Chapter 242 Nanjing Breakout Battle (twenty)

I don’t know how to count these weapons and equipment, and I’m shocked when I count them.

There are more than 1,700 melon grenades, more than 300 grenade shells, and countless machine gun bullets and rifle bullets.

In addition, there are four Japanese-made Type 99 light machine guns.

This made Wei He and others sigh, these little Japanese are so damn rich. The weapons and ammunition delivered this time were so much, which was enough for a Japanese brigade to launch two medium-sized battles.

In fact, at the beginning of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army was quite generous in terms of weapons, equipment and ammunition. After all, at the beginning, their strategic purpose was only to capture Nanjing, and then use it as a bargaining chip to use force to coerce Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing.

The Nationalist Government just surrendered.

Later, the Japanese army discovered that the Nationalist Government did not seem to intend to surrender, and then they formulated a combat strategy for the next period, transforming the Nationalist Government from a national government into a local government.

This was the stage of the attack on Nanjing, so both the Japanese base camp and the commander of the Central China Dispatch Force of the Japanese invaders, Matsui Iwane, were very generous in the supply of weapons and ammunition.

During this period, they only wanted the word "quick" and wanted to capture Nanjing as quickly as possible. As long as they captured Nanjing, their chances of victory would be greater.

Besides, after taking Shanghai, the Japanese base camp also issued orders such as the "Operation Restriction Line". It was Matsui Iwane and others who wanted to "continue to expand the results of the war," so they ignored the orders of the Japanese base camp and continued to advance.

.

Therefore, for Matsui Iwane, whether he can quickly capture Nanjing is related to his future and life. He is even more generous in supplying materials to these combat troops - as long as Nanjing is captured, anything can be said.

Everything that was lost would be replenished, and his face would be brightened, which was such an honor; but if he couldn't defeat it, General Matsui Iwane would have to commit suicide by committing seppuku.

Therefore, the entire Japanese Army's 56th Regiment's Third Battalion was completely destroyed, and Wei He's temporary battalion made a small fortune for a while.

Looking at this batch of weapons and equipment distributed, Wei He felt really distressed - it would be great if this battle at the rear did not have to be fought. These weapons and equipment can fully equip the first battalion. Although the Japanese

The weapons and equipment are not as good as the German weapons and equipment, but they are still better than those local armies with the old Hanyang-made weapons, right?

There are more than 700 and nearly 800 people in the temporary battalion. It can be called a reinforced battalion that has been strengthened to the point that it cannot be strengthened. Therefore, this cannot help but make Wei He feel distressed.

It hurts, but weapons and equipment must always be used. Considering that the tasks performed by the third company are more dangerous and arduous, Wei He not only gave each person of the third company five grenades, but also strengthened the four newly captured light machine guns.

It was given to the third company to ensure that the third company could suppress the enemy's firepower as soon as the battle started.

After distributing the equipment, the third company commander took the more than 250 men of the third company up the mountain.

At this time, the battle on the other side of the mountain began, and the rear company temporarily reserved by the second battalion engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

For Gu Shian, this battle was unlucky for the thieves. According to the scheduled time, they could retreat in two minutes, and this little devil came up.

"His grandma, this little devil won't let me live, and I won't let you live easy either!" Gu Shi'an cursed.

Gu Shi'an, like Zhang Tianhai, was a student in the seventh phase of Huangpu, but he was not as lucky as Zhang Tianhai - Zhang Tianhai went to Songhu battlefield to fight a few battles, nothing happened, he was shot, and then

It can be said that his official career has been smooth sailing, he has been promoted all the way, directly from a company commander to the leader of the German Armament Reinforcement Regiment.

You should know that many students from the fourth or fifth phase of Huangpu are still serving as commanders of ordinary infantry regiments, and they are not yet German weapons regiments, let alone reinforced regiments.

Gu Shi'an was born in the Teaching Corps. Although at the beginning of the Nanjing Defense War, the companies directly under the Teaching Corps had been renamed battalions, in fact, no soldiers joined them, and they were still organized as companies. Gu Shi'an was the one who was renamed as a battalion.

Directly subordinate to the company commander.

The officers and soldiers of Gu Shi'an and Ma Weilong's brigade were different. The entire third brigade of Ma Weilong's teaching corps retreated together, while Gu Shi'an's unit was encircled on Zijin Mountain, and all the troops were beaten during the breakout.

Dispersed.

Since the Japanese army attacked from their backs, this battle was very painful for the Japanese army, but they had to charge, so the battle was very fierce.

"Company Commander, our troops don't have much ammunition left, so we probably won't be able to fight for long. Do you want to retreat!?" the machine gunner next to Gu Shi'an reported.

"What?! We're running out of ammunition?!" Gu Shian seemed a little unsure.

"Yes, company commander, we haven't had much ammunition since we withdrew, and after we broke through, there is even less ammunition to replenish. Every shot fired is one less shot..." The machine gunner had to remind Gu Shi'an of this cruel fact.

.

No ammunition? Then we definitely can’t fight. Anyway, the mission has been completed. If we continue to fight, it will be in vain to kill the Japanese soldiers.

Looking at the ant-like dense and dark Japanese army in front of him, although Gu Shi'an wanted to kill the enemy, his strength did not allow it. The cruel reality had ruthlessly shattered his thoughts.

"Go! Retreat, fight while retreating, the machine gunners immediately suppress the enemy with fire, and then retreat!" Gu Shi'an said, holding up the Mauser pistol in his hand. He did not capture as exquisite a weapon as Browning's.

Pistol, so it can only be used as an officer's pistol of the German Arms Forces standard.

"Yes!" After receiving Gu Shi'an's retreat order, the officers and soldiers of the Second Company of the Second Battalion also began to withdraw. Except for the machine gunners who suppressed the enemy's firepower, everyone else retreated first.

The retreat direction is of course towards Chunhua Town.



The 13th Regiment of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, led by the commander Yuzo Sakata, marched all the way towards Niushou Mountain. More than 3,700 people divided into three rows and advanced. The length of the formation was naturally not short.

, it can be said to be very long.

As the captain of the unit, Sakata Yuzo naturally would not be at the front of the team. When he heard the news that the forward troops' attack was blocked, he immediately ordered the team to fully deploy and organize a rear attack.

"Get ready~~~release!!!"

"Boom~~Boom!!!"

"Boom~~Boom!!!"

"Boom~~Boom!!!"

One after another mortar shells and grenade shells hit hard on the mid-mountain blocking line that had been temporarily defended by the 2nd Battalion and the 2nd Company, blooming in the dark night with fiery red explosion flames, which looked very similar.

The blooming roses are full of murderous aura.

The shells exploded after being bombarded, and then made bursts of deafening explosions, which was very scary!

"Quickly retreat! Before the Japs have completely attacked! They are bombarding our position!" Gu Shian shouted in his Mandarin with a Jiangxi accent. Because it was in the dark night, his words

With his tall height of 80 meters and the goose green military uniform, he didn't stand out in the crowd.

In fact, the soldiers who retreated with Gu Shi'an were all veterans who had been on the battlefield. After hearing the explosion from behind, they could be said to have run extremely fast - taking advantage of the Japanese army's shelling of the position and their inability to charge,

Why don't you run quickly? Or wait until the little devil catches up?

When it comes to saving lives, these veterans are smarter than anyone else - fight the battles you should fight hard, and don't be slow when you need to run. If you are slow, you will die!

Therefore, Gu Shi'an's company can be said to "run faster than rabbits" to a certain extent.



"Company commander, there is a troop in front of us that is running so damn fast. Could they be the Japs' troops?" A soldier next to Ni Dayong, the temporary commander of the third company of the first battalion, pointed to the distance and was still running for his life.

Gu Shi'an's company said.

Hearing these words, Ni Dayong's face suddenly darkened, and there was a little twitching on his face, yes, it was twitching!

Unable to bear it, Ni Dayong slapped the soldier on the back of his head and cursed: "Are you blind? How could the little Japanese army be in such a mess? This army looks very poorly equipped. Besides,

, The bombardment was so exciting in the front, except for the little devils, which of our troops has this kind of heroism? Can they bombard it to this extent with mortar shells?!"

Yes, Ni Dayong recognized that it was the small-caliber mortar that made such a sound. The explosion of the Qiwu Mountain Cannon was not like this.

"Oh, I understand, company commander." The soldier said with an aggrieved face.
