Bursts of thunder sound resounded throughout the entire Zhonghua Gate. The continuous rumbling sound of explosions was also accompanied by the screaming sound of artillery shells. The muffled explosion sounds of grenades, blasting tubes, and explosive packs were also heard in the Zhonghua Gate.
In the midst of the constant reverberation, the Japanese artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and light and heavy machine gun positions of various sizes were all bombarded by such ferocious and messy shelling, causing heavy losses. Many things were bombed.
Destroy the scene, including the Japanese officers and soldiers, and the Japanese artillery.
But even so, the artillery bombardment of the Sichuan Army and the clone troops continued, and the artillery bombardment continued continuously, as if it would stop without destroying all the Japanese troops attacking Zhonghua Gate.
of.
The frontline position of the Japanese Sixth Division,
Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, the division commander who personally supervised the battle, and Colonel Shimono Ichiho, the chief of staff, once again held up their military binoculars and saw such a tragic scene of shelling and bombing. They were all shocked and dumbfounded.
"Bagayalu! Why do these Chinese troops still have heavy mortar groups to bomb us?"
"Where did they get all those heavy mortar groups?"
"Haven't all their heavy artillery units been blown up by our imperial army?"
"Even if there are remaining heavy artillery, haven't they all been evacuated to their rear?"
"What the hell is going on?"
After the shock, Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, the commander of the division,
Still haven't come back to my senses for a long time,
He couldn't believe that most of his artillery unit had been destroyed by bombing in such a short time. Even the heavy artillery unit that had just been dispatched to support the battle had been bombed with very little left.
Faced with such an unimaginable and tragic battle situation, he had never thought of it in his wildest dreams.
"Hey! I will immediately go to the intelligence department to find out where the Chinese army got these heavy mortars to deal with us! I will definitely give you a detailed explanation!"
After hearing this,
Chief of Staff Shimono Ichihuo, who also recovered from the shock, also put down the military telescope in his hand and quickly replied.
"Sigh! Go quickly!"
"In addition, let all the surviving artillery units immediately carry out counterattacks and blow up all these damn China Army's artillery positions for me!"
"I want them all to die, die!"
"And let the artillery troops of the 16th Division behind them come over immediately to carry out supporting operations. They must completely wipe out these damn heavy mortar troops of the Chinese Army on the opposite side!"
"We absolutely cannot allow them to continue to exist, otherwise we will not be able to break through the city gate here!"
"You must know that Commander Matsui Iwane and His Royal Highness the Prince only give us the opportunity to fully capture this place before the sun goes down, otherwise we won't have anything to eat!"
After Chief of Staff Shimono Dazuo Huo finished speaking,
Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, the division commander, also immediately added.
"Hai!"
Chief of Staff Shimono Dazuo Huo nodded in agreement.
Immediately, he went to convey all the combat orders in person.
Because the current battlefield conditions are not conducive to their Sixth Division, especially to save more surviving Japanese artillery and heavy artillery, and to destroy He Feiyang's heavy mortar team as soon as possible.
At this time, the Japanese 16th Division
The commander of the 16th Division, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imago, and the Chief of Staff of the 16th Division, Colonel Kishiida, also held up military telescopes. They were surprised and widened when the battle on the other side of the China Gate reversed the situation.
eyes closed, dumbfounded.
Originally, they saw the heavy artillery regiment of the Sixth Division, combined with the 75mm infantry artillery unit, rapidly destroying the defensive positions of the 87th German Arms Division and killing many officers and soldiers of the 87th German Arms Division.
They were all cheering and applauding, and they were also thinking that they would soon complete the orders of Commander Matsui Iwane and Prince Asaka Hatohiko, and they must capture the China Gate and complete the sweep before the sun goes down.
Purple Mountain, and the area around Yuhuatai,
But now, not only are there unexpected fighting situations on the Purple Mountain and Yuhuatai sides,
Even the battle situation on the Zhonghua Gate side was suddenly reversed.
It was so unexpected to them,
This is something they would never think in their wildest dreams,
"What should we do now? It seems that most of the artillery units of the Sixth Division will be destroyed!"
After coming back to his senses, Chief of Staff Colonel Kishi Ida was also anxious and asked the division commander beside him, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imago.
"What else can be done? Support them in their fight immediately!"
"If our two divisions fail to complete the combat mission of occupying China Gate before the sun goes down, then we will not end well. Commander Matsui Iwane and Prince Asaka Palace Hatuhiko will definitely punish us!"
After hearing this,
Lieutenant General Nakajima Kongo, the division commander, was also in a very bad mood and issued instructions.
"Hai!"
Chief of Staff Colonel Kishiida quickly agreed.
And at this time,
The Chief of Staff of the Sixth Division, Shimono Dazuo, also came to them personally and asked the artillery troops to come over immediately to support them and blow up He Feiyang's heavy mortar unit.
