on Mosike, met with resistance, and encountered fog and cold weather, the invincible emperor, abandoned 500,000 invincible warriors in the roaring wilderness of Russia, with only a few retinues, and disappeared into the wind and snow in despair.

In the Zhonghua Gate City, there are not many soldiers left in the 88th Army, and at this moment, their hopes are all behind Xia Yuan.

Will the situation on the battlefield change because of the presence of one person? Yes, it's true, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who can use their more than ten years of military career to guarantee that a person can really change a war, and someone has done it today.

The Japanese army came in seven times, and although they tried their best to stop the enemy and fight with the Japanese army, the Japanese army invested more and more troops, more and more people fell around them, and fewer and fewer people were standing, and everyone knew that they might have to serve the country.

Scared? Not being afraid is all fake, no one can maintain composure in the face of death, but in the case of the country's broken mountains and rivers, this fear is gone.

They are even more afraid that they will die in battle, that their land will be ruined, and that their people will be ruled by Japan is much higher than the death they are afraid of facing.

Therefore, everyone is desperately fighting with the Japanese devils, today, they exchange their lives for a few Japanese devils, tomorrow, there will be a few fewer Japanese devils to attack China, everyone is determined to die with the Japanese devils, when the Japanese devils arrive in another round of crazy attacks.

They are ready to sacrifice.

But there was a man in front of them, single-handedly killing the attacking Japanese troops, his uniform was covered with sticky blood, he couldn't see the epaulettes, his hat was missing, his hair was pasted on his head, and his face was black, blood and dirt.

He held a broadsword with a curled blade, smashed into the enemy group, and killed the Japanese devils without leaving a piece of armor.

Shocked all.

They reacted and fought with him into the enemy group, and with him, more and more Japanese devils fell, and his fighting ability was so strong that everyone was afraid of him.

Whether it's the Japanese devils or their own people.

More than 500 Japanese soldiers attacked, more than 100 people died at his hands, he took a step forward, the Japanese devils took a step back, no one dared to step forward to fight again, and some disobedient people wanted to take away his head, but he cut off his head with a knife.

The Japanese devil retreated, and the Chinese gate was guarded, but it had an inseparable relationship with the person in front of him.

Subsequently, these people knew his name, Xia Yuan, and a regiment commander was surprised: "Isn't this the Songhu God of War?" ”

Everyone was shocked.

Songhu God of War, but he was famous on the battlefield of Songhu, and now he appears in Zhonghua Gate, and he is so deeply hidden, is this Sun Yuanliang's strange move? Xia Yuan's appearance also encouraged the defenders of the entire Zhonghua Gate, and the news of the Songhu God of War in the Zhonghua Gate swept like a storm.

The soldiers defending the city learned that the god of war in Songhu was at the Zhonghua Gate, and with their own strength, they resisted the Japanese army from attacking the Zhonghua Gate seven times and defended the city gate for a whole day.

In short, Xia Yuan's appearance made up for their spiritual vacancy, and the morale of the defenders was huge.

After the war, there was a news in Japan that on this day, Gu Shoufu saw his troops fall in a pool of blood one by one, like crops that had been cut, and in an instant, he had doubted his command ability and the combat effectiveness of his 6th Division.

Therefore, he once wanted to poison his beloved four wolf dogs first, and then commit suicide by caesarean section himself, and this is the end of his life.
