"The regiment leader ordered us to launch an attack on the city gate immediately after the gunfire!"
"Commander's order!! After the gunfire, immediately launch an attack on the city gate!!"
As the messengers rushed back and forth, Huang Qisan's attack order was quickly issued to all the departments of the 97th Regiment.
"Xiao Huang, you go and fire the first shot!" Huang Qisan said to a soldier beside him, who was his sharpshooter.
In Huang Qisan's view, this first shot is crucial. If he can hit the enemy with one shot, it will be his first victory - which is a good sign.
"Yes! Sir!" Sharpshooter Xiao Huang responded, and then stepped forward with his rifle. Judging from the movement, it was quite standard.
Soon, sharpshooter Xiao Huang picked a relatively hidden place and aimed at the Japanese army behind a gap in the wall.
"boom!!"
A Hanyang-made gunshot rang out, and a machine gunner behind the wall fell down.
Behind the trenches, countless Cantonese officers and soldiers wearing iron-blue military uniforms began to charge forward. At the same time, countless light machine guns were set up on the trenches and began to fire bullets at the city wall.
Soon, countless bullets began to fly past the wall.
"Oh no! No no!! Enemy attack! Enemy attack~!!"
Many shouts of Japanese military officers rang out from the top of the city, followed by the sharp Japanese sirens.
Soon, the entire city entered a state of war, and the formation was not ordinary tense.
More importantly, the Japanese army did not defend a complete city. They spent a lot of weapons and ammunition to capture this city.
Since the city gate was opened with cannons, it was inevitable that this place would become a "broken city".
On the city walls that were pockmarked by shells, many Japanese soldiers were resisting with simple fortifications built with these sandbags.
Under the superior firepower of the national army, the Japanese army began to suffer casualties gradually.
Such bad news quickly spread to the headquarters in the city.
"It's not good, it's not good. Your Excellency, captain, the enemy has launched an all-out attack!" A Japanese soldier quickly ran into the headquarters and reported to the captain, because this was the squadron leader's instruction.
After the war started, there were more stray bullets on the front line. In order to prevent the city's defense system from being paralyzed, Tanaka Yijun chose to return to the headquarters to direct the operation instead of going to the front line in person.
"There is only one west gate, so launch an all-out attack? Is the enemy bullying us because we have a small number of people? Or do they think our city has no defense capabilities?!" Tanaka Yijun said angrily.
"It must be the Chinese cavalry who came outside the city to spy on intelligence! If it weren't for these soldiers, they would never know that our city is short of men and horses!" A Japanese sergeant next to him interjected.
"That's definitely the case. Now the enemy has taken advantage of our lack of men and horses to launch such an unscrupulous attack! It's still too hasty... We should have brought some Imperial Alliance troops over." Tanaka Yijun gently supported himself That aching brain, it is true that he usually doesn't look down on these people who have forgotten their ancestors and only know them as wimps who just make a living for a day, but at this time, these people here can more or less help them maintain something. Isn’t it order? It’s not as stretched as it is now.
"Your Excellency Captain, what should we do now?" asked the Japanese sergeant next to him.
No matter what, he still has to face such a cruel fact now.
"What else can we do? Send a report to Colonel Iizuka Kunigoro and ask his troops to speed up their march! In addition, transfer twenty soldiers from each of the other three gates to support the battle here first! "Tanaka Yijun has always believed that his troops are the most elite troops, so he dared to bring a large group over like this.
Just come over if he comes. The key is that those puppet troops haven't been brought over yet. This is the most important thing.
"Hai!" the Japanese sergeant responded. Obviously he was very trusted by Lieutenant Colonel Tanaka Yijun.
"Go back and tell your squadron leader to hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon!" Tanaka Yijun said in a deep voice.
"Hai!!" said the Japanese soldier who ran down from the city wall to ask for help.
…
Outside the city, the offensive formation of the Cantonese army was as turbulent and surging as a wave.
However, the Japanese army was not a vegetarian after all. They were soldiers carefully trained by Japanese communists. Soon, the national army began to suffer casualties.
In addition to the charging formation, they also carried ladders.
Whenever a soldier falls down among the Guangdong army officers and soldiers, the comrades behind him will take his place and rush forward carrying the ladder.
Their goal is to capture the west city gate!
…
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the 98th Regiment in the North Gate also launched a fierce attack on Jiujiang County under the order of their regiment commander.
At this point, Jiujiang County is very short of troops.
The west gate and the north gate were both in full swing, but only the east gate and the south gate were silent.
"Squadron leader, we should be safe now, right? The Chinese army only launched a fierce attack on the North Gate and West Gate, but not our area. Could this be their trick?" A Japanese soldier in charge of guarding the South Gate The squad leader spoke to the squadron leader next to him.
After thinking about it carefully, the squadron leader said: "China's culture has always been extensive and profound, especially their art of war, which is indeed worth learning from. This may be their so-called encirclement of three and one missing! Only in this way can we be tempted To escape, it’s a pity that they underestimated our Imperial Japanese Army, our sunrise warriors will not become deserters so easily!”
"Yo Xi, what the squadron leader said is what Ming Ji thinks. They still underestimated our sunrise warriors." The Japanese squad leader was flattering the squadron leader.
"There seems to be no movement at our south gate. According to my observation, the enemy troops in front of our south gate and east gate are the Central Army of the China Army, while the enemy troops at the west gate and north gate are the Central Army of the China Army." It's a miscellaneous army, I don't know which unit it is." The Japanese squadron leader said meaningfully.
"So, what the squadron leader said is very reasonable. There are always many factions in the Chinese army, and there is no unity. I'm afraid this is an opportunity for the China Central Army to consume the Chinese motley army, right?" The squad leader followed the squadron leader's words. Xia said, his face full of flattery.
"This is very possible. Based on my understanding of China, this thing is bound to happen." The Japanese squadron leader's face was full of pride, and he was obviously very comfortable with this flattery.
"Souka..." Before the Japanese squad leader could continue to flatter his squadron leader, something unexpected happened.
"boom!!!"
There was a loud noise, and the entire wall became crumbling.
It was as terrifying as encountering an eight-magnitude earthquake.
"Nani?! What is going on? Did these Chinese Central Army launch a sneak attack on us?" The face of the Japanese squadron leader changed drastically, and his previous pride was gone.
