For the Japanese army responsible for attacking Jinling, they received top-secret information a day ago, and the defending troops who were defending Jinling had decided to retreat on the entire line. The retreat was in the direction of Xiaguan in Jinling, and the Japanese army immediately dispatched heavy troops to encircle and pursue.

When the Japanese learned that the garrison commander and the generals of the army had left their troops and fled to their own lives, they realized that this was an excellent opportunity. How could the guards in the city without a leader escape the vicious Japanese army?

In order to complete the latest combat instructions issued by the Japanese front-line commander, the main force of the Japanese army besieged Jinling began to carry out roundabout encirclement on both sides of Xiaguan. There was only one purpose, to encircle and annihilate as many of the defending troops withdrawing from Jinling as possible.

But no one expected that in less than a day, the city defending troops, which should have been in chaos, were taken over by Gui Shuzhen in the name of the newly appointed commander-in-chief of retreat, and launched a forcibly breaking out that night.

The Japanese defensive troops deployed on the periphery were first asked for help from the troops attacking the Zijin Mountain position. Just as they were heading towards Zijin Mountain, the main force of the brigade under Gui Shizhen's command brazenly launched a raid and powerful attack on the enemy outside the city.

When the Japanese army reacted, the first brigade had already established a blocking position outside the city. The troops that broke through the city later also sent troops to reinforce and teach the first brigade to expand the breakout channel and allow the follow-up large defenders to break through.

Even though the Japanese army reacted very quickly, the troops deployed in the direction of Zijin Mountain were limited after all, and they were unable to encircle the forced breakthrough of tens of thousands of defenders. In addition, it was night time, so they could only watch the large defenders break through successfully.

Matsui Ishione and others, who were preparing for the grand entry ceremony, were furious when they heard the news. In their opinion, it would be difficult to get these tens of thousands of defending troops to break through the encirclement and to encircle them and annihilate them.

While drawing the main force to siege and intercept the troops, the dispatching army headquarters finally made the decision to enter the city. Taking down Jinling City one day earlier can also prove to the outside world how powerful their strength is and how incompetent the National Army's anti-Japanese war troops are.

The 18th Division and the 33rd Infantry Regiment, which were attacked by Hu Biao at night, were ordered to attack the direction of Zhongshan Gate shortly after resting. They tried to put their plaster flags into the gatehouse of the Presidential Palace in the shortest time.

The 33rd Infantry Regiment, which had just cleaned the battlefield, went straight to Zhongshan Gate without any rest. For the 18th Division, if its troops could lead the way to the Presidential Palace, it would be the honor of the 18th Division.

The front line position was attacked last night, and the division commander of the 18th Division was naturally extremely angry. He ordered the 33rd Infantry Regiment to be the vanguard, and naturally hoped that the unit could make meritorious contributions and use the capture of the Presidential Palace to cleanse up the shame.

Looking at the closed city gate and listening to the roars and killing sounds coming from inside, the infantry corps commander in charge of commanding the battle said with a serious expression: "What about you? Are there any troops in the city holding on? They didn't break through last night?"

In the opinion of the infantry corps captain, the defending troops broke through the southeast of Zijin Mountain last night, and the large troops must have evacuated from Zhongshan Gate. Logically, the city gate is no longer on guard. But now it seems that this is not the case.

Then he ordered the troops to rest on the spot. The infantry corps captain quickly said: "Send a squadron to test the firepower of the defenders. Organize the blaster to blow up the city gate to facilitate the subsequent troops to launch an attack."

"Hi!"

Hu Biao, who had been waiting on the wall of the city tower for a long time, looked at the Japanese army that had arrived early in the morning and knew that the battle was about to begin. The Zhongshan Gate Tower was the first battle against the Japanese army, and this battle was also very critical.

With the help of telescope observation, Hu Biao also sneered: "These Japanese are arrogant enough, they are actually infantry. If you want to capture Zhongshan Gate by relying solely on infantry, you are afraid that the Japanese will still be short of good teeth. Order the sniper team to enter the position and prepare for battle!"

From the guard company and his own guard platoon, Hu Biao selected fifteen soldiers with excellent shooting skills to serve as snipers. In Hu Biao's view, if this sniper team is used well, it is believed that it will also severely damage the Japanese army and cause a large number of casualties of grassroots officers.

Looking at the Japanese army preparing to enter the city, facing the city gate that had been completely blocked, he finally sent a squadron to test it. Hu Biao, who was staying on the side of the city tower, immediately said: "Machine gunner, wait for the firepower to cover it! Pay attention to my order!"

In order to avoid the Japanese taking aim at the sniper team, Hu Biao decided to use a machine gun to cover up the sound of the sniper shooting. In that case, I believe that the Japanese who attacked would not notice that so many snipers gathered on the city tower in a short time.

The Japanese squadron, responsible for testing firepower, still felt a little nervous when he looked at the obviously strange city tower in front of him. Even if it was just a feint attack, once the defenders on the city tower opened fire, there would inevitably be casualties among them.

Whoever is likely to be hit may depend on each other's luck. But even if they are given a mission, they cannot retreat. Only by testing out the firepower points of the defenders on the city tower can they complete the feint attack mission.

Facing the Japanese who were scattered in combat formations and began to approach the city tower, Hu Biao, who was lying on the city tower, never ordered the shooting. In Hu Biao's view, since it was the first wave of Japanese tests, give the Japanese a firepower to make the Japanese happy.

What's more, the city tower looks significantly higher at this moment. But in fact, only the city tower on the outside side has door panels. These door panels are all demolished from the empty houses on the street.

There were sandbags piled up on the door panel, and the side of the city turned into a walking passage. The city tower piled up by the door panel and sandbags turned into an oblique triangle trench. Even if the Japanese use artillery bombardment, it is difficult to hurt the soldiers hiding in the door panel.

If you have heavy artillery, this simple fortification will definitely not take long. However, if an ordinary mountain cannon hits the sandbag fortification directly, it will still be difficult for shrapnel to penetrate the double protection of the sandbag and the door panel when it hits the city tower passage.

What is really good at building this kind of fortification is the Japanese grenade launcher. The machine gun positions laid on the city towers can also ensure the safety of machine gunners in the fortifications, and ordinary grenades cannot be blown up at all.

The Japanese devils, scattered in an offensive formation, seemed to know that there were deadly gunmen lurking on the city tower, and most of them were arching forward when they were marching. Hu Biao, who was using the scope, soon discovered the Japanese squadron leader carrying a pistol.

In order to ensure that the first shot was hit, Hu Biao took the lead in firing the first shot with the gunshot. The gunshot sounded, and the Japanese squadron leader, who was observing the situation on the city tower, did not realize that the crisis was coming. When the bullet penetrated his head, he fell down immediately.

The machine gunner on standby next to him fired the guns as soon as he heard the gunshot. The roar of the machine gun quickly made the Japanese in the process quickly fall down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other snipers freely choose targets to shoot.

In Hu Biao's words, this is the first battle formed by the sniper team. There is no need to care about what the target is. Any Japanese who are sure to shoot will be shot and killed. As for the machine gunners on both sides, they do not need to open fire and shoot slowly.

On the other hand, the Japanese squadron, who was responsible for the feint attack, was standing next to the squadron leader, looking at the squadron leader who was lying on the ground and bleeding on his head, and said in surprise: "Where is Na? The squadron leader is broken? Baga, fight back in full swing! Attack!"

No one expected that the commander of the first lunar first battle would be killed just a simple feint attack. It can be seen that there should be a sharpshooter on the city tower. When they launched a feint attack, the sharpshooter must have targeted their squadron leader in advance.

The question is, their location is at least more than 300 meters away from the city tower. With the squadron leader following behind the team, how did the other party discover and how did they kill their squadron leader with one shot?

In an accident, in order to avenge the squadron leader, the Japanese attack immediately launched a crazier attack. On the other hand, Hu Biao, who was hiding in the door panel position, shouted: "Sniper, fire three shots to another place! Machine gunner, fire to attract fire."

"yes!"

Compared with other snipers who freely hunt targets, Hu Biao, who also held a sniper rifle, focused on searching for officers in the Japanese squadron. It is actually easy to find an officer. The Japanese who talked too much and had many movements were sure to shoot him when they saw it.

The captain of the Japanese Infantry Regiment, who was staying behind to watch the battle, looked at the gunshots and the roar of machine guns on the city wall, and then said: "Let the artillery squad go over and destroy the machine gun positions on the city wall wall. Listening to the gunshots, it seems that there are not many defenders!"

"Old Captain, their main force has broken through. I think the defenders on the city tower should just want to delay our entry into the city. According to the telegram sent by the division earlier, there should be some defending troops in Jinling City."

"Then you will wipe it out! The division commander said that he hopes to check in the Presidential Palace tonight and we must complete this task!"

"Hi! Faster, maybe you can invite the division commander to the city for lunch!"

The two assistant officials who were chatting and laughing behind had no idea that they sent a feinted infantry squadron. In just a few minutes of fighting, a large number of officers and sergeants were shot dead, and the machine guns were fired for a while.

The soldiers stomping their mouths on other sections of the road looked at the Japanese who were constantly lying under the guns of the sniper team and said in shock: "It's worthy of being a sharpshooter. This Japanese player is so powerful. I guess he is not enough to see this!"

Seeing the Japanese troops staying thousands of meters away, and sent out a group of Japanese soldiers carrying mortars, Hu Biao quickly said: "The Japanese are ready to shell! The machine gunners immediately moved their positions, and the rest entered the door panel fortifications!"

"yes!"

The soldiers who were staying on the aisle of the city tower were soon dispersed into the door panel fortifications on the outside of the city tower. Even if the Japanese hit the shells onto the city tower and wanted to destroy their anti-aircraft fortifications, they were afraid that it would not be very likely.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Biao slightly adjusted his gun and said, "The Japanese are so arrogant enough to set up artillery positions five hundred meters away! Let's try it! Anyway, the effective range of this gun can reach 600 meters!"

Although the sniper rifle in his hand is just a primary version of the sniper rifle, the magnification of the scope is not high. But Hu Biao believes that as long as he can hit the target, the bullet can still kill the Japanese within 600 meters.
Chapter completed!
