Chapter 407 Street Fighting in the East of the City

The fierce battle at Zhongzheng Square in the east of the city was extremely fierce. The Chinese and Japanese armies seemed to be competing in firepower. Ninety-mm field guns, seventy-five-mm mountain guns, one-hundred-fifty-mm mortars, eighty-two-mm mortars, three

17mm anti-tank gun, 46mm anti-tank gun, light and heavy aircraft

The guns set off bursts of bullets, and there were heavy artillery grenades fired by heavy artillerymen from both sides. The smoke pillars rose into the sky dozens of meters high, and more than a dozen Japanese tanks emitted billowing black smoke.

It was burning, and hundreds of Japanese corpses of various shapes lay dead in the center of the square.

The more brutal and unusual battle was fought around Chiang Kai-shek Square. The Japanese army attempted to penetrate and attack on the left and right wings, while the Chinese defenders held on to their positions to the death. In the narrow street fighting, they were equipped with a large number of submachine guns and grenades, and were familiar with the terrain.

Chinese soldiers are at home like a fish in water. They can always appear in unexpected places for the Japanese army.

Side, they were in groups of five to ten people. One group often attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and other groups suddenly attacked from all directions. Under the ferocious firepower of submachine guns and grenades, the Japanese soldiers and guerrilla defenders were often left bloody.

The small team combined their positions to resist the Japanese attack, and continuously used the darkness to attack the weak flanks of the Japanese army.

The tactics of the Chinese defenders made the Japanese army very uncomfortable. Especially in street fighting, the Type 38 rifles were far inferior to the submachine guns and Mauser pistols of the Chinese defenders. Although many buildings were bombed into ruins, they were still covered with bullets.

The booby traps left by the Chinese defenders, these booby traps blew up the Japanese army to a great extent. Blood Sacrifice to the Mountains and Rivers of Anti-Japanese War 72307

The major general of the 11th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Tokutaro Sakai, looked at the intense gunfire in the eastern part of the city and sighed helplessly. The 13th Infantry Regiment and the 47th Infantry Regiment under his command were both there.

He suffered unprecedented losses during the attack to break through the city wall, so he could only watch Ushijima Mitsuru's performance while he was resting. The Sixth Division and the 101st Division appeared.

Everyone held their breath. The honor of breaking the Nanchang city wall was downplayed by Okamura Neiji. To Okamura Neiji, the defense of breaking the city wall was nothing, because they were all the Nine-sixth style assigned by General Hata Shunroku.

Thanks to the 150mm caliber cannon brigade, the Type 96 150mm caliber cannon brigade no longer exists.

Therefore, the two division commanders each found the goal for the next stage, which was to occupy Zhongzheng Square. Therefore, the left wing belonged to the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division Ushijima Mitsuru, while the right wing belonged to the 101st Brigade.

The 101st Infantry Regiment of the division, the 113th Infantry Regiment, and the 123rd Infantry Regiment of the 106th Division were deployed to the right wing of a total of three infantry regiments.

The Japanese soldiers' futile attempt to pass through the nearly 200-meter empty square was tantamount to committing suicide. The heavy mortars and direct-fire artillery of the Chinese defenders greatly exceeded the number of Japanese troops, and from time to time they also served the Japanese troops with flying thunder cannons.

, the bombardment stunned the Japanese army.

Often when the Japanese use anti-aircraft artillery or Type 92 infantry cannon to overturn one heavy machine gun of the Chinese defenders, the Chinese defenders can overturn at least five light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, and the accurate large-caliber field heavy howitzer can fire as many as
