The 305th Regiment, which mainly attacked the west gate of Gao'an City, rushed into the gap in the city wall with all its might under the charge of the third battalion.

The two sides launched a desperate battle at the position of the gap, and under the supervision of Division Commander Li, the 305th Regiment made a bloody investment, and as soon as the gap was opened, it immediately added two more battalions to enter.

The third battalion slowly gained a foothold in the gap in the city wall, stabilized the role of the bridgehead, and stubbornly guarded the city walls on both sides of the gap to prevent the Japanese from recapturing it.

At the same time, the second battalion came, and the troops began to spread to both sides, slowly knocking down the city walls on both sides, and the first battalion of the 305th regiment drilled through the gap in the city wall and broke through in the middle.

At this time, several machine gun companies also pulled mortars and heavy machine guns as soon as possible, went up to the city wall, and set up cannons and machine guns to fire at the resistance of the Japanese troops in the city.

Seeing that the 305th Regiment had opened the west gate, the 306th Regiment also launched a fierce attack from the south, and under the lateral attack of the 305th Regiment, the tower of the south gate was also overcome.

The 58th Division also took advantage of the fire at this time to loot and take advantage of the situation to attack the north gate, and for a time, the 51st and 58th Divisions in Gao'an City rushed left and right, and engaged in fierce street battles with the Japanese army.

Sangou moved the battalion headquarters of the third battalion forward, all the way to the wall of the west gate, and was connected with the machine gun, and the three infantry companies under his command are now temporarily out of contact.

Needless to say, they are resolutely carrying out the orders of the three dogs, to rush to the death, do not scruple about the rear, the enemy at this time, as soon as the camp is disrupted, there is no intention or ability to organize a counterattack and sneak attack in the first defense force.

The second is that the Japanese army has only one wing of people in Gao'an City, and there are only 5,000 people who have died, not counting some of the people who died in the previous battle, and now there are more than one division in the middle ** that broke into Gao'an City.

That is, more than 10,000 people, are fighting street battles with less than 5,000 Japanese troops, and at the same time, the surrounding ** are also actively sending reinforcements, and rushing to prepare to gather the 103rd Wing.

The 103rd Wing, the brother unit of the 157th Wing, is now near the Wanshou Palace in Xishan, and is stopped by the 74th Division of the 57th Army, and the two sides are fighting in full swing.

The 57th Division, which is good at guarding, has not yet made a name for itself, but it is also for itself to be able to mix and eat in the brave and combative 51st and 58th divisions, and it is also full of strength to play its prestige.

In the past, they were all retreats and lost land, but now they finally seized an opportunity to recover the lost land, and it is still a city, which is still an extremely rare thing in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War.

Therefore, the troops attacking the city are also full of energy, and now the commander of the 51st Division, Li Zhang, personally climbed the city tower and came to the temporary battalion command post of the three dogs.

Liu Guangyu, the head of the 305th regiment, also came, and then the regimental headquarters also came, and Sangou saw that so many bigwigs were coming, and he was embarrassed to stay here, so he took the battalion guard platoon and went down to the city tower together, and also killed Gao'an City.

Thousands of Japanese troops are now constantly squeezed by tens of thousands of Chinese people, and have retreated to the east of Gao'an City, and are still resisting stubbornly, guarding some strong strongholds, and not retreating.

In particular, there is a bank building in the center of the city, although this building is not high, only three floors, but it is also the commanding height of Gao'an City.

The key point is that ordinary banks used to be called money banks, and they were all high and fortified, and the walls of this bank were thick and made of stone, and ordinary mortars could not open them.

After Sangou arrived, a large number of soldiers were blocked by this Japanese stronghold outside the street, and the mortar of the bamboo pole had already fired a few rounds, but it had little effect.

Sangou glanced around, there was almost no place higher than this building, and it was impossible to use the terrain to suppress the enemy's fire, the enemy was now on the third floor, setting up multiple gun holes, and the strafing of light and heavy machine guns blocked the streets and roads in this area.

In order to ensure the safety of this building, the Japanese army even demolished all the low-rise houses around the building, cleared the shooting range, and also eliminated the hidden danger of hiding in these houses.

This is a headache for Sangou, and now the soldiers who have entered the city, most of them are light infantry, at most they are mortars of the machine gun company, and the heavy machine guns are not easy to carry, so they stay on the city tower, and they are far from the center of the city, and they can't reach the fire support.

Secondly, the only attacking force was the Demolitionists, but they could not get close to the Japanese strongholds, and the explosives packs themselves could not fly over.

Digging tunnels in the past, it took too long, I didn't know that I would have to dig until the Year of the Monkey to arrive, and by that time, the Japanese reinforcements had already come.

The same siege is not good, I heard the above, the Japanese reinforcement 101st Division has set off from Nanchang and hit the Xishan Wanshou Palace, and the 57th Division is desperately fighting against the bull.

Faced with this dilemma, Sangou summoned several company commanders or commanders of other brother units around him to urgently negotiate together, and finally came to a conclusion:

Only the mountain artillery of the divisional artillery battalion can solve this dilemma.

Sangou sent a signal corps, and returned to the West Gate City Tower as quickly as possible to find Division Commander Li, explain the situation, and ask for assistance from the division's artillery battalion.

It is estimated that even if the mountain artillery of the divisional artillery battalion receives an order to pull it over, it will take a while, and during this time, the three dogs cannot be idle.

Sangou first left some troops to contain and guard the devils in this building, and the other troops began to sweep away the enemy outside this building.

In addition to this building, the other devils are generally ordinary houses, which is much easier to solve, and the same as the previous street fighting, the three dogs divided everyone into several groups to cooperate with the battle.

Demomen, riflemen, machine gunners, bombardiers, etc., in groups of five or six, blew up along the houses on the side of the street.

Blow up a large hole in the wall, throw a grenade at it, and then the machine gunner or shell gunner will fire the burst of bullets, and the rifleman will pounce on it, using a broadsword or bayonet to deal with possible enemies or wounded soldiers.

If you come across a fortress-like stronghold, use mortars or grenadiers to fire smoke and high-explosive grenades, and blast them when the Demoman is approaching.

In this way, in the targeted blasting and assault, and the fan-covered sweep, the Japanese troops were gradually squeezed into a small area east of the city.

Now the defensive density of the Japanese army is getting bigger and bigger because of the large number of people and the lack of land, and the firepower advantage is getting bigger and bigger.

The rampant Japanese army, seeing that the attack was weakening, continued to organize small groups of men and horses to carry out strong counter-charges and counterattacks.

This made the assault troops in front of them very uncomfortable, they couldn't beat it down at once, and they often had to suffer from the counterattack of the Japanese army.

I hope that this kind of blind shooting can blow up some enemies, after all, the enemy is now very densely populated, and any stone that hits it may hit a person.

It's just that the problem is that stones can't be thrown at such a distance, and grenades are even more so, but mortars can, but mortar shells are consumed more now, and bamboo poles are not too willing to be so blindly shot and wasted.

Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if there were no shells when the critical time came.
