On December 10, the 11th Brigade of the Japanese elite 6th Division broke through and occupied part of the Yuhuatai position, so it moved the artillery position forward and began to shell Zhonghua Gate.

Prior to this, the 306th Regiment of the 51st Division of the Three Dogs had already demolished the houses, cleared the shooting boundary, added several barbed wire fences and dug several trenches in front of the moat.

Japanese planes also came to join in the fun, bombing on the front line of Zhonghua Gate, and the sound of the explosion was deafening. After a burst of artillery bombardment, the entire Zhonghua Gate was shrouded in gunsmoke, and the Japanese infantry began a tentative attack, mainly breaking into the front of the position and clearing the barbed wire.

Sangou hurriedly ordered Xiucai, Zhang Zhiguang, Wu Dingli and other excellent shooters to shoot at the enemy, Xia Chen also followed Xiucai to snipe, these people ambushed in the corners of the city tower, and from time to time carried out precise strikes on the devils.

The Japanese demolitionists were holding explosive bags and crawling forward, wanting to get close to the barbed wire fence and blow up these barricades, Xiucai guessed from the devil's prostrate posture.

instructed Xia Chen to fight these demolitionists, and sure enough, several demomen were killed in the process of advancing, and the devil saw that he couldn't get close to the barricades, so he used mortars to blow up the barbed wire.

In this way, the three dogs had no choice but to let the devils blow up a few barbed wire fences one by one, clear the barricades, and the Japanese sappers immediately hid behind the tanks and prepared to build bridges.

There are tank trenches and moats, all of which are barricades that tanks and even people cannot rush through, and the devils want to borrow the cover of tanks, and sappers go to erect temporary military bridges.

Qiu Weida, commander of the 306th Regiment, ordered the three battalions in the forward position to destroy the enemy's tanks.

So he commanded the mortars of the eighth and ninth companies (after entering the city of Nanjing, each company was equipped with mortars), and followed the seventh company to fight.

The bamboo pole is responsible for measuring the range and reporting the data, and the three dogs let the communication soldiers quickly pass to the mortar shooters of the eighth and ninth companies and the seventh company, under the command of the bamboo pole, only two correction shells were fired, and the next few rounds were all hit.

But it didn't work, the devil's tank was still crawling, Lao Hu had to use the infantry guns of the regiment, specially summoned the bamboo poles to fight, and adjusted them according to the data just now, and the bamboo poles followed the other two infantry guns, and bombarded them in a burst.

Finally knocked the devil tank into the moat, without the cover of the tank, the devil infantry and sappers fled one after another, and were shot by the soldiers of the three battalions at the head of the city.

Qiu Weida also ordered a reinforced company to attack, pursued and killed, and drove the enemy back to their positions, and the morale of the whole regiment was shaken.

Between December 10 and 11, because the position of Yuhuatai was still holding, the Japanese raid on the periphery of Zhonghua Gate was only a small force, and there was not much of a threat.

However, as a defender, no matter how large or small the size is, it must be attacked indiscriminately, and the defense line of the fortified city tower is different from the defense line of the flat hill, because once the enemy breaks through at a certain point, the entire defense line will be seriously threatened.

Because of this, under the command of the three battalions, the three dogs constantly fired bullets, mainly heavy machine guns, and now the arsenals in Nanjing are all open to supply the guards with all their might.

In the bunker of the city wall, Big Potato is addicted to heavy machine guns, and when the gun fires in a row, the head will not be accurate, because the vibration and linkage of the gun itself will affect the accuracy of the next bullet.

The larger the caliber of the bullet, the greater the recoil of the gun body, the greater the vibration and shaking, and it is difficult to control the accuracy of the bullet.

And Big Potato has always liked machine guns, and has an inexplicable love and study for machine guns, no matter what heavy machine gun, in his hands, he is obedient, pointing where to fight.

Each line has its own way, and the heavy machine gun of Da Potato is now fighting, while teaching a few apprentices to shoot sub-shooters, and continuous short-point shooting, pressing the devil in the position, and not even daring to raise his head.

As soon as the devil showed his head, the bullets of the imitation Makqin water machine gun of Min 24 flew over with the steel helmet, and the devil's thin steel helmet, blocking some shrapnel and ricochet, is estimated to be of some use.

If it encounters a heavy machine bullet in the bullet, whether it is a straight or side fire, the steel helmet will be opened, and the steel helmet will be pierced, and the fragile skull will be of any use.

In the past, when they were shooting heavy machine guns, the machine gunners of the big potatoes had to be on guard at all times for the devil's artillery, and one of the devil's mortars could blow up the firing position of a heavy machine gun.

Now it's different, everyone is hiding in the tall and thick city walls, and they are also covered with machine-gun bunkers, so they don't have to be on guard against the enemy's small cannons, only heavy artillery can bombard such bunkers.

Heavy artillery can hardly be used for single-point aiming, and can only be bombarded within a general area, unless the blind cat touches a dead mouse, it will be bombarded by the heavy artillery and hiding in the corner of the heavy machine gun bunker.

Now and the geographical location is very good, condescending, they give full play to the power of the Min's second quadruple machine gun, as long as the devil moves a little, the heavy machine bullets like a heavy rain will pour over, knock the devil through, and even tear it into several pieces.

The devil has no choice, the temporary heavy artillery has not yet come up, and can only drop bombs and strafe through the plane, and the bombs dropped by the plane also have no single-point aiming, and the machine-gun strafing of the aircraft can only scratch the boots of the bunker.

Another way for the devils is to use a large number of mortars to bombard, create smoke, to cover the impact of the infantry near the city wall, and then use explosive packs to blast the city wall.

So, the Japanese mortars began to fire a salvo, and the black mortar shells hit the city tower one after another.

They ordered the machine gun company and the mortars of each company to return fire, relying on the height of the terrain, and the bamboo poles were much better than the devils hiding in the flat ground in terms of visibility, sight range, convenience and rapidity of distance measurement, and the accuracy of mortars.

After Zhu Pole and several of his apprentices constantly calculated the firing range and various metadata, and reported it to everyone for reference, everyone blew up a lot of enemy mortars after a few rounds of mortars.

In addition, the supply of artillery shells for the defenders is very sufficient, and the Jinling Arsenal is actually not far in front of the Zhonghua Gate, and before it was moved, a large number of mortar shells were left, all of which were moved into the city of Nanjing, and a lot of them were left in the Zhonghua Gate position, and they didn't even need to be moved.

Once people get rich, they will be generous, bamboo poles they change the barrel of the mortar to fight, since the cannon came, the first time such a cool hit, everyone shouted refreshing.

Mortar firing, if it is on flat ground, is still five or five, but in this condescending firing, the odds of victory are much greater, and the shells can hit a little farther, almost blowing up the devil's forward command post.

As for the devil's infantry, it was even more uncomfortable, before, they could hide in the fortifications and avoid the heavy machine gun attacks of the defenders, but now, in the face of the mortar attacks of the curved fire, it is not safe to hide, and the devil's infantry is constantly being blown up and has to retreat.
