Smith is right, today is indeed a good weather, I am afraid that the Japanese army outside the city also thinks so, so the Japanese troops outside Guanghua Gate mobilized heavy troops to launch wave after wave of attacks on Guanghua Gate. Outside the city, the 36th Infantry Wing of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army launched a fierce attack on Guanghua Gate, and the Chinese defenders inside the city wall included the 932nd Regiment of the 156th Division of Guangdong, the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Military Police Regiment, the reinforced platoon, the 1st and 3rd Engineer Battalion of the Teaching Corps, the non-commissioned officer battalion, some officers and soldiers of the 51st Division, the 3rd Company of the Combat Vehicle, the 3rd Platoon of the Combat Vehicle, and the militia. There are also the officers and soldiers of the 259th Brigade, 260th Brigade, and 261st Brigade of the 87th Division of the National Army who withdrew from the archway, engineer school, Shimenkan, and Haifu Lane outside the city, as well as some officers and soldiers of the 305th and 301st regiments of the 51st Division who retreated from Gaoqiaomen.

If you simply compare the strength of the two sides, the national army defending the city is not much different from the Japanese army outside the city, but the Japanese army outside the city not only has large-caliber artillery, but also aircraft and tanks to help the battle. In the face of wave after wave of continuous attacks by the Japanese army that had the advantage in firepower, the national army troops who had already suffered a large number of casualties on the city could only desperately block the opponent, but as the battle continued, the defenders of Guanghuamen were almost unable to withstand the attack of the Japanese army outside the city.

At about 5 o'clock in the morning, the 36th Wing of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army attacked for the first time the position of the city wall that had been collapsed by artillery fire 600 meters to the right of Guanghua Gate. The defenders drew a large number of troops, and almost relied on the life-for-life style to force back the Japanese troops who had attacked the position. Soon after Qin Feng led the retreat, the Japanese 36th Wing attacked the defenders' positions again, and this time, the defenders failed to push back the Japanese troops who had attacked the positions.

"Open the artillery" With the neighing shout of the Japanese artillery commander outside the city, from 8 o'clock to 9:40 in the morning, the Japanese artillery outside the city began to concentrate fire on the city gate to delay the shooting, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese infantry attacked and set off from the right side of the city gate to engage in street battles with the defenders, and after being shelled by the Japanese army for one hour, the Chinese defenders retreated on all fronts.

The defeated defenders did not walk away, but used the terrain in the city and the Japanese troops entering the city to engage in street fighting, and the equally exhausted Japanese troops were desperate to defeat the defenders, so they had to carry artillery up the city tower and condescendingly bombarded the desperately resisting defenders in the city. "Boom" A fireball erupted from a window on the second floor of a two-story building, and the huge explosion shattered the glass on several other windows, and behind the masonry more than 100 meters away from the small building, a Japanese grenadier took out another grenadier grenade with a proud face.

"Boom" was another explosion, and the machine gun position on the right side of the small building that kept spitting flames was swallowed up by the rising smoke. Hit the target, with joy in his eyes, Yoshio Yamada was a little proud of his performance, and destroyed two enemy fire points with only two grenadiers, such an accuracy rate is rare in the imperial army. With a crisp sound of "dang", Yoshio Yamada, who was taking out the third grenade from the bullet bag behind his waist, froze on the spot, ignoring the shouts of his companions beside him.

"Yamada-kun? Yamada-kun, what's wrong with you? The Japanese soldier closest to Yoshio Yamada reached out and patted Yoshio Yamada on the shoulder, but he didn't want to just pat it lightly, but Yoshio Yamada, who was still holding a grenade grenade in his hand, fell straight and face down. Oh no, Yamada Junyu is broken. Yoshio Yamada, who was planted face down, had already lost his breath, and a bullet from an unknown place chiseled a bullet hole in Yoshio Yamada's steel helmet, and there was another crisp sound, and the Japanese soldiers who were shouting next to the body of Yamada's father also followed in the footsteps of Yamada's father.

Two soldiers were killed by bullets piercing through their steel helmets, and some veterans in the Japanese formation shouted, "Snipers, be careful of the snipers of the Chinese people." "The Japanese soldiers who had temporarily stopped at the corner lowered their figures, and at this time there were already officers searching for suspicious places with binoculars, and as soon as they found the location of the enemy gunners, they would immediately order mortars to fire. Kobayashi Jue, who was holding the binoculars, looked left and right for a while, but unfortunately he didn't find the location of the gunner, if he couldn't find the location of the other party, the mortar fire was fierce in time, and I was afraid that it would not cause any damage to the other party.

Not discovering the other party's position is not only a crisis for Kobayashi Satoru, who holds the position of squad leader, but also a mistake in his own command. His squad now has more than 40 people, and Kobayashi Satoru originally wanted to avoid the Shina army fighting against the large army, and after his squad made a detour through this piece of ruins, he attacked from the flank of the Shina army that intercepted them, but he didn't expect his squad to be blocked here.

It's shameful to be blocked, it's a shame that I've lost several soldiers in a row, but I haven't really seen the shadow of my opponent. When a Japanese soldier on his side was shot in the head, Kobayashi Satoru, who should have been short to dodge and lower his figure, straightened up and didn't move, and turned his telescope to look to his left side. The fleeting gunfire in the ruins in the distance did not escape Kobayashi Jue's eyes, and Kobayashi Jue, who turned his gaze, was happy in his heart, and he was glad that he had finally discovered the location of his opponent.

"Mortar preparation" Kobayashi Jue quickly locked the opponent's position, but before he could finish shouting, he only heard a "boom" in his ears, and the wave of air that came from behind pushed Kobayashi Jue out from behind the ruins. This is the first time that Kobayashi Satoru feels that the gun flame will be so beautiful, although the opponent has also made some disguises, but Kobayashi Satoru still clearly sees the gun flame blooming in the distance.

Kobayashi Satoru, who was shot in the chest, screamed and rolled to the ground, and the plasma splattered from the bullet hole quickly wet Kobayashi Satoru's chest. The squad leader was shot, which is not a good thing for the other soldiers in the squad, especially since this Kobayashi Jue's own uncle is a high-ranking official in the military department. "Nishimura, Okamoto, you cover me, I'll go get the squad leader back." An empty-handed veteran of the Japanese army rushed towards Satoru Kobayashi, who was also struggling to move his body backwards.

The Japanese veterans who were running quickly did not directly drag Kobayashi Jue lying on the ground, but first pounced behind the corpse not far from Kobayashi Jue, and then slowly raised his head and looked a few times in the direction of the bullet, and finally decided to drag Kobayashi Jue, who was still bleeding on his chest. Things seem to be a bit unexpected by everyone, including the Japanese veteran who saved people, almost all the Japanese soldiers at the scene thought that the enemy gunmen would take the opportunity to shoot the person who tried to save Kobayashi Jue, but none of them thought that the other party would just let the Japanese veteran save the injured Kobayashi Jue.

The squad leader was seriously wounded, and according to military custom, Kurosawa, the highest-ranking second lieutenant in the squad, became the temporary commander. "Smack" just turned out that the second lieutenant Kurosawa in command fell in response, and the bullet fired from a distance happened to hit Kurosawa in the neck through a large hole in the earthen wall. "Eight-Grid, damn it." The team's gunners fired three shells with mortars at a location where the opposing gunners might be hiding, but unfortunately they had no way of confirming whether they had killed the opposing gunners.

After the shells were dispersed, the remaining Japanese soldiers in Kobayashi's squad waited in place for more than ten minutes under the leadership of Cao Chang, until they were convinced that the elusive gunmen of the other side had either left or died under the fire, and then they came out from behind the rubble and continued to rush towards another street corner where the guns were ringing. With the experience just now, the rest of the Japanese soldiers were a lot more careful, and while moving forward cautiously, they did not forget to be vigilant about the movements around them, and if there was anything wrong, they shot it first.
