The artillery unit began to concentrate its fire on the East City Gate, and shells continued to hit the East City Gate.

Hundreds of artillery pieces continued to shell for more than ten minutes, and a section of the city wall at the east gate had already begun to collapse, and the Japanese troops could only passively defend inside the city.

At this time, dozens of howitzers of the artillery brigade began to fire, the artillery brigade units began to attack the North City Gate, and the 54th and 14th divisions of the 18th Army began to prepare for the attack.

One by one, grenades began to fall at the North City Gate, and as the grenades began to explode, violent explosions continued to be heard here at the North City Gate.

The 14th Division and the 18th Division invested more than 4,000 troops and began to attack the North City Gate, and the first brigade of the 55th Wing of the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed here and the baggage wing totaled more than 4,000 people, and these more than 4,000 devil soldiers only had more than 1,000 infantry.

"Da-da-da-da." When more than 4,000 officers and men of the 54th Army began to attack the North City Gate, the Japanese heavy machine guns soon began to shoot, and the bullets began to hit the 54 officers and soldiers like rain, and the 54 officers and men immediately began to dodge, while the heavy artillery behind continued to shoot.

150MM JAPANESE HOWITZERS AND 155MM GERMAN HOWITZERS BEGAN TO SHOOT, AND ONE GRENADE AFTER ANOTHER BEGAN TO ACCURATELY HIT THE EXPOSED FIRE POINTS OF THE DEVIL SOLDIERS.

As the grenades began to explode, the Japanese fire points began to mute, and a large number of officers and soldiers began to rush towards the north city gate.

"Bang bang." The 54th Army began to organize strike fire, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry artillery began to launch fierce suppressive fire.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese baggage troops was not very strong, and in the face of the charge of the 54 officers and men, they were obviously at a disadvantage.

"Bagaya Road, resist it, immediately launch a fierce shot at me, don't let the Chinese troops rush over." The captain of the Japanese Shaozo Brigade immediately gave the order and shouted loudly.

More than a dozen devil soldiers began to raise their Type 38 rifles, but as soon as their heads were exposed, they began to be shot, and all of them were shot in the head.

The troops of the 14th and 18th Divisions began to quickly approach the North City Gate, and the little devils were suppressed to the death, and there was no chance to counterattack at all.

Chen Lie, commander of the 54th Army, commanded the 14th and 18th Divisions to continuously invest troops, posing a great threat to the North City Gate.

"Boom, boom."

The howitzers continued to fire, and one grenade after another kept hitting the north city gate, and the Japanese fire could not be deployed at all.

"Wing Commander, the artillery of the Zhi Na unit is too fierce, our baggage wing has already paid more than 300 casualties, we have no way to counterattack them, Wing Commander, what should we do now, if we continue to hold on, I am afraid that the casualties of the troops will be greater."

A captain of the Heavy Soldier Shao Zuo Brigade walked quickly to the captain of the Baggage Wing, and he saluted and reported to the Captain of the Baggage Soldier Wing.

These baggage soldiers are specialized in transporting weapons, ammunition, and military supplies, and although they have received some military training, they are under great pressure in the face of heavy shelling.

Moreover, the 54th Army is a descendant of the Central Army, and the 14th and 18th Divisions have fought against the Japanese army many times, and they are rich in strong combat effectiveness.

The Japanese army vainly tried to have an infantry brigade and a baggage wing to hold the north city gate, which was obviously a bit of pressure, not to mention that the 54th Army was also assisted by the artillery brigade directly under the 47th Group Army.

THE ARTILLERY BRIGADE HAD 36 150MM HOWITZERS AND 36 155MM HOWITZERS, AND THESE 72 HOWITZERS DEALT A GREAT BLOW TO THE JAPANESE ARMY.

"Bagaya Road, you must resist, you must withstand the attack of the Zhina troops, I will immediately ask the 23rd Brigade Headquarters for help." The captain of the Great Zuo Wing said in a serious tone.

"Hey, Co-Captain." Captain Shaozo immediately replied.

The troops of the 54th Army, supported by the artillery brigade, began to storm the North City Gate, which was under great pressure.

The 23rd Brigade Headquarters is located in the north of Huaxian County, and the expression on the face of the Major General Brigade Commander Yuan Shou Sande is not very good at this time, after the 56th Wing was wiped out, Yuan Shou Sande realized that he must be punished, and with the 18th Division Headquarters strengthening the 23 Brigade to guard the North City Gate and the West City Gate, he has a sense of crisis.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the Chinese troops are concentrating their firepower on the North City Gate, they have gathered thousands of troops, and there are dozens of howitzers to help the battle, the First Brigade of the Heavy Infantry Wing and the 55th Wing is currently suppressed, and the Chinese troops will soon be able to approach, if we don't send reinforcements, I'm afraid the North City Gate will be overcome."

Hara Shousande was staring at the map to check, and Chief of Staff Nakasa came to Hara Shousantoku, who saluted Hara Shousantoku and reported with a solemn expression.

"Baga, aren't the Chinese troops concentrating their forces to attack the East City Gate? How could they start attacking the North City Gate, it's really damn it, why do these Zhina troops always keep an eye on me, why can't they concentrate their forces to attack the East City Gate. After Hara Shousande heard the report of the chief of staff of Nakasa, he said viciously.

He was very worried that the Chinese troops would concentrate their forces to attack the North City Gate and the West City Gate, but now that the Chinese troops began to storm the North City Gate, he was very melancholy.

Yuan Shou Sande knew very well that with his current strength, it would be difficult to hold the north gate and the west gate.

"Immediately dispatch the second brigade of the 55th Brigade to quickly reinforce the North City Gate, and at the same time contact the commander of the 35th Brigade Major General Sang Ming Zhaoer, and ask him to send the troops of the 124th Wing of the 35th Brigade to reinforce it, if there is a crisis here in the North City Gate, I am afraid that the 35th Brigade will also be affected."

Knowing that there was a crisis at the North City Gate, Hara Shousande looked at Chief of Staff Nakasa, and he said with a solemn expression.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." The chief of staff of Nakasa immediately replied with a salute.

"Boom, boom."

The artillery brigade continued to carry out fierce shelling of the North City Gate, and the troops of the 54th Army were already less than 500 meters away from the North City Gate, and the pressure on the Japanese troops was increasing.

In the face of thousands of Chinese troops rushing over, the first brigade of the 55th Wing has always been the main force of defense, when a gap was blown out of a wall here at the north city gate, the remaining 700 people of the first brigade of the 55th wing quickly came to the gap, and they began to defend.

"Plug the gap, don't let the Chinese troops break through from here." The captain of the first brigade of the 55th Wing shouted with a solemn expression.

The devil soldiers immediately scattered around, and they set up light and heavy machine guns, aiming their guns at the gap.

More than a dozen fighters were ready to break through the gap, but the Japanese light machine guns immediately began to fire, and the bullets kept coming out of the gap.

"Da-da-da-da." The bullets began to shoot out, and a dozen fighters immediately fell to the ground.

"Mortar, turn the mortar right away." The company commander who led the charge shouted.

Two mortars were immediately erected, and one by one the shells hit the fire point of the devil soldiers in the gap, and then the soldiers began to launch a fierce attack.
