Chapter 298: Major General Eijiro Kondo of the 11th Team (Thanks to all the book friends who gave me tips)
Guangde City, the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army.
"Report! A large number of Japanese and puppet troops have been discovered on the front line, and they are advancing towards us. Behind them are Japanese troops, with about one division and more than 20,000 troops coming!"
"And in addition to the incoming Japanese army on our side, there is also a large number of Japanese troops advancing on the side of our friendly 144th Division! The strength is also a force of more than 20,000 people. It seems to be the Japanese 114th Division.
division!"
"The main force of the Japanese army attacking our side is the Japanese 18th Division!"
"Master's seat!"
Operation staff officer Li Demin hurriedly came to the division commander Rao Guohua to give a report.
"The garrison troops in Jincun and Nanshan are the 144th Division. It seems that they cannot protect themselves this time, and they may not be able to assist us in counterattacks and meet these incoming Japanese troops!"
"Give me the order to go down. Even if the whole army is to be wiped out today, I will fight to the end with blood!"
"I don't care how many Japanese troops come today, kill them all!"
"Killing one is enough, the more you kill, the more you earn!"
"We cannot lose the Si'an and Guangde positions easily! Because behind us is the capital. Once we are defeated, the capital behind us will also face huge dangers!"
"As for those puppet troops, they are not our opponents at all. Let the 432nd Brigade deal with them. I will personally lead the main force, the 433rd Brigade, to sit in Guangde and attack the 18th Division!"
"Didn't I hear that they were severely damaged by the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army led by our Commander He Feiyang on the other side of Cangcheng and Songjiang City? How come they still have a complete establishment now?"
"Have the new recruits been replenished? Do the Japs provide supplies so quickly?"
After listening to the battle report,
Division Commander Rao Guohua also gave instructions decisively.
And they were also full of confusion as to why the Japanese 18th Division could still have a complete organization to carry out operations.
"Report! Division! This is unclear at the moment, but the Japanese 18th Division is a complete division with more than 20,000 troops!"
"This is a reality that all frontline reconnaissance troops and combat troops have seen with their own eyes!"
"Well! Forget it, no matter whether the Japs' supplies are really so fast and powerful, in today's battle, regardless of life or death, we will fight to the end and kill one more Japs to be buried with us!"
Division commander Rao Guohua waved his hand and said.
"Yes! Master!"
Operations Staff Officer Li Demin immediately nodded in agreement.
Immediately, he quickly conveyed the other party's order to the officers of each unit.
The division commander Rao Guohua did not waste any time and immediately led his main force, the 433rd Brigade, to guard Guangde, waiting for the battle with the Japanese 18th Division.
At this moment, he was ready to fight to the end and sacrifice himself for his country at any time to resist the incoming Japanese army.
at the same time,
The Third Theater Command issued a new combat order,
In addition to the 1st Army troops, which can evacuate to Changzhou and Zhenjiang, the main force immediately conducts an emergency evacuation to the Zhejiang-Anhui border area.
Of course, the troops originally left behind in Nanjing, the capital, were the 36th Division, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division, the Teaching Corps, as well as the military police and police forces, as well as the 9 divisions left in the third theater, and the 2nd Army.
The 66th Army, the 83rd Army, and the 74th Army all continued to stay in the capital to resist the incoming Japanese troops.
After obtaining a certain amount of support from the main force,
Commander Tang, the commander-in-chief of Nanjing, the capital, decided to restore the southeastern main position area as the first defensive front, and to increase the depth of the position and enhance defense capabilities,
Therefore, the latest combat troops are still the right-wing troops sent by the 72nd Army to guard Zhenjiang and serve as right-wing cover.
The 74th Army serves as the garrison of Niushou Mountain and Chunhua Town, plus of course the Sichuan Army troops of Commander Liu Xiang; and troops will also be sent to Hushu Town and other places for defense.
The 66th Army also assisted the 74th Army in the defensive operations in the Chunhua Town area, but it also had to be responsible for the defense of the Funiu Mountain and Jurong areas.
In addition to Funiu Mountain, the 83rd Army also has to serve in places such as Longtan and Xia Shu.
At this time, the final moments of the Jiangyin naval battle were about to begin.
After the bombing attack by the powerful Japanese flying troops,
The several capital ships "Ninghai", "Pinghai", "Yixian", "Chuyou", "Jiankang" and "Yingrui" on which the Nationalist Navy relies for its existence have all been destroyed by the Japanese carrier-based aircraft groups and fleets.
After being sunk into the sea, the Chinese navy has ceased to exist in name only.
But the Japanese army still had no intention of giving up chasing the last remaining national fleet.
So soon the Japanese aircraft carriers continued to take off all the Type 92 naval attack and Type 95 naval battles of the 2nd United Air Force and the 12th Air Force.
For this reason, on November 30, the Japanese 11th Squadron approached the Jiangyin blockade with five warships, and the national navy's fortress artillery groups at Wushan Fort and Jiangyin Fortress Bingtai also immediately fired artillery fire to bombard the incoming Japanese ships.
.
The Xishan Terrace and Huangshan Terrace of Jiangyin Fortress each have a 150mm fortress cannon to assist in the bombing operation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fortress artillery shells continued to bombard the incoming Japanese ships that could be seen on the sea.
The Japanese army reorganized the 11th Division, and the new commander was Major General Eijiro Kondo.
As for the original commander, Major General Tanimoto, he was dismissed due to the defeat.
The main team of the battle group is under the jurisdiction of: Anzai, Kenda and Toba, while the cover team is under the jurisdiction of the cruiser groups such as Yaeyama, Kururi, Ku, and Ren.
The minesweeping team has four minesweeping tugboats, as well as the security team, which has the gunboats Tsu, Hira, Seta, and Saga, and the joint forces conduct operations for the seaplane carrier Kamikawa Maru.
In the command room of the 11th team's seaplane carrier Kamikawa Maru, Major General Kondo Eijiro was holding a telescope and looking at the view on the sea, especially the Osan Fort and Jiangyin Fortress Bingtai.
There are also the shelling and bombing situations of the fortress artillery groups of Xishantai and Huangshantai of Jiangyin Fortress.
A large number of Japanese warships, such as the cruiser Hiei and the cruiser Yaeyama, followed the seaplane carrier Kamikawa Maru to protect it.
"Hey! These Chinese troops have been crippled by us and the Navy Department has been crippled. Do you still want to continue to struggle here to survive?"
"With only a few small ships and forts left, do you think they can withstand the attack of our Imperial Navy?"
"It's really ridiculous!"
"Immediately let the 2nd United Air Force and the 12th Air Force take off the carrier-based aircraft groups and seaplanes to blow up all these annoying China Army forts and fortresses!"
"In addition, find me the remaining fleet of the other party and blow them all to the bottom of the river to feed the fish!"
"I want these Chinese troops to know how powerful our imperial navy is. Even if we cannot dispatch a large fleet to launch an attack, my aircraft carrier fleet alone is enough to annihilate them all!"
"Jiangyin Fortress must be completely taken down by me within an hour, and the flag of our Imperial Navy must be planted on it!"
After watching the naval battle,
The new commander, Rear Admiral Eijiro Kondo, showed a disdainful expression and a contemptuous smile, and issued a series of naval battle orders after his new appointment.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
The Japanese naval officers and combat staff beside the new commander, Major General Kondo Eijiro, immediately responded,
Soon, the Japanese aircraft groups of the Type 92 Ship Attack and Type 95 Ship Battle that had successfully taken off for attack began to launch ferocious bombings on the various coastal defense fortresses and fortresses on the Jiangyin defense line held by the national army.
