Chapter 4: Bloody Battles
Subsequently, the continuous violent explosions made Fan Neng have a little confidence - the explosion of ordinary grenades is definitely not so loud, since the explosion is so loud, then its power must not be small, right? Maybe you can really blow up those turtle shells. This was just his subconscious thought, but the scene that happened next completely shocked him and those Sichuan soldiers.
The so-called anti-tank grenade actually blew up the four turtle shells. Even the Quirrell had three or four holes blown out of its body. As for the three armored cars, one of them was directly dismembered by the explosion, and the bodies of the other two were all torn apart, and three devils with flames all over their bodies ran out of them. The devils howled and writhed wildly, and finally fell down and became a pile of burning flames.
"Buy, buy, buy! This thing is poisonous! Fan Neng first broke out in a cold sweat, and then grinned: "Little devil of dog day, you also have today!" He muttered to himself, and suddenly shouted, "Brothers! Do! ”
"Hit!" "Fire!" ……
Anti-tank mines are the latest products developed by the Cadet Research and Development Institute, which is naturally another theft through time and space, the difference is that this time the thief is Hou Debang.
After the Xuebing Army entered Guangdong, the living environment was greatly improved, which enabled Hou Debang and others to completely calm down and engage in research and development. In addition, as a relatively open province and city in China with a relatively high level of education, Guangdong has a relatively large number of overseas talents, which has also provided enough fresh blood for the expansion of the research and development institute of the Cadet Army, which has greatly improved its scientific research strength. As a result, Hou Debang was able to obtain enough manpower to engage in the study of military techniques, and anti-tank mines were one of the products of this excellent environment.
Once the Japanese tanks were scrapped, the Japanese infantry lost their most powerful support, and they could only rely on their flesh and blood to attack. The captain of the Japanese brigade was very strong, and he knew that there were only more than 200 defenders on the opposite side of the road, so his idea was that as long as he was willing to pay, then, if he swarmed up, he could trample the people to death even if he stepped on them.
Is this really the case? Only five minutes after he gave the order to charge, he realized he was wrong. Not only wrong, but ridiculously wrong. What he never expected was that the defenders only had two companies on the surface, but in the row of houses in the back, there was still a company, and this company turned out to be a machine gun company.
The Japanese army rushed very fiercely, very bushido, although people fell from time to time in the sound of gunfire, but the successor was fearless, holding the 38 big cover and continuing to shout and advance.
Whether it's Fan Neng or Yang Chengjun, neither of them knows that they thank Chang'an and Zhu Zaiting that they still have a back hand behind them. There were too many devils, and besides, the four bombed-out tanks turned out to be ready-made cover, which made their long-range sniping almost useless. And when the devil rushes closer, the role that the four Maxims can play is limited.
"Brothers, hit me hard!" This is what Yang Chengjun shouted; "Brothers! Let's get it! Let's get it! This is what Fan Neng shouted. All the soldiers of the Xuebing Company and the Sichuan Soldier Company all opened fire vigorously, and the unique gunfire of the Wei Qing style was endless, but the crowd formed by more than a thousand devils seemed to be endless, and there were still so many people behind them, and they were getting closer and closer. The first to feel uneasy was Yang Chengjun, who quickly picked up the phone: "Yingzuo, we need support, there are too many devils!" ”
Their battalion was bubbling in an air-raid shelter in the back, and the battalion commander Fang Dake stayed in a small building with a frame structure and watched the battlefield. Fang Dake watched the devils rush up regardless of casualties, and while inhaling the cool air, he couldn't admire Zhu Zaiting. When they first learned the news, the officers of the Seventh Brigade did not think so, they felt that the opening of Guanghuamen was so big, and if the devils wanted to attack, it would be great to come in one squadron at a time, and there was no need to arrange another machine gun company behind the first line of defense. But now, it turns out how far-sighted Zhu Zaiting is.
He took the phone from the communicator's hand and yelled at Yang Chengjun: "The reinforcements are behind you, give me a hard beat!" It's going to be fine! ”
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chengjun looked behind him, and immediately became angry, scolding: "He NND, the battalion commander lied-" Before he finished speaking, his mouth couldn't close. Because right under his nose, the wall of the house more than 100 meters away behind him suddenly broke open the window, and then the barrel of the gun stretched out one after another. There is the sick style, there is the Czech style, and there is the Makqin - "Ha Lu Ha!" He suddenly laughed wildly, turned around and waved his arms and shouted, "Brothers, get down for me!" Reinforcements are coming! Hit! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of "click" and "thud" gunfire rang out behind him. Nearly 100 machine guns of various types opened fire at the same time, and when they landed, a barrage roared, and the devils who rushed forward on the opposite side fell down in pieces like trees uprooted by the wind.
The sudden sound of gunfire behind them frightened the defenders to tremble collectively. They had to shudder, the shot came too suddenly, and it sounded behind them. Instinctively, they thought: Did the little devil run behind us? In an instant, when they saw the devils in front of them falling down in pieces, they knew that reinforcements were coming.
Guanghua Gate was too close to the first fortification of the defenders, and even for the little devil with a broken leg, this distance could be rushed through in a breath. Originally, the devils who rushed to the front could see the faces of the defenders behind the sandbags, and just when they felt that victory was in sight and that they had formed a breakthrough to kill, a bean-like gunshot rang out, and the devils were stunned at once.
"Lie down!" "Retreat!" …… When he found that the bullets pouring down like a torrential rain came from the wall less than a hundred meters away, and realized that the barrels of those guns spewing deadly flames were uncountable, the little devil collapsed in an instant.
Charging in the face of such a dense rain of bullets is not a bushido, but a way to die! Even if the little devil is no longer afraid of death, he has to avoid it at this time. However, can you withdraw if you want to withdraw at this time? The answer, of course, is no. In this attack launched by the Japanese army, a whole brigade of devils, more than 600 people, were beaten into a hornet's nest. According to post-war statistics, in just five minutes of wild fire, the machine gun fired more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
Yoshizu Ryosuke originally had considerable expectations for this attack, because he knew that as long as the air force appeared in the skies over Nanjing, the Cadet Army would no longer dare to let "Jiguang" show off its might outside. What he didn't expect was that the defenders would be able to deal with Quirrell without "Jiguang". Moreover, the people of China were cunning and cunning, and they obviously had anti-tank weapons, but they were stunned to put more than a thousand imperial troops into it before attacking.
Just when Yang Chengjun commanded his brothers to blow up Quirrell and the three armored vehicles, outside Guanghua Gate, the devils of the two brigades belonging to the same wing had already assembled and were preparing to follow up. However, when the storm of machine guns rang out, Yoshizu Ryosuke, as well as the other junior officers, immediately realized that this attack had failed again.
The firepower of the people of China was so fierce that they not only killed all the imperial troops who entered the city or suppressed them in the pile of dead people, but also passed through the doorway, and several devils who reconnoitred the battle outside the gate also turned into a hornet's nest.
The "click" gunfire finally stopped, and suddenly, the city erupted in deafening cheers.
"Click!" The gunshots rang out again, interspersed with the sound of rifles—the devil who had not died just now was preparing to flee. However, in front of the machine gunners of one company, in front of the infantry of two companies, how could those dozens of devils run out of the way.
The gunfire in the city gradually thinned out, and the cheers rang out again.
Outside the city, there was a deathly silence. Because, even from the worst point of view, they did not believe that a brigade of more than 1,000 imperial troops could be completely wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour. From this, they thought: what a powerful existence the defenders in the city are! Compared with the time when the Ninth Division was in North China, the strength of the Ninth Division has been greatly adjusted, and more than half of it has been replenished from the domestic reserve forces. Despite this, because the Japanese army implemented a policy of elite soldiers, its combat effectiveness was not affected much. On the contrary, because of its recent victories, its comprehensive combat power has been greatly improved compared with before. However, it is such an army, and when it encounters the student army, it is still vulnerable.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, the main officers of the 9th Division did not change much when they were in North China. Because of this, they have a heartfelt fear of the Cadet Army. The Japanese personality is quite contradictory, arrogant and at the same time has a deep inferiority complex. And it is this contradictory personality that makes them often able to forget the lessons of the past and become quite arrogant. In the same way, once they are hit, their inner inferiority complex will become stronger.
As soon as they learned that the defenders in the city had a section of the Cadet Army, the psychology of the officers and men of the Ninth Division underwent a subtle change. However, the Japanese are standard sluts who do not see the Yellow River, and it is precisely because of the fear hidden in their hearts that they are more and more eager to defeat the student army and rebuild their confidence. However, in the battle just now, their fragile confidence was immediately shattered......
The battle just now was personally commanded by Yoshizu Ryosuke. His original idea was to capture Guanghuamen in one fell swoop and become the first army to enter Nanjing, so as to reap a large enough share of the military exploits. But now, contrary to the backfire, Guanghuamen not only failed to capture, but also lost a brigade in vain.
A brigade of Imperial soldiers! How many brigades were there in the 9th Division—he thought about it, feeling only a cramping in his heart and a blackness in front of his eyes—and suddenly, he hissed and shouted, "Fire!" Shoot me! I'm going to raze the city of Nanjing to the ground! ”
