Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

As for the north gate, the terrain is more dangerous than the south gate, with high mountains to the west and canyons to the east. The area where the devils move and move is only a dirt road less than 10 meters wide.Moreover, they planted countless landmines on the road last night. Judging from the strength of only one brigade at the north gate, Jiang Haoran estimated that this brigade must be the garrison of Jiujiang, and the Japanese troops transferred overnight must go to Panyang Lake for support' The division has gone, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the fact that Xue Yue's First Corps could not wipe out a division without a command system.If it was just a garrison brigade, there would definitely be no heavy weapons. Even if the devil's aerial bombs blew up the city wall into ruins, the fallen stones on the city wall would never be turned into powder and blown away by the wind.Yin Donglai's assault battalion still has something to rely on. Although it is inferior in terms of strength, it has an absolute advantage in firepower and terrain. There should be no problem in holding on.

Jiang Haoran ordered Chen Yihan to send a report to Xu Biao. If it is confirmed that there is no heavy firepower from the Japanese army at the north gate, aim all the muzzles at the Japanese army at the south gate, and be ready to fire at any time. The signal to fire is still a red signal flare.

If the North Gate does not have heavy weapons as Jiang Haoran wished, Jiang Haoran believes that at least the devils will not be able to break through Mahuiling today, so that the artillery battalion will be less of a threat, and it is impossible for the Japanese planes to be in the sky all the time, catching This opportunity is the same as the attack on Suzuki United yesterday, and the Japanese army in the south may not look good.Of course, this opportunity can only be used when the city is broken. Even if the enemy in the south is wiped out today, the devil's plane will definitely clean up the artillery barracks.If the artillery battalion exists for one more day, the backbone of the Nanshan Independent Brigade will still be there, the morale of the soldiers will be there, and there will be hope.

At this time, more than a dozen guards came in one after another, holding gas masks in their hands or hanging on their shoulders. Because the tunnel entrance was blocked by wet quilts, and the poisonous gas was rising, there was no poisonous gas in the tunnel.These dozen or so people were sent by Jiang Haoran to deliver letters to the north and south gates. They saw that other brothers had gone up to the south gate, so they came in to ask for a fight.

Jiang Haoran asked about the situation outside, and was told that the ghost plane dropped a large number of mustard gas bombs in the town, the north and south walls were severely destroyed, and all ministries had already entered the battle position, but the enemy just set up an attack formation and did not launch an attack.

The guard company is the king of soldiers who came down from Nanshan Mountain, so they will naturally not admit to the devil's gas bombs.Mustard gas is an erosive poisonous gas that has effects on the eyes, respiratory tract, and skin. Once in contact with it, it can cause skin ulceration, breathing difficulties, general weakness, and loss of combat effectiveness in a short period of time.The conscience-stricken Japanese army, at the beginning of the war of aggression against China, used this kind of poison gas bombs on the Chinese people in large quantities once the battle situation was hindered.It was used more than 300 times in the Wuhan battle alone.As for the devils not attacking yet, Jiang Haoran reckoned that they wanted to wait for the poisonous gas to dissipate, after all devils didn't want to inhale such things.

The guard company's call for battle was not approved, and these dozen or so people have now become Jiang Haoran's last reserve force.After all, there is still a headquarters here. In case of an emergency, it is impossible to transfer people back from the battlefield.

"Boom, boom, boom" the deafening explosion sounded without warning.Judging from the sound, it can be concluded that the south gate was attacked by the devil's shells, and the explosions were loud and small, although they were messy, they were dense.Jiang Haoran listened intently for a long time, but he didn't hear his own machine guns and rifles firing. If it wasn't suppressed by the devil's artillery fire, the devil didn't rush forward despite the artillery fire.Originally, he had to wait for Liu He to come back before going out, but now he couldn't wait any longer.Order a few staff officers to collect the battle reports from various positions, and send the matter to the front line urgently, but wait for Liu He to come back to deal with it.Regardless of the dissuasion of the staff officers and Chen Yihan, he took a gas mask from a guard and put it on, and rushed out with two guards.

Faint yellow smoke can still be seen in the town, which shows that the mustard gas has not completely dissipated.Amidst the deafening explosion, the houses were crumbling.The entire South Gate has been completely enveloped in artillery fire, and the rising black smoke clouds really block out the sky and the sun.The degree of damage to the city wall was worse than Jiang Haoran imagined. The city gate had completely collapsed. The three-meter-high city wall had very few places that could be seen at two meters high. Many places were directly a gap two or three meters wide. , in the town, you can see the tanks lined up by the devils, spitting out shells continuously, soldiers flying up and down from the artillery fire from time to time, and even a few were half buried under the rocks, with the upper half of their bodies desperately thrown out climb.Although you can't see your face with a mask on, the panic and helplessness are easily reminiscent.Most of the soldiers were curled up under the ruins of the city wall. The flying shrapnel and gravel made them dare not stand up at all. Only a few light machine guns and [-] large caps were thrown out from time to time by using the limited gap of artillery fire. a few shots.

It made Jiang Haoran very surprised that the devil's shells still hadn't entered the town, all the shells were lobbed at the city wall area, and even the tanks fired at the remnants of the city wall that still stood.

On the front line of the original headquarters, there was another trench. Yuan Dongzheng commanded the soldiers to bury their heads in digging, and the soil that was constantly turned over made the trench take shape.Because the city wall was destroyed by the aerial bombs of the plane, after the mobile battalion went up, the troops could no longer take advantage of the favorable terrain to turn away, so Liu Dakun, Yuan Dong and Su Peng discussed and set up this second line of defense. Because of this, the sharp knife battalion No losses were incurred.

Yuan Dong suddenly saw a man carrying the rank of colonel enter the trench, and knew that it was Jiang Haoran who came. Although Jiang Haoran is now the brigade commander of a major general, there is no way to change his uniform, so he immediately took off his gas mask and went to meet him. Shouted loudly: "Traveler, why did you come here? Go back, it's too dangerous here!"

Jiang Haoran threw off the gas mask, ignored Yuan Dong's suggestion, and said loudly, "What's going on ahead?"

"Two tanks of the Devils were blown up by petrol bombs, stopped advancing, kept suppressing us with artillery fire, and sent a large number of engineers to start mine clearance. The casualties of the mobile battalion are estimated to be nearly half. This battle is not easy to fight.

"It's not easy to fight, you have to fight! If you fight all the way ahead, you have to defend this line of defense for me!" Jiang Haoran took a handful of [-] caps from a soldier, and took them from the ammunition box. He grabbed two magazines and stuffed them into his pockets.Leaping out of the trench, he swung his arms and rushed forward.

Yuan Dong was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly jumped out of the trench and grabbed Jiang Haoran: "Traveler, what are you doing, this can't be done! Come back??????"

Jiang Haoran threw Yuan Dong away, and angrily said to him with a ferocious face: "How dare you disobey my order?"

Yuan Dong immediately stayed there and didn't dare to move anymore, because Jiang Haoran had already pulled the bolt of the gun in a hurry, and if he still stopped him like this, he might really shoot.I had no choice but to watch Jiang Haoran and the two guards go deep into the artillery fire.

Jiang Haoran has no choice but to do so. The morale of the mobile battalion is obviously insufficient. Except for Liu Dakun, Su Peng and a dozen veterans of the guard company who are still resisting there, the others dare not stand out. The landmines should be cleared away. Once the devil's tanks are free of obstacles, he can only use the artillery battalion. If there is no problem today, the entire army should be wiped out tomorrow.
