Many Nationalist soldiers fell down after being shot and never got up.
Chen Zifeng's sniper team is also shooting wildly!
Their marksmanship was precise and they could kill a shooter with almost every shot. However, the Japanese army had too many firepower points. Every window was a firepower point, spraying flames outwards!
A Japanese soldier was beaten to death by Chen Zifeng and others, and soon another soldier came to replace him. They were shooting downstairs like crazy.
The Nationalist soldiers were still moving forward, and from time to time someone was shot and fell down.
Company Commander Chai waved his rifle and kept directing the soldiers behind him to rush forward.
Finally, a few soldiers gradually approached the building. They threw boxes or chairs forward, then quickly lay down, rolled left and right, approached the boxes, chairs, and threw them forward again. They seemed to have selected a window.
It was this window that Chen Zifeng was staring at. Whenever a Japanese soldier appeared in that window, he would shoot him and kill him.
The soldier at the front suddenly ran forward with the box in his arms. He threw the box under the window, and then threw his gun into the window. He ran back. A thick smoke poured out of the window.
Several more soldiers rushed over and threw more messy things under the window.
A soldier stacked the boxes, chairs, wooden boards and other objects, and then climbed up.
Suddenly a Japanese soldier appeared in the window. He picked up his rifle and stabbed out the window!
The Chinese soldier grabbed the barrel of his gun in time, and the two men started to pull at each other while yelling at the window!
Several more Japanese soldiers appeared at the window, and they tried their best to push the Chinese soldier outside the window. Several Chinese soldiers rushed forward, grabbing the soldier from the window to prevent him from falling, and pushing him in with all his strength.
!
The Chinese and Japanese soldiers were roaring. They looked ferocious, scratching each other's eyes and strangling each other's necks, all wanting to kill each other! They actually had a stalemate inside and outside the window, and no one could push the other side down!
Another Chinese soldier rushed up. He grabbed the belt of the soldier in front, kicked their bodies, and finally climbed up! Then he took out a pistol, unscrewed the back cover, and pulled out the firing line.
He cursed loudly: "Your mother forced you to do it! Go to hell!"
He threw his gun into the room. There was a crisp explosion, and the Japanese soldiers blocking the window suddenly collapsed. The Chinese soldiers outside the window suddenly fell into the window.
The attacking national army finally used their flesh and blood to break open a small opening in the reinforced concrete fortress!
The soldiers who were attacking nearby saw this window, and they all roared and swarmed over, hoping to climb in through that window!
However, the Japanese firepower in the window upstairs poured down like water, dragging bullets with tongues of fire!
Groups of charging National Army soldiers fell on the rubble and rolled down the broken walls like wheat that had been cut down. Blood spattered from their bodies and sprayed into the air!
Some of the fallen soldiers struggled to get up and continue to rush forward. Another wave of bullets came over them. They fell down again, and blood flowed from their heads and splashed on the ruined walls!
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng, as well as Qiang Hu and Xiao Zhang, crouched behind the wall and fired one shot after another upstairs. They tried their best to save the lives of those soldiers and hoped to escort them into the building!
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound broke through the air, and countless artillery shells exploded violently near them, stirring up smoke and rubble that towered into the sky and poured down like a heavy rain. They had to lie on the ground holding their heads.
They saw some more soldiers climbing into the building through the window!
Xiao Ancheng crouched behind a low wall and sent a third telegram to Brigadier Huang: "Company Commander Chai led his troops into the Japanese headquarters and requested full support!"
25-22
Brigadier Huang received the telegram from Xiao Ancheng in the headquarters of the main building of Chizhi University, and his face lit up with excitement.
He confirmed Company Commander Chai's attack location on the map and immediately ordered other troops to move closer to continue the attack.
He stood in front of the window, holding up his telescope and looking forward. He actually couldn't see anything. The place was filled with smoke and dust, blocking the sky and the sun. He could only see waves of soldiers charging in that direction.
He turned around and shouted: "Pull the phone line over! Whoever is directing from the front, I want to talk to him!"
The telephone soldier dragged the telephone cord and rushed forward with all his strength!
25-23
At this time, in the foyer of the main entrance of the Japanese military headquarters, it was a completely different situation.
Although Battalion Commander Liu's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the remaining ones all stormed into the entrance hall!
The foyer is spacious and tall, with stairs in the front and corridors on both sides!
Although the Japanese soldiers on the stairs were in a condescending position, it was not convenient for them to attack the Chinese soldiers.
Battalion Commander Liu roared and summoned a machine gun to block the stairs.
He clearly knew that the main attack direction of the national army was on the north side. Therefore, he only deployed a small number of troops at the entrance of the south corridor to block the Japanese soldiers rushing over there. He used most of his troops in the north corridor.
The soldier threw his gun into the corridor one after another, and then charged into the corridor under the cover of smoke.
The Japanese soldiers hiding in the room kept shooting or throwing grenades, desperately resisting.
The Chinese soldiers fought almost from house to house, and even started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese soldiers in the house.
They used bayonets, guns, and fists to fight with each other. The soldiers in front were shot and fell, and the soldiers behind immediately rushed forward and continued to attack.
The blood of both sides either sprayed into the air or flowed on the ground. The soldiers roared loudly.
The Chinese soldiers moved forward almost bit by bit, squeezing the Japanese army!
Battalion Commander Liu did not know that the Chinese army had already entered the building through the north window and was also attacking in the corridor.
In fact, these two national armies are separated by a corridor and around the corner. Once they meet, the situation will completely change!
The Japanese soldiers blocking the attack downstairs felt the danger and roared desperately, hoping to get more support!
25-24
From the moment the battle started, Commander Okawa and Takuto Sato had a division of labor. Commander Okawa was responsible for blocking the attack from outside, while Sato was responsible for clearing the enemy troops who entered the gate.
Commander Okawa ran back and forth in the corridors on the third and fourth floors, shouting loudly and instructing the soldiers to shoot.
Sato was lame on one leg and ran back and forth on the first floor, ordering the soldiers to drive out the enemy troops who had rushed in as soon as possible.
He could see clearly that there were only so many enemy troops in the foyer! As the battle progressed, these enemy troops would become fewer and fewer and would eventually be eliminated!
But the enemy troops attacking from the north side are different. More enemy troops are constantly crawling in from the windows on the north side! There will even be more and more of them! Once they attack, they will continue to advance towards the corridors on both sides! The situation is getting more and more dangerous!
What's even worse is that all the machine guns are shooting from the windows! It is impossible to turn towards the enemy troops in the corridor! The officers and soldiers under his command only have pistols and rifles. However, the enemy troops who invade the corridor have machine guns and are firing at them crazily.
shooting!
He jumped up the stairs and found Commander Okawa on the third floor.
He shouted: "Dachuan, more and more enemy troops are coming in! This will never work!"
Commander Okawa held a pistol in one hand and a command knife in the other, and roared at him: "What do you want to do!"
Sato shouted: "Send a telegram to Commander Hasegawa immediately and ask him to bombard the enemy forces outside with all his strength! Block their attack route! Immediately, please send a telegram now!"
Without saying a word, Commander Okawa turned around and rushed into the telecommunications room, ordering the communications officer to send a telegram to Commander Hasegawa.
25-25
A few minutes later, Commander Hasegawa, who was directing the bombardment on the heavy cruiser "Hatsugumo", received an urgent telegram from Commander Okawa.
After reading the telegram, he understood that the Japanese Marine Corps Command was facing a serious crisis! The enemy was invading! It might even be captured by the enemy! If this was the case, his battle in Shanghai would be a complete failure!
He summoned the combat officers and ordered: "Notify all ships to intensify the artillery bombardment around the Marine Corps headquarters! Especially the north side! All-out bombardment!"
However, the combat officer looked at him stupidly, mumbling and not daring to speak.
"What's wrong with you! Why don't you go and deliver the order!" Commander Hasegawa roared at him.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I...I was about to report." The combat officer finally said.
"What! Say it quickly!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, we...we are running out of ammunition, only the minimum amount is left! According to regulations, we should...should stop shooting! I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Commander."
Commander Hasegawa immediately understood what was going on.
During combat, a warship must retain a minimum base of ammunition in order to maintain the most basic combat effectiveness when returning or before replenishing ammunition! Once the shells are used up, his heavy cruiser will simply be a target floating on the sea! Zhongyi
Even the country’s small gunboats can attack him!
Yesterday, plus last night, the ships he belonged to had fired too many cannonballs! If he continued the bombardment, he might really use up all the cannonballs!
He understands very well that he must maintain the most basic combat effectiveness and must not burn out all the shells!
However, Dachuan is in an extremely critical situation! If he does not continue the bombardment, Dachuan's headquarters will inevitably be captured by the enemy! That will also be a great shame and humiliation for him! It is absolutely unacceptable to him!
He asked: "Did you ask for ammunition replenishment? Huh?"
The combat officer said: "I requested it last night. But at the earliest, it won't be replenished until tonight at the earliest!"
Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa was very angry. He should not have shot down so many artillery shells yesterday! He took a few steps back and forth and suddenly thought that his cannon had not been fired yet!
There are also four huge guns on his ship, with a caliber of 203 mm! Its shells weigh more than one hundred kilograms! They are used to attack enemy fleets! There is no need for such shells against those small houses on land!
But now, he must use it! Because Okawa's headquarters must not be lost!
