Chapter 170 Preparing for a Breakout
"Changfeng, it seems the Japs have gone completely crazy this time!"
Zhao Ziqing's words were full of excitement. No matter how many Japanese soldiers came, they couldn't break through here.
On the contrary, the more devils come, the more people will die!
Gu Changfeng didn't have this idea. Instead, he looked at the 51st Division's defense line with concern, and said after thinking for a while.
"If the 51st Division can't hold out, we'll probably have to break out as soon as possible."
In fact, the main areas are the south and the west, both of which are open areas. When the Japanese charge, their formation can be deployed, and more Japanese soldiers can be deployed.
He doesn't have to worry about this, the main problem lies in the western position which is under the responsibility of the 302nd Regiment.
Thinking of this, Gu Changfeng said to Zhao Ziqing: "Old Zhao, the pressure on our side is small, you go to the 302nd Regiment to provide support."
"With you here, at least the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers can be suppressed a little."
Zhao Ziqing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, if you can't hold on any longer, I'll retreat and we'll all evacuate together then."
"If the west can't hold on, the 51st Division will have to break out as well. Our side is definitely the best choice!"
Gu Changfeng's main purpose of staying was to kill more Japanese devils. If the time came to that, he would definitely run away first!
The special forces are now deployed outside with the same plan.
On the western position, facing the fierce attack of the Japanese, the 302nd Regiment, with support, remained fearless.
"Let's get closer before we fight. This time, I'm going to make these devils suffer a heavy loss."
The head of the 302nd Regiment, Cheng Zhi, shouted loudly
As the head of the regiment, he went directly to the front line. It can only be said that the pressure from the Japanese was indeed quite great.
The Japanese deployed three battalions in the west, and after fighting in the afternoon and evening, the 302nd Regiment now has only more than 1400 people left.
The Japanese had twice as many troops, and now the regiment commander Cheng Zhi also wanted to fight to the death.
As a graduate of the fifth class of Whampoa Military Academy, he was not afraid of sacrifice.
It can be said that the idea of a soldier dying on the battlefield and being loyal to his country has been engraved in his bones.
"Report to the commander, two people from Commander Gu are coming to support us."
A soldier ran forward and reported.
Cheng Zhi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "This guy Changfeng doesn't trust me, so he sent more people over. But what do these two people mean?"
After he finished speaking, he said to the soldier, "Lead the way, I want to see who this important person is."
He didn't find it strange, because Wang Yaowu had informed him before that he could call for artillery support in an emergency.
The only ones who can deploy these at this time are naturally under Gu Changfeng's command.
"Brother Cheng, nice to meet you again, haha!" When Zhao Ziqing saw Cheng Zhi, he laughed and went over to hug him.
Everyone knew Gu Changfeng when he was resting in Chunhua, so Zhao Ziqing didn't regard Cheng Zhi as a group leader.
"Haha, Changfeng actually called you over!" Cheng Zhi was very happy.
"Yes, Changfeng was afraid that you couldn't hold on here, so he asked me to come and help." Zhao Ziqing stated his intention directly.
He could have directly sniped him from a long distance, but he was worried about what Cheng Zhi might think, so he asked someone to notify him.
Cheng Zhi said with satisfaction: "Well, with you here, the Japs will suffer."
"Brother Cheng, let's talk after we defeat the Japanese."
The battlefield had already begun to intensify, and Zhao Ziqing could no longer stay. He ran here to kill the Japanese.
Cheng Zhi waved his hand and didn't say anything more when he saw that Zhao Ziqing had already started preparing.
In fact, Gu Changfeng and Zhao Ziqing were overthinking it. Cheng Zhi was not stupid, so he would naturally not push away things that would benefit him.
His self-esteem wasn't there to deal with this.
On the western position, the Japanese were nearly 100 meters away, and soldiers from both sides fell from time to time.
Da da da.
Fierce machine gun sounds appeared on the battlefield, and the soldiers in charge of heavy machine guns in the 302nd Regiment opened fire.
The 8 heavy machine guns are definitely powerful, especially for them as the defenders.
The Japanese cleared a large area on the battlefield in an instant.
"Changfeng's weapon support is timely, haha!"
Cheng Zhi was staring at the battlefield through a telescope from a few hundred meters away. Seeing that the Japanese had suffered a great loss, he was immediately overjoyed.
With the use of heavy machine guns, the situation on the western battlefield immediately reversed.
With the help of Zhao Ziqing's sniper attack, the Japanese's first wave of attack was successfully repelled.
"Bakayaro, they've received support from the Chinese in the south."
Captain Izo, who was in charge of the western battlefield, was the first to discover the existence of snipers and heavy machine guns, and he was so angry that he screamed.
The division commander's death order made him dare not retreat, and the regiment's artillery squadron was transferred back to the division for centralized use.
He now has no heavy weapons and relies entirely on the soldiers themselves.
Izo was very angry, but the soldiers of the 302nd Regiment began to pick up battlefield weapons.
They finally experienced this kind of happiness, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
"Baga, grenade launcher, shoot down those Chinese on the battlefield."
Isaiichiro shouted angrily.
People were picking up weapons in front of him, and they treated him as if he didn't exist. How could he bear it?
Rumble!
At Isa Ichiro's command, the Japanese grenadiers attacked quickly, shells fell on the position, and the soldiers of the 302nd Regiment fled in panic.
Isaichiro's anger was somewhat vented, but that was all.
Cheng Zhi dared to ask the soldiers to pick up weapons, so he was naturally not unprepared.
Soon, the artillery company that got the position took action.
Rumble!
16 mortars fired shells at the same time.
After a few rounds, more than a dozen grenade launchers and dozens of grenadiers were killed, and hundreds of nearby infantrymen were also affected.
Isaichiro's face turned even darker, and he opened his mouth but could no longer speak.
Cheng Zhile laughed heartily and pulled Zhao Ziqing who was nearby.
"You guys are really amazing. You actually have so many Japanese mortars. The Japanese are going to suffer a big loss now."
"We all fought for this with our lives, but all these good things were obtained through Changfeng's channels."
Zhao Ziqing was bored at the moment and was happy to chat with Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi was only about 30 years old, about the same age as Zhao Ziqing. After opening up, he began to ask about Zhao Ziqing's background.
This question made Zhao Ziqing shut up immediately. Identity issues have always been a taboo for him.
He didn't even tell Gu Changfeng, let alone Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi thought about it for a few seconds, but when he saw that he really didn't want to say anything, he gave up the idea.
It was 5 a.m., and just as the Japanese soldiers were becoming increasingly anxious, Yoshizumi Ryosuke took action.
The first was the tank troops, which were driven directly to the southwest battlefield.
Then, more than 20 mountain and field cannons were collected and bombarded Chunhua Town.
The battle line has become completely precarious!
"Commander Wang, we should evacuate. If we continue fighting, the losses will be huge."
Seeing this situation, Gu Changfeng didn't care about anything else and went straight to find Wang Yaowu.
Wang Yaowu checked the time and gritted his teeth as he ordered, "All units prepare to evacuate. The 302nd Regiment will take the rear. Inform the 305th Regiment to prepare for support."
He is also a decisive person. The Japanese have been preparing for so long just for this moment. If they don't retreat, he and Gu Changfeng will be eaten by the Japanese.
Gu Changfeng said, "In half an hour, I will have my men open a gap in the south, and then we can turn to Jinling."
Although the Japanese have deployed heavy troops in the south, their firepower can be measured.
With the special forces attacking from outside, it is not difficult to break through the Japanese encirclement. The difficult part is the Japanese chasing after them. However, the situation will be much better if there is someone to support them.
