The decision to stick to Jinling and fight in the streets was more due to the judgment of the battle situation. Judging from the current situation, Jinling City is almost undefended, and the Japanese army only needs to send a small number of troops to successfully occupy Jinling City.

After completing the operational goal of capturing Jinling, the Japanese army will pay more attention to the pursuit of the main force of the national army. The defending troops who retreated from the direction of Xiaguan earlier, and the defending troops who retreated from the direction of Purple Mountain last night, were all targets of pursuit.

As far as the Japanese generals were concerned, they knew very well that once these troops were safely withdrawn to the rear, they would cause a lot of trouble for the Japanese army in the future. In this case, the Japanese army will inevitably need to send more main forces to eliminate as many main forces as possible.

If you want to encircle and suppress the defending troops who have been scattered and evacuated from Jinling, the aircraft will be used as an important reconnaissance and pursuit weapon during the day. In contrast, how could the Japanese army be willing to bomb Jinling City, which was almost within easy reach without defense?

Earlier, there were troops defending the city, and Jinling was still in the hands of the national army, and it was normal to use planes to bomb Jinling in order to occupy it. At present, there are few defenders in Jinling City, and the Japanese army wants to control Jinling, so how can they be willing to blow it up into ruins?

At present, Hu Biao only held the position on the front line of Zhongshan Gate, and the first round of Japanese attacks was frustrated, and it was unlikely that heavy artillery troops would be dispatched to cooperate with the siege. At least the information provided by the military commander earlier, the logistics of the Japanese army gave some problems.

The so-called 'when a cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold', although it is not so exaggerated, the price of a heavy artillery shell is not cheap. The Japanese army will not easily use heavy artillery unless necessary. Moreover, the ruined houses will eventually be rebuilt.

At least in the eyes of many Japanese generals, the current Jinling City is already theirs, not the Nationalist Government!

Based on the analysis of these situations, Hu Biao felt that the Japanese army's dispatch of chariot troops to reinforce was the most in line with the needs and ideas of the Japanese army. In order to continue to hold back the Japanese army on the side of the city gate and inflict more casualties on them, it is necessary to find some defensive weapons.

Among the artillery pieces of the national army that were received from the military commanders earlier, there were many machine guns. This kind of machine gun as an anti-aircraft weapon, Hu Biao felt that it was undoubtedly suitable for a thin-skinned tank used to deal with little devils.

In order to ensure the safety of the machine gun, Hu Biao piled up a lot of sandbags near the machine gun. Unless the shells hit the position directly, the soldiers hiding in the sandbags should still be safe, and they will not be destroyed by the Japanese artillery as soon as the artillery is fired.

The soldiers lying on the city tower looked at the little devil tank that finally appeared in sight, and they were still a little nervous in their hearts. Only Hu Biao said very calmly: "Brothers, don't be afraid, this thin-skinned tank can't carry our machine guns!" ”

Having said that, Hu Biao knew that the city tower should not be guarded for long in the future. The problem is that Hu Biao didn't want to rely on Zhongshan City Tower to block the little devil for too long. What he has to do is to block the attack step by step, so that the little devil will continue to increase his troops.

When it was dark for a day, Hu Biao would draw the main force from the military academy and set off rounds of night battles to fight the counterattacks of the little devils. As long as it persists for a few more days, I believe that this area will also become a nightmare in the eyes of the Japanese army.

Looking at the soldiers sent from the teaching unit, Hu Biao also said directly: "Remember, listen to my orders later, and aim at the little devil's tank." At such a close distance, a few more shells, the little devil's tank will definitely not be able to carry it.

As soon as I give the order to retreat, you will leave the tower alone. Anyway, we still have quite a few of these machine guns. As long as you keep your life, there will always be weapons. Life is the most important thing, you know? ”

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers who had been ordered to come were comforted to hear that they only needed to use up the ammunition they were carrying, and then wait for the order to retreat. These fighters knew very well that once they fired, they would inevitably be hit by the artillery fire of the little devils.

Compared to the other warriors, they had door panels to cover, but their positions could not protect their heads. If a shell really falls on the position, they will definitely be finished. Although the machine gun is easy to use, it is too cumbersome and inconvenient to transfer!

The Japanese infantry wing, which had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, naturally felt more confident when they saw the chariot squadron sent by the division. In the eyes of these Japanese troops, their tank units were almost impregnable on the battlefield.

As the wing leader, Inoue Keitaro, after a brief chat with the commander of the chariot squadron, said: "Order the 3rd and 5th Infantry Brigades, follow behind the chariot squadron later, and give me an attack on Jinling City." Organize the demoman and blast open the city gates as soon as possible! ”

The infantry of the main battle division of the Japanese army was mostly more experienced. The chariot leads to attract fire, destroying the defenders' machine guns or artillery, and then the infantry follows to attack to prevent anyone from approaching the chariot.

Watching more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles swing out and begin to attack the position of the city tower. Hu Biao, who stayed on the city tower, was still waiting quietly. Even if the sniper team was sniper, Hu Biao also ordered not to shoot.

Several tanks accompanying the little devils opened fire first, opening the shells on the fortifications of the tower. These shells either hit the city wall and blew out a big hole, or the shells flew directly over the towers and into the city.

Except for the big movement, it can't hurt the defenders on the castle tower at all. On the contrary, armored vehicles equipped only with machine guns fired more threatening bullets. From time to time, bullets ran down the mouth, threatening the defenders inside the door panel fortifications.

Fortunately, this is not very likely, and most of the bullets hit the city walls, or simply flew over the overhead. But this kind of imminent threat of guns and cannons did bring a lot of pressure to the defenders of the castle.

The Japanese infantry who followed the chariot squadron forward, when they saw that the defenders on the city tower were still indifferent when they entered the range of 500 meters, they said with some curiosity: "The defenders of Zhina won't run away, will they?" ”

"Probably not! Earlier, I also saw that there were troops running back and forth on the city tower from time to time! ”

The first battle was frustrated, and it was indeed very angry for these confident little devils. But what was even more infuriating was that when they planned to collect the corpse before, the defenders on the city tower were not allowed to do so, and still shot and killed the soldier who collected the corpse.

In this case, the attacking Japanese army also decided that after attacking the city, they must torture and kill those prisoners to vent their hatred. But they didn't know that Hu Biao and the others were already defending the city with a mortal heart!

When the tank entered the range of 300 meters, Hu Biao, who personally controlled a 20-mm cannon, immediately said: "Fight!" ”

The sound of 'tom tom' gunfire rang out, and the four machine guns erected on the castle tower immediately fired four deadly tongues of fire, directly sweeping towards the Japanese tanks that were slowly approaching the castle tower. Hearing the voice, the little devil who followed up instantly changed his face.

With a shocked face, he said, "Not good! It's a machine gun! ”

During this period, the Japanese driver who was sitting in the tank of a Japanese Type 95 light tank that was locked and aimed by Hu Biao quickly felt that the tank had suffered a heavy blow. A single machine shell quickly penetrated the protective armor of the tank.

Tank armor that can withstand rifle and machine gun shells, and even grenade explosions, cannot withstand the penetration of machine gun shells. When the shell penetrates the frontal protective armor, the little devil in the tank is simply unable to resist the penetration of the bullet.

"Ahh Yaga! It's a machine gun, reversing! Reverse now! ”

During this period, the Japanese infantry, who followed the advance of the chariots, were also shocked by the power of the machine shells. Some of the little devils who were hit by stray bullets were torn apart in an instant. The blood that splattered directly on the soldier next to him.

As for the stump and broken arm torn from the body, it has become a nightmare for other little devils. Even tanks are powerless to withstand the power of machine artillery shells, let alone those little devil infantry who have no protection at all?

The captain of the infantry wing, who was staying behind to watch the battle, also said with horror on his face when he saw this scene: "Not good! It's the machine guns of the Chinese army, how did they mount the machine guns on the city tower? Quick, order the artillery to counterattack, rush their machine guns! ”

Even if the little devil reacts really quickly, compared to the speed of machine gun fire, it is undoubtedly better than the machine gun. Looking at the bullet casings that kept jumping out of the chamber, Hu Biao also quickly said: "Quick, change the ammunition!" ”

The soldier who stayed next to him immediately reloaded the loaded magazine onto the machine gun. Knowing that the little devil would soon carry out an artillery counterattack, Hu Biao also asked all shooters to speed up their shooting.

Even if you can't hit the chariot of the little devil, it is good to hit the little devil who is following the chariot. All in all, it was necessary to try to dump as much ammunition as possible into the Japanese forces outside the city before the imp artillery counterattacked.

Looking at the tanks and armored vehicles that were knocked to their stomachs, as well as the soldiers who were hit by stray bullets, the blood splattered and the stumps and broken arms, the defenders lying on the city wall were also stunned, thinking that this machine gun was too fierce.

Some soldiers couldn't help but exclaim: "Grandpa Tian! This machine gun is so ferocious that it will kill you when you hit your body! ”

As the soldiers said, even if you hit the stomach, you are likely to be beaten in half. As for hitting other parts of the body, those parts will separate from the body. As long as you are hit, you will basically die.

Seeing for the first time the power of machine guns hitting people, even those shooters were stunned. Even so, these shooters did not forget, strafing as fast as they could, replacing the newly loaded magazines, and dumping the machine shells under the castle tower.

In the face of the little devil tank armored car reversing frantically, Hu Biao, who was holding the machine gun, directly used the machine gun to plow a straight line. Looking at the machine shells coming straight for the mortar position, the artillerymen also fled frantically.

"Run! The cannonballs are coming! Spread out immediately! ”

As Hu Biao aimed his guns at the Japanese artillery position 700 meters away, the Japanese artillery who tried to carry out artillery strikes did not dare to stay on the artillery position at all. When the machine guns came before, the scene of tearing the body apart was too brutal.

Seeing the attack that was finally reorganized, with the four machine guns that suddenly appeared on the castle tower completely failed, Inoue Minetaro, who was staying behind to watch the battle, really had the urge to vomit blood.

In desperation, he could only order the mountain artillery unit to immediately build an artillery position two kilometers away, and even the surviving mortars were all pulled one kilometer away. Only in this way can the artillery escape the ultra-long-range attack of the machine guns!
