"Yes, you've already handed in four of you this morning." The fat logistics officer of the 2nd Regiment looked at the southern pistols and four sets of standard equipment of the Japanese soldiers handed over by Liu Goat, with undisguised envy and jealousy in his eyes. There are many search teams like Liu Goat and them in the city, but Liu Goat and they got back a lot of Japanese weapons and soldiers, which are all genuine military exploits and rewards.

Until Liu Goat and them were re-recruited to the city gate position, Tang Cheng had been thinking about the fat quartermaster using bullets and grenades to privately exchange the Japanese military uniform with Liu Goat, but he didn't expect that for a little military merit, the quartermaster actually dared to take the ammunition of the Second Regiment and trade privately with Liu Goat. Re-ascending the city gate position, what was in front of him made Tang Cheng look sideways, he had already thought that the city gate position would be fought very badly, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene.

The mass machine gun position caused far more damage to the Japanese than Tang Cheng expected, and the six heavy machine guns, which had already measured and designed the firing parameters, gave full play to their firepower advantage under the use of cluster fire. Although the long-range shooting of the heavy machine gun is not particularly accurate, it is better than the large area covered by the bullet, and the skillful cooperation of the shooter and the secondary shooter makes the advantage of the heavy machine gun to the extreme, and at a distance of 500 meters to a thousand meters, the condescending heavy machine gun begins to strangle the Japanese troops attacking outside the city.

The long and short burst fire of heavy machine guns is a nightmare for infantry, and the burst fire not only trains the cooperation of machine gun novices well, but also has an exceptionally high hit rate. The arrogant Japanese artillery, accustomed to pushing the infantry guns to about 500 meters and firing directly at the target, suffered even heavier losses, and their shields could not block the firing angle of the defenders' heavy machine guns at the city gates. The living were cowered in the corners of the shields, unable to push the artillery at all, unable to open fire, and the two infantry guns were thrown halfway down the road and became bait arranged by the defenders' machine gunners, and the Japanese artillery and many Japanese soldiers who went up to support were lying around the infantry guns.

The squadron-level Japanese infantry battle groups that were ready to act as assault teams, although they all advanced at a different speed in a scattered formation, still suffered heavy losses under machine gun sniping; They often lost a third of their men to the 500-metre distance where they were ready to set up an offensive position, and by the time they reached their destination and began digging trenches, the Japanese soldiers who had stopped to swing their sapper shovels became long-range training targets for light machine guns and rifles.

Tang Cheng looked condescendingly with Liu Goat's telescope, and almost all of them were the corpses of Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms; This tragic situation of dead and wounded everywhere and corpses scattered everywhere made Tang Cheng happy. The gunfire that filled the battlefield sounded like a crack in the wilderness, and in the sound of machine gun fire, there were often people in the telescope who were moving fast, and under the powerful impact of heavy machine gun bullets, the person who was shot would suddenly twist in the air like a kite with a broken string and then fall at an unnatural angle.

If the Japanese soldiers who were not shot stopped to rescue their comrades, he would probably be the next to be shot, and the soldiers also used the captured grenadiers to bombard the devil's tanks and the barely usable bunkers that had been dug up with great difficulty, and every explosion that made the soldiers feel like they were falling into hell was only a small flower in the telescope. That's great! In the face of the multi-level firepower arrangement of the national army and the precision strike tactics of long-distance crossfire, the Japanese army left at least more than 400 corpses outside the city, plus the wounded who were snatched back, the casualties of the Japanese army outside the city at this moment were at least more than 600.

The Japanese army could not be beaten passively all the time, the defenders had light and heavy machine guns, but the Japanese army not only had light and heavy machine guns and infantry artillery, they also had mountain artillery and field artillery of larger calibers, and most importantly, they also had aircraft. Lying behind the sandbag bunker, Tang Cheng had less than five minutes to admire, when a sharp tearing sound was heard in the sky, and the Japanese artillery group opened fire again on the Guanghuamen position.

In the sky, it seemed that the shells that would never stop were constantly flying, and in the distance behind him were continuous explosions, and the black smoke and flames rising from the entire Guanghuamen position rose into the air, completely covering the entire sky. The huge vibration on the position made people feel dizzy, and the cold sweat on Tang Cheng's face hiding behind the bunker was dripping, and all the defenders on the city gate were just quietly lying behind the cover and did not dare to move, because they were afraid that their actions would cause the city wall to collapse.

The explosion of Qi Lang rushed all the objects that blocked them directly into the sky several meters high, the entire bricks and stones collapsed from the ground into the air and then turned into fragments and scattered, the space above five meters was all covered by orange-red flames, and the red-hot rolling shrednel and bullet casings were mixed with the shock wave to fill the entire space, and the Guanghuamen position had been bombarded into a sea of fire purgatory by the Japanese artillery fire.

The Japanese artillery bombardment finally ceased fire, and the gray-black smoke that rolled in the air quickly dissipated, and only then did everyone realize that the position suddenly became quiet. The grizzled defenders lay on their stomachs in the devastated position, scattered around them with some fragmented limbs in robes, some of the corpses were old veterans, some were just freshly replaced reserves, and the surviving defenders could only lie silently in their bunkers.

Everywhere there is gunsmoke, everywhere there is rubble and ruins! The scorched corpses were smoking, and the soldiers who were still alive could only watch and cry silently, and they would silently close their eyes for two or three seconds for the dead brothers around them. The position was already in chaos, and when another wave of Japanese attacks came, Tang Cheng suddenly found that there were not only people from the 87th Division and the 156th Division lying beside him, but he also saw people from the two military police training regiments lying next to Liu Goat.

"What's this battle for? We didn't beat the little devils away, but we disrupted our own troops. Liu Goat leaned over to Tang Cheng and quietly handed him two grenades. The second company, which had been wandering around the city all night, was now not short of food, and Liu Goat, a veteran ruffian with a dog's nose, had opened several shops in a row, and their backpacks in Tang Cheng were already full of food. Tang Cheng took the grenade and stuffed it into his belt, but he didn't answer Liu Goat's words, it is estimated that he exchanged these two grenades for those cookies.

The people in the second company are all groundhogs, Tang Cheng and Jiujin like to rummage through the corpses of Japanese soldiers, everything that can be used, Liu Goat likes to replace ammunition with troops who are close to the left and half of the world, and everyone in the second company fills their bullet bags with bullets as much as possible. The gun is the soldier's guts, but if there is no bullet in the gun, then his courage is definitely not a big deal, this is Liu Shanyang's original words, everyone in the second company is firmly in mind, of course, including Tang Cheng.

"Pay attention to the battle for a while, look at my gestures, when I call to retreat, you and Jiujin must follow Lao Tzu, don't dare to get lost with Lao Tzu." A hint of anger flashed in Liu Goat's eyes, and then he reached out and slapped Tang Cheng on the shoulder as if he were dusting for Tang Cheng. Liu Goat's words are a bit clueless, but Tang Cheng is not a fool, he has been following Liu Goat for so many days, and he has some accuracy on Liu Goat's temperament, Tang Cheng believes that Liu Goat's words just now are by no means untargeted, there must be some reason for Liu Goat to say what he just said.

When he turned his head again, Liu Goat had already fallen down behind the bunkers of several people, although Liu Goat did not look at Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng could see a trace of bad signs from Liu Goat's gloomy face. Tang Cheng was slightly stunned at first, and then there was an extremely complicated emotion in his heart, when the second company evacuated from Shanghai in advance that day, Xie Bo and Liu Goat were such a virtuous deed, could it be said that Liu Goat would retreat from the battlefield in advance? Or is it because Nanjing City really can't be defended?

Just as Tang Cheng was thinking wildly, the machine guns on the position fired again, and the officers began to repeat their roars, telling their soldiers to prepare to open fire. Tang Cheng pulled the bolt to load the bullet, but once again subconsciously looked at Liu Goat's side, this time he and Liu Goat came to face to face, because Liu Goat was also turning his head to look at his side. Tang Cheng was finally able to determine what Liu Goat would say just now, this veteran ruffian was probably going to come to Shanghai again, because Tang Cheng clearly saw Liu Goat's slightly red eyes.

I don't know if it can be regarded as a dog jumping over the wall, the Japanese army outside the city was temporarily suppressed by their artillery fire in the Guanghuamen position, and actually sent four tanks to kill the Guanghuamen defenders' position. The red-eyed Japanese army directly advanced the tank to the edge of the anti-tank trench in one breath, and directly used the tank's tank tank gun to suppress the defenders' positions.

As Liu Goat guessed, the Japanese army's ammunition supply could not keep up, and their artillery suppression only lasted for a few minutes before gradually weakening, and the mortars and grenadiers were much more thin. Without the artillery fire that the Japanese army relied on, what else could they have? The defenders regained their strength after the enemy's artillery fire weakened, re-reinforced their bunkers under the command of the officer, and waited for a new attack from the enemy, of course, before the defenders needed to take out the Japanese tanks that they deserved.

It was only now that Tang Cheng knew that the tragic and heroic Nationalist army would not only use death squads when dealing with Japanese tanks, but also a weapon called battle defense artillery. Xie Chengrui's second regiment had three battle defense guns, and when the Zhonghua Gate was attacked by the Japanese army, Xie Chengrui pulled two of the three battle defense guns to support the China Gate, and the remaining one was also bombed into parts by the Japanese artillery the day before yesterday, and the two battle defense guns that appeared in the position now were brought by the 87th Division.
