Three days later, the outer positions were basically all lost. Tens of thousands of soldiers were buried outside the city. The remaining remnants were withdrawn back into Nanjing or added to the front line. The front line was a position a few kilometers outside the city. It was considered the last barrier of Nanjing. Zhang Mo set up the headquarters in a foreign firm. After simple reinforcement, it could withstand ordinary air strikes and artillery.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Japanese planes whizzed past Nanjing City and dropped explosives continuously. The entire city was on fire. The police, fire department, and some enthusiastic patriots were fighting fires and treating the wounded in the city. The Japanese planes were flying at a low altitude in preparation for an air strike. They actually pulled the bomber down to 1,000 meters and launched an air strike. They really didn't know how to write the word death. The Japanese intelligence department, who always thought that they could grasp all the information, had suffered a big setback this time.
"Heavenly Locust Disease, get off the board!" A Japanese Air Force lieutenant was driving a bomber down to about 500 meters, wanting to drop a bomb accurately. When he found that the city tower was filled with anti-air firepower, he was scared and quickly pulled up. It was not easy for a heavy bomber to pull up, let alone it was loaded with explosives.
Da da! Da da!
The dense 20mm machine guns and 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns instantly blew up the three low-flying Japanese bomber planes, turning them into turkeys and falling into the city. Who knew how many innocent people were killed! There were no innocents in war.
"Baka Yalu! Didn't the Special Higher Police say that Nanjing City's air defense firepower was thin? Why is there such a dense amount of anti-air firepower on Guang Hua Sect?”A Japanese pilot who had just escaped death cursed. At the same time, he rose to 6,000 meters before he felt safe. However, the accuracy of dropping explosives from 6,000 meters was too poor. The explosives thrown from Guanghua Gate were very likely to explode a few hundred meters away.
"For the Heavenly Locust Disease!" A Japanese pilot with fanatical militarism loosened the buckle of his hat, took off his hat, and replaced it with a white strip with a red dot tied to his forehead. He took a look at the photo of his wife and child, pulled the control stick, and shouted for the locust plague before diving down. It seemed like he was going to commit suicide.
"Da da! Da da!"
"Suicide attack! Stop him!" Li Zhiguo, who was commanding the battle on the city tower, shouted loudly. He was a university student. Under Zhao Demin's lead, those who were literate had read the information about the Japanese army, so he could tell at a glance that it was a suicide attack by the Japanese army.
Da da! Da da!
Four tongues of fire were dancing in the air and lashing at the Japanese plane. It was only when the Japanese bomber was about 400 meters high that it exploded in the air. The debris that fell injured several soldiers. The huge air wave blew the dust into the ground, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
"Why aren't the Japanese planes coming to Guanghua Gate?”After being beaten up by the society of Guanghua Sect, the Japanese military plane learned to be smart. If they couldn't beat Guanghua Sect, could they bully other sects?
The rest of them were heavily guarded by the Japanese planes! This made the troops angry. On the other hand, Guanghua Gate was very quiet. The soldiers lit their cigarettes and watched the aircraft in the distance.
"Are you that free?" Zhao Dezhu and Li Zhiguo were standing on the city wall, looking at the soldiers lighting up their cigarettes. They were a little unhappy as they roared. The battle over there was earth-shattering, so was it appropriate for them to light up their cigarettes here?
"Camp Leader! We've been waiting for half an hour! The Japanese planes are not coming!" A second lieutenant explained.
"Damn it! Are you going to be so idle without the plane?" Zhao Dezhu took out a cigarette and cursed. The second lieutenant quickly took out a match and lit it for Zhao Dezhu.
"The Japanese are afraid of our firepower and won't come here anymore! Nine planes in one morning!”The second lieutenant explained excitedly.
"Not bad!" Zhao Dezhu nodded and tossed his pack of cigarettes to the second lieutenant, signaling for one of his brothers to light up.
"Don't ask me to patrol the city with you next time!”Li Zhiguo looked at Zhao Dezhu and said. At the same time, he quickly walked down the city tower and was too lazy to patrol the city with Zhao Dezhu, who had no principles.
All the troops sent people to Zhang Mo to request air defense fire support. Zhang Mo had no choice but to purchase ten double 20mm anti-aircraft guns to support the troops. It was better to have one or two guns than none. The Japanese planes would not be so unscrupulous.
At noon, the Japanese artillery had already begun to set up their positions. As time went by, you would get a taste of all kinds of artillery. Guanghua Gate was definitely a tough nut to crack in the eyes of the Japanese. Take good care of Guanghua Gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first to fire was the Type 92 Infantry Cannon, which was the longest used by the Japanese army. The 70mm caliber infantry cannon was as tall as a machine gun after removing the wheels. It was very suitable for the short Japanese to use.
"Can Krupp locate their artillery position?”Long Wenzhang and Krupp were lying on the roof of a house, observing the outside with binoculars.
"We can't observe or locate it unless we have precise coordinates!”Krupp shook his head.
Bricks flew everywhere from the explosion at Guanghua Gate. The soldiers were all huddled on the wall to avoid the bombardment. The Twin 20 Machine Cannons on the wall had been carried down. They wouldn't be left on the wall to be passively blown up.
"Bah! How long will these bastards blow up! It's been exploding for nearly an hour!" Zhao Dezhu spat out a mouthful of mud and cursed.
"They are taking revenge for the Air Force!”Li Zhiguo smiled. If they weren't attacked by air, they would definitely have to bombard them. Otherwise, how could they attack?
"The Japanese army is attacking the city!" A Scout on the city wall shouted.
"All companies, enter your designated battle positions! Do not fire without my order!" Li Zhiguo shouted loudly. At the same time, he followed the soldiers up the city wall and prepared for battle.
"Zi la!"
The sounds of heavy machine guns firing rang out continuously. The entire Guanghua Gate and the city wall had 20 heavy machine guns and 80 light machine guns. However, they were scattered across the city wall, which was close to two kilometers away. There was only one light machine gun at a distance of 25 meters, and only one heavy machine gun at a distance of 100 meters. However, this lineup was much more luxurious than the other troops.
"Fight!"
With Li Zhiguo's order, the entire Guanghua Gate was filled with dense machine gun sounds, which caught the Japanese squadron off guard. They did not expect that Guanghua Gate's firepower was so powerful and dense, and there were also a large number of mortars firing.
"Japanese, come!" A machine gunner kept firing at the Japanese soldiers. He was a soldier of the Sichuan Army. Ever since he joined the 44th Division, he knew what it meant to be generous. Heavy machine gun bullets poured out like they were free. In the past, they were the only ones who could not raise their heads when they were beaten up by the Japanese army. Now, the Japanese army could not raise their heads either.
The Japanese squadron suffered a devastating blow and turned around to run back. Even a senior captain was killed. What an unlucky fellow to be killed just like that. This squadron only had a total of 150 ordinary squadron machine guns and only had 9 light machine guns. After dispersing, their firepower could not be compared to the defenders on the city.
"Motherf * cker! Come on!" A soldier shouted excitedly as he looked at the 50 or so corpses on the ground.
"Hurry up and defend against the cannons! You still have the time to stand up and show off!" A company commander shouted loudly. Because the company commanders had all participated in the temporary training, the first thing they did after the Japanese army retreated was to reinforce the fortifications to avoid the bombardment. This was because the Japanese army would start firing after the battle, and then the second wave of attacks would begin again.
As expected, the Japanese army's three tactics were to bombard the infantry with artillery fire, and if they couldn't take it down, they would bombard the infantry with artillery fire, and then the infantry would charge. This tactic that had never changed for ten thousand years was still very effective against the Chinese army.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
This time, the Japanese army's field artillery was in place and fired non-stop at Guanghua Gate. Like burning meteors, they rubbed against the air and exploded on the city gate tower. The huge air wave flipped many soldiers, and the high-speed explosive shrapnel took the lives of many young soldiers.
"Send the wounded down!" Li Zhiguo commanded as he dodged the shells.
"Camp Leader! Be smaller! This is too dangerous!" A first lieutenant staff officer pulled Li Zhiguo and shouted worriedly.
"Tell me, is there anything in our country that isn't dangerous?”Li Zhiguo asked loudly as he shuttled back and forth on the city wall.
"But you are the commander! It was the highest commander of Guanghua Sect's left wing! If something happens to you, what will happen to all our brothers in the battalion? Do you want to see our battalion be the first to be broken through by the Japanese?”The first lieutenant said loudly.
"Listen up! If I die, you command! If you die, the company commander will take command! Until the last person!" Li Zhiguo grabbed the staff officer's collar and shouted loudly. He didn't care about his life or death at all.
"Sigh!" The first lieutenant staff officer looked at Li Zhiguo's back and sighed. He quickly followed him. The first lieutenant was older than Li Zhiguo and he did not want Li Zhiguo to spill blood on the battlefield at such a young age.
Fifteen minutes after the second round, the Japanese army launched an attack. This time, a large group of soldiers rushed towards Guanghua Gate. This time, the Japanese army rushed towards Guanghua Gate in layers of loose skirmishers. This greatly weakened the firepower of the machine gun. They could only shoot in spots and not shoot. Shooting was nothing but a waste of bullets. The Japanese army was not stupid and would not let you shoot.
"Order the cannons to fire! The support artillery of the various companies also fired at the same time!”Zhao Dezhu, who was on the right wing, ordered as he looked at the approaching Japanese army.
The battalion's artillery platoon was equipped with 4 81mm heavy mortars and 10 60mm mortars. The lethality of this round was not inferior to that of an artillery company. The lethality of 4 81mm mortars was not to be underestimated. At the same time, there were 81mm heavy incendiary bombs. This was enough to make the Japanese feel good!
