Chapter 073 The Great Wall of Flesh
Zhonghuamen city wall position.
At dawn, the Japanese from the 6th Division launched an attack on the 108th Regiment's position.
Amidst a burst of rumbling artillery, 12 tanks and a regiment of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the defensive position of Zhonghua Gate.
From the lens of the telescope, we can clearly see that the compound position of Zhonghua Gate is in a mess, and the three gaps in the Ming city wall are suddenly reflected in the eyes of the commander of the Sixth Division.
The wall of Zhonghua Gate is so strong that even ordinary mountain cannons can't do anything to it.
But no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be blown out by large-caliber heavy artillery.
A sneer broke out on his face, and there was a hint of ecstasy in the voice of the commander of the Sixth Division: "Haha, no matter how tall and solid the city wall is, it can't withstand the empire's heavy artillery! Charge them all!"
The major standing aside said: "In today's battle, we will definitely win the Zhonghua Gate in one fell swoop. Our Sixth Division will be the first unit to plant the Imperial Rising Sun Flag on the Nanjing Tower!"
Nodding, Commander Tani Hisao Division sighed solemnly: "It's a pity that the Shikada team was completely annihilated by the Chinese army last night! This team is the fist force of my Sixth Division. I didn't expect that all of them were shattered last night."
Already."
The major said: "Today we can avenge this team. Shikada-kun and the fifty-three warriors will not sacrifice their lives in vain! Instead, it will inspire our troops to fight more bravely!"
The commander of the Hisao Tani Division shouted in a low voice: "Yoshi! Tell Colonel Yokokawa of the 47th Regiment that the first one to rush to the Chinese Gate Tower will be promoted to three levels in a row!"
The two feet suddenly moved together, and the major shouted in response: "Yes!"
At this moment, standing on the Chinese Tower, looking far into the distance, black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
A tense war atmosphere spread among the soldiers of the 108th Regiment.
Staring at the large group of Japanese soldiers in khaki military uniforms, the soldiers of the 108th Regiment tried their best to control their breathing.
Lowering the telescope in front of his eyes, Liang Shanhao shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, be careful to stay hidden, wait until the little Japs are within shooting range before setting fire!"
Battalion Commander Liu lowered his voice and shouted: "Report to the group, the gasoline for the three gaps is ready!"
Nodding slightly, Liang Shanhao responded: "Okay! When the Japanese come up, they will be burned to death by me, but you have to be careful! Don't burn yourself too!"
Battalion Commander Liu shouted in response: "Don't worry! We cherish our lives!"
At this time, Battalion Commander Xiong shouted: "Team Leader, according to your order, the 12 cluster grenade launchers in Neon City are ready!"
The 108th Regiment has insufficient mortars and must increase its support firepower. Because the artillery section of the system fire needs maintenance, Liang Shanhao is temporarily unable to purchase mortars.
In desperation, Liang Shanhao ordered the engineer platoon to rush to build a cluster grenade launcher overnight to ensure the fire support of the 108th Regiment.
The platoon leader of the engineer platoon is Lei Ting, who graduated from the chemistry department. Each bundle of cluster grenades is equipped with glass fragments, which is no less powerful than shrapnel.
With a satisfied smile on his face, Liang Shanhao warned: "Old Xiong, tell Lei Lei of the engineer platoon to pay attention to the signals of the flag carriers!"
Reaching out and patting his chest, Battalion Commander Xiong responded: "Tuanzuo, don't worry! I've already explained this!"
Turning towards Yang Yiming on the Zhonghua Gate, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Yi Ming, can the Japanese below see clearly!"
Yang Yiming made a clearly visible signal towards Liang Shanhao.
Liang Shanhao shouted: "Please focus on observing the location of the Japanese mortars."
Yang Yiming replied: No problem!
Yang Yiming's lurking position was at the commanding heights of the entire Zhonghua Gate. Through a shooting hole, the Japanese outside Changgan Bridge could be seen at a glance.
However, this kind of commanding heights can easily become the target of Japanese artillery fire, so it is very important to ensure confidentiality to the maximum extent.
In order to achieve the purpose of observing the Japanese while hiding himself at the same time, Liang Shanhao ordered Yang Yiming to convey military messages in semaphores to avoid exposing the target.
In the blink of an eye, the Japanese infantry and tanks were within fighting distance.
For a time, under the Zhonghua Sect, gunshots were fired loudly, cannons were booming,
Flesh and blood were flying everywhere on the Zhonghua Gate Tower, just like purgatory!
The Japanese tanks took the lead, firing at full speed and pouring firepower along the fortifications on the city wall.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A wave of 37mm tanks hit the city wall fortifications one after another.
The city wall fortifications of the 108th Regiment burst into a dazzling fire.
Many soldiers were hit head-on by artillery fire and collapsed in their positions, but they still held onto their weapons with both hands.
This is the spirit of the Chinese nation’s patriotism.
This is the Great Wall of flesh and blood of the Chinese nation.
call out!
Suddenly, a high-explosive bomb hit where Liang Shanhao was.
Boom!
With a fierce lunge, Wang Daniu, whose expression changed drastically, threw Liang Shanhao down.
Pushing away the guard Wang Daniu who was pressing on him, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Daniu! Daniu! Wake up!"
Wang Daniu remained motionless.
With red eyes, Liang Shanhao shook Wang Daniu until he almost fell apart.
Slowly opening his eyes, Wang Daniu shouted in a low voice: "Tuanzuo! Stop shaking! I'm almost falling apart because of you!"
Suddenly he breathed a long sigh of relief, and Liang Shanhao smiled and cursed: "Damn it, just be fine, I thought you were glorious! I was shocked."
After shaking off the smoke on his helmet, Wang Daniu smiled slightly: "That doesn't exist, Tuan Zuo. If I were to be honored, who would protect you?"
Pointing the MP40 submachine gun in his hand at the Japanese under the city wall again, Liang Shanhao cursed: "You bastard, stop talking nonsense, I'll hide here!"
While the two were talking, some of the Japs had already reached the base of the city wall and were preparing to rush up towards the gap using the slope paved with waste stones.
Seeing the Japs approaching the base of the city wall, Battalion Commander Liu shouted: "The Japs are building the base of the wall for me!"
Some soldiers of the 108th Regiment leaned out and opened fire on the Japanese at the base of the wall.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Japs at the foot of the wall were beaten to pieces and cried for their fathers and mothers. However, the Japs were not vegetarians either. The Japs machine gunners also fired at the soldiers on the wall.
Rub! Rub! Rub!
Rub! Rub! Rub!
Rub! Rub! Rub!
The rhythm of two short and one long bursts of fire immediately hit some of the soldiers on the city wall so hard that they fell down.
His face suddenly darkened, and Liang Shanhao shouted at the top of his voice: "Old Liu, tell your soldiers not to stretch their bodies out! Pay attention to concealment! The Japs' marksmanship is very accurate. Do you want to become a living target for the Japs?"
Frowning slightly, Battalion Commander Liu shouted: "But the base of the city wall is a blind spot for rifle fire! If you don't lean out, you won't be able to hit the little Japs below!"
After firing a short burst of fire at the Japs outside the city wall, Liang Shanhao sternly cursed: "This method of attack kills a thousand enemies and damages eight hundred. It's not cost-effective. Just throw a grenade at me."
After being slightly stunned, Battalion Commander Liu shouted: "Yes!"
Under the city wall, a Japanese squad leader brandished a saber and shouted: "Fool's cock!"
Holding uniform Type 38 rifles, more than fifty little Japs filed up the slope towards the gap.
Suddenly, a large number of wooden handle grenades flew from the city wall.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The Japanese team that climbed into the city to fight was blown to pieces and was immediately reduced by two-thirds.
The Japanese captain was also shattered by the empire in the explosion.
The attack at the three gaps quickly came to a standstill, and the Japanese could only rely on the bunker to exchange fire with the soldiers of the 108th Regiment on the tower.
Seeing that the troops attacking the gap were not successful, the commander of the regiment yelled: "Baga! Damn China soldiers, order Mr. Zhuchuan to blow up the mortars for me!"
Mortars have very good curved trajectories and are particularly suitable for dealing with enemies behind bunker fortifications.
With an order, the Japanese's 12 60mm-caliber mortars fired wildly at the city wall fortifications of Zhonghua Gate.
call out!
Phew! Phew!
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The frantic barrage of mortar shells came towards Liang Shanhao's 108th Regiment as if they were free of charge.
Balls of red fireballs immediately rose from the Zhonghua Gate compound position.
The airwaves from the shell explosion overturned many soldiers of the 108th Regiment. Many soldiers died and were injured, and screams could not be heard.
Liang Shanhao released a recruit who was suppressing him. Hearing the screams, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Yang Yiming, have you seen the little Japanese's mortar position clearly?"
Nodding towards Liang Shanhao from a distance, Yang Yiming, who had already figured out the location of the Japanese mortars, waved a set of flags to Liang Shanhao.
Chapter completed!
