Yoshizumi Ryosuke Division, the commander of the division, was overjoyed, he smashed the bunker with the ammunition box with his fist with satisfaction, and issued the latest order: "Pass my order, the field artillery wing will concentrate its firepower to carry out raindrop bombardment on the city gate, and the tank squadron directly under the division and regiment will cover the second and third echelons in battle formation to attack the city tower......" Before the words fell, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke finally stood up and walked out of the open-air command post where he had been staying for nearly two days, he patiently sorted out the somewhat wrinkled military uniform, and walked in the winding tunnel, Squinting his myopic eyes and looking at the fierce battle in the distance at the Guanghuamen position, the battle passion buried in his heart was instantly ignited......

He slowly pulled out the saber that was strapped to his waist, and the handle and scabbard were engraved with a chrysanthemum flower symbolizing royal status. Needless to say, this is a family heirloom sword bestowed by the Emperor, and it is the highest honor; It is a testament to the high status of the Yoshizumi family; It is the only weapon to repay His Majesty the Emperor by absorbing the blood of the enemy.

The condensed expression on Lieutenant General Ryosuke Yoshizumi's face is complicated, with a yearning for battle; There is a thirst for bloodlust; There is the calmness of a commander whose heart is like water; There is also the passion that is about to enter a bloody battle and crush jade for His Majesty the Emperor at any time......

"Pass my order, all the Ninth Division here, target Guanghuamen, and prepare to ——— attack! Charge ———"

All the Japanese soldiers in the fortifications were like firewood burned by the fire, and the passion that had been silent in their hearts suddenly exploded...... With the order of the commander of Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the Japanese soldiers knew that their opportunity to be loyal to the emperor had finally come, and they wanted to repay the Yamato nation and the Japanese Empire behind them with the blood of the Chinese army, even if it was at the cost of their lives.

With the increasingly fierce roars, the Japanese soldiers, who had almost lost their minds, jumped out of the fortifications one after another with the weapons in their hands, and rushed to the main peak of Guanghuamen, which had long been reduced to purgatory on earth, in the heart-rending shouts of killing......

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, as the highest military commander of the Japanese army in the Battle of Guanghuamen, faced with the pouring of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under his command, as the commander of the division, he was naturally not exempt from vulgarity. On the contrary, he was brainwashed by militarism, and he actually held a saber in his hand, and at the same time as the Ninth Division was dispatched, he also fell into a bloody melee......

The field artillery wing also opened fire immediately, and more than a dozen "ninety" * guns aimed their guns at the gate of Guanghua Gate, and under the order of Wing Commander Yoshizawa Daisa, the fierce artillery group suddenly poured into the already dilapidated city gate like an endless flood......

As the first round of artillery fire ended, only a thunderous roar was heard, and then the gate, which was about 12 meters high and 5 meters wide, collapsed like a giant in the smoke that had not yet dissipated.

The battle lasted for nearly two days, and all the Japanese soldiers were waiting for the moment when the gate was breached, which meant that one of their feet had crossed the threshold of winning this victory. Under the orders of the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the Japanese troops who had already attacked the area around the city walls launched a group charge against the city of Nanjing, which had not yet dissipated......

Tie Haichuan, who was manipulating a Czech light machine gun to carpet fire at the Japanese troops under the city at the battlements of the castle tower, was also swept to the other side of the battlements by the air waves rolled up by the Japanese artillery fire. He also heard the sound of the gates falling, but he couldn't believe it was real.

The report of Jiang Jiyuan, deputy of the regiment, proved his judgment: the city gate was broken, the gate of the city was wide open, and the Japanese army, which was close to madness, could immediately drive straight into the city and blossom in a center inside the city of Nanjing, in which case, the city of Nanjing would be reduced to a second Shanghai...... Tie Haichuan didn't want to see this result, he tried his best to get up from the ground, covered his dull chest with his hands, and staggered down the stairs towards the city.

At this point, the Japanese Ninth Division has pocketed all the positions of the Nanjing city wall, and then it is time to seize control of the city gate, and then occupy the entire Guanghua Gate main peak position and enter the city to fight street battles......

Tie Haichuan almost fought for his life to block the vanguard of the Japanese army outside the city gate, and the Japanese army used the fortifications built by the defenders of Guanghua Gate before the war to reorganize their forces in a vain attempt to storm the city gate. Tie Haichuan roared: "Guard platoon, bring me the two Makqin heavy machine guns that are in the heart of the city tower!" ”

In less than a minute, two Makqin heavy machine guns, which totaled more than 100 catties, were perfectly erected in the temporary ring fortifications facing the city gate at the cost of sacrificing five people and seriously injuring eight people, under the desperate protection of the soldiers of the guard platoon.

Tie Haichuan and regimental deputy Jiang Jiyuan each operated a Makqin heavy machine gun to suppress the fire of the Japanese troops outside the city, and all the 333 machine gun rounds in the canvas belt were used up in less than 40 seconds, and the machine gunners then loaded new ones......

The Japanese soldiers, who were hiding in the distance, had already planned to capture the Chinese commander of the city gate alive, so they only aimed their guns at his shoulder blades...... Just listening to the sound of "poof", Tie Haichuan was hit by the bullet that broke the wind, and due to the impact force of the bullet after penetrating into the flesh, Tie Haichuan's body fell backwards as if someone was deliberately dragging it...... When he got up, he found that Jiang Jiyuan, the deputy of the regiment, and the two ammunition men were all killed by drinking bullets, and the bullet impact point was at the center of the eyebrows, and they were killed with one shot.

Tie Haichuan somewhat understood that the Japanese wanted to capture themselves alive...... Don't even think about the little devils of dog days! Tie Haichuan once again pounced in front of the fortifications and took control of the Maxim heavy machine gun, whose barrel had already turned red. The remaining bullets were exhausted in less than twenty seconds. The Japanese also seemed to have noticed the embarrassment of the defenders of Guanghuamen, and they gradually walked out of the fortifications and approached the city, they were eager to see the desire to survive after the siege of the weak Chinese defenders, so as to further plunge them into despair, and the pleasure of slowly torturing the captives to death seemed to burn the flames in the Japanese soldiers' bodies more and more......

Tie Haichuan was unwilling to be a prisoner, he had to use up all the guns around him before the Japanese army surrounded him, and finally used his own guns for the rest of his life. He shook off the Makqin heavy machine gun in his hand, and picked up a Type 92 heavy machine gun from the dirt pit next to him, and with his own roar that screamed to the point of being almost hoarse, the muzzle of the gun once again spat out angry tongues of fire, and the Japanese soldiers who had just walked out of the fortifications were knocked down......

*Knocked out again...... At the same time, Tie Haichuan seemed to see a Japanese soldier in the opposite fortification aiming his gun at his temple, he had no time to hide, the attack distance was less than fifty meters, once the enemy's bullet was fired, it would only take a second to take his life, maybe the Japanese soldier had already pulled the trigger at this time......

"Da ......" "Poof! Burst! Poof......"

Just when Tie Haichuan was ready to face death calmly, a noisy gunfire came from behind him......

The piercing sound of gunfire seriously stimulated Tie Haichuan's auditory system, and he subconsciously looked back, is it reinforcements? That's right, reinforcements have arrived!

This support force was none other than Yang Longfei's division of the 25th Regiment that had been withdrawn to the Qixia Mountain position by General Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the garrison. I saw that the commander of the first battalion, Xie Dacheng, bore the brunt of the attack, holding a Czech light machine gun aimed at the fortifications occupied by the Japanese army, and the second battalion commander Qian Liyuan and the third battalion commander Cao Guang were not to be outdone, and one of them grabbed a light machine gun and took the lead in rushing to the enemy's position. All the officers and men of the 25th Regiment were rebuilt after the war, and nearly 2,000 people swept towards the forward positions of the Japanese army like a hurricane......

Tie Haichuan roared: "Heavy man, hurry! Get me a machine gunner! Hurry up———"

As soon as the words fell, a large hand that suddenly stretched out from Tie Haichuan's right side reloaded the new * into the outside of the machine gun. Tie Haichuan turned his head to the right with a grateful gaze, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the "machine gunner" who replenished his ammunition just now was none other than Yang Longfei, the commander of the 25th Regiment.

Tie Haichuan had mixed feelings when he saw this, and the despair condensed on his face before disappeared in an instant, and it was replaced by surprise and strength full of heart. Tie Haichuan pulled the trigger and shouted as hard as he could: "It's too timely, Brother Long Fei!" If it weren't for my brother's timely arrival, my Tie Haichuan's life would never have been stopped, and even this Guanghuamen would probably not be guaranteed......"

"I'll tell you the truth, brother, I still disobeyed the orders of the headquarters and ran over without permission. There's no way, I've seen it on the main peak of Qixia Mountain, you guys are fighting too hard here, seeing that the city gate is broken, and the brothers don't come to help anymore, I'm uneasy! Yang Longfei has just recovered from a serious illness, his body is still recovering, and his voice is a little weak.

The Chinese and Japanese armies launched fierce hand-to-hand combat on the front line of the city gate, and the soldiers on both sides had the chivalry of the cold weapon era, and they were not afraid to face the enemy's bayonets in the face of the enemy's bayonets, and even directly faced the enemy's blades with their chests, and the bloody white-knuckle battle immediately entered a white-hot state...... The battle lasted until about half past six in the evening, when night gradually fell, and the besieging Japanese troops were forced to withdraw to their original defensive positions and rest in preparation for another battle.

With the darkness of the night, Yang Longfei, Tie Haichuan and others lit a bonfire in the ancient urn city, ending nearly two hours of white-knuckle fighting, everyone's face was full of exhaustion, the double overdraft of energy and physical strength made the soldiers who had suffered from the war have no intention of fighting again, at least tonight, they have lost their basic combat effectiveness in a short period of time. The same is true for the Japanese army, after two days and two nights of siege fighting, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Japanese army have reached a bottleneck, unprecedented fatigue swept in, and they really have no energy to prepare siege plans such as night attacks.

The attitudes of both sides coincided, and tonight they both held their positions and recuperated, all in preparation for a more intense battle tomorrow morning.

The 25th Regiment and the 89th Regiment were temporarily assembled into a single combat unit, with Yang Longfei as the commander-in-chief and Tie Haichuan as the deputy commander-in-chief, and all the soldiers were reorganized into a reinforced regiment with a strength of less than 3,000 troops.

"Damn, two days ago, there were 3,000 people in Lao Tzu's regiment alone, and this battle has only been fought for two days, and he has just fought out the strength of a regiment, this loss is really too great, and Lao Tzu didn't see so many people lost when he was in Luodian two months ago." After counting the number of people, Yang Longfei's heart tightened suddenly.

"Yes, it's only been two days, and the two regiments of you and me have lost more than 3,000 people combined, and I feel a chill down my spine when I think about it...... Brother Long Fei, we have to reflect to Commander Tang, and change the current strategic deployment under appropriate circumstances, the troops in the city are too scattered, and the Japanese army is gathering heavy troops, and one division beats one or two of us, which is very good to be able to carry it up to now! As far as I can see, the casualties of the Japanese army in the past two days are less than one-third of ours. Although we kept the city gate, it was at the cost of blood, in order to protect the two Maxim heavy machine guns in place, one of my guard platoons was crippled by the Japanese, how can we get it like this......"

Yang Longfei unceremoniously pointed out Tie Haichuan's shortcomings in command, and his sharp words could be described as hitting the nail on the head: "Not only are there deviations in strategic deployment, but I see that your regiment has not a small problem in tactical command. The tactics are too rigid, people attack, you defend, one beats people and one is beaten, this gap is huge! In a word, as long as you are determined to bear the beating, no matter how strong your body is, you have to tear off a layer of skin! If you want me to say, you can't stick to it, you have to change your tactics. For example, you order to open the city gate, first let in a squadron of Japanese soldiers, and then give him a dog to close the door and beat him up! Look, isn't it nice to be in a good place now? He had buried mines on the ground in advance, and light and heavy machine guns were set up on the towers of the city on all sides, and as soon as people came in, they would fucking burst out of these dogs, and wanted to leave? There are no doors! That is, you kid, if you want to replace me, you have already done this! Waiting for their artillery to blow up the city gates? ......"

Tie Haichuan understood and laughed: "Brother Long Fei, there is really you, and you have never played cards according to common sense. Tsk, tsk, why didn't I think of using this trick at the time? Brother Long Fei, admire! Admire! Alas, otherwise, in my opinion, we can use this tactic tomorrow morning! Hmm, how about I personally take our regimental direct team to lure the enemy? ”

"No way!" Yang Longfei directly rejected this suggestion, "I'm just giving an example, you don't want to think about how the battle was fought two days ago?" I fought hard with the Japanese for two days and two nights, and coldly opened the city gate to let people in, not to mention the suspicion of the little devil, if it were me, I would not be so easily fooled. Even if the casualties of the little devils are less than one-third of ours, then there must be a small 800 people, right? It's enough to make the devil's flesh hurt! They can't wait to eat Nanjing City without firing a shot, and the hand-to-hand combat just now can be regarded as a loss, and it is impossible for the devil not to have a long memory. Forget it, take it one step at a time, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. ”

At this moment, another brother army came into the south gate of the urn city, and the officer with the rank of major general walked in front of Yang Longfei and his party with a disgraced face, his face was dripping with hot sweat, and he said breathlessly: "Old Yang, I, we are here......
