On the city wall of Guanghua Gate, Nie Ziwen, Zhang Lingfu and Xie Chengrui, the commander of the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps, were observing the war in the distance.

After a fierce night of battle, the Japanese had basically occupied the large campus and Tongguang Barracks outside Guanghua Gate, and are now clearing out the remaining enemies there.

A large group of retreating soldiers were crowding outside Guanghua Gate. They were trying to retreat into Nanjing through the gap left by Guanghua Gate that was only for one person to pass through.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from invading Nanjing City, the defenders of Guanghua Gate had been ordered to block Guanghua Gate with sandbags, leaving only a passage that could pass through one person. After these soldiers entered, the passage would be completely blocked.

At this time, Nie Ziwen, Zhang Lingfu and Xie Chengrui's faces were not very good. They did not expect that the Japanese would concentrate so many heavy artillery to bombard the defenders in Dachang and Tongguang Barracks. The defenders there collapsed after only making a weak resistance under the enemy's heavy artillery attack.

"It seems that the Japanese will not take long to attack Guanghua Sect. Commander Xie must prepare in advance." Zhang Lingfu said to Xie Chengrui with a smile.

"Don't worry about this. As long as we teach the 2nd Regiment there is still someone there, the Japanese will never let the Japanese attack from Guanghua Gate to Nanjing City. However, you will also ask your troops to help you, otherwise we will pay a lot of money to fight with the Japanese." Xie Chengrui also said with a smile.

The task of the 189th Division is to assist in defending the city gate. They are not the main force in defending the city gate. After all, tanks cannot get on the city wall, so the key to defending the city gate is to their infantry.

The 189th Division's mission was to drive out the Japanese who invaded the city, but Xie Chengrui knew that in addition to those heavy artillery, there were also some mortars, especially the five 120mm mortars, which definitely made him drool. So he hoped that the 189th Division could provide some artillery support while defending the city.

"Please rest assured about this. We will definitely help if we can help you." Nie Ziwen also promised him with a smile.

"Then thank you, Chief Nie." Xie Chengrui finally felt relieved after hearing his words. With the help of those mortars, the hope of defending the city was much greater.

But Nie Ziwen's mind was still a little heavy. The city gate was blocked and their tanks could not get out. He felt that the 189th Division was like a tiger locked in a cage, with nowhere to use it.

How can we make our tanks exert its due power?

At this time, there were a lot of curses near the city gate. Because of the fear of the Japanese attacks coming, people rushed to the only entrance. From time to time, some people made cursing sounds, and even a few people fought to get into the city first.

A company commander of the National Army felt very dissatisfied when he saw this situation, so he shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze everyone, line up and go into the city one by one."

But at this time, who had the heart to listen to him, and everyone wanted to squeeze into Nanjing immediately, and still squeezed forward desperately.

Although the company commander was very angry when he saw this situation, he was a little helpless. At such a critical moment, no one was willing to listen to the orders of his commander.

At this moment, the company commander felt that his instep was stomped hard, and he almost shouted out in pain.

So he looked back and found a fierce-looking man holding a gun and rushing forward desperately.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but get angry. I just shouted not to squeeze, and you immediately stepped on my feet. Do you look down on me?

So he shouted at the soldier, "What are you squeezing? If you squeeze, be careful, I will pull you out and kill you."

But the fierce-looking soldier not only did not feel afraid, but instead glared at him extremely fiercely, without seeing any awe for him.

Seeing this, the company commander became even more angry. You little soldier dared to be rude to the commander. It's so outrageous.

So he pushed the soldier hard and said, "Boy, what part of you are from? Why do I think you are so handsome?"

After being pushed by him, the soldier couldn't help but be furious, as if he wanted to hit the company commander, but he seemed to have to endure it for some reason, and just stared at him even more fiercely, but still didn't say a word.

When this situation occurs, the platoon leader can't help but have a good temper. Mom, what are your eyes? Is there anyone who treats the leader like this?

So he pulled his sleeve and slapped him hard, "Boy, let me teach you a lesson today, let you know what superiority and inferiority are. It would be strange if I don't beat you to death today."

After saying that, he went up and started punching and kicking him. The soldier was slapped and was first shocked, and then as if he was greatly insulted, a word suddenly popped out of his mouth.

"Bagaya Road!"

After hearing this, all the soldiers of the National Army who were making noise around were shocked, and then turned to look at the man in one go.

Looking at so many eyes staring at him, the man immediately panicked and just stammered without saying a word.

The company commander also pointed at the Japanese in surprise, "You...you are..."

This man also knew that he had made a big mistake, so he stopped hiding his identity. He was about to shoot at the platoon leader with a gun, but he was soon controlled by several soldiers around him who had reacted.

"Bang!"

I don’t know who fired a shot, and the crowd below completely became chaotic. Several Japanese soldiers disguised themselves took out their rifles and shot them at the people. The crowd who had no time to react suffered heavy losses for a while.

"Be careful! There are ghosts in the team!" Many people whispered loudly at this time.

Hearing the gunshots and fighting sounds under the city wall, Xie Chengrui hurriedly said loudly.

"What the hell happened next?"

Now a deputy division commander and a deputy brigade commander are by his side, and he doesn't want any mistakes in front of them.

Soon a messenger ran over and said, "There are Japanese soldiers under the report group, and they are trying to get into Nanjing. Our people are cleaning up the Japanese."

"Oh, I didn't expect the Japanese to come up with such a trick so insidiously." Zhang Lingfu said in surprise.

"There are also those who entered the city just now. Maybe there are Japanese devils among them. We must check them carefully." Nie Ziwen seemed to have thought of something and said quickly.

After hearing Nie Ziwen's words, Zhang Lingfu and Xie Chengrui nodded repeatedly. Maybe the Japanese had already scrambled into the defeated soldiers just now and entered Nanjing City.

"Go and check the group of people who entered the city just now and see if there are any Japanese among them. Remember, even a Japanese can't let go." Xie Chengrui hurriedly said to the messenger.

"As for orders, sir."

In fact, Nie Ziwen was not wrong, and soon a fierce gunfire sounded in the city.

At this time, everyone was secretly grateful. Fortunately, they discovered it early this time. If these people attacked from behind when fighting the Japanese, it would be a life-threatening person.

In a command post outside Nanjing, a large group of Japanese devils with the rank of major generals surrounded Shigeji Mosong in the middle like stars arching the moon.

"Has the mission failed?" Momoji Momoji said with a frown slightly.

Colonel Isoda Saburo, Chief of Staff of the 114th Division, said with a guilty look: "I'm very humble!"

"It's okay, is Isoda Jun also thinking about the great Japanese Empire?" said Shiroshi Momatsu, "Since you can't get ahead of your wisdom, then you can attack hard. I'm going to ask Suzuda Jun."

Sumida Lai Shiro smiled and said, "I will leave the task of breaking the enemy's walls to me, but I need Colonel Otsuka's artillery corps to cooperate."

"Of course, these are all we should do." Yumatsu Shirou said quickly.

Soon, orange-red lights appeared in the night sky far away. The lights hit the city walls near Guanghua Gate heavily, and then burst into earth-shaking explosions, and a large amount of gravel was blown away from the walls.

Some shells also crossed the city walls and fell into the houses behind them, blowing down the houses.

Seeing Nie Ziwen, Zhang Lingfu and Xie Chengrui both frowned.

The Nanjing City Wall was the most sturdy city wall in the world at that time, and was much stronger than the reinforced concrete structure.

The surface of its inner and outer walls is made of large pieces of stone, and the inner layer is filled with huge pieces of stone, forming an inner and outer wall of about 3 meters thick, and each is grouted with glutinous rice juice and lime. The inner and outer walls are filled with loess, slates of stone, and partitions are compacted. In some areas, there is also a method of using bricks between the inner and outer walls of stone-machined by stone-machined, or tamped with bricks, loess, and scattered stones.

But even so, it may not last long under the bombardment of heavy artillery.

Zhang Lingfu picked up his telescope and looked into the distance, but he could not find the enemy's artillery position at all.

"It seems that this city wall will not last long, and the enemy's cannons are all heavy cannons!" Zhang Lingfu said with a little worry.

"At most, you can only hold on until tomorrow morning, and the first city wall will completely collapse." Nie Ziwen said calmly.

"Let's go down first, it's too dangerous here." Xie Chengrui said to them.

Nie Ziwen nodded, then smiled and said, "It seems that tomorrow will be a big battle, and we must all be prepared."

"I will ask Chief Nie to help you at that time." Xie Chengrui hurriedly said to him, asking their regiment and a brigade of the 87th Division to fight against the Japanese and a division with a large number of heavy artillery, which made him feel very stressed.

"That's of course. At that time, our department will do its best to help you." Nie Ziwen hurriedly said to him.

On the way to Nanjing, a huge convoy of tanks was driving quickly towards Nanjing.

Lu Mingxuan sat on one of the Hummer military vehicles and fell into silence as he watched the message sent from Nanjing.

It seems that the situation of the 189th Division is not very good now, and the artillery was completely suppressed by the enemy.

But the enemy's artillery was too arrogant. Do you really think that if you fire the gun at night, you can't do anything to them?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingxuan sneered.

Should I send bombers to launch a night attack on them? It is also good to hit the Japanese's arrogance.

But Lu Mingxuan was still a little hesitant. He should know that with the technical conditions of World War II, it is not an easy task to carry out an accurate night bombing.

It involves countless difficult issues, the simplest ones are like how to locate your plane's position at night, how to navigate the plane; how to find the bombing target, then mark it, and then let the bomber bomb it accurately.

These very simple problems during the day, and once at night, they will develop into difficult-to-solve problems that bother the pilots.

During the night bombing in the early days of World War II, the bombing error was sometimes more than a few kilometers or even dozens of kilometers. In the defense of Jiangyin Fortress, the Japanese also tried to launch night attacks on the national warships, but did not achieve even the slightest results.

Just to get the bomber to reach the sky above the target, countries at that time developed various navigation systems, such as X system, Y system, Gee navigation system, bending leg navigation system, Obo navigation system and other navigation systems.

Of course, Lu Mingxuan's bomber unit is technically a mature night bomber unit. The mosquito fighter itself is a very excellent night fighter bomber. It participated in almost all large-scale bombing operations against Germany in Britain.

It can fly low at night to find the target, and then drop flares and combustion indicators on the target, making it easy for subsequent bombers to spot the bombing target.

It is also an excellent night killer, able to engage in air combat with enemy night fighters and act as a night fighter. I don't know how many excellent German pilots died under its muzzle.

Moreover, its combat loss rate is very low, and an average of 2,000 operations will cost a mosquito fighter, which is very important for the 189th Division, which is very lacking in pilots.

The B29 bomber is of course also a very powerful night bomber. The Japanese city was blown up by it at night.

"Then let them try!" Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and said. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
