After Lin Chao left Songhu, he did not bring his troops straight to Jinling.
His goal was to reinforce Jinling and harass the Japanese from the outside, making it difficult for them to take down Jinling.
If he didn't go around the Japanese soldiers on the road, he would have been surrounded by the Japanese soldiers by the time he brought his men over.
They had just left Songhu when they heard Songhu dispatch 100,000 reinforcements.
Lin Chao did not need to think to know that they were here to capture them.
Everything he had done in Songhu had caused the devils to lose face.
Once the Japanese got the chance, they would definitely want to skin him alive.
Hence, Lin Chao purposely led the team around the mountain to make the Japanese lose track of him.
At the same time, he would also let the new recruits train more so that they would not have a problem holding a gun on the battlefield.
After all, they were going to the battlefield in Jinling.
Lin Chao knew very well that it would be a brutal battle of defense.
Giving them some time to grow would give them a chance to survive in the cruel war.
Lin Chao had already conjured Ding Wei and Kong Jie in the past few days, preparing to assign them troops and make them regiment commanders next time.
He also persisted in signing in every day and obtained ten treasure chests.
By the time he arrived at Yanling with his troops, Lin Chao had received news that the defense of Jinling had already begun for more than a week and the national army had suffered heavy casualties.
"How come you're so fast?"
Lin Chao was shocked. He clearly remembered that the Japanese would attack Jinling now. Even if they had brought it forward, they should not have brought it up so early, right?
What Lin Chao did not know was that it was because of his performance in Songhu.
That was why the Japanese army had no choice but to attack Jinling when they were not fully prepared.
It was his appearance that changed the original plan of the Japanese army!
"Traveler, I just heard from the people here that Jinling has been surrounded for two days. More than half of the defenders in the city have been lost.”Xie Jin Yuan reported to Lin Chao anxiously.
Lin Chao clenched his fists furiously.
He had made so many preparations to help Jinling, but he didn't expect the Japanese to attack so many days ahead of schedule.
This had severely disrupted his plans!
"Order the troops to march towards Jinling. Even if they don't sleep or rest, they must reach Jinling as fast as possible!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
Jinling City, outside Guanghua Gate.
The Japanese soldiers bombarded Guanghua Gate with artillery fire. Countless shells flew into the sky and whistled towards Guanghua Gate.
The 9th division of the devil army was waiting for an opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Guanghua Gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The artillery shells rained down like raindrops, causing the entire camp to be filled with rocks and stones.
The flames soared into the sky, even higher than the Guanghua Gate tower.
At the Engineering School, the soldiers of the 260th Brigade of the 87th Division were all hiding in the trenches.
Even though the artillery fire was fierce, no one left the camp.
When the bombing finally ended, a captain and company commander struggled out of the mud.
He shook off the dust on his body and quickly reached out to dig at the place where his comrades were still in his memory.
"Brothers, are you alright?" The captain shouted.
Beside him, the Chinese soldiers also crawled out of the soil.
However, after the bombardment, less than half of the original number of people crawled out on their own.
The captain was heartbroken. He didn't expect that so many of his brothers would die in the artillery fire before they even officially fought the Japanese.
"Sir, the Japanese are attacking!" A soldier shouted.
The captain looked up. Sure enough, after the bombing ended, the Japanese army sent tanks to cover the infantry and launched an attack on them.
The captain's eyes were red." Brothers, hold on. We can't let the devils break through Guanghua Gate from our position!”
"The Japanese are here. Are you ready to avenge your dead brothers?”
" Captain, we're ready!" The soldiers 'eyes were firm." We'll drag the Japanese to hell even if we die!"”
The captain nodded." Alright then. The Japanese will be here soon. Beat them up!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, the attacking Japanese had already rushed out of the camp and fired fiercely at them.
Bullets whizzed toward them, splashing the soil in front of the trench.
The soldiers in the trenches didn't hide and fired back fearlessly.
Bullets crossed each other in the air, and soldiers from both sides fell.
However, the firepower of the Japanese soldiers was even fiercer. They also had the support of the artillery. The defenders suffered even more casualties and kept falling in the trenches.
In the past two days, it was not the first time the Japanese had attacked the engineering school.
Compared to the heavy casualties, the defenders were having a harder time because they did not have much ammunition.
As the Japanese continued to advance, many of the defenders ran out of bullets.
Seeing that the Japanese were about to charge into the trenches, someone shouted first.
"Mount the bayonet, little Japanese. F * ck your grandmother. I'll fight you to the death!”
"F * ck you little Japanese, I'll fight you to the death!”
"Brothers, go! Kill one to break even, kill two to earn one!”
"Kill!"
The Chinese soldiers of the engineering school roared and charged at the Japanese.
They had already run out of ammunition and food. At this moment, all they had left was this body.
The rain of bullets from the Japanese continued, knocking down many of the defenders who had just rushed out of the trenches.
Seeing that the Chinese army was about to charge forward and engage in a hand-to-hand battle, the Japanese commander sneered,""Withdraw the bullets, all of you, fix your bayonet!"
They were confident that they would not lose to the Chinese in close combat.
The Chinese soldiers took the initiative to rush up and fight with the Japanese.
A soldier was stabbed several times by the Japanese, but he still held on tightly. He held the muzzle of the Japanese with one hand and slashed at the Japanese with a large knife in the other until he was exhausted.
Another ferocious Chinese soldier killed several Japanese soldiers in a row.
In the end, he was attacked by several Japanese at the same time and died tragically under the chaotic blades.
Before he died, he did not forget to pull out the grenade and directly blew up a few Japanese who wanted to kill him, dragging them down with him.
After a few hours of fierce fighting, only seven or eight Chinese soldiers were left at the camp.
They had been holding on until now, and they were covered in injuries. They could no longer muster any strength.
They stood back to back, leaning against each other.
The surrounding Japanese slowly approached them.
"Brothers!" A lieutenant said," We won't live on our knees. We did it. Now it's time for us to die standing!"”
"Blade, the other brothers haven't gone far. Let's go down and find them!”
All the soldiers had firm gazes, without any fear or sadness.
The Xu Nation was a military country. It was the best place for them to die for the country before it was destroyed.
The surrounding Japanese soldiers also surrounded them and raised their bayonet at them.
"Little Japanese, f * ck you!"
The first lieutenant roared, mustering his last bit of strength, and swung his broadsword at the devil's head.
