Soon, Ji Hongru ordered more than a hundred suicide squadrons to charge with him. Before setting off, these suicide squadrons did not go to the battlefield like in the TV series.

They went there directly with passion, without any material encouragement or any reward. They went there without hesitation, with their love for their motherland and their hatred for the Japanese devils.

Who is young and not frivolous? I want to compete with God!

The future of a country has always been about young people. If a young man is strong, the country will be strong. If a young man is wise, the country will be wise.

If a young man is not strong, how can a young man become so poor?

Ji Hongru took more than 100 young soldiers to the battlefield like this, and he was a suicide squad that was about to die!

These hundred soldiers were carrying machetes on their backs, holding rifles in their hands, and four or five grenades on their waists. These were the "careful sets" they wanted to prepare for the Japanese.

"Top the grenade!" As he approached the sand pile, Ji Hongru shouted, holding a grenade that had already pulled the cover in his hand!

"Sigh~"

"Sigh~"

"Sigh~"

One by one, they pulled the ropes and threw the grenades with blue smoke outwards into the gap between the city gates.

“Boom!!!”

“Boom!!!”

“Boom!!!”

The explosions were endless, and the screams of the Japanese devils were mixed with.

"Go!" Ji Hongru took the Zhongzheng rifle in his hand and led the way to the ground.

Ji Hongru, who was the first to climb up the pile of sand and gravel, found that the Japanese army outside had temporarily retreated. Soon, a row of Japanese rifles lined up in two rows to shoot at the gravel gap in the city gate.

Ji Hongru was not a nerd who only read books. On the contrary, he was very smart and witty.

Seeing that things were not done, he quickly retreated to the back, and there was no need for him to make unnecessary sacrifices.

At this moment, many officers and soldiers rushed up to the city wall and then shot wildly at the Japanese army outside the city gate.

The Japanese offensive was immediately frustrated, but the Japanese army did not intend to stop the attack. Soon, under the cover of tanks and cannons, they launched another fierce attack on Guanghuamen again.

The war at Guanghua Gate that morning was extremely fierce. The city gate was blocked and broken as soon as it was broken.

Under the order of the division commander Wang Yaowu, the 51st Division, Ji Hongru, the new leader of the 302nd Regiment, led the suicide squad to launch several counterattacks but failed. The situation was once very critical.

After the news of the critical direction from Guanghuamen reached the underground office of the Ministry of Railways, Liao Ken, the chief of the General Staff of the Garrison Commander, said directly to his subordinate, Tan Daoping, the chief of the First Section of the General Staff Department, said: "I will take my phone to Guanghuamen to check it out and talk to you every ten minutes. If the phone can't be shaken, the general trend will be over. You can make other preparations!"

After saying that, Liao Ken left the staff office without looking back and immediately took a few officers and soldiers to Guanghua Gate directly.

Soon, Liao Ken, who had arrived at Guanghua Gate, called back to the Office of the General Staff of the Garrison Command. It turned out that all the Japanese troops that were attacking the city had been annihilated, and the reinforcements of the Teaching Corps and the 87th Division had arrived, but the Japanese tanks lined up on the grounds of the colonel and often launched an attack like the city gate.

It was not until the afternoon when the Kuomintang army transferred four small steel cannons from the city and blew up one of the Japanese tanks that the Japanese army began to retreat and directly retreated across the Zhonghe Bridge. The Kuomintang army took the opportunity to launch a high-intensity counterattack before recovering the large colonel.

Compared to the lively and thrilling Guanghua Gate, Zhiyi Gate seemed calm. After Song Xilian received the order to guard the river, he directly sent the main force of the 216th Regiment and the three battalions of Zhiyi Gate to be responsible for the guard and confiscation of ships of various troops.

Song Xilian is not a dull person when it comes to confiscation of ships in various troops. It’s time for this. If you fully and seriously implement Chief Tang’s orders, you will be afraid of offending many people. You are not afraid of offending people in normal times, but this is a war period, and it is a full-scale war!

So Song Xilian gave Zhang Shaoxun and Zhang Tianhai a hint in private, probably turning a blind eye, but he also knew in his heart that if the troops were willing to hide the ships, he would definitely have no choice but to do anything to them.

"Yulin, tell me! If you were the commander in this battle, how would you fight?" Standing on the city tower, Song Xilian stood with his hands behind his back in the direction of Guanghua Gate.

"The Secretariat means, is our army?" Zhang Tianhai asked cautiously, for fear of causing the Secretariat to be unhappy.

"No, I'm talking about the Japanese army. If you were the Japanese commander, how would you command this siege?" Song Xilian looked at Zhang Tianhai.

Song Xilian's eyes made Zhang Tianhai shocked. This situation looked too much like the teacher asked questions in elementary school. However, he quickly calmed down and said directly: "If Beizhi was the commander of the Japanese army, Beizhi would immediately mobilize heavy artillery and collapse the city wall. It would be impossible. The engineers dug soil and advance, buried explosives under the city wall, exploded the city wall, and then opened a breakthrough in multiple directions, and then seized the outer city!"

"What if you are the commander who is responsible for guarding the city wall? Are you confident that you can win this battle?" Song Xilian took another question from Zhang Tianhai.

"Master, you already have the answer in your heart, why ask me?" Zhang Tianhai said with a wry smile.

Song Xilian sighed and then changed the topic: "Hey, I don't know, how did the 213th Regiment Commander Gu and his regiment behave? I heard that the 41st Division was fighting hard. Some of the main forces of the Japanese army surrounded the Qixia Mountain position. Fortunately, the Qixia Mountain position was attacked from above, otherwise with the Japanese offensive momentum, the 41st Division and the 213th Regiment would have been gone long ago."

"Master, please feel at ease! Commander Gu and others will definitely be fine." Zhang Tianhai said with confidence, because he knew that Gu Baoyu later became the commander of the Expeditionary Force and could not die in the Nanjing Defense War, so he had this confidence.

"I hope..." Song Xilian's eyes were full of worries, but he did not realize that Zhang Tianhai's expression was even more worried than him.

...

On the same day, the 58th Division of Niushoushan fought fiercely with the enemy all day. Later, due to a premature retreat of a right detachment sent by the 88th Division, the position was loopholes. The Japanese army took the opportunity to chase northwest, and their advance troops took the opportunity to seize the Dasheng Pass and there was a tendency to invade north along the river.

At this time, the position of the 58th Division was isolated and had to wait until after night before being ordered to retreat. Joining with one of the 51st Division as the garrison of Song Jiaao in Shuangjian Town (i.e. Shuangzha Town).

On the same day, the 41st Division and the 213th Regiment of the 36th Division launched a key battle with the enemy besieging Qixia Mountain, advancing and retreating three times, with heavy casualties. The division, together with the 213th Regiment, took the opportunity to break through and withdraw from the Qixia Mountain position in the afternoon of the same day, and moved to the 48th Division's Shuiximen position on the east and west line of Monk Bridge.

Among them, after retreating to the position of the 48th Division, the 213th Regiment's headquarters received an order from the division commander Song Xilian and immediately advanced towards Yijiangmen. Fifteen minutes later, the order was cancelled, and the specific reason is unknown.
