    Chapter 151: The inertia of history - the fall of Nanjing (new book, please watch)

    At two o¡¯clock in the morning on December 13, the Japanese troops on the front line finally began to attack Nanjing City again after resting for two and a half hours. Yuhuatai, Zhonghua Gate, and Guanghua Gate in the south of Nanjing City were the first to bear the brunt.

    "Boom boom boom"

    The Japanese army carried out shelling as usual. More than a dozen field heavy artillery and dozens of mountain artillery field guns began to bombard the city wall on the right side of the Zhonghua Gate. Suddenly, the thousand-year-old city of Nanjing began to tremble under the Japanese artillery fire.

    The Japs¡¯ artillery firepower is very fierce, especially those large-caliber field heavy artillery. Its power is beyond imagination. One shot can punch a hole in the already crumbling city wall of Nanjing City.

    At the same time, the huge explosion of the artillery shells burned some facilities on the city wall. For a time, the Nanjing city wall and the Chinese defenders' positions turned into a sea of ??fire.

    Due to several days of fighting, almost all the fortifications on the city wall have been bombarded, and even most of the city wall buttresses are gone. In some places, the height of the city wall has been reduced by several meters. These days  The defenders fought against the Japanese army under such harsh conditions. Whenever the Japanese shelled the city, the defenders could only crawl on the city wall and fight against the Japanese steel shells with their flesh and blood and steely will.

    The shelling lasted for about twenty minutes before it stopped. Finally, under the fierce bombardment of the Japanese army, a section of the wall on the right side of the Zhonghua Gate collapsed.

    With the sound of "boom", a gap more than thirty meters wide suddenly appeared in the seemingly solid city wall, and a huge loophole appeared in Nanjing City's defense once again.

    Seeing this situation, Takeda Shinichi, who was supervising the battle from behind, was overjoyed. He immediately drew out his samurai sword, then pointed at the Nanjing city wall not far away and shouted: "The city wall has collapsed. Order all troops to press up. Be sure to attack on the first  Invade the city in one charge! Kill the enemy!"

    Infantry charge after shelling is the most common tactic of the Japanese army, and it is also a classic tactic in the Japanese infantry drill. Therefore, every Japanese officer will use such tactics to launch an attack in battle.

    Due to the cover of artillery and the fact that the defenders at the top of the city did not react much, these Japanese soldiers soon approached the gap!

    Although the entrance is right in front of you, no little devil dares to underestimate the enemy.

    After fighting against the Chinese army in the past few days, most of the Japanese soldiers found that the Chinese army was determined to defend Nanjing, so it was impossible to let them in easily. It is conceivable that this battle must be a bloody battle.

    Since the Japanese infantry took advantage of the artillery bombardment to launch a charge, they were very efficient and quickly approached the area within 200 meters of the Zhonghua Gate. It seemed that they were very close to the gap!

    However, what surprised the little devils was that they were already within the effective shooting range of the defenders. According to their experience in the past few days, usually the defenders in the city would immediately counterattack when they reached this distance.

    But until now, the defenders at the top of the city had no intention of shooting. However, this did not make the little devils relax their vigilance, but instead made them more cautious.

    No wonder these people are so timid. The main reason is that the fighting between the two sides in the past few days has been really brutal, almost all with full firepower. It never hurts to be careful.

    ??Everyone¡¯s hearts have dropped to their throats. They are so close, but the Chinese troops on the defensive position still do not respond. Not to mention shooting back, there is not even the slightest sound.

    The ruins are at your feet. As long as you step on these ruins and stand firm, you can successfully invade the city of Nanjing. Thinking of the yellow gold, the sparkling silver and the white flower girls, every little devil is like a chicken blood.  .

    You must know that this is the capital of China, and the richest people in China live there. As long as they cross these ruins, everything becomes theirs.

    Since there was no movement on the defender's position, the Japs quickly climbed up the ruins of the Nanjing City Wall and then occupied the wall near the Zhonghua Gate.

    However, when they climbed onto the Nanjing City Wall, they suddenly discovered that the Chinese army had already withdrawn. There was nothing in the entire Zhonghua Gate except the remains of the dead and broken and unusable weapons and equipment.

    Takeda-kun, who climbed up the city wall shortly afterwards, was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. The Chinese army actually withdrew. So their more than 20 minutes of shelling just now were in vain?

    Thinking of this, Takeda Shinichi¡¯s heartbsp; Historically, the Japs captured Nanjing City in the early morning of the 13th, and then pursued the defenders from various gates in Nanjing in the direction of retreat, all the way to Xiaguan Pier.

    Due to the lack of ferries at that time, the riverside was still crowded with soldiers and civilians.  After the Japanese army caught up, they killed both soldiers and civilians and massacred the soldiers and civilians.

    The vast Yangtze River is filled with rolling waves, and its miles-wide surface blocks life and death.

    On that day, Xiaguan was littered with corpses, the river was half-blocked, and the Yangtze River was stained with blood. On that day, Xiaguan became a pain in the hearts of all China, and it became a thorn in the heart of the Chinese nation that is difficult to remove!

    But Li Guoyao would never allow history to repeat itself. He had already prepared a Hongmen Banquet for the little devils in Xiaguan. He believed that the Independence Brigade and the National Army troops withdrawing from Nanjing would teach the little devils how to behave.

    Looking back at the city of Nanjing again, half misty and half hazy, putting away the melancholy and slight helplessness in his heart, Li Guoyao turned around and got into the car that had been waiting for him, and then rushed to the Yanshan defense line more than ten kilometers away.

    And just as Li Guoyao turned around and left, the 47th Regiment of the Sixth Division officially set foot on the Zhonghua Gate wall, and Nanjing fell.
