Soon, dozens of soldiers swarmed over from all directions and moved eight mortars and eight GM34 machine guns down.
Immediately after, they unloaded the ammunition nervously. The soldiers knew that the Japanese army would attack at any time, so they moved very quickly.
In less than 20 minutes, they had unloaded the entire truck of ammunition.
Luo Zhedong held Tianchou's hands tightly and said gratefully,"
"Alright, I won't say anything else. Brother, you're a straightforward person. I promise you that I'll definitely get drunk with you when we meet in the future!”
Tianchou smiled and was about to say something when an ear-piercing screech came from the front.
"Yes!"
"Not good, lie down!"
Before he could react, Tianchou was pushed to the ground by a heavy figure.
"Boom!"
Before Tianchou could react, a loud explosion sounded more than 20 meters behind them.
Although Tianchou was already on the ground, he could still feel a shockwave sweeping over his head.
When he raised his head, he realized that a thick smoke was floating in his direction.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
In a daze, Tianchou was pulled up and Xia Sheng's voice sounded in his ears.
"Brother, are you okay? If you're okay, go back quickly. The Japanese are about to attack!”
As soon as the explosion sounded, another explosion came from the front. It was obvious that the shell that had landed around them had missed.
Before Tianchou could answer, Luo Zhedong said.
"No, Chief of Staff, we can't leave now. The Japanese's artillery will definitely block the road behind us to stop the reinforcements.
Younger brother, you should come to my command center and wait until we defeat the Japanese attack before you go back!”
"Alright, brother, you can go to Commander Luo's command center first and go back later. Now I want to go to the front line with Commander Luo.”
Tianchou, who had already woken up, shook his head and said,"
Although I'm not one of you 87 people, how can I not have a share in fighting the Japanese?”
At this point, Tianchou shouted,"
"Wang Dezi, hurry up and get our brothers out of the car. Follow me to the city wall to fight the devils.”
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Dezi responded and led the soldiers to jump off the carriage and stand in a row in front of Tianchou.
"Alright, I won't say any more nonsense. The Japanese are attacking.
Since we saw it, we can't just ignore it. Now, everyone follow me to the city wall to fight the devils. Everyone, follow me!”
After saying that, Tianchou ran up the city wall.
"Whoosh!"
A series of artillery shells landed around Guanghua Gate. The Japanese artillery was firing at Guanghua Gate.
Rows of fire walls appeared.
Guanghua Gate was the last gate of Jinling City. If Guanghua Gate was lost, the Japanese army could march straight into Nanjing City.
Rows of 70-caliber cannons blasted holes in the city wall.
The city walls were ablaze with fire, and the Japanese army's artillery bombardment intensified the chaos.
As there was no decent rock on the city wall, the defenders could only rely on the city wall to resist.
However, the city walls that were designed to defend against cold weapons were too useless in the current situation.
There were only some rocks that were hastily built on the city wall, and the height could only reach the soldiers 'chests and stomachs.
Such a rock could not even block the bullets of the Japanese army, let alone the shells.
This was one of the reasons why the casualties of the soldiers had always been high.
Although he had never participated in such a large-scale battle, Tianchou had fought many battles with the Japanese.
It had become a habit for the devils to bombard the area with artillery fire before they attacked.
Therefore, everyone held their heads with their hands and lay on the ground.
However, Tianchou didn't like being bullied by the Japanese. He took out a pair of binoculars from his chest and observed the area outside the city.
This was a Zeiss 8x30 high-powered military telescope with very high resolution.
It was as if something in the distance had suddenly appeared before his eyes.
As the glasses moved, several suspicious targets suddenly appeared in Tianchou's binoculars!
He slowly adjusted the knob in the middle, and a clear scene appeared in front of him.
About 800 meters away, there was a Japanese artillery position!
There were more than ten small cannons placed there, and dozens of artillery soldiers were firing at them with all their might.
Tian Chou spat out fiercely,"
"Damn it, I finally found you."
The 9th division was also known as the Jin Ze division, and was a division of the army.
It was one of the strongest divisions in the Japanese army, and was famous for being able to fight tough battles.
The Japanese Army that was attacking Guanghua Gate was the 9th Regiment of the 18th Infantry Regiment.
The ones in charge of providing cover were the 9th Mountain Cannon Regiment.
From this morning onwards, Major General Jing Shuxuan, the commander of the 18th Infantry Regiment, personally commanded the 19th Infantry Regiment of Tsuruga, under the support of the artillery, to launch an attack.
They were prepared to charge into Jin Ling City under the cover of the artillery fire, making the Jin Ze 9th division the first Japanese army to enter the capital.
Starting from the morning, under the personal command of the regiment commander, Hitomi Hideki, the three generals of the regiment were all under the command of the regiment commander.
Suzuki's 2nd Infantry Battalion spread out and charged at the light gate.
The Infantry Artillery Squadron was also under the command of Senior Captain Yamada Yutaro.
They pushed forward to less than a kilometer away from the city wall and bombarded it with artillery.
However, the effect of the attack was not very ideal.
Although the Japanese army had dealt heavy casualties to the Chinese defenders, Guanghua Sect had not been taken down and was still firmly in the hands of the enemy.
Major General Jing Shuxuan flew into a rage and ordered the three assistants to take down Guanghua Sect today.
Seeing Shuzo's reaction, everyone's eyes turned red and they personally urged Suzuki Shigeka to charge forward.
However, apart from the hundreds of corpses of the Japanese army, they still found nothing.
"You, hurry up and blow up the Chinese soldiers on the other side!”
"Your squadron has already wasted an entire morning. I don't want to see the Chinese army's firing point appear again, do you understand?”
"Ha Yi! Please rest assured, I will personally command the troops to blow up the Chinese people's camp into ruins!”
"Yoshishi, Mr. Yamada, your ability is not bad!
But your courage is not enough, so I hope you can display the spirit of samurai!
Put our flag in the Jinling Prime Minister's Office.”
"Ha Yi, thank you for your guidance, sir. I will immediately lead the warriors to push the front line forward by 200 meters.”
Sugawa patted Yamada Yutaro's shoulder and said,"
"Go, I'll wait for your good news here!”
"Hey!"
