Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was unable to climb the city tower all of a sudden, Sangou was not idle here, while beckoning everyone to use long bamboo poles to stab all the brick bunkers piled up by those devils down the city tower.

On the one hand, he sent people to find a large number of ropes, one for each person, and the rest, with a grenade tied to the front of each rope, the intention of which was very clear, that is, to fix the throwing distance of the grenade.

The Japanese death squad also used grenade tactics, throwing down long ropes and pulling a lot of grenades up, this time no longer climbing to the top edge of the city wall.

Instead, near the top, dig out a hole to hide, drive it into a large wall nail, tie yourself with a rope to fix it, and then poke out a little bit of the hole and throw a grenade at it with your hand.

In this way, although the grenade thrown out is very inefficient, because you can't see the situation on the other side, you can only throw it blindly, but it will also run into the time when it explodes to the defenders.

What's more, he can protect himself well, and it is impossible for the grenade thrown by the defenders to turn around in the air and fly into the hole where he is hiding.

Basically, the defenders' grenades either exploded on it or flew down the walls. Even if you use a grenade tied to a long bamboo pole to explode accurately, it is protected by wall tiles overhead, and the chance of being blown up is reduced to very low.

Besides, the bamboo poles of the defenders are getting shorter and shorter, and they have to be used in a few at the back, but the effect is still average.

Seeing that they were finally able to stand on their feet, the Japanese death squad excitedly took out the Japanese flag (Japanese flag) and the rising sun flag (Japanese military flag) and planted them on the city wall.

The devils below cheered, and some reporters accompanying the army hurriedly took pictures with their cameras, ready to wash them out and send them back to Japan, such photos are estimated to make the whole of Japan boil.

……

Sangou and they couldn't help but be angry and funny when they saw the turtle tactics of the devils at the observation post on the flank. It's a bit like the infantry with iron shells on their backs on the Songhu battlefield before crawling forward.

It also happened that the long bamboo pole was blown short, now use a rope grenade to play, most of the children in China, especially the children in the countryside, use ropes to tie stones to throw, there are many powerful, can throw a bird's nest ten meters away.

Similar to the movement of modern chain throws, first flung and flailed, and suddenly let go, and the stone in front of the rope went straight to the target as if it had eyes.

Of course, it is a visible target, for the devil hiding in the city wall, the defenders are an invisible and invisible target, it is basically impossible to throw the grenade tied to the rope over, and moreover, it has to turn a corner at the end.

Sangou drew on his experience of throwing stones when he was a child, and used a rope to tie the stones to fight the earth dog hiding on the other side of the corner, and played very slippery when he was a child.

So, Sangou personally demonstrated, roughly measured the length of the rope, grabbed it more than ten meters away, pulled the grenade in front of the rope, and threw the grenade over.

When the grenade was falling a short distance over the top of the city wall, the rope was pulled straight, and the rope hit the top of the city wall, and the grenade paused and naturally smashed into the city wall.

And if this place is an enemy hiding hole, the grenade will swing into it a little, and the grenade's explosion point is almost up.

A grenade suddenly turned around and swung into the devil's hiding hole, the devil estimated that it was difficult to think of and prevent it, an explosion, the devil would be crippled if he didn't die, even if he tied himself in the hole, he would die in the hole.

Of course, not every grenade can swing into the devil's hiding hole at such a good distance, but a large number of rope grenades are swinging over, and there must be one or two swinging in, as long as there is one, you can solve the devil in the hole.

For a while, those devil death squads who tied themselves to the hole in the wall were bombed so much that they wanted to become their own grandsons, and they quickly drilled into it again.

Many devils were blown to pieces, and those with broken hands and legs splashed and flew down the city wall along with the shattered wall tiles.

After a round of turning grenade attacks, most of the devils hiding in the holes in the walls were killed, and there seemed to be one or two lucky ones in the holes under the top edge of the city walls that had escaped the catastrophe.

In order to improve the accuracy of the grenade, Sangou specially called the bamboo pole to the observation post position, positioning and ranging, and after the bamboo pole recorded the data, he returned to the position and threw it in person.

The two devils, who were very lucky, died only a few minutes late, and the bamboo pole only used two or three grenades for each hole in the wall, and they swung in.

One of the devils couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked the incoming grenade with his foot, and two grenades really kicked him to the side and exploded.

The road is one foot high, the devil is one foot high, we are all devils who kill devils, the bamboo pole calculated the time of the grenade's flight and explosion, delayed for about a second, and threw the grenade over.

This time, the devil's foot came to kick again, but unfortunately, when the foot was about to touch the grenade, it exploded, and a ball of fire from hell instantly filled the hole in the wall where the devil was hiding, and the devil's body was dismembered and torn apart in the explosion.

The flags were blown off like dog skin plasters, and they were blown up.

……

The death squads that had hoped were killed one by one by the hateful defenders, and Hasegawa, the wing commander of the 47th Wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, was about to go crazy.

I thought that I could conquer Zhonghua Gate in one day, but now I have been fighting for a few days, and it has been the afternoon of December 12, and it has not yet been defeated.

The troops of other divisions and regiments in the back have already begun to complain, saying that if they can't beat it, they will replace us, and don't waste time by grinding and chirping in the front.

Everyone wants to take the lead, why only let the Sixth Division occupy the pit and not, and it is normal for other troops in the back to have opinions.

In order to appease the grievances of other divisions, the commander of the Central China Front above, Matsui Ishine, and the commander of the 10th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, were also urging Tani Toshio of the 6th Division to hurry up.

Gu Shoufu called Hasegawa to a scolding because the 114th Division, the right-wing unit that attacked Zhonghua Gate, had already attacked the city wall on the east side of Zhonghua Gate.

Among them, the 114th Wing of the 150th Division was on the city wall, engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defenders, and those who attacked it were in a hurry to establish a bridgehead position and spread their forces around.

The defending 87th Division was desperately trying to drive the enemy off the city wall, the two sides collided together, fighting at close range, and many soldiers did not hesitate to fly down the city wall with their own devils.

Note: Among them, the "Detailed Report on the Battles of the 15th O Wing of the Infantry" No. 6 in Volume 11 of the "Historical Materials of the Nanjing Massacre" and the "Japanese Military Documents" records as follows:

"The stubborn defenders tried by all means to desperately retake the walls, or concentrated all kinds of firepower from up and down the walls, or threw grenades or constantly blew bugles in an attempt to counterattack, causing constant casualties among our troops."
