The shells landed on the city walls of Nanchang and on the positions outside the city, making huge explosions and leaving fires behind.
"Long Zhi, let the soldiers of the firearms company play with the artillery for me." Zhou Weiguo said, "Hit the Japanese artillery positions."
"yes!"
…
Soon, the same shelling was fired back at the Japanese.
…
"Nani? Didn't it say that there is only one Chinese division in Nanchang?" a Japanese lieutenant general asked doubtfully.
"Hey, maybe we should add a regiment from Zhou Weiguo now!"
"Let the warriors take cover."
"Hi!"
"It's already dark. Let's just carry out one attack tonight. If it doesn't work, we'll attack again tomorrow."
"Hi!"
While the Japanese lieutenant general continued to issue orders, a shell fell at his feet. Then, a huge explosion sounded.
…
Zhou Weiguo naturally didn't know that this random bombardment directly hit a division commander. However, a division commander can gain a lot of war points.
Seeing the explosion outside the city, Zhou Weiguo felt a little better inside. After all, he couldn't just let the Japanese bomb him.
…
"What's going on?" a Japanese colonel asked the soldier next to him.
"Your Excellency, the Division Commander and Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, were unfortunately... shattered by bombs."
"idiot!"
"Hi!"
"Yalu, immediately send a telegram to the Commander to inform him of the war on the front line!"
"Hi!"
…
"Baga! Ito Masaki this idiot!" Okamura Neji was furious. A dignified division commander was killed by Zhou Weiguo with a cannonball, and the chief of staff was also killed. Okamura Neji had to admire Zhou Weiguo
Feeling the good luck, he immediately said, "Order the 101st Regiment Captain, Ichiki Miyama, to be the acting division commander to organize the attack."
"Hi!"
"Order them to capture Nanchang and kill Zhou Weiguo!"
"Hi!"
…
Miyama Kazuki listened to the telegram and nodded silently. Although he expected to be promoted, it was not under such circumstances. He then said, "There will be no more attacks tonight, let the warriors recharge their batteries."
"Hi!"
"Your Excellency, Acting Division Commander, what if the enemy escapes?" Another colonel said calmly.
"Hmph! The Chinese people obviously want to defend Nanchang!"
"Have you, the acting division commander, forgotten Nanjing? Wuhan? Every time the Chinese people said they would defend, but every time they retreated."
"Don't worry, even if the Chinese want to retreat, they will not be able to escape now that they are surrounded by us on all sides." Ichiki Miyama also said calmly. He served as the acting division commander, and of course the other two regiment captains were not convinced.
"Hi! I hope your Excellency, the Acting Division Commander, can shoulder this responsibility!"
"Huh! Then Ono-kun doesn't have to worry about it."
…
"Idiot!" When Isoya Rensuke saw the telegram, he secretly cursed Ito Masaki, even though he was already broken into pieces.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander? Are you still going to attack tonight?"
"No, fighting at night is just a waste of bullets. Let the warriors rest."
"Hi!"
…
March 27, 1939, early morning, 2 o'clock.
Two groups of figures moved towards the Japanese camps to the south and east respectively.
2 o'clock is usually the time when a person is most asleep.
About half an hour later, huge explosions were heard in the Japanese camps to the south and east.
…
"Yaruka! Where's the explosion!" Isotani Rensuke woke up and was furious. The explosion just now was very close to him! In other words, he was almost also affected!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there was an explosion in the camp of the warriors just now!" A Japanese soldier said loudly. Fortunately, he was only on duty.
"What are the casualties?" Isotani Rensuke asked.
"Not sure yet!"
"Baga! Make sure quickly!" Isotani Renjie was angry. This incident reminded him of Zhou Weiguo's terrible combat methods before.
"Hi!"
…
As for the Japs camp in the south, since there were only 9 members of the special forces team including Liu San, the number of bombs they could carry was limited. Those assigned to the Japs in the South City Gate were able to blow up 4 Japs camps with 4 people.
Originally, Zhou Weiguo also wanted to go with him. After all, with him here, there would be no need to worry about equipment. However, he was really afraid of the Japanese sneak attack in the middle of the night.
When Zhou Weiguo heard the explosion, he laughed. Although these explosions could not kill many Japs, they could at least warn the Japs and reduce their troop strength.
…
March 27, 1939, is the day in history that the Japanese army captured Nanchang.
But now, the Japanese have suffered more serious casualties. Although there is a big difference in the strength of the enemy and our troops, the strength of the Nanchang guards is also different from that in history. The most important thing is that the equipment is also different and the people are also different.
Zhou Weiguo wanted to see if the Japanese could still capture Nanchang today. Of course, Zhou Weiguo had truly felt the horror of restoring the balance of time and space. In history, Okamura Neji only commanded three divisions.
Nanchang was captured. But now, just surrounding the city of Nanchang, there were 4 divisions and a detachment. Not to mention the Japanese who were held back by the national army in other places.
After breakfast, the Japanese began a new round of shelling.
For them, as long as they can knock down a section of the city wall, it is very convenient.
Zhou Weiguo hid on the city wall and looked at the Japs. He understood the Japs' thoughts, but that didn't mean that he would just let the Japs bomb.
When Zhou Weiguo ordered to go down and bombard the Japanese, Zhou Weiguo heard a different sound coming from the sky.
"Master's seat, Japanese plane!"
Zhou Weiguo, who had already been on defense, directly set up anti-aircraft guns. Because in Nanchang, Zhou Weiguo had no air force to use, or in other words, the Kuomintang's air force was too far behind the enemy. If he went to heaven, he could only die. Therefore, Zhou Weiguo had already
We were ready for air defense.
More than a dozen Japanese bombers continued to drop bombs in Nanchang City, and even tried to drop bombs on the city wall. However, the bombs on the city wall were really difficult to throw away.
When a bomber dived to bomb, Zhou Weiguo fired his cannon.
"Very good." Zhou Weiguo smiled. It had been a long time since he had operated an anti-aircraft gun, but he didn't feel unfamiliar when he used it again.
"Master! You are so awesome!"
Obviously, Zhou Weiguo successfully brought down the plane, which boosted his morale. Seeing that Zhou Weiguo had anti-aircraft weapons, the Japanese fighter planes did not dare to come down easily.
Only the Japanese bombers were left to continue bombing missions.
Zhou Weiguo felt uncomfortable looking at the bombed mess of Nanchang City. Nanchang is also an ancient city. It is unknown how many ancient cities were damaged in the war.
About half an hour later, the Japanese bombers flew away and the bombardment stopped.
Zhou Weiguo knew that a real bloody battle was coming, and it was very likely that his 5th independent division regiment would be lost here.
However, he had no choice but to retreat any further, because behind him were his fellow villagers.
