On December 8, 1937, the Japanese army broke through Chunhua's peripheral defense line and advanced towards Nanjing.
In the Fugui Mountain Tunnel, at the Teaching Corps Headquarters, Gui Yongqing and Chief of Staff Qiu Qingquan were staring at the map, "Captain, the Japanese army has broken through Chunhua.
The Corps' cavalry battalion has engaged the Japanese army.
It is estimated that the main force of the Japanese army will arrive soon."
Qiu Qingquan reminded Gui Yongqing worriedly.
"Well, Chief of Staff, use the phone to notify each regiment to prepare for the battle, and notify the reserve team to prepare.
I feel that the first attack will not be easy."
On the high ground of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, soldiers of the Fourth Company were crawling in bunkers and hidden soldier caves at the back of the hillside.
Only a few observation posts were left on the main highland position, and light and heavy machine guns were also placed in the hidden soldier caves.
In the distance, the Pingdi Brothers Company was responsible for the bunker fortifications.
The preparations have been completed, but the shooter has withdrawn.
The patter of gunfire was getting closer and closer, "Platoon leader, why are the Japanese firing guns randomly and they haven't hit us yet?"
He Kun was extremely puzzled by the Japanese's seemingly wasting bullets.
Zhang Wei glanced at him: "They are chasing the defeated troops of the peripheral troops."
The sound of gunfire got closer and closer, and with a bang, a shell hit the front of the Zhongshanling Highlands, but it missed.
"The Japanese are coming, stay down, stay down, they're going to be bombarded."
There was chaos in the Tibetan Soldier Cave.
A series of artillery shells exploded on the position, but the density was very sparse and the power was not particularly powerful.
"Platoon leader, what's going on?
What's going on with this gun?"
But Zhang Wei couldn't figure it out for a while.
"He Kun, go call the observation post and ask."
Yes, He Kun rushed out.
Before he came back, he heard him shouting, "Platoon leader, the Japanese infantry are coming, come out quickly."
Zhang Wei raised the Mauser rifle and said, "Attention, the whole platoon, prepare to fight, and take your positions."
More than 30 people rushed out of the Tibetan soldier's cave and climbed into the trenches and foxholes on the high ground along the back hillside.
The Japanese shelling continued.
But it was still sparse.
A few hundred meters away, the Japanese soldiers formed a triangular formation.
Under the command of the noncommissioned officer, they charged with their slender 38-guns.
The light machine gun team was also rushing forward.
They were too far away now and could not reach it.
The shooting distance of the crooked handle.
But he didn't see the heavy machine gun.
Zhang Wei suddenly understood that the Japanese shelling was so sparse just now.
It was probably just the 92 infantry artillery shelling, and he didn't see the heavy machine gun group.
This group of devils was either a group of forwards or a group of pursuers.
Silly Que who is used to being chased by defeated troops.
"Okay, everyone in the platoon, listen up.
This is just a gang of flies.
They don't even have mountain artillery cover.
Don't be afraid of them.
Just listen to my order and fire again."
As the highest-quality unit in the national army, the teaching corps cannot do such things as firing guns indiscriminately.
Everyone follows the standards of the infantry drill code and aims responsibly.

The Japanese infantry had already reached a distance of 150 meters.
If they walked a few dozen meters, the grenade would fire.
Zhang Wei sweated and said, "Wait, wait, wait, 100 meters, let's fight."
For a moment, there was a loud sound of gunfire, the dull sound of Mauser rifles and the crisp Czech-style short bursts intertwined.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wei's first shot missed.
Hold on, hold on, and a Japanese soldier escaped.
The fire network rushed down the hillside.
It seemed that he wanted to throw away the grenade.
Zhang Wei pushed a 79 rifle bullet into the chamber of the gun, at three points and one line, with the butt of the gun against his shoulder.
The Japanese soldier took out a Type 91 grenade, broke the safety wire, knocked it lightly on the helmet, and suddenly stood up.
Unfortunately, a 79 bullet penetrated his chest, and the grenade fell weakly on the On the ground, Boom, and the person who pulled it apart turned into pieces.
There was loud gunfire throughout the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and the two sides were engaged in fierce exchanges of fire.
In the previous battle, about fourteen or five Japanese troops fell in front of a row of positions.
It can be said that this is the price the attacker must pay, and this At that time, the two sides faced each other within a distance of less than 70 meters.
Shooting, the quality of the Japanese army was immediately revealed.
They had changed from panic at the beginning to counterattack on the spot.
The noncommissioned officer had begun to lead the grenade group to shoot with the 95th command knife.
Some people began to be injured in the first row of positions.
Qiu The same goes for the great second row.
"Platoon leader, the Japanese are stuck with us and won't retreat."
He Kun fired a twenty-ring gun with a butt mounted on it and shouted at Zhang Wei.
"Where's the heavy machine gun?
Shoot their grenade."
Zhang Wei rushed to the heavy machine gun squad.
They had just changed positions.
The old squad leader, shoot the Japanese grenade. , the hillside is gentle and cannot be penetrated, platoon leader."
Grenades continued to hit the position, and people were constantly injured.
Fortunately, no one was killed.
Seeing that the defense of the first row was in chaos, the Japanese infantry began to gradually crawl forward along the hillside.
After a fierce exchange of fire, there were no casualties on either side, and only two or three Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.
Zhang Wei took out a long-handled grenade: "Brothers, throw grenades and kill them."
The soldiers took out long-handled grenades from their waists.
More than twenty grenades flew out of the trench and rolled down the hillside.
Boom, new mud and fragments flew in all directions.
The four or five Japanese infantrymen rushing ahead were hit instantly, and the grenade stopped firing because of the explosion.
A row of machine guns and rifles took advantage of the panic of the Japanese troops and followed suit.
The Czech light machine guns were spitting flames, and golden shells were thrown out of the receivers.
The smoke from the grenade explosion had not dissipated, and several more people were hit before the Japanese army could react.
Some people have already begun to retreat along the hillside .
Zhang Wei saw the decline of the Japanese army and said, "Brothers, work harder, push them down, and hit them hard with the heavy machine gun."
The commander of the 24th heavy machine gun pulled the trigger, and the canvas ammunition bag was fed into the gun. , the cooling water in the cooling cylinder began to boil.
As soon as Zhang Wei finished speaking, a shell exploded near the heavy machine gun position.
The flying shrapnel knocked a saddler sergeant to the ground.
It was the 92 infantry artillery that was covering the retreat of the charging infantry.
"Quickly move the position."

Zhang Wei and several soldiers from the machine gun squad moved away the heavy machine gun and moved to another machine gun position.
The intensified Japanese artillery fire was actually a signal to retreat.
The entire Japanese army in front of the battalion position was retreating.
Several 75 infantry artillery shells fell and exploded in the Japanese ranks.
They were German infantry artillery pieces directly commanded by the battalion commander.
The Jinling-made 82 mortar controlled by company commander Wu Zhong also fired.
The shells continued to explode on the hillside where the Japanese troops were retreating.
Almost all light and heavy firearms were firing.
The flying shrapnel created a path of death for the Japanese troops.
Zhang Wei took the rifle and knocked down a Japanese who wanted to take the crooked weapon back.
The original owner of this crooked weapon has been sent to see Amaterasu by infantry artillery.
"Cease fire," Zhang Wei shouted at the top of his lungs, "The Japanese are running away, don't waste bullets."
The patter of gunfire gradually stopped, and the infantry artillery and mortars also stopped firing.
Zhang Wei collapsed and sat down.
After the battle, his hand hurt even when he pulled the bolt of the gun.
Everyone sat in the trench panting.
Zhang Wei looked at the distance and said to the soldiers: "You have fought well, solidified your defenses, and dug out fortifications.
The next round of attacks will not be slow."
"He Kun, take a few people to help dig out a few more important Machine gun position, I'm afraid the Japanese have figured out the location of the machine gun."
"Yes, Platoon Commander."
He Kun put away his twenty rings and took a few people to dig a position.
The soldiers were busy repairing the fortifications and replenishing ammunition.
Zhang Wei frowned.
This was just the first exploratory attack.
There was no serious artillery cover.
A real field attack by the Japanese main force would be a hundred times more dangerous than this
