Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Wang Yaowu, who was on the Qingpu city wall, watched for a while and decisively ordered his troops to go out of the city and counterattack.

Although he did not receive any response from the reinforcements outside the city, such opportunities were rare, and he would not let it go if he could kill the Japanese outside the city.

Gao Ling hesitated for a moment, then said, "Commander, should we wait? It's getting dark, and we'll be easily ambushed by the Japanese if we leave the city."

It was already past 6 o'clock, and it gets dark early in winter. What Gao Ling said made sense.

The main thing is that if the Japanese hide their squadron and ambush, then Qingpu South City will be in danger.

Wang Yaowu thought about this, gritted his teeth, and insisted: "Never mind, the city defense mission is almost over anyway. I'll take a gamble. If I can kill these devils, it will also relieve the hatred in my heart."

Wang Yaowu fought in the Battle of Shanghai from the beginning to the end, so how could he be a person of slow temper?

"Okay!" Gao Ling had no choice but to do as his superior said.

It is true that the combat staff has to put forward his own suggestions, but the military chief is still Wang Yaowu.

Now that the decision has been made, he can't say anything more.

The battle outside the city was intense, and Gu Changfeng had no place to vent his anger. He didn't expect that Luo Xiong's impulsiveness would prolong the entire war.

By now, the Japanese reinforcements had arrived and the two sides began to stalemate.

Of course, as long as Gu Changfeng and the others are given time, victory will definitely be on his side!

He is now afraid that the Japanese in the east of the city will provide support at all costs, which will put his team in trouble.

Moreover, there is another point. He has no confidence in the National Army. He has heard a lot of stories about the National Army betraying their teammates.

This also led to the fact that when Zhou Qianli sent someone to inquire, he only had one sentence, "Don't worry about them, each fight their own."

If he knew that it was Wang Yaowu who was guarding the city, he would not have said that!

On the battlefield, Luo Xiong had just killed a Japanese soldier with his bayonet when Wu Mazi grabbed him and shouted, "Lao Luo, quickly take the brothers to retreat, the Japanese reinforcements are here!"

Luo Xiong was shocked and looked up. He saw his soldiers falling to the ground one after another, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Wu Mazi grew impatient and shouted angrily, "Hurry up! While Commander Gu and the others are holding us back, retreat immediately."

Luo Xiong suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly to evacuate.

.........

Masanori Hasegawa in the east of the city was also paying attention to the situation on the battlefield in the south of the city.

He had not expected the battle to turn out like this, especially with the support of the flying squadron, the Third Squadron suffered such heavy losses. Even the captain was so angry that he vomited blood. He now had no place to vent his anger.

"Request support from the brigade headquarters immediately, as quickly as possible." The worried Masanori Hasegawa also issued an order for help.

He was afraid that he could not capture Qingpu City, and he was even more afraid that the entire battlefield would get out of control and implicate him, so even if he had to face punishment from his superiors, he had to control the situation.

"Sir, Captain, should we halt the siege and focus our efforts on the southern battlefield? Once we've eliminated these Chinese outside the city, we can then coordinate with our reinforcements to launch a full-scale attack on the city."

The operations staff suggested.

Upon hearing this, Hasegawa Masanori said nothing and closed his eyes in deep thought.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Order the First Battalion to leave one squadron behind to continue the siege, and the other infantry squadrons to immediately support the southern battlefield."

The gap in the south has been opened. Hasegawa Masanori didn't know whether the defending army would go out of the city to fight. In order to avoid the 23rd Regiment being wiped out, he could only slow down the siege.

On Gu Changfeng's side, under the continuous shooting of three large guns, he finally made considerable progress. The Japanese soldiers he faced were almost defeated and fled back.

Luo Xiong also retreated smoothly with the cooperation of Wu Mazi.

Although the losses were heavy, the Japanese were also in trouble.

The battlefield was back in Gu Changfeng's hands. With his order, the artillery company and rocket launchers began to attack the Japanese artillery fire.

The tense battlefield was eased, and the Japanese were of course fighting back. The remaining artillery of the 23rd Regiment began to bombard Gu Changfeng.

The continuous falling of shells on the battlefield made several snipers cautious and they had to change their positions from time to time.

At this moment, the south gate of Qingpu City slowly opened, and a battalion of soldiers with guns rushed towards the position quickly.

In fact, Wang Yaowu took a great risk by making the decision to fight outside the city. If the Japanese turned back to attack the south city, he would be in danger.

There were not many soldiers left on the city walls, and they were unable to resist at all.

However, since he has made up his mind, Wang Yaowu can only trust his own judgment!

Soon, Wang Yaowu's men clashed with the remaining Japanese soldiers. Without any extra words, they started fighting for life and death!

Wang Yaowu's men were still very capable in fighting, otherwise they would not have been able to hold out until now in the face of the three-day siege by the Japanese. For a while, the two sides fought back and forth.

"Order Li Jie to find an opportunity to destroy the Japanese mountain artillery." Gu Changfeng said.

On the battlefield, the Japanese mountain artillery posed a considerable threat and could provide support to various battlefields at any time. He could not allow such a powerful thing to exist!

"Boom!" A violent explosion came from behind the Japanese.

The shot hit the target and shocked Gu Changfeng. Why did the enemy explode behind him just after the order was given?

Li Jie was also dumbfounded. He was planning to take a detour for a surprise attack, so should he still go now?

Lu Daya was very proud. He was chased all over the place by a group of Japanese devils. In the end, he had to ask someone to go back and report the news. Only with the support of Zhou Qianli did he drive the Japanese devils away.

After the crisis was resolved, he was about to return to the battlefield when he encountered an air raid by the Japanese. He had no choice but to lead his team to hide.

After the Japanese air raid was over, Gu Changfeng simply put out all his assets and killed an entire squadron of Japanese soldiers in a short while, and he didn't catch up.

Now we finally found the opportunity. With a few shots, we accurately destroyed the Japanese mountain artillery.

"Well done! Our artillery company has done a great job today, but it's not enough. We must eliminate these devils."

"Now, I order an indiscriminate, blanket bombardment in the direction of the Japs."

Lu Daya ordered that no matter how happy you are, you must not forget the important things, he still remembered this.

On the opposite position, Yoshida and Miyashita were standing together at this time, and the two squadron leaders looked very unhappy.

They saw the artillery positions being bombed. Without the support of the artillery, the battle, which was already difficult in itself, became even more difficult.

"Miyashita-kun, what should we do now?" asked Lieutenant Yoshida.

Miyashita stared blankly at the battlefield ahead and said bitterly, "Call for help. The enemy has snipers and strong firepower. We can't fight anymore."

At this time on the battlefield, his squadron was almost wiped out, and the only ones still holding on were the soldiers brought by Yoshida, who were no more than 200 people.

How long can you hold out against an attack of five or six hundred people?

He didn't know the answer to this question. He only knew that his side was about to be defeated, especially after the enemy reinforcements arrived.

Gu Changfeng's expression was stern. After firing his gun, he ordered, "Let several companies advance forward. Fire a few rounds with grenade launchers first. After that, prepare to charge. We must fight quickly and decisively."

The soldiers immediately went to convey the message, and soon several companies received the order and rushed forward, with people falling to the ground from time to time.

Liu Dazhuang and Zhao Ziqing now had their sights set on ordinary Japanese soldiers, creating an environment for the advancing team.

They were very good at seizing opportunities, and the Japanese firepower points had been almost eliminated by several of them.

Things started to go smoothly for Gu Changfeng, but Yang Zhenhua from the second company encountered difficulties. He was facing two squadrons of Japanese invaders and was completely suppressed by them.

If it weren't for the terrain advantage, they would have been driven out of their position by now.

"Brothers, hold on a little longer. Commander Gu and his men will be here soon for support."

Yang Zhenhua had no choice but to boost morale in this way. In fact, he didn't know what was going on with Gu Changfeng.

"Company commander, are we still afraid of these little devils? When we fought against the devil group with Commander Gu before."

"Could it be easier than this? I managed to get through it by gritting my teeth."

"No doubt about it, we've killed quite a few devils. Now we're making a profit by killing one, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Many of the soldiers in the second company were the first to follow Gu Changfeng. When they heard the company commander's words, they couldn't help but find joy in the midst of hardship.

"Haha! Okay, let's fight the devils and see who can last till the end."

Yang Zhenhua was also influenced by the soldiers, and his heroic spirit surged up at this moment.
