The warrior and the Japanese soldier who was attacking the sneak attacked. During the fight, the gas mask on the Japanese's head was pulled off by the angry soldiers. After losing the gas mask, a large amount of toxic gas was immediately injected by the Japanese soldiers. Not long after, they foamed at the mouth and twitched all over.

The soldier threw away the wet towel on his face and put the gas mask that had been pulled from the Japanese on his head. When he turned his head, he saw the children who were crying and crying just now lying quietly on his mother, without any movement.

He ran over quickly, but found that all the three children were gone. The warrior was heartbroken and roared and stood up to rush towards the other Japanese.

Such situations were almost staged throughout the position. As time went by, more and more people lost their ability to move due to poisoning, either died under the bayonet of the Japanese or were killed by poisonous gas.

In order to protect the weak children, some soldiers covered the wet towels on their faces, but they roared and rushed towards the enemy group, and at the same time pulled the grenades on their bodies.

The entire battlefield was like a Shura hell, with tragic scenes everywhere. The people's resolute reinforcements were deeply inspired by all the soldiers. No one retreated. They all fought with the Japanese until the last moment of their lives ending with their determination to fight to the end.

………………………….

Outside the battlefield, in the observation post of the 30th Japanese Brigade, the brigade commander Sasaki Daichi was closely watching the battle situation ahead. Seeing that the attacking troops had all broken into the national position, Sasaki Daichi finally breathed a deep breath. Although the aviation troops were unable to provide air support due to weather reasons, the Imperial Army still defeated the opposite Chinese army with its powerful poisonous gas bombs.

Just as Sasaki Kazuichi was overjoyed for victory, a sudden change occurred. A scout rushed over panting and stood attentively and reported: "General, it's not good, the Chinese reinforcements were found in the northeast direction."

"What? Bagaya Road" Sasaki was in a mixed manner and couldn't help but be furious and ordered: "Tell Susakawa Shizuji to attack with all his might. The battle must be resolved within ten minutes. Order the artillery corps to launch artillery attacks behind the Chinese military positions immediately, implement fire blockade, and prevent the Chinese military reinforcements from reinforcements."

The "Hai" scouts and a combat staff officer next to him bowed their heads and responded in unison. They then turned around and left.

To the north of Taicang County, Zhang Xinghan arrived with the guard company and more than 800 defeated soldiers who had been brought together. When he found that the war situation was urgent, Zhang Xinghan immediately waved his hand and said, "Quick and Reinforcement"

"Yes," Li Dashan responded loudly, and then led a group of guards and soldiers to rush towards the battlefield. Although the defeated soldiers had already run dozens of kilometers and were already exhausted, they could only follow him with their teeth.

At this moment, a sharp and harsh shelling sound suddenly sounded in the sky, "Qu...Qu...Qu..." In a flash, the shells roared and fell down with a whistle.

It exploded in the crowd of defeated soldiers who were charging. A violent explosion tore more than a dozen soldiers into pieces, and their broken limbs and arms were thrown high by the air waves. The scene was terrible.

Seeing this, the other defeated soldiers were immediately frightened. Zhang Xinghan snatched a light machine gun from a machine gun, held the machine gun and strode forward sternly: "Those who retreat without authorization die, those who advance bravely have brothers, rush up with me to chop up the Japanese." After speaking, he took the lead in rushing forward in the fire of artillery.

"Roar" Li Dashan pulled out the big sword on his back, raised the sword and roared and rushed up. Then all the officers and soldiers of the guard company followed and rushed forward with a scream.

Liu Guodong looked at Zhang Xinghan's charge back with admiration, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, there is no coward in our 73rd Brigade who is fighting with me."

"Run"

"Run"

With the commanders taking the lead, the defeated soldiers shouted loudly, holding the steel guns in their hands rushed forward in the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese.

During the charge, people were unfortunately hit by artillery shells and died on the spot, but more people shouted without fear and continued to rush forward.

At this moment, perhaps only by shouting with all your heart can we vent and cover up the fear in their hearts. With the commander taking the lead in charge, even if these soldiers are afraid of death, they can only scream and keep up, not for anything else, just because they are soldiers, a group of the bravest soldiers.

The sound of roaring cannons echoed in his ears and roared in his mouth. The soldiers seemed to have returned to the moment when they fought bloody battles with the Japanese on the Songhu front line. The blood that had already gradually cold in their bodies seemed to boil again.

……………………………………

"General, if you don't know, the Chinese will break through our firepower blockade." A combat staff member in the frontier of the Japanese army reported to Sasaki with a hurried expression.

"Baga" Sasaki said coldly with a pale face: "Order the guard squadron directly under the brigade to join the battle immediately, assist the attacking troops, and be sure to defeat them and completely capture the position."

"General, the guard squadron is responsible for the safety of the brigade headquarters and rashly invests in the attack. If there is anything unexpected, the consequences will be unimaginable." The combat staff member was shocked and persuaded him quickly after hearing this.

"Bagaya Road, execute the order immediately, go quickly." Sasaki roared in anger.

The "Hai" combat staff knew that the brigade commander was going to make a desperate bet and stopped talking. He immediately took the saber and took the order and left with a sabre.

……………………

In the position of Zhongrui Regiment, when Zhang Xinghan led reinforcements to the position, he found that the entire position was shrouded in brown-gray smoke. Seeing the tragic scene on the position, Zhang Xinghan immediately understood and immediately waved his hand to stop the troops' charge.

"What's wrong with the group seat?" Li Dashan asked in confusion.

"The Japanese released poison gas bombs to our position. Fortunately, the poison gas has spread a lot now. Tell the brothers that after rushing in, try to snatch the Japanese gas mask as much as possible, and cover their mouths with a wet towel to breathe." Zhang Xinghan said, "Ka" and pulled the bolt.

"Yes," Li Dashan responded with a loud bang, and then turned around and conveyed the order.

The shouts of "kill" sounded again, and Zhang Xinghan took the lead and rushed forward. More than a thousand officers and soldiers behind him shouted in unison, followed by a huge momentum.

With the addition of reinforcements and the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the military and civilians on the position was greatly boosted, and the originally precarious position was immediately stabilized.

The Japanese could not capture the battle for a long time and suffered heavy losses. They were trying hard to persevere. Suddenly, a new force of the national army joined, which made the Japanese feel the pressure doubled. If it weren't for the old Japanese who helped Kawashiji, the old Japanese soldiers would have been unable to withstand the pressure and retreated.

As the poisonous gas was gradually blown away by the air, the situation on the battlefield also changed, and the Zhongrui regiment gradually gained the upper hand. Although another guard squadron of the Japanese army joined the battle, they were unable to defeat the Zhongrui regiment. The fierce battle lasted for about an hour, and Sasaki was helpless and issued an order to retreat.

The 16th Division Headquarters.

At this time, the sky was already dark and the night was quietly in the process of generals.

The commander of the middle division of the headquarters, Nakajima Atsugo, was furious. As the commander-in-chief of the attack, Sasaki, a major general and the front-end commander of the enemy, Cole Susakawa Shizuki, stood aside in panic. He was scolded by Nakajima Atsugo and lowered his head in shame.

"The general encountered an enemy in this battle of Taicang, which is actually the elite Chinese troops. It can be called the strong enemy of the Imperial Army. At present, all units of our 30th Brigade have suffered heavy losses and are unable to attack. It is recommended that we still garrison on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the 19th Brigade and the Cavalry Regiment before attacking." Nakazawa Mio, who was next to him, saw that Nakajima Atsugo was slightly calmed down, immediately suggested.

"The defenders of the Haga Taicang have been fighting fiercely with our troops for many days, and their losses are heavier than us. Haven't you seen that they have reached the point of letting civilians go to the battlefield? We only need to launch an attack to defeat them and win the victory of this battle." Nakajima Imasago rebuked him angrily and immediately said: "Give power to Commander Matsui, and ask the aviation troops to provide us with air support tomorrow dawn and assist our troops in launching another attack on Taicang County."

"Hai" Miuu Nakazawa lowered his head and responded, then turned around and left awkwardly.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Taicang County, East Gate.

Below the wall of the east gate, the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers were filled with the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Zhao Desheng, Zhou Wei and others, came to Wu Wenhu's body with grief.

He lifted the white cloth and looked at Wu Wenhu's pale face. Tears unknowingly surged into Zhang Xinghan's eyes. At this moment, he recalled the plot of meeting Wu Wenhu in Luodian.

"The commander is very humble and the second platoon commander of the second platoon of the 2nd Division of the National ** Army, Wu Wenhu..."

"The chief misunderstood. I am willing to stay, obey your command, and swear to defend Luodian and Shanghai to the death..."

Before we knew it, a line of clear tears quietly slid from Zhang Xinghan's handsome face. At this time, Zhao Desheng behind him said with a crying voice: "Group, when will we still have to hold on to? We fought so badly in this battle. Many of the old brothers who were originally from the teaching team and the 88th Division were no longer there. Wenhu was dead, and if we continue to fight, our Zhongrui Group will be all over."

Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but fell into deep thought. After a moment, he suddenly turned around and said coldly: "Gather the troops."

Zhao Desheng and Zhou Wei looked at each other in confusion, and then stood attentively: "Yes"

Soon the entire Zhongrui regiment was assembled, and the positions outside the city were handed over to Liu Guodong and Zhang Baohua and others to defend.

Zhang Xinghan strode to the front of the team and looked at the troops with less than one battalion. A trace of grief flashed in his eyes. The original number of more than 4,000 people, but now there are less than 500 wounded people left.

Zhang Xinghan's eyes swept across the team coldly. Wherever his eyes passed, the soldiers raised their heads and chests. Even the wounded soldiers who were injured and lost were no exception. They gritted their teeth and endured the pain and stood up straight.

After sweeping his eyes over the subordinates present, Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a heavy voice: "Brothers, you are all good brothers who sacrificed and are also good. We, the Central Rui Group, have never produced a coward since its formation. I feel very proud and proud of this."

"Now I need three hundred people to carry out a difficult task. I don't want to deceive everyone. This task is extremely dangerous and will last forever. Anyone who wants to leave must be determined to be a benevolent and die for his country." Zhang Xinghan said coldly with a torched look on his face.

"Can the rank of the group tell the brothers what the mission is?" Li Dashan asked loudly.

"Attack the Japanese artillery positions at night and destroy the Japanese poisonous gas bombs." Zhang Xinghan replied calmly. Wu Wenhu and most of the officers and soldiers died under the Japanese poisonous gas bombs. In order to relieve the Japanese poisonous gas bombs from the threat to the Central Sharp Group, Zhang Xinghan must destroy them both public and private.

"The Second Battalion Commander and many brothers died under the poisonous gas bomb of dog days. I participated in this mission," Li Dashan said in the lead.

"We also participate in avenging our camp." More than a dozen surviving soldiers of the Second Battalion expressed their opinions in unison.

“I will also participate…”

“I will also participate….”

Soon the officers and soldiers present raised their hands to express their willingness to participate in the night attack.

In the end, Zhang Xinghan selected 300 soldiers with excellent physical fitness and no injuries, each equipped with a big knife and a grenade.

"The vision at night is unknown. In order to distinguish between enemies and us, I now order all the soldiers to take off their shirts. If you encounter clothes later, do you understand?" Zhang Xinghan shouted loudly with a big knife in his hand.

"Understand" all the officers and soldiers immediately agreed in unison.
