"F * ck, I miscalculated." When Zhou Weiguo arrived at the 6th division's headquarters, he saw the map left behind by the retreating Japanese and frowned.
"What's wrong with the regiment commander?" Xu Hu asked.
"Look at the markings here. The Japanese have three divisions heading towards Nanjing. If we move to Zhonghua Gate at this time, we will definitely encounter these three divisions. With our current strength, we will definitely not be able to defeat the three divisions of the Japanese.”Zhou Weiguo pointed at the map and said.
Fortunately, they managed to take down the Japanese's command center and obtain the map. Otherwise, if they charged over directly, they would definitely be occupied by the Japanese.
"Then what should we do? The morale of the soldiers is high now. They are all clamoring to go to Zhonghua Gate and fight the devils to the death.”Xu Hu said anxiously.
"Call Wang Wenshi over." After a minute, Zhou Weiguo said to Xu Hu.
Soon, Wang Wenshi arrived at the Japanese command center. Zhou Weiguo pointed at the map and said.
"To make a long story short, the situation has changed. The Japanese have three divisions moving towards Zhonghua Gate. The target of the sneak attack has been exposed. The sneak attack plan has been canceled.”
"Commander, if this is the case, our difficulty will increase by a lot, and there will be huge casualties.”Wang Wenshi said with a frown.
"The current situation is critical and we have no other choice. China Gate can't hold on any longer and there's no time to discuss. I have a plan. You take the 4th Battalion and take a shortcut. However, I don't have much confidence, so I can only give it a try.”Zhou Weiguo briefly explained his thoughts.
"Regiment Commander, Zhonghua Gate is in a state of emergency. We can't hold on much longer. The people there are unstable and will probably collapse soon. The situation is already very critical.”The signalman ran in and said hurriedly.
"Battalion Commander Wang, I'll leave this place to you. Your task is to wait for an opportunity to strike.”Zhou Weiguo hurriedly said to Wang Wenshi.
After saying that, Zhou Weiguo ran out and shouted at Xu Hu,"Xu Hu, inform the troops immediately. Have the 3rd and 5th battalions gather immediately. They must run to Zhonghua Gate within 10 minutes.”
"Yes, sir!" Xu Hu replied loudly.
………
The Zhonghua Gate, which was once the pride of Nanjing, had been razed to the ground in many places. There were collapsed rocks everywhere. Planes and cannons had already blown the gate tower into pieces.
Even the city gate tower was only left with half of it, and there was a burning smell everywhere.
After an hour of bombardment, Zhang Lingfu led the 305th Regiment to retreat to the Zhonghua Gate wall. The original outer positions had all been taken by the Japanese.
Zhang Lingfu was wearing a soldier's uniform and a German helmet. He held a telescope in his hand and kept looking at the Japanese camp outside expressionlessly.
When five black dots appeared in the telescope, Zhang Lingfu's face instantly darkened.
"It's this group of bastards again." Zhang Lingfu gritted his teeth and cursed.
Having taken down all the outer positions, the Japanese immediately sent out their Type 95 tanks, wanting to take down Zhonghua Gate in one fell swoop.
There was no need to introduce the Type 95 tank too much. A tank that could be penetrated by a heavy machine gun would be called a tank. It would be more appropriate to call it a combat vehicle.
However, in the Nanjing battlefield, it was still a big killing machine, especially for the Nanjing defenders who lacked anti-tank weapons. This thing was simply a nightmare.
Other than using human lives to fill it, there was no other way.
In the past few days of defending the city, his 305th Regiment had suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of soldiers had been killed by the tanks.
"Order, prepare the suicide squad." Looking at the tanks in the distance, Zhang Lingfu gritted his teeth and shouted with red eyes.
The five suicide squad soldiers who had been waiting for a long time stood up and came to Zhang Lingfu's side without saying a word, quietly waiting for orders.
Looking at these young soldiers, Zhang Lingfu's tears could not help but fall.
Even Zhang Lingfu, who was used to seeing life and death, could not help but cry when he saw these young faces.
They were all good men, but he had no choice at the moment.
"How old are our brothers?"
“17。”
“18。”
“20。”
“16。”
“23。”
When Zhang Lingfu heard these people mention their ages at the same time, his heart could not help but twitch. However, he still smiled and said,"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"There's nothing much to say. I just hope that after I die, the officer will give those military salaries to my mother.”A young warrior said after a moment of hesitation.
The others also nodded, indicating that they all had the same idea.
"Don't worry, I will give your families every cent of the military pay.”Zhang Lingfu's eyes instantly welled up. He had been in the army for so many years, but he had never fought such an aggrieved battle.
After saying that, he turned around and did not look at these people. He was afraid that he could not help but cry, but for the sake of victory, he had to make sacrifices.
"Sir, take care. I will be your soldier in my next life.”With that, a soldier rushed out with a grenade in his hand.
The other four warriors also shouted and rushed into the distance.
Soon, five explosions sounded, and Zhang Lingfu could no longer hold back his tears.
