Chapter 132 Fierce battle at the city gate
After understanding the situation, Li Chengqian also gave a general introduction to the things happening in the city.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhenqiang looked at him with admiration: "Captain Xie has no weak soldiers under his command. You are worthy of being the hero of the Sihang Warehouse Defense Battle. I admire you!!"
Li Chengqian drove the car and looked ahead: "What is a hero or not? The country is in crisis. If we don't fight, the nation will perish, and the country will perish!"
Zhou Zhenqiang was silent for a while after hearing this: "Do you think we will win? Can we see the day when we drive the Japanese into the sea?"
This question again!
Although Li Chengqian had answered many times, he still said firmly: "We will win, we will definitely win, believe me!"
Zhou Zhenqiang looked at his determined eyes, and gradually, the confusion about the future in his heart was replaced by determination.
Turning his head and looking forward, his eyes were determined and his fighting spirit was high!!
There are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city waiting for him to rescue them. Now is not the time to be decadent and confused.
We must be vigilant and fight bravely, even if we die, we must ensure the safe evacuation of the people! !
The car soon arrived outside Zhonghuamen, outside the Japanese command post, and through the telescope one could clearly see the Japanese troop deployment.
With the replenishment of arms from the Japanese convoy, Li Chengqian and his men are now armed to the teeth.
Five heavy machine guns, more than 50 light machine guns of various types, as well as mortars, infantry guns and other light and heavy firepower.
There were plenty of grenades, and with the super strong arm strength of Cheng Yaojin and his men, they were comparable to mortars.
Everyone got off the car and distributed their weapons.
Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Yuchi Gong and Su Dingfang each carried a heavy machine gun, followed by two soldiers from the teaching corps who were responsible for supplying them with ammunition.
The other guards each carried two boxes of grenades and acted as human throwing buckets!
Li Chengqian handed over the command to Zhou Zhenqiang. Everyone has their own expertise, so it is better to leave the deployment of troops to professionals.
Zhou Zhenqiang was not polite and took over the command decisively. After some arrangements, it was already dark.
But the Japanese in front were still unwilling to give up and continued to deploy troops into the city.
The infantry guns and mortars on the positions continued to deliver shells into the city.
"It seems that the Japanese want to spend the night in the city!" said Li Chengqian.
"Haha, I'm just afraid that they'll want it but won't have the life to enjoy it!!"
"Attention, all units, aim at the enemy artillery positions first. After the artillery opens fire, the rest of you all attack!!"
"fire!!"
Boom boom boom!
Everything!
Infantry guns and mortars opened fire in succession.
A sudden artillery bombardment from the direction of the Japanese front-line positions stunned them!
That’s not all, because the shells landed directly in their artillery positions, where spare ammunition was stored, and then...
"idiot!"
With a shout from the Japanese artillery commander, boom boom boom! !
The earth shook and fireballs soared into the sky.
The Japanese artillery position was instantly blown away by the explosion of the shells.
At the same time, under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin, the vanguard fire suppression team had arrived at the flank of the artillery position, and the heavy machine guns started firing!
“Haha, cool!!!”
"Wuhu~~ Come on, devils, come to your grandfather's side!"
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were shooting frantically, with excitement on their faces.
They were happy, but the soldiers who followed them and were transporting ammunition suffered.
Not only were they responsible for transporting ammunition, they also had to take out their guns and run water to cool the barrels.
The urine is gone, change people immediately, these guys must be made to feel satisfied.
The outer positions were suddenly attacked, and the Japanese commander on the front line immediately felt something was wrong and quickly sent people to support.
His withdrawal of troops indirectly reduced the pressure on the defenders in the city.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly turned around!
However, the tanks and a large number of troops that had already penetrated deep into the city were unable to withdraw from the battle for a while, and the only ones coming to support them were the infantry who had not yet entered the city.
Facing the heavy machine gun fire from Cheng Yaojin and others, no matter how many came, they would die.
Li Chengqian looked at the number of enemies killed in the sky, which was rising rapidly and had reached more than three thousand.
The battle was still going on. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese commander decisively ordered the troops in the city to retreat.
But it is not so easy for them to withdraw.
The person commanding the battle in the city was Xie Jinyuan. He also heard something unusual outside the city and knew that this was most likely Li Chengqian coming back to attack again.
Although I don’t know why Li Chengqian has such powerful firepower, I must seize the opportunity to give the enemy a beating.
"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, fight them out, drive the devils out of the city, kill!!!"
The great counter-offensive began.
The national army led the young and strong people in the city, advancing forward while picking up the weapons and equipment dropped by the Japanese.
The young and strong men adapted quickly, and the real battlefield was the best place for training.
They learned how to shoot, how to throw grenades, and even how to fight with bayonets!
But they paid the tuition with their lives. They learned fast, graduated fast, and died fast.
But they still did not hesitate, followed the footsteps of the Kuomintang commander, and launched the final counterattack! !
Under attack from both ends, if the Japanese in the city wanted to withdraw smoothly, they had to leave behind a rear guard force.
The Japanese commander in the city decisively abandoned a 500-man troop and led a large group of troops out of the city.
At the same time, the reversal of the battle situation at Zhonghua Gate also affected the offensive and defensive battles at several other city gates.
The Japanese were defeated on all fronts, and when the last ray of light disappeared on the horizon, the Japanese in the city were finally successfully eliminated.
But the battle outside Zhonghuamen has not yet ended. Li Chengqian and Zhou Zhenqiang are still chasing, trying their best to kill as many Japanese troops as possible.
Only by scaring the Japanese with this wave can we prevent them from launching attacks at night and allow us to spend the night safely.
However, the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements forced them to give up the pursuit.
Boom boom boom!
Several heavy artillery shells landed between Li Chengqian and his group and the Japanese, completely blocking their pursuit!
"Withdraw~~"
Li Chengqian and Xie Jinyuan met at the collapsed city gate. Looking at the smoke on each other's faces and the wounded soldiers behind them, they both felt like they had survived a disaster.
Zhou Zhenqiang and Xie Jinyuan held hands tightly, and they exchanged battlefield situations and information.
Finally, they came to the conclusion that it was meaningless to continue guarding Zijin Mountain, and the key point was to transfer the teaching corps into the city to deal with the enemy's general attack tomorrow.
They wanted to discuss this matter with Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian had disappeared at some point.
"Don't worry, they have their mission. Our mission is to guard the southeast gates and buy time for the people in the city to evacuate."
Faced with Zhou Zhenqiang's doubts, Xie Jinyuan, as the person who knows Li Chengqian's special abilities best, needs to come forward to explain and comfort him.
"I suggest that we collect all the explosives, such as dynamite packs and mines, and bury minefields along the roads that must be passed through the city gates. This way, we can catch the Japanese off guard!"
Zhou Zhenqiang nodded: "It just so happens that there are still a batch of mines on Zijin Mountain. I will send someone to notify them to evacuate!!"
