The Japanese attack finally retreated in Tangcheng's expectation. The Guanghua Gate, which had been fighting for nearly 3 hours, once again fell into a deathly silence. The soldiers who were still alive were lying quietly behind their respective bunkers, because they did not know
Will the Japanese army organize a new attack immediately like the previous few times? Tang Cheng opened his mouth but did not spit out anything. He had to move his body slowly to keep himself away from the body next to him.
The body with half its head missing is slightly further away.
The Japanese army retreated, but Guanghuamen was still filled with smoke. The strong smell of blood and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke reminded the soldiers in the position that this was a battlefield of life and death. After repelling the Japanese army's crazy attack for three consecutive hours, the defenders had to do the first thing
One thing is to count the casualties and resupply ammunition. The losses of the second company were not too great. In the three hours of fighting, the newly added supplementary group to the second company only suffered 7 casualties, and three of them were killed in the battle. Four of them were killed.
Injuried.
The biggest casualties on the battlefield were those machine gunners under Xie Chengrui. Almost all the light and heavy machine guns had been replaced by one machine gunner. Now the people who control these light and heavy machine guns are all veterans, but they were not machine gunners originally. It is certain that the Japanese army was
After really retreating, Tang Cheng slowly knelt up from behind the bunker and looked around. He was looking for where Liu Yangyang and the other three were. Fortunately, Liu Yangyang and the other three were also fine, and Liu Yangyang was going back and forth.
He was patrolling the defensive position of the Second Company, Nianzi was playing with a Czech light machine gun that he got from nowhere, and Jiujin was holding Huanshi, who was chewing half a piece of pie.
When Tang Cheng got up from the bunker, there were many wounded lying beside him. He didn't care too much and just took the nine pounds. Being hungry, he didn't ask so many questions. He just divided the nine pounds by three and five.
The pancakes that Jin had snatched were wiped out. The sound of artillery was still rumbling outside the city gate. Whenever the Japanese artillery shells hit the city wall, there would be waves of vibrations and a feeling of blocked ears, but everything on the city wall
People have long been accustomed to it, whether they are lying down or busy carrying supplies.
Artillery fire is naturally the weapon that the Japanese army relied on to attack fortresses. Their infantry was driven back by the defenders. The artillery immediately resumed the bombardment of Guanghua Gate, but the scale of the bombardment was much smaller. The continuous explosions made people feel unsteady.
, the fire will suddenly flash into the eyes. When Tangcheng turns around to pile up bricks and rubble for convenience, the key area that was bombarded by the Japanese army suddenly appears in front of Tangcheng. The west gate of the city gate
Many gaps have been blown into the city wall, and places that were not eye-catching before can now be shot through.
The air was filled with dust, and every soldier looked sullen. Many of them were carrying sacks filled with sand and gravel to plug the holes in the walls blasted by the cannons. The regiment leader Xie Chengrui roared and ordered his soldiers to repair the gaps and prepare for a counterattack.
Before the next Japanese attack came, Xie Chengrui had already made the position very nervous. The shock waves of the explosion were rushing back and forth, making people feel that their ears were buzzing and they could not even stand firmly on their feet.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and another cannon hit the city wall. This Japanese artillery hit was very accurate. Countless broken bricks were thrown around by the explosion, and some debris splashed and was shaken.
It brought burning pain to the face of Tang Cheng who was lying on the ground. He stretched out his hand and touched it and found that he was really bleeding. Fortunately, he had already done it, otherwise when he was hit by the air wave, his new suit would
The military uniform was useless. Tang Cheng, who imitated Liu Yangyang and cursed, adjusted his trousers, walked around the rubble and walked towards his bunker while carrying a Mauser rifle.
The blurry vision in the dust, the choking smoke in the air, the ringing in the ears that can make people lose their balance, the hoarse roars of the officers and soldiers, and the blood-covered comrades, everything on the battlefield made Tang Cheng feel a little nervous when he returned to the bunker.
Bewildered. Outside the city wall, the dust in the sun could not block the sight. The defenders on the city wall could vaguely see the blood-stained khaki figures lying on the ground. The corpses there represented that the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties, but the defenders' positions
The soldiers on board did not cheer for joy, because their soldiers also suffered many casualties. Maybe they themselves would die in the next Japanese attack.
Every few minutes, a Japanese artillery shell would hit the city wall, and the violent vibrations could sometimes throw the entire soldiers up from their shooting positions. The poor visibility and the ever-present earthquakes were just
The injured soldiers endured the pain of their wounds while enduring the threat of death. Rather than saying that the Japanese army was shelling Guanghua Gate, it was better to say that the Japanese army was just using artillery fire to harass Guanghua Gate.
"The Japanese army is coming up, ready to fight, ready to fight, the little devils are coming up." The roar of the officers sounded again on the top of the city. In the smoke outside the city, several Japanese tanks vaguely drove up, followed by a group of Japanese soldiers.
Just like what the soldiers in the training team saw in Shanghai, these Japanese soldiers who followed the tanks all the way would brave the grenades dropped from the top floor, leaving a pile of corpses, and then rush directly to the blind spot downstairs, so no matter what
Neither the grenades nor bullets from upstairs could hit them.
"Shoot when you are sure, and hit the fast-running little Japs first. There are anti-tank trenches outside the city, and the Japs' tanks can't get through." The hoarse shouts of the officers sounded again from the city wall, and the artillery in the city finally finally
They began to use their sharp weapons to bombard the Japanese tanks. Although the defenders dug anti-tank trenches outside the city so that the Japanese tanks could not get close to the city gate, the tanks were not afraid of bullets.
Machine guns and machine guns will still pose a certain threat to the defenders, so the artillery in the city is preparing to destroy these iron-clad things first.
The artillery of the training team uses heavy mortars imported from Germany. Although these heavy mortars may not be able to directly destroy Japanese tanks, they can be hit by artillery shells too much, and the Japanese soldiers in the cockpit will still be injured and die.
.Use heavy mortars to hit Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. This is a new trick discovered by the training team when fighting the Japanese army in Shanghai. As long as the density of artillery fire is high enough, the Japanese light tanks will also lie down.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and Tang Cheng on the city tower felt his body shake violently. The dust on the city wall made everyone not even raise their heads like an old monk in trance. The Japanese tanks fired, and they secretly looked at the gunfire just now.
That Japanese tank, Tang Cheng was thinking about whether he would use death squads to go down and fight the Japanese tank again. "No, the Japanese tank is trying to blow open the city gate." Tang Cheng was still lying behind the bunker.
He was thinking wildly, but Liu Yangyang had already guessed what the Japanese army was thinking.
The 36th Regiment fought so fiercely in the past three hours. The blood that could not seep out of Guanghua Gate almost painted the ground red. I don’t know how many times they charged, but their charging team suffered every time.
Despite the desperate blocking by the defenders, the Japanese army would leave varying numbers of corpses behind in almost every charge. So the 36th Regiment directly used its only few tanks to participate in the attack. Their idea was to use the armor of the tanks to quickly approach the city gate.
, and then used the tank's rapid-fire cannon to destroy the city gate, allowing the infantry who entered the blind spot to rush into the city.
"All fire, don't save bullets, suppress the firepower of the little devils!" Following Xie Chengrui's order, the sparse gunfire on the city wall suddenly became denser. The artillery's heavy mortars were unable to intercept the Japanese tanks.
After advancing, Xie Chengrui had to use strong firepower to intercept the Japanese infantry who were advancing with the tanks. The infantry was used to cover the tanks. Without the infantry cover, the tanks would face the danger of vehicle crashes and casualties. Xie Chengrui did not want to use death squads.
He went to deal with the Japanese tanks, but reality forced him to do so.
The Japanese troops were knocked down one after another, but the Japanese troops behind them still came in like a tide. They launched a sudden attack in such a narrow place. It was obvious that the Japanese troops were desperate for their lives. They were completely beaten by the defenders and completely lost their composure.
The attacking Japanese army soon discovered the plan of the Chinese ** team. After being continuously intercepted by the opponent's artillery fire, the Japanese tanks slowed down and covered the infantry as they slowly approached the city gate.
"Five men from the third battalion, five men from the second company, go out of the city and kill the Japanese tanks." The Japanese tanks covering the infantry were getting closer and closer, and the defenders on the city wall immediately increased the intensity of their shooting, but the actual effect was very little.
, the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the tanks continued to advance towards the city gate. The strength and determination of the Japanese army forced Xie Chengrui to send a death squad to compete with the Japanese tanks. The Second Company, which had just added a platoon of soldiers, could not escape.
This is a fatal mission.
"I'll go ahead, I've blown up Japanese tanks in Shanghai." Not only did he have the courage to come from there, but the hot-headed Tang Cheng pulled out one of the five people named in the second company, and went up to fill the gap himself.
.Perhaps because the current scene is very similar to that of the Jiekou position that day, or perhaps in order to atone for his sins, Tang Cheng did not say that he was afraid of death and hid aside, but swore that he had blown up Japanese tanks.
"Are you the soldier who can speak Japanese that Liu Yangyang mentioned?" Xie Chengrui's voice suddenly appeared next to Tang Cheng. He turned around and saw that it was Xie Chengrui with a dark face who appeared in Tang Cheng's sight, "If you kid can complete
If you come back from the mission alive, I will give you the rank of sergeant." Maybe it was to appease Liu Yangyang, Xie Chengrui finally spat out, maybe he just didn't want Tang Cheng to die in battle and still had regrets in his heart.
"Be careful, come back as soon as you're done." Liu Yangyang personally helped Tang Cheng check the bundle of grenades, and stuffed two full magazines into the leather ammunition pouch on Tang Cheng's waist. Liu Yangyang didn't know that Tang Cheng
Why would Tang Cheng take the initiative to stand up, but Xie Chengrui is here, and he can't stop Tang Cheng's recklessness.
