The 6th division that attacked Guanghua Gate sent more troops when the vanguard was at a disadvantage.
Therefore, the attack this time was very fierce, especially after the loss of soldiers and generals. The 11th regiment directly lost more than 500 people, which was the largest casualty since the siege of Nanjing.
Although they had gained some gains along the way, there were not many highlights.
As one of the earliest divisions to be established, they had a long history and outstanding achievements. However, the war was very peaceful, and as the major general, Gu Shoufu couldn't tolerate it.
No matter what, he wanted his division to be the first to capture the capital of China.
As soon as the battle began, the field artillery regiment was sent in and fired fiercely at the city gate.
To Gu Shoufu, the explosions on the city gate were like gorgeous fireworks. However, he stopped laughing and widened his eyes.
The 6th division's field artillery regiment had just gotten into formation when the commander, including the regiment commander, died.
After the third round of firing, their coordinates were obtained by Zhou Weiguo's artillery battalion. Immediately, Zhou Weiguo gave the order to aim the cannons at the Japanese artillery positions according to the coordinates.
Suddenly, the Japanese's artillery formation was very interesting. The originally arrogant Japanese artillery was directly blown up into the sky. Even the field artillery was destroyed, and there were scattered frames everywhere.
The most unlucky one was the regimental commander of the artillery regiment. He was originally commanding the artillery to bombard the area in high spirits, but he did not expect a cannonball to hit him directly. He died without any pain, not even leaving behind a corpse.
The Japanese artillery shouted loudly and gave up on the field artillery. They scattered in all directions. The bombardment lasted for a full ten minutes. When the bombardment ended, Zhou Weiguo stood on the city tower and cursed as he looked at the Japanese artillery that had lost their fire in the distance.
"Come on, continue firing. Damn it, let's see whose army it is.”
The surrounding soldiers were also stunned by the results of the artillery battalion. After fighting for so long, they had never felt so good. They had always been suppressed by the Japanese. This was the first time they had suppressed the Japanese. This battle was really awesome.
"Guild Leader is mighty! The regiment commander is mighty!" It was unknown who was the first to shout, but the entire city wall was filled with roars.
"As expected, the cannons are the courage of the army.”Seeing the high morale, Zhou Weiguo was even more confident in defending Guanghua Sect.
Gu Shoufu, the commander of the 6th division, was stunned. His mouth was wide open, unable to close for a long time.
The division chief of staff was also dumbfounded. He muttered,"Baka, when did the Chinese have such powerful cannons?”
"105mm Howitzer?" Gu Shoufu reacted and said in disbelief.
"Since when did the Chinese have such powerful artillery? It's impossible. Only the Empire has such good artillery.”
"Regiment Commander, we need reinforcements. The Chinese's cannons are too strong, we need to retreat. The cannons were too close to the command center, if we were to deviate, we would be the ones to die.”The division chief of staff said fearfully.
"Baka, how can the soldiers of the Empire be afraid?”Gu Shoufu turned around and slapped him.
"Whose troops are these? Why do they have such powerful cannons?”Gu Shoufu muttered to himself.
"The other side is the Eighty-eighth Division." the chief of staff explained.
"Didn't the 88th Division get crippled in Shanghai? How could they still have such powerful cannons?”Gu Shoufu asked with some doubt. He knew about the 88th Division and had fought with them before. Their fighting will was not inferior to the imperial army, and their firepower was even better than the imperial army. However, because they had too few people, they could not avoid the outcome of being wiped out.
However, what he did not know was that Guanghua Sect's troops had already changed.
……
"F * ck, I haven't touched a 105mm Howitzer in a long time.”Janice, the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion, looked at the row of cannons in front of him and said emotionally.
He was originally the Company Commander of the 522nd Artillery Company. After the expansion, he was promoted to the position of Deputy Battalion Commander of the Artillery Battalion. The Battalion Commander was Zhou Weiguo, but in reality, the entire Artillery Battalion was under his command.
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese have been blasted into a daze this time. It will probably take a long time for them to recover.”The captain at the side echoed.
"The regiment commander is still the best. This is a very popular item. This time, he managed to get ten 105mm Howitzers at once, not including those mortars.”Janice sighed as he went forward to touch the cannon barrel.
Looking at these metallic cannons, he could not help but feel a sense of pride.
"The Japanese didn't expect that they would be blown up by us one day.”Janice said with a loud laugh.
"Hurry up and change the position. The Japanese planes are going to bomb us. These bastards don't have anti-aircraft guns. Otherwise, I'll definitely shoot one down.”After a moment of complacency, Janice ordered the artillery to start shifting positions.
"Regiment Commander, we've found out that the 522nd Regiment of the 87th Division is defending the city wall.”After the 6th division headquarters retreated 10 km, Gu Shoufu finally received the intel from the frontline.
"Na Ni, didn't the 522nd Regiment get wiped out at Qixia Mountain?”Gu Shoufu said in disbelief.
