Chapter Ninety-Five: Fierce Battle at Guanghua Gate

6.95 Fierce battle at Guanghua Gate

When Taketo's squadron rushed up, he sadly found that the bait they had dropped in front of the Chinese army position had been eaten, and he had to let his squadron take the place of Takagi's team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Jing Shuxuan, who was waiting for Jing Shuxuan in the night, was panting excitedly, and a telegram from him that was extremely fake was quickly sent:

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Auxiliary Division of Ji Jialiang, the Chinese army in Guanghuamen launched a surprise attack on our patrol, the battle expanded rapidly, the Zhuteng squadron was surrounded, and our department was forced to launch a full-scale attack on Guanghuamen, and requested artillery support from the division and regiment......"

Before the commander of the Ji Jialiang Auxiliary Division could finish reading Jing Shuxuan's telegram, Serikawa Shu's 9th Mountain Artillery Wing opened fire, and Jing Shuxuan's excuse was really clumsy.

Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi brought a bottle of Chinese wine, which was his personal gain when the 9th Division passed through Wuxi, and now that Jing Shuxuan was a rising bird, it was time for Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi and Commander of Ji Jialiang's Auxiliary Division to sit down and think about how to explain to Commander Matsui Ishine.

"Is the report of the 18 brigade now forwarded to the command of the Front?" Chief of Staff Nakagawa Guang raised the paper in his hand, and the commander of the auxiliary division Ji Jialiang shook his head with a smile:

"It's not the right time, Jing Shuxuan still needs time to expand the situation, I think it won't be long before his second telegram arrives, and the previous period should be regarded as preventing the 18th Brigade from disobeying Commander Matsui's orders....."

Then the two old foxes began to drink and talk, and the distant artillery fire was their best accompaniment.

The first salvo of the 9th Mountain Artillery Wing covered the circular position at the head of the Gwanghwamun moat, the heavy machine-gun positions of the 9th Company were hit, and the sudden weakening of defensive fire allowed Taketo Shaosa's squadron to find an opportunity to attack.

One battle after another consumed not only the physical strength of the officers and men of the Nanjing garrison, but also their spirit was exhausted to the extreme, and this fatigue became impulsive and reckless when it manifested itself on the battlefield, and from time to time some of Lin Gensheng's subordinates stood up and shot at the Japanese army, this kind of "bravery" equivalent to suicide The result was quite tragic, but there was no fear and fear on the faces of those officers and soldiers who were hit by Japanese bullets, and Lin Gensheng only saw relief and happiness in their eyes.

War makes people extremely vulnerable, and the battle mode that can end a life with just a finger is really cruel!

"Light machine gun! Plug the loopholes of the heavy machine gun! The correspondent went to the artillery for support! Don't fucking straighten your back! Isn't it too long! Fuck me down! Shoot! Hit the crowd inside! ā€

The commanders were shouting loudly in and out of the trenches, correcting the mistakes of some soldiers and issuing orders from time to time, the grenadiers and mortars of the Japanese army were roaring, and the earth kicked up by the explosion was flying over the heads of the officers and soldiers, "When...!" It was the sound of a bullet hitting the steel helmet, a rifleman fell on his back in front of Lin Gensheng, he tripped over the corpse, failed to stand firm and fell forward, the herald behind him grabbed Lin Gensheng, as a result of a stray bullet hit the herald's neck, the little guy's eyes lost their luster in an instant, and then the whole person fell heavily on Lin Gensheng's back.

"Hurry up! Not so dangerous! Lin Gensheng arched his herald with his arm, but received no answer, he turned his body vigorously, and saw a pale face, Lin Gensheng lost his herald again.

"Company commander! I'm here to help you! Ergou appeared again, he seemed to be paying attention to Lin Gensheng all the time, as long as Lin Gensheng was in trouble or made a big move, Ergou would suddenly appear.

After Lin Gensheng was pulled out by Ergou, he picked up the two grenades on the ground and unscrewed the back cover, and he said to Ergou while sorting out the fuse: "My herald is gone again, you can find me a clever boy to come over." ā€

Ergou glanced at the two corpses next to him and then asked Lin Gensheng, "How many are they?" ā€

"Don't ask these bad words! I'm in a hurry, I'll catch you to replace you! ā€

"Then it's decided!"

This is Ergou's answer!

"What are you doing with me when you don't let the squad leader do it? If you don't tell me a word, I'll give you ......."

Lin Gensheng suddenly grabbed Ergou's collar, his eyes went directly to Ergou a few centimeters in front of him, I don't know why Lin Gensheng just didn't want to see Ergou, was he blaming Ergou for coming back too late with reinforcements? I'm still afraid to see Ergou and think of the brother of the old 9th Company, and Lin Gensheng himself doesn't know very well.

"I just wanted to talk to you... It's true! Not why! I don't want to be a class leader! I'm not that material! I know this best! I just want to follow you, company commander, just let me be your herald! ā€

Ergou's expression was very sincere when he spoke, and this honesty made Lin Gen unable to make a fire.

"Okay! You kid! Good..! I'll make you my correspondent! Come! Throw these two grenades out first! Then we go to row 1 and you kid follows! I don't want to change people anymore! ā€

Lin Gensheng stuffed the grenade in his hand into Ergou's hand, then picked up a rifle on the ground and stood up with a hunched waist, Ergou stood up violently and pulled off the fuse and then threw the two grenades far away, after throwing it, he immediately bent down and followed Lin Gensheng's buttocks, and the two of them began to continue to walk through the trench.

"I said, you kid didn't look at the bullet point? Just throw it away in a daze? If you can't blow up the little devils, that's a waste of ammunition! I don't know how you got out of the recruit company. Lin Gensheng spoke to Ergou as he advanced, his movements were very neat, the trench full of weapons, personnel and sundries was as wide as a road in Lin Gensheng, and Ergou used all his strength to keep up with Lin Gensheng's speed.

"I've seen what I'm throwing! It's true! I hit a devil officer when I threw it! ā€

Ergou's answer is very "honest", and "honest" is unbearable.

I believe you have ghosts! Lin Gensheng quickly turned a corner, and the position of the 1st platoon arrived.

The breakthrough point chosen by Taketo Shaozo was in the 9th Company, and the front of the 1st platoon was the most dense area of firefighting, and Taketo Shaosa swept all the Type 92 heavy machine guns and crooked handles of his squadron at the 1st platoon, and with this ferocious firepower, the Taketo Squadron squeezed to a distance of 50 meters in front of the 1st Platoon's position.

Fifty meters is not far away, but it is not close, although the officers and men of the 1st platoon were suppressed by the Japanese machine-gun fire and could not raise their heads, but they used a large number of grenades to form a wall of fire in front of the position, and finally blocked the bamboo and rattan squadron, and the special service regiment in the trench on the right saw that the battle was tight on the side of the 1st platoon, so they sent a company to reinforce it, and Lin Gensheng jumped into the trench of the 1st platoon almost at the same time with the company sent by the special service group.

Rumble! Rumble! ...... The heavy artillery of the Japanese army began to bombard Gwanghwamen, the 18th Brigade began a large-scale attack, and the Japanese troops began to attack ferociously, and the reinforcements of the Taketo Brigade began to become more frantic when they arrived, and he drove his men to rush towards the grenade blockade line of the 1st platoon, and before the reinforcements of the Special Service Regiment opened fire, the Japanese jumped into this trench of the 1st platoon!

Hand-to-hand combat resumed......

***********************************************************************

Song Xilian on the Ming city wall saw that the Japanese army had broken through the first line of defense of the Guanghuamen defenders so quickly, and he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, the 36th Division and the 47th Independent Brigade were already very weak, and He Daru's special service group did not show too strong combat effectiveness, so if it continued to develop, it would be a matter of time before Guanghuamen fell.

Song Xilian sent a telegram to Huang Haoran, he didn't expect Huang Haoran to send him reinforcements again, this telegram only served as a reminder to the city defense headquarters that the Japanese were about to enter the city!

"Throne! The mountain artillery company is ready, is it ready to open fire? The brothers at the bridgehead fought very hard, and the cannon could also give them some confidence......"

Li Qinruo, the empty brigade commander, took the initiative to assume the liaison with the artillery, and looking at the fierce battle at the bridgehead, Li Qinruo wanted the artillery to help the infantry. So he made a suggestion to Song Xilian.

"Wait a minute, now that the bridgehead is already in a scuffle, the cannon can't be used, hide these family backgrounds first, and there is a time to play!" Song Xilian cherishes this mountain artillery company very much, and the shells equipped with 4 75 mountain guns are not too many, and they are so good that they are on the blade.

"Throne! The devil's chariot is up! Li Qinruo's eyes were sharp, and he discovered the new movements of the Japanese army by the light of the explosion.

"Tell Li Zhipeng! Let him blow up the chariot that the devil opened the way as soon as possible! Tell the sappers again that as soon as the Japanese army gets on the bridge deck, they will blow up the bridge immediately! The moat is now the last barrier in our hands! You can't take a step back! Song Xilian gave two orders in succession, and the defenders of Guanghuamen quickly moved into action.

Lin Gensheng saw the devil's chariot again, the chariot unit equipped with the 18th brigade not only had light bean chariots but also had a part of the Type 89 medium chariots, under the cover of heavy artillery, the Japanese chariots directly rushed into the position of the defenders of Guanghuamen, and the Nanjing garrison on the bridgehead was caught in gunsmoke and artillery fire.

The reinforcements of the 9th Company and the Special Service Regiment finally drove the infantry squadron of Taketo Shaozo out of the trenches, and seven or eight Japanese tanks roared over, Lin Gensheng arranged manpower to transport the wounded to the west bank while arranging the manpower of the anti-tank manpower, the first wave of soldiers rushed out There were more than 20 soldiers, they rushed to the front of the Japanese tank and then stuffed the explosive bag and cluster grenades in their hands under the belly of the Japanese tank, Lin Gensheng soon saw a Japanese tank on fire.

This time the little devil put too many troops, followed by the devil infantry of the brigade behind the chariot, the anti-tank men of the Chinese army suffered very heavy losses without separating the Japanese infantry and the chariot, and the Japanese chariots that encountered the attack also slowed down their advance and waited for the infantry to come to protect, and then the devil chariot and the infantry mixed together and launched a fierce attack on the bridgehead of the Nanjing garrison!

"Can you hold it? Brigadier Li! Now the bridge is still there, if the situation is not right, withdraw the troops to the West Bank! I'll hit all the mortars to give you cover! Song Xilian wanted to call Li Zhipeng, the commander of the 106th Brigade, and Li Zhipeng was in charge of the defense of the moat bridge.

"Throne! It's not time to retreat yet! Devils have devils' plays, and I have mine! It's a big deal, martyrdom! Now give the order to retreat, that is the defeat of the army! I don't want to be slaughtered by devils blocking the bridge! Li Zhipeng replied very hard, what can he do if he retreats to the West Bank? The moat can live in the Japanese army, it is impossible to stop the Japanese army for a while, the battlefield is the best destination for soldiers, Li Zhipeng has already had the consciousness of being buried in Nanjing!

The defenders on the east bank held out for more than three hours under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, killing and wounding more than 600 Japanese soldiers, destroying three combat vehicles, at 3:30 in the morning, the circular position fell, Li Zhipeng retreated across the moat with more than 100 remnants, the sappers of the 36th Division blew up the moat bridge, the Japanese 18th Brigade lost the passage into Guanghua Gate, the commander of the Jingshu Xuanshi Brigade immediately ordered the sappers to erect a pontoon bridge, and the Japanese artillery was aimed at the Ming city wall and bombarded, they wanted to win space for their sappers to build construction......

**********************************************************************

When Song Xilian was in the bloody battle at Guanghuamen, Shen Laoer's 99th Division was evacuating citizens from house to house in Baixia District, and Huang Haoran could be regarded as seeing the Chinese's love for home, originally he thought that there should have been no people in such a dangerous area as the east of the city for a long time, but Shen Laoer's report surprised Huang Haoran.

There are still nearly 10,000 citizens in Baixia District who have not left, these people have neither responded to the call of the Nanjing garrison to go to Pukou nor followed Rabe to the international security zone, they are guarding their houses to the death, in Huang Haoran's eyes, they are just a house of bricks and stones, there is such a big magic, this is how he can not understand.

The 99th Division and the Military Police Corps encountered a lot of trouble when driving these people, and these people began to become hysterical after learning that the army was going to transform their homes into combat bunkers, and some people even scolded in front of the officers and men of the 99th Division, saying that the Nanjing Garrison was worse than the Japanese, and for these people who had been paranoid to the point of being a little neurotic, the 99th Division's method of dealing with them was to knock them out and throw them into a safe area, Huang Haoran didn't want to waste his precious transport ship on this kind of person, and he didn't want to worry about these people.

In the face of guns and bayonets, the riots were quickly quelled, and the white district gradually became a real no-man's land, where the streets were filled with uniformed soldiers, sappers with materials and tools in and out of the houses they had chosen, and they wanted to transform these ordinary buildings into murderous weapons.

Huang Haoran thought that it was time for him to leave the underground command post, as the battle for Guanghuamen heated up, the Japanese artillery began to have no time to take care of Huang Haoran's city defense headquarters, maybe they felt that Huang Haoran had long been unable to withstand the artillery fire Oh harassment and transferred his headquarters, in short, now the shells falling on Huang Haoran's head began to decrease significantly.

Huang Haoran didn't joke with Shen Laoer, the new headquarters he chose was indeed not far from the old headquarters, and the staff officers didn't expect that Huang Haoran just took them through the streets and squares in front of the original headquarters, and then settled down in a small alley.

The men and horses of the special service battalion carefully searched this small alley, and as a result, Dai Mengru, Fang Xiaoqian and the old couple were copied out by Huang Haoran's soldiers.

"Miss! You and these two old men must leave now! This place has been requisitioned! ā€

The officer of the special service battalion who dealt with Dai Mengru and several of them was Xu Zilong, and he felt that the woman in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Why! This is a private house!" Dai Mengru opened his mouth to refute Xu Zilong's words, but in the face of the fierce officers and soldiers of the 99th Army Special Service Battalion, Dai Mengru was obviously a little weak when he spoke.

Xu Zilong looked at Dai Mengru again, this woman's courage surprised him a little, if it was an ordinary woman who saw so many soldiers with guns rushing in and was not frightened, it would be strange, where would he dare to ask questions.

"Miss! I repeat again! This is for the needs of the Anti-Japanese War, since you said that this house is private property, then we will pay, a house in the midst of war is not worth anything, Zhang Xiaomao, give this young lady 500 legal currency! ā€

"Yes!" A soldier walked up to Dai Mengru and took out a large stack of banknotes from his satchel, then counted out five hundred yuan and handed it over, seeing that the officer in front of him regarded himself as a woman who was greedy for money, Dai Mengru's writer tempered up!

"Take your money! I'm not rare! I want to see your sir! ā€

The beauty is still very good-looking, but it's a pity that Xu Zilong is not in the mood to appreciate the beauty at all now, he said coldly:

"You want to see my chief? Please forgive me for not being able to do anything! There are so many people who want to see my sir! Even the Japanese have made posts! Miss! My chief is busy! I'm afraid I don't have time to see you! ā€

"I'm a reporter for JoongAng Daily! I want to see your sir! You are so unreasonable! How can one treat one's fellow citizens like this? ā€

Dai Mengru lied, he took out the business card issued to him by the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Dai Mengru wanted to use the name of "Central Daily" to put pressure on the other party!

Xu Zilong glanced at his men, and the soldiers of the special service battalion began to invite Dai Mengru and his party to the courtyard.

"Which unit are you? Who is your chief? I'm going to have to tell everything that happened today in the newspaper! You guys are not right! Dai Mengru knows that she is powerless to change the situation, and now Nanjing is a place where the army has the final say, what is the "Central Daily"? You must know that most of the officers and soldiers of the Central Army are illiterate at all! Dai Mengru's threat was just a face-saving sentence for her.

Dai Mengru couldn't tell the reason why she was reluctant to leave this house, she could only see the gate of the city defense headquarters in this house, staring at the big courtyard opposite every day had become Dai Mengru's compulsory course, and the soldiers who wanted to drive her out had told Dai Mengru that the entire Baixia District had become a military restricted area, which meant that Dai Mengru could not find a place to see the city defense headquarters.

Dai Mengru left the old couple's master's house step by step, and at this time, a few people in military uniforms came from the alley, Dai Mengru saw that the officers and soldiers of the army who expelled him from the house were saluting these people, and the gold stars on the windbreaker, leather boots and collar made her heart gush with a glimmer of hope!
