I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 159 Will Someone Remember Us
At around [-] o'clock in the morning, two full hours had passed since the Japanese army transferred to rest.

The more than 6000 main infantrymen under Okamoto Yasuyuki have completed their rest and adjustments.

In the temporary former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army, a Japanese major came in quickly from the outside, saluted Okamoto Yasuyuki who was frowning in front of the battle map, and said: "Reporting sir, all the regiments are ready to attack again at any time. Can attack."

After hearing this, Yasuyuki Okamoto immediately said in a deep voice: "Order the artillery regiment to stop shelling. The 23rd Infantry Regiment and the 45th Infantry Regiment immediately attack the 312 and 313 heights respectively."

"Hay!" The Japanese Major suddenly nodded, turned and left in a hurry.

In the bunker on the reverse slope of the 312 highland, listening to the sound of the artillery outside gradually weakening, Xu Qingfeng judged that the Japanese army should stop the shelling and start attacking.

He immediately stood up and ordered in a deep voice: "The enemy's artillery fire is about to stop. Each company and platoon quickly get out of the bunker and return to the forward position to prepare to meet the enemy. Hurry!"

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment in various bunkers responded in unison, and immediately rushed out with weapons and ammunition boxes on their shoulders.

Xu Qingfeng took the lead and galloped over the top of the highland, leading back to the forward position.

It was almost the same time that Xu Qingfeng brought the main force of the Tiger Regiment back to the front.

On the opposite highland 313, Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli and others also led hundreds of main forces, and rushed back to their defensive position on the front of the highland from the reverse slope.

The two troops quickly entered their respective fighting positions and were ready to face the enemy.

In a hidden bunker at the front of the 312 Heights, Xu Qingfeng was holding up a telescope to observe the enemy's situation.

On the road, a large number of devil soldiers with live ammunition were advancing towards them in a dense line of skirmishers.

Because of the distance, the devils did not charge as soon as they came up.

Otherwise, if you run at full speed for one or two kilometers, most of your physical strength will be exhausted, so why attack?
Therefore, before entering the effective range of the firepower of both sides, the devil's attacking queue is still relatively dense.

Whether it is a three-eighth cover or an official rifle, the absolute effective range is generally within 400 meters.

However, considering the shooting level of the soldiers, usually the offensive side generally only moves to a position about 300 meters away from the defensive side's position, and will open the distance of the skirmish line, and carry out charge and tactical evasion actions.

According to the Japanese infantry drill and offensive tactics, after they opened the skirmisher line after a distance of nearly 300 meters, the distance between the two soldiers must be at least ten meters.

This is to ensure that three of our own soldiers will not appear in the defender's machine gun range at the same time, thereby reducing the casualty rate.

But these are just drills. In actual combat, these offensive tactics and rigid drill requirements will change due to various unfavorable factors such as terrain.

For example, the current 312 and 313 highlands are an example. The two highlands guard the road leading to Nanjing City from the left to the right.

Both sides of the road were either woods or steep hillsides, which seriously hindered the deployment of Japanese troops.

There is not a total of 1000 meters of horizontal space left for the Japanese army to charge.

Naturally, it is impossible to extend the distance between the skirmishers to ten meters as required in the infantry drill.

Unable to expand horizontally, the Japanese army can only be forced to increase the offensive echelon vertically, which has become a taboo refueling tactic for military strategists.

For example, in the attack last night, the Japanese army invested as many as [-] troops each time.

But in fact, every time the Japanese army directly exchanged fire with the Huben Regiment, there were only three to 400 people.

It doesn't have an advantage locally, and after the hundreds of people in front are exhausted, it will be the turn of the devils behind to rush up to confront each other.

If more people were put in, the crowd would be too dense and there would be no room for tactical evasive actions, so they could only be used as live targets for the machine guns of the Huben Regiment and the Pre-Yiyi Regiment.

It is precisely because of this that the Huben Regiment and the Pre-First Regiment were able to kill more than 3000 men of the Sixth Division in one night with less than a thousand casualties.

Most of the nearly [-] casualties were caused by Japanese air strikes and artillery fire.

You must know that the devils have an absolute advantage in terms of firepower, military strength, and air supremacy.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo's effective restraint tactics and command.

But no matter what, Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo managed to block the attack of the 1th Division with more than 6 people with only one reinforced regiment, creating a miracle on the battlefield.

While Xu Qingfeng was observing the battle situation, Sun Kui and Chen Qifeng followed the trench one after another and came to his side with their waists bent.

"Tuan Zuo, there are quite a few devils here this time."

After raising the binoculars to observe for a while, Sun Kui, the commander of the Ninth Company, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The defense of Nanjing has been fought so far, and the Japanese army is only one step away from capturing Nanjing and winning.

In addition, we have sworn hatred with them, and the Japanese commander wishes he could seize our position immediately and cut them into pieces.

The dispatch of these troops to attack was also expected. "

Xu Qingfeng put down the telescope, reached for a medium-grade rifle, opened the safety, pulled the bolt, and while checking the magazine, he ordered the two of them: "Tell the brothers, the old rule is, keep it close before shooting!"

"Yes!" Sun Kui and Chen Qifeng responded at the same time, and quickly conveyed Xu Qingfeng's order along the trench respectively.

At this time, the Japanese army outside the position had advanced to a position of 300 meters.

Following the orders of some leading Japanese Army Cao, Chief Cao and lieutenants, a group of devil flag soldiers holding command flags quickly began to wave the command flags, conveying the order to start charging to the attacking troops in front.

The Japanese soldiers who were originally advancing forward in a dense skirmish line began to charge rapidly and spread the skirmish line as far as possible.

Looking from the positions of the Huben Regiment and the Pre-First Regiment, the Japanese troops who were originally in a line suddenly dispersed and turned into a dense formation, rushing towards their own positions at a faster pace.

For the rapidly charging Japanese army, half of the 300-meter distance was quickly covered.

On the Huben regiment's position, Xu Qingfeng, who had been preparing for a long time, had already aimed at a Japanese sergeant who was leading the charge, and decisively pulled the trigger.

boom!Gunshots rang out, and the Japanese sergeant who was less than 200 meters away from Xu Qingfeng was shot in the head and fell down.

Seeing this, the ghost soldiers who were charging behind him continued to charge forward even more angrily, regardless of their sadness.

The sound of Xu Qingfeng's gunshot was the order for the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment to fire. During the time it took Xu Qingfeng to pull the bolt of the gun.

The more than 300 officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, who had been preparing for a long time, all followed suit and pulled the trigger.

Due to the existence of fortifications such as the reverse slope position and the cat's ear hole, although the Huben Regiment suffered a lot of casualties in the battle last night, a large number of important heavy firepower such as light and heavy machine guns and grenades have been preserved.

There will still be more than 20 Czech-style, crooked-bar light machine guns, and more than [-] Type [-], Maxim heavy machine guns.

With so many light and heavy machine guns firing at the same time, a dense criss-crossing fire network was formed in an instant.

A large number of hot bullets, like splashing water, poured in a fan shape towards the Japanese attacking troops.

Restricted by the terrain, they couldn't be fully deployed, and the ghost soldiers with a high depth and density were shot and fell down one after another.

Since the frontal width of the devil's attack is less than one kilometer, the more than 30 light and heavy machine guns of the Huben Regiment alone can block them all.

Not to mention, there is the Pre-Yi Regiment commanded by Zhou Weiguo next door, and the officers and soldiers of the Pre-Yi Regiment, led by Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli and others, opened fire together.

The density of blocking firepower encountered by the devils was even greater, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as falling down in rows.

During the fierce battle, many devil grenadiers who charged with the team spontaneously searched for suitable shelters to hide, and took out their grenadiers to launch grenades.

Some who couldn't find cover even used the corpses of their own dead soldiers as cover, and started firing grenades after hiding behind them, counterattacking the Huben regiment and the Pre-Yi regiment.

After a group of sharpshooters such as Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo found out, they immediately targeted them and suppressed them.

In particular, Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo turned into super snipers, firing bullets without missing a beat, constantly harvesting the lives of Japanese grenadiers and machine gunners one after another.

In less than 5 minutes, the two men sniped and killed no less than fifteen Japanese, most of whom were grenadiers who posed the greatest threat to their own side.

Coupled with the results of other sharpshooters, the grenadier firepower that the devils rely on was completely suppressed.

Without the threat of grenades, the machine gunners of the Huben Regiment and the First Regiment were able to let go of their hands and feet and launch intensive strafing against the Japanese infantry.

The Japanese who were beaten were shot and fell one after another.

Okamoto Yasuyuki, who was in the rear, saw everything that happened to the attacking troops.

Seeing that the attacking troops were frustrated again without any accident, the old devil turned pale, and immediately ordered the adjutant next to him with a dark face: "Order the offensive troops to stop attacking and retreat. Carry out a poison gas attack.

The offensive troops of the second echelon, wearing gas masks, are preparing for a new round of attack. "

"Hay!" The adjutant hurriedly nodded and sent the order to go.

……

After receiving the order, the Japanese troops who suffered heavy casualties stopped their charge one after another, and quickly receded like a tide.

"Tuan Zuo, how come the devils are so careless this time, and they withdrew so quickly?"

Chen Qifeng, who had already returned to Xu Qingfeng's side, couldn't help asking in surprise when he saw this.

He raised his hand and shot a slow-running Japs in the head from behind.

Xu Qingfeng stood up from the trench, held up the binoculars and looked behind the Japanese army for a while.

Immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone retreats immediately and moves to the reverse slope position to prevent the enemy from shelling."

From Xu Qingfeng's point of view, the devils suddenly stopped attacking, probably because they were going to bombard them.

Under his order, Chen Qifeng, Wang Tiezhu, Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian, Lei Xiong and others led their subordinates and quickly retreated towards the reverse slope of the high ground.

On the side of the pre-Yiyi regiment, Fang Shengli saw that the next-door Huben regiment had already retreated. He couldn't help but ran to Zhou Weiguo's side, and said to him: "Weiguo, I think the Huben regiment has begun to retreat. Should we also retreat?" Is it time to hide from the guns?"

Since there were still more than 500 people in the pre-regiment, the temporarily dug bunkers on the reverse slope could not hide so many people.

In addition, Zhou Weiguo felt that the forward positions should be defended.

Immediately, the other side triumphantly said: "Notify the commander of the second battalion, let him take the second battalion to hide in the cat's ear hole, and stay and stand firm.

Everyone else, retreat to the back slope to hide! "

……

Almost the main force of the group had just retreated to the reverse slope with Zhou Weiguo, when the Japanese artillery bombardment fell on highlands 312 and 313 as promised.

To everyone's surprise, the familiar explosion did not resound from the battlefield.

On the forward position of the [-]st Regiment, the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion who were ordered to stay behind felt something was fishy, ​​and some of them got out of the cat's ear holes where they were hiding to check the situation.

Among them was Changmao Tieshan of the Second Battalion at that time. He had just emerged from the cat's ear hole and had not taken a few steps.

I saw clouds of auburn smoke spreading in all directions with the wind.

Two soldiers who also came out to check the situation suddenly became unsteady because they were relatively close to the smoke, and fell into the trench one after another.

Mao Tieshan was shocked when he saw this, and instinctively ran over to check the situation.

But when he got closer, he found that the two fallen subordinates were already foaming at the mouth and twitching continuously.

Seeing this scene, Mao Tieshan exclaimed in horror: "No, it's poison gas! The little devil used poison gas!
Quick, quick retreat! "

But it was too late, when Mao Tieshan's order was conveyed.

The poisonous gas spread, and most of the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment were poisoned one after another before they could come out of the cat ear holes.

In the end, not even fifty people followed Mao Tieshan to withdraw from the forward position, and all of them, including Mao Tieshan, had more or less symptoms of poisoning.

In this way, Mao Tieshan and dozens of other remnant soldiers of the Second Battalion stumbled to the reverse slope and fell down one after another due to the increased toxicity.

When the soldiers under his command carried Mao Tieshan to Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli, the tough man's face was covered with large, oozing blisters, and white foam was constantly coming out of his mouth. He was very miserable.

"Commander, yes, there is poisonous gas, run away!" After seeing Zhou Weiguoqiang, Mao Tieshan struggled to finish his sentence, his head tilted and he died, a heroic sacrifice.

"Commander, what should we do? Not even a single platoon of the second battalion came back alive, and the poisonous gas will soon permeate the air. Shall we withdraw?"

Seeing the brothers who fought side by side in life and death die before his eyes, Fang Shengli felt sad.

Zhou Weiguo looked at Mao Tieshan with a mournful expression, and suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and shouted: "Call the Huben Group immediately and tell them to pay attention to the devil's gas bombs.

In addition, let the brothers take out towels, soak them in water, cover their mouths and noses, and try to hide in ventilated places! "

"Yes!" Fang Shengli hurriedly took the order and left.

On the anti-slope position of 312, Liu Bohui, who was guarding the phone, couldn't help being surprised when he received a reminder call from the first regiment.

He hurriedly ran to find Xu Qingfeng, Wang Tiezhu and others. He didn't have time to salute and said: "Commander, it's not good. I'll inform the regiment in advance that the Japanese have used poison gas on us."

"How many gas masks do we have?" Xu Qingfeng was also surprised when he heard the words, and asked immediately.

"There are less than [-] left, and most of them were damaged and lost in the Battle of Moling Pass."

Wang Tiezhu, who is mainly responsible for logistics and heavy firepower, replied immediately.

"No, the first group is in danger." Xu Qingfeng said immediately: "Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, lead each company to stay and hold the position.

The guard platoon and the reconnaissance platoon brought extra gas masks and sent them to the first regiment with me. "

"Yes!" Several people responded in unison, and quickly split up and took action.

When Xu Qingfeng led more than 20 officers and soldiers from the guard platoon and reconnaissance platoon to the anti-slope position of the pre-regiment.

Zhou Weiguo and most of the officers and soldiers in the regiment had prepared wet towels and were covering their mouths and noses with them to resist the Japanese poisonous gas attack.

Those who did not have wet towels were those soldiers who had been poisoned. Xu Qingfeng checked their injuries.

After discovering the blisters on their skin, Xu Qingfeng was horrified and went straight to Zhou Weiguo and suggested to him: "Weiguo, judging from the symptoms of poisoned soldiers.

The devils should be using erosive mustard gas this time, which can poison people even if it comes into contact with the skin. It is an absolutely deadly gas.

It may be difficult to resist with a wet towel alone.

I have brought you more than 100 gas masks. You select a group of elite veterans to wear them and keep them. The others quickly ask them to withdraw from their positions to preserve their strength! "

Zhou Weiguo was startled when he heard this, and immediately shouted at Shengli: "Shengli, you take a battalion to stay, and the others immediately withdraw from the position and go to the woods behind to stand by."

"Yes!" Fang Shengli responded and immediately ran to convey Zhou Weiguo's order.

……

At the front of the Japanese position, they looked at the 312 and 313 highlands that were almost covered by their own poisonous gas.

A ghost major standing beside Yasuyuki Okamoto couldn't help but proudly said: "The special ammunition used by the artillery unit of the imperial army this time is a batch of special ammunition that was transferred from Manchukuo. It is a new type of ammunition just developed. poison gas!
It was at least three times more lethal than the original mustard gas. How could the Chinese army, which lacked protection, resist it? "

Okamoto Yasuyuki was not so optimistic, and said: "Xu Qingfeng's subordinates have gas masks, so we can't be too happy."

"The main force of Xu Qingfeng's troops was severely damaged by the imperial army in the battle of Moling Pass, and now there are only a few hundred people.

And in the battle last night, they also lost a lot, so there is nothing to fear.

It is impossible for Zhou Weiguo's advance group to be equipped with gas masks.

As long as we can severely damage them, the few hundred remaining soldiers under Xu Qingfeng's command will be defeated by the imperial army. "

After hearing his analysis, Okamoto Yasuyuki relaxed his frown slightly and said, "I hope so!"

At this time, another adjutant asked for instructions: "Sir, the poison gas bombs have basically covered the Chinese army's positions. Can the offensive troops start attacking?"

"Yeah." Okamoto Yasuyuki nodded and said solemnly: "Order the attacking troops. This time, we must take down the defensive positions!"

Three minutes later, thousands of Japanese infantrymen wearing gas masks, wielding bayonets as the two Japanese captains waved their sabers, launched a new attack on the positions of the Huben Regiment and the Pre-First Regiment respectively.

On the anti-slope position of the First Regiment, Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli, Xu Hu and the remaining more than 100 officers and soldiers all wore gas masks.

After calling Wang Tiezhu on the opposite side and asking him to lead his troops back to the forward position to meet the enemy.

Xu Qingfeng also took Chen Qifeng, Wang Changgui and more than 20 officers and soldiers, together with Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu and other officers and soldiers of the pre-regiment left the reverse slope, and quickly ran back to the front line covered by the poisonous gas.

When Xu Qingfeng and the others entered the bunkers in the forward position, the devil's attacking troops had already advanced to the position of 200 meters, and launched a rapid charge.

Because they were wearing gas masks, all the Japanese soldiers remained silent during the charge and basically did not make any killing calls.

Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others opened fire directly in a tacit understanding, mobilizing more than a hundred soldiers who stayed behind to block the Japanese army.

As soon as the gunfire rang out here, on the 312 Highland next door, Wang Tiezhu, Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian, Lei Xiong and others also took the lead in opening fire.

More than 300 officers and soldiers of the Huben regiment also pulled the trigger one after another, and also launched a tenacious resistance to the Japanese army.

For a time, gunfire erupted again on heights 312 and 313, which were filled with poisonous gas, and bullets rained down like rain.

The Japanese soldiers wearing gas masks fell down one after another after being hit by the dense rain of bullets.

But more devils, stepping over the corpses of their companions, continued to rush forward without fear of death.

While charging forward, they concentrated all kinds of firepower and fired back crazily at the Huben and Yuyi regiments.

As the Japanese troops advanced one after another, superior forces took turns to attack fiercely regardless of the cost of casualties.

Fortunately, the Tiger Regiment had more than 300 people relying on dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and could barely block the Japanese attack.

But it is much more dangerous for a group of more than 100 people.

Although under the leadership of Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others, the more than 100 officers and soldiers who stayed behind fired with all their might.

However, the huge gap in firepower and military strength still caused the Japanese army to get closer and closer.

After the two sides fought fiercely for more than 30 minutes, they saw that the Japanese army was about to break into their own trenches.

Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo looked at each other, and each took the lead in jumping out of the trench with a medium-sized rifle with a bayonet attached, and launched a countercharge against the swarming Japanese troops.

Upon seeing this, more than 100 officers and soldiers, including Chen Qifeng, Xu Hu, Fang Shengli, and Wang Changgui, drew out their bayonets and loaded them into their guns.

While holding a gun, he rushed out of the trench, followed the two of them, and launched a counterattack against the Japanese army.

Not long after, the two troops collided fiercely, and fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out.

Seeing that the 313 Highlands on the right wing had made a breakthrough, Okamoto Yasuyuki immediately sent more than 1000 people to try to defeat Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo in hand-to-hand combat and seize the 313 Highlands first.

Once they succeed, they can not only move heavy firepower such as artillery and heavy machine guns to Highland 313, but also more advantageously conduct fire blockade and suppression on Highland 312.

It can even send troops to turn around and outflank the defenders on the 312 Heights from the rear.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 312 and 313 highlands are closely related, as long as one place is lost, the other will be difficult to defend for a long time.

It turned out that Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu, and Chen Qifeng relied on their own bravery to lead more than a hundred soldiers in a small charge against the Japanese counterattack.

Killed hundreds of Japs vanguard troops, slightly stabilized the position, and curbed the Japs' offensive momentum.

However, with Okamoto Yasuyuki's increase in troops, thousands of new Japanese troops poured into the battlefield and joined the battle.

The situation began to deteriorate rapidly, Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and the others were immediately besieged by enemies ten times their size.

Fortunately, Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu and others were able to fight and deal with the Japanese with their outstanding personal skills and stabbing skills.

Other fighters are much more dangerous. As soon as Chang Chang overthrows a devil, he will be besieged to death by two, three, or even more devils. The battle is very cruel.

At this critical moment, an overwhelming shout suddenly sounded from behind Highland 313.

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli and others, who were already fighting and covered in blood, looked back after killing the enemies in front of them.

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Preliminary Regiment were seen swarming in with bayonets in hand and fearless of death.

Only a few of them wore wet towels, but they also fell to the ground in the running.

Xu Hu roared excitedly: "Regimental Commander, it's the Third Battalion Commander and the others, they rushed over with poison gas!"

It turned out that the third battalion commander was worried about the safety of Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli and Xu Qingfeng.

Worried that they would be outnumbered, he risked poisoning and rushed back with his troops without hesitation.

Looking at those own officers and soldiers who faced the poisonous gas and rushed towards them without fear.

Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo both couldn't help but have red eyes. Many of them were still only seventeen or eighteen years old, with childish looks on their faces.

At this moment, they held bayonets, followed their commanders and companions, and rushed back to the battlefield without hesitation.

This group of young people who may have to rely on their parents to support and pamper them in future generations have well explained with practical actions what Chinese soldiers are!

With the addition of more than 1000 main troops from the Pre-First Regiment, the battlefield situation suddenly reversed.

The soldiers of the national army with high morale, led by Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others, after a bloody battle, severely damaged the Japanese attacking troops.

In particular, the Japs all wore gas masks and their sight was blocked during hand-to-hand combat, while the main force of the more than 1000 advance guard had a wide field of vision.

Under the influence of various unfavorable factors, there are usually three or two people who can't do one devil soldier.

Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and the others suppressed them to the end. They lost their armor and armor and retreated in disarray.

When they discovered that their own attacking troops were defeated by the Chinese defenders in hand-to-hand combat despite their superior strength, they retreated in such an embarrassing manner, not to mention heavy losses.

Okamoto Yasuyuki, who originally had great hopes, was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he roared furiously and cursed: "Waste! A bunch of waste! They are all idiots!"

The Japs on the 313 side were defeated, and the Japs attacking troops on the 312 Highland side, which had been intercepted and blocked by the Tiger and Ben regiments and could not break through, were also demoralized and retreated back like a tide.

As soon as the Japs were repulsed, Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo did not bother to clean up the battlefield and immediately ordered their troops to retreat.

When they withdrew to the anti-slope position behind them, it suddenly started pouring rain.

Not long after, the poisonous Japanese gas in the air was completely dispersed.

But at this moment, many of the pre-regiment officers and soldiers who had inhaled the poisonous gas inevitably showed symptoms of poisoning.

Just now, with their passion and fearlessness, they joined the battle and defeated the Japanese before the poison gas took effect.

Now that the poisonous gas is gradually taking effect, various horrific situations begin to occur frequently.

Many soldiers did not fall on the way to charge, but they were tortured by the devil's poisonous gas.

Among them, Wang Zheng, the commander of the third battalion of Yuyi Regiment, was the worst, because not only did he inhale the poisonous gas of the devils.

While still in hand-to-hand combat, he was stabbed in the abdomen by a Japanese second lieutenant who made a desperate counterattack.

In this case, his poisoning reaction was faster and more violent than others.

When the rain poured down, half of his body was stained red with blood.

Zhou Weiguo took the lead in taking off the gas mask, took out his own towel to cover the wound for him, and made the last effort.

Wang Zheng looked at Zhou Weiguo and Xu Qingfeng standing next to him with a painful expression, and said with force, "Captain, I, I'm going to die..."

"Stop saying something unlucky, Commander of the Third Battalion, you must support me, this is an order!" Zhou Weiguo couldn't bear it any longer, tears welled up in his eyes, and shouted in a crying voice.

"Leader, take the brothers to withdraw, we can't stand it anymore, if the fight continues, all the brothers will die here..."

Wang Zheng looked at Zhou Weiguo with expectant eyes and said his last words in this world.

Seeing him dying, Zhou Weiguo was stunned for a moment and did not get up.

Xu Qingfeng knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he just patted him on the shoulder and turned to Xu Hu, Fang Shengli and others and ordered: "Calculate the casualties. Brothers who have been poisoned, and those with mild symptoms will be sent back." Nanjing treatment.

Don’t send it to those who are seriously poisoned! "

Xu Hu and Fang Shengli were worried about Zhou Weiguo and did not take the order immediately.

Zhou Weiguo stood up at this moment, and said solemnly: "Go."

"Yes!" The two of them responded, turned around and took the order to leave.

About ten minutes later, Xu Hu left and returned despite the heavy rain. He stood at attention and saluted Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo: "Regiment leader, Chief Xu, there are currently 350 brothers who are showing symptoms of poisoning, including those wearing gas masks." Seven people."

Zhou Weiguo glanced at Xu Qingfeng and ordered Xu Hu: "Gather these people together and shrink them into an independent battalion, and prepare to continue to block the attack!"

"Yes!" Xu Hu responded and immediately took the order and left.

About 10 minutes later, the Japanese retaliatory artillery fire arrived as scheduled.

Due to the heavy rain, the killing effect of the Japanese gas bombs was affected.

They switched back to conventional artillery shells this time, plowing the ground with shells one by one, covering the forward positions of bombing 313 and 312 back and forth.

Xu Hu and Fang Shengli, who had already downsized their troops, came to Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo.

Listening to the rumble of artillery coming from the forward position, feeling the trembling of the mountain below.

Fang Shengli said to Zhou Weiguo: "Guo Wei, there are only less than 400 people left in our regiment, and the position may not be able to be defended."

Zhou Weiguo said with a stern expression: "If you can't hold on, you have to hold on. Otherwise, how can you go back to see the folks in Nanjing City?"

Fang Shengli nodded silently, his eyes became more determined.

More than half an hour later, the Japanese bombardment stopped. Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo immediately led the troops out of the anti-slope position, and under the cover of the heavy rain, they quietly returned to the scattered forward position that was bombed.

After everyone was deployed and waiting for the Japanese attack, Fang Shengli, who happened to be not far from Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo, suddenly murmured to himself: "We died here today, do you think anyone will remember us?"

Xu Qingfeng's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Fang Shengli who was looking into the distance, and then looked back at Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu who were also in a daze.

It seemed that Fang Shengli's words aroused doubts among them.

Yes, we shed blood and sacrificed today, and paid such a heavy price. In order to defend the city of Nanjing, the whole regiment died here. Will future generations remember us?

They will remember that in order to prevent them from being subjugated slaves and being enslaved by others, has anyone ever shed their blood for them?

There is a saying that goes well, veterans are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of being forgotten!

Especially forgotten by the people they bled and sacrificed for, and who risked their lives to protect.

Xu Qingfeng immediately raised his voice, and said firmly: "No! Never!"

“What we did today will never be forgotten!

Not only will it not be forgotten, but it will also be passed down from generation to generation by future compatriots.

Maybe they don't remember that we lost our lives, but they must remember that when the country was in crisis and the nation was in danger.

There are countless good Chinese men who have stood up, fought bravely for the enemy, and sacrificed their lives heroically!

We all have a common name, that is Chinese soldiers! "

As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated with Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu, Fang Shengli and others, and they all nodded silently.

Xu Qingfeng paused, and then continued: "To tell you the truth, I had a dream when I was resting. I dreamed about what China will look like in the future."

"Oh?" Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli and others all asked curiously, "What will China look like in the future?"

"I dream that our country will become the most powerful and richest country in the world.

In that era, we not only had our own powerful armed forces, but also owned skyscrapers and cars.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has food to eat, everyone has access to medical care, and they will never go hungry again, and they will never lose their lives just because of a small cold!

The most important thing is that we will never be bullied by foreigners or looked down upon by others.

No one dares to invade us anymore, and no one dares to call us the sick men of East Asia! "

Zhou Weiguo and others listened with longing expressions on their faces, and said full of expectation: "If such a day comes, why would brothers and I have any regrets even if we die today?"

"Yes!" Fang Shengli nodded in agreement: "If this is really the case, we will die without regrets!"

"Unfortunately, this is just a beautiful dream after all!"

Xu Qingfeng said firmly: "As long as we are not afraid of sacrifice and dare to fight the Japanese devils to the end.

Sooner or later, we will drive them out of China.

By then, future generations will surely be able to build a powerful, prosperous and free new China!
Believe me, it will! "

"That's right!" Zhou Weiguo took a Chinese official, held it in his hand, and said in a stern voice, "We are fighting the devils desperately now, and the young people in the future will be desperately building, Brother Qingfeng's dream will definitely come true! "

PS: As you can probably tell, the Battle of Nanjing is coming to an end, so writing is a bit slow today.

Because it involves the connection of the next plot, I only have these [-] words today. I owe everyone a thousand, which will be made up for in subsequent updates.

Also, some readers left messages saying, why would you write if it doesn’t change the Nanjing Massacre?

In fact, I really have a hard time talking about it. Old readers who often read military affairs should know that history cannot be changed.

If I really write that way, this book will be gone.

So, please bear with me, I will try my best to write the code words and make the next plot more exciting.

Finally, I would like to thank China and G for their great support, thank you!
