War of Resistance

Chapter 205 Siege!

Soon, the gunfire stopped, and rows of Japanese soldiers in woolen yellow uniforms with shiny bayonets on their muzzles were launching a group charge under the cover of several thin-skinned tanks.

They are bound to win this position!
"Let's go, brothers, we should find someone to accompany us on the road." After speaking, Ge Cheng straightened his helmet, and then walked out slowly with the medium-sized rifle in his hand without looking back.

"Let's go. Brothers, otherwise the enemy will be overwhelmed." The acting battalion commander Chen Xian commanded the remaining 21 people in the cave.

"Remember to prepare a glorious thunderbolt for yourself. The members of our [-]nd Regiment can't be prisoners even if they die!" Before leaving for the fortifications, Chen Xian ordered his few remaining robes.

When he walked out of the position, he saw that the position was already full of bullet craters, and the ground was covered with the corpses of his brothers, some with severed hands and feet, and some who were even cut into two by shells. The ground was stained red.

"Brothers, I, Chen Xian, will come to accompany you soon! Take a step first, and remember to wait for me on the side of Huangquan Road!" After speaking, Chen Xian took out the water bottle from his waist and poured it on the ground. One point, "Brothers, I'm out of wine today, so I can use water instead of wine and drink a little with my brothers. Go all the way!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xian poured out all the water in the kettle, picked up the Czech light machine gun in front of him, and loaded it with bullets. The machine guns of several nearby battalions have been searched here.

"Brothers, bring the enemy closer before you fight!" Chen Xian did not forget to tell the brothers who were still alive around him.

……

Masao Koizumi of the Japanese army on the opposite side is a lieutenant officer. Since the landing in Hangzhou Bay, the progress of the Kunizaki detachment has been very smooth. They never encountered strong resistance, and even if there was, the Sixth Division, which opened the way ahead, also cleared the obstacles for them to advance.

Today is the time for him to make meritorious deeds. The heavy medal seems to be waiting for him. Thinking of Masao Koizumi, his face is full of excitement: "Hey! Come on! Charge! Charge!"

As he said that, Koizumi Masao, who had a plaster band wrapped around his head, held up the command knife and rushed forward, but within a few steps, a bullet hit the plaster pattern in the middle of his forehead, and he died instantly.

"The fifth one..." muttering rightly, Ge Cheng put down the center-marking rifle in his hand, and there was one last person before he completed his goal.

When the Japanese soldiers saw that the officer leading the charge was knocked down, they immediately lay down and moved forward instead, not forgetting to shout: "Ha Youku! Ha Youku! The enemy is in the direction of 300 o'clock, about [-] meters away. Prepare the grenade immediately!"

……

All the devils in sight fell down, and Chen Xian didn't feel flustered in the slightest. He said, "Be careful, these little devils are about to touch them, and in all likelihood, they'll hit us with a grenadier first." , and then launch a collective charge, everyone pay attention to disperse and avoid bombs!"

After hearing this, everyone hurriedly scattered and avoided, but they soon discovered that only the Japanese army in front of them stopped advancing, and the Japanese army in other directions did not stop advancing!

After discovering this situation, although Chen Xian felt urgent, he had no choice but to do it—they only had this few people left, and they were powerless to stop the advance of the Japanese army.

Sure enough, the Japanese army in front launched a fierce attack after firing two salvos of grenade launchers, but Ge Cheng was not so lucky, he was knocked down by the Japanese grenade launcher shells.

Falling into a pool of blood, Ge Cheng unscrewed the cover of the grenade at his waist, and a happy scene in the small house appeared in front of his eyes. He held his lovely daughter in his left hand and his wife in his right hand. It was his parents and grandparents.

Thinking of the corner of Ge Cheng's mouth curling into a smile, he said softly: "Father, grandparents, and daughter-in-law, Xiao Lan'er, I'll come down to reunite with you right away. I'll wait until the end." A padded..."

Ge Cheng stared at the sky with his eyes wide open. He was breathing desperately and holding on. He wanted to hold on until the moment when the devils charged up. He wanted to die with these Japanese devils who had ruined him all!

It didn't take long for the last line of defense formed by these twenty or so people to break through. The acting battalion commander Chen Xian and the rest of the officers and soldiers were all heroic.

Before the sacrifice, they threw the Japanese and caused huge casualties, and the powerful firepower net left hundreds of corpses for the little devils.

And Ge Cheng, in the end, left without waiting for the moment when the devil rushed up. Before leaving, his fingers were still tightly wrapped around the pull cord of the grenade...

He did not complete his last goal until his death. No one remembered how tragic the last battle in Chunhua Town was.

At 1937:12 p.m. on December 8, 70, all the officers and soldiers of the five battalions of the No. [-] Fourth Army Division Headquarters guarding Chunhua Town died heroically, and Chunhua Town was declared to have fallen.

Tragic scenes like this were just the tip of the iceberg in the defense of Nanjing. The defenders of the Chinese army fighting on the front line usually sacrificed entire companies and battalions. Their equipment was much worse than that of the Japanese army. , but their resolute fighting will is by no means worse than that of the Japanese army, and even more tenacious.

They all stepped forward to fight with the will to die. If there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached?How can a family be a family when the country is gone?How can there be any eggs in a full nest?The supplementary sources of many troops were mobilized from all over the country. They knew that there was a war in the direction of Shanghai and Nanjing, and fighting meant death, but they resolutely signed up for support.

After capturing Chunhua Town, the Japanese army continued to attack, and immediately mobilized its main force, artillery, and mechanized troops to attack Tangshan Town, which was in the second-line position. The defenders fought with it until [-]:[-] pm.

The frontline position of Tangshan Town was once invaded by the Japanese army. Fortunately, the main position and the highlands on both sides were still in the hands of the national army. When the [-]th division of the reinforcements arrived, the national army immediately launched a high-intensity and violent counterattack, and then drove the Japanese army out. The position, the front is also gradually stabilized.

As of December [-], the Japanese army had advanced to the outskirts of Nanjing, reaching Qixia Mountain in the northeast, Dahu Mountain in the east, Tangshan Town in the south, and Moling Pass and Jiangning Town in the southwest.

To the west and north of Nanjing is the rolling Yangtze River.

At this time, Nanjing has become a besieged city where the beasts are still fighting!

At about eleven o’clock in the evening on the [-]th, the Tang Shengzhi mansion was bombed by Japanese planes, the glass was shattered, and the paper objects on the table were flying in the air. Immediately afterwards, Japanese planes flew to the vicinity of the Tang mansion for reconnaissance. Tan Daoping, who was then Chief of the First Section of the Staff Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison, immediately reported to Tang Shengzhi that their office had been discovered by Japanese aircraft and requested to move the office.

Sitting at the desk, Tang Shengzhi said directly in front of Luo Zhuoying and Liu Xing, the two deputy commanders: "I can't just move this house because of the Japanese bombs. If you think the office is cramped, you can move to the railway station." I have to go to the underground office of the Ministry to work. I can't leave here, the two deputy chiefs, Luo and Liu, and I should stay here."

That is, on the [-]th, the Nanjing Garrison Commander's Department has completed a new defense deployment:
The right detachment, stick to the line of Dashan in Banqiao Town;

No.70 The [-]st and [-]th Divisions of the Fourth Army firmly guarded the strongholds around Niu Shou Mountain and the line of Heding Bridge;
No.80 Eighth Division sticks to Yuhuatai;

The No.70 Seventh Division of the No.80 First Army sticks to the line of Heding Bridge (north of the Jiangnan Railway), and communicates with the No.80 Eighth Division and the First Division on the right, and communicates with the Teaching Corps on the left;

Teach the corps to stick to Zijin Mountain;
The Second Army Corps firmly guards the line of Yangfang Mountain, Wulong Mountain and the fortress of Wulong Mountain;

No.30 Sixth Division sticks to Hongshan and Mufushan;
No.60 The Sixth Army assembled near Dashuiguan and prepared for orders;
No.80 The 36th Division and a regiment of the [-]th Division of the three armies covered the troops retreating to Nanjing on the Qinglong Mountain and Longwang Mountain lines, and the [-]rd and [-]th Divisions in Zhenjiang rushed towards Nanjing.
