Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

The defensive fortifications of Chunhua Town are almost the same as those of Huxiu. The tunnels are very deep and can completely submerge an entire person.

The shooting points were all individually dug slopes. When the Japanese bombarded, the soldiers ran into the cat holes or anti-artillery holes.

This also resulted in the tactics that the Japanese were proud of being almost useless when facing the Chunhua garrison.

Next, Gu Changfeng's subordinates began to take over the position.

In fact, the number of personnel in the four companies has been sharply reduced, but a large number of Type 4 rifles were captured.

The firepower of each company did not decrease, but instead increased.

The main reason was that the Yagi Regiment had been captured before, and Gu Changfeng had a large reserve of bullets, so he was not at all panicked when facing the surging Japanese troops.

Boom!

Da da da.

Faced with the Japanese soldiers shooting from two hundred meters away, the soldiers from each company immediately began to suppress them with firepower.

The appearance of heavy machine guns instantly increased the casualties of the Japanese soldiers on the position.

The Japanese were closer at this time, so the snipers and heavy machine gunners from each company ran directly to the second line of defense and fired.

Unless the Japanese use grenade launchers, they are in almost no danger.

As for the heavy artillery, the entire artillery regiment was destroyed, and the Japanese only had some mountain artillery and field artillery left.

Yoshizumi Yoshisuke also had to guard against Chunhua Town's heavy artillery, so he didn't use it at all.

Of course, that was before I suffered any loss.

In the afternoon, Yoshizumi Ryosuke led his troops to attack Chunhua Town, which was very arrogant.

As a result, near dusk, Wang Yaowu attacked them with heavy artillery, which completely stunned them.

This also meant that the Japanese soldiers had no choice but to fight for their lives.

Suoshu Town.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke looked at Akiyama Yoshiyoshi with cold eyes.

"Akiyama-kun, is this how you surrounded Hushu Town?"

After saying that, he looked at Isaichiro, the captain of the corps.

"Isa-kun, you're saying you were held back on the mountain by hundreds of people, right?"

He really couldn't understand why nearly 6 people besieged Huxu and actually severely damaged the reinforcements of the th Division. How could such a stupid person appear under his command?

"Division, Your Excellency the Division Commander, these Chinese are too cunning!"

Isaiichiro said nervously.

As for Akiyama Yoshiyoshi and Mori Goroku, they didn't dare to say a word at all.

They also felt that this cooperation was a piece of shit and that no matter how much they explained it, it would be meaningless.

"Haha!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke laughed angrily.

"Isa-kun, are you really from the Imperial Officer Academy?"

"Is this the Imperial Officer Academy's way of training people like you?"

This question made Izo, the captain of the corps, blush instantly, and he could only bow deeply and apologize.

Looking back, he felt very regretful. He was led by the nose and did not kill many enemies but suffered heavy losses himself.

In the end, I lost the person. Who can I blame for this?

Yoshizumi Ryosuke was so upset by the stupidity of his subordinates that he cried. An entire regiment of the 6th Division was crippled, and this matter was definitely not over yet.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke felt that everything was going wrong since he arrived at the Nanjing battlefield. Not only was he a burden to his teammates, but his own artillery regiment was also gone.

In a few days, when his reputation of losing several battles in a row gets out, I guess even he, the division commander, will be in trouble. He is really incompetent.

"Akiyama, Isa, now that the culprit has entered Chunhua Town, the battle will be taken over by you."

"I have only one request, to annihilate the Chunhua garrison, leaving no one alive."

Yoshizumi Ryosuke ordered fiercely.

Yoshiyoshi Akiyama and Isa Ichiro looked at each other and bowed again in agreement.

They had been fooled by Gu Changfeng and had strong desires for revenge, so this was a good opportunity.

.........

For Gu Changfeng, it doesn’t matter who goes up. He must break out after fighting tonight, otherwise the ammunition will be used up.

He doesn't like fighting a battle that costs lives. Without any trump cards in his hand, he feels very nervous!

"Commander Gu, the division commander wants you to come over."

Soldiers from the 51st Division found Gu Changfeng who was being sniped.

"Did you say anything?" Gu Changfeng asked doubtfully.

It's only been half an hour, and we're having a great time killing people. Why ask him to do anything?

Seeing the soldier shaking his head, Gu Changfeng could only hand the rifle to his deputy and follow the soldier to the command center.

Everyone in the command center had a solemn expression. This was Gu Changfeng's first feeling after entering.

"Changfeng, please sit down first." Wang Yaowu glanced at Gu Changfeng who came in and said casually.

Then continue to listen to people's analysis.

After listening for a while, Gu Changfeng suddenly lost interest.

In fact, it was nothing, except that the Japanese troops increased again, making everyone feel a little panicked.

Just analyzing the Japanese's next move.

This thing has no effect on Gu Changfeng. The only threats the Japanese pose to him are air strikes and heavy artillery.

Air raids at night were impossible now, and the Japanese artillery regiment had been destroyed by the artillery company, so he had nothing to worry about.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way." After more than ten minutes, Wang Yaowu ended the meeting.

After everyone left, Wang Yaowu said to Gu Changfeng.

"You're right. We should evacuate as well. We can't hold this place."

Gu Changfeng laughed and said, "Given the terrain of Chunhua Town, there's no need to hold on, and there's no need to fight the devils!"

"As long as we have a chance to destroy the enemy's remaining strength, the battle will still be in Nanjing."

Wang Yaowu nodded slightly, then said seriously, "Changfeng, what are your thoughts on the Battle of Nanjing?"

"We can't hold it." Gu Changfeng said directly.

Wang Yaowu sighed and said, "I also feel that we can't hold it, but now we have to."

"Nanjing is the capital and the location of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum. We have reasons to defend it."

Gu Changfeng agreed with these two reasons, but he didn't have a good impression of Tang Shengzhi.

After thinking for a while, he repeated what he had reminded Liao Guangyi before.

Historically, if Tang Shengzhi had not suddenly ordered a retreat, Nanjing would not have fallen so quickly.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians in Jinling City were also killed.

After hearing Gu Changfeng's words, Wang Yaowu's expression suddenly became serious and he stared at Gu Changfeng closely.

After a while, he said, "You are a talented person, but don't say that again."

"Commander Tang is still the highest commander in Jinling City. It's not right for you to slander him like this."

Before, he thought Gu Changfeng was a good fighter and a brave one, but now he found that this kid was also outspoken towards his own people, which made him very helpless.

"I've already told Commander Liao of the 21st Army about this. Believe it or not, but don't regret it when the time comes."

Gu Changfeng didn't take it seriously. As long as he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

It's just that he has to stay and kill more devils at this time, otherwise he would have run away to other places to build a base.

"Chief Liao also knows?" Wang Yaowu was puzzled. He didn't expect that Liao Lei also knew about it. The most important thing was that no news of it had leaked out.

This made him more confused. What did they want to do?

"My Master Wang, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back to the battlefield."

Gu Changfeng didn't want to talk about this anymore. He might as well earn some points if he had the time.

"You kid, we haven't talked about business yet."

Wang Yaowu shook his head, afraid that Gu Changfeng would do something weird again, and spoke directly.

"The Japanese are unlikely to stop tonight and will break out at 6: AM sharp. Our unit has received orders to withdraw from Guanghua Gate."

Gu Changfeng was originally planning to break out and leave tomorrow, so this was a perfect opportunity and he nodded in agreement.

"Will you stay with us next time?" Wang Yaowu asked.

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "I'll see when the time comes. I guess I'll have to go back to General Liao's place to garrison."

"Guanghua Gate isn't far from Zhonghua Gate, so let's help each other when the time comes!"

In this situation, forget about any ambush, we can only fight a defensive battle.

"Okay, if you have something good to offer, just think of me."

Wang Yaowu had no objection to this matter. Gu Changfeng's troops originally belonged to the 21st Army. Now they have already gained a great advantage. It would not be good if they were greedy anymore!
