Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 201: The End of the Battle at Zhonghua Gate

"Bakayaloo, you are all a bunch of idiots. You have brought shame upon the Imperial Army."

Since they failed to capture the city even with poison gas bombs, Obof was naturally very angry. He looked at his two commanders and started cursing.

After more than ten minutes of constant spitting, Yamamoto Shigetoshi and Endo Torapira felt a strong smell of death!

Obof wanted to draw his sword and chop these two idiots to pieces several times. It was such a good opportunity, but they missed it.

"Brigade, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, those Chinese are back again."

Yamamoto felt a little aggrieved. If they hadn't been suppressed by heavy firepower and suffered such heavy casualties, how could they have failed?

"Baga, those are all excuses. You're not a warrior at work. Why don't you die on the charge?"

Okubo became even more furious and completely ignored Yamamoto's explanation. He walked over and gave him a good beating.

In the temporary command center, Okubo attacked Yamamoto from both sides, and soon his cheeks were red and swollen, which frightened Endo, who was also the commander of the regiment, so much that he dared not even fart.

Yamamoto was extremely regretful at this time, and blamed himself for saying such a thing, which directly caused the brigade commander to become furious.

This slap was a solid one.

A few minutes later, Obof calmed down a little and said coldly to the two captains.

"You guys have to fight in person this time. If you can't take the city, you'll have to commit seppuku!"

Things had come to this point, so Yamamoto and Endo naturally didn't dare to say anything more. They bowed deeply with their legs together, shouting "Hi"

The battle had to continue after all, and by this time, the brigade commander Obof had completely run out of patience.

He simply sent in all the available soldiers, intending to end the battle in one fell swoop.

There were only a few people on the city wall. He couldn't understand why he couldn't win with several times the number of troops.

The eastern battlefield also entered a truce at this time.

Due to the retreat of Okuyasu's brigade, they were forced to retreat as well, which made Major General Mitsusaburo Akiyama so angry that he cursed Okuyasu for his incompetence.

But there was no other way. If they dared to continue attacking, Gu Changfeng would not mind using heavy machine guns to deal with them.

Akiyama Mitsuzaburo naturally also saw the miserable state of the Okubo Brigade, and he did not dare to bring bad luck upon himself.

Although the two can cooperate, they belong to two different brigades at the same time. How could he not be happy if he could minimize the losses?

"Changfeng, why are you here?" Liao Guangyi asked bitterly.

The entire regiment had been severely damaged by the Japanese poison gas bombs and artillery, and it was only with the reinforcements from the rear that it was able to withstand the offensive.

In fact, Gu Changfeng's subordinates were responsible for even more areas, at least the areas around the city gate and the west side.

Liao Guangyi was only responsible for the east side, and the losses were so great that he felt ashamed.

"What's the damage? Is everything okay?" Seeing that the Japanese had called a truce, Gu Changfeng was worried about the situation on Liao Guangyi's side, so he ran over directly.

Liao Guangyi shook his head and said, "If we continue this offensive, we won't be able to hold on until tomorrow."

"Now my 336th Regiment only has about 300 people left, and the commander's only reinforced regiment has only 1800 people left."

"Now the commander has no more troops at his disposal except for a battalion of guards."

Gu Changfeng understood and looked at Liao Guangyi and said, "If we can't hold on any longer, then we won't fight anymore. The 88th Regiment of the 568th Division has also suffered heavy losses. If we continue this battle, we will all be crippled. There's no need!"

Liao Guangyi agreed in his heart, but still said: "This matter requires the decision of the military commander. Let's see if we can still hold on."

Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly and sighed in his heart. After saying hello, he went straight to the city gate. He wanted to see how many weapons and ammunition he had just collected.

Fortunately, the Japanese did not take action, otherwise the special forces would be in danger.

"Brother Gu, we just got six Type 6 rifles, two heavy machine guns, 238 grenades, and over 1000 rounds of various bullets."

When Xiaowu saw Gu Changfeng asking, he directly reported the number.

It’s not a lot, but it’s better than nothing.

In the past, Gu Changfeng would look down on these things, but now that the rich have become poor farmers, there is nothing he can do...

Half an hour later, the Japanese soldiers gathered again.

Led by the two regimental commanders Yamamoto and Endo, they launched a final fierce attack.

It is indeed the last time.

The Japanese vanguards all had death belts wrapped around their heads, ready to be loyal to their emperor.

The two regiment commanders, Yamamoto and Endo, were forced into a desperate situation. They had to either capture the city wall or die.

There is no doubt about that. If anyone has to die, it will be the subordinate soldiers who will go first. It is not easy for them to climb to this position, and they certainly don’t want to end up with a disemboweled stomach or death in battle!

Boom...Boom...Boom!

The few remaining shells of the Japanese 128th Brigade whizzed towards the city wall.

After eight rounds of artillery fire, the Japanese had reached 500 meters from the city wall.

"Kill the chicken and give it to me."

At the roar of the Japanese front-line squadron leader, a squadron of Japanese soldiers launched a desperate charge towards the city wall!

It is truly brave and heroic, and truly tragic and heroic, but in Gu Changfeng's opinion, it is just that.

The shelling just now did cause a lot of casualties to each company, but as long as most of the firepower is still there, the Japanese will have no chance of breaking through here.

Dadada... Dadada.

The machine gun opened fire again, attacking the Japanese soldier with a white cloth wrapped around his head.

"Target those guys in diapers, kill them first."

Huang Zhengkui roared and fired a few long bursts from the heavy machine gun in his hand. Three or four Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

As the Japanese caught up from behind, the number of soldiers killed in battle in each company on the city wall gradually increased!

This time, all the remaining battalions of the Japanese were sent out to once again demonstrate to the companies what a wave attack is.

"Don't save any more grenade launcher shells, use them all up."

"Grenades, throw them all out."

The company commanders issued orders one after another.

There were too many devils, and under the leadership of the devils from the Death Squadron, the special forces guarding the city gate gradually couldn't hold on any longer.

Colonel Yasuhei Maruoka, who was in charge of the eastern battlefield, saw that the city gate was about to be breached, and immediately ordered several squadrons to turn around and besiege the special forces at the city gate together.

Major General Mitsusaburo Akiyama, who had been watching the battle, saw the situation and responded immediately, directly ordering the artillery to bombard the city walls.

This behavior of disregarding the casualties of one's own people made Gu Changfeng feel extremely pressured.

Rumble!

Not long after, the hole in the city wall was blasted open by a shell, and a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the city wall.

Da da da.

The sound of fierce gunfire rang out at the city gate, and the battle for the city gate began.

The special forces retreated to the fortifications inside the city, and several heavy machine guns blocked the Japanese from entering the city!

The team members who returned to the fortifications followed closely behind and poured bullets at the enemy together. The powerful firepower network caused great losses to the Japanese who had just entered the city.

After suffering dozens of casualties, they quickly used grenade launchers and shells whizzed towards the special forces.

The special forces' artillerymen naturally did not want to be outdone and immediately fired back.

Rumble!

After several explosions, the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground again at the city gate.

"Notify the commander, Captain Liao, the Japs are going crazy, prepare to evacuate."

Gu Changfeng shouted at the soldiers beside him.

At this point, he was no longer willing to fight, not to mention that this style of fighting would certainly not last long, especially since it would be better to retreat into the city than to sacrifice in vain.

Soon, Liao Guangyi on the east side received the news, and then Liao Lei who was watching the game also received the news.

"Listen to Changfeng and withdraw the troops first."

Liao Lei thought for a moment and decided to follow Gu Changfeng's wishes.

There is no point in holding on now. The gap has been opened, and as time goes by, the gap will only get bigger and bigger because of the Japanese.

When that time comes, what they will face is being attacked from both sides, and Liao Lei is very clear about this.
