The 18th Division and the 9th Division on the front of the Japanese army, under the command of Commander Matsui Iwane, are attacking the 83rd Army and the 66th Army of the national defense forces, while the elite 16th Division of the Japanese Army is heading towards
Marching towards the front line position of Nanjing, the capital of Tangshan area.
The combat mission of the elite 16th Division of the Japanese Army, dispatched by Matsui Iwane, was to occupy the Purple Mountain area of Nanjing, the capital, and to engage in fierce battles with the Central Teaching Corps in Hongmao Mountain and Laohu Cave.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Tangshan, Niushou Mountain, and various peripheral positions of the capital must be captured before attacking the Zijin Mountain area.
Japanese Matsui Iwane Headquarters,
"Your Excellency, Commander! All divisions have begun to approach the China Army and hold on to various front-line combat fronts. In particular, the 16th Division is taking the lead, advancing towards our first combat target, the Tangshan area.
I believe that soon we will have a battle with the 74th Army of the China Army that is holding on there!"
"In addition, our aviation force, which braved the bad weather to attack today, successfully bombed Nanjing, the capital city held by the China Army. The results were quite good. Many important military strongholds of the China Army were bombed.
Got it!"
"Including the remaining airport facilities of the China Army, almost all of them were destroyed by bombing!"
"Except for the remaining airport and the remaining anti-aircraft fire stronghold at Zijin Mountain, the rest of the important facilities of the China Army have been completely destroyed by bombs!"
"In addition to the above information, the 10th Army has already gathered with His Royal Highness Prince Jiuhiko of Asaka Palace, and has also commanded the divisions of the 10th Army to speed up the approach to the capital of the China Army, preparing to carry out a front and rear pincer attack with us, and seize the occupation in one fell swoop
The entire capital of China!”
"They expect that within three days, they will be able to reach Nanjing, the capital where the Chinese army is holding fast!"
Chief of Staff Jiro Yoshida personally reported to Commander Matsui Iwane.
"Yo Xi! It seems that all combat deployments are still under our control!"
"Inform me of the aviation force. When the weather gets better, they will immediately send additional flying troops to support the offensive of various divisions. We must complete the attack on Nanjing, the capital of the China Army, within three days, and end this attack as soon as possible.
China War!”
"The capital of China must plant the flag of our imperial army as soon as possible!"
"This country will belong to our imperial army!"
After hearing a series of good news, Commander Matsui Iwane suddenly beamed and smiled.
And he also expressed his inner ambition.
"Hai! Don't worry! I will immediately ask the staff to personally contact the aviation side to ensure that as soon as the weather improves, carpet bombing will be carried out against all the outer fronts of the China Army!"
"We will definitely blow up all the important military facilities of the China Army that are stubbornly resisting us!"
"To assist our various divisions, we can complete the attack on the capital of China within three days!"
Chief of Staff Jiro Yoshida nodded in agreement.
"Yo Xi! Thank you for your hard work!"
"Chief of Staff Yoshida!"
Matsui Iwane said happily.
"Hai!"
Chief of Staff Yoshida Jiro was also ambitious and agreed with a smile.
Immediately, he personally supervised the staff department and the communications department to contact the aviation force for attack operations, as well as communicate the coordinated operations of various divisions.
At this time, heavy rain was still falling in the capital Nanjing.
As for the Japanese aircraft groups that had almost completed their bombing, they were also preparing to evacuate back to their airports for rest and recuperation.
However, before these Japanese planes left the skies above the capital Nanjing, they suddenly saw the attack of a group of fighter jets sent by He Feiyang to attack.
