However, when the bamboo pole was hesitating, a loud bombardment suddenly sounded in the enemy's defense area, and the mountain artillery of the divisional artillery battalion began to get angry.

After all, Li Tianxia is the division commander, and he can look at and solve problems from a higher situation, and when he received the signal from the three dogs asking for help, he immediately ordered the artillery battalion to speed up and pull the six mountain guns over.

At the same time, he also ordered the engineer battalion to repair some simple roads for the artillery battalion, so that those mules could pull the mountain artillery over, and the 75 mountain artillery was considered a relatively heavy cannon, with more than 1,000 catties.

However, fortunately, there are three guns in the mountain artillery battalion that have not yet been assembled, and the gun body is divided into more than a dozen parts, and they stay in the artillery array, ready to meet the bombardment of enemy aircraft, and let horses or mules pick up one part at any time and leave.

Therefore, the artillery battalion gave priority to the use of these three guns, and gathered all the transport companies in the artillery camp to transport these three guns to Gao'an City.

The green light on this road, coupled with a company of the engineer battalion repairing the road in front, soon reached the city of Gao'an.

Seeing that the situation had changed at this time, Division Commander Li ordered the artillery battalion to go to the east of the city, instead of attacking the bank stronghold in the center of the city, and first went to the east of the city to fight the devils.

This decision is very crucial, and it also requires the mountain artillery to pull over and shoot at close range, this imitation of the Krupp 75 mm mountain gun, which is a little similar to the Japanese infantry gun, that is, it can shoot at close range.

The high and low firing range of this gun is 8 to 15 degrees, and after approaching the target several hundred meters or 1,000 meters, it can shoot at a direct point, so Division Commander Li directly ordered several guns of the artillery battalion to pull to Dongcheng and shoot at close range.

The brothers of the artillery battalion, after arriving in Dongcheng, immediately set up a simple artillery array, most of which were in the house, quickly assembled, opened or enlarged the windows of the house, and if there was no window, they directly exploded and knocked a big hole to let the cannon barrels go out.

In this way, after trying to shoot a few artillery corrections, these mountain guns began to fire rapidly at the Japanese troops in Dongcheng District, with three or four shells hitting them almost every minute.

For a time, more than a dozen 75mm caliber shells per minute smashed into the positions of the Japanese troops with a dense number of people, and the Japanese troops were stunned at once.

A large number of civilian houses or Japanese strongholds were wiped out under the huge artillery fire, many devils were also killed in the artillery fire, and some strong strongholds in front were also blown up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the middle ** launched the final charge, and several regiments of infantry rushed to the last defense area of the Japanese army from three directions.

When the Japanese army saw that the Chinese ** pounced, they also launched a fierce counter-charge, and the two sides launched a fierce stabbing and fighting in this ruin.

Street fighting, close combat, and night combat are all gathered together, and shooting, stabbing, and hand-to-hand combat are also useful, and the soldiers on both sides can do everything they can, as long as they can kill each other, as long as they can save their lives, they can use any trick.

In night battles and close combat, the soldiers of the 74th Army are no longer afraid of the Japanese infantry, from the previous four people can only deal with one devil and one person, now two people can do it, like the elite of the three dogs and their three battalions, one-on-one, and they are not left behind.

The 74th Army, which broke into Gao'an City tonight, is already almost two divisions, and most of the 51st and 58th Divisions are attacking Gao'an City, and now almost 10,000 people have broken into the city and beaten thousands of devils.

The Chinese ** had the advantage in numbers, and the Japanese army, as the defender, had the advantage of the terrain, and for a while, the two sides were inseparable.

If they continue to fight like this, both sides will lose, and the Japanese army does not want their precious soldiers to be consumed like this.

And if you don't get rid of the devils before dawn, tomorrow, as soon as the Japanese planes and artillery come, they will cut off everyone's back road, and they will continue to bomb the obstacles on the road of the Japanese army's escape to Nanchang.

Therefore, Yu Jishi, commander of the 74th Army, constantly gave orders to the 51st and 58th divisions, urging them to quickly defeat the Japanese defenders in Gao'an to prevent future troubles.

At this time, the artillery battalion of the 58th Division also learned from the 51st Division, pulled over a few mountain guns, and set them up to shoot at the area around the city gate of Gao'andong.

Although the blind shooting at night was average, because the Japanese hedgehogs were concentrated in the small Dongcheng District, it was possible to knock out a firepower point or a few devils with one shot.

Naturally, this artillery did not dare to fire at its own people who were stabbing hard, but if it was attacked at the east gate, it could blow up the rear road of the Japanese army and cut off the road for them to assist the front line.

By the way, the Dongcheng Tower was also blown up, in case the Japanese troops in the city were compressed to the East City Gate, the Japanese army's firepower point on the Dongcheng Tower would be a headache for everyone.

Secondly, I also hope that the vanguard of the 57th Division can make a surpassing attack and hit the east tower of Gao'an City, although this is unrealistic at present, but it can also be prepared in advance.

The 103rd Wing of the Japanese Army also set up a lot of strongholds and troops on its own back road to Nanchang to ensure the safety of its own back road.

Now the 57th Division of Xishan Wanshougong, although it was cut off there, the rear road of the 103rd Wing of the Japanese Army, was also fiercely attacked by the Japanese troops who came from Nanchang to aid Gao'an.

From the current point of view, Sangou feels that it is difficult for a 74th Army to completely annihilate a wing of the Japanese army, and there should be no problem in defeating a wing, but it is very difficult to completely annihilate it.

Last year, more than a dozen divisions and more than 100,000 people surrounded the 106th lightly armed division without tanks and heavy artillery in the ravines and ravines, and fought for several days before they finally managed to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, or to say that they were close to completely annihilating the 106th Division.

Now in Gao'an, a small city with only some hilly areas in the plain, there are only a few divisions in the middle of the country, and it is indeed a bit whimsical to want to encircle and annihilate a wing of the Japanese army with heavy artillery and tanks.

The 103rd Wing of the Japanese Army deployed all its heavy artillery in the stronghold connecting Gao'an City and Nanchang to the east, and some tanks were also there, and there were only some infantry in the city.

The melee in the city lasted until the next day, but due to the misalignment of the positions of the two sides, the Japanese planes were helpless to fly, and after circling a few times, they had to throw bombs outside the city and go back to the errand.

The Japanese heavy artillery outside the eastern city did not dare to fire at the city, and learned from the Japanese planes to fire at the outside of Gao'an City, and this effect was very average.

The soldiers on both sides in the city were exhausted from continuous fighting, and the 74th Army ordered all units to fight and rest in batches, making it clear that they would consume the devils with more people.

The main reason is that during the day, when they saw that the Japanese planes and artillery were helpless, they continued to stick to the devil and did not let them get out, so that they had the opportunity to avoid being bombed by the Japanese artillery.

Therefore, Sangou arranged for two companies to rest on the spot, and one company continued to harass the Japanese army, and then took turns to rest and fight, taking turns to attack the Japanese army, and not let the devils rest.

Although the intensity of the attack during the day was reduced, the continuity was still there, and the Japanese army did not dare to take it lightly, and the battle for any house would be repeated repeatedly.

In the face of the gradually compressed position, every inch of land is now a land of life for the Japanese army, and if you lose an inch, there is a little less chance of survival.

Therefore, in the face of the attack of the Chinese **, the Japanese army defended to the death, and would rather not rest during the day, but also save their lives first, in the hope that the reinforcements from Nanchang would quickly break through the resistance of the Chinese ** and come to Gao'an City as soon as possible.
