After Tianchou's planning and reorganization, the infantry under his command was now twelve people per squad.
The squad leaders and deputy squad leaders carried MP38 submachine guns, while the nine soldiers carried M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles.
A soldier with good marksmanship carried a 98K sniper rifle. It was equipped with a 6x scope!
Each platoon had a MG34 machine gun, and the company had an additional firepower squad. The squad had three MG34 machine guns as support firepower for the company commander.
And the greatest artillery support was Wang Dezi's platoon of 12 Dissipating Cannons.
This was the only mobile support force in Tianchou's hands.
Looking at the soldiers who were happy after receiving the weapons, Tianchou sighed.
He thought to himself that if he was right, the big retreat would begin tomorrow or the day after.
With just a few hundred people, could they resist the crazy attack of the Japanese army and lead these soldiers out of Jinling safely?
The next morning, the sound of Japanese planes flying at low altitude could be heard from time to time.
Occasionally, there would be one or two loud explosions.
The entire Jinling and the southeast of the city were burning.
All the places where the smoke rose from the explosion had become ruins.
After a night of bombardment, Zhang Lingfu had led the soldiers of the 305th Regiment to retreat to the Zhonghua Gate wall to set up defenses.
He held a pair of binoculars in his hand and observed the Sun Army outside the temporary command post. His handsome face was expressionless.
At this moment, five black dots appeared in the frame of his binoculars. They were rapidly heading toward Zhonghua Gate.
Slowly, the five black dots appeared clearly in front of Zhang Lingfu.
Seeing these things, Zhang Lingfu could not help but grit his teeth and curse,
"It's these damned bastards again!"
This tank was a light tank developed by Japan in 1935. The turret of this tank was located to the left.
There seemed to be a bulge on the side of the car, which looked strange.
In the past few days of battle, Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment had already lost hundreds of soldiers in order to defend against the attacks of these tanks.
Looking at the approaching tanks, Zhang Lingfu gritted his teeth and shouted to the people beside him,
"Order, prepare the suicide squad!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Lingfu's adjutant waved his hand, and four soldiers in blue uniforms each carried a bag of explosives.
The soldiers stood in front of Zhang Lingfu without saying a word, quietly waiting for orders.
Zhang Lingfu looked at the soldiers in front of him and finally stopped at a young soldier. A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Now that he had to carry out such a deadly mission, even a veteran like Zhang Lingfu, who was used to seeing life and death, could not help but feel a little sorry.
However, he had no other choice. Zhang Lingfu patted the soldier's shoulder and said gently,"
"Little brother, where are you from? How old are you this year?"
Hearing that the other party was only seventeen years old, Zhang Lingfu's heart could not help but twitch. However, he still forced a smile and said,
"Do you have anything to say?"
"I don't have any requests. I just want you to help me bring the 20 dollars I got from joining the suicide squad to my old mother after I die.
Even if I die, I'll still be grateful for your great kindness.”
Zhang Lingfu's eyes were wet.
He nodded heavily and said to the four people in front of him,
"Don't worry, I, Zhang Lingfu, will definitely give your families the compensation you deserve.”
After saying that, Zhang Lingfu turned around and waved his hand with his back facing them, indicating for them to hurry up and go out.
Seeing Zhang Lingfu's actions, the oldest soldier in the lead whispered,"
After saying that, the soldier shouted to his companion beside him,"
"Brothers, the commander has already promised us. Now, we should be on our way.”
With that, the four soldiers charged forward.
Looking at the four figures in front of him, Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but curse,"
"Bastard!"
Their weapons and equipment were outdated, and they could only rely on countless soldiers carrying explosive bags and steel machines to stop the Japanese army.
This was the tragedy of the Chinese soldiers, and the tragedy of China!
Amidst the smoke, four bent soldiers were advancing quickly.
At this moment, they had already run more than 300 meters away from the camp and were only 200 meters away from the Japanese tanks.
Suddenly, the two firing holes of the Type-95 tank turret of the Japanese army that was charging at the front flashed with fire.
The remaining two soldiers quickly fell to the ground to avoid the dense bullets that flew past their heads.
The few Japanese tanks following behind also started to fire furiously.
The dense barrage of bullets almost turned the ground in front of them upside down, causing the two soldiers on the ground to not even dare to raise their heads.
In the blink of an eye, the leading Japanese tank had arrived in front of the two soldiers. It looked like they would lose their chance if they did not make a move.
A soldier stood up and rushed towards the nearest tank.
However, before he could even take a few steps, he was discovered by the Japanese soldiers on the tank, and a rain of bullets followed.
The explosive bag in his arms was also detonated. With a loud explosion, the soldier disappeared forever.
This time, three people had died, and it was unknown whether the remaining one was dead or alive. Could it be that this attack had failed just like that?
"Sir, we still have one more person!”
At this moment, the sharp-eyed adjutant pointed ahead and shouted excitedly.
Zhang Lingfu quickly raised his binoculars and happened to see a thin figure pouncing toward a tank.
Judging from his figure, he was the youngest warrior.
His thin and weak figure suddenly became extremely vigorous, and he rushed to the side of a Japanese war chariot in a few strides.
With the explosive bag in his arms emitting wisps of green smoke, he threw himself at the Qijun tank without caring about anything else.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the chariot of the Japanese army was engulfed by a cloud of smoke.
"It exploded, it exploded!"
Cheers erupted from the Zhonghua Gate camp, and Zhang Lingfu's cold expression softened.
They exchanged five lives for a tank from the Japanese, but this result made them cheer excitedly!
The remaining five tanks quickly aimed at the tank in the middle.
It began to rain bullets crazily.
The soldier who blew up the Japanese tank was running at high speed, like a lone boat in the sea that could be swallowed by a huge wave at any time.
The bullet left a straight line on the ground and went straight for the little warrior running in front.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of the G Army on their own side were worried about that little soldier.
Many people closed their eyes in pain as they watched the bullets quickly catch up to the little soldier.
"Boom!"
The roar of the engine woke everyone up.
An army green " strange vehicle ", accompanied by a deafening roar, flew like an arrow in the direction where the little warrior was running.
