Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Gu Changfeng did not lead the team directly to the city wall, as that was unrealistic. The important thing was to clear out the Japanese invaders outside first.

Lu Daya's artillery company did not take action. He was leading his team towards the Japanese in the east, and he had already given instructions to the artillerymen left in the west.

After so many battles, the level of artillery has risen sharply, although its accuracy is slightly worse than that of the Japanese.

But as long as we give it some time, it won't be a problem to destroy the Japanese mountain artillery.

"Everyone, be careful. The Japanese usually place secret sentries on the periphery. Don't fall into their trap."

Wu Mazi, who was taking a detour to the south, gave the order cautiously.

The platoon leader whispered, "Company Commander, there's too much grass here. We have no idea where the Japanese are hiding. Should we go ahead and attack first, while you stay behind and keep an eye on them?"

Wu Mazi patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's fine. Just be careful, the Japs are very accurate with their guns!"

"You've heard of the three-three tactics taught by the special forces, right? Try using them."

The platoon leader nodded, gathered a row of soldiers, whispered a few words, and then dispersed and rushed towards the Japanese.

Wu Mazi pulled the artillery platoon leader over and ordered, "If the Japanese bury the machine gunner later, you are responsible for destroying it for me."

The platoon leader of the third company's artillery platoon was a former subordinate of Zhao Ziqing, belonging to the Central Army, named Ye Guoliang.

She looks very quiet and is only 25 years old. She was a little resentful about being left in the second company, after all, many of her brothers were selected into the special forces.

However, as time went by, he got used to it. He ate well, slept well, and the superiors were also nice, so he felt at ease staying there.

Upon hearing the company commander's instructions, he immediately promised, "Just buy me 30 seconds and I'll definitely kill him!"

Wu Mazi smiled and said, "That's no problem."

At this moment, gunshots suddenly appeared at the scene.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was no heavy machine gun as Wu Mazi had imagined, only the Japanese sentries.

"Counterattack covertly." A platoon leader shouted, aimed at the direction of the Japanese's fire and fired a shot.

The Japanese just fired three consecutive shots, and two soldiers in a row fell down, and one was injured in the arm.

The wounded soldier gritted his teeth, lay on the ground, and began to look for the direction from which the Japanese were shooting.

They were all veterans from the battlefield and their marksmanship was pretty good. They took down the Japanese sentries in just a few shots without any artillery fire.

The Japanese probably thought that it was impossible for anyone to attack them from the rear, so they just posted a few sentries as usual and didn't take it seriously.

However, when gunshots were heard, the Japanese reacted and quickly provided support in the direction of the gunshots.

"Second platoon, third platoon, order the soldiers to charge towards the Japanese." Wu Mazi shouted loudly.

What he feared most was the Japanese ambushing with heavy machine guns. In the past, no soldier was able to withstand such a powerful attack. Now that there were no heavy machine guns, he could rest assured.

Luo Xiong from the fourth company broke through faster, and he didn't have to go through so many twists and turns.

He led the 4th Company and advanced all the way. After several soldiers were killed or injured, they were only a dozen miles away from Qingpu City.

Gu Changfeng's side was even faster. With three big guns and a special forces team as the main attack direction, the firepower was very fierce. In a short while, they killed the Japanese who rushed over to block them.

"Report to the captain, the Chinese are attacking from the west and south, and our soldiers are almost unable to hold on."

The communications soldier rushed into the command center and said.

Lieutenant Colonel Komazawa's expression changed instantly when he heard this, and he muttered, "Where did these Chinese soldiers come from?"

The operations officer thought for a moment and said, "Hasegawa Regiment sent word this morning that a batch of weapons and ammunition had been looted by the Empire. They must have been these Chinese. I didn't expect them to dare to come out."

He was also very angry. If they had not replenished their ammunition in the afternoon, they would not have been able to fight tonight.

"Bakayaro, call for help from the Hasegawa Unit immediately."

Komazawa was at a loss. It was not realistic to ask for help from the brigade headquarters. Most of his soldiers had been sent to attack the city, and now was a critical moment.

Withdrawing troops means that the progress of the siege will be slowed down, and the advantage that has been hard-earned will be lost again.

They only had a small group of soldiers and some civilian staff, so how could they possibly resist?

"Captain, should we send the second squadron back to provide support first? If the Chinese attack us, we will be in danger." The combat staff suggested.

Komazawa gnashed his teeth in hatred and said angrily, "Let Yoshikawa's team take over. The siege troops cannot be changed."

He was betting that the Chinese would not break through so quickly. In his impression, the Chinese's most elite German-equipped division was also defeated by the Empire.

The combat staff had a headache. The Chinese were attacking from two sides. How could a small team of soldiers defeat them?

However, since the captain had given the order, he couldn't say anything else and could only pray that the 47th Regiment would provide support faster.

After receiving the call for assistance, Hasegawa Masanori was silent for a moment, then shouted, "Order the 23rd Battalion to immediately support the rd Regiment in the south, and request air support."

He could imagine what the consequences would be if the Chinese reinforcements attacked from the rear at this time.

The siege lasted for three days, and if we didn't stop it in time, it would easily fail.

He also vaguely thought that the troops that attacked from the rear might be the ones that looted their weapons in the morning!

Thinking about how many weapons and ammunition were stolen, Hasegawa felt a growing bad premonition.

.........

Gu Changfeng and his men advanced at a very fast speed, and the Japanese blockade could not last more than a few minutes.

If it weren't for the complex terrain, they would have been close to the Japanese siege troops by now.

The Japanese couldn't hide in the bunkers, because the rocket launcher was not to be trifled with. The Japanese fortifications couldn't withstand the powerful attack.

After one shot, they were all killed.

"Changfeng, the Japs look down on us too much. There are only a few dozen of us, not even enough to fill our teeth." Liu Dazhuang said contemptuously.

Gu Changfeng ignored him and kept firing, shooting every Japanese soldier who showed up.

Sometimes, just as the bullets arrived, Li Jie's artillery shells arrived, directly blowing the Japanese to death!

Li Jie was so happy to see the rocket launcher used in such a heroic way.

He remembered Gu Changfeng's order that as long as there were Japanese soldiers hiding, or there were more than two of them, he could use the rocket launcher.

How could he, the platoon leader, not be unhappy? He just took action himself.

"Order the first and second companies to start charging." Gu Changfeng ordered the soldiers beside him.

With this adjustment, he has several more people around him, who are responsible for delivering messages.

"Yes, Commander Gu." The soldier immediately bowed and ran back.

In this battle, there was no need for two companies at all, the special forces team took care of it!

Huang Zhengkui received the order and shouted loudly: "Lao Yang, brothers, it's our turn, prepare to charge."

Yang Zhenhua glanced helplessly at Huang Zhengkui and said to the soldiers, "Old soldiers in front, new soldiers on the side, in battle formation, move out."

23rd Wing Temporary Command Headquarters.

"Captain, we have to evacuate. The Chinese have broken through the defense line on the left. Yoshikawa's squad is gone."

The signalmen were more anxious this time.

Upon hearing this, Komazawa ran out of the command center, took out a telescope, and looked at the Chinese soldiers charging from a distance. He was suddenly stunned.

Every Japanese soldier who fought with Gu Changfeng's team was shocked without exception.

The Japs were very arrogant at this time. How could he believe that a small group of Japs would be enough in just a few minutes?

But now it was no longer his turn to disbelieve it, because Gu Changfeng's men were all around him.

The combat staff officer saw this and shouted anxiously, "Everyone evacuate, quickly."

The command center suddenly became chaotic, and more than a dozen civilian staff immediately packed up their things.

However, it was too late. In Colonel Komazawa's opinion, there were still several miles to go, but in the eyes of Gu Changfeng and others, it was only a few minutes.

After Li Jie arrived at his position, he immediately set up the rocket launcher, loaded the ammunition, and "boom!" He fired a shot at the Japanese command post.

Then they continued to fire a few more rounds, and the Japanese temporary command post was suddenly engulfed in flames.

Ten minutes later, Huang Zhengkui shouted speechlessly, "Li Jie, can't you leave us some? We didn't get a single cent."

What could Li Jie say? He just giggled and didn't answer.

Gu Changfeng said indifferently: "Alright, it should be a few high-ranking Japanese officers, it doesn't matter, if they die, they die!"

"Clean it up and see if the devils left anything behind."

In his previous life, these were the murderers of the Nanjing Massacre, and he had no burden at all when killing them.
