Chapter 658
North Gate of Hanyang.
In the early years of the Republic of China, most of the Hanyang city walls were demolished, but the three city gates were preserved.
At this moment, the commander of the Japanese 16th Division, Fujie Keisuke and the commander of the 10th Division, Yoshio Shinozuka, were standing on the enemy tower at the north gate of Hanyang to watch the battle.
Through the telescope's vision, the two could clearly see that the two tanks of the Chinese army had just been blown up, and two more tanks rushed out of the ruins of the houses on both sides, blocking the Japanese army's attack route again.
The main guns of the two tanks and the on-board machine guns opened fire violently at the same time. The Japanese soldiers who were advancing along the main street fell down in rows and fell in pools of blood.
Yoshio Shinozuka said with distress: "This is really an difficult battle!"
"Yes!" Fujie Etsuki nodded and said in pain, "Their battle losses are almost the same as the Lushun Fortress battle in Meiji for the 38th year!"
After a pause, Fujie Etsusuke said again: "But fortunately, victory is right in front of you!"
"Not necessarily." Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head and said, "The Chinese army seems to have tanks!"
"Even if there are still, there shouldn't be a few left!" Fujie Huifu gritted his back teeth, "Since the Chinese army used tanks to block the Imperial Army last night, at least 36 tanks have been blown up by the Imperial Army's suicide squad. According to my estimate, there are only a dozen tanks left in the Chinese army now!"
He paused for a moment and said, "More than a dozen tanks can only block the Imperial Army for two hours!"
"Two hours?" Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we don't have so much time!"
As soon as the words were finished, the Chinese army in Hanyang City suddenly burst into cheers like tsunamis, and waves were higher and louder, and the sound almost broke through the sky!
Accompanied by cheers, the Chinese army, which had been huddling in the narrow area of the south of the city, suddenly launched a counterattack!
Although it was just a small-scale counterattack by dozens of people, it still had a great impact on the Japanese army that was attacking forward, seriously hindering the Japanese offensive!
"What's going on?" Fujie Etsusuke said sternly, "What's going on?"
Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Fuiejun, listen, the cheers of the Chinese army!"
"What's wrong?" Fujie Etsusuke asked, "What are the Chinese army cheering?"
Yoshio Shinozuka said, "The Chinese army seems to be cheering, their reinforcements have arrived!"
"Nani?" Fujie Etsusuke's face changed drastically when he heard this, "The reinforcements of the Chinese army have arrived?"
If the reinforcements from the Chinese army arrived, their second army would have been wasted! This is undoubtedly difficult for Fujie Etsuka and Yoshio Shinozuka!
At that moment, Fujie Etsuka said again: "Shinozuka, did you hear it wrong?"
Yoshio Shinozuka was not very sure, but at this moment, the chief of staff of the 10th Division was not blocked by the levee, and hurriedly climbed the enemy building.
"Teacher Commander! Lord Fujie!" said the head of the dike, "The headquarters urgently sent a telegram!"
Yoshio Shinozuka received the telegram from Tsubuki. After reading it, his face turned pale in an instant!
"Shinozuka, what's wrong?" Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka's expression, Fujie Etsuki's heart sank.
Yoshio Shinozuka didn't say much, but just handed the telegram to Fujie Keifu. After Fujie Keifu read the telegram, his face immediately showed an expression of incomparable pain.
After a while, Fujie Etsushi said bitterly: "I really didn't expect that the Chinese reinforcements really arrived!"
"Yes, I really didn't expect that the Chinese reinforcements would come so quickly!" Shinozuka Yoshio sighed, "It's just a little bit, it's just a little bit!"
"What should I do now?" asked Dibujiagui, "Do you still want to continue the attack?"
"No need!" Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said, "The Chinese reinforcements have arrived, and it is meaningless to attack again!"
"Yes, it's meaningless!" Fujie Etsutsuki said sadly, "Order the troops to retreat, then cross the east to Hanyang, and then retreat to Xiaogan after joining the main force of the Second Army!"
"Hayi!" Dibugu said with his head.
...
At this time, at the battlefield in Laoshuixiang, Hankou.
Shi Huaiyu, the battalion commander of the 367th Brigade Communications Battalion, held an unlocked 155mm shell and quietly waited for the next abandoned attack from the Japanese devils.
On the fifth and last day of persistence, the 367th Brigade's system has been completely disrupted.
Less than 2,000 remaining soldiers were mixed into more than a dozen companies, guarding the three streets and alleys outside the Dragon King Temple.
Whichever street is guarding and which section is guarding is all decided by drawing lots, randomly, depending on each person's luck. If the bad luck is drawn to the forefront, now all of them have been won!
The company where Shi Huaiyu is located is just as lucky and he is drawn to the middle section of Laoshui Lane!
But now, Shi Huaiyu is basically all involved in this company, and now he is the only one left!
When the Japanese launch the next attack, Shi Huaiyu should come on the field, and it should be his turn to sacrifice his life for the country!
At this moment, it is absolutely fake to say that Shi Huaiyu is not afraid in his heart. He is not only afraid, but also very afraid. He is afraid that he will not see his parents again, his beautiful wife again, and his children again!
When Shi Huaiyu thought that he might leave this world forever in the next second and would never see his parents, wife and children again, Shi Huaiyu felt like a knife!
But, what else can I do?
As the song "Say the truth", if you don't carry a gun, I don't carry a gun, who will defend the motherland and who will defend her?
If no one wants to fight for the country, if no one wants to sacrifice for the nation, then who will protect the security of this country and who will defend their parents, wife and children?
Just when Shi Huaiyu was sad, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Hearing the footsteps, Shi Huaiyu suddenly looked tragic. It must be the Japanese who attacked again!
Forget it! Shi Huaiyu sighed in his heart, father, mother, beloved wife and children, goodbye forever!
The next moment, Shi Huaiyu gritted his teeth and jumped up with a large caliber shell weighing dozens of kilograms. Then he was about to jump off the second floor of the house, detonate the shells and die together with the Japanese!
But at this moment, a hysterical shout came into Shi Huaiyu's ears: "The Japanese retreat! The Japanese retreat! The Japanese retreat!"
"What? The Japanese retreated?!"
Shi Huaiyu's body trembled violently and he immediately stood there.
After looking out, I saw that the Japanese across the street had turned around and ran back.
The Japanese really retreated! Shi Huaiyu felt his whole body weak and his whole body seemed to be exhausted. His hands holding the shell also let go of them, and the shell slid down to the ground on the first floor.
But the next moment, Shi Huaiyu suddenly woke up! This was an unlocked shell, and the fuse was facing downwards!
Chapter completed!
