Prince Hirohiko Asakagumiya was now judging the many generals beside him... Today, on the last night when His Majesty the Emperor ordered to capture Nanjing, he thought that the defense of the city walls that had broken through Nanjing could barely be considered as attacking Nanjing. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army still had military strength to counterattack?

Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

At this moment, Nanjing City seemed to have an earthquake, especially countless small highlights flying in the sky outside the China Gate? What weapon is that? Many Japanese generals held telescopes and looked at the small highlights flying quickly?

With the continuous explosions outside the China Gate, Tani Shoufu staggered and almost fell to the ground! Because Tani Shoufu proudly claimed that his 36th Infantry Brigade, commanded by Major General Niujima Man, had launched a general attack on the China Gate, and it was already clear that he had opened the gate of Nanjing to capture the China Gate.

The main forces of the 47th Infantry Regiment, which is the 36th Infantry Brigade commanded by Niudaoman, are now trapped in street fighting outside the Chinese Gate. The Chinese have the habit of building houses against the city walls. This is a custom that has been continued by the Chinese people in all dynasties and different regions, just like they are leaning against big trees to enjoy the cool air. In ancient times, especially during the war, these houses were demolished and burned before the war to protect the safety of the city walls. However, in modern times, the city walls have been minimized in the face of modern three-dimensional wars, so no one will pay attention to those slums close to the city walls or moats.

But it was these slums that were like mazes that blocked the Japanese army's advance. The remnants of the two temporary brigades led by Zhang Lingfu were retreating to the slums outside the China Gate. In order to prevent the Japanese army's continuous pursuit, Zhang Lingfu ordered people to light the fire, and the remaining Chinese soldiers in the fire were fighting bloody battles.

Zhang Lingfu received an order from Zhang Xuewu, asking him to lead the guard platoon into the Zhonghua Gate immediately to report to Hao Wenbin. Zhang Lingfu was very surprised about Zhang Xuewu's order. Since the radio was connected, why didn't he issue orders directly? Why did he report to Hao Wenbin, who was preparing to counterattack in the Zhonghua Gate? Since reinforcements have arrived, why did he refuse to reinforce?

Xu Xu, a brigade of the temporary Independent First Brigade, looked at Wang Hexin, the brigade commander of the temporary Independent Second Brigade, who was also covered in smoke, and said with a dismal smile: "Commander Zhang, please obey the orders! Now at least tens of thousands of people have already attacked here. If the Zhonghua Gate counterattacked, there would be no more than ten thousand casualties to annihilate the Japanese. Even if the old army that infiltrated, there would be no three or five thousand casualties to do so?"

Zhang Lingfu was slightly stunned and immediately understood everything, saying, "This is a big counterattack in the overall situation! There are nearly 2,000 brothers here! Are you all considered abandoned sons?"

Wang Hexin took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter whether you sacrifice or not. If Songhu is going to kill the dark sky and the earth, one day will not consume the entire division's troops? It's worth changing our two thousand remaining troops to the Japanese 10,000 main force. It's really worth it. If you brothers don't survive the success, please tell me in front of Commander Zhang Xuewu that our brothers are also worthy of being a major general. At least the body is transported back to their hometown is considered to be a member of the Guangzong, right? Otherwise, if you have been a soldier for a lifetime, you will never be a general until you die, and you will have no face to see the elders of your hometown!"

Zhang Lingfu said disdainfully: "You are too underestimating me, Zhang Lingfu. We are seeking wealth and honor. The soldiers eat this bowl of rice with their heads. Who have we ever been afraid of? If the Japanese dare to come, they will let him come over. The big-time shells will not be killed, and the annoying King of Hell will not accept it."

Zhang Lingfu pulled the frequency of the Zhang Xuewu command center that was directly connected through the radio channel, and asked to live and die with his troops. If he survived with great life, he would like to thank Zhang Xuewu for his kindness and kill more Japanese soldiers to serve the country.

In Zhang Xuewu's eyes, Zhang Lingfu is indeed a powerful general, but unfortunately he is too outstanding in character and is not very good at being a human being. Such a powerful general needs a mentor who can control or endure him, otherwise it would be useless to have a thousand-mile horse.

Zhang Xuewu issued a shooting order to Liang Baohua, and the scene in front of him that Prince Hirohiko Asaka Palace and other old generals saw it.

Rows of 105 mm rockets fell into a large area of ​​houses and shops outside the China Gate. They were exploding everywhere and burning everywhere. The earth seemed to be about to collapse. Against the backdrop of the flash of the explosion, the living Chinese soldiers were still fighting desperately in many Japanese troops.

There were dead bodies everywhere, broken internal organs and broken arms everywhere. Amid the rubble, the headquarters of the 36th Brigade of the Japanese Infantry and the 47th Regiment were blown away. The first time they saw such a fierce artillery fire, especially when the shells landed on the ground, the entire earth was shocked and shaking.

Liang Baohua, who had stripped his arms, shouted and loaded the bullets after the launch. The prepared ammunition players were running and rushing to the scorch, carrying a 105mm caliber rocket shell. They shouted and filled the battlegrounds with a total of 79 kilograms into the fiery launch tube.

The so-called volley of multiple rocket launchers is actually not really launched together, but the first tube on the left side of the upper layer, and the second tube on the right side of the lower layer is launched in sequence alternately. The temperature of the fired launcher is often higher than that of Baidu. The loader will inevitably be scalded by it. However, even if it is so hot that the flesh sounds, the loaders are still shouting bare shirtlessly... and quickly loading one hundred and five millimeter high-explosive rockets into it.

Nine minutes and fifty-seven seconds! Liang Baohua looked at his watch with satisfaction and shouted: "All gun positions are ready to fire, volley!"

Another round of rocket counterattacks was overwhelmed. Niu Daoman, who had just survived the disaster, was stunned at the little bright spot fired from the city. Can he be so lucky this time? Boom! A violent explosion of a 105 mm caliber high-explosive rocket swept over more than ten meters. Niu Daoman and several staff members who tried to cover him were hit by the flying shrapnel like rag dolls, rolling out more than ten meters on the ground, and his entire body was twisted and deformed.

Looking at the small highlights that appeared again and the explosion like the sky and the earth cracked, Asakagumi Kurahiko and others knew that they must be new weapons of the Chinese army. Asakagumi Kurahiko gritted their teeth and said, "I ordered Koizumi Wenren's 11th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade to kill these new weapons of the Chinese army. Zhang Xuewu, a despicable and insidious bastard, still has such a powerful new weapon? You must kill Zhang Xuewu in Nanjing, otherwise he will become the biggest enemy of the empire."

Asakamiya Hatohiko ordered Koizumi Wen Ren's 11th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade to attack the new weapon launch position of the Chinese army in Zhonghua Gate?

Fujita Jin, the commander of the Japanese Third Division, couldn't help but frowned slightly, but seeing that some of the colleagues realized something, no one spoke? Fujita Jin also understood everything. A smart person obviously would not touch the bad intentions of Prince Hatsuhiko Asakamiya who was furious.

Although the range of the Type 38 150 mm caliber heavy howitzers equipped by the Heavy Artillery Brigade is far smaller than that of the German 32 times the caliber of the Chinese defenders, the recent continuous air strikes seem to have a great blow to the heavy artillery units of the Chinese army. Through the counterattack artillery fire on the north bank of the Chinese army, it can be found that the Chinese army used the heavy artillery troops that should have been concentrated. It is not easy to concentrate the scattered heavy artillery again in a short period of time. Therefore, Fujita Jin believes that he may be because the new weapons of the Chinese army are too tense and some plants are just soldiers.

Within a range of less than two square kilometers, the First Regiment of the Mobile Artillery completed three volleys within thirty minutes and successfully withdrew from the launching position. If the artillery experts in Rehe knew that the speed of loading with bare hands could be compared with the loader, they would be stunned and unbelievable.

You should know that although the "Hail" rocket uses a short bullet body, only 79 kilometers per shot, the filling time is strictly required. It can be said that Liang Baohua is risking the over-temperature explosion of ammunition and maintaining the filling speed that this theoretical value has never reached. It is completely luck to not have over-heat ammunition to explode. In Liang Baohua's words, fighting is life.

Many theoretical things can only exist in theory, but in fact, the excellent and brave Chinese artillery really did it, but they also paid a high price. Almost everyone had deep burns at five or seven points, and the expression on everyone's face looked very strange? I can't tell whether it was pain or happiness? Looking at the smoke and fire outside the China Gate, Liang Baohua smiled happily for the first time after entering Nanjing.

Moreover, Liang Baohua took out a badge engraved with a hail rocket launcher from his pocket and wore it on the identification badge on his left chest. This is a unique logo for the Rehe Corps. It was not worn before. The officers and soldiers of the Mobile Artillery Corps were also considered to be the logistics troops of the Rehe Corps because only their chests did not have the identification symbols of the Army.

The Mobile Artillery Regiment landed 3,456 105mm high-explosive rockets within a range of two square kilometers within 30 minutes. Zhang Lingfu's more than 2,000 officers and soldiers survived. Zhang Lingfu, who was stunned and fell into a dry well, was carried by his subordinates to retreat to the Zhonghua Gate. Both of them sacrificed their lives for the country and became heroic.

The losses of the Japanese army cannot be counted for the time being, but in such a dense and narrow area, the Japanese army invested three infantry regiments to try to swallow Zhang Lingfu's battle headquarters in one bite and occupy the Zhonghua Gate in one fell swoop. It can be seen that the Japanese army's tactical ambitions are so great, but Niujima Mitsuki, who is good at implementing precise tactical attacks, also completely miscalculated this time.

In Niujima Man's military career, this was the first time he had completely miscalculated. I'm afraid even Niujima Man himself would not have expected it. Just this miscalculation made him lose his life? He was very careful and had his last move, and the last move was wiped out. This is the most appropriate portrayal of Niujima Man.

It can be said that the 36th Infantry Brigade and the 47th Infantry Regiment of the Old Army were counterattacked by sudden and fierce firepower. The fire outside the Zhonghua Gate made Qiu Qingquan look extremely excited. Hao Wenbin was also very excited, because the fierce firepower of the Mobile Artillery Regiment covered all three Japanese infantry regiments.

In such a narrow area, the Chinese and Japanese armies were entangled with each other. At this time, the artillery was always the patent of the old man. But what made Niudao unexpected was that the Chinese army launched a violent shelling like a huge crowd. Such dense firepower made the troops within its range without any reaction. There were explosions everywhere, and shrapnel flying everywhere, and some were only fragmented corpses.

Hao Wenbin took the opportunity to immediately cooperate with Qiu Qingquan's armored assault group to attack from Xishuimen, Zhonghuamen and Guanghuamen along the lines to the Japanese troops facing each other.

The various units of the Bengcong Station were in chaos, and the 18th Division, which supported the 6th Division's interspers, gathered hundreds of defeated soldiers from the 6th Division half an hour after the shelling. A chef grabbed an officer of the 18th Division in horror and said anxiously: "Hurry up! Hurry up! The gang flag of the 45th Infantry Regiment was lost in the Chinese army's shelling!"

When the news was reported to Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya, the acting commander of the Nakabra Expeditionary Army, ten minutes later, what was lost was not only the corps flag of the 45th Infantry Regiment, but also the corps flag of the 23rd Infantry Regiment belonging to the 36th Infantry Brigade.

Asakamiya Hatohiko, who was shocked, had already shivered with coldness. He also knew that any situation could happen on the battlefield with chaotic battles on the front line. It was understandable that Niujima Manta concentrated his entire brigade to conduct continuous attacks and seek breakthroughs, but he encountered a new weapon from the Chinese army?

Once again, the 11th Infantry Brigade of the Sixth Division had been counterattacked by the Chinese Rehe Army Corps and almost lost the corps flag. Thanks to the timely burning, this time it was the Sixth Division again? And it was lost to two sides? Does this damn old bastard want to kill himself?

Is the Sixth Division addicted to attacking military flags? Why is the Sixth Division that throws military flags? This damn bad luck division, Asakamiya Hirohiko, who is already hated the Sixth Division at this moment. When I recalled that Tani Shoufu had caused trouble for him in the incident where the 16th Division broke through the key point of Niu Shou Mountain on the outer line of the Nanjing city wall, Asakamiya Hirohiko was immediately furious.

However, what made Asakaguami Hirohiko still feel scared was that thanks to the flag of the 47th Infantry Regiment had been burned before, there would be no military flag to be lost. If three military flags were lost at once, it would be really lively. Asakaguami Hirohiko was very glad that the 47th Infantry Regiment had no military flag to be lost. Soon, Asakaguami Hirohiko also discovered that his requirements seemed to be too low, right?

What Asakamiya Hirohiko is very clear about is that if the military flag is lost, then he, Asakamiya Hirohiko, will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Imperial Japanese Army forever. How could this happen? Asakamiya Hirohiko warned Tani Shouo if the military flag is lost, then please break yourself and apologize!

Tansuo Tan, who had no troops to be dispatched, quietly left the command center. Tansuo Tansuo's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness alone. One lost four corps flags in less than forty days, two of which were burned, and both sides were still unknown? If the lost military flag was seized by the Chinese army, Tansuo Tansuo could only choose one way to apologize.

Although the 6th Division lost the military flag, the 6th Division was related to the honor of the entire Imperial Japanese Army. The overall honor of the Imperial Japanese Army was placed on this gang flag. Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya immediately ordered that the 6th Division, Nakajima Sadao's troops, who originally supported the 6th Division to intersect and protect its flanks, immediately dispatched the 55th Infantry Regiment and the 56th Infantry Regiment under Major General Ueno Kamepu, the 11th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Second Warriors, to carry out counterattacks to the Chinese army that was fighting against the front line of the China Gate, and be sure to find the two gang flags lost in the fierce artillery fire.

Faced with the counterattack of the Chinese army from the direction of Zhonghua Gate, Colonel No Tomokakutaku, the commander of the 55th Infantry Regiment, and Sandra Fujiyama, the commander of the 56th Infantry Regiment, could only lead the troops to cooperate with the first and second brigades of the Second Regiment of the chariots, and were no longer so shocked that the Sixth Division lost its military flag again, but they also understood that this time, unlike the 11th Infantry Brigade, which was attacked by the elite troops of the Chinese Army Rehe Legion.

At that time, the flag guard squadron had enough time to burn the military flag and destroy the flagpole, burying Fengjie. The reason for this danger was that the two infantry corpses and the infantry 47th Regiment of the 36th Infantry Brigade outside the China Gate were attacked with unprecedented artillery fire. If the flag guard squadron was not lucky, the first round of artillery fire was knocked out, then the possibility of the corps flag being lost or even captured by the Chinese army was very high.

The order was issued directly by the Nakabian Expeditionary Army Headquarters to the 55th Infantry Regiment and the 56th Infantry Regiment. Major General Noguchibu, the brigade leader of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, and Sadao Nakajima, the commander of the 18th Division, were completely unaware of it. As the battle was fought, the two infantry regiments on his side were silently transferred away?

As a result, the 18th Division's attack showed a serious imbalance, and the Chinese defender counterattack troops seized the opportunity to split and raid it. The Chinese army's sudden counterattack made Sadao Nakajima in a panic.
Chapter completed!
