"Boom" Tang Cheng was awakened by this explosion like a landslide, and before he could get up and sit up, he heard a tsunami-like shouting from the city gate, the shouting was too mixed and chaotic, and Tang Cheng couldn't hear what was being shouted at the city gate. What's wrong? What's wrong? Jiujin, who had been trained by Liu Goat to talk, grabbed a soldier who was running in the direction of the city gate and asked loudly, but was directly slapped on the neck by the other party.

"The city is broken, the city gate has been broken by the little devil, you don't go to the city gate to support, how much do you stay here? If Lao Tzu were your commander, he would cut down the guy you ate right now. The person who was pulled by Jiujin broke free with all his strength, yelled at Jiujin and continued to run towards the city gate. The city was broken, and the four people of the second company stood by the big stove, this was the first time they took the initiative to talk to the people of the teaching team after they were read down from the city, but they didn't expect the other party to give them a shocking thunder, and the Guanghua Gate that Xie Chengrui personally commanded and defended was actually broken by the Japanese army.

"Let's go, let's see." Liu Goat took off his apron, took out his rifle and shell gun from under the cart and put it on his body, and the czech-style light machine gun was already in his arms. Tang Cheng fell into a coma before returning to the city, mainly because of his physical exhaustion after blood loss, the injuries on his body were not very serious, after a whole day of rest, Tang Cheng himself felt that his body had improved a lot, at least his legs would not be weak when he walked, so Tang Cheng also carried his two shell guns and followed along.

There was still a distance from Guanghua Gate, and Liu Goat and the others met hundreds of soldiers of the teaching team who rushed to hear the news, and Ma Han, who had guarded the forward position under Liu Goat, was also among them. "I can't get by, the little devils have occupied the city gates, their machine guns and small cannons are so powerful, my brothers have rushed several times but they have not been able to do it." Ma Han had been promoted to company commander by Xie Chengrui, and he commanded the remaining soldiers after the first battalion was disabled.

Compared with other city gates in Nanjing, Guanghua Gate seems a little thinner, under the bombardment of the 36th Wing at any cost, the city wall of Guanghua Gate has long been cracked, and the city wall was bombed by Japanese planes before dark, so it collapsed a section of the southeast corner of the city wall in the shelling of the Japanese army at dawn. Immediately after the collapse of the city walls, the 36th Wing, which was ready to wait, organized a new artillery cover, and after the fortifications of the city gates with sandbags were chiseled through by artillery fire, the soldiers of the 36th Wing took advantage of the situation to rush into the city gates and take control of the main gates.

Tangcheng they heard the shout after they were awakened by the explosion, that is, the troops of the teaching team were fighting with the Japanese troops who rushed into the city, although the teaching team with superior strength in the battle situation annihilated all the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the city, but the Japanese troops who retreated to the main city gate set up machine guns and grenadiers to return fire frequently, so that the other troops of the teaching team who rushed to the rescue of Guanghuamen after learning the news could not approach the main city gate at all. "What are you doing here, the Japanese are at the city gate, go and snatch the city gate back for me." Xie Chengrui, who had a gloomy face, also rushed over, if he hadn't left the city gate temporarily, maybe the Japanese army wouldn't have been able to enter the city gate at all.

"Damn, fight with the little devil." Ma Han, who was glared at by Xie Chengrui, had no choice but to take his soldiers to attack the main city gate. Xie Chengrui came, and Liu Goat, who was not very eye-to-eye with him, could only take Tang Cheng and them to the side, and the four of them simply hid behind a pile of bricks and stones to watch the charge of Ma Han and his brothers. In the end, he followed Liu Goat to guard the forward position once, and Mahan's attack seemed to be much more slippery than when he was guarding the city gate.

More than 60 soldiers of the teaching team were divided into two echelons under the command of Mahan, covering each other's advances on the left and right, but unfortunately the closer they were to the city gates, the less they could provide cover. There were fewer things that could provide cover, and Ma Han and the others began to be more and more exposed to the opponent's firing range, and the strong firepower that was originally just two gunfire explosions from the main city gate instantly made everyone including Xie Chengrui gasp.

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly" Xie Chengrui shouted loudly at Ma Han's back, the Japanese army has built such a strong firepower network on the main city gate, Ma Han and they have no possibility of attacking at all, rather than risking such a big risk to die in vain, it is better to withdraw first and then make plans. Xie Chengrui's voice pale in the fierce fire of the Japanese army, because Mahan and his soldiers were already shrouded in the Japanese army's fire net at this moment.

The heavy smell of blood wafting from the wind made the air much thicker, and Tang Cheng, who was lying behind the masonry, clenched his fists so tightly that his nails pierced his palms directly. Under the cover of the bonfire, the blood mist splattered from Mahan's body showed a strange red, and these strange reds made Tang Cheng's chest feel stuffy and he just wanted to shout loudly. There were more than 60 people under Mahan's command, and less than 40% of them could retreat after Xie Chengrui ordered them to retreat, and more than 40 people, including Mahan, were all killed under the gunfire of the Japanese army.

"Lu Tianxing, your connection, you must take the city gate back for me." Ma Han's death did not calm Xie Chengrui, but made Xie Chengrui even more irritable. Lu Tianxing is the commander of the first company of the third battalion of the second regiment, and has always been regarded as a confidant by Xie Chengrui. "I'll have the artillery company provide you with fire support, and you have to move quickly." Before Lu Tianxing left, Xie Chengrui carefully told him a few more words.

From Mahan's company to Lu Tianxing's company, Xie Chengrui carried out several attacks on the main city gate that had been controlled by the Japanese army, but each time he was blocked back by the Japanese army, and by the time the military police taught the second regiment to rush to reinforcements, Xie Chengrui's second regiment had suffered more than 150 casualties. "Try your mother's blind command, knowing that the little devil's firepower is fierce, he shouldn't have forced so many brothers to go up and die in vain, directly put smoke to block the little devil's sight, and then cover the city with artillery fire, and then it was the turn of the infantry to charge." Liu Goat, who was lying on his stomach behind the masonry, muttered quietly, complaining that made Jiujin laugh.

Tang Cheng ignored Liu Goat's grumblings, and just watched intently at the attack of the military police training regiment, perhaps because it was a new force, the second military police teaching regiment that rushed to reinforce only one charge, and sent about a squad of soldiers behind a pile of masonry less than 50 meters from the main city gate. The pile of masonry was not enough to provide enough cover for the gendarmerie training regiment, but the soldiers of this squad were like a nail to make the Japanese soldiers at the main city gate uneasy, and the distance of less than 50 meters was enough for any soldier to shoot a bullet at the city gate.

The bullets fired from the main city gate shrouded the pile of bricks and stones in the net of fire, but unfortunately the soldiers of the military police training regiment were hiding in the shooting corner, as long as they did not mess around, the Japanese troops on the main city gate could not do anything about them. "Artillery support, artillery fire." Xie Chengrui shouted together with the head of the gendarmerie training regiment that having a nail firmly in place was indeed a golden opportunity for the defenders who were eager to recapture the main city gate.

The mortars of the "Boom" and "Boom" training regiments bombarded the Japanese troops on the main city gate, scattering and splashing rubble, bricks, slag and smoke rolled into the air, "Not now," Liu Goat, who was lying beside Tang Cheng, muttered in a low voice. Unfortunately, it backfired, and Xie Chengrui, who was already impatient, and the commander of the military police training regiment ordered the troops to attack almost simultaneously, and more than 200 people shouted into the battlefield, and their target was the main city gate that was engulfed in smoke.

"How's it going?" It was only a quarter of an hour that the military police training regiment rushed to Guanghuamen to reinforce it, and the troops of the 87th Division also rushed over, and the commander of the 87th Division was Yi Anhua, the commander of the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division, and it was his 259th Brigade who was ordered to reinforce Guanghuamen. Although Yi Anhua and Xie Chengrui belong to the same Whampoa department, he looks less capable than Xie Chengrui when he wears glasses, and compared with Xie Chengrui, Yi Anhua seems to be more like a teacher who teaches.

"If you attack it, you should be able to take the city gate back this time." As soon as Xie Chengrui's words fell, he heard a dense gunfire coming from the smoky main city gate, and a large earthy yellow figure flashed out of the smoke. "The Japanese army has entered the city." Yi Anhua looked at the earthy yellow that flashed out of the doorway and cried out, and at this time, a cold sweat had already broken out on Xie Chengrui's forehead, if this was really made by the Japanese army, he Xie Chengrui had three heads that were not enough for the captain to cut off.

The Japanese army really entered the city, after concentrating artillery fire to collapse a corner of the city wall, the 36th Wing mobilized troops to carry out an infantry attack on the Guanghua Gate, and after clearing all the defenders on the main city gate, the commander of the 36th Wing, Wakisaka Jiro, ordered to attack the city of Nanjing on a large scale. The city wall collapsed, and the Japanese attacking troops set up machine guns and grenadiers on the main city gate, but it did not mean that Guanghua Gate had been completely captured by the Japanese army.

It wasn't until the soldiers of the Gendarmerie Training Regiment occupied the pile of masonry and rubble in front of the main city gate that the 36th Wing could be regarded as really controlling the main city gate, and at this time, the follow-up troops of the 36th Wing also happened to arrive at the city gate hole. The Japanese troops who poured into the city from the city gate hole only charged and submerged the pile of masonry and rubble occupied by the soldiers of the Military Police Training Regiment, and in the face of the superior strength of the 36th Wing, the soldiers of that squad of the Military Police Training Regiment were nothing at all.

"Tell the artillery company to open fire and seal the passage for the Japanese troops outside the city to continue their attack." At the same time that Xie Chengrui ordered the machine-gun position to open fire to block the Japanese troops, he also ordered the artillery company of the Second Regiment to bombard the position outside the city that had already been marked. Although Xie Chengrui also knew that this was not of much use, the Guanghuamen position was his responsibility after all, and if he could not take back the city gate, his Second Teaching Regiment would be completely unable to raise its head in front of the 87th Division and the Military Police Training Regiment in the future.
