The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 189 December 11th Fierce Battle
At the same time, the Honinbo Haruo Detachment also received special attention from Lieutenant General Tani Hisao, commander of the 6th Division. He specially concentrated all twelve of the division's tanks here for use.
Battalion Commander Honinbo Haruo looked at his soldiers, steadily advancing behind the tanks towards the forward defense positions, his heart filled with excitement.
The various city gates into Nanjing were now tightly sealed with sandbags by the defending soldiers.
It was not easy to break through the city gates and rush in, but the defenders never expected that the Honinbo Haruo Detachment would directly rush into the city through the collapsed city walls.
The heavy artillery bombardment just now had already collapsed a large section of the city wall in this direction. Battalion Commander Honinbo Haruo also intentionally concentrated all the field guns and mortars of the entire detachment to continuously bombard that section of the city wall.
The purpose was to blast a slope on the entire section of the city wall that would allow the tanks to rush up, so that the tank squadron could cover his infantry and rush into the city in one go.
The three squads of the Special Operations Company now also intentionally wanted to use this slope, which had just been carefully blasted by the Japanese devils, as a channel for counterattack.
After Lin Fan arranged the counterattack orders, he ordered two 88mm anti-aircraft guns to be brought to the top of the city wall.
He wanted to personally lead the three squads in this counterattack.
As soon as the Special Operations Company's anti-aircraft guns were on the city wall, scattered Japanese infantry were sparsely distributed within less than 300 meters ahead.
At a distance of 800 meters, a tank squadron was rushing towards this direction.
Lin Fan ordered: "The artillery will take out the Japanese tanks. Squads One, Two, and Three, rush out of the city to clear out the scattered Japanese devils."
Chen Sichuan, Liu Laopao, and Jia Shusheng immediately led the soldiers of the three squads and rushed down the slope.
Leading the tank squadron to attack Yuhuatai was Company Commander Kuni Mata Takuma. When the entire squadron gathered this morning, he received the latest notice: "For all teams attacking Nanjing City, after capturing Nanjing City, military discipline will not be enforced for seven days."
What this notice meant was clear to all the soldiers.
This was allowing them to loot in Nanjing City! Seven days—just thinking about it made all the soldiers excited.
Company Commander Kuni Mata Takuma shouted in his heart: "In seven days, I can move a yarn factory back from Nanjing."
In his childhood dreams, he had always wanted to open a yarn factory and weave the thinnest and most transparent cloth.
To dress his favorite daughter, Aiko.
That scene must be extremely beautiful!
He didn't know if anyone else had such thoughts, but from the faces of every soldier, he could see the yearning in their hearts.
Everyone's ideals were different, but one thing was the same: to rush into Nanjing City as soon as possible and start the carnival.
Company Commander Kuni Mata Takuma had been paying attention to the situation ahead. When he saw a section of the city wall at Yuhuatai collapse,
he suggested to the regimental commander to strengthen the bombardment in that direction, blast out a slope, build a road, and he would be able to lead the tank squadron into Nanjing City.
Now that the road had been paved, the avenue ahead was shining with gold!
This was the road to his ideal! Although at the end of this road there was already a team of defending soldiers, also pushing carts and rushing out of the city.
Kuni Mata Takuma smiled calmly and issued an order in the tank: "Bombard them once to let them know the consequences of offending the Kuni Mata Takuma Squadron."
The appearance of a team of ants on the advancing road of his squadron made the ambitious Kuni Mata Takuma Squadron very unhappy.
He wanted to teach those ants a lesson.
All twelve tanks of the entire Kuni Mata Takuma Squadron stopped, moved their turrets, and began to aim.
It was very easy to hit a fixed target at a distance of 800 meters with a 75mm tank gun.
Kuni Mata Takuma had a 70% chance of hitting the target first.
Lin Fan personally operated the anti-aircraft gun, aimed at the tanks that were stopped in place and aimed at the collapsed section, and fired.
The 88mm anti-aircraft gun fired high-explosive shells continuously and quickly, flying towards the Japanese tanks in the distance.
The distance of 800 meters arrived in the blink of an eye!
Before Company Commander Kuni Mata Takuma's tank gun could fire, it was first greeted by the bombardment of shells from the side.
The thin-skinned tank he was driving simply could not withstand the attack of 88mm high-explosive shells.
Just one shell made the entire tank bloom.
That wasn't the end; the shells stored inside the tank were also detonated by the violent explosion.
This caused great damage to the officers and soldiers of the Honinbo Haruo Detachment around the tank.
These infantrymen, who were hiding around the tanks to make their protection stronger,
suffered an unwarranted disaster when the city gate caught fire, harming the fish in the moat.
Continuous strikes arrived one after another. Lin Fan didn't stop after hitting one tank.
His strikes were continuous. When the last few tanks in the twelve tanks realized that the situation was not right,
they frantically wanted to escape, but they were originally stopped and stationary, preparing to fire, and now suddenly started to escape, wanting to escape the speed of the anti-aircraft gun, but the speed was much slower.
The anti-aircraft gun could fire twenty shells per minute, and Lin Fan fired twelve shells in less than a minute.
The shells were evenly distributed to the twelve tanks.
Battalion Commander Honinbo Haruo watched as the tank squadron in front exploded one after another.
Small explosions converged together, finally converging into a large mushroom cloud.
A black mushroom with a thin foot and a large top rose from the Japanese devils' attacking road in front of Yuhuatai.
It was very obvious, and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Wu Xiaobao's face showed a look of heartache as he watched the company commander blow up a Japanese tank with one shot: "What a pity! What a pity."
"What's the pity?" Ji Wudi asked, puzzled.
"It's a pity that we can't capture it and use it ourselves!" Wu Xiaobao looked at Ji Wudi with an expression that said, "You're so stupid."
There was one sentence he didn't dare to say: "Long hair, short wits!"
Ji Wudi rolled his eyes at him: "At this time, can we still care about so much?"
Looking at the Japanese tanks opposite, one after another, like firecrackers being set off during a happy event, the continuous explosions sounded.
There was no joy on Wu Xiaobao's face. He followed Lin Fan and was deeply influenced by Lin Fan's thoughts.
He always felt that the good things he saw should all belong to him.
If they were damaged, it was like damaging his own things.
When Hui Jianming commanded the heavy artillery squad to start bombarding the Japanese heavy artillery positions,
Fujiwara Yu was in the courtyard where they were resting, looking at the sky.
His eyes looked towards the direction of the explosion, and he immediately spotted the observation balloon rising in the air.
Fujiwara Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: he knew from Ma Shouxin that there was a team that counterattacked Nanzha Town overnight.
They robbed an Imperial heavy artillery battalion.
Now he had finally found this team: it was this team.
It was the team that he had been wholeheartedly wanting to find.
Thinking about this team's battle record: bombing two Imperial airfields, robbing an Imperial heavy artillery battalion.
Without thinking, without hesitation.
Battalion Commander Fujiwara Yu immediately issued an order: "Everyone gather! Prepare to move out."
The only equipment that this team now had were Nationalist Army's Zhongzheng rifles, one water-cooled heavy machine gun, one light machine gun, and three mortars.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford better equipment, but in order to disguise themselves as the real thing, they couldn't help but do this.
Even in this state, it was already considered the equipment of the main force of the Nationalist Army.
After all, the three hundred men he now commanded were only a battalion-level unit of the Nationalist Army.
Fujiwara Yu didn't just rush forward rashly. He had many friends here.
With a call, a team of people immediately rushed in.
These people were under his orders: they were not allowed to enter the backyard without a summons. But they had to be ready to be summoned at any time.
Seeing the nine people who rushed in at once, Fujiwara Yu was still quite satisfied.
However, he couldn't give these lackeys a good look, otherwise they would easily take an inch after being given a foot.
Fujiwara Yu pointed solemnly at the big balloon in the sky: "We are going there.
You lead the way."
Song Hongjun quickly smiled ingratiatingly: "Don't worry, Sir. There's nothing I don't know about in the entire Nanjing City.
I'll lead the way right away."
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and left.
Seeing such a good opportunity to perform being snatched away by him, Ran Lecheng, Meng Hongfang, and several other people were not happy.
Meng Hongfang immediately said: "Sir! My home is near there. I know that place. It's a big military camp.
A team just moved in a few days ago. This morning, they were still practicing bayonet drills.
The sounds of those soldiers shouting were very annoying.
It made it impossible to sleep!
If you want to go there, Sir, I can take a shortcut.
But they have sentries outside."
Fujiwara Yu smiled at Meng Hongfang with satisfaction: "You are familiar with the situation, so you must know a place next to that garrison where we can hide."
Meng Hongfang only thought for a moment: "Next to that garrison, there is a Kaiyuan Temple. The temple is very large, and it is no problem to hide hundreds of people.
But there are a dozen monks inside, which are not easy to deal with.
But the location is definitely the best.
It's less than 300 meters away from that garrison."
Fujiwara Yu was even more satisfied now: "You are a very good man." He took out a banknote from his bag at random.
"This is a reward for you!"
Meng Hongfang, who had obtained the power of money, had a radiant face, and thousands of heroic sentiments surged in his heart. He felt that this was the most glorious moment in his life.
These people knew that the person in front of them was a member of the Japanese nobility.
Being able to earn a banknote from him was a great honor.
Meng Hongfang quickly said: "Thank you for the reward, Sir. I will definitely frame this banknote and pass it down to my descendants."
Fujiwara Yu was extremely satisfied.
He laughed loudly: "Let's go!"
The Zijin Mountain position defended by the Central Training Corps had been severely bombed by the Japanese devils with planes and artillery, resulting in heavy casualties.
They had to retreat!
When the Special Operations Company launched an attack yesterday, breaking out from Baishui Bridge, although there was no time to recover Qilin Gate, they did manage to recapture Baishui Bridge.
Today, Baishui Bridge was once again met with a more fierce attack from the Japanese devils. Today, the Japanese devils' attack was even more fierce.
The 56th Regiment of the 18th Division, which attacked here yesterday, suffered heavy casualties and had been replaced today.
The 114th Regiment, which had just joined the attack formation, had suffered a heavy blow in Jiaxing.
After urgently replenishing personnel from the country, the 18th Division replenished nearly 6,000 replacement soldiers before regaining its strength.
Unfortunately, Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadaharu, commander of the division, had bad luck. He encountered the Sichuan Army again in Si'an and Guangde and was massacred by them. The entire division was reduced by another 5,000 people.
These personnel had not yet had time to be replenished.
The 18th Division had encountered teams with extremely poor equipment and particularly brave and daring soldiers twice in a row before this.
The first time they encountered the Gan Army of Gu Jiaqi's 128th Division, and the second time they encountered Liu Xiang's Sichuan Army.
Especially the second time, in the battle of Si'an, the Sichuan Army directly beat his division so badly that Commander Matsui Iwane almost revoked its designation.
Now the entire 18th Division, from top to bottom, was holding back a surge of energy. They wanted to perform well in the attack on Nanjing.
To show the true strength of the 18th Division.
Unfortunately, their luck was bad again. This time they encountered the most elite Central Training Corps of the Nationalist Army.
Although yesterday, the 18th Division, relying on firepower and the cover of the aviation squadron, drove the Central Training Corps out of Zijin Mountain.
In the afternoon, they were severely beaten by the Special Operations Company at Baishui Bridge.
They lost another infantry battalion of over a thousand people.
Today, Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadaharu replaced the 114th Regiment, which had been resting these days, wanting to let this well-rested regiment open up the situation.
The newly appointed 114th Regiment Commander, Colonel Gomyo Yosuke, was commanding three infantry battalions to attack less than 800 meters in front of the Central Training Corps' 5th Regiment position.
Battalion Commander Dozono Tsunemyo personally led the entire battalion of soldiers to attack the Baishui Bridge position.
Rushing to the front was the Kojikai Keigo Squad.
Squad Leader Kojikai Keigo was a well-known figure in the entire division. He had won three first places in the entire division's military competition.
His squad had also become the most elite squad in the entire division.
Now it was the Kojikai Keigo Squad rushing to the front, and the firepower of the entire 114th Regiment was covering the squad's advance.
Squad Leader Kojikai Keigo shouted loudly: "Mizufuji Sakai Masaya, you take a team from the right, and I'll go from the left.
We will attack from two directions."
Sergeant Mizufuji Sakai Masaya immediately led more than twenty people, separated by a distance of a dozen meters, and used the surrounding terrain to leap forward towards the opposite defense line.
They only needed to rush into the defenders' position and hold on for one minute, and the large troops that followed would be able to connect.
Then the defense line here would be considered broken.
In order to achieve this goal, Sergeant Mizufuji Sakai Masaya really risked his life.
The soldiers behind him were also risking their lives: the regimental commander had promised that if these soldiers were martyred in the attack on Nanjing, the entire regiment would take out 30% of all the spoils obtained after entering Nanjing City as a pension for these dead soldiers.
At least no less than 30,000 yuan.
This was a large sum. Now these soldiers no longer cared about life and death.
It was good to be alive and be able to loot in the city in person, and it was also good to die and earn 30,000 yuan while lying down.
30,000 yuan was enough for the family to live a good life.
Private Mizufuji Sakai Masaya thought so.
He carried a Type 38 rifle and rushed to the front of the team.
He didn't care at all about the bullets fired by the defenders in front of him, and just rushed forward.
He wasn't hit, but Sergeant Matsugaki Yuta, who was behind him, was shot and fell to the ground.
Now was not the time to stop and bandage Matsugaki Yuta. Not even one person in the entire squad stopped.
All the soldiers continued to charge forward.
The machine gun on the opposite side started firing again. This was another newly emerged firepower point.
The rain of bullets swept out by the machine gun caused three soldiers of the Kojikai Keigo Squad to fall down at once.
Squad Leader Kojikai Keigo had to stop and order the grenade launcher in his squad: "Blow up that machine gun firepower point."
Sergeant Kodo Hideki agreed and immediately squatted down. He just glanced at it lightly and fired the grenade launcher.
One shot was fired and exploded around the firepower point, and the machine gun stopped at once.
Sergeant Kodo Hideki was already a veteran of fourteen years.
He was good at firing grenade launchers and was almost 100% accurate.
The grenade launcher was the most difficult of all weapons to fire. It was entirely based on experience, and the accuracy was about the same as throwing a grenade.
But Sergeant Kodo Hideki was able to hit the target accurately.
Squad Leader Kojikai Keigo ordered the team to continue charging. Just as his team had just started charging,
another machine gun firepower point on the opposite side opened fire.
This time, several more warriors were shot and fell down, which made Squad Leader Kojikai Keigo very angry:
The defenders on the opposite side were now also cunning. They no longer exposed all the firepower points at once.
Instead, they only used one or two firepower points at a time, which made it difficult for the direct-fire artillery behind to hit them.
Squad Leader Kojikai Keigo's predicament was good news for Regiment Commander Deng Wenxi of the 5th Regiment.
Just now, he only let all the machine gunners change positions after firing one magazine in one place.
This was guerrilla warfare!
Regiment Commander Deng was proud of his new invention.
However, the real gap in firepower on the front line could only slightly slow down the casualties of his regiment.
The bombardment of the 18th Division's seven Type 92 infantry guns caused great casualties to the officers and soldiers of the 5th Regiment.
These artillery pieces caused great damage to the 5th Regiment: the 5th Regiment's heavy machine guns would be bombed by these Japanese guns in less than five minutes after firing.
He couldn't change the position of these heavy machine guns every three or five minutes.
This made Regiment Commander Deng Wenxi very helpless. There were also several mountain guns in his team.
But now they had all been destroyed by the Japanese devils, and only a few mortars could be used.
Until now, these guns were completely unable to suppress the firepower of the Japanese devils.
Moreover, 300 meters in front of his position, the Japanese devils had added two new heavy machine gun firepower points, suppressing the soldiers on his side so that they couldn't lift their heads.
He couldn't help but think of that team yesterday. The weapons and equipment of his team were about the same as theirs.
How could they fight so easily?
While Regiment Commander Deng was thinking about Lin Fan, Lin Fan was on the city wall of Yuhuatai, watching Chen Sichuan and the others clean up the battlefield in front.
Just now, after he blew up the Japanese devils' armored vehicles with the anti-aircraft gun, he also pinpointed and cleared out a dozen Japanese machine gun firepower points hiding behind the ruins.
This immediately opened up the situation in front of their section of the city wall.
Chen Sichuan, Liu Laopao, Jia Shusheng, and their three squads of more than 500 people took this opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Japanese devils who had completely lost heavy firepower support.
In just one wave, they drove the Japanese devils here back more than a thousand meters.
Now they were cleaning up the battlefield.
When Sun Yuanliang led more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the 262nd Brigade back to Yuhuatai from Yijiang Gate again,
this was the scene they saw!
When they were walking a little farther away, Division Commander Sun was still drumming in his heart, because there were intense gunfire sounds on the left and right of his defense line.
This could prove that the positions were still in the hands of his own people and were still engaged in fierce fighting.
Only his defense line, this section of Yuhuatai, was silent.
At that time, Division Commander Sun was thinking: "Could it be that the more than 1,000 people of the Special Operations Company were dispersed by the Japanese devils so quickly?
Did the Japanese devils already occupy their positions?"
Division Commander Sun's head went numb: if he lost Yuhuatai because he led his men to leave the position without permission,
the blame for the loss of Nanjing this time would probably be placed on his shoulders.
When he led his team around the corner and saw the Special Operations Company's vehicles parked well inside the city wall, and the Special Operations Company soldiers who were still squatting on the ground cleaning their guns,
he couldn't help but feel relieved!
When he led his team back to Yuhuatai and saw that the soldiers of the Special Operations Company were actually cleaning up the battlefield outside the city,
he couldn't help but be startled: he never expected that there would be no war here!
"Why did the Japanese devils retreat?"
"We beat them a little too hard!" Lin Fan immediately replied.
He pointed into the distance and said, "After the Japanese devils' tanks were blown up by us, the Japanese devils in that place also suffered heavy casualties.
Then they never sent anyone over again.
But those Japanese devils went to the riverside."
The riverside was the Zhonghua Gate and the Shuixi Gate.
Those two places were also Sun Yuanliang's defense line.
He thought about it: "We will guard here, you take people to support Zhonghua Gate."
During the time Sun Yuanliang left this section, the 88th Division officers and soldiers' position at Zhonghua Gate was in urgent condition, and they were almost rushed into by the Japanese devils several times.
The Nanjing Garrison Headquarters could not contact him, so they could only order the 103rd Division, which had just retreated from Jiangyin, to go to Zhonghua Gate for support.
The 103rd Division also suffered heavy casualties in Jiangyin. Although it was called a division, in reality, there were only more than 1,000 people when they returned to Nanjing from Jiangyin, which was just the strength of a regiment.
As soon as they arrived in Nanjing, 3,000 people were immediately replenished to his division.
This made Dai Zhiqi excited for a while at first, but when these new recruits entered the camp,
he realized that the soldiers replenished this time were all ordinary people who had never seen a gun before.
In order to strictly control the security of the entire society, the Nanjing government strictly prohibited ordinary people from owning guns.
Although in the more than 20 years since the establishment of the Nanjing government, his decrees could only be implemented in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas,
in the places where his decrees could have an impact, ordinary people not only couldn't own guns, but they couldn't even see them.
Not to mention training.
Now, suddenly recruiting a group of people from among these people, these people had never even seen a gun, so how could they fight?
Dai Zhiqi had a headache: if he could be given a month, he could also disband all these personnel and assign them down, with one veteran leading three new recruits to train them.
But now they were about to go to the battlefield immediately, and these new recruits mixed into the veteran team would instead reduce the combat effectiveness of the veteran team.
Therefore, he had to directly organize these 3,000 people into two regiments, and only assigned experienced veterans to these two regiments as company, platoon, and squad leaders.
Only 300 new recruits who looked more clever were assigned to the 618th Regiment, which had many veterans.
They were asked to help the veterans load ammunition and organize equipment.
He received Commander Tang's order. At this time, the two new recruit regiments were completely useless.
The only team that could fight was Wan Shi Tung's team.
After receiving the mission, Division Commander Dai Zhiqi ordered Regiment Commander Wan Shi Tung to take his 618th Regiment to Zhonghua Gate for support.
These days, he knew that Lin Fan and his Special Operations Company had also arrived in Nanjing, but he didn't have any spare time at all.
He spent every day in the military camp, training the 300 soldiers who had just been assigned.
At least these soldiers should be able to fire a gun! At this time, he was secretly complaining that Chang Kaishen was too stupid: the population of a Nationalist Army was the Nationalist Army's potential soldiers.
As a result, he actually raised these people like pigs, neither allowing them to own guns nor organizing ordinary people for military training.
Now, when the Japanese devils invaded, they were immediately dumbfounded.
If the 400 million people had all received military training, or were allowed to own guns, there would be 400 million soldiers, and the Japanese devils would not dare to invade no matter how bold they were.
No matter what, it wouldn't be like it was now. Three thousand new recruits were recruited, but they were completely useless.
Thinking like this, Wan Shi Tung led his 1,500 soldiers to the battlefield.
On the Zhonghua Gate defense line, the 88th Division already had Japanese devils rushing into the city.
Wan Shi Tung's head exploded at that time: "Charge up! Drive them back!"
Battalion Commander Che Yuze of the 453rd Regiment of the 88th Division, who was still trying to plug the gap on the city wall, was commanding his soldiers to plug the gap that had just been broken through by the Japanese devils.
However, the Japanese devils put too much pressure on the city wall, and he had to use most of his energy to defend the city wall.
He could only temporarily send a company to compete for the dozens of meters of defense line that had been broken through by the Japanese devils in the middle.
When he saw a team suddenly rushing out of the city, he finally felt relieved.
No matter what, the reinforcements arrived in time. Looking at the team of at least a thousand people,
no matter what, they could deal with these hundred or so Japanese devils! Regiment Commander Che Yuze was too optimistic.
The team that rushed into the city was a company from the 1st Battalion of the 36th Regiment of the Japanese devils.
Battalion Commander Sakako Kai saw that the Toma Rei Company had rushed into Nanjing City and was greatly encouraged.
Even Regimental Commander Sakashita Jiro was excited.
He loudly ordered: "All teams! Immediately charge towards the middle section."
He wanted to use the human wave tactic to stabilize this gap. Even if his regiment was sacrificed, he could not waste this gap.
At the same time, he also reported to Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, commander of the division, that a company of his regiment had rushed into Nanjing City.
This news made Division Commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke overjoyed. Just now, he was still sad that his division had lost a battalion in front of Yuhuatai.
What made him most angry was that the defenders of Yuhuatai were so fierce that his team could only temporarily avoid them and could not be the first to rush into Nanjing City.
He didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly!
Division Commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke ordered: "At all costs, at all casualties, we must defend that gap. The division will immediately send people to support."
With the order from the division commander, Regimental Commander Sakashita Jiro immediately ordered the other two battalions under his command to withdraw from Shuixi Gate and support this place.
Now he wanted to concentrate all the strength of the entire regiment to drill a hole in the hard shell of Nanjing City.
Then wait for the other teams sent by the division commander to drill this hole together until the entire Nanjing City was occupied.
Wan Shi Tung rushed to the front. He had seen the momentum of the Special Operations Company when they fought for the mountain with the Japanese devils a few days ago.
No matter what the enemy was like, at least the momentum could not be lost.
Not to mention that his regiment now had more than 1,000 people, while the Japanese devils only had more than 100 people.
Regiment Commander Wan was a martial arts practitioner. Before joining the army, he had practiced martial arts for many years.
Now he rushed into the middle of the Japanese devils' team and swept his rifle, and a force was transmitted, sweeping away a large group of Japanese devils.
Then he stabbed a Japanese devil in the middle with one shot.
Thrust in and pull back immediately!
Only the chest of that Japanese devil had an extra blood hole!
He stepped down and stabbed another Japanese devil with one thrust and one pull back again!
Another blood hole.
He killed one person every step he took here, scaring the original seven Japanese devils who were now only five left and scattered.
They no longer dared to fight him.
However, these Japanese devils were completely surrounded, and they had no way to retreat.
The soldiers of the 618th Regiment, who had been in the army for ten years, suddenly gained courage.
Especially the new recruits saw: so the Japanese devils were so weak! The regimental commander killed one every step he took. After walking hundreds of steps, all the Japanese devils here were killed by him.
The new recruits shouted and bravely rushed towards the Japanese devils in front.
At this moment, hundreds of Japanese devils rushed down from the city wall!
These Japanese devils rushed down and stopped these new recruits who had nothing but some courage attracted from the regimental commander just now.
These Japanese devils rushed up and stabbed with their guns without saying a word.
Now these new recruits didn't feel the pleasure of killing one person every step they took.
They felt the pain of being killed by the Japanese devils every step they took!
Wan Shi Tung watched as the Japanese devils continued to descend from the city wall, and more than 300 Japanese devils had rushed down in a short while.
If he hadn't seen the Nationalist Army still defending the two ends of the city wall, he would have thought that this section of the city wall had been broken through by the Japanese devils.
Regiment Commander Che Yuze of the 543rd Regiment on the city wall was so anxious that he wanted to jump down from the city wall.
Now even if he defended this long section of the city wall, it would be useless! If a section of the city wall was broken, the entire iron bucket-like Nanjing City would be completely broken.
At this moment, a team drove over from a distance.
This was a motorcade with a machine gun at the front.
Lin Fan operated the machine gun to seal off the position where the Japanese devils were descending from the city wall.
The bullets of the machine gun were not big, only 20 mm, but its warhead was the same as the artillery shells and could explode.
He drove this car forward, and another heavy machine gun on the car was also strafing the Japanese devils on the city wall.
Of course, these two machine guns alone could not seal off the Japanese devils who had already turned red-eyed.
Those Japanese devils continued to charge down the city wall.
At the same time, they also set up machine guns on the city wall and began to fight back.
In the motorcade behind Lin Fan, at least five cars entered the section that could block the Japanese devils from descending from the city wall.
Finally, the source of the Japanese devils rushing down was blocked.
The remaining cars of the Special Operations Company drove straight into the chaotic battlefield where bayonets were being fought.
The soldiers of the Special Operations Company didn't have time to get out of the car, and started strafing with machine guns in the car.
When the heavy machine gun with armor in the car started strafing, the infantry had already jumped down from the top of the car.
The bayonet in their hands came down from a high place with the sound of the wind.
The soldiers of the Special Operations Company, like tigers descending the mountain, shocked both sides fighting in the Zhonghua Gate city wall.
Wan Shi Tung had seen the Special Operations Company training in the defense area every day when he was in the Jiangyin defense area.
He had already recognized that they were them.
Now, seeing their way of playing, he couldn't help but envy: "The way they play is so cool."
Company Commander Toma Rei was originally full of confidence to lead the team to fight with the defenders in the city! Although there were many defenders who came to support, there were also many teams behind the Toma Rei Company.
And they were still rushing in constantly.
This gave all the soldiers of the Toma Rei Company great confidence.
They were only shocked for a while by the fact that Wan Shi Tung killed one every step he took when he appeared.
Later, these Japanese devils were so attracted by the promise of looting in the city for seven days that they completely forgot their fear. Now they just wanted to drive away these obstructive defenders.
When another team rushed over in the city, it was a cunning team.
They first blocked the source of the descent from the city wall.
In this way, the Japanese devils who had already entered Nanjing City would not increase any more.
Looking at the team of at least 500 Japanese devils around,
Company Commander Toma Rei was also a little relieved: half a battalion of Imperial warriors were not afraid of any team at all.
What's more, he could also see that there were still people on the city wall where his team was defending, firing at these defenders in the city.
At least it showed that the teams outside the city were still pouring onto the city wall.
Battalion Commander Sakako Kai, who was already standing on the city wall, watched his team like a poisonous snake whose spine had been broken.
Half of them were in Nanjing City, and half were on the city wall.
The more than 500 warriors who had already entered the city were rapidly decreasing in number under the suppression of more than 2,000 Nationalist soldiers.
At this time, Lin Fan had already ordered: "Chen Sichuan and Liu Laopao, take back the city wall."
After giving the order, Lin Fan had already put down his machine gun and picked up his mortar.
Direct-fire weapons were not easy to use against the Japanese devils on the city wall.
It was still the curved-fire weapon like the mortar that could bombard the entire city wall.
Now the density of the Japanese devils on the city wall was very high! More than 500 Japanese devils were crowded on a narrow city wall.
On both sides of them, there were officers and soldiers of the 543rd Regiment who were desperately intercepting.
Facing Nanjing City, there was another team of soldiers who were attacking upwards.
They only had one way: to retreat! In this situation, letting Battalion Commander Sakako Kai retreat down the city wall was worse than letting him die.
He would rather die on the city wall than take a step back.
So he died!
Battalion Commander Sakako Kai died under the mortar bombardment of the Special Operations Company.
The Special Operations Company had a total of 47 mortars. Although two squads were not here, there were still 36 mortars.
These guns were all concentrated and bombarded the city wall. For a time, the city wall, which was less than 50 meters long and less than 20 meters wide, was covered and bombarded several times back and forth.
