The Japanese troops were not fools. They managed to break through the Gwanghwamun Gate with great difficulty, and Jiro Wakisaka would not be stupid enough to let the already advanced troops fight the defenders. In the face of the actual strength comparison between the two sides, the 36th Regiment was no match for the Gwanghwamun defenders.
Therefore, Wakisaka Jiro's order to the troops entering the city was to engage in street fighting with the defenders, delay the control of the main city gate as much as possible, and wait for other Japanese troops from the direction of Chunhua Town to arrive for reinforcements. Wakisaka Jiro had even sent troops to the ninth
The division reported the success of the 36th Regiment in breaching the Nanjing City Gate.
"Drive the little devil out." Xie Chengrui gave the order, and his soldiers swarmed out and rushed towards the Japanese army that had just entered the city. Strictly speaking, this was not a battle of equal strength. Regardless of the weapons, the Japanese army
Neither the configuration nor the number of soldiers was a match for the defenders, but the furious defenders had completely forgotten their calmness. The Japanese soldiers who rushed out were fighting purely with blood. Facing the precise shooting of the Japanese soldiers, one after another
A Japanese soldier fell on the charging road, and the thick plasma slowly accumulated into a blood puddle, and was then trampled into mud by the soldiers who followed.
Liu Yangyang is just a hot-headed soldier now. No matter how much he murmurs in private, no matter how much he scolds Xie Chengrui and others, Liu Yangyang still understands the principle of talking lightly, so Liu Yangyang is lying behind the rubble.
He tried his best to control his anger, but he kept muttering quietly. Tang Cheng no longer wanted to stay away from Liu Yangyang, because he was surprised to find that the words Liu Yangyang muttered were worse than Xie Chengrui's.
He was afraid of getting orders quickly. This meant that the problem that Xie Chengrui saw was also seen by Liu Yangyang, and Liu Yangyang's idea seemed to be more correct than Xie Chengrui's.
Xie Bo gave Tang Cheng a notebook that recorded his battlefield experiences over the years, but Xie Bo has left. It is impossible for Tang Cheng to learn to fight and become a real officer by relying on a notebook. So now, Tang Cheng is preparing to
He learned more about battlefield survival from Liu Yangyang. He believed that Liu Yangyang might be a good teacher, but Liu Yangyang himself did not know this.
The attack was still continuing. Although Xie Chengrui's soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, he still insisted on retaking the main city gate independently. The military police training regiment and the troops of the 87th Division could not argue with Xie Chengrui, so they had to follow his wishes. Another one
Another round of attacks, another round of attacks that were repelled by the Japanese army. The corpses of dead soldiers covered the streets. Those soldiers who had been injured by bullets and were still alive lay in the pile of corpses, screaming and screaming.
Tang Cheng felt heartbroken, as if a big hand had grasped his heart violently, then squeezed and loosened it vigorously.
"We can't fight like this anymore. Your troops will be wiped out before we can retake the city gate." Yi Anhua grabbed the furious Xie Chengrui, then pulled Xie Chengrui away and whispered advice. **
People have always valued power over position. Even if you have the rank of colonel, if you have no soldiers under your command, then you, the colonel, are not as good as a small second lieutenant. Yi Anhua would advise Xie Chengrui now, naturally it was for Xie Chengrui's benefit.
If Xie Chengrui, who was born in Huangpu, turned himself into a polished commander, he would really be laughed at.
After Xie Chengrui calmed down for a moment, he ordered all the officers in the regiment except for the rotating sentry posts to gather in front of him. After calming down, Xie Chengrui first roughly screened his soldiers, and then gathered all the light and heavy machine guns in the regiment.
, select twenty people who are good at shooting machine guns to form a machine gun platoon. Twenty people who are good at shooting rifles form a sniper platoon, and then select forty strong people to form a death squad at any time.
After Xie Chengrui assigned the task, Tang Cheng, who was lying on the rubble guardrail, asked Liu Yangyang beside him in confusion, "Uncle Liu, don't we have to snatch back the city gate first? They look like they are setting up an array, it's useful.
?"
"Does it work? Of course it does." Liu Yangyang held the cigarette dry in his mouth but did not light it. "Xie is rearranging the deployment of troops and the deployment of firepower. It seems that he wants to deal a serious blow to the little Japanese."
Liu Yangyang didn't explain clearly what a tough move was, and Tang Cheng didn't continue to ask. The two of them looked at the second teaching group in a tacit understanding, wanting to see what kind of move Xie Chengrui had suppressed.
A new round of battle started when the artillery battery of the Second Teaching Regiment began bombarding the city gate. Just as Liu Yangang expected, Xie Chengrui used the stupidest but also the safest trick this time. He gave the order first
Their own artillery battery blocked the city gate with artillery fire, and then used light and heavy machine guns to hold down the Japanese troops who entered the city with intensive fire. Then there was a showdown between the sharpshooters and the Japanese veterans. While everyone was attracted by the battle,
Sometimes, Xie Chengrui's death squads would take the opportunity to move forward. On a battlefield full of corpses, the death squads could easily find something to cover themselves.
"Up, up." Not only Liu Yangyang and Tang Cheng were paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, but Jiujin and Nianzi were also paying attention. The moment the death squads rushed up, Jiujin couldn't help but scream out.
Jiujin's shouting did not attract Liu Yangyang's eyes, but it attracted Xie Chengrui and Yi Anhua. Seeing that Liu Yangyang and the four of them were here, Xie Chengrui's face showed a strange color. He sent Liu Yangyang to be the leader.
Bing was the suggestion of Xie Chengrui's staff. Before this thorny head didn't want to do his best to teach the Second Regiment, the best way was to toss him, toss him vigorously, until Liu Yangyang lost his temper.
To be honest, Xie Chengrui didn't want to do this. Liu Yangyang was indeed an expert in fighting, but this was the Second Regiment of Instruction. Liu Yangyang dared to shout at him in front of so many soldiers for a little corporal. If Liu Yangyang was not punished,
, thinking that he would not be able to lead troops when teaching the Second Regiment in the future, so Xie Chengrui acquiesced to the advice of his staff officer. Suddenly seeing Liu Yangyang and his three soldiers, Xie Chengrui suddenly felt like cursing someone in his heart.
impulse.
"Didn't I arrange for you to help in the kitchen? Why are you still here?" Xie Chengrui asked loudly, pretending to use a telescope to observe the battle ahead, Liu Yangyang, who looked unconcerned. In the entire second teaching regiment, Xie Chengrui was naturally the one who spoke.
A useful role, but Liu Yangyang is not a member of their second teaching regiment, so Xie Chengrui can transfer Liu Yangyang to do the errands of the fire-headed soldiers, but he has no right to remove Liu Yangyang from his military duties. Although Liu Yangyang
The goat is just a little captain.
Liu Yangyang spoke in a low voice, but there were gunshots and explosions everywhere. Liu Yangyang's voice was not very loud, so Xie Chengrui didn't hear him clearly at all. But it didn't matter whether he heard it or not. Wait for Liu Yangyang's words.
Without moving his mouth, Xie Chengrui turned away with his binoculars. "Aren't those soldiers under your command just now?" Yi Anhua asked the cold-faced Xie Chengrui in a low voice. He could already tell that something was wrong from Xie Chengrui's expression just now.
But in front of Liu Yangyang and the others, Yi Anhua did not ask.
"I have such a great reputation. They are a company of the 88th Division that withdrew from Shanghai. When the 88th Division retreated from Shanghai, they left a battalion behind at Sihang Warehouse. This company is the last person of that battalion. A few days ago
He helped me guard the forward position for a while, but in the end, only four people were beaten, the four you saw, and the one who answered was their company commander." Xie Chengrui smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, even though
He and Yi Anhua were both acquaintances, and Xie Chengrui still didn't tell the truth to Yi Anhua.
"It's Xie Jinyuan's people." After listening to Xie Chengrui's words, Yi Anhua couldn't help but turn around and look at the pile of rubble. When the troops gathered in Shanghai were evacuated that day, Xie Jinyuan was ordered to retreat, and there was only an infantry battalion that was not full of troops around him.
Relying on the strength and location of the Sixing Warehouse, Xie Jinyuan forced the Japanese army to do nothing against him. If the government had not ordered Xie Jinyuan to lead his troops to withdraw into the concession, I am afraid that the Sixing Warehouse would still be in Xie Jinyuan's hands.
Yi Anhua is affiliated with the 87th Division. The 87th Division and the 88th Division are the security forces that defend the country. Yi Anhua and Xie Jinyuan also know each other. Hearing that Liu Yangyang and the others are Xie Jinyuan's subordinates, Yi Anhua can't help but go up.
Xie Chengrui didn't ask Liu Yangyang and the others to leave. Besides, his second teaching regiment was severely short of personnel after several days of fighting. Xie Chengrui now wished that even the military doctors would be brought in to fight. Liu Yangyang and the four of them would have stayed here.
It doesn't matter.
Seeing that Xie Chengrui no longer paid attention to him, Liu Yangyang immediately became energetic. While pulling out his shell gun and checking the magazine, he asked Nianzi to be ready to fire with the machine gun at any time. "The little Japs have entered the city. There are ruins everywhere.
There is no advantage in fighting them with a long gun, our short gun is the most suitable." Seeing Liu Yangyang checking his shell gun, Tang Cheng opened his mouth but did not make a sound. He wanted to ask Liu Yangyang, but thought about it.
Still no questions asked.
The battle has reached this point. Not everyone can leave if they want to. Besides, the Japanese army has already entered the city. If everyone wants to retreat and retreat, I am afraid that the entire Nanjing will be occupied by the Japanese army. By then, everyone here will
No one can leave Nanjing alive. As long as he understands this, Tang Cheng can understand why Liu Yangyang is doing this now. Instead of being chased by the Japanese army and living in an ignoble way, it would be better to fight the Japanese army face to face.
This is the character of goats.
After Xie Chengrui readjusted his tactics, he taught the veterans of the Second Regiment to use their own corpses as cover and use rifles to shoot at the Japanese troops entering the city. The artillerymen used mortars to suppress the Japanese machine gun fire on the city gate, and then Xie Chengrui's machine gunners
Strong firepower was used to block the offensive route of the Japanese troops entering the city. With the joint efforts of several parties, the Japanese troops entering the city were temporarily blocked from continuing to advance. At this time, Xie Chengrui's death squad had moved to a place no more than meters away from the forward Japanese troops entering the city.
