Chapter 221: A different battle for defense of Nanjing (II)
Zhang Lingfu was shot in the abdomen, but the 38th gun was very penetrating. The bullet penetrated a hole in the abdomen and the bullet did not remain in the body, which was much easier to deal with. After a simple bandage, Zhang Lingfu laughed: "Dog Japanese,
He beat him very accurately, and he almost bit my egg."
After saying that, the Shaanxi Lengwa stood up and commanded the 305th Regiment to quickly clean the battlefield.
A soldier went up and pulled off the epaulette of a male colonel, cut off his head, wrapped it in a Japanese military uniform, and carried it on his shoulders.
When Zhang Lingfu saw this, he laughed again and cursed: "Damn it, you are sharp-eyed and you know how to compete for me. Brothers, move quickly. You will soon withdraw." After laughing, he staggered in pain.
, sat down on the ground again.
After cleaning the battlefield, I looked at the casualties report. Yu Jishi felt distressed and had a calves twitching. In addition, the 301st Regiment, the 74th Army and the Teaching Corps had more than 6,000 casualties, reaching 3 to 1. This little Japanese is still
It's so fuckingly powerful.
Zhang Zhizhong received the good news of annihilation of the Seventh Regiment of the Ninth Division and was overjoyed and ordered to report the victory to the Chairman immediately, and inform all the defending troops of Chunhua's victory and the good news of annihilation of the Seventh Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army.
, inspire morale, while urgently ordered the 74th Army and the Teaching Corps to quickly withdraw to Nanjing City, cross the river from Pukou floating bridge overnight to ensure the safety of the crossing of the river. The Second Brigade and Third Regiment of the Teaching Corps, which was originally left on the front line of Zijin Mountain, should make full use of the 2nd Brigade and 3rd Regiment of the Teaching Corps, which was originally located on the front line of Zijin Mountain, should make full use of the
The commanding heights of Zijin Mountain are defending and stumbled against the enemy. In order to buy time for the troops preparing for street fighting in Nanjing, the troops who were preparing to fight in the street fighting in Nanjing will be retreated from Taiping Gate to the city and retreat with the street fighting troops guarding the city.
Chiang Kai-shek was even more ecstatic. Since the war started, the Kuomintang army suffered heavy casualties. Although it caused a heavy blow to the Japanese army, except for the Eighth Route Army, the real Kuomintang army sequence has never achieved the record of destroying a Japanese army in an integrated manner. The Chunhua victory greatly increased our army.
As the supreme commander, I was naturally in a very comfortable mood and felt completely relieved about Zhang Zhizhong's deployment. I immediately called on all troops across the country to call on all war zones to learn from the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the 74th Army, and the teaching corps, properly deploy, and actively attack
, consume the enemy and delay the enemy's crazy attack.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was entrusting Wang Jingwei to negotiate with Japan under the mediation of the Germans. Chiang Kai-shek's bottom line was only to restore the state before the July 7 Incident, but the Japanese, in view of the Japanese's strength, strived to form a trinity of Japan, Manchuria and China, and completely form a dominance.
China, in turn, uses resources from Japan and China to strive for greater benefits under the new world pattern, so naturally the negotiations cannot continue.
Historically, after the Japanese army captured Nanjing, they arrogantly declared that they "did not use the National Government as an opponent" and unilaterally terminated the negotiations with Chiang Kai-shek.
The situation has changed now. There was a victory in Pingxingguan of the 115th Division and a victory in Taiyuan of the Teacher. Now there is a victory in Chunhua again. Chiang Kai-shek felt that there was great hope for the War of Resistance, and his attitude changed immediately. He instructed Wang Jingwei to be firm in negotiations with Japan.
The position is to urge all Japanese troops to withdraw from China as much as possible. If it really doesn’t work, we must strive to restore the state before September 18th.
Wang Jingwei received Chiang Kai-shek's instructions and said, "Arrogant! I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! People's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant!" He casually put the telegram aside.
After Zhang Zhizhong ordered the 74th Army and the instructor to transfer, he immediately turned his attention to the Yuhuatai line, which was the focus of the attack of the Japanese 6th Division.
The Sixth Division and the Guoqi Detachment from the Fifth Division were purely offensive forces, with great courage and rushed to fight quickly, with the purpose of cutting off the retreat of the Chinese army from Nanjing, and intending to cooperate with other troops to annihilate China
The main force of the army is under the city of Nanjing.
Originally, Zhang Zhizhong wanted to let the 74th Army and the teaching corps move to Yuhuatai, and join forces with Wang Jingjiu's 87th Division and Sun Yuanliang's 88th Division to set up a set for the active attacking 6th Division in Yuhuatai, and strive to kill it one or two more corpses.
, and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
However, after looking at the casualties reported by Yu Jishi, Zhang Zhizhong changed his mind. He remembered that Liu Yimin said it very clearly. The most important thing is to ensure that the elite troops can lose no losses or less, and preserve the strength of the backbone forces for the long-term war of resistance in the future. Just put Nanjing in
The citizens and factories will be transferred away and the mission will be completed completely. Never show off your strength and fight hard, as you will be captured by the Japanese invaders' tricks. It will not only cause Japanese planes and cannons to destroy the ancient capital Nanjing, but also cause most troops to fall into it.
The siege caused significant losses.
After carefully comparing Liu Yimin's words with the situation he was deducing, Zhang Zhizhong decisively ordered the 74th Army to teach the corps to move across the river in advance, and ordered the 87th Division and the 88th Division to move to the flanks of Yuhuatai line overnight to cooperate with the three regiments of Xiaoshanling.
The military police force was preparing to attack the vanguard of the enemy's 6th Division near Yuhuatai before retreating. The 103rd Division was left, and the 112th Division defended Nanjing City, and retreated after a brief street battle with the enemy. The rest of the troops crossed the river along the floating bridge overnight and moved to
Favorable position, quickly repair.
The reason why the 103rd Division and the 112th Division were left to fight the enemy in Nanjing was mainly considered that although the 103rd Division was reorganized from the Guizhou Army, it is now intact and has basically sufficient troops. The 112th Division is a Northeast Army unit. After retreating from Jiangyin, its morale was
Gao Qiang can fight. Another thing is selfish, Zhang Zhizhong is unwilling to let the Central Army's direct troops defend the lonely city to death, otherwise he would be scolded by the chairman.
Originally, Zhang Zhizhong, who had figured it out, was ready to evacuate the entire army overnight. After reporting to Chiang Kai-shek, he waited for a long time before waiting for a telegram: "Our army has won a new victory, and we should continue to work hard. The main force can cross the river, but Nanjing is the capital of our country.
, the Prime Minister's Mausoleum is located first, and you must not retreat in a hurry. Be sure to annihilate one of the enemies under the city of Nanjing before you can retreat. Otherwise, you will not be able to deal with the people and the spirit of the Prime Minister in heaven."
Zhang Zhizhong had no choice but to seek opinions from various departments. Unexpectedly, many troops asked for battle, and some even proposed to live and die with Nanjing. Zhang Zhizhong thought, why are they all elm-woods? Why don’t you understand the Communist Party’s strategy?
Isn’t it true that the Japanese army is busy with coexistence?
Although the reason is that, Zhang Zhizhong still adjusted and deployed according to Chiang Kai-shek's telegram, evacuated the main force across the river, and left some troops to deal with the enemy in Nanjing for a while, and then evacuate.
Nanjing City was an empty city at this time, and citizens and factories had already retreated, leaving only the left-behind troops. After Zhang Zhizhong adjusted his deployment, the troops took action overnight and quickly retreated across the river. Because of the pontoon bridges were built in advance at Pukou and the ships, the troops evacuated.
It's well organized.
After the main force retreated, Zhang Zhizhong inspected the Tongji Gate, Wuding Gate, Guanghua Gate, and Zhongshan Gate positions of the 103rd Division of Dai Zhiqi who were left in Nanjing overnight, and then inspected the Heping Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Taiping Gate positions of the 112th Division of Huo Shouyi, encouraging them to
To fight the enemy bravely, be sure to fight with the enemy streets in Nanjing for one day. After the 88th Division and 87th Division defeat the vanguard of the enemy's 6th Division, they will retreat with the 3rd Regiment of the Second Brigade of the Second Brigade of the Teaching Corps that defended Zijin Mountain.
The three people carefully studied the tactics of street fighting in the city. Zhang Zhizhong asked the troops to resolutely not fight the enemy to the death, but firmly defend the word "tang" and beat the urban guerrilla warfare that Liu Yimin said, making full use of the solid houses and labour in Nanjing.
, Water supply pipelines, fight against the enemy. The principle is to take the initiative to attack, let the enemy enter Nanjing City, be beaten everywhere, and cannot figure out the reality of our army and dare not advance quickly. As long as you stick to the evening, wait until the 88th Division and the 87th Division retreat
You can retreat quickly afterwards.
In order to facilitate command, Zhang Zhizhong appointed Huo Shouyi as the commander of the city guarding and Dai Zhiqi as the deputy commander, and unified the operations of the two divisions and allowed them to immediately establish contact with the 88th Division, 87th Division and the 3rd Regiment of the Second Brigade of the Teaching Corps.
Dai Zhiqi, the acting commander of the 103rd Division, suggested that the army was equipped too poorly, and asked the commander-in-chief to add some automatic firearms, grenades and explosives packs. Huo Shouyi, the commander of the 112th Division, also proposed that the ammunition was needed.
This statement reminded Zhang Zhizhong that since the main force has withdrawn, these two divisions alone cannot defend the city gate. Instead of doing this, it is better to let the engineers bury enough explosives at the city gate and detonate at critical moments, which can kill and injure the enemy in large quantities.
, and can also cover the troops to retreat calmly.
Thinking about Liu Yimin's war, he always had cannons, machine guns, grenades, mines, and explosives packs all in battle, causing the enemy to be dazzled. Zhang Zhizhong immediately ordered the headquarters engineer corps to bury explosives on several city gates and the main roads in the city overnight.
, let Dai Zhiqi and Huo Shouyi send small troops to cooperate with the engineers to detonate, so that the Japanese devils can taste the taste of flying.
As for the weapons and ammunition requested by the two divisions, there is no problem and the supply is open.
After the arrangement was made, Zhang Zhizhong held Huo Shouyi and Dai Zhiqi's hands and said, "Brothers, this Nanjing city is already an empty city, and our army does not need to stick to it. As long as we move the main force to the appropriate position, we can attack the Japanese army.
Deterrence effect, keep a strategic initiative. Therefore, the two should not fight in love. Especially when the Japanese army attacked, after the first wave of the enemy's attack was repelled from the front line of the city wall, the troops must retreat and cannot be targeted for enemy aircraft and cannons. Don't worry, fight
Nanjing is so big, if you fight street battles independently, it will be fine for a few days. However, I don’t allow you to do that. What I want is to attack the arrogance of the Japanese army in Nanjing, and then quickly withdraw at night.
I will wait by the pontoon bridge across the river until you have finished retreating."
Seeing that both of the two teachers were full of confidence, Zhang Zhizhong finally felt relieved.
Then, Zhang Zhizhong rushed to the 88th Division and the 87th Division, and personally explored the terrain with Wang Jingjiu, Sun Yuanliang and Xiao Shanling overnight, and asked Xiao Shanling's three military police regiments to defend the front positions of Yuhuatai, Zhonghua Gate, Shuixi Gate, and Hanxi Gate, and use military military forces to use military military forces
In the advantage of Nanjing's familiar terrain, a battalion was sent to harass and block the Japanese army step by step, leading the Japanese vanguard to the main encirclement. The 88th Division and the 87th Division were all hidden on both wings. After the vanguard of the 6th Division entered the encirclement, the entire army was
Kill out and strive to be completely annihilated. If you cannot be completely annihilated, you can defeat it. Then the main force retreats quickly, leaving three gendarmeries to hold on until night and retreat across the river. If necessary, the enemy can be brought into the city and street battle, but you must be in charge of the position at night
Huo Shouyi and Dai Zhiqi, who were in the street fighting mission, contacted him and took advantage of the night to evacuate from Nanjing.
Considering that the 87th Division, 88th Division and the military police are divided into different systems, and are difficult to command and easy to take advantage of by the enemy, Zhang Zhizhong decided to leave the command personally. This decision was unanimously opposed by Wang Jingjiu, Sun Yuanliang and Xiao Shanling, and finally decided to
Wang Jingjiu was the commander-in-chief of Yuhuatai. When Zhang Zhizhong left, he repeatedly advised the three of them to stop when they were good. There were opportunities to fight the Japanese in the future. The key was to retreat the troops safely across the river. We will come back sooner or later in Nanjing.
Lieutenant General Yoshisuke Yoshisuke received a telegram from Colonel Kawasaki requesting tactical guidance. In his impression, the Chinese army had already become a frightened bird. Why did he suddenly turn around and dare to encircle and annihilate the elite?
The Seventh Regiment was there. So, he immediately ordered the troops to quickly reinforce. It was not until he received a farewell call from Colonel Kawasaki that Lieutenant General Yoshisuke realized that something was wrong, and the Seventh Regiment fell into the trap of the Chinese army.
.Now, Lieutenant General Yoshisuke Ryosuke couldn't sit still and personally led the entire division to fight towards Chunhua Town.
When I arrived at Chunhua Town, Yoshisuke's nose was crooked. The soldiers of the 7th Regiment were scattered and lay on the ground in a row. There was no one venting their breath. Even the tanks and armored vehicles were burned.
His face was beyond recognition. After searching for a long time, he found a body that might be a male colonel Kawazu. Because he had no head and no epaulettes, he judged from his military uniform that it should be a male colonel Kawazuzu.
After seeing the battlefield, Yoshisuke quickly came to the conclusion that the entire Seventh Regiment was broken by the elite troops of the Chinese army. Otherwise, with the positions built by the Seventh Regiment and the super combat power, the enemy would be
In any case, the Seventh Regiment cannot be wiped out in such a short time.
Lieutenant General Yoshisuke Ryosuke is about to attack, and he wishes to enter Nanjing now to seek revenge on the Chinese army. However, after looking at the dark night sky, Lieutenant General Yoshisuke Ryosuke still gave up this idea, thinking about the instructor of the Chinese army.
How to kill the main force of the Fifth Division and the Chahar-sented Corps, Yoshisuke resisted the impulse and decided to camp on the spot. After dawn, he contacted the aviation force and other friendly troops before attacking.
Major General Akiyama Yoshiyun, the commander of the 6th Brigade, was dissatisfied with the decision of the division commander and asked the division commander to allow him to lead the brigade's direct troops and the 35th Infantry Regiment to immediately launch a pursuit, chase the Chinese troops, and serve as the Seventh Corps.
The dead warriors avenge.
Lieutenant General Yoshizuru looked at Major General Akiyama Yoshiyun and told him to be calm and not be impatient tomorrow. He will lead the 35th Regiment as the main attacker. He must attack the city of Nanjing, and it is best to break the city in one fell swoop.
Major General Akiyama Yoshihiro then hailed and mumbled and stepped back to camp.
Chapter completed!
