Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

At the temporary Japanese command post outside the city, Major General Okubo looked indifferently at the logistics staff officer Wakisaka Jiro and gave orders.

"Send the secret weapon over. It's time to take down this city wall."

"Hi!" Jiro Wakisaka put his legs together, bowed deeply, and then left the command center.

The two captains, Yamamoto Shigetoshi and Endo Torapira, looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock.

Obviously, there was a reason why the brigade commander Obof came here in person. Even his two regiment commanders had kept the secret weapon a secret.

"Sir, Brigade Commander, what is the secret weapon?" Yamamoto asked bravely.

Opauv sneered and said, "At this point, there's no need to hide it from you."

He paused and said with some pride, "The commander of the siege division has prepared poison gas bombs this time, and the wind direction is just right now."

Yamamoto's heart skipped a beat.

All divisions are now short of supplies, and poison gas bombs are not readily available.

If he had this secret weapon before, he would not have made such a huge sacrifice at this small city gate.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is wise. It looks like we can take down the city gate." Yamamoto boasted with a smile.

Endo Torapi also echoed, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, no matter how tenacious these Chinese on the city wall are, they will all die in the face of the Empire's biological weapons!"

"Yoshi." Obof nodded with satisfaction and gave orders to the two squadron commanders.

"Yamamoto, Endo, you two can go now."

"Remember, for the glory of the Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor."

"Hi!" Yamamoto and Endo bowed one after another.

With the poison gas bombs, the two men's confidence returned.

whoosh…

More than a dozen poison gas bombs flew through the air, drew arcs and landed on the city wall. In an instant, puffs of light yellow smoke rose from the wall.

Lu Feng's face turned pale and he shouted loudly.

"The Japanese are using poison gas bombs. Hurry up and use some wet clothes to cover your mouth and nose, and keep your eyes shut."

After Lu Feng finished shouting, he immediately took off the kettle from his body, quickly poured the water on the towel he carried with him, and covered his mouth and nose.

However, some people have already been affected. Poison gas bombs are too lethal.

If you inhale more, you will get sick soon.

A minute or two later, the slower soldiers had fallen on the city wall due to poisoning.

As the second round of poison gas bombs from the Japanese army hit the city wall, yellow smoke suddenly filled the air and the soldiers' coughs rang out one after another.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the 568th Regiment were already prepared, otherwise the entire city defense battle would have almost come to an end in just a short while.

The Japanese soldiers outside the city took advantage of this opportunity to attack the city walls.

After more than ten minutes, the soldiers of the 568th Regiment suffered heavy casualties.

Of the reinforced battalion of over a thousand men, less than half of the combatants were left.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the poison gas bombs disappeared as quickly as they appeared, and the soldiers of the 568th Regiment managed to hold on.

"The devils are coming, fight them for me and avenge our brothers."

Lu Feng tied a wet towel around his mouth and nose, roared, picked up a machine gun and fired a volley of bullets at the Japanese.

The sound of machine guns awakened the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the 568th Regiment. They followed suit, tied wet cloths behind their heads, and fired their guns in the direction of the Japanese attack.

As the southern gate of Jinling City, the importance of Zhonghua Gate is self-evident.

However, under the attack of the artillery battalion of the Okubo Brigade, the entire city gate seemed to be crumbling.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng, who could no longer hold on, could only send someone to call Gu Changfeng for support.

In just a few hours, more than two-thirds of the 568th Regiment were killed in battle. This result made Lu Feng very ashamed.

Seeing Gu Changfeng on the city wall, Lu Feng said ashamedly: "Captain Gu, we..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Changfeng interrupted, "Captain Lu, I've heard everything. You've worked hard, go down and rest first!"

Although he returned to the camp, he did not rest and kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield.

He was also shocked when he received the report from the soldiers. He didn't expect that when Lu Feng took over, he would block the knife for him.

Otherwise, he would have no good way to deal with the poison gas bomb.

But now it’s useless for the Japanese to use poison gas bombs. The soldiers in each company are prepared and are not panicking at all.

Lu Feng opened his mouth, sighed helplessly, turned around and ordered the soldiers to evacuate the battlefield.

There were a lot of wounded soldiers, and their miserable appearance made Gu Changfeng secretly frightened. It was conceivable how fierce the battle of the 568th Regiment was.

"Order the machine gunners of each company to push the Japanese back."

"Damn it! The Japanese attacked the city and used poison gas bombs."

Gu Changfeng cursed angrily and entered the position with a rifle.

Da da da.

Bang bang bang!

Boom boom boom!

The sounds of grenades, machine guns, and Type 38 rifles appeared on the battlefield.

As Gu Changfeng's men took over the city wall, the front squadron of the Japanese army that had approached the city gate was instantly suppressed and unable to raise their heads.

"Bakayarō, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor and the holy war, kill the chicken."

A Japanese squadron leader roared angrily, then charged towards the city gate with his gun in hand.

Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers shouted and followed their squadron leader.

The special forces guarding the city gate were very happy. They had just taken over and were planning to take revenge on the Japanese.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers charging towards him, he jumped out of the doorway and fought with them with his Type 99 rifle.

The special forces had quite a few Type 99 light rifles, and the distance was only a few dozen meters, so they knocked down more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the first moment of their attack.

Naturally, the Japanese's shooting skills were still very accurate, and the special forces also suffered four or five casualties.

However, as the team members left the city one by one, the Japanese soldiers under the city wall were quickly defeated, leaving behind a pile of corpses and fleeing in panic.

"The firepower squad, be on alert. Everyone else, pick up your weapons quickly." Xiao Wu shouted.

Weapons and ammunition were already in serious shortage, and even though it was risky, Xiaowu, the platoon leader, still made this decision.

With seven or eight M60 heavy machine guns on the city wall and five or six Type heavy machine guns for suppression, the risk of the city gate falling was finally safely avoided.

Of course, there is another point, the sniping by Gu Changfeng and Zhao Ziqing.

In just over ten minutes, no less than a hundred Japanese soldiers died at their hands. If they didn't retreat, they would be left behind.

Seeing that all the Japanese outside the city had retreated, Xiao Wu decided to go all out and gave a direct order.

"Everyone, disperse. Collect all the weapons on the battlefield and bring back all the bullets. Don't make any noise."

There are more than 160 special forces, and more than half of them have left the city, except for the machine gunners on guard.

When the others heard the order, they quickly put their guns behind their backs and began to clean up the battlefield.

Xiaowu is very brave. If the Japanese bombard at this time, the special forces will be in trouble.

Gu Changfeng also saw this situation on the city wall. He wanted to stop it, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

He understood Xiaowu's approach. If they continued fighting like this, they would be risky. It would be better to take a gamble now while it was still dark.
