Different from Zhang Lingfu's crying scene, cheers rang out from the Zhonghua Gate camp.
After all, after taking out five Japanese tanks at once, the Japanese who had suffered heavy losses would definitely need to rest and reorganize their forces to attack again. This way, the troops could take a breather.
However, this time, the Japanese seemed to have gone crazy. Seeing that they had lost five tanks, they did not retreat. Instead, they sent another five tanks to continue attacking Guanghua Gate.
Especially when they were very close to Zhonghua Gate's position, they immediately got into position. The tank cannons continuously bombarded the position, and the machine guns were also crazily firing.
For a moment, the warriors who were caught off guard were directly shot into a sieve.
Seeing the Japanese so brazenly wreaking havoc, Zhang Lingfu was so angry that his veins bulged.
"Sir, organize another group of suicide squads. I don't believe that the Japanese have so many tanks to consume.”the chief of staff advised.
"No need, the Japanese are already prepared. Look at the infantry behind those tanks. Even if they form a suicide squad, they will only be sending themselves to death.”Zhang Lingfu shook his head and refused. The suicide squad used surprise. Now that the Japanese had discovered it, it would be a waste of time to go.
"Yes, sir!" The chief of staff was a little unwilling, but he knew that sending more suicide squads would only be a waste.
………
Since Lieutenant General Nakajima Jinsaigo of the 16th division of the Guizi Army found out about the incident at the neighboring Guanghua Gate, he had been worried about the Guizi Army.
He was a little worried that the other party's reinforcements would come and pincer attack him from the front and back. At that time, he would be in danger.
After all, any combat troops were afraid of being attacked from two fronts. Once they were surrounded, the morale of the attacking troops would be affected, and it would be very difficult to raise the morale of the troops.
Just as he was worried that his rear would be attacked, the headquarters sent a telegram. After reading the contents of the telegram, he was instantly relieved.
"Chief of Staff, immediately withdraw the troops in the rear and immediately attack Zhonghua Gate. We must take down Nanjing as soon as possible.”
"Major General, what's wrong? Didn't you arrange for troops to guard the rear? Why did you suddenly move to the front to attack the Chinese people at Zhonghua Gate?”The chief of staff asked in confusion.
"That was indeed the case at the beginning, but it was to prevent the enemy from ambushing our rear, but there's no need for that now. The headquarters just sent me a telegram, saying that there are already three divisions rushing towards us at night, so there's no need to guard the rear. If the Chinese really dare to attack our rear, as long as we hold on, the three divisions will surround us and the Chinese will be like a turtle in a jar.”Nakajima Kinago said with a smile.
"I see. Regiment Commander Nakajima is indeed a mighty figure. When the time comes, the credit of taking down Nanjing City first can be said to be a huge contribution.”The chief of staff flattered.
"Hahaha, thank you for your kind words, but to prevent any accidents, get the 19th Brigade to place a large team at the back and be on guard.”To be on the safe side, Nakajima Kinigo left a large group to defend the rear.
"Regiment Commander, the Japanese are charging at us again. We can't hold on much longer.”A soldier ran over and said to Zhang Lingfu.
"Motherf * cker, why would the Japanese send more troops at this time?”Zhang Lingfu hurriedly picked up his binoculars to observe the situation.
"Regiment Commander, this Japanese is like a cockroach that can't be killed.”The chief of staff cursed angrily.
"Nanjing City can't be defended anymore. After we defend it this time, take our brothers and retreat. The 305th Regiment can't all die here.”
"Retreat? Where should we retreat to? Do we have to learn from those heartless things? Abandon Nanjing? Abandon hundreds of thousands of people? If that's the case, then what's the difference between us and those beasts? I'd rather die in battle than retreat.”Zhang Lingfu said resolutely.
"Regiment Commander, how can you be so muddle-headed? Retreating doesn't mean that we're not resisting the Japanese. We can continue to fight the Japanese in the rear.”the chief of staff said anxiously.
"No, you don't have to say anything. I've made up my mind. I won't retreat unless the devil steps over me.”Zhang Lingfu rejected.
Seeing Zhang Lingfu's determined look, the chief of staff did not say anything else.
"Brother Shou Ren, I know that you are doing this for my own good, but this time, the Japanese are serious. Look, there are at least 3,000 infantrymen. This time, I don't think we can hold on anymore.”Zhang Lingfu pointed into the distance with a bitter smile.
"Sir, there are two battalions of friendly brothers outside. They claim to be from the 522nd Regiment and ask if we need fire support.”
"What? Reinforcements?" Zhang Lingfu was shocked.
At this stage of the battle, there were no more reinforcements. Now that they suddenly heard someone coming to support them, they were very surprised.
When they arrived outside the city wall, they saw two battalions of soldiers wearing standard German military uniforms standing outside.
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Was this the reinforcement from the Teaching Corps?
"I'm Zhou Weiguo, the commander of the 522nd Regiment. I'm here to support the friendly forces in fighting the Japanese.”Zhou Weiguo, who was wearing the rank of colonel, turned around and said to Zhang Lingfu.
