I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 161 Nanjing Falls, Rescue Xiao Ya
At that time, except for a small group of elite Japanese troops led by Jun Takeshita, they infiltrated from Zijin Mountain and attacked outside Guanghuamen.

Other small groups of Japanese troops and some of the Japanese frontal attack troops who followed the retreat of the national army and pursued them are still operating on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.

Among them, the one discovered by Zhou Weiguo and Yuyi Regiment happened to have just crossed the Qinhuai River and was attacking Zhonghua Gate.

They belong to the 16th Division, with a total number of about 400 people, which can be regarded as an advance special attack force.

Its purpose was to control the Zhonghua Gate, intercept the retreating troops outside the city, and at the same time be responsible for responding to the subsequent main force of the Japanese army entering the city.

Fortunately, a group of military police and the defeated national army blocked them at the China Gate, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Just when the devils were attacking Zhonghua Gate with all their strength, Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli, and Xu Hu led nearly [-] officers and soldiers of the first regiment, and suddenly launched an attack from behind them.

Although there are less than 300 of them, they are all iron-blooded veterans who have retired from the battlefield.

Regiment commander Zhou Weiguo and battalion commander Fang Shengli took the lead in commanding, and they all moved forward bravely, beating and rushing toward the Japanese.

At that time, the devils were attacking, and there were only some grenadiers and machine gunners behind, who were responsible for suppressing the defenders of the Zhonghua Gate to cover their own infantry's attack.

When Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu suddenly appeared and rushed over.

These Japanese soldiers, who were almost defenseless at close range, were completely caught off guard.

He didn't even have a chance to escape, so he was shot and killed by Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu and the others.

Without stopping, Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli, and Xu Hu led the people to continue to charge forward.

The Japanese who were attacking Zhonghua Gate suddenly fell into a state of being attacked from both sides. Under the attack from the front and back by the pre-regiment and the Zhonghua Gate defenders, they suffered heavy casualties.

After more than a hundred people were wiped out, a devil who led the team immediately ordered to stop the attack, and led the remaining more than 200 Japanese troops, turned around and counterattacked against the Yuyi regiment.

The distance between the two sides was very close, and the first group was in charge.

Soon, they collided head-on.

Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu, and Fang Shengli took the lead. They first used Mauser pistols, MP18 submachine guns and other weapons to kill the few Japanese who rushed towards them first.

Then, as they continued to rush forward, after they had exhausted all the bullets in the magazine, one of them picked up the [-] cap left behind by a Japanese soldier who was killed.

These [-] big caps were equipped with bayonets by the Japanese soldiers, and they could stab the Japanese with them in their hands.

With guns in hand, the three of them were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, overthrowing and assassinating seven or eight Japanese soldiers one after another.

The more than 200 pre-regiment officers and soldiers who followed them were greatly encouraged, and they all moved forward bravely, and launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the devils.

Seeing this, the hundreds of defenders of the Zhonghua Gate, led by a lieutenant colonel, rushed out of the city decisively to help the pre-regiment.

With their participation, the national army far surpassed the Japanese in terms of strength and morale.

In addition, not long after, another small unit belonging to the 88th Division retreated from the front line, just happened to meet, and directly joined the battle.

With an absolute advantage in strength, Zhou Weiguo and the others succeeded in annihilating all the Japs after more than ten minutes of fierce fighting.

Seeing that Zhou Weiguo had the highest rank, the commanders of the two small units quickly stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Sir, what should we do?"

Zhou Weiguo asked, "How is the situation in the city now?"

A battalion commander replied: "I don't know the details. I heard that there are also a group of devils wearing our military uniforms at Guanghua Gate, and they have infiltrated."

"Damn it!" Zhou Weiguo couldn't help cursing in desperation, and immediately ordered the two officers: "You continue to lead troops to guard the Zhonghua Gate, and you must guard it no matter what. You must not let a devil in. Soldiers go to reinforce Guanghuamen!"

"Yes!" The two agreed, and Zhou Weiguo didn't stay any longer, and immediately led a group of people, passed through the Zhonghua Gate, and rushed straight towards the inner city.

Since the main force of the 6th Division was severely damaged and unable to continue the pursuit, Xu Qingfeng and the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment were able to successfully withdraw to the vicinity of Zhonghua Gate.

The two remnants of the army guarding the Zhonghua Gate saw that the Huben regiment was one of their own. After asking for their identities and numbers, they withdrew the antlers and let Xu Qingfeng and the officers and soldiers of the Huben regiment in.

As soon as Xu Qingfeng entered the city gate, two battalion-level officers came to meet him, and one of the lieutenant colonels couldn't hide his excitement and saluted him: "Mr. Xu, you have been famous for a long time. I didn't expect to see you here!"

Another major officer also quickly followed suit and saluted: "Yes, it is a lifetime comfort for the brothers to be able to meet Commander Xu."

Seeing that they were all loyal and brave men, Xu Qingfeng returned a military salute, and then asked, "Have you met Zhou Weiguo, the head of the first regiment?"

The lieutenant colonel officer immediately replied: "Yes, Commander Zhou and we worked together to annihilate a group of Japs. When we heard that Guanghua Gate had been attacked by an infiltration attack, we rushed over with people to provide reinforcements."

"How long has it been?" Xu Qingfeng asked.

"It must be almost half an hour." The lieutenant colonel thought for a while and replied.

Xu Qingfeng was so eager to save people that he didn't bother to talk to the lieutenant colonel and the others, and immediately said: "You continue to stick to the Zhonghua Gate and coordinate with other brother troops."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Chen Qifeng, Wang Tiezhu, Sun Kui and others and waved his hands suddenly: "Follow me into the city, go to Guanghua Gate, hurry up!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded, leaving and moving forward one after another.

Seeing this, the two battalion-level officers quickly took the lead and retreated to both sides, making way for Xu Qingfeng and the members of the Huben regiment.

On Guanghuamen's side, Junzai Takeshita was blocked by the main force of the military police led by Order Xiao Shan and failed to infiltrate the inner city.

They thought of building a temporary position outside Guanghua Gate to cut off the communication between the inner and outer cities of Nanjing, harass the inner city defenders, and create panic.

Therefore, he decisively ordered his subordinates to stop the attack and start repairing the fortifications near Guanghua Gate.

At this moment, Zhou Weiguo, with more than 200 officers and soldiers from the first regiment, suddenly arrived from behind them.

However, Takeshita Jun is more cautious and cunning than the average Japanese general.

He set up a guard post in the rear, and after the two Japanese soldiers serving as guards discovered the Pre-Yi regiment, they cut off their guns to block and warn.

After receiving the warning, Takeshita Toshi was startled, and immediately stopped building fortifications, and shrunk his troops to several nearby buildings, ready to stand firm and wait for help.

Although Zhou Weiguo and the others quickly killed the two Japanese sentries, Takeshita Jun and the others moved very quickly and had already completed the contraction.

Seeing a group appear, they immediately opened fire to stop them.

Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu reacted quickly and hurriedly avoided the Japanese fire attacks. They took the lead and hid behind the ruins of several collapsed buildings before organizing a fire counterattack.

At that time, the city of Nanjing was full of ruins of various collapsed buildings due to repeated air raids by the Japanese air force.

In this way, the two sides started a fierce battle outside Guanghuamen along various architectural ruins.

Zhou Weiguo understood that he could not wait too long and must eliminate the infiltration of the Japanese as soon as possible, otherwise the situation would be even worse.

Therefore, he immediately ordered Fang Shengli to lead dozens of soldiers to continue the firefight with the Japanese army from the front.

He and Xu Hu each led small groups of dozens of people and launched a detour towards several buildings occupied by the Japanese army.

Just when they were about to succeed, a Japanese army suddenly arrived along the infiltration route of Takeshita Shun's troops.

There are more than 500 Japanese troops in this army, and they were sent by the devils to support Jun Takeshita's troops.

Their joining directly led to the suppression of Fang Shengli on the frontal battlefield.

In desperation, Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu had no choice but to withdraw back in a hurry with the detour troops, returning to the aid party Shengli and others.

In this way, the Japanese troops directly had an absolute advantage.

Upon seeing this, Takeshita Jun also rushed out with the remaining 200 or so vanguard troops under his command.

Together with more than 500 reinforcements, they began to launch a counterattack against Zhou Weiguo and the officers and soldiers of the First Regiment.

Xiao Shanling in Guanghuamen wanted to lead the gendarmes out for reinforcements several times, but was shot back by the Japanese army with machine guns.

Jun Takeshita knew very well that the national army in front of him had to be eaten first, otherwise they would be caught in a dilemma.

So he left more than 100 people behind, maintained a fire blockade on Guanghua Gate, and blocked Xiaoshan's troops from leaving the city for reinforcements.

He commanded the remaining 600 people and launched a fierce attack on Zhou Weiguo's pre-regiment.

　Today's state is still very bad, sorry there is only one chapter, I will adjust it again. .
