Section 73

The Japanese army who failed to storm the castle tower had just retreated, and a whirlwind blew on the deep street, under the command of Nagano Yokozo, the Japanese troops who had been stationed in the rear of the flank, after resting long enough, suddenly rushed here, although the Japanese army deliberately suppressed the sound of marching, but at this moment the city of Nanjing had fallen into the skyrocketing firelight, and their figures really fell into the eyes of the stone and others.

Seeing this situation, the stone was not surprised or rejoiced, he smashed his fist on the city wall, the cold and hard wall, and suddenly made his fist full of blows, and the piercing pain came, making him gasp for air, but the strange thing was that there was no trace of pain on the stone's face, he even grinned and shouted excitedly: "It's coming!" The little devil is finally up! ”

The pillar on the side is also full of incredible expressions, and the eyes looking at the stone are full of different colors, such a mediocre offensive and defensive battle, replaced by ordinary people, in addition to refusing to defend the city, it is estimated that it is difficult to have other changes, but this guy in front of him has a completely different idea, and he dares to divide his troops to outflank the devil's back road when the army is not against the other party, this approach is not crazy, although they have received the light and heavy machine guns left by the original commander Zhong, the overall has been greatly improved, But the numerical disadvantage has always been their Achilles' heel, and in the case of the devils all desperately pressing up, it is really hard to say who can eat whom.

"Stone, how do you hit it next?" After pondering for a while, the pillar couldn't help but ask, because he found that the previous combat experience didn't seem to have the slightest effect at the moment, and he was not sure about his next move.

"Hit, hit hard, Brother Zhuzi, as long as the devils are dragged here, they will be finished." Shi waved his arms excitedly and shouted, and the next moment he grabbed a 38 big cover from his side, and he was ready to fight the devil in person.

The stone's movement obviously startled the pillar, and he reached out to press his shoulder, and the pillar hurriedly said: "The wound on your body has been cracked, if you move again, it will be a big trouble, it is better to stay on it and command, I will go to the front and promise not to let a devil climb the city wall." ”

Shi pondered for a moment and then nodded, the pain all over his body made him really dare not be strong, besides, he was on the side of the tower at the moment, he could fire at any time, and there was really no need to take too much risk when the situation was not critical.

Just when they talked for a few words, the Japanese army not far away had already reorganized their team and fought bravely, and the timely arrival of the backup and the personal command of the squadron leader seemed to give the Japanese army a strong confidence.

"Boom...... Boom ......" a series of cannons sounded from the city, without waiting for everyone to react, suddenly the towering city tower of Jiqing Gate instantly bloomed, shrouded in the night of the city tower, in the artillery fire was instantly ignited, the blazing fire will be nearby illuminated through, the figure moving back and forth on the city wall is clearly visible.

The Japanese squadron that concentrated all its forces suddenly gave full play to their advantages at this moment, and an extremely sudden bombardment directly made them scramble by the raging flames, and more importantly, under the illumination of the fire, their figures were undoubtedly exposed, so that the original condescending advantage seemed to have become a high target, and this change greatly affected their actions.

At this time, another round of artillery fire sounded, and immediately after, the merged Japanese squads relaunched a desperate counterattack.

The strange thing is that after his shouting, there was no gunshot, but there were nearly ten or so small cylinders on the city wall, only a muffled sound was heard, and a dense explosion came from the Japanese position about 200 steps below.

These things are newly obtained grenadiers after the handover, although it is not very convenient to use, but for the lack of artillery, they are indeed a very good weapon of long-range destruction, especially at the moment the Japanese army is crowded on the street, the formation is relatively close, * Although the range of a few meters after the explosion does not take care of all corners, but the numerical advantage is enough to make up for the lack of killing.

Nagano Yokosanichi pushed away the orderly who was pressing on him, and after jumping up from the corner of the wall, he angrily brandished his saber and pointed at the city gate and shouted, his fierce expression made all the Japanese soldiers around him feel awe-inspiring. It's no wonder that if it weren't for the orderly beside him who quickly threw him to the ground and used his body as a shield, I'm afraid he would have been blown up alive before the battle began.

The people of China are too cunning, in the previous fierce battle, they did not use such an attack at all, directly let them suddenly take precautions in this regard, after all, the lack of artillery in the China troops, from the Songhu battlefield was clearly exposed in front of them, so their artillery units in the absence of checks and balances, it became the trump card and indestructible weapon on the battlefield, where did they expect to encounter such a dense offensive no less than artillery.

The Japanese army approached the two wings of the city gate with a dense * offensive, and the long staircase was their goal, the stairs on both sides, as long as they could capture one side and take the city gate, there would be basically no problem in capturing this section of the city wall, as for the enemy troops in the city gate hole, the threat to them was almost zero, as long as a machine gun was left to watch there, there was no need to worry about the enemy's reinforcements rushing out from there.

It's just that there are too many * smashed down from the head, and the enemy on the city wall seems to have poured out all the * on their bodies at this moment, causing them huge damage, and the original ferocious offensive can't help but slow down at this time, and the surging battle spirit and confidence have also weakened most of them under this successive attack.

And Yokozo Nagano also came back to his senses in this violent blow, and the previous angry expression disappeared in a very short period of time, and faintly, he seemed to feel a hint that something was not right. The people of China have such ferocious means, with the strength of the Gutian and Iyama squads, it seems that it is impossible to kill under the city wall, not to mention anything else, just these few * fortifications, it is enough to make these two squads collapse without a fight, after all, they did not have artillery cover before, and in the face of the condescending enemy with a range advantage to throw, they did not have any effective means of counterattack, but they almost killed the castle tower.

No, the people of China have hidden such a stake, they must have other schemes! Since they can hide their strength in firepower, how can they not move in terms of troops. Nagano Yokozo was shocked when he thought of this, he saw the gunfire on the city wall in vain, and he only thought that the last resort of the people had been forced out, who knew that according to the current situation, the enemy on the city wall was like a bottomless pit, and he didn't know how many follow-ups had not been used, as soon as he thought of this, he immediately ordered a retreat, and he regretted the idea of preparing to take the city gate in one fell swoop.

But seeing that the assault team had rushed through the explosion area at this moment and rushed close to the edge of the city wall, he couldn't help but hesitate slightly, and ordered a retreat under such circumstances, but there would be a big problem, not to mention whether the people in front could withdraw or not was one thing, and the blow to morale was even more fatal.

As a result, all the Japanese soldiers were scattered in an instant, and when the assault team was about to charge up the stairs, there was a sudden burst of gunfire on the city wall, just an instant, it was to make everyone's faces green, machine guns, at a glance, no less than ten machine guns on the city wall fired almost at the same time, and the dazzling flames were like poisonous snakes waiting to be devoured, and they swept towards the city, only to see where the fire snake crossed, the sound of miserable screams was endless, and the lives were alive, Without even having any chance to resist the dodge, he was killed on the spot by a dense barrage of bullets.

There were so many machine guns that suddenly appeared, the dense metal storm was even denser than raindrops, and there was hardly any place in the range of dozens of paces under the city that could avoid such a continuous strafing fire, and the Japanese troops who rushed to the city were completely slaughtered in an instant, and even the Japanese soldiers who were ready to defend the city gate were not spared.

And this crazy strafing came and went quickly, and Jiqingmen City fell into an eerie silence for a while, as if the dazzling flames before were just illusions.

However, death will not be an illusion, the smell of gunsmoke and blood wafting in the air will not be an illusion, and the cruel fact of the death of his subordinates is not an illusion. Immediately, the words that should have been shouted long before the change appeared burst out of his mouth, and in vain exploded in the ears of all the Japanese soldiers, and also made these people shiver involuntarily.

The silent street, after a few breaths of silence, suddenly boiled again, but most of them were panicked shouts and chaotic collisions, obviously these Japanese soldiers were not as unaware of timidity and fear as in the rumors, and regarded death as home, now in this violent and direct massacre, all the weaknesses in human nature burst out, at this moment, they were no different from those retreating national soldiers, except for the different military uniforms and weapons on their bodies, everything was the same.
