After all, the map of every street was in the hands of the 2nd Brigade. With reasonable arrangements, there were two light and heavy machine guns on the high ground of every street. With the garrison, they could deal with a small team of Japanese.
Although the Japanese had a map of Nanjing, they were not as familiar with the streets as the 2nd Brigade.
Zhonghua Gate, Guanghua Gate, and Zhongshan Gate. The devils that attacked these three gates all hoped to open up a path so that the three divisions could seamlessly connect. However, the path in the middle was heavily guarded by the 2nd regiment, and even their firepower was incomparably fierce.
Zhou Weiguo was very satisfied with the street fighting in the city. In a short period of time, they had successfully stopped the Japanese's attack and killed more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers. The Heavy Artillery Brigade had also killed a Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese.
The situation was developing smoothly, and everything was going as he had expected. However, he had consumed a lot of ammunition.
After all, the soldiers were all holding Garland semi-automatic rifles, which consumed ammunition very quickly.
"Don't worry, let the troops hold on for a while. We've already recruited tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Fang Shengli has already brought 10,000 soldiers to change their equipment. I'll immediately order him to send reinforcements to the other troops once the change is complete.”Zhou Weiguo said to the commanders of the various troops who had called for help.
"Haha, that's great. We're going to teach the Japanese a lesson.”Yang Wanchun of the 3rd Brigade laughed.
The good news was that they came one after another. As soon as they hung up the phone, Fang Shengli had already equipped 10,000 people and immediately called for reinforcements.
After receiving the news, Zhou Weiguo's face was filled with joy. The pressure in his heart instantly disappeared without a trace.
Once everyone had changed their equipment, even if Nanjing City was captured, Zhou Weiguo would not be afraid. The Japanese soldiers were not enough.
Although the Japanese had invested more than seven divisions in the Battle of Nanjing, totaling nearly 200,000 people, their losses were also huge. They had lost more than one-fifth of their forces.
In addition to the injured and the troops that needed to rest, if they wanted to completely take down Nanjing, they would definitely have to pay at least half the price. Therefore, Zhou Weiguo did not have to worry at all.
Moreover, he had the biggest trump card in his hand, which was the Red Alert Base. As long as he had enough silver, he would have an endless stream of weapons and soldiers. Therefore, in the end, the Japanese would definitely not be able to take it.
These 10,000 soldiers were divided into three groups and sent to three infantry brigades, temporarily under the command of three brigade commanders.
With the reinforcements and a batch of ammunition, the situation of the three infantry brigades that were defending changed a lot. The brigade commanders changed their battle strategy. Their morale was high, and the well-equipped soldiers resisted the front line attack. Another team was sent to take a shortcut from both sides to attack the streets occupied by the Japanese.
The Japanese were caught off guard. The infantry brigades added a batch of mortars. The small teams carried mortars and bombarded some of the Japanese's machine gun positions. They were caught off guard and were attacked from the front and back. The Japanese team was in chaos.
The newly reorganized soldiers had long been holding back their anger. Now that they were equipped with such excellent weapons, they immediately attacked when they saw that the Japanese's offensive was declining.
The major generals of the Guizi were furious. They had taken the streets with great difficulty, but they had lost a few of them in a short period of time.
However, in order to rescue the soldiers who were surrounded, the Japanese still ordered the rescue.
Seeing this, the brigade commanders of the command units once again pressed on the reserve forces because Zhou Weiguo had already told them over the phone that they did not have to be afraid. Once they were out of ammunition, they would immediately replenish it. Whether it was ammunition or personnel, the only condition was to defend Nanjing City and not let the devils take a step forward.
The Japanese had gathered a large number of troops, but because the streets were too narrow, they could not spread them all out. When the soldiers of the garrison saw this, they immediately smiled and used the excellent weapons in their hands to beat up the Japanese.
They would pick the weaker areas of the Japanese's defense and change places after attacking. They would not fight head-on with the Japanese at all.
It had to be said that the 2nd regiment had brought out the essence of street fighting to the extreme.
With the help of the tanks, they launched a counterattack on the streets where the Japanese soldiers were gathered. The Japanese soldiers were caught off guard.
"Baka, the Chinese have tanks?”Major General Yoshika Ryosuke, who received the news from the rear, was shocked.
"Order the chariot troops to move out and destroy the Chinese's chariots.”
Compared to the 2nd regiment, the 3rd regiment was having a hard time. Fortunately, Yang Wanchun was smart enough to borrow a group of soldiers from the 2nd regiment to help them train in street fighting.
In addition, Zhou Weiguo had sent 3,000 fully armed reinforcements. They could still defend the streets around the Central Gate, but it would be difficult to achieve much.
"Traveler, this Japanese is very tenacious. Even after being forced back several times, his spirit still hasn't decreased.”A major who followed Yang Wanchun said.
"The Guoqi Division is the elite regiment of the 5th division of the Japanese. Their combat strength cannot be underestimated. However, we are not to be trifled with. Tell our brothers to let the Japanese see our fighting spirit.”Yang Wanchun looked at the Japanese in the distance and said coldly.
"Yes, Traveler!"
