Chapter 247 The shock of the teaching team
In early November, most of the national army's administrative agencies, many officials, as well as wealthy businessmen and celebrities, evacuated to Wuhan first.
Most of the people who stayed behind in Nanjing, the capital, were old, weak, women and children, except for the combat troops who were appointed to stay behind. Commander Tang was also officially appointed as the garrison commander of Nanjing, the capital.
The troops under its jurisdiction include eleven divisions and a teaching corps totaling 110,000. They are equipped in two echelons: peripheral positions and compound positions, and are ready to fight the Japanese army to the end.
During this period, Nanjing, the capital city, was still frequently bombed by Japanese aircraft, and it became more and more fierce and frequent.
As for the suburbs of the capital and within the city, fortunately, we can still buy some non-staple food such as vegetables and melons.
However, as the Japanese planes began to bomb more and more frequently, most of the shops were closed.
So in the days that followed, it became increasingly difficult to buy food.
Even the vegetable farmers on the outskirts of the city don’t have much melons and vegetables to sell anymore.
The Teaching Corps is one of the main elite units with the best equipment and the most powerful combat effectiveness among the remaining troops in Nanjing, the capital. It has more than 30,000 troops and has been stationed and trained in the capital of Nanjing for five years.
Therefore, they are very familiar with the terrain of the capital, and the defensive positions they have built are very strong, and their morale is very strong. They are also patriotic combat troops.
Most of the officers and soldiers fought bravely,
When the battle for Songjiang City started for the first time, they were also building and strengthening fortifications in the Zhongshan Gate, Zijin Mountain and other areas to defend against the Japanese army that might attack the capital Nanjing at any time.
In fact, after the Japanese 10th Army successfully landed at Jinshan Guard,
They were to be dispatched to Changsha by Commander He, but because Commander Tang and Commander He had a fierce quarrel, and the quarrel went to the Chairman of the Committee,
The teaching corps, an elite main force, could only be left in Nanjing, the capital, to fight against the Japanese army.
Because the training corps in 1937 was a mere infantry regiment equipped with more than 100 machine guns and more than 20 various guns. The PaK-35/36 combat anti-tank gun was one of the rare anti-tank equipment in the Chinese army, but the teaching corps
The team is equipped with 18 doors,
The equipment of the Infantry Regiment of the Teaching Corps is directly under the artillery. There are more than 20 types of artillery, including 6 82mm mortars, 6 20mm machine guns, 6 37mm combat anti-aircraft guns, and 6 75mm infantry guns.
gun.
It can be said that he is the elite ace among the national army.
Moreover, the howitzer units of the Teaching Corps are all equipped with Le.IG18 75mm infantry cannons, which are more powerful than ordinary artillery.
The weapons and equipment are sophisticated, which can be said to be wealthy.
It is even more well-equipped than the three major "German Weapon Divisions", the 36th Division, the 87th Division and the 88th Division.
The teaching corps, which was withdrawn from the Battle of Songhu and reorganized to the capital Nanjing, has a strength of 6 infantry regiments, 1 supplementary regiment and units directly under the corps after adding new recruits, with a strength of about 20,000 to 30,000.
But the combat effectiveness is not as strong as it was when they first went into battle.
And they were falsely reported to have more than 30,000 troops.
But no matter what, after receiving the stay-at-home capital of Nanjing,
The officers and soldiers of the teaching corps also have the intention of killing the enemy and are doing their best to build the fortifications of their defense area.
However, the comparison of the weapons and equipment configuration between the teaching corps and the Japanese army was only half-matched, and it did not have much combat advantage. As for the rest of the local troops, ordinary troops, and even a regiment may not have mortars and heavy machine guns.
However, the strengthened Japanese infantry regiment has stronger firepower than any other corps of the Chinese army.
It is also because of this that a Japanese regiment can often catch up with two divisions of Chinese troops.
While these officers and soldiers of the teaching corps were digging fortifications,
They were also chatting while discussing the current situation in Nanjing, the capital.
"Do you think we can defend the capital this time? I heard that a lot of Japanese troops have landed on the Jinshan Guard side, with more than 100,000 troops. The current situation is not good!"
"Be careful what you say. If our commander hears it, I'm afraid you will be in trouble. And no matter what the situation is outside, I have decided to fight to the end and kill the Japanese!"
"I have also made up my mind to kill the Japanese. I just don't know how many we can kill! These stupid invaders deserve to die. I heard that they killed many innocent civilians. There are rivers of blood everywhere!"
"You don't need to hear about the cruelty of the Japanese. Haven't you seen that the bombing of these damn Japanese planes has killed many civilians in the past few days? I have seen it with my own eyes! Now the city center is collapsed everywhere
houses, as well as citizens and civilians who were injured or killed by the bombing!”
"Yes! The city center is now very busy, and even the food to eat is getting less and less. It's already good that we can still have food. The city center that used to be bustling and bustling with traffic is now silent and everywhere.
It’s deserted and deserted, and there are also frightened old, weak, women and children!”
"If our troops can have sophisticated weapons, equipment and ammunition like the Japanese army, why should we be afraid of these incoming Japanese troops? We will completely crush them in terms of numerical advantage!"
"Yes! Now all the front lines are losing ground, or there is news of a rout. There is no good news or success. It's really hard to live this day!"
"Why are you all saying these depressing things? Take a look at this newspaper that was just published today. Good news has come from Songjiang City and Cangcheng. There have been many casualties among the Japanese killed! Now on that side
The battle was also very fierce, take a look at those battlefield photos of killing enemies!"
"Hmm! What! No way! The battle between Cangcheng and Songjiang City, wasn't it just the day before yesterday and yesterday that there were reports of success in the newspapers? There is news of success again today? Are those Northeastern and Sichuan troops so powerful?"
"Let me take a look. I really didn't expect these Northeast Army and Sichuan Army troops to be so powerful! I heard that the Japanese troops they are fighting now are the Japanese troops conducting landing operations on the Jinshan Guard side! They are really good at killing!
"
"Hiss! Hey! That's awesome! They really killed a lot of Japs! Come and take a look at the battlefield photos in these newspapers. There are corpses of Japs all over the place. Moreover, they went out to fight in the city, and they actually fought with
The Japanese army troops are fighting head-on!"
"See, it's amazing! He's even braver than us! You see, this officer is so powerful. He can defeat several Japanese infantrymen! He even defeated them easily! Hiss! How do they train? Individual combat ability,
Are all these people so brave?"
"This is really unbelievable! They are crushing the infantry who came to fight the Japanese! And they also have anti-tank guns and anti-tank grenades to blow up those Japanese tanks! They are really the Northeastern Army and the Japanese we usually know.
Sichuan Army?"
"Who knows! Aren't those Sichuan troops all poor local troops with inferior weapons and equipment? Why do the Sichuan troops fighting here in Cangcheng and Songjiang City this time have so many heavy firepower weapons and equipment? Hiss! Look at their machine gun killings.
There are a large number of Japs here! And I haven’t seen these machine guns before! They got the machine guns from there, the firepower is so fierce!”
Just when the officers and soldiers of the training corps changed from ordinary chatting to somewhat passive chatting, they were suddenly attracted by the headlines of the newly sold newspapers, which attracted the attention and topic of heated discussion.
For a moment, the entire teaching team was excited.
Even the senior officers of the teaching corps who learned about the headlines in the newspaper picked up the newspaper and looked through it, and were dumbfounded in shock.
