The surrender of the puppet troops at the city gate does not mean that the entire main force of the fourth puppet regiment surrendered.
The Japanese army has gathered. Under the coercion and order of the Japanese army, these puppet troops cooperated with the Japanese army to launch a fierce attack on the South City Gate. Fortunately, the penetration regiment had already occupied the puppet army's machine gun positions, plus their original machine guns and the like. , causing considerable damage to the Japanese and puppet troops in a short period of time.
Fortunately, the artillery brigade of the 18th Division had been transferred to the Sanshan area, otherwise the city gate would have been blown into a sea of flames.
"Let's go! We can't stay in this tower. The next target of the Japanese army will definitely be here." Li Guomin said.
"Wait a minute, Commander Shi, I want to ask, do you have any Japanese combat maps in your regiment headquarters?" Zhang Tianhai asked.
"Yes, yes, no matter it is Narita Junichiro's office or the military map in my regiment headquarters, there are marks on it." Shi Weikang was an officer from a military academy, so he certainly understood what Zhang Tianhai meant.
The newly distributed map is so valuable that it can be said to be worth a thousand dollars. As long as they have this map, they can pick a weak point to attack or break through.
It's the same map. In the hands of a shrewd commander, it's a treasure; in the hands of a stupid commander, it's just a piece of grass.
"Okay. Liu Houming, you lead your troops to block here. I'll come as soon as I can." Zhang Tianhai said through gritted teeth. This would increase the hope of thousands of them to break through, so he couldn't help but try hard.
"Yes, group seat!" Liu Houming responded.
Then turn the camera to the other side, the 83rd Army.
"Brothers, charge! We have captured the city head and the city gate. If we can recover Wuhu, everyone will be promoted to two levels!" Deng Longguang shouted. The contribution to the recovery of Wuhu was really great, and he couldn't help but He was not moved.
After hearing the commander's words, these Guangdong officers and soldiers became even more excited. Their morale was so high that they would never return until Wuhu was captured.
Outside Wuhu City at night, more than 5,000 Guangdong officers and soldiers of the 83rd Army wearing gray and blue military uniforms quickly drove towards the smoke-filled south gate of Wuhu. There were still 800 meters left before they could reach the scheduled battle site.
The battle at the top of Wuhu City and inside the city is still fierce. Countless Japanese and puppet troops relied on the terrain to launch firing at the strongholds at the top of the city and below the city.
The bullets that flashed in the dark night hit the bluestone bricks at the top of the city, and then there were sparks and wisps of gunpowder smoke that ignited after friction, which was very pungent.
Looking from a distance, it is ironic that on both sides there are troops wearing gray and blue military uniforms with five-color republican emblems on their heads, fighting as the main force.
At this time, the main force of the Japanese army has not yet come forward, but these puppet troops, who act like cannon fodder, have come forward first. For the Japanese army, every one of their officers and soldiers is an elite, but they must not be wasted like this.
As a result, these puppet troops were reluctantly pushed to the front line of the battlefield.
But the Japanese army didn't do nothing. For example, they launched these 92 infantry cannons and mortars!
"Okay! Reload! Target gate tower, muzzle elevation 50 degrees, three-stage shooting, ready!" A Japanese artillery major stood next to the three 92 infantry cannons and ordered loudly.
Since the artillery brigade of the 18th Division has been transferred to the Sanshan area as an organic unit, the Japanese army can only deploy infantry artillery from the troops under the jurisdiction of the remaining wing in the city to play the role of artillery support.
Under the order of the Japanese artillery major Yokokawa, these Japanese artillerymen who were temporarily transferred quickly began to get busy: loading artillery shells and adjusting the muzzle elevation!
Soon, these artillerymen completed the orders given by the artillery major.
Seeing that these artillerymen had completed their artillery fire preparations, Major Yokokawa waved the triangular flag in his hand and at the same time shouted: "Fire!!!"
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!"
Three 92 infantry cannons fired in unison, with fireworks already erupting from the muzzles. The three shells quickly drew an arc in the night sky, and then hit the city gate tower hard.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Three artillery shells hit the city gate tower, and sparks with the aura of death exploded.
Zhang Tianhai was pushed several meters away by the shock wave of the explosion, and then fell to the ground.
This fall was not a light one. Zhang Tianhai felt that his internal organs were rolling, the scenery in front of him was repeatedly moving and then overlapping, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears.
This feeling was all too familiar to him. It was the same on the battlefield in Shanghai last time. This was the result of being too close to the explosion site.
Fortunately, the debris and shells from the explosion did not hit him.
"Tuanzuo, are you okay?" After realizing something was wrong here, Liu Houming hurried over and helped Zhang Tianhai up.
At this time, Zhang Tianhai's situation finally got better. He took out the military map in his arms and handed it to Liu Houming. He gasped and said, "This military map is a good thing. You have to give it to me." Okay. If you lose it, or if there are any problems, you are the only one I can ask."
"Yes, regimental leader. I promise to complete the mission." Liu Houming promised. Of course he knew the importance of this thing. If it was not important, the regimental leader would not risk his life to rescue this military map.
The close range shooting of the 92 Infantry Artillery is not completely risk-free. For example, if the position is exposed - when the cannon is firing, whether it is the sound of the bombardment or the flashing fireworks in the dark, it can become the most dangerous thing. Obvious goal.
Countless bullets on the city wall flew towards the Japanese 92 infantry cannons.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"puff!"
Some bullets hit the steel plate of the 92 Infantry Cannon, causing sparks; some bullets hit the Japanese soldiers.
The bullet penetrated the Japanese soldier's body and then hit the ground. The scene was very bloody.
However, this was only one of the scenes, and the battle below the city became more intense. Based on the fortifications, the officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment launched a frantic attack on the Japanese and puppet troops who tried to retake the city gate.
Rounds of heavy machine gun bullets were fired from the position under the city gate, and gunpowder smoke filled the entire battlefield!
The officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment had already captured a large number of heavy machine guns. In addition, there were two more heavy machine guns in the fortification bunker under the city gate. The firepower was quite fierce. It almost overwhelmed these Japanese and puppet troops. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
This is an urban offensive and defensive battle, a road that requires the lives of officers and soldiers from both sides!
