In the subsequent attack, the Japanese 114th Division really gave up the defense line of attacking the Parachute School, and even the Zhonghua Gate behind the defense line was safe. This couldn't help but let the defenders defending the Zhonghua Gate heave a sigh of relief.
But at this time, the fighting was not as good everywhere on the front as at Zhonghua Gate. The Japanese Sixth Division in the west had already launched an attack on the Jinling City Wall.
On the Qingliangshan and Shuiximen positions, the defenders were inextricably linked to the Japanese Sixth Division. Because the Japanese Sixth Division also lost its armored vehicles, the attack on Qingliangshan and Shuiximen was very difficult, and the defenders were still unable to distinguish themselves.
Able to persevere.
Then the offensive of the Japanese 9th, 16th, and 13th divisions in the east went quite smoothly. Especially the 13th division attacking along the Yangzi River was able to receive support from Japanese naval warships, so their progress
Relatively smooth.
Although the 114th Division stopped attacking the defense line of the Parachute School troops, they turned to the defense line of the 264th Brigade.
A familiar smell, a familiar feeling. The 114th Division, which had been beaten to a bloody head by the defense line of the Parachute School, immediately found the feeling of attacking.
Of course, there were also gasoline barrel cannons firing, but it was a pity that they would go silent as long as a few grenades were used to explode them.
Moreover, the shooting accuracy of the soldiers of the 264th Brigade is far from comparable to that of the paratrooper school, which has sharpshooters and snipers.
The only thing that gave the Japanese soldiers a headache was that the firepower of the 164th Brigade was stronger than that of the Fruit Army before. Not only were there many shots from Type 38 rifles, but there were also two armored vehicles and tanks in the fortress.
The Japanese army caused a lot of trouble.
In addition, the trench system of the 264th Brigade is far from comparable to the improved trench system of the Parachute School. At least in terms of its ability to defend against heavy artillery fire and enemy aircraft strafing, it cannot be compared with the positions of the Parachute School.
The Japanese chose the front line of the 264th Brigade as the direction of attack. As for the defense line guarded by the Paratrooper School, they seemed not to see it and did not even touch it.
But just because they didn't touch it doesn't mean that people from the paratrooper school didn't see it.
The one closest to the defense line of the 246th Brigade was Guan Shijie. In order to be able to fight, their front line was even more protruding than that of the 246th Brigade.
However, at this time, the Japanese did not attack the defense line of the paratrooper school. Even Guan Shijie, speaking with a northeastern accent in the trench, shouted desperately to the Japanese attacking team,
"You little devils, you've got shit soup in your head. I'm here, go attack here..."
However, the Japanese who attacked the fourth position of the 26th Brigade would rather face artillery fire from tanks and machine gun fire than attack the position of the Parachute School.
Through the telescope, he could clearly see that in broad daylight, the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division actually had as many as one battalion on the position. Although it was in multiple trenches, according to Guan Shijie's understanding of the Guojun trenches,
, he frowned.
He was not used to touching his face armor with his hands wearing anti-cut gloves. Not only could he not touch his old beard, but he could not even touch the flesh on his own face. This made him move his lips and curse in a low voice,
"What the hell are you wearing face armor? You're not allowed to take it off during battle. You're so stupid. What the hell..."
The plane arrived at the position of the 264th Brigade, and several anti-aircraft machine guns hidden somewhere launched a counterattack that was better than nothing.
However, the medium bombers carried out a covering bombing towards the position of the 264th Brigade.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the 264th Brigade did not know how to drill anti-gun holes under the enemy's bombardment. Even if the anti-gun holes in the military trenches are not as exaggerated as those dug in the parachute school, they should still be enough.
However, many people still wearing the clothes of the local security corps were running around in the trenches with their heads in their hands. Some even left the trenches and ran backwards before the bombing.
When the bomb fell, pieces of clothing floating in the wind were rolled up in the black smoke column.
Seeing this, Guan Shijie couldn't help it anymore, waving his remaining arm and hitting the sandbag of the battalion command post with his fist. He let out a heavy sigh,
"Why"
But he also knew that that was not only the practice of the Guo Army, but also the practice of other warlords. They did not treat veterans or soldiers as consumables.
Guan Shijie was surprised not to see a unit like the Paratrooper School that valued veterans and combat skills training.
When he once met Hu Yang and his soldiers of the 87th Division in the mixed barracks, he smelled a hint of the elite troops.
But since he met Zhang Sixing, he realized that war could still be fought that way.
It's not that everyone dug trenches to shoot each other, but - just like boxing, they find loopholes and hit him where his life is fatal.
As the bombers retreated, troops from the 264th Brigade appeared again. They quickly poured into the position to reinforce the destroyed position.
But before they could disperse, there was another roar like a train passing through the sky, and then heavy artillery shells fell on the position of the 264th Brigade again.
He couldn't help but pointed at the position of the 264th Brigade and yelled
"You...you guys don't know how to fight? Isn't this just letting the soldiers die? You know that the Japanese have so many cannons that they can't bear to dig more cat-ear holes."
Apparently the artillery observers on the Japanese front line saw the movement of the troops, and then a platoon of heavy artillery came over.
Think about the people in the paratrooper school. Not to mention the concealment of their military uniforms, even the trenches are covered with rope nets. Even if they are blown up by the Japanese, it is just a matter of taking another route.
It is simply impossible to see the actions of the parachute school defenders from the surface of the position.
Of course, this is not all. He knows that the 264th Brigade also has steel helmet grenades. Those items are almost necessary military supplies for the Chinese army. In addition, the 264th Brigade should also have enough earthenware grenades, so their defensive battle will be
How will it be beaten?
Under constant bombardment by heavy artillery, the Japanese 114th Division dispatched about a large group of soldiers.
It's useless against a brigade of Japanese soldiers from the Parachute School. I'm guessing they're still treating their eyes.
So what will happen if a brigade of more than a thousand Japanese soldiers deals with the troops of the 264th Brigade?
The Japanese encountered helmet mines during their attack, a few but not many.
Hasn't anyone thought that the steel helmets are specially designed to bomb the marching brigades, so why not try to arrange for people to detonate mines?
Guan Shijie couldn't understand this matter. Although the paratrooper school had a punishment camp, the 264th Brigade probably didn't.
But Guan Shijie thought, if they directly ambush a pistol battalion like they did against the 101st Division, it would take a lot of trouble for the Japanese to dig out every hole.
Especially now, it is not the Gong-style wooden handle grenades used back then, but the grenades used now are clay-porcelain grenades that may become widespread at any time.
Put dozens of them in a pit, and as long as the Japanese don't have tanks, it should be very difficult to break through a series of individual pits.
