Before dawn, Hu Yang, Cao Zijin, and Guan Shijie all quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After their troops suffered heavy casualties, reinforcements came from behind. Zhang Sixing did not give them much supplement, and each battalion supplemented a company of fruit troops armed with pistols and broadswords.

Zhu Chi, the commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 262nd Brigade, who took advantage of the last bombardment of the Japanese attack on the delta flank before dawn, including the pistol battalion of the Guo army, was extremely satisfied with the results of this night.

It is an out-and-out fact that a division, a whole division, although its strength was reduced in the early battle with the Guo army, but it was almost completely wiped out overnight.

Throughout the night, men from three pistol battalions chased after them, and continued to suppress them with semi-automatic fire. Of course, the most important thing is the delta wing in the sky, where there are many bombs, a bunch of bombs will fall.

It turns out that the cluster bomb may not be as large as the charge in a cannon shell, but the panic caused by the kind of surface damage caused by the explosion of its submunitions is not at all something that ordinary soldiers can resist.

However, the most ferocious killing did not reach a high tide until the main part of the remnants of the 114th Division approached the Ande Gate and Fengtai Gate.

Lighting appeared in the sky, not gas lamps towed by triangular kites, not hot air balloons in the style of Kong Ming lanterns. Rather, it was Zhang Sixing and their flying team, with gas lamps hanging from the two sharp corners of the delta wing.

On the suddenly bright battlefield, there seemed to be countless scattered Japanese infantry in a mess. Most of them were unarmed, and they threw away almost all of their weapons and ammunition when they fled.

Opposite them was a network of tanks, armored vehicles, and HMG42 machine guns.

On the plain, the infantrymen, illuminated by the lights of the sky, were almost instantly shocked by the fierce slaughter of machine guns. They turned their heads, turned around and ran desperately into the darkness of the road they had come.

The soldiers of the three battalions there were shooting at a rapid pace, forming a wall of fire that could not be crossed by the number of men.

Another group of people turned their heads and ran forward desperately. Then the two forces collided head-on, and as a result, everyone was squeezed and unable to move. This is the 114th Division, the largest group of routs.

This was the result of the entire defensive line of the 114th Division being blown down, and the whole of them were driven into the center with bombs by the delta wing when they fled.

The 114th Division, as a type B division, had as many as 20,000 troops when it was fully manned. Although it has never rested from the Songhu battlefield to the Jinling battlefield, there are at least nearly 20,000 people at this moment.

It is true that there are quite a few people, but under the silent air strikes of the delta wings, hundreds of people will be hated by cluster bombs at a time. And the continuous bombing for several hours also once again revealed a cognition of Zhang Sixing:

In the Second World War, whoever mastered the sky mastered the world, there was no probability.

On the army, the German army can be said to be the strongest in the world, but when the B17 of the US imperialists flew to Germany and began to bomb indiscriminately, the war became a competition of comprehensive strength of countries that the soldiers did not know and were displaced from the battlefield.

You must know that the United States alone produced 300,000 aircraft and 147 aircraft carriers in World War II. After Roosevelt's New Deal, its comprehensive strength was indeed strong at that time.

It was only when it was dawn that the carnage gradually subsided. The dawn of the morning gave the broken Japanese soldiers a sense of direction, and the broken men desperately ran to the east, the defense area of the Japanese 9th Division.

But Zhu Chi, who had been fighting all night, also felt tired, and when he saw that Zhang Sixing wanted his pistol battalion to join the defense of Andemen and Fengtaimen, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

"In this way, I can't control other people's troops, and the pistol battalion of my 262nd Brigade will return to its formation. After all, compared to here, the position of Yuhuatai is more important. In addition......"

Hiding his excitement at defeating and annihilating most of the 114th Division overnight, Zhu Chi also suggested to the officers of the three paratrooper schools in front of him,

"I don't know what Principal Zhang thinks, the preset positions built here have long been destroyed by the heavy artillery of the Japanese. The old wall system here has long been unusable, in order to see the following...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stick here. ”

Regarding the attitude of Zhu Chi, the commander of the 262nd Brigade in front of him, Cao Zijin suppressed his anger and said,

"Brigade Commander Zhu, the commander asked us to stick here, so naturally we have the intention of sticking to it. You're going to leave with your pistol battalion, I'm afraid it's a bit uninteresting, how can I say that our commander also took you to a big victory. ”

As a former military police officer, Cao Zijin of course speaks official language. Especially worried about Zhu Chi's face, he didn't say that his daughter-in-law married into the house, and the matchmaker threw it over the wall.

In contrast, Guan Shijie's words can be listened to a lot,

"Damn, I have long seen that your kid is dissatisfied with seven and eight are angry. This time, our chief is blind and sees the wrong person. I will give you a great credit, I can't even get a special pistol battalion, and our surname Zhu will not change the green mountains, and the green water will flow for a long ......time."

Hu Yang's lips moved, but unfortunately he was only a company commander or a second lieutenant, so naturally there was no place for him to speak.

It's just that from then on, the last bit of pride in his heart was gone. I really look down on the style of the officers of the Guo Army.

When they heard that the troops of the paratroop school had suffered losses in Andemen and Fengtai, they telegraphed the commander to change the battle plan and take the initiative to attack.

Thinking of this, he grinned, and then said to Cao Zijin and Guan Shijie,

"Lieutenant, since Brigade Commander Zhu has other arrangements, there is no need for the two of them to be persuaded. Let's go back to the command post and listen to the news over there! ”

As he spoke, his chin lowered in the direction of Guanyin Mountain and Jiangjun Mountain.

Cao Zijin and Guan Shijie, who felt that it was not worth talking to Zhu Chiduo anymore, looked at each other, and then nodded together. Guan Shijie obviously didn't bother to say anything more to Zhu Chi, but Cao Zijin glanced at Zhu Chi, shook his head lightly and said in a low voice,

"You, the face of a really special mechanic!"

After speaking, the three of them walked towards the joint command post together, and they were still discussing as they walked.

"Later, Lu Feizhou's side is done, and everyone will be sent up to dig a single soldier hole. In addition, we have fewer people, and there are a lot of weapons and ammunition thrown by the devils on the battlefield over there, so no one should have time to help us clean up. ”

Looking at the three people who were walking away, they stood on the ruined city wall of Andemen again, looking at the battlefield in front of them.

The individual soldiers' holes dug the ground like pockmarks, and it can be seen that the paratrooper school suffered many casualties under the heavy artillery attack of the Japanese army last night. But in this space, no one should be able to help them.

As for why he didn't leave his pistol battalion behind, you must know that in the entire 262nd Brigade, it must be the best equipped unit. To put it mildly, even if the front collapses, this pistol battalion will be able to protect itself and return to Jinling.

Although he knew that his choice would offend Zhang Sixing, after all, he was just a major, and he was still subordinate to the German officer corps, and he had no direct jurisdiction over him.

Looking at the vast sky, I told myself this:

So be it!
