Ouyang Yun does not know that in this time and space, history has undergone tremendous changes. The most important point is that because of the joining of him and the Xuebing Army, the troops guarding Nanjing have undergone tremendous changes. In the original time and space, The Battle of Nanjing did not exist. The reason why the Japanese army attacked Nanjing was actually because after the Battle of Songhu, some Japanese troops took advantage of the situation and entered Jiangsu territory. This created an established fact that the Japanese base camp had to make adjustments and even changed the name of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force. Central China Front Army,
At that time and space, the garrison commander of Nanjing was Tang Zhisheng, and the garrison consisted of the 36th, 87th and 88th Divisions who had retreated from Shanghai, as well as the teaching corps.
Speaking of which, Ouyang Yun's luck is pretty good, because others don't know it, but he knows it very well. Even though the 26th Division and the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army are dressed in rags and are as unwelcome as beggars, the fact is Well, these two divisions had achieved great military exploits in that time and space, and were famous for their ability to fight. At that time, there were legends about the Sichuan Army and the Guangdong Army being particularly capable of fighting. A lot of information about the Sichuan Army came from these two Sichuan Army. ,
I don't know if I was frightened by Li Hanhun's so-called "power of life and death". The two divisions left by the Central Army are quite useless. Strictly speaking, these two divisions are just peripheral direct descendants of the Central Army and belong to the local area. The warlord's troops were later incorporated by Chiang Kai-shek. No matter in terms of equipment or the quality of the soldiers, they were completely different from those of his direct descendants. One of the divisions only had only 3,000 men. This shows that its officers were paid on an empty basis. the severity of
Ouyang Yun really did it. He held a military meeting and directly ignored the three useless divisions. This naturally caused a violent reaction among the officers and soldiers of the three divisions. Many people talked in private, and they were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to immediately You will have the opportunity to show off your own strength, so that this arrogant boy will know how powerful the Central Army is.
Of course, Ouyang Yun doesn't care, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to this, because he is now going all out to organize the evacuation of Nanjing citizens.
It is not difficult to persuade the citizens of Nanjing to evacuate. After all, the facts are before us. Three hundred thousand Japanese troops are raging in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As long as they do not want to be retained as traitors, facing the wolf-like Japanese, they can naturally do it. It is best to evacuate,
By the end of July, the retreat of the Central Army and the Central Government had ended, and the evacuation of Nanjing citizens was also in full swing. At this time, the Japanese army seemed to have woken up from a dream, and finally launched a fierce offensive.
On the water surface of Zhongshan Pier and Xiaguan, one small wooden boat after another was bouncing with the waves. Almost every boat was overloaded. Under the hard work of the boatman, the boat slowly sailed towards Pukou. But even so, The pier is still crowded with people,
Ouyang Yun led his guard regiment and was maintaining order by the river. With the ferry as the center, the air defense troops of the two regiments were deployed layer by layer. There were more than fifty anti-aircraft guns and more than two hundred anti-aircraft machine guns scattered across five square meters. Within a kilometer range, be ready to sniper at any time against invading enemy aircraft.
Since taking over as the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, Ouyang Yun moved all three divisions back from Pukou, and then reintegrated them. Finally, the air defense forces of the three divisions were gathered to form the air defense forces of these two regiments.
Ouyang Yun stood on the roof of an armored vehicle, holding a walkie-talkie microphone in his hand. He looked anxiously at the people waiting to cross the river. Suddenly, a voice came from the microphone: "Report, sightings in the southeast." Fourteen enemy planes."
He received the echo, then waved his hand and said to Liu Zheliang: "Notify the air defense troops that a Japanese plane is coming and prepare to fight."
"Yes." Liu Zheliang ran away quickly, but just as he squeezed into the crowd, the microphone rang again: "Zhongshan, Zhongshan, this is Da Dao, please reply."
He pressed the send button and said: "Received, this is Zhongshan, please speak."
"In the direction of Guanghuamen, the Japanese army has begun to attack."
Some officers and soldiers of the Langya Special Forces Brigade Sword Regiment led by Shan Renxiong now serve as Ouyang Yun's eyes and ears. They are scattered outside Nanjing, always monitoring the actions of the Japanese army.
Responsible for defending Guanghua Gate are the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Division and two regiments of the 26th Division, which also include two battalion-sized tank troops under the personal command of Qian Guangming.
"Guanghua Gate." Ouyang Yun said to himself, frowning slightly. Since the Chinese army began to shrink and withdraw in an orderly manner, the Japanese army slowly completed the siege of Nanjing. Now, the only gap left is This ferry is facing the direction of Pukou. The 11th Division was obviously frightened by the Xuebing Army and actually evacuated its original position. As the Central Army chose to withdraw south from the area on a large scale, this gap I have been beaten more and more, and now I am in a relatively safe stage.
"Zhongshan, Zhongshan, I am Da Dao, the 9th Division has begun to attack Zhonghua Gate..."
Ouyang Yun heard more and more enemy sentiments in his ears. He finally couldn't stand any longer. He called Liu Zheliang and asked him to lead a guard battalion to continue maintaining order here. Then he led Liu Kui and the remaining troops of the guard regiment towards Guanghua. Go to the door,
At Guanghua Gate, the battle has begun. Amidst the rumbling cannons, a large number of houses were set on fire. Behind a fortification made of woven bags facing Guanghua Gate, a company of Sichuan troops and a company of cadet officers and soldiers stood on top. Wearing steel helmets and hunching their necks, they are waiting for the artillery fire to subside. Speaking of which, the Sichuan army officers and soldiers are really pitiful. Except for some generals and guard troops, the troops of the two divisions are equipped with helmets. The other officers and soldiers of the ordinary regiment can only Wearing a cloth hat, Ouyang Yun's first order after taking over the post of Nanjing Garrison Commander was to distribute all the supplies in a military warehouse affiliated to the former Kuomintang Central Training Corps, thereby ensuring that the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army Everyone has at least a steel helmet and gas mask.
Opposite Guanghua Gate, there used to be a relatively prosperous street. Considering that the houses on both sides of this street were not conducive to defense, Ouyang Yun acted as a saboteur and asked the engineering troops of the Xuebing Army to clear all the houses. It was leveled, thus creating an open area of one square kilometer facing Guanghua Gate.
The Japanese army's attack was still the same as before. It started with a fierce enough artillery bombardment. After thinking that it had almost destroyed the Chinese army's fortifications, it began to dispatch a mixed force of tanks and infantry.
The demolished residential houses provided the defense forces with enough raw materials for building fortifications, which also allowed the fortifications composed of residual bricks and rubble packed in woven bags to basically survive after two consecutive rounds of shelling.
When the Japanese artillery fire began to extend into the city, nine tanks from one of the tank companies of the two battalions of tanks commanded by Qian Guangming slowly drove out from their original hiding places and faced Guanghuamen Five on the left and right. Stopped about a hundred meters away,
The shelling of this area finally stopped. Ten minutes later, as the gate of Zhonghua Gate exploded with a bang, a Chilo took the lead, followed by more than thirty Japanese soldiers, the first wave of tentative attacks by the Japanese army. here we go,
As soon as the Chilo tank passed through the door, Qian Guangming ordered: "Fire."
Then, nine Jiguang L-2 tanks fired at the same time. Amidst the "rumbling" explosions, with the Chilo as the center, a brilliant fire exploded in the doorway of the Guanghua Gate. The Chilo included The thirty or so Japs who followed closely behind were all killed without firing a single shot.
Behind the first woven bag fortification facing Guanghua Gate, the Sichuan officers and soldiers had already gripped their steel guns and were ready for battle. Seeing all this, one of the platoon leaders breathed a sigh of relief and said to a cadet next to him. The army platoon leader blurted out: "MMP, no wonder your student army can defeat little Japan one after another. These tanks are powerful."
The platoon leader of the Xuebing Army looked at the shell gun in the opponent's hand and said with a smile: "That's natural. In a war, courage alone is not enough. If the weapons are good, many people can be saved."
Ever since the platoon leader of the Sichuan Army knew that Wei Qing-style firearms could shoot continuously, he had always wanted to get one for fun. However, no matter how nice he said, no soldier from the Xuebing Army was willing to be generous. Hearing the platoon leader of the Xuebing Army say this , He nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, brother, how about we alternate beatings when the little Japs come up later. Don't worry, I will never harm you. I know your gun is just a submachine gun. It’s just that the gun body is a little longer.”
The platoon leader of the Xubing Army curled his lips and said: "It's really no good. During a war, you can't let go of your weapons no matter what. If you really want to play, then wait until the battle is over. Brother, you can't force me to make mistakes. What."
...The two platoon leaders were chattering. The Japanese army's tentative attack was just repelled. No, it was defeated. The Japanese army's first attack was obviously not worth the gain. Why, not to mention the loss of a small team. The most terrible thing is that the bombed Chilo just blocked the Guanghua Gate. Next, if the Japanese army wants to launch another attack, they will not be able to use tanks.
It's a coincidence that the Japanese army that attacked Guanghuamen turned out to be Yoshizhu Ryosuke's 9th Division. You know, when they were in North China, the 9th Division suffered a big loss at the hands of the Xuebing Army and was almost defeated. annihilated,
When Ouyang Yun rushed to Guanghua Gate, the Japanese army just launched the third wave of attacks. Different from the previous two attacks, this time, the Japanese army's attack could be said to be unafraid of casualties. In just a quarter of an hour, in Nearly two hundred corpses were left in the doorway of Guanghua Gate. In the words of the cadet army platoon leader: He is NND. My hands are sore. This is not how you die, a bastard brat. And what he said Within five minutes, they realized the true intention of the Japanese army, because five minutes later, Japanese soldiers also appeared on the city wall. It was these Japanese soldiers who took advantage of their superiority to give the two companies responsible for the first round of defense a huge blow. of killing,
