Chapter 139: Nanjing Street Battle (1)
At night, in the snowy wilderness on both sides of the road outside the city, hundreds of devil soldiers with rifles and light machine guns were sneakily approaching the Guanghuamen city wall.
Due to the fierce fighting during the day, there were many large and small craters outside the city gate, and a devil soldier slipped into a crater carelessly, fell heavily, and a devil captain who led the team suddenly scolded him in a low voice.
Then he continued to advance with his subordinates towards the silent city wall, although the Japanese attack during the day failed, and the losses were quite heavy, by this time, the various divisions of the devil were quite tired, and it was almost the last moment.
However, the Japanese commander also understood that this battle had reached the most critical moment, and it was up to him to see who could hold out to the end and who would be the winner.
The reason why the devil soldier stumbled and fell down just now was because the ground that had just snowed was muddy and slippery, and the second was that he had been marching for days, and the devil soldier was very tired both mentally and physically.
This is the epitome of all Japanese troops, devils are also human beings after all, they have fought with more than 100,000 Chinese troops in the Nanjing garrison theater for two months, plus the previous bloody battle in Shanghai for three months, all the devils are almost exhausted.
Until now, it has been supported by the strict discipline of the Japanese army and the idea that victory is in sight, and it has fought tenaciously.
Seeing that they had quietly approached within a hundred meters of the city gate, and there was still silence on the city, the Chinese defenders did not find anything, and the devil captain who led the team couldn't help but show a smug smile, it seemed that the people of the branch were also very tired, and their vigilance finally relaxed.
Is he finally going to take the lead in leading his troops to attack Nanjing City, the capital of the Chinese people? Thinking that he was going to make immortal achievements, this devil captain was like eating viagra, and he was instantly filled with strength.
Personally holding a light machine gun, he shouted in a low voice: "The people of China are unprepared, everyone, advance quickly, seize Guanghua Gate, and kill Gaga!" ”
The dragon tooth officers and soldiers who were waiting in battle at the pitch-black city held their breath one after another, waiting for Qiao Youhua's order.
Qiao Youhua stretched out his hand to pick up a grenade and shouted in a low voice: "Riflemen grenade ready, put the devil closer and greet them with a grenade first!" ”
In addition to the light and heavy machine gunners, nearly 200 Dragon's Tooth assault soldiers armed with MP18 submachine guns took out their grenades, and quietly unscrewed the back cover, fastening the pull ring in their hands.
Seeing that the Japanese army was gradually approaching, fifty meters, forty meters, and thirty meters, Qiao Youhua immediately pulled the grenade in his hand and threw it with all his might, while shouting: "Drop the bomb!" ”
Nearly 200 Dragon's Tooth infantry followed suit, sounded the fuse, and threw the squeaky and fiery grenades down.
In just a few seconds, nearly two hundred grenades whistled and flew down from the head of Guanghua Gate.
Due to their condescending position, the officers and soldiers of Longya easily threw the grenade at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and it happened to fall into the crowd of Japanese soldiers who came to sneak attack.
Nearly two hundred grenades exploded at the same time, and the power was no less than a missile, and the outside of Guanghuamen City suddenly turned into a sea of scarlet fire.
Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... The grenade explosions came one after another, and the fires flashed one after another, and the devils were caught off guard by this attack, and no less than dozens of people fell in the blast wave of the explosion on the spot, and the flesh and blood blown up by the raging shrapnel flew sideways, and they died on the spot.
The flames and smoke from the explosion had not yet dissipated, and the dragon's tooth officers and soldiers on the city opened fire one after another.
A light and heavy machine gun fired a series of dazzling red flames in vain, like bright meteors in the dark night, but these meteors were made up of deadly hot metal bullets.
"Ahhhh......h
Although the devil captain who led the team narrowly escaped the blast wave of the grenade, he had just stood up from a crater where he was temporarily hiding.
A burst of hot bullets whistled, poof! All of them shot into his body.
The body of the devil captain who had just stood up was immediately stunned, and then fell straight backwards and fell into the crater where he was hiding.
......The riflemen who had finished throwing their shells also opened fire one after another, and the submachine guns in their hands let out a heart-palpitating sound of gunfire, pouring down waves of bullets.
Hundreds of devils who participated in the night attack were covered by such fierce crossfire at this moment, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back, and they were constantly shot and fell down one after another.
At the same time, the same scene was also staged in the direction of Zhonghua Gate and Deqing Gate.
On the wall of Zhonghua Gate, bullets rained down, and the devils who attacked under the city were thrown to the ground by dense bullets like cutting wheat.
In the fierce rapid fire, Jiang Haidong held a formal rifle, specializing in grenadiers and light machine gunners who fought devils, and every bullet fired would penetrate the chest or head of a devil soldier, making one of the devil's grenadiers or light machine guns completely dumb.
In the vast dark night, like death, silently harvesting the lives of the ghost soldiers.
"Yaga Tooth Road! The sneak attack of the Imperial Army was discovered by the Shina people! "At the foot of the Purple Mountain outside the Guanghua Gate, on a hill near a temporary command post of the Japanese army.
A devil Dazuo looked at the Guanghuamen, where the flames were everywhere and the gunshots were loud, and said angrily.
"It seems that the people of China have been prepared for a long time." A young adjutant said with a calm face on the side.
"Order all attacking troops to retreat immediately, stop the sneak attack, notify the division commander, let the artillery units prepare for artillery bombardment, and fiercely bombard the city fortifications of the Zhinamen!" The devil Dazuo immediately commanded.
After such a long bloody battle, his wing suffered extremely heavy losses, since the night attack has been unsuccessful, there is no need to support the attack, in vain to increase unnecessary casualties, after all, the elite of the Chinese army in Nanjing, in addition to the weaker artillery fire, light and heavy machine guns and other automatic firepower is still quite strong.
"Hay!" The adjutant of Shao Zuo bowed his head sharply in response, and hurriedly turned around and quickly ran towards the command post with his saber on his shoulder.
It didn't take long for the sneak attack to fail, and the Japanese night attack troops in a dilemma took the initiative to retreat like a tide, but they were nearly half less than when they came.
Seeing the devil retreat, Qiao Youhua stopped shooting, lit a cigarette, and ordered Liu Yidao who was not far away: "One knife, pass my order, everyone retreats into the city and acts according to the original battle plan." ”
"Yes!" Liu Yidao suddenly agreed, immediately gave an order, and led the officers and soldiers of the dragon tooth who had just won a big victory to go down the city in turn, and quietly retreated towards the city.
At the same time, in the other two directions, Jiang Haidong and Wu Ming gave the same order.
The city, which was originally so strong in firepower that the Japanese could not move forward, was quickly evacuated clean and empty.
