Anti-Japanese sniper action

Chapter 249 Can the Zhonghua Gate Still Be Guarded?

Yuhuatai fell.

Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Zilong's expression darkened immediately.

Because the height of this small hill is a bit higher than the city wall of Zhonghuamen, standing there, you can see the inside and outside of the city wall of Zhonghuamen.

Now that the devils have occupied this hilltop position, they can condescend and completely suppress the entire city wall with artillery fire. How can the national army defend it?
The national army present also thought about this problem, so they all looked stern.

"The camp seat! Yuhua Terrace has been lost, can Zhonghua Gate still be defended?" A veteran asked with a deathly face.

"Yes, the camp! We defended from Shanghai to the outside of Nanjing City, and from outside the city to this city wall. It's okay to have guns and ammunition in the past, but now there is a shortage of ammunition. How can we defend?" Another Veterans also echoed.

Everyone was looking at Wang Zhong.

Zhao Zilong frowned and looked over.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Wang Zhongyi gritted his teeth and put this sentence aside.

When everyone heard this, their faces sank again, but no one said a word.

Although the national army put on their military uniforms and picked up their guns, they put their personal life and death aside, and even though they have fought devils on the battlefield and are used to seeing life and death, but now they stick to this seemingly hopeless situation. But it became a little dazed.

For a while, the atmosphere on the city wall was somewhat dull and depressing.

Suddenly, Zhao Zilong's eyes narrowed, and he saw a group of figures running towards the Zhonghua Gate in the distance on the road leading to Yuhuatai.

Look carefully, those are all wearing gray-blue military uniforms.

"Brother Wang! It's a brother from the national army. The position has been lost, and they want to retreat." Zhao Zilong immediately called out.Bah bah bah...

Da da da……

At this time, the devils who surrounded the outer positions of the city gate also found the retreating national army, and shot one after another, trying to intercept them.

Those national soldiers also ran and fired back, but under the fierce firepower of the devils, people kept falling down.

"Brothers! Prepare to take them into the city." Wang Zhong immediately observed with a telescope, and after seeing clearly, he immediately called out.

At this time, everyone also saw it, and they all picked up their guns and stood up.

Zhao Zilong held a Zhongzheng rifle and wanted to shoot those devils, but judging that the devils in the distance were five to six hundred meters away, he could only sigh, but still pointed the gun on the road.

About [-] to [-] national troops escaped from the avenue. As soon as these people ran under the city gate, they saw that the city gate was blocked and could not enter the city, so they yelled loudly from below.

The national army on the city wall was also helpless for a while, helpless.

At this time, the devils gradually chased after him.

Amidst the gunfire, national troops continued to fall.

"There is a gap in the corner of the city wall over there. Come in through there quickly." Zhao Zilong saw it, ran over quickly, shouted at the national army below, and pointed his finger to the left side of the city wall where the third battalion of the 262 regiment stood guard.

The people below heard it and immediately ran along the base of the city wall.

As soon as Zhao Zilong saw a group of devils approaching 400 meters, he immediately stood under a crenel of the watchtower, raised his gun and aimed at a devil machine gunner to shoot.

The shot rang out and people fell down.

Waiting on the right side of the city wall were brothers from the 264st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment. Under the leadership of Chen Weiguo, they also shot at the devils one after another.

Zhao Zilong unloaded the bullets on the rifle in one breath, and shot and killed four devils.

Chen Weiguo and others also shot down a dozen devils, and the other devils couldn't help but stop in fright.

At this time, the devils saw that the national troops ran to the gap in the corner of the city wall. Because they did not receive the order to attack the city, they stopped chasing and had to bring the corpses of those companions back to the position in resentment.

"Wangyingzuo! Yuhuatai was captured by devils, Brigadier Zhu and the others..." A platoon leader of the national army, whose forehead was scratched by a bullet, said to Wang Zhong with a sob.

At this time Zhao Zilong came back, and he realized that these people were all members of the 88th Brigade of the 264th Division.Because they were guarding the position behind Yuhuatai, they were able to withdraw.

However, for the number of their original battalion, only one platoon can be withdrawn.

"I know. You have worked hard, go and have a rest first." Wang Zhong nodded with a heavy heart.

"No, we want to defend the city with you..."

boom!
The platoon leader hadn't finished speaking when a cannon shot came from Yuhuatai.

As soon as Zhao Zilong heard it, he immediately yelled: "The devil is shooting cannons on the hill, everyone run away."

Boom!

Before everyone could react, a shell fell to the base of the city wall and exploded.

Fortunately, the devil's first shot was a test shot, so it missed the city wall.

bang bang...

When everyone ran to the horse path, there were already bursts of cannons on the Yuhuatai.

Cannonballs fell from the sky one after another, and fell on the city wall and inside the city wall one after another, blowing up the bunkers on and inside the city wall and other fortifications.

Immediately, the sound of cannons also rang out on the flat ground in the residential area.

Now the devils on both sides of Yuhuatai and the ground are shooting at the city wall.

For a while, the sound of cannons and explosions kept ringing, and the city walls kept trembling.

At this time, everyone was standing in the cave for the soldiers, listening to the cannon fire that was several times stronger than before, and their hearts were even more tense. -
Zhao Zilong leaned close to the wall of the cave entrance, with his eyes closed, he was listening to the explosion above and the sound of the cannons in the distance.

As soon as he heard the sound of the cannon became sparse and stopped, he immediately called out: "The devil stopped firing the cannon." He was the first to rush out.

Wang Zhong also yelled, and ran to the city wall with everyone.

When Zhao Zilong came to the city wall that had been hit hard by the artillery fire, he couldn't help but take a breath.Because he saw that not only the gap at the corner of the left city wall was a little bigger, but also the other part of the city wall was also blasted with several gaps.

Although those gaps were not that deep, they were still easy for devils to climb.

If the devils charge at these gaps at the same time, I don't know if the national army of the third battalion can hold it?
"Brothers, prepare to fight." At this moment, Wang Zhong's voice came from Zhao Zilong's ear.

Only then did Zhao Zilong come back to his senses, he looked up and saw by the moat, the devils had also assembled.

"Kill and reach!"

Following the order of the third team captain, Takahashi Tiansen, the reorganized Devils' assault force once again launched an attack on the city wall of Zhonghuamen.

First of all, those devil machine gunners occupying the residential area opened fire to cover.

Da da da……

The bullets kept hitting the bricks of the city wall, preventing the national army from raising their heads.

Then the devil engineers ran to the moat to build a bamboo bridge.

Because the national army was short of ammunition, Wang Zhong told everyone not to shoot yet.

Zhao Zilong is not restricted, he can fire unlimitedly.

However, even if he hits one devil engineer with each shot, those devils are not afraid of death, and with his own strength, he can't kill many enemies, so he can't stop the devil engineer from building a bridge at all.

This time the devil engineers rebuilt three bamboo bridges on the moat, and the devil infantry quickly passed through and attacked the city wall.

Although the devils attacked the gap in the city wall that was blasted by the artillery fire, the focus was on the gap on the left side of the city wall, which was the position where Wang Zhong and others from the 262rd Battalion of the [-]nd Regiment were waiting.
