The No. 6 watchtower is now like a hedgehog with a spike spreading out, harvesting the life of the attacker from a high point. The soldiers were soon forced to close to the city wall and pull over the corpses that were covered by the other side, and the bullets flew from above. Three Japanese planes appeared in the sky, circled slightly, and roared towards the No. 57 watchtower. A long string of bombs fell from the belly of the plane, and a series of explosions rang out inside and outside the Great Wall. Wang Bairun looked at the sun flag flying on the No. 6 watchtower and the corpses on the city wall. From last night to now, he organized three attacks, and no attack reached the end of the ladder. The attack after dawn did not reach half the distance.

"Organize machine guns to cover the air." Wang Bairun shouted after the bomb's smoke. The order was quickly executed. The firepower network composed of five or six light machine guns drove the enemy planes to a higher place. But Wang Bairun was a little helpless against this hedgehog-like watchtower No. 6.

"You can't fight like this, it will have no effect." After Deng Zhongmei, the chief of staff of the Eighth Regiment, Du Yuming raised his head and frowned and said to Zheng Dongguo. Zheng Dongguo did not answer. He also knew that the sacrifice was too great, but what if it was not like this? Is there a better way?

"Call the phone and ask when the artillery will arrive?" Zheng Dongguo said to Deng Zongmei with a little impatient voice, and a hint of embarrassment slipped across Du Yuming's face.

Zheng Dongguo noticed Du Yuming's unhappiness, but he had no time to care about this. Now he was extremely irritated. The No. 6 watchtower was like a thorn stuck in his throat. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it. The enemy was limited to the No. 6 watchtower. Just prevent the enemy from coming up." Du Yuming quickly suppressed the unhappiness. He knew that it was not Zheng Dongguo's original intention, but a release under huge pressure.

When Zheng Dongguo just heard Du Yuming's words, he was very dissatisfied, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to think that Du Yuming's words made sense. The terrain of the No. 6 watchtower determines that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it also has a flaw, that is, it is difficult for subsequent troops to break through directly from the No. 6 watchtower.

"Weizhi recommends transferring the cannons at night and bombarding the watchtowers directly." Song Yunfei suggested: "In addition, order the engineers to quickly create a batch of protective iron plates or protective sandbags."

Zheng Dongguo's eyes lit up and immediately accepted these two suggestions. He looked at Song Yunfei and said, "This Zhuang Wenjie is too good at using people. Talents like Yunfei are still serving as adjutants for him. I am sorry for him. Yunfei, would you like to come to me? Start with the battalion commander and ask you to be the regiment commander within a year."

"Brother Gui Ting, if you dare to say this in front of him, I will only accept you." Before Song Yunfei could answer, Du Yuming interrupted without any yin and yang.

"Nothing is there. Next time I see him, I will mention it in person. At least I was his party representative." Having said that, anyone could see that he was a little indifferent. Deng Zhongmei and other officers of the Eighth Regiment were sneering secretly. The Second Division was the direct line of Huangpu, formerly the Second Training Regiment of the Whampoa Military Academy. However, after several adjustments and reorganizations, the troops below had long been in the same place. For example, the 7th Company that Zhuang Jihua worked for was no longer in this division. He was taken to the First Division by Hu Zongnan. However, even the troops formed later still graduated from Huangpu Military Academy. For example, Deputy Regiment Commander Rong Junxian Chief of Staff Deng Zhongmei graduated from Huangpu Third Phase. Of course, these people knew a lot about Zhuang Jihua.

"Don't. Chief Zheng looks down on me. I am very grateful to you, but I can't live without Chief Zhuang." Song Yunfei said lightly. Of course, he knew that Zheng Dongguo was joking. Don't say whether he really dared to ask him in front of Zhuang Jihua, even if he spoke, Zhuang Jihua would never agree. However, this matter must be eliminated in the bud and he really wanted it. That might cause some unnecessary trouble and lay hidden dangers.

"Drink, it seems that the Cultural Revolution is right..." Just as he was talking about this, a sharp roar followed by a violent explosion not far from the command center. Zheng Dongguo and Du Yuming walked to the observation port at the same time, grabbed the telescope and observed it at the front line.

The Japanese plane had left, and the large-scale artillery bombardment began again. Du Yuming discovered a strange phenomenon. The shells fell near the No. 8 watchtower and No. 1234 watchtower were far more than the No. 57 watchtower. Even if the two watchtowers were dropped, they were only some small-caliber artillery shells. He thought about it for a moment and understood that the Japanese army was afraid of accidentally injuring the No. 6 watchtower. This discovery made him feel a ridiculous feeling.

The Japanese army's large-scale artillery lasted for two hours, and almost all watchtowers were damaged to varying degrees. The city walls were also blown down several places, forming gaps, and blood and flesh flew everywhere near the gaps. The Chinese soldiers on the Great Wall had almost nowhere to hide. They could only fight against the projectiles falling like rain with fearless courage.

After the shelling, the ground attack began. Chinese soldiers emerging from all over the place quickly rushed to the edge of the scrambled corners and observed the yellow ants squirming on the hillside. With the commander's order, a rain of bullets poured down from the city wall. The yellow ants paused for a moment, and then began to crawl forward tenaciously.

The counterattack on the city wall became even more fierce, and grenades fell one after another, exploded among the yellow ants. The yellow ants also fought back and threw grenades on the city wall. However, only a few grenades could be thrown on the city wall. Obviously, in this round of grenade battle, the Zhong** team on the Great Wall easily won.

However, the shelling caused a large number of casualties to the Central Team on the Great Wall. The defenders could not completely prevent the enemy from approaching the gap, and the most intense battles began at the gap.

The Japanese soldiers rushed here rushed up frantically. The fanaticism of the occupied Great Wall made them ignore the rain of bullets pouring down on both sides of the city wall. The Chinese soldiers on the city wall fought back with a more resolute attitude. Both sides fought to the death with the gap, and the bodies gradually filled the gap, forming a physical human wall.

Wang Bairun sat in a corner of the No. 5 watchtower. He was injured by the shelling just now. A piece of shrapnel cut off one of his scalp, and another piece of shrapnel drilled into his left leg. The requests for reinforcements from various places made him temporarily forget the pain of the wound.

"Hold on! Damn, hold on!" Wang Bairun shouted fiercely. Now he didn't have more troops in his hands: "Call Commander Xiang here!"

"Report, Battalion Commander Xiang died!" The messenger ran over and shouted: "Captain Gao requested reinforcements!"

Wang Bairun said to the messenger with a pale face: "Go to the regiment headquarters and tell the deputy regiment commander, just say I said it, and ask him to transfer the regiment guard company! Hurry!"

The messenger turned around and ran away. Wang Bairun looked at the sixteen people in the watchtower. Now there were seven people left. The few shells just now caused countless casualties and injuries in the watchtower. He pointed to the two soldiers and roared: "You, you, go to reinforce Captain Gao immediately and tell him that he must block it and not retreat! Do you understand!"

"I understand, don't retreat!" After saying that, the two soldiers turned around and ran out. They were already the last force Wang Bairun could send.

However, Zheng Dongguo had already expected that his situation was not good. Without receiving a request for help, he drew a company from the 11th regiment that had just arrived and ordered them to reinforce the city wall immediately. Zheng Dongguo's decision was timely. When this company arrived, seven or eight Japanese troops had rushed up to the city wall from the gap between the watchtowers No. 3 and 4. The Chinese team immediately launched a counterattack and immediately suppressed them. Then they blocked the gap with machine guns.

The sudden increase in firepower on the city wall made the Japanese army understand that the new reinforcements of the Chinese team had arrived. The Japanese Juruo's momentum suddenly frustrated, and the soldiers began to retreat spontaneously. Seeing this, the Japanese commander was very anxious and waved his command knife and charged forward first, but he was knocked down by a flying bullet after a few steps.

The fierce battle lasted for a whole day. When the night landed, half of the 11th Regiment had already filled the hole of the eight buildings, and the entire position had actually been taken over by the 11th Regiment. Wang Bairun was carried off the position in anger and helpless manner. He was now injured everywhere. The worst was the shrapnel on his abdomen. Zheng Dongguo ignored Rong Junxian's protest and ordered the 11th Regiment to take over the position and the 8th Regiment retreated and acted as a reserve team.

When the battle was the most intense in the afternoon, the artillery regiment arrived, and the transfer process was very unsuccessful. The Japanese planes discovered their whereabouts. The two planes chased them frantically. They walked and hid, and finally hid in a mountain depression for more than an hour before they avoided the Japanese plane. As soon as they arrived, Deng Zhongmei immediately asked them to launch artillery bombardment on the Japanese army and cut off the Japanese follow-up troops. However, Song Yunfei firmly opposed it, believing that our army still has strength now and it is not appropriate to expose the news of the arrival of artillery too early. Du Yuming also supported Song Yunfei's opinion. The Japanese artillery fire far exceeded our army. What's more important is that the Japanese large-caliber artillery was outside the range of our army's artillery. Once the Japanese artillery position was discovered by the Japanese army, it would only fall into a situation where we were beaten and could not fight back, which would cause unnecessary losses to the artillery.

But the situation on the front line was really dangerous. There were only less than 200 people left in the morning of the No. 7 and 8 watchtower, and the reserve team was gone long ago. When Zheng Dongguo was hesitant, Song Yunfei mentioned the Niuxing Battle. Although Zhuang Jihua fought very hard in the Niuxing Battle, he just did not use artillery until the most critical moment, he defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and defeated their morale, which played a crucial role in defending Niuxing.

"Of course, the Japanese army is different from Sun Chuanfang. However, if our army fires artillery now, the Japanese army will quickly detect the actions of our artillery and determine the position of our artillery within a few minutes. At that time, we will not be able to cut off the enemy's follow-up troops, and the artillery will suffer losses." Song Yunfei's attitude is very firm. There are methods for determining the local artillery position in his special textbooks, and it is very simple. He believes that as long as the trained soldiers can determine the artillery position within five minutes.

Hearing Song Yunfei's words, Zheng Dongguo finally decided not to use artillery soldiers for the time being.

In the evening, the engineer company made more than 20 baffles to the position. The artillery carefully pushed the war defense cannons onto the city wall, and then carried him to the No. 5 watchtower. Similarly, a dark muzzle was also exposed in the door of the No. 7 watchtower.

The movement of the No. 57 watchtower had long been heard by the Japanese army at No. 6 watchtower. They were vigilant and closely watched the city walls on both sides to prevent the sneak attacks of the ** team.
