The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 194 Crisis Everywhere

December 11, 1937, at 3:30 PM, the soldiers of the Special Operations Company had annihilated Fujiwara Yushen's Special Operations Battalion.

They were waiting to eat the food made by Sheng Family Restaurant.

Shortly after Sheng Shicai and his wife left home, they heard rumbling, crackling explosions, and machine gun fire coming from the direction of the Living Buddha Temple.

Only now did they feel afraid: "We should have brought our daughter with us."

The two blamed each other, but now they couldn't go back either. Soldiers stood guard on both sides of the road, allowing anyone to leave, but not enter.

Fortunately, this period was not long, and their daughter ran out to find them, urging them to quickly return and cook for more than three hundred people.

Sheng Shicai was overjoyed: "This is a big order! All the meat and vegetables I bought today can be sold.

He was calculating in his heart, "How much money should I make today?"

Only his wife reminded him in a low voice: "Lao Sheng! Can we really make food for more than three hundred people?"

Sheng Shicai was clearly absent-minded: "Only a little over three hundred people, I can make it for a thousand."

His daughter was serious: "Dad, you're amazing! They originally had fifteen hundred people who wanted to eat at our restaurant.

I couldn't handle it all, fearing it would ruin our reputation, so I didn't dare accept it all.

Or should I go and tell them all to eat at our restaurant?"

Sheng Shicai finally woke up: "No need, no need! Today there are only about three hundred people, three hundred and fifty people is just right.

My daughter is the best at handling things, well done.

I'll buy you some nice new clothes for the New Year."

Sheng Meng Han wasn't too happy. She said in a low voice, "The Japanese devils are right outside the city, who knows what the New Year will be like?"

Sheng Shicai said with a smile, "What about the Japanese devils? Whether they are Easterners or Westerners, when they come, they still have to eat.

The sky is big, the earth is big, eating is the biggest thing.

We common people! Regardless of who is fighting, how they are fighting, we just need to live our own lives well."

Sheng Meng Han didn't argue with her father, but just followed him back to the restaurant.

Sheng Shicai saw the soldiers in his backyard busy repairing the wall.

Although he felt a little sorry for his courtyard wall, he didn't dare to say anything.

Strictly speaking, this courtyard wall didn't belong to them, it belonged to the Living Buddha Temple.

The young man who was obviously an officer had a good attitude. He even smiled at him and said a word of comfort: "Uncle Sheng, don't worry, we will definitely fix it well for you, repainting this side completely white, just like new."

"What a good young man, sensible and polite."

Being able to have his backyard completely repainted was a small profit.

Chen Sichuan felt that he had performed well in front of his future father-in-law. He even smiled at him.

He secretly cheered himself on.

He shamelessly, and without being asked, led a dozen soldiers and ran to the Sheng family's kitchen to help.

This made Sheng Shicai and Wang Yu Fen extremely happy.

Sheng Meng Han seemed to understand something, and looked at Chen Si Zan with some contempt, but in the end, she didn't refuse.

Today, making food for more than three hundred people was really a bit rushed, and she was also helping with the work, so she really needed someone to help out.

What Sheng Meng Han didn't expect was that this guy who killed people without blinking an eye on the battlefield could actually cut vegetables so well.

Looking at his constant vegetable-cutting posture, it was a pity that he wasn't a chef.

Sheng Shicai also said with a smile, "Officer, your vegetable-cutting skills are already good enough to be a chef."

Chen Sichuan was happy in his heart, and he blurted out what was in his heart: "If I can't fight anymore, I'll open a restaurant.

I'll learn some skills from you then, Uncle."

He was speaking from the heart, the truth.

Sheng Shicai only took it as idle chat, bragging, and immediately agreed with a smile.

Chen Sichuan was not only good at cutting vegetables, but also good at making large-pot meals.

With such a helper who could handle everything, Sheng Shicai started cooking less than a quarter of an hour after returning home.

At this time, Chen Sichuan also learned to cook together.

Even Sheng Shicai was a little embarrassed, thinking in his heart: "Later, should I reduce the price a little?

These soldiers have done most of the work themselves."

Seeing that only the last dish was left, just a soup away.

Chen Sichuan said, "I'll go check the rice."

The rice was cooked!

Now was the crucial moment.

The advantages that Chen Sichuan could show today had been fully demonstrated.

He said to Sheng Meng Han, who had come to check the rice with him, with a blushing face and in a low voice: "Miss Sheng! Come to the backyard, I have something to say to you."

Sheng Meng Han: "Say it here!"

"It's not good to say it here!" Chen Sichuan insisted.

"If it's not good to say, then don't say it." Sheng Meng Han was also very insistent.

Having no other choice, Chen Sichuan could only whisper: "Marry me! I will treat you well.

Although I don't have much money now, and I'm just a squad leader.

But our company commander said that we will all be generals in the future."

Sheng Meng Han was stunned when she heard the first sentence. She didn't understand the few sentences that Chen Sichuan said later at all.

After Chen Sichuan finished speaking, he waited for a while, but didn't get a response, so he looked up at the woman in front of him.

Sheng Meng Han was still in a daze.

Chen Sichuan tugged at her sleeve: "Believe me, I will definitely be able to become a general."

Sheng Meng Han burst out laughing, and Chen Sichuan was stunned once again by her smile.

Sheng Meng Han said with a smile, "You can become a general?"

Lin Fan said behind her, "He will definitely be able to become a general! Believe him, you're not wrong.

A person who leads his team and has already killed thousands of Japanese devils, if he can't become a general.

Then who can become a general?"

Sheng Meng Han didn't expect Chen Sichuan's leader to be behind them.

She was a little shy, but she didn't run away. She just asked Chen Sichuan, "You really led people to kill thousands of Japanese devils?"

Chen Sichuan was still out of it looking at her smile.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "In less than an hour today, you also saw it, more than three hundred Japanese devils were killed next door.

His squad was assigned one-fifth of that, which is almost seventy Japanese devils.

We've fought so many Japanese devils on the way here, you can ask him slowly.

Let him tell you."

Sheng Meng Han said shyly, "This is too fast! I've only known you for less than half a day."

Lin Fan laughed, "Aren't talented men and beautiful women all in love at first sight?

It's settled then!"

"No!... Not so fast!" When Sheng Meng Han said the first word, she saw the smile on Chen Sichuan's face disappear immediately.

As if possessed, she added two more words to take it back.

Lin Fan said to Chen Sichuan, "What are you standing there for, quickly serve the food, take care of your business, we still have serious matters to attend to."

Sheng Meng Han stammered, "Why don't you take care of your serious matters first?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Squad Leader Chen's business is also serious business!

It's settled then."

"My dad!" Sheng Meng Han hadn't finished speaking.

Lin Fan waved his hand, "Our company is short of a cook squad leader, I think your dad is quick and efficient, he's the one."

Sheng Meng Han: "..."

"My family's restaurant!"

"You tell her!" Lin Fan ordered Chen Sichuan.

Chen Sichuan finally had the courage and grabbed Sheng Meng Han's hand: "Let's go to the backyard and talk."

He pulled Sheng Meng Han to the backyard, where the smell of freshly painted lime could still be clearly smelled.

Chen Sichuan simply told her about Lin Fan's assessment of the current situation, Lin Fan only hinted that something big would happen in Nanjing City.

Chen Sichuan directly said that the Japanese devils would kill people in the city.

Sheng Meng Han couldn't believe it: "The Easterners wouldn't dare to do that, would they?"

Chen Sichuan showed his wit again: "This time, although the Easterners have been fighting all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing.

But the more we fight, the higher the call for national support for the war of resistance becomes.

The Easterners want to kill one as a warning to a hundred, to scare all Chinese people, so that everyone will not dare to resist anymore.

This is very likely!

The most important thing is that our company commander has never been wrong."

"What things has your company commander been right about?" Sheng Meng Han was interested.

"There are too many things, there's no time now! You haven't eaten yet either, let's go eat first, tell your dad, and follow us.

I'll tell you slowly in the future.

Your uncle and aunt must come with us, it's really dangerous to stay in the city.

When we leave the city this time, we're also taking Qian Youcai's family with us. Their whole family is going to follow us."

Sheng Meng Han seemed to be persuaded.

She walked back to the front hall hand in hand with Chen Sichuan.

Sheng Shicai felt that something was wrong when he saw them walking back together.

He just hadn't realized it yet. It was Sheng Meng Han who was scrutinized by his gaze that realized it, and shook off Chen Sichuan's hand.

Only then did Sheng Shicai realize that this soldier had actually held his daughter's hand.

Combining that they came out of the backyard together, coupled with the shy expression on his daughter's face.

He immediately thought of some talented men and beautiful women, PG-13 scenes.

He reached for a kitchen knife and slashed at Chen Sichuan: "I thought you were a good person, but in such a short time, you actually laid your hands on my daughter."

Chen Sichuan quickly dodged, and Sheng Meng Han stood in front of Chen Sichuan and roared, "Dad! What are you doing?"

"I!..." Seeing his daughter's eyes, Sheng Shicai couldn't continue.

Lin Fan came out at this time: "Lao Sheng, tell me what's going on, I'll make the decision for you."

Sheng Shicai felt as if he had found the backbone and took Lin Fan's hand and was about to speak, but he saw so many soldiers here.

Afraid of affecting his daughter's reputation, he immediately changed his words: "Officer! Let's talk in the back."

He said fiercely to Chen Sichuan: "You come too!"

Walking to the backyard, Sheng Shicai immediately complained to Lin Fan: "Officer, you have to make the decision for me! In such a short time, this man under you has ruined my daughter.

You have to make the decision for us!"

Sheng Meng Han blushed and roared in a low voice: "Dad! What are you talking about? Who was ruined?"

Wang Yu Fen also advised her husband: "Shicai, don't talk nonsense, it will tarnish our daughter's reputation."

Lin Fan said in a low voice: "Lao Sheng! Although this kid is just a squad leader, he has almost two hundred men under him.

He is brave in battle, capable, and healthy.

Today, I will make the decision and let him marry your daughter. He is not allowed to look at other women more than once in his life.

If he dares to look at another woman, I will kill him!"

Sheng Shicai felt that this seemed like a trap, but he didn't know how to break it.

Lin Fan continued: "Lao Sheng, you only have one daughter, how can you rest assured if you don't follow this son-in-law to supervise him?

Don't worry, your business is my business. I'll also give you a position, as a squad leader, the same as him.

Just stay in my team, and keep an eye on him.

I guarantee that if he dares to mess around, you tell me, and I'll take care of him."

Sheng Shicai nodded repeatedly: "Officer! You are a good person! Really a good person, and you're doing a good deed to the end.

You even gave me a position!"

Chen Sichuan looked at the company commander, he didn't expect the company commander to be so helpful.

Wang Yu Fen gently tugged at his sleeve: "Are you going to be a soldier?"

"Be a soldier? What kind of soldier?" Sheng Shicai asked in confusion.

Lin Fan said with a smile: "Regardless of whether you're a soldier or not, it's right to follow us!"

Wang Yu Fen asked in confusion: "Why should we follow you?"

"Mom! I'll tell you." Sheng Meng Han had already begun to stand on Chen Sichuan's side at this time.

No one knew how Sheng Meng Han told her parents, but when the family of three came out, their faces were full of joy.

Lin Fan said to Sheng Shicai: "Lao Sheng! Take all the pots and stoves in your house that you can take with you.

The Special Operations Company will convert them into money for you at market prices.

Quickly pack up your belongings at home, I'll send a car to pull the things away.

Bring the house deed for this house in the city, and entrust it to your neighbors to take care of. We'll be back soon."

Lin Fan then said to Chen Sichuan, "Sichuan! Send two people to help, bring all the things that can be brought from home, and send the people and the car to Qian's residence to meet up before five o'clock."

Chen Sichuan thought for a moment: "Company commander! Only one car and a few soldiers are needed here.

I'll leave a few people behind, and the whole squad should still follow you!"

Lin Fan told Meng Yuanfang to take Liu Lao Pao to see the house where Fujiwara Yushen had once been stationed.

At the same time, he had to find all the people who had worked with Fujiwara Yushen's Special Operations Battalion that day.

Only then did he take the remaining four squads back to the Special Operations Company's garrison. At this time, the heavy artillery squad had already set off according to orders.

This was already an empty camp, looking at the camp with nothing left.

Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction: "That's the style of the Special Operations Company."

He only glanced at this, and Xiao Dongbei asked: "Company commander, where are we going now?"

Lin Fan ordered: "Yuhuatai!"

After Tang Shengzhi finished dealing with Qian Guangming's matter, he felt very uneasy.

Today, the morale of the defending troops in the city was unstable. The 74th Army ran to the Yangtze River to build a bridge, and the 88th Division wanted to cross the river directly from Xiaguan.

The Japanese devils' attacks outside the city were becoming more and more fierce, especially the heavy artillery bombardment in the morning, which really scared him.

His whole mood was bad.

Commander Tang, who had always believed in Buddhism, quickly returned to his office and chanted.

He lit incense for the Buddha statue that had been enshrined in the office for more than twenty years, and silently recited a passage of scripture. Only then did he hold up the fortune stick that he had obtained a few days ago. The stick read: "Everything goes well."

This was still the day he was appointed commander of the Nanjing Garrison. He felt that Nanjing City was difficult to defend, and he walked around the courtyard with a frown.

One of his adjutants advised: "Commander! The fortune telling at the Great Bao'en Temple near Yuhuatai is very effective."

Commander Tang, who had always believed that fate was determined by heaven, disguised himself and took a guard to the Great Bao'en Temple early the next morning.

His car stopped at the entrance of the Great Bao'en Temple. Just as he got out of the car, Tang Shengzhi looked up and saw the words written on the temple gate: "The First Famous Temple in Jiangnan."

Accompanied by the guard, just as he walked into the temple, a monk walked over with a smile and said: "This benefactor, you walk like a dragon and stride like a tiger, with wind and clouds rising between your movements.

Your face is radiant, and your eyes show divine light. You must be at a time when good things are coming and you are about to make great achievements."

These words made Tang Shengzhi feel overjoyed. He made a bow and said: "I don't know what the future holds, so I came here to ask the master to show me the way."

The monk introduced: "This temple was built when Sun Quan of Eastern Wu and Liu Bei were getting married.

Liu Bei was asked to stay in Jiangnan, so he secretly prayed here: If I can return to Jingzhou, I will cut this stone in two."

"Sure enough, the stone was cut in two."

Sun Quan asked at the time: "Why cut this stone?"

Liu Bei said hatefully: "I can't stand the sight of it."

Sun Quan had some guesses in his heart, so he also secretly prayed: "If I can retake Jingzhou, I will cut this stone in two with my sword."

So he cut the stone in two again.

This cross-stone is still here now.

Later, Sun Quan did take back Jingzhou, so he built this Great Bao'en Temple here.

It has now been more than 1,700 years old.

The fortune sticks here are the most effective.

Would the benefactor like to draw one?"

Tang Shengzhi came here for the fortune telling, of course he would not refuse.

He had believed in Buddhism for many years, so he naturally knew the Buddhist principle that fortune telling costs money.

He took out two hundred silver dollars and offered them with both hands.

His generosity shocked the monk. The little monks on the side even forgot to chant scriptures for a while.

Only then did Tang Shengzhi calm his mind, hold the fortune stick container with both hands and shake it.

The guard, the monk, and a little monk on the side watched a fortune stick inside the container slowly rise up from the container like a bamboo shoot.

There were also three or four sticks following it. Several sticks were competing with each other inside the bamboo tube, refusing to give way to each other, vying to jump out.

They looked like they were about to fall out. Suddenly, one stick finally won the competition and jumped out all at once.

Tang Shengzhi quickly stepped forward and picked it up. He looked closely: "Everything goes well."

He could know the general meaning of this stick without explaining it.

He gave it to the monk with both hands.

The monk looked at the stick and smiled as he interpreted it for him: "This benefactor, this is a rare good stick that appears once in a hundred years, auspicious and prosperous.

No matter what you do, you will be invincible!

Doing business will make you a fortune, being an official will lead to promotion, farming will bring a harvest every year, and fighting will bring victory in every battle.

This stick has only appeared once in all the years since this temple was built, 600 years ago when Emperor Chengzu of Ming wanted to start a major event.

He was indecisive and could not make up his mind, so he came to this temple to ask for guidance from the heavens.

Only then did it appear for the first time.

The second time was when Emperor Qianlong went to Jiangnan. Seeing this beautiful country, he asked the heavens to bless him with a life of over eighty years, so that he could see more days.

This stick appeared.

This is the third time this stick has appeared in this temple, the benefactor must be extremely noble.

Everything you wish for will definitely come true in the future."

Hearing that this stick had only appeared three times, Tang Shengzhi thought: When Emperor Chengzu of Ming raised his army, he had few soldiers and little land, and he was not on the same level as Emperor Jianwen at all.

He was able to succeed.

This time I will also be able to successfully defend Nanjing City.

Thinking about Chengzu going from a prince to an emperor, Tang Shengzhi's heart was even more fiery.

This time he took the initiative to stand up and defend Nanjing, and he had deeper thoughts in mind.

Now that he had the stick in his hand, and hearing the allusions that the monk said, the fire in his heart was even greater.

He quickly knelt on the futon and kowtowed to the Buddha in the hall.

Only then did he say to the monk: "Master! Can I take this stick with me?"

The monk seemed to know his thoughts and said with a smile: "This stick has been here since the temple was built 1,700 years ago.

When Emperor Chengzu asked for this stick in the past, he did not take it away.

Later, when Emperor Qianlong asked for this stick, he did not take it away.

The benefactor is putting the little monk in a difficult position."

Tang Shengzhi quickly said: "I am not greedy, I just want to bring this stick back, offer incense every day, and worship it every day.

To thank the master for his great kindness."

He also asked the guard to take back 10,000 silver dollars.

"Please also ask the master to explain a few more words for me in front of the Buddha."

The monk still smiled: "The benefactor is sincere, the Buddha will definitely let you get what you want."

He threw the stick into the container with both hands.

He said with a smile: "If you shake it out again, it will be destined for you."

The little monk was stunned at this time, watching the big mace in front of him without blinking. No, it was a big tycoon.

Tang Shengzhi first prayed sincerely, and then recited a passage of scripture.

Only then did he hold up the container with both hands again and shake it vigorously.

The situation just now appeared again: "Several bamboo sticks are competing with each other, as if they all want to run out."

Tang Shengzhi kept chanting in his heart: "Everything goes well! Everything goes well!"

Looking at the five sticks intertwined together, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The strength of his shaking hands became a little relaxed.

The monk was on the side, looking at his nose and mind, only chanting scriptures.

Until a crisp "Pa!" sound came out.

Only then did the monk open his eyes, pick up the bamboo stick casually, not looking at it first, and hand it to Tang Shengzhi with a smile: "The benefactor is destined, take it away!"

Tang Shengzhi was sure that the monk didn't even look at the stick that fell out last time.

He looked at it himself, it was exactly: "Everything goes well!"

He couldn't help but ask strangely: "How did the master know that this stick was destined for me?"

The monk smiled and said: "Everything goes well! If this little thing can't go well.

What are we talking about everything?

Just now I saw that the benefactor's heart was not convinced, so I specially asked the benefactor to shake it again.

Now the benefactor believes it, right!"

Only then did Tang Shengzhi suddenly realize: The master was pointing out to him.

He was a cultured person, of course he knew the difficulty of drawing the same stick continuously.

Now he believed it even more wholeheartedly.

He asked the guard to take back another 5,000 silver dollars, and after offering it, he left the Great Bao'en Temple contentedly and ambitiously.

Later, the confidence that he had been claiming to coexist with Nanjing City came from here.

All the generals could see that Nanjing could not be defended, even Chang Kaishen knew in his heart that Nanjing City could not be defended.

But these people saw something different about Tang Shengzhi: he really believed that he could defend Nanjing City.

No one knew where his confidence came from.

What Tang Shengzhi didn't know was: After he left, the little monk asked: "Master! Why did you give him that good stick?"

The monk still smiled like just now: "The one who came just now was the newly appointed commander of the Nanjing Garrison, Commander Tang.

He has just taken over the defense of Nanjing, and obviously he is worried about the war.

Although we have jumped out of the mortal world, we still have a motherland. At this time, of course, we must give him the best stick.

I hope the Buddha will bless him and let Commander Tang get what he wants."

The little monk asked in confusion: "Then why did Master take so much money from him again?"

The monk knocked him on the head: "Fool! You only have these yellow and white things in your eyes, and you haven't seen the teacher's heart for the country and the people."

He carefully put the precious stick back in front of the Buddha statue with both hands.

Tang Shengzhi felt much more at ease.

Just as he walked into the operations command room, he received a report that the Japanese devils were urgently attacking Zhonghua Gate and requesting support.

After the 16th Division of the Japanese Army failed to attack the Baishui Bridge position, they turned their attention to Zhonghua Gate.

If they couldn't attack one place, they would change the position of attack.

Anyway, Nanjing City was big and wouldn't run away. There were so many positions to attack, there was no need to be entangled.

So Commander Nakajima Kesago changed the target of breaking the city to attacking Zhonghua Gate.

To attack Zhonghua Gate, Xiaoling must be opened first.

Defending Xiaoling was a battalion of the Central Military Academy.

After receiving the mission, Battalion Commander Lei Wen Yu began to observe the terrain here at Xiaoling. He found that the huge stone tablet could hide the entire battalion.

And there was also a large open space in front of the stone tablet, which was very suitable for rest.

Under normal circumstances, the team would take a short rest when they reached this place.

His battalion set up concealed fortifications on the mountain behind this, preparing to defend this place.

At noon on the 8th, a sentry found a small team of Japanese devils coming to reconnoiter. This group of Japanese devils swaggered over from the highway.

They had no defense at all.

Squad Leader Koyama Norio led his team of soldiers to scout along the road. They had walked three or four miles along the way without encountering a single Chinese soldier.

These days, they had been pursuing the victory all the way without being sniped again. Even if there were occasional skirmishes, they were Chinese soldiers who came to scout.

After the entire regiment was on high alert, a day passed without any further action from the Chinese army.

This situation had become very common now: small units of the Chinese army appeared, but no large units of the Chinese army came out to fight.

This situation made Captain Koyama Norio feel that the main force of the Chinese army was deliberately avoiding the advancing path of his team after knowing it.

Now, Squad Leader Koyama Norio saw the huge stone tablets in front, and the flat ground in front of the stone tablets like a square.

He commanded the soldiers: "Go to the open space in front and rest for a while before leaving."

Katayama Tora Saburo said with a smile: "Such a big stone tablet, are there a lot of gold and silver treasures buried behind it?"

Squad Leader Koyama Norio nodded: "When we capture Nanjing City, we can come and dig it up.

Gentlemen, work hard!"

These soldiers walked unhurriedly to the open space in front of Xiaoling and rested.

The soldiers of the Military Academy who had seen them long ago had entered the position and were just waiting for them to come.

Now Lei Wen Yu's battalion was less than thirty meters away from the nearest Japanese devils.

Lei Wen Yu watched the Japanese devils scattered on the ground and ordered the entire battalion's machine guns to be prepared.

He also asked Jiang Hu, the company commander of the 1st Company, to secretly take a company of soldiers to cut off the Japanese devils' retreat.

Ten minutes after Jiang Hu, the company commander of the 1st Company, left with his team.

Only then did he order: "Fire!"

The Central Military Academy was Chang Kaishen's "Iron Guard".

It was the most advanced, best-paid, and most rigorously trained force in the entire Nanjing government.

There were three heavy machine guns and six light machine guns in Lei Wen Yu's battalion.

These guns fired at the same time, immediately stunning the Japanese devils of Koyama Norio's squad.

Although these Japanese devils could be regarded as veterans who had experienced many battles, they still took some time to react when they encountered such a sudden attack.

Katayama Tora Saburo rolled over and fell to the ground. He had already picked up the rifle he had placed on the ground while resting.

He looked nervously towards the place where the gunshots came from:

Behind the tall stone tablets in front, many flaming gun barrels were sticking out, constantly firing at them.

Katayama Tora Saburo quickly fired at the stone tablets.

It was just that there were too few people in the entire Koyama Norio squad who were still fighting back like him.

Most of the soldiers had been hit by the sudden rain of bullets just now.

Many soldiers fell to the ground groaning.

Some people also quickly ran away.

Squad Leader Koyama Norio shouted loudly: "Counterattack! Counterattack!"

He himself was also insisting on firing.

The firepower on the opposite side was too strong, it was impossible for their unprepared team to resist.

Especially the two machine guns in the team did not fire.

The four machine gunners became the first to die before they could react.

Squad Leader Koyama Norio ordered: "Retreat!"

After giving the order, he immediately stood up and ran back.

Katayama Tora Saburo had just stood up and had not had time to turn around when he was swept by a heavy machine gun.

The whole person fell headfirst.

Squad Leader Koyama Norio saw a big hole in the back of this brave soldier, and it was obvious that he would not survive.

He dared not stay any longer and ran away.

When Battalion Commander Lei Wen Yu saw the Japanese devils starting to run, he shouted loudly: "Charge!"

He led the soldiers hiding behind the stone tablets and charged out towards the fleeing Japanese devils.

Squad Leader Koyama Norio heard the shouts coming from behind him. He looked back and saw a dark mass of Chinese troops charging out from behind the stone tablets.

More soldiers were charging out from behind those stone tablets, as if endlessly.

He was so frightened that he stepped on the gas and ran even faster.

It was just that he started too late, and the fastest soldiers had already rushed to more than a hundred steps away.

Squad Leader Koyama Norio knew that those soldiers had started running before he gave the order.

He cursed angrily: "Cowards!"

Fifty steps scolding a hundred steps: Cowards!

His voice seemed to have magic. As soon as the two words came out, several Japanese devils running in the front fell headfirst.

The sound of gunshots in front only came out at this time.

Jiang Hu had blocked the Japanese devils' retreat with the 1st Company, and the first round of fire had knocked down six Japanese devils.

This frightened the fleeing Japanese devils.

They no longer dared to run along the road and began to scatter in all directions.

Squad Leader Koyama Norio was no exception. He turned away from the road from a distance and rushed towards both sides of the road.

Although Lei Wen Yu's battalion caught the Japanese devils by surprise, they still did not annihilate the entire Koyama Norio's squad.

Ten or so Japanese devils escaped from the entire squad of fifty-four Japanese devils.

Battalion Commander Lei Wen Yu set up an ambush in front of Xiaoling and ambushed the Japanese devils, destroying a squad of Japanese devils.

He was very happy in his heart. He knew that he had beaten these Japanese devils today.

The Japanese devils would definitely come back to retaliate tomorrow. That night, everyone quietly withdrew from behind the front stone tablet.

Captain Koyama Norio of the 38th Infantry Regiment of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army received the news that forty members of the reconnaissance squad in front had been killed by the Chinese army.

He was furious and ordered the entire team to go and take revenge the next day.

When he led the team to the stone tablet, Squad Leader Koyama Norio pointed to the back of the stone tablet and said: "Captain, those defenders charged out from there."

Captain Koyama Norio did not act rashly.

He contacted the air force and threw gasoline bombs at the back of the stone tablet, and also asked his artillery to launch poison gas bombs at the back.

The soldiers of Lei Wen Yu's battalion, who had already left the position behind the stone tablet, saw the raging fire rising from the mountain.

They also said that the red poisonous fog praised the battalion commander for being more accurate than Zhuge Liang.

When Captain Koyama Norio saw that the entire back of the stone tablet was already a sea of fire, he ordered the team to bypass this place and continue marching.

They had just advanced less than five hundred meters when they were ambushed by Lei Wen Yu's battalion.

Old enemies meeting each other were extremely jealous.

From the beginning, Koyama Norio bombarded Lei Wen Yu's battalion's position. In the following days,

Lei Wen Yu's battalion had been defending here, and there were less than a company of soldiers left in the entire battalion.

The Japanese devils' attacks from morning till night not only exhausted the Chinese army, but also exhausted Captain Koyama Norio's team.

Today, the division commander wanted to use this place as a breakthrough point for attacking Nanjing.

The 38th Infantry Regiment to which Koyama Norio's team belonged attacked from here.

The exhausted Koyama Norio's team was replaced and used as a reserve team.

This time, the one who came up to replace them was the Toyota Naoto team.

Colonel Asukawa Shizu, the captain of the 38th Regiment, who had issued the attack order, did not ignore it.

He also ordered the regiment's mountain artillery team to cooperate.

Captain Nishihama Taro cooperated with the infantry regiment and set up an artillery position on the open ground in front of Xiaoling.

Twelve 92 infantry guns and twenty-four 100mm mortars simultaneously landed on the position defended by Lei Wen Yu's battalion.

His defense here at Xiaoling these days had made his battalion

There was only less than a company of soldiers left in the entire battalion.

Battalion Commander Lei Wen Yu requested support from Gui Yongqing, the commander of the Military Academy, but was told that the entire Central Military Academy had suffered heavy casualties in the fighting these days, and all the reserve teams had already been put into battle.

Now there was no way to send a single soldier, and the position could only be defended by himself.

Knowing that there were no more reinforcements, Battalion Commander Lei Wen Yu ordered the soldiers: "Hold on to the last moment."

This was a last resort decision. Behind them was Nanjing City.

This was the capital, and the invaders could not be allowed to enter.

Now the Japanese devils' shells were constantly exploding on the position.

The surviving soldiers silently returned to their respective positions, prepared their weapons, and waited for the Japanese devils' attack.

What was the outcome of persevering against Japanese devils who outnumbered them dozens of times?

Every soldier in these Central Military Academy soldiers knew it clearly.

They still silently held on to the position.

Just when these dense artillery fires were at their fiercest.

Regiment Commander Asukawa Shizu personally ordered: "Change to poison gas bombs!"

The shells falling from the sky suddenly made a hissing sound, emitting strange smoke and a pungent odor.

"Poison gas bombs!" Battalion Commander Lei Wen Yu shouted loudly.

The Central Military Academy was equipped with the best equipment.

"Gas masks! Put on gas masks!"
