Chapter 185: The Battle of Nanjing (9)
The 30th Brigade of the 6th Division, which attacked Guanghua Gate, was very quick. After the vanguard consolidated the position in front of Guanghua Gate, the artillery that followed pushed the mountain cannons and the 92 infantry cannons up and rushed towards the city gate. The city gate was lifted down, and the mud and sand inside the wall immediately poured out. Before the defenders at the city gate could react, a large number of Japanese soldiers were already rushing up to the city gate.
"Battle, brothers, beat me hard. Let the Japanese rush in and we will all be done." Yi Anhua, the major general of the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division who was responsible for defending Guanghua Gate, personally climbed the city wall and commanded the battle.
"Dadadada...Dadada..." The defenders at the city gate desperately shot at the Neon Army rushing up densely, causing the Japanese who were charging to be killed and injured. But when they opened Nanjing, the Japanese still rushed up to the gap at the city gate that had been blown up at all costs. More than a hundred Neon Army carried the 38th hood and even climbed up from the gap.
"Success Squad, organize the suicide squad and must shoot the Japanese out for me." Yi Anhua ordered the machine gun desperately to shoot at the Japanese under the city, and shouted.
In fact, dozens of guardians raised their bayonets and greeted the Japanese who were climbing up. For a moment, the sound of swords and swords and killing sounds shook the sky. When the bloody bayonet of Chinese soldiers penetrated the chest of the last Neon Army, hundreds of corpses of Neon Army and dozens of Chinese soldiers lay down from the city wall.
"...Boom, boom, boom..." The attack of the Japanese was repelled, followed by the Japanese's crazy artillery bombardment, followed by another round of attacks. The battle became more and more intense. The Guanghua Gate, which was blown up at the city gate, was broken through by the Neon Army many times. However, each time it was beaten out by the heroic defenders.
The 259th Brigade suffered a lot of casualties. Just blocking the Japanese who broke through the city gate, four or five hundred officers and soldiers had already fallen down. Just when Yi Anhua led his troops to support him and thought he was about to be unable to hold it up, suddenly there were bursts of "dong, dong, dong" mortar fire behind him, and mortar shells fell into the Huangliu, which was charging towards the city gate. Yi Anhua turned around and saw that the mortar company of the division's artillery had already been reinforced and was opening fire at the Japanese. Then a group of reinforcements climbed the city tower and joined the battle. Most of these reinforcements were carrying Huaji and Czech light machine guns. Yi Anhua saw clearly that these reinforcements were all officers and soldiers of the Division's Guard Battalion.
"Second, why did you come up in person?" Yi Anhua suddenly found that there was a tall lieutenant general in the crowd holding a submachine gun. If it were not Wang Jingjiu, the commander of the 71st Army and the commander of the 87th Division, who else would it be?
"Stop talking nonsense, you must guard the Guanghua Sect and never let the Japanese rush in." Wang Jingjiu hid behind the battlements of the city tower, shouting loudly while shooting at the city.
Wang Jingjiu personally led reinforcements to arrive in time. The officers and soldiers of the 259th Brigade, who were about to be unable to hold on, immediately cheered up and resisted desperately.
At the same time, Tang Shengzhi, who received Wang Jingjiu's report, urgently ordered the 156th Division of the 83rd Army who had withdrawn into the city to reinforce the reinforcements on the front lines of Tongji Gate and Guanghua Gate, and finally repelled the Japanese's attack and blocked the gap.
Without the cheers of victory, the Neon Army's several consecutive high-intensity attacks had already exhausted all the officers and soldiers. Seeing the Japanese retreat, all the officers and soldiers sat down against the city wall, gasping for breath, and checking their respective ammunition. Except for the observation posts that were still lying on the city wall and the medical soldiers running around busy rescue the wounded.
"Military, fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise the Japanese would rush in." Yi Anhua put the kettle in with both hands and said with a look of gratitude.
Wang Jingjiu, who was gasping, drank a large mouthful of cold water and shook the submachine gun in his hand: "It's been so many years now, I have to pick up the gun and fuck it myself. It's all this stupid guy Liu Anqi, who lost the engineering school..."
Before Wang Jingjiu could finish his words, a gunshot suddenly sounded, and a warning post on the city wall fell to the ground. Strangely, the gun string did not come from the position of the Japanese opposite, but shot from under the city wall.
It turned out that a group of neon troops hid in the city gate, and the defenders could not reach the firepower, and they could not even blow up the grenades. However, the enemy could kill and injure the defenders on the city wall from a hidden place. The sky gradually became dark, and the guards were at a loss. Someone said: "Burn these turtle grandsons!"
Yes! Yi Anhua quickly ordered everyone to find gasoline and pour it down the city wall into the entrance of the door. Then, a volunteer captain with dozens of suicide squadrons quietly hanging from the city wall to the ground. A grenade ignited the gasoline. The enemy in the city gate was so burning in the flames that he screamed, and no one survived.
But at this time, the Japanese on the opposite side launched another attack. The shells kept falling on the city wall, and the bullets of the Type 92 heavy machine gun hit the city wall and splashed a piece of Mars, and the way back was broken.
"Brothers, fight with the Japanese." The captain raised his gun and raised his arms and shouted.
All the suicide squad members had already believed in death and rushed towards the reinforcements of the Neon Army outside the city, killing the Neon Army to run away with their heads in their arms. The warriors rushed bravely, and finally all fell outside Guanghua Gate towards the enemy.
"Dadada..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Bullets were flying all over the sky, and the shells passing through the air drew orange trajectories in the air, with harsh explosions and gunfires everywhere. From 1:00 pm, the Niudao Brigade of the Sixth Division launched a fierce attack on Chunhua Town from both southeast directions.
The battle began to become fierce, and the offensive and defensive sides fought fiercely. The fierce competition lasted from the afternoon to the evening. The Neon Army's offensive forces gradually increased. From a squadron in the afternoon to a charge, to the current overall attack of one or even two brigades, the Niudao Brigade invested heavy troops in both directions. In addition to infantry, the Neon Army's planes in the sky were like locusts, bombing the Chinese defenders unscrupulously.
Since the air defense positions on Fangshan were suppressed by the field artillery gang of the 6th Division, they could not pose an effective threat to the bombers of the Neon Army. As a result, the Neon Army aircraft were like locusts flying in the sky. On the ground, in order to cooperate with the infantry operations, Gu Suofu strengthened the two chariot brigades that had just been reinforced to the infantry gangs responsible for the attack in both directions. At the same time, the 92 infantry artillery of the artillery brigades belonging to the artillery brigades and some mountain artillery of the field artillery brigades and field artillery brigades constantly bombarded the defensive positions of Chunhua Town, not giving the Chinese national team a chance to fight back.
"Quick! Hurry! The Japanese artillery extended their fire and ordered the troops to enter the position immediately." Zhang Lingfu ordered the troops loudly.
Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment was responsible for defending the Japanese on the front, and Qiu Weida's 306th Regiment blocked the Japanese on the side attack. Yesterday, while the Japanese stopped attacking, a regiment of the 151st Brigade was reinforced. At this time, they also split up and reinforced them several times in a company unit.
The fierce and dense shells made Zhang Lingfu feel like a small boat, rising and falling in the stormy waves. Judging from the fierce artillery fire attacks of the Japanese today, the Japanese who could never break through the position were already angry, otherwise they would not have launched an attack so desperately. In addition to himself, the defense zone responsible for the Honorary First Division was also in his own hands, and other external positions had been broken through by the Japanese. Just now, he also heard the fierce sound of gunfire from the Guanghua Gate defense, indicating that the Japanese had broken through the Fukuo position and were heading down from Nanjing. Zhang Lingfu didn't know how long his troops could last.
At this time, a strange sound of "crunch, crunch" sounded in Zhang Lingfu's ears. Zhang Lingfu, who was lying at the forefront of the position, quickly pricked up his ears to distinguish the sound, trying to analyze the strange sound, but the sound came from the corner of a small hill at the front of the position. Due to the obstruction of the mountain, he could not observe it, so he could only distinguish it with sound. However, because the explosion on the battlefield seriously interfered with his hearing, he could not distinguish the source of the sound. Zhang Lingfu raised his telescope and stared at the corner at the foot of the mountain.
After a while, the sound became louder and louder, and the sound of the motor was vaguely accompanied by the sound of the motor. Zhang Lingfu suddenly had a bad premonition, so he stared at it more attentively. He saw a gun barrel first appeared in the telescope, followed by the body, then the front half of the body, and finally the entire body. Then one after another appeared around the corner. After a while, a group of tanks gathered at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Lingfu counted roughly and found that there were as many as eight tanks.
"Damn it! The Japanese, my god, your ancestors! Even their mother tanks were dispatched. They really look down on me!" Zhang Lingfu finally saw what the other party was. It turned out that the sound was the sound made by the Neon Army tank tracks pressing on the ground. In addition to being shocked, the top student from Peking University History University could not help but swear.
Colonel Takeshita Yoshiharu, the new captain of the 45th Regiment, watched the shelling effect in the telescope. Although he had not captured the defensive position of the opposite Chunhua Town for an afternoon, he was still very satisfied with the effect of the shelling just now.
This attack included chariots assisting the war, with chariots in front and infantry behind, and charge in scattered formations; grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns lined up to provide fire cover for the infantry at any time, and grenadiers dealt with the light machine guns of the Chinese army. The 1992 infantry artillery slowly advanced forward and carried out fixed-point artillery bombardment on the exposed heavy machine gun fire points of the Chinese army at any time.
For such a formation, Yoshiguchi Takeshita felt that it was a powerful weapon. No matter how tenacious the Chinese army was, they would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Great Japanese Imperial Army with firepower configuration. As long as the Great Japanese Imperial Warriors rushed forward, the despicable Chinese could not resist it at all! Fighting bayonets and fighting with hand-to-hand combat? That is the strength of the Japanese warriors! What's more, they have tanks!
To be honest, the tank of the Neon Army is a tank that is too garbage to be more garbage. This tank is thin in armor and cluster grenades can blow up this tank. Moreover, the structure of such a garbage tank is extremely complex, so the failure rate is extremely high, and it is particularly easy to break down during the journey. However, such garbage can dominate the land of China!
When Zhang Lingfu saw the Japanese tanks rumble towards his position, he was anxious and quickly shook the phone number from the brigade department in the town.
"Brigit! The Japanese tank is here! I ask for fire support from the division's war defense artillery company!"
After receiving Zhang Lingfu's request, Li Tianxia felt that her head was getting bigger. The division-level war defense artillery company of the 51st Division was originally equipped with four German-made Pak35 37mm war defense artillery, which happened to be the nemesis of the Neon Army tanks. However, in the Battle of Songhu, he defended the national defense line and then took on the cover of retreat. The four war defense artillery guns had already been destroyed, and the entire division-level war defense artillery company was left with this only gun. Since the 153rd Brigade was responsible for the defense of Chunhua Town, Wang Yaowu specially assigned the only treasure to the 153rd Brigade together with a regiment of the 151st Brigade.
He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Zhang Lingfu! The only combat defense cannon is your control! If you can't defend the position for me, come to see me with a head!"
The only remaining pak35 war defense cannon in the 51st Division was pushed out from a hidden place in the town, set up behind the 305th Regiment's position, aiming the black hole at the Neon Army tank roaring.
"Dadada..." A Type 89 tank rushing to the front was marching while spitting out flames, and bullets passed over the trenches of the defenders, killing the officers and soldiers of the 305th Regiment did not even dare to raise their heads.
"Prepare, let it go!" The Japanese tanks in front of him were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Lingfu waved his hand down with force.
The extremely rampant Neon Army tanks had already aroused the anger of the war anti-aircraft gunners. Hearing Zhang Lingfu's order, the gunner quickly pulled the raid.
"Bang" With a metal collision sound, the pak35 war defense cannon spit out a slender tongue of flames, and the armor-piercing bomb rushed out of the muzzle at high speed, flying towards the first Type 89 tank that was raging horizontally.
The armor-piercing projectile tear a hole in the iron plate of the Neon Army thin-skinned tank like it was tearing apart a plastic board and drilled into the tank. With a loud bang, the Type 89 tank that was shot immediately turned into a burning fire coffin.
The undead Neon Army chariot soldiers on the tank jumped off the burning tank and were immediately shot and killed by bullets fired by the officers and soldiers of the 305th Regiment who had been waiting for a long time. They were knocked like hornets' nests and fell on the edge of the tank.
The war defense gunman quickly retreated the shell, and the loader loaded another yellow shell into the barrel. With another thunderous sound of the war defense gun, the second 89th tank was hit by the armor-piercing projectile. The ammunition in the unlucky tank was detonated at the same time, and it exploded violently, flying out of the roof of the car like cardboard, and a fire gushed out of the car. Then, another sudden loud noise, and the tank turret swirled into the sky.
Unfortunately, the hero's combat defense cannon position was soon discovered by the Neon Army tank. Two Type 89 tanks raised the black holes at the same time, and the 57mm cannons made a series of roars.
