Chapter 1365, The Japanese invaders play the leading role tonight
In the dark night, the Purple Mountain shines brightly.
Cannonballs fell one after another, and bursts of fire broke out, attracting the attention of countless people.
Death fireworks are particularly beautiful.
Whether it is the national army or the Japanese invaders, the focus is here.
The Japanese invaders were bombed in vain in the mountains.
From time to time, Japanese invaders were killed on the spot.
However, they cannot retreat because Matsui Iwane does not allow it.
Even if they die, they will all die on Purple Mountain. Otherwise, going back will be a dead end.
The previous captain of the unit has been ordered to commit seppuku. Who dares to neglect this?
"boom……"
"boom……"
With the violent explosion, the number of red dots became less and less.
The last remaining Japanese invaders numbered less than 300 and were scattered in every corner of Zijin Mountain.
The killing effect of artillery shells is getting lower and lower. It's a bit wasteful.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Inform the 10th Artillery Regiment to stop the bombardment!"
"yes."
Soon, the shelling stopped.
The remaining Japanese invaders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly entered the position, ready to counterattack the Chinese at any time.
The shelling has stopped, and the Chinese will definitely launch an attack. The other side will definitely take back the Purple Mountain.
The Japanese invaders in the rear rushed to Purple Mountain for emergency reinforcements.
The radar map showed dense red dots swarming up the Purple Mountain like a tide.
Soon, more than a thousand Japanese invaders gathered on the Purple Mountain. They were all in full formation, waiting for the national army to attack.
Zhang Yong:……
Came so fast?
They are indeed well-trained Japanese invaders!
good.
I really like this kind of battle.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Order the 10th Artillery Regiment to continue firing at Purple Mountain! Until I order it to stop!"
"yes!"
The staff officer hurriedly went to deliver the order.
Soon, the shells fell on the Purple Mountain again.
"Nani..."
The Japanese invaders were dumbfounded.
Why another artillery fire?
Why was there no infantry attack?
hateful……
You came here to die in vain!
"boom……"
"boom……"
Groups of fire broke out, lighting up the dark night sky.
With the deafening sound, Purple Mountain once again became a Shura field. A large number of Japanese invaders died.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Fragmented.
The blown soil was all filled with flesh and blood.
"ah……"
"puff……"
Groups of Japanese invaders were blown away.
Dead, injured, miserable, and a mess.
"Damn..."
"I was fooled..."
The captain of the Japanese alliance complained secretly.
This is totally a way to die! Running to the mountains and getting bombed in vain.
There is no place to hide.
In the face of 150mm grenades, all field fortifications are in vain.
Even if the Japanese invaders could dig trenches and dig cat-ear holes as quickly as possible, it would be of no avail. They would still be shocked to death.
Only by withdrawing can we ensure survival.
The problem is, they can't withdraw because General Matsui Iwane won't allow it.
so……
"Baga!"
"fire!"
"Raze Jinling!"
"Baga!"
Over there, Matsui Iwane was also furious.
Damn the Chinese!
revenge!
Must take revenge!
The Chinese people must be made aware of the power of the Japanese Empire!
It ordered all artillery to fire at Jinling immediately.
There is no clear goal.
Carpet bombardment.
"boom……"
"boom……"
A moment later, countless artillery shells fell towards Jinling.
Most of the shells landed in civilian areas.
For a time, the entire Jinling was a sea of fire.
Countless buildings collapsed...
Countless casualties...
"Commissioner!"
"Commissioner!"
The staff sent telegrams one after another.
All defense areas reported that they had been shelled, severely damaged, and suffered a large number of civilian casualties.
"knew."
Zhang Yong's face was grim.
This is a blood debt!
Blood debt must be paid with blood!
"Order the Police Headquarters and Gendarmerie Headquarters to organize ships to transport the fleeing people across the river."
There is only one command.
All that's left is to prepare for street fighting.
After the street fighting, they retreated and finally gave up Jinling.
After evacuating the people, he would order Jinling to be turned into ruins, leaving no brick or tile for the Japanese invaders.
"Report! The Japanese invaders are attacking from the direction of Guanghuamen!"
"Report! The Japanese invaders are launching an attack from the direction of China Gate!"
"Report! Japanese invaders are in the direction of Yuhuatai..."
More telegrams arrived.
Zhang Yong kept pressing it without any instructions.
Each defense zone has its own commander. No instructions are needed.
Are the Japanese invaders crazy?
Of course not. A normal reaction.
So many people died in Zijin Mountain, and the Japanese invaders were unwilling to give up.
However, there is no better way to capture Purple Mountain. We can only think of ways from other areas.
Hehe, other areas...
Carefully study the empty map and discover the target.
In the direction of Guanghuamen, there is a Japanese tank sign. It must be the main force of the Japanese invaders.
What tank?
After checking, I found it was a Type 95 light tank.
It's the kind that weighs about seven tons. It's a relatively big bean. But it's very annoying.
Under the cover of infantry, it is still a bit difficult to deal with.
You must use a 20mm machine gun to shoot the front. Or use a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot the side.
Of course, using mines is also a good idea. Or explosive packs.
However, now, it is not used at all.
"Ten artillery regiments."
"yes."
"Peng Mengji? Shell the 257,309 area. Each gun fires thirty rounds."
"Commissioner, that's the direction of Guanghua Gate..."
"There are no civilians in the target area. It has been occupied by the Japanese invaders. Fire immediately!"
"yes!"
Peng Mengji solemnly agreed.
Then order the howitzer to adjust parameters.
"put!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A grenade was ejected from the barrel and fell towards the Guanghua Gate.
In an instant, a ball of fire broke out among the Japanese troops who were launching an attack.
In the dazzling firelight, a large number of Japanese invaders were blown to pieces.
The attack formation was completely disrupted.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
Some shells fell, and a dozen Japanese invaders were sent away with one shot.
Gwanghwamun was surrounded by buildings and criss-crossed streets. The Japanese invaders' ranks were virtually dense.
They themselves did not expect that they would be covered by heavy artillery.
By the time I reacted, it was already too late.
"boom……"
Suddenly, an even more dazzling fire broke out.
However, a Type 95 tank owned by the Japanese invaders was blown up on the spot and returned to the state of parts.
It is said that during the Normandy landings, King Tiger tanks with mustaches rushed onto the beach without fear of death and tried to shoot at the American battleships.
The results can be imagined.
It was blown to pieces by the battleship's 406mm main gun on the spot.
At this moment, the Japanese tanks were being fired upon by 150mm howitzers, and the same thing happened.
Even a near miss is enough to severely damage these soybeans.
As for the Japanese infantry next to the tanks, they had long since disappeared without a trace. It was as if they did not exist at all.
"Well played!"
"Well played!"
Luo Zhuoying saw it in the telescope and was immediately elated.
Such accurate artillery fire. Almost all of them fell on the Japanese invaders.
The originally aggressive Japanese invaders were immediately blown to pieces and were unable to organize an effective attack.
This fierce artillery fire alone might have wiped out thousands of Japanese invaders.
As for the Japanese tanks...
Just now I was worried that the quantity was too large and might not be able to deal with it. Now I feel that it is a pity because the quantity is too small.
All six Japanese tanks involved in the attack were blown to pieces.
Come all up!
Other tanks are coming up too! Let’s accept the baptism of the 150mm howitzer together!
Let’s see if they dare to be so arrogant in the future!
You really think no one can cure you, right?
Zhang Yong is here...
Japanese nemesis!
That’s not a wasted reputation!
This one round of artillery fire can make the Japanese invaders cry for a long time.
admire!
real.
What's the problem with being greedy for money and lust?
As long as you can win the war and kill the Japanese invaders, no matter how greedy for money or lustful...
Pooh!
That's romantic!
Whoever says that Zhang Yong is greedy for money and lustful, get out!
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Zhang Yong sneezed violently.
Damn! Rhinitis is such an immortal cancer!
The Japanese invaders were shelling wildly, and the 10th Artillery Regiment was also shelling wildly. The entire Jinling was filled with smoke.
The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, which was extremely pungent.
View the Aerial Map.
I don’t know what the effect of bombarding Guanghua Gate is.
Those Japanese tanks...
[Empty Finger Map Upgrade]
[Destruction effect 100%]
Information arrives.
Check again.
Found that there is no tank mark anymore.
The destruction effect is 100%. Does it mean the Japanese tanks? That's not bad. Kill them all.
Without tank cover, only Japanese infantry, which should not pose a fatal threat.
Attention turns to Guanghuamen.
There's a tank sign over there too.
Check.
[(Japanese) Type 95 Tank]
【Eight vehicles】
Oh, the map has indeed been upgraded. The quantity is displayed.
The Japanese invaders actually dispatched eight tanks to participate in the attack? Very good. Just enough to feed the 150mm howitzer.
There's no point in blasting Japanese infantry all day long. You need to eat some meat. Tanks are just fine.
So he ordered someone to get through the phone number of the 10th Artillery Regiment.
"Peng Mengji, I order you to turn to areas 331 and 342 and bombard them!"
"Commissioner, that's the direction of China Gate..."
"I know. Execute the order! Fire thirty rounds per gun!"
"yes!"
Soon, the shells landed in the Zhonghua Gate area.
The Japanese invaders who were launching an attack were covered by artillery fire. The scene can be imagined.
"boom……"
"boom……"
After more than a dozen shells exploded, the Japanese attack was immediately interrupted.
Faced with heavy artillery bombardment, let alone an attack, if you can save your life, it's good. If you're not careful, you won't even be able to find the body parts.
Buildings in the shelling area were also blown to pieces. The blown bricks and rubble sputtered around and turned into sharp weapons for killing people.
"ah……"
"puff……"
A Japanese band captain died on the spot.
His whole body was hit by flying stones, and his flesh and blood were instantly mutilated. His head was also missing.
"Baga..."
The remaining Japanese invaders were anxious and angry, hiding in various places.
However, where can one hide? The entire area is covered by artillery shells.
"boom……"
In the light of the fire, a Japanese tank was blown to pieces.
This was the most unlucky Japanese tank. It was directly hit by a 150mm artillery shell. The man and tank flew up to the Yasukuni Temple together.
Zhang Yong leisurely looked at the map of Kongzhi Department in secret.
[Destruction effect 50%]
That's four cars?
Four vehicles destroyed?
Not bad. Keep going. Try to kill them all.
"Oh My God……"
"Is the artillery fire so fierce?"
The national troops in the defensive positions couldn't help but stand up and watch.
The Japanese invaders, who had been so aggressive just now, suddenly seemed like a lost dog with their backs broken, and they were left to run for their lives.
If you hesitate for even one second, you may be hit by falling shells.
You must know that that is a 150mm grenade. Its killing radius is a full fifty meters.
Along with the ruins, bricks and rubble, the coverage was even more terrifying. Even some unlucky national soldiers were hit.
The remaining national troops hurriedly hid in the fortifications and never dared to raise their heads again.
"The number of howitzers is still too few..."
"It would be nice if there was a complete heavy artillery regiment..."
"The tank factory is not strong enough..."
Zhang Yong secretly resented him.
There are only twelve howitzers, and they can only be used in turn.
Once separated, the density of artillery fire would not be enough to cause maximum damage to the Japanese invaders.
I hope the barrel can withstand it...
Don't blow up the barrel or anything.
These big treasures, if every door is damaged, one door will be missing!
Nothing to add...
[Destruction effect 75%]
[Destruction effect 100%]
finally……
All eight Japanese tanks were killed.
very good.
Don't worry about the rest of the infantry.
The national army in the defense zone will meet them.
I hope that my pepper-sprinkling bombardment can teach the Japanese invaders a lesson.
The howitzer position is at Yancang Bridge, which can basically control the entire core range of Jinling. It can cover Japanese invaders attacking from any direction.
If the direction is reversed, it can even cover Pukou District on the north bank of the river.
In short, no matter where the Japanese invaders launch an attack, they will be greeted by howitzers.
Unless you can fly...
If it was a Japanese aircraft, there would be nothing we could do.
Attention returned to Purple Mountain.
After the shelling stopped, the Japanese infantry reinforced again.
The radar map showed that at least one Japanese aggressor group had swarmed up Purple Mountain again.
You really are not afraid of death! After one group of people died, another group came up.
Suddenly I wanted to say something.
This is indeed the first time I have seen such a stubborn Japanese invader.
"Commander Wu."
"Commissioner, tell me."
"Order the commandos to rest."
"Commissioner, no attack tonight?"
"No. Let the Japanese invaders play the leading role tonight."
"good!"
Wu Keren then went to deliver the order.
The second wave of commandos, who were waiting in full formation, dispersed.
There are no tasks tonight.
Leave it all to the howitzers.
Count the time silently.
Wait for the shelling on the Zhonghua Gate side to end.
Twelve howitzers, each with 30 rounds, a total of 360 rounds.
It should be able to cause considerable damage to the Japanese invaders.
The unobstructed open area is covered by large-caliber heavy artillery. The picture is exciting just thinking about it...
"Baga!"
"Ahhhh..."
Sure enough, Matsui Iwane was anxious and angry when he received the report.
Attacks from multiple directions were covered by Chinese artillery fire, resulting in very heavy casualties.
In the direction of Guanghuamen, an infantry regiment was almost completely wiped out.
All the assistant officers were killed.
A squadron of tanks was completely destroyed.
In the direction of Zhonghua Gate, there are less than 200 people left in an infantry regiment!
All the assistant officers were also killed.
The chariot squadron assigned to the battle was all in pieces. Not a single one was left alive.
"Crack!"
Crush the walnuts in your hands hard.
Dark eyes.
I really want to kill someone.
It realized that there was a fatal obstacle here.
It's the Chinese 150mm howitzer.
As long as these howitzers remain, infantry attacks will be extremely dangerous.
No matter how brave the infantry is, they cannot resist the greetings from 150mm grenades. They must be eliminated.
The tank troops were bombed by howitzers and suffered heavy casualties.
So, here comes the question...
Where is this damn artillery position?
Is there any way to eliminate it?
It's nighttime now!
There is no way to determine the Chinese artillery positions.
Even if it is barely certain, there is still a very fatal problem. That is how to eliminate it.
Use a heavy cannon to shoot from a distance?
Will there be a counterattack?
If it were before, Matsui Iwane would definitely not be afraid.
It believed that the Japanese army's own artillery was very powerful and indestructible.
But now, it's a little unsure.
I always feel that among the Chinese people, there seems to be someone who can discern the opportunity.
"Report!"
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty Commander, Purple Mountain is covered by artillery fire again."
"knew."
Matsui Iwane had a gloomy face.
I'm annoyed, but I can't show it, and I can't take back my previous order.
"Tell the Sixth Division that Purple Mountain must be controlled."
"Tie!"
The staff officer went to deliver the order.
The pressure was then placed on the Sixth Division.
Hisao Tani also had a sinister expression on his face and his eyes were all red.
Damn Purple Mountain!
It consumed two of his infantry regiments!
You must know that a division is only four infantry regiments!
Just two were consumed on Purple Mountain, and the Sixth Division will soon be crippled. Really.
The Sixth Division has been depleted in the previous battles and has not yet been fully replenished. The losses tonight are so heavy, the Sixth Division really cannot hold on.
Keep fighting. Tomorrow, Hisao Tatani will go into battle himself.
However……
It can't retreat.
We couldn't even tell Matsui Iwane that the Sixth Division was in ruins.
Otherwise, Hisao Tani will be the first to fail.
He may not commit seppuku, but he will be transferred to the reserve army and sit on the bench from now on.
"boom……"
"boom……"
In the direction of Purple Mountain, the sound of explosions continued.
Obviously, the Japanese troops on the mountain would suffer heavy casualties under the cover of Chinese artillery fire.
It's terrible...
This infantry regiment is no longer available.
Even if they can be withdrawn in the end, there will probably only be three to four hundred people left.
