Chapter 641 Breakthrough (Eighteen)
Fang Shuhong's complexion is very bad, no wonder he, one division, two brigades and six regiments, nearly 8000 people, lost more than 1000 people in just one day and night, and added more than 50.00 wounded. The little devil's regiment and the loss in the city, the battle damage of his division has exceeded [-]%, how can this make him feel better.

Ouyang Yun went all the way to meet him: "Mr. Fang! How's the front going? How long do you think you can last?"

Fang Shuhong did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Commander, is it our turn to cross the river?"

"Yes."

Fang Shuhong frowned, turned around and looked at the flickering battlefield, and said, "Should we just leave a regiment for defense?"

"Three regiments, Jiangsu Security Division [-] will keep two regiments. The Japanese army on Shan Renxiong's side also suffered heavy losses. He will transfer a regiment to fill your defense line."

"That should drag us across the river."

"Let's go!"

"Where's Brigadier Shan? Haven't come back yet?"

"Don't wait for him, let's go first. We only have so many boats, and it's unrealistic to cross the river together. Don't worry about him because he was a single brigade commander from special forces."

Fang Shuhong remained silent, turned back and looked towards the direction of the battlefield again, feeling sad in his heart, and secretly said: "Brothers, you can go away with peace of mind. I, Fang Shuhong, swear that one day I will pay back ten times your revenge from the little Japanese." return."

Ten minutes later, Ouyang Yun and Fang Shuhong boarded the boat crossing the river.Standing at the bow of the boat, Ouyang Yun looked at the direction where Shan Renxiong was stationed. He saw the fireballs caused by the explosion flickering differently, and the dull explosion sound was even more earth-shattering. His complexion became a little heavy.

Ouyang Yun believed that with the abilities of the single hero and the special forces of the Broadsword Regiment, they would have no problem getting out.The problem is, once he worries that his departure will affect the safety of the entire defense line, he will definitely choose to stay.At that time, once the Japanese army breaks through the defense line of the [-]th Division and forms a double sandwich, it will be difficult for him to escape even if he has superb skills.

I don't know if the Japanese army noticed something, but shortly after Ouyang Yun and the others boarded the ship, the Japanese gunboat cruising on the water in Xiaguan fired again, and half of the shells were directed at the position where Shan Renxiong was stationed.

Shan Renxiong is a fierce general, although he is only a deputy brigade commander now, but in Ouyang Yun's heart, his status is no worse than that of He Zheng who is downgraded to the rank of division commander and Yiren.

Xu Shi saw the worry in his heart, Fang Shuhong said softly: "Commander, this round of shelling by the Japanese gunboats is quite sharp! Could it be that they want to put all their eggs in one basket and break through in one fell swoop?"

"There is a possibility that the night is beneficial to us after all. The Japanese army must be afraid of long nights and dreams."

As Ouyang Yun expected, Matsui Iwane was worried that Ye Changmeng would let him go, so he ordered the troops besieging Nanjing to fight overnight, hoping to break the deadlock in one fell swoop.

On the eastern defense line of Xiaguan Wharf, Shan Renxiong sat in the trench with his back facing the direction of the Japanese attacking army, and quickly loaded bullets into the magazine.The density of Japanese shelling this round was unprecedented. For large-caliber naval guns, the trenches they dug in their spare time during the battle were like paper.At this time, dodging is useless, the key is to see everyone's luck.Take Shan Renxiong as an example, he has been staying here since eight o'clock in the evening, but he didn't get a single cannonball's favor.And thanks to him, the old ruffians from the First Security Division and the two brothers from the Broadsword Group who stayed near him had never been bombed.

Shan Renxiong was thinking about it while reloading the bullet.

The combat effectiveness of the First Security Division in Jiangsu is really bad. Fortunately, I saw the opportunity early and asked the commander for a regiment of Sichuan soldiers to come to the town. Otherwise, the First Security Division must have collapsed at this time.Thinking of Sichuan soldiers, he looked to the left, and there was a platoon of Sichuan soldiers stationed there.He was not optimistic about these Sichuan soldiers. Why, the equipment is really bad. From this, the quality of the soldiers must be mediocre.Although the commander later helped them replace the equipment from the inside to the outside, but what does it matter?The so-called change the soup but not the medicine.Just because of this knot, Shan Renxiong didn't give the commander of the Sichuan Army Wang Youcai a good look when he first saw the support army, and even slandered Ouyang Yun for such an arrangement, thinking that the commander was fooling himself.Of course, he doesn't have such thoughts now.The military quality of these Sichuan soldiers is really not very good, but they are willing to work hard!Moreover, the morale is high, not only the morale of your own troops is high, but also the morale of your allies. Don't you see, as long as they shout: "Ge Laozi! Fight!" They also followed up with the "嗤嗤", a group of guys who looked like turkeys, and now they are playing decently.ha!The so-called people cannot be judged by their appearance and the sea cannot be measured, is it also appropriate to use it on the battlefield?Now it seems that it is fortunate that the commander sent this group of "Ge Laozi", otherwise-"Brothers cheer up! The little devil is fighting again!" Shan Renxiong was still thinking, when suddenly there was a violent sound from the left. Drink, and then, the sound of the explosion suddenly stopped.At the same time, the gunfire became more intense.

"This Wang Youcai's voice is really good!" Shan Renxiong joked in his heart. He had already turned around and lay down on the edge of the trench. When he looked up, he saw the devils rushing towards him densely under the flare, and he also yelled: "Security guards!" The turtle son of the division, just now the Sichuan soldiers won a lottery, and this time it is our turn to work hard! Brothers, beat him up." He roared, and his hands were unambiguous, and the gun pointed Going out, "Da Da" spewed out flames, facing the devils rushing towards him, and several people immediately fell down.

The battle was fought hard.The devils on the opposite side often come to charge in a group. Just half an hour ago, he was talking on the phone with Ouyang Yun, and the devils rushed over in overwhelming numbers. Moreover, they waited until they were within 30 meters of them before firing flares. .At that time, if Wang Youcai hadn't decisively led his brothers out of the trenches to fight the opponent with bayonets, this line of defense must have been lost.

On the phone, Ouyang Yun asked him to leave a regiment for defense and lead the others to evacuate and prepare to cross the river.However, the situation here does not allow him to do so.Not to mention that it is difficult to designate which regiment to stay behind, even if the officers and soldiers of the regiment are united and willing to die for the country, the question is, can they withstand the charge of the size of the little devil?You know, no regiment has more than five hundred soldiers now.It really hurts to think about it. Including the Sichuan Corps, there were a total of more than [-] people on the battlefield, but until now, there are only less than [-] left, and there are still about [-] wounded soldiers.Commander, although you had the foresight to dig out the tiger pretending to be a pig from Sichuan soldiers before, but now, you misjudged the situation here.

Single ambition once again slandered Ouyang Yun, kept his hands on, and pulled the trigger repeatedly. After knocking down three more devils, he finally repelled this round of Japanese attack again.

It's not easy for the single heroes, and it's not easy for the devils of the Marine Corps on the opposite side. No, there is no more regiment. From the afternoon to the present, there are only half of the devils in this regiment left.

The fierce battle lasted for more than six hours. Not to mention the heavy losses, the soldiers on both sides were actually exhausted.And the reason why they can persevere until now is because the defenders have a sigh of relief, but the Japanese army is because there is huge hope shining ahead.Of course, no matter how pleasing the hope and how bright the prospect is, the little devils have lost their momentum.Like now, the attack was repulsed within a quarter of an hour, and in the afternoon, the longest fight between the two sides lasted for nearly an hour!

The sky was getting darker, and on the river, the gunboats of the Third Fleet had already begun to slowly withdraw from the battlefield.On the water of Shimonoseki, the Japanese gunboats are not invincible.The few self-propelled artillery of the Xuebing Army may not be enough to pose a threat, but the two gunboats captured from the Japanese army can give it a fatal blow at any time.Just now, the two ships bombarded a Japanese ship as if they had negotiated, almost sinking the gunboat.The commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, should still be reluctant to give up the two gunboats. Therefore, feeling that he had already grasped the situation of the battle, he resolutely chose to withdraw from the battle because he didn't want his gunboats to lose any more.

Shan Renxiong didn't notice the abnormality of the Third Fleet at first. Out of inertia, after repelling the Japanese attack, he inspected the position and dealt with some special situations. Squeeze bullets, wipe guns.

At this time, Ouyang Yun had crossed the river safely.Then, he noticed the abnormality of the Japanese Third Fleet.

Fang Shuhong also noticed this, and he said to Ouyang Yun: "Strange, the little devil's fleet has retreated! Are they afraid of fighting at night?"

Ouyang Yun also felt strange, in order to confirm the situation, he called Cai Xing.After getting confirmation from Cai Xing, he immediately reported the situation to Shan Renxiong and asked him to retreat at an opportunity.

When Shan Renxiong got the news, he was also very surprised. He quickly ran to the end of the trench near the river, picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the Japanese army's retreat. He saw faint lights floating downstream, and he knew that the Japanese fleet had indeed retreated. , He, who was originally determined to die, couldn't help but feel alive.

This is indeed a good opportunity to retreat, and it can even be said that the shop will disappear after this village.On the back line of defense, the fighting was still fierce, and according to the commander, only one regiment of the [-]th Division stayed there.That is to say, it is a matter of time before one is broken through, and once the back side is broken through, and one's own side is attacked on both sides, the only way to survive is to jump into the Yangtze River.

Um!Take a gamble!
