March 27, 1939, Nanchang, east, Japanese 10th Division camp.
"How many casualties were there last night?" Rensuke Isotani asked.
"Hi, more than a thousand warriors."
"Baga! Tell the other divisions to attack at 9 o'clock! Nanchang must be captured!"
"Hi!"
As the commander of the 10th Division, Isotani Rensuke was appointed by Okamura Neji as the pre-war commander.
…
"Master, the Japanese have launched a general attack." Long Zhi put down his telescope and looked at Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Brothers, please be careful, the enemy's bullets don't have eyes! Be careful of the enemy's artillery!"
"yes!"
Nanchang City is a thousand-year-old city and an important city, and its natural city walls are relatively strong. But because of this, the Japanese bombardment never stopped.
The defending troops have a huge advantage by attacking from high to low.
However, the enemy's military strength is also the enemy's advantage.
Zhou Weiguo is not worried about the South Gate, but is worried about the other sides. Although some equipment is provided, many people are afraid of the combat power of the national army when facing the Japanese. Without morale, it will directly affect the direction of the war.
.
Soon, the main force of the Japanese 101st Division launched an attack.
For a time, the entire city of Nanchang was filled with gunshots.
Zhou Weiguo also crouched, then, holding a sniper rifle, began to snipe the Japanese. The same was true for the members of the special forces. For Zhou Weiguo's troops, it was more than enough to defend one side.
"Long Zhi, divide four battalions, five battalions and six battalions to support the troops on the other three walls respectively. Third brother, you also divide the special forces members into one to support other aspects." Zhou Weiguo said loudly, "Japanese.
The attack is so fierce that I'm afraid the other three sides won't be able to withstand it."
"yes!"
After Long Zhi and Liu San heard the order, they quickly went down to make arrangements.
Although this will increase the pressure on the 5th Regiment, it can reduce the pressure on other units of the 102nd Division and strengthen Nanchang's defense.
…
Zhou Weiguo pressed the trigger, and with a crisp sound, the skull of a Japanese second lieutenant was instantly lifted, and the Japanese second lieutenant also fell down.
After firing this shot, Zhou Weiguo retreated into the city wall, and the Japanese bullets hit the battlements with a crackling sound.
Afterwards, Zhou Weiguo quickly fired another shot and killed a Japanese soldier.
When Zhou Weiguo looked at the other soldiers on the battlefield, he felt relieved. At least, the soldiers performed well.
…
"Yalu! Didn't you say that there is China's 102nd Division in Nanchang? How come the firepower is so strong?" A Japanese colonel said angrily as he watched the Japanese soldiers continue to fall, but did not cause any substantial damage to Zhou Weiguo's troops.
.
"Hi! Your Excellency, Division Commander, there is also a regiment of the independent division Zhou Weiguo in the city!" said a soldier. Sanshan Yimu turned out to be the acting division commander. However, it is impossible for ordinary Japanese soldiers to add the two "acting" to their title.
Character.
"Independent division Zhou Weiguo? The one from Laiyang?" Sanshan Yimu frowned. The name Zhou Weiguo is already famous in their empire. After all, Japan invited Zhou Weiguo to join them. Moreover, it is said that the base camp is very sincere.
Invited, "Let the artillery troops continue to attack and be sure to knock down a section of the city wall! Then let the warriors retreat first!"
"Hi!"
…
When Zhou Weiguo saw that the Japanese had temporarily retreated, he knew that the Japanese were going to launch another bombardment.
"Be careful!" Long Zhi shouted.
Soon, the cannonballs continued to fall. Some went directly over the city wall, and some just hit the city wall.
Zhou Weiguo listened to the Japanese shelling and wondered if the Japanese could create a gap if they fired all the shells. Soon, he felt the vibration of the city wall. One of the battlements was directly destroyed by the explosion, resulting in a large hole in the wall.
.The soldiers behind the battlements also made no sound.
"Long Zhi! Let the artillery fight back!" Zhou Weiguo said loudly.
"I got it, Master!" Long Zhi also replied loudly, and then, braving the artillery fire, he ran to the messenger and said, "Tell Erzhu immediately and let him fight back! Press back the Japanese artillery!"
"Yes!" the signal soldier answered loudly, then avoided all kinds of artillery fire and went to send the message.
Zhou Weiguo picked up his telescope and took a look. The Japanese artillery was far away and out of range, so he had no choice but to let the artillery fight back.
Soon, artillery shells began to fire from the walls of Nanchang City. With a sharp whistling sound, they headed towards the Japanese artillery.
…
"Yalu! Hidden!" A Japanese lieutenant colonel shouted loudly. He had been on the Chinese battlefield for so long and rarely encountered Chinese troops with artillery. Most of the time, the Chinese troops would fall to other infantry after they carried out a round of artillery bombardment.
subordinates.
Then, a cannonball fell, not far from the Japanese artillery position.
…
Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Isotani Rensuke became a little angry and decided to call for air force support again.
…
Zhou Weiguo hid behind the battlements, listening to the shelling from both sides, and thinking, now the Japanese have 4 divisions surrounding Nanchang, and then there are other divisions entangled with the national army outside Nanchang. It can be said that this has serious differences with history.
Not consistent. Zhou Weiguo knew that it was his arrival that changed these things. If he wanted to change certain things, the enemy would become stronger, perhaps in terms of numbers or equipment. Now, it is somewhat obvious.
You must know that under such siege by the Japanese, Nanchang cannot be defended. Unless the national army can break through the enemy's perimeter and come to the rescue, Nanchang will be in danger.
But in fact, Nanchang is now in desperate situation, waiting for support.
Suddenly, the battlements where Zhou Weiguo was standing shook again. Zhou Weiguo looked outside and saw that a section of the city wall had been destroyed by the blast.
"Master, this can't go on like this!" Long Zhi ran to Zhou Weiguo and said.
"Of course not." Zhou Weiguo replied, "But is there anything you can do?"
Long Zhi shook his head, "No, our artillery can only cover it and cannot hit the Japanese artillery position over there."
Zhou Weiguo frowned and said, "This is the only way. Let brothers be careful and wait for the Japanese to charge before you fight them!"
"yes!"
After a while, Zhou Weiguo suddenly heard a buzzing sound. He raised his head and looked into the distance. It turned out to be Japanese bombers and Japanese fighter planes. Zhou Weiguo didn't know how to defend Nanchang under such circumstances.
The buzzing sound came closer, and then, huge shells fell.
Even if it is equipped with anti-aircraft guns, it cannot stop the Japanese bombing.
Unfortunately, a cannonball landed exactly on the east wall, causing a huge explosion.
For a time, fires were everywhere in Nancheng, and even on the city walls, there were fires from time to time.
…
"Master's seat, over there to the east!" Long Zhi pointed over there.
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Tell brothers, you must be prepared for hand-to-hand combat, but if you can solve it with a gun, you must use a gun to solve it!"
