Chapter 177: Joining the Training Corps
177 Joins forces with the Training Corps
Boom boom boom!
The sound of gunfire from Guanghua Gate lasted for more than an hour.
Sun Yuanliang paced back and forth anxiously in the command center.
However, there was no news from the front line about the death squad members taking over Guanghua Gate.
"Report to the division commander, the suicide squad's attack was blocked and suffered heavy casualties."
Soon, a soldier staggered in and reported the battle situation on the front line.
At the same time, the offensives of other attacking forces in other directions were not ideal either.
“Damn it, assemble the guard company.
Go and support me.
We must capture Guanghua Gate tonight."
Sun Yuanliang was also very ruthless. With no troops left to send, he had to gather the last of his mobile forces.
That is, the guard company of the 88th Division headquarters at that time.
At this time, the battle on the Guanghua Gate side has entered a white-hot stage.
Braving the Japanese artillery fire, the various units of the 88th Division launched wave after wave of attacks on the Japanese defense line near Guanghua Gate.
But unfortunately, they were eventually held back by the Japanese.
The Japanese Kimura Battalion defending the Guanghua Gate line also received a death order from the Japanese division commander Nakajima Imao.
Defend Guanghua Gate at all costs.
As a result, the soldiers on both sides went crazy.
Soldiers of the 88th Division fell one after another during the charging, but their attack never stopped for a moment.
Under such a frenzied attack by the soldiers of the 88th Division, the Japanese Kimura Battalion suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the Japanese commander was also asking for help.
At the 88th Division headquarters, the guard company had completed assembly under the order of Sun Yuanliang.
"Go support our frontline troops immediately and capture Guanghua Gate."
After Sun Yuanliang gave them orders, the guard company set off immediately.
"Xiao Wusheng, take the guard platoon and go to provide support."
Ye Qingshan also sent out the guard troops he brought with him.
Ye Qingshan knew very well that at this moment, their attacking forces and the Japanese soldiers defending Guanghua Gate were all holding on.
It all depends on who can't bear it first.
Ye Qingshan decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Qingshan, the firepower of your guard platoon is stronger than that of my guard company!
It is a luxury for everyone to have a submachine gun.
How many submachine guns do you have hidden? Give some to our 88th Division."
Sun Yuanliang looked at the guard platoon that Ye Qingshan had just sent out and was also filled with envy.
"OK!
When the next batch of submachine guns arrives, we will allocate them to your 88th Division first."
Ye Qingshan did not refuse.
Before long, the guard company of the 88th Division and the guard platoon led by Xiao Wusheng, totaling more than two hundred elite veterans, arrived.
Finally arrived at the front battlefield.
This was a fresh force, and once they joined the attack, the national army's offensive immediately made progress.
Da da da!
Especially the guard platoon that Ye Qingshan brought with him.
Each of them was armed with a Thompson submachine gun, and their firepower was fierce.
Under the leadership of Xiao Wusheng, they joined forces with the soldiers of the 88th Division to launch a more fierce attack on the Japanese defenders at Guanghua Gate.
"We've captured it! We've captured it!"
Finally, after half past nine, Ye Qingshan, Sun Yuanliang and others finally received good news at the headquarters.
Division Commander Sun rushed directly to the entrance of the command center, held down the Nationalist soldier who had returned to report the news, and asked loudly, "Has Guanghua Gate been taken?"
"Ah."
The soldier with the dirty face also smiled and nodded vigorously.
"Hahaha, we got it. We got it."
Sun Yuanliang laughed.
Then he gave orders and shouted, "Quick, let our transport team catch up and send a signal to the training team on Purple Mountain immediately.
Ask them to send the support team down the mountain to set off quickly as well."
As a bright flare rose into the sky.
Captain Gui on the Purple Mountain's eyes suddenly lit up: "We've finally come to this."
Then he turned around and shouted, "Chief of Staff Qiu, it's time for you to set off."
Soon, Qiu Qingquan led 88 veterans of the Teaching Corps, rushed down the mountain from the flank, and met with the vanguard of the th Division at the foot of the mountain.
Just as Qiu Qingquan was leading his troops down the mountain, Captain Gui on the mountain gave an order.
"Everyone, launch a counterattack and give the Japanese a counter-charge.
An hour later, they immediately withdrew from the position and retreated into the tunnel of the reverse slope position.
Don't leave anyone behind on the main battlefield.
Time cannot be delayed even for a minute, and must be withdrawn when the time comes.
Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be punished by military law."
Captain Gui issued an urgent order.
"Captain, if we don't leave anyone on the main position, the Japanese will attack us, right?"
An officer from the teaching corps at the back said in confusion.
"If you're asked to deliver the order, just go and do it now. No more nonsense."
Gui Yongqing scolded.
"Yes!"
Not long after, Gui Yongqing walked up to the radio operator at the headquarters and asked, "Have you sent the detailed location of our main position to Ye Qingshan?"
"Report to the captain, all of them have been sent an hour ago."
the telegraph operator responded.
"Well, send him another telegram.
Tell him that in an hour, you can cover our main position in Zijin Mountain with artillery fire.
I'd like to see the so-called rockets that were able to wipe out an entire regiment of the Japanese.
Is it really comparable to the Japanese heavy artillery? "
Gui Yongqing was somewhat looking forward to it.
It turned out that just before that, Ye Qingshan had contacted Gui Yongqing through the radio he carried with him.
Moreover, Ye Qingshan told Gui Yongqing a very risky way of fighting.
But in the end, considering the situation of the Teaching Corps at Zijin Mountain, it was indeed not very good.
They continued their victory over the Japs.
So, Gui Yongqing agreed to Ye Qingshan's proposal.
"Kill!"
Outside Guanghua Gate, Xiao Wusheng and other commandos captured Guanghua Gate and defeated the Japanese Kimura Battalion.
They even chased the enemy all the way out of the city to expand their victory.
As the Japanese troops at Guanghua Gate fled, the National Army, which had been besieged in Jinling City for several days, finally opened a passage out of the city for the first time.
If at this time, Ye Qingshan gave the order for the 88th Division to break out.
They already have a good chance of breaking through.
As long as they can break free from the blockade of a small number of Japanese troops outside Jinling City and escape dozens of kilometers.
It's basically safe.
But at this time, the national army soldiers who rushed out of the city did not have this idea.
Xiao Wusheng and others quickly moved towards Zijin Mountain along the path in the east of the city.
To explore the way for the transport team behind.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the commando team led by Xiao Wusheng finally met up with the 300 veterans of the Teaching Corps led by Qiu Qingquan who had fought their way down from the mountain at the foot of Zijin Mountain.
"Haha, little brother, your submachine gun is pretty good.
It’s not German, it’s American?”
Qiu Qingquan stared at the Thompson submachine gun in Xiao Wusheng's hand and asked with interest.
The soldiers of the teaching corps behind him also had submachine guns in their hands.
However, it is a German-made MP32, which is quite different from the American Thompson in Xiao Wusheng's hand.
