Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 194: Battle of Zhonghua Gate 8

Unlike the miserable situation of the Japs, Gu Changfeng was very happy, even though he had just experienced a bombardment.

"Changfeng, we have a good harvest this time." Huang Zhengkui was very happy with his big yellow teeth.

"Don't waste time, just count."

Although the harvest was good, the Japanese had already attacked the city, and Gu Changfeng was in no mood to joke with Huang Zhengkui.

"That's right, Lao Huang, hurry up."

Except for Yang Zhenhua, several company commanders were on the city wall, waiting for Huang Zhengkui's number.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, they couldn't help but urge him on.

Huang Zhengkui knew that he had angered everyone, so he didn't dare to hide it anymore and reported the amount directly.

"This time we harvested 457 Type 2000 rifles, over 316 rounds of various types of ammunition, and Japanese melon grenades."

"8 light and heavy machine guns, 12 grenade launchers, 65 artillery shells, and 18 pistols."

Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "Although it's not as much as before, the current situation is already pretty good."

I feel like I’ve lost out when I think about it. I always feel like I was too generous in the past!

Wu Mazi sighed and said, "I used to think we had no shortage of ammunition, but now I'm so happy about these little things. Sigh."

Only those who don't run a household know how expensive firewood and rice are. Only after experiencing this war of attrition did he understand that it is indeed difficult to fight a battle without replenishment.

Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "After the battle of Nanjing, I will replenish your supplies."

His points are constantly increasing, and he does have the confidence.

After the battle here is over, he plans to change the map and cause trouble for the Japanese. That will be fun then.

Luo Xiong looked at everyone and said with a smile, "I just like hearing what Commander Gu said. It's really encouraging."

"Ha ha!"

As soon as Luo Xiong said this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, go and command the battle!" Gu Changfeng said, leading the way to the city wall.

At this time, Zhou Qianli was distributing weapons to the new recruits, so there was no need for him to do anything. He could just go up the city wall and kill the Japanese.

There weren't too many fancy things on the city wall, and Gu Changfeng's men had a long enough shooting range.

There was no need to let the Japanese get within 200 meters, or even 50 meters. That was not what they did.

During the long battle, Gu Changfeng's men had been crushing the Japs at a distance most of the time.

Of course, this is not without disadvantages, such as the Japanese artillery bombardment.

But even if this is not the case, the Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery must be used, and there will be no hindrance.

On the contrary, it was this kind of fighting that caused many Japanese soldiers to suffer casualties on the way to the charge!

In addition, with the snipers from each company killing each other, no matter how accurate the Japanese artillery was, it could not cause any damage to the soldiers from each company. After all, most of them had already died on the way to the charge!

"Shuanzi, there are two sneaky-looking Japanese soldiers at the three o'clock position. It's obvious they're up to no good. Kill them."

Squad leader Niu Er and Shuanzi were lucky enough to survive until the Jinling battlefield.

Even during the last breakout, the two were only slightly injured. After returning to Zhonghuamen and bandaging them, they recovered in a few days.

It is worth mentioning that the two of them are cooperating more and more tacitly.

The sniper Shuanzi was even better, with at least eight out of ten bullets hitting the Japanese.

You know, there are too many uncertainties in their shooting, some are far and some are close, and considering the Japanese's combat skills, this result is already very good.

If Gu Changfeng knew about this, he would definitely bring out another big gun.

Having an extra long-range sniper is much better than using the Japanese Type 38 rifle!

boom!

A bullet was fired from the Type 500 rifle, killing him instantly at a distance of more than meters.

Private Sawa couldn't figure it out even in his dreams. He just wanted to survive with Matsuo.

Now he became the representative of a cunning person in Niu Er's mouth and was shot dead by Shuanzi.

Sawa was shot dead, and Matsuo Taro behind him was so scared that he stood there in a daze.

Saba's blood splattered in Matsuo Taro's mouth, making him feel like a disaster was about to happen.

As if stimulated, Matsuo Taro stood there for a moment, then his face turned red instantly, and he roared "Bakayarō" and rushed towards the city wall.

Without any surprise, the bolt was loaded again and one shot sent Matsuo Taro back to their hometown in Japan.

I don’t know if Matsuo Taro would regret coming to China before his death, but this is the fate of the invaders, there is no surprise.

"Shuanzi, you can do it. I will report to the platoon leader later."

"I feel like you can handle the big guns like Commander Gu and his men."

Niu Er said excitedly that he had seen Shuanzi's performance since he first joined and entered the battlefield.

It can be said that his growth rate is amazing, and even veterans like him admire him very much.

"Brother Niu, are you serious? Can I really hold a gun like that?"

Shuanzi was naturally very happy to hear the squad leader say this. He had long envied Zhao Ziqing and others, and had been working hard to get closer to them.

He also wanted to be like Zhao Ziqing and the others, holding a big gun and killing the enemy a thousand meters away. The feeling made him excited.

"Of course it's true. Fight well, and I'll report to the platoon leader later."

Niu Er didn't dare to guarantee it, but he believed that with Shuanzi's strength, he could definitely get the big gun.

Shuanzi nodded heavily and said, "I will try my best."

At this moment, he looked at the devils and his expression changed again, as if they were just NPCs who were giving him merits.

Of course, Gu Changfeng would not pay attention to the thoughts of his soldiers. There were too many things to do, and he could not pay attention to people like Shuanzi for the time being.

The battlefield was calm at this time, and both sides suffered casualties under the Japanese artillery bombardment.

However, it is obvious that the Japanese are at a disadvantage, and Gu Changfeng and his men still have a clear advantage on the city wall.

Apart from the Japanese artillery bombardment, it was almost impossible for the Japanese to cause any harm to them.

This also caused Endo Torapi to become angry again.

"Bagayalu, shoot down those Chinese snipers for me."

Endo Torappei's heart-wrenching roar startled Yamamoto Shigetoshi who was standing next to him.

"Endo-kun, control your anger." Yamamoto Shigetoshi said lightly, and then continued.

"It's just a few casualties of warriors. What we need is to capture this city wall."

Although he felt sad, it would not be good for him to have so many casualties.

But he was more concerned about the goal. As long as he could take the city gate, the casualties of his subordinates would be just a number to him.

You have to know that their country may not have anything else, but it still has a lot of soldiers.

There is also a prerequisite here, which is to complete the task assigned by the division commander, otherwise his end will not be good.

If it really comes to that, the Japanese military court will be no joke.

At the same time, Gu Changfeng on the city wall received the news and immediately turned around and went to the 21st Army Command.

"Commander, is there any news from Yuhuatai?"

Gu Changfeng has been waiting for news from Yuhuatai today, just to get rid of more devils at one time.

Liao Lei nodded and said, "The 88th Division just sent news that the Japanese attacked two battalions at once. They feel this is an opportunity."

"Okay, give me the position and I'll let my artillery take action." Gu Changfeng said directly.

"Aren't you afraid of the Japanese artillery regiment?" Liao Lei looked at the anxious Gu Changfeng and couldn't help but remind him.

Gu Changfeng said nonchalantly, "As long as the Japs don't react within ten minutes, we'll just let them destroy the tanks once the shells are fired."

As long as the artillery is preserved, he can exchange some Katyushas for them at any time later.

"Okay! Just be prepared, kid."

Gu Changfeng himself didn't feel sorry for her, so Liao Lei naturally had nothing to say.

Next, Gu Changfeng, who had obtained the specific location, ran directly to the artillery company.

After seeing Lu Daya, he directly ordered: "You only have ten minutes. After firing two rounds of artillery shells, evacuate immediately."

"Use the heavy artillery to destroy the Japanese artillery squadron outside the city. I've been putting up with it for a long time."

"Leave it to us!" Lu Daya said excitedly, and said to the nearby artillery: "Brothers, it's our turn!"

Lu Daya was also waiting. All the mortar shells were used up, and this was the only trump card they had left.

Seeing the fierce fighting among the companies, they could only sit in the camp and watch the show, which naturally made them feel unhappy.
