Chapter 13: Annihilating the Devil's Brigade 2

  With the sacrifice of the last two wounded soldiers, after losing more than 200 men, Shimada's Independent Unit finally broke through the blocking unit's defensive line.

  At this time, the 28th Infantry Regiment was also on the verge of collapse under the dense hail of bullets. Shimamoto Masakazu led the Independent Battalion to rapidly advance towards the surrounded 28th Regiment.

  As the last two devils were shot down, this once proud and invincible 28th Regiment was completely annihilated. Hearing that Shimamoto's independent guard unit was approaching, Zhang Mingyu hastily ordered: "Brothers! Avenge our fallen brothers! Charge!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Mingyu held a submachine gun in each hand and fired fiercely at the devils, immediately knocking down over a dozen of them who were rushing forward.

  Dozens of machine guns and submachine guns, led by Zhang Mingyu, formed a dense bullet curtain with intensive firing, and the devils on the opposite side fell down in batches!

  Soon, the well-trained devils were subjected to intense firepower and quickly sought cover on both sides of the street, firing at Chinese troops. Both sides engaged in fierce crossfire, with bullets flying back and forth like meteors.

  "Kill the Chinks! Fire! Kill those damned Chinese, avenge the brave warriors of the Empire who died in vain!"

  Zhang Haisheng, who had long been aiming at him, decisively pulled the trigger. "Bang" The bullet quickly left the barrel and shot towards Islanda's head. The high-speed flying bullet accurately shot into his skull. The bullet flew out from the other side, and a mixture of red and white flowed out from the bullet hole. Islanda's pig-killing scream suddenly stopped! The command knife in his hand fell to the ground.

  Just as both sides were engaged in fierce shooting, the guard platoon led by Li Gang came from the other side of the street and launched a fierce sweep with more than 30 submachine guns, killing more than 50 Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard while exchanging fire with Chinese troops at the front.

  The devils who lost their commander were caught in a pincer movement from both front and back, and immediately fell into chaos. Under the fierce firepower of the Chinese army, the devils suffered heavy casualties! A lieutenant colonel hastily shouted: "Retreat! Retreat! The Chinese fire is too strong! Quick retreat!"

  At that moment, the devils ran away from both sides of the alley, Zhang Mingyu began to order a pursuit, and the soldiers beat the fallen enemies from behind! Without firing a single shot, one devil fell down, and after chasing for over 500 meters, the soldiers stopped pursuing and started clearing the battlefield. From then on, the Japanese 28th Infantry Regiment was completely annihilated, including its commander Hirakawa Ichiro, while the Independent Guard Battalion also lost more than 400 men. Zhang Mingyu's Chinese garrison also sacrificed more than 600 men.

  The sky gradually darkened, and the Japanese army also stopped attacking! The command post of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army. "What?! The 28th Infantry Regiment was completely annihilated?" Kaju Toshio roared in anger.

  "Yes, sir! The 28th Infantry Regiment from Colonel Hirata on down has fought to the last man!" answered a lieutenant who had escaped from an independent battalion.

  When he heard that his elite regiment, which had made great achievements on the Songhu battlefield, was annihilated by the enemy, Koku Saito burst into rage "Baka! A bunch of idiots!" He slapped the lieutenant colonel more than a dozen times.

  At this time, Zhang Mingyu was commanding the headquarters in Nanjing. He gathered Zhang Biao, Zhang Haisheng, Li Gang and Wang Tienan, a military officer from the original training team, to discuss their next move. This Wang Tienan had immense strength and high martial arts skills, so he was deeply appreciated by Zhang Mingyu!

  "What's the casualty situation like today?" Zhang Mingyu asked.

  "Besides the more than 600 people who sacrificed their lives in our 28th Infantry Regiment, our brothers who were responsible for blocking the enemy in other directions also sacrificed more than 600 people. If we continue to fight like this today, all of us will be gone within three days." Zhang Haisheng said.

  "Report! Sir, according to the report from the brother in front, the commander of the Sixth Division of the devils is going to move his command post to the top of Guanghua Gate City Wall!" a communication soldier came in and reported.

  It turned out that the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army knew the news that the 28th Infantry Regiment was completely annihilated, and he was so angry that he was fuming with rage! He shouted: "Baka, Kaju Toshihiko this fool, it's his stupid command that caused the entire 28th Infantry Regiment to be wiped out! The face of the Great Japanese Imperial Army has been lost because of him! I will send him to a military tribunal!"

  The deputy said: "At this time, it is the key moment of the Nanjing battle. If we change generals at this critical juncture, it will have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers! This would be detrimental to the Nanjing war effort. Instead, order Kotaka to lead the 6th Division to capture Nanjing and wash away this shame!"

  Matsui Iwane thought for a moment and said "Alright! Send a telegram to the 6th Division, order them to capture Nanjing within three days."

  Hi

  Taniyama Shigeru moved his command post to the top of Guanghua Gate in order to boost morale!

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingyu's eyes lit up and he said "Great! I see you're still running in that direction, Gao Shoufu!"

  Zhang Biao and others saw Zhang Mingyu burst out laughing! He hastily asked: "Master, what's so funny? The enemy command post moved to the city tower, why are you so happy?"

  Zhang Mingyu didn't answer but instead asked, "Haisheng, how much explosives are left in the warehouse?" Zhang Haisheng thought for a moment before responding, "There should be at least six or seven thousand catties of explosives left!"

  "Alright! As long as we dig a tunnel straight to Goro's command center and bury these six or seven thousand pounds of explosives there... Boom!"

  Got it? Zhang Mingyu asked with a raise of his hands.

  "Are we going to blow up the enemy's command center? But from here to the enemy's command center, it's at least over ten miles away. Can we withstand the enemy's attack before we can dig our way there?" Wang Tiehan said.

  "This is also!" Zhang Mingyu closed his eyes and thought silently.

  "I know there's a shortcut to the enemy command center," a soft and gentle voice sounded, and a beautiful woman in military uniform walked in. Everyone turned their heads to look, and it was Du Yue, who Zhang Mingyu had brought back a few days ago. She was wearing a brand new military uniform, looking pretty yet elegant.

  Zhang Biao was the first to speak up: "What do you know, you little girl? Get out of here! We're having a meeting!"

  Du Yue pouted and said, "You don't let me speak, I just want to say that in Nanjing city there is a sewer pipe, later changed into a cable duct. Two people can pass through at the same time, and if slightly widened, more people can pass through!"

  "Where is the entrance?" Zhang Mingyu asked. Seeing Zhang Mingyu ask her, Du Yue's face unconsciously flushed with two red clouds, and then she pointed at Zhang Biao and said: "You let him apologize to me! And guarantee that he will never call me Xiao Yatou again, I'll tell you where the entrance is!"

  Zhang Biao opened his mouth, wanting to say something! But looking at Zhang Mingyu's deadly gaze, he swallowed hard and stuttered: "Sorry... I promise not to call you that again"

  "The authentic entrance is right at my home!" Du Yue said with a smile. But then Zhang Biao suddenly said, "From now on, I'll call you Master's wife! Haha!"

  Upon hearing Zhang Biao's words, Zhang Mingyu's old face also turned red for once. He glanced at Du Yue, whose head was lowered almost to her chest. Her small face was as red as a ripe apple.

  Zhang Mingyu slapped Zhang Biao's head with a loud slap and said, "Still smiling like an idiot, hurry up and transport the explosives!"

  Zhang Biao smiled and ran out with a swagger!
