Chapter 350 The Sichuan Army is building a heavy artillery stronghold
The Japanese 9th Division, also known as the Kanazawa Division, is well-equipped and one of the most powerful divisions in the Japanese army. It is famous for its ability to fight vicious and tough battles.
The Japanese troops currently attacking Gwanghwamun are the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 35th Infantry Regiment commanded by Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki, commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 9th Division.
The commanders of the regiment are Colonel Isa Kazuo, the commander, and Colonel Fujisueyoshi, the commander of the regiment. The person responsible for the cover is the 9th Mountain Artillery Regiment, Colonel Hideo Serikawa, the commander of the regiment.
Starting this morning, Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki, commander of the 6th Brigade, personally commanded the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 35th Infantry Regiment to launch round after round of crazy offensive operations against Guanghua Gate.
.
The 7th Infantry Regiment launched their most frenzied attack with the support of artillery.
Prepare to break into Guanghuamen City under the cover of artillery fire, making the Kanazawa 9th Division the first Japanese army to enter the capital.
If this huge combat goal can be achieved, it will not only be the pride of the 7th Infantry Regiment, but also the glory of the Kanazawa 9th Division. It is estimated that even if the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke knew about it, he would greatly appreciate it.
This will become the supreme honor of all the officers and soldiers of the Kanazawa Division and the Japanese soldiers, and will become the flower of the imperial army.
Compared to the Kwantung Army, which calls itself the "Flower of the Army," it doesn't lose even half a point, and is even better.
Therefore, under the personal command of the commander of the regiment, Colonel Isa Kazuo, the 7th Infantry Regiment acted like a madman and kept charging towards Guanghua Gate.
Even the 35th Infantry Regiment, which was attacking with them,
They were also surprised by such a crazy attack by the 7th Infantry Regiment.
The entire 7th Infantry Regiment spread out on the front line and rushed toward them with the Guanghua Gate ringing wildly.
The infantry artillery squadron directly under the regiment, under the command of Captain Shimada, almost desperately pushed to a place less than one kilometer away from the city wall, and carried out carpet-like artillery bombardment cover.
However, the effect of the attack was not very satisfactory. After fighting for a long time, although the Japanese army inflicted heavy casualties on the defenders of the German 88th Division, Guanghua Gate was still not captured and was still firmly in the hands of the German 88th Division.
Seeing this, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Kazuo Isa, became angry and ordered his infantry troops to capture Guanghua Gate today no matter what the cost, otherwise he would transfer all the Japanese officers who were incompetent in combat to the reserve force.
For this reason, the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army launched an even more frantic offensive operation.
But just when the 7th Infantry Regiment used its most crazy fighting method,
Next to them, the 35th Infantry Regiment assisted in the battle.
It was also under the personal command of their commander, Colonel Fujii Sueyoshi, that they also launched the most ferocious and crazy offensive operations.
In this regard,
The commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade, Major General Akiyama Yoshiyun, who had been observing the battle, was slightly satisfied.
Continue to observe the battle situation,
Instead of scolding the two Japanese captains under his command,
They also asked people to immediately report the battle situation here to Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the 9th Division, and Hirotaro Nakagawa, the chief of staff, and wait for their next combat instructions.
at the same time,
Inside Guanghuamen City,
The Second Teaching Regiment, which had already arrived by car, also quickly took over their defensive positions and assisted the 88th German Arms Division in resisting the Japanese attack.
"The people from the second regiment of the teaching corps have finally arrived for reinforcements! The attack of the Japanese devils was so powerful that we were almost wiped out here!"
"That's right! If they were a little late to come to the rescue, I'm afraid we would have fallen! These Japanese were just crazy. They were bombarding us with constant artillery fire, and they were constantly rushing in with all their might. We had already hid.
Wave after wave of artillery bombardment, and wave after wave of Japanese infantry attacks were repelled, but they still kept charging over like an endless death squad!"
"Stop talking nonsense, we will continue to fight. Look, the Japanese attack is coming again. These idiots, if we have artillery troops now, we must let them try the taste of artillery fire coverage and bombing."
How about it!"
"Hurry up and fight back! This time the Japanese are coming in two groups together! Damn it, we are in dire straits this time. I don't know if we can hold on!"
"Those idiots have started to attack again? Should we go out immediately to assist the German 88th Division defending the city and the troops of the Second Teaching Regiment in counterattacks?"
"Wait for the order from our regiment commander! He is now commanding our heavy artillery unit, which is deployed in the hidden stronghold here, and is preparing to bombard those damn turtle son Japanese troops with heavy artillery!"
"Hey! Later we can let these idiots try to see how our Sichuan Army's artillery bombing will be like. Our Sichuan Army can finally become famous for once! I never thought in my wildest dreams that we also have a heavy artillery force.
one day!"
"Isn't it because our regiment commander is here that our Sichuan army has heavy artillery groups and these new weapons and equipment? Without our regiment commander, we have nothing, we are still the same, with inferior weapons and equipment and thin clothing!
"
"That's right! So when we fight later, we must be braver. We must raise the prestige of our Sichuan Army here at Guanghua Gate and let all the devils know that our Sichuan Army is not easy to bully this time!"
Just when the German 88th Division and the Second Regiment of the Teaching Corps began to desperately resist the menacing Japanese troops who were constantly charging and fighting, behind them,
The Sichuan Army troops dispatched by He Feiyang are also holding their positions and building strongholds for artillery bombardment with their heavy artillery groups, preparing to target the incoming Japanese troops and conduct artillery fire coverage and bombing operations.
Of course, for these things,
The 88th German Division and the Second Regiment of the Teaching Corps were not known.
Because at this moment, they were already caught in a fierce battle with the Japanese army, and they had no idea that there was such a powerful support force behind them.
As for all the civilians and miscellaneous troops here, they have already been bombarded by air raids and artillery fire by Japanese Japanese aircraft groups. They were either injured or killed, or were scared away.
Even the so-called war supervising troops suffered a lot of casualties from the bombing and were scared away.
Therefore, the Sichuan Army troops who came to support the operation had a stronghold to build their combat fortifications and heavy artillery groups alone.
