As soon as Zhu Zaiting's troops launched a counterattack, Xie Changan had no choice but to follow him even though he didn't want to. Once the 19th Regiment under his personal command launched a counterattack, all the frontline troops would counterattack.
This made Qian Guangming quite confused.
Follow up? What if the Japanese heavy artillery takes this opportunity to open fire? If you don't follow up, can Zhu and Xie be able to charge with the strength of the two regiments alone?
Just when he was hesitating, someone reported that the commander had arrived. After hearing this, he immediately relaxed and rushed to greet him. Without talking nonsense, he asked directly: "Commander, Brigadier Zhu and Brigadier Xie are leading People have launched a counterattack, should we follow them?"
Ouyang Yun worked hard. He drove the car himself and drove it as fast as possible. Originally, the road conditions in Nanjing were good. However, after the crazy shelling and bombing by the Japanese army in the past few days, big potholes and small potholes were everywhere, plus off-road vehicles. The shock-proof performance of his body cannot be compared with that of later generations, so during this journey, his butt was almost broken in half. But now it seems that his hard work was worth it. Don’t you see, the Guanghua Gate is still in our hands?
After taking a few deep breaths and stretching his buttocks casually, Ouyang Yun said: "Zhu Zaiting and Xie Chang'an are bold, and they are not afraid of being attacked by the Japanese army. Don't follow them. I am not worried about anything now. I am only worried about the Japanese army." Heavy artillery, the Japanese army is crazy and can do anything. As soon as you go up, I can be sure that Yoshihashi Ryosuke will order the artillery to bombard without discrimination. You should use it as a fort and send two people up there to correct and shoot Zhu Yuan. Using a walkie-talkie to contact us can also play a big role. Guangming, please send someone to take Zheliang to make a call and tell Commander Li that the Guanghua Gate has not been lost and other departments are still holding on."
Qian Guangming arranged for Liu Zheliang to be taken away, while Ouyang Yun took Liu Kui and others to the front line.
When he stepped to the top of the ruins, he looked around and saw that in the relatively flat area below the ruins, the trainees led by Zhu Zaiting and Xie Changan, and the forwards of the mixed Sichuan army were already entangled with the Japanese, and they were shouting to kill. In the middle, military uniforms of camouflage color, khaki gray, and khaki yellow are interspersed. From time to time, someone falls down, and the newcomers fill up without hesitation.
Ouyang Yun's good mood suddenly disappeared: "How could it be like this? This is a pure war of attrition."
In the distance, more and more Japanese troops are entering the battlefield, and the Xuechuan Allied Forces are obviously unable to rush forward. What's terrible is that they are already a hundred meters away from the center of the ruins.
The situation was urgent at that time, and Zhu Zaiting had good intentions in taking advantage of the situation. However, what he should not have done was to resolutely choose to return to the army when he drove the Japanese troops away from the dangerous area. Now, after being entangled by the Japanese troops , even if he wanted to return to the army, he was unable to do so.
Ouyang Yun was anxious, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he said to Liu Kui: "Quick, go find Qian Guangming and let them attack."
Liu Kui also saw the seriousness of the war situation, nodded and jumped down,
Ouyang Yun quietly observed the size of the Japanese follow-up troops and judged that Yoshizhu Ryosuke had dispatched at least one brigade of troops. He said to Chen Deru, the deputy commander of the guard regiment beside him: "Yoshizhu Ryosuke, this old Japanese devil, will do it this time." It’s a big investment, so that’s fine. I’m not afraid that he will carry out indiscriminate bombardment. Brothers, come with me.”
When Chen Deru heard this, his expression immediately changed. He stopped Ouyang Yun and said, "Commander, this is not acceptable."
Ouyang Yun raised his eyebrows and shouted: "What's wrong? You want to rebel."
His voice was stern, but Chen Deru remained unmoved and said firmly: "Commander, before we came out, Mr. Jiang and Deputy Commander Li made an announcement that you will never be allowed to participate in front-line battles. You can't make it difficult for us."
Ouyang Yun stared at him, while the latter stared at him with no sign of flinching. After more than ten seconds, Ouyang Yun lost his temper and cursed: "Damn it, who is the commander between the two of us, Chen Heizi?" , I can tell you, if Zhu Zaiting and Xie Changan are trapped below, the responsibility will fall on your shoulders."
The reason why Chen Deru got the nickname "Chen Heizi" was because he dared to deny his relatives and adhere to his principles. When Ouyang Yun said this, his expression did not change and he said: "If this is really the case, I am willing to bear it."
Ouyang Yun laughed angrily at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma, if I had known better, I wouldn't have brought you out."
Chen Deru lowered his head and said nothing,
Fu Qiunan, the commander of the first battalion next to him, saw that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he deliberately smoothed things over and said, "Commander, if this is not the case, I will lead the first battalion down to provide support."
Ouyang Yun also knew that the reason why Chen Deru dared to disobey him like this was because Jiang Shuren and Li Tieshu were backing him up. Speaking of which, Chen Deru's ability to reach this point was the result of his accidental knowledge of his nature and his deliberate cultivation. His original plan was to let him serve as the director of the Soldiers' Disciplinary Committee. Who knew that before this battle, Jiang Shu and Li Tieshu transferred him to the Guard Regiment. He had nothing to do with Chen Deru, and felt that Fu Qiu Nan's suggestion was a good one, and he nodded: "Okay, please give me a message to Zhu Zaiting and Xie Chang'an, and ask them to tighten up the team and make sure they don't get cut by the Japanese."
"Yes, brothers, come with me." Fu Qiunan, a soldier who didn't want to fight on the front line, immediately beamed after receiving the order. He shouted, took the lead, and rushed down with a battalion of guards.
And just as they left, underneath the ruins, the roar of tank engines rumbled, and fifty-six Jiguang tanks of various types roared up,
Yoshihashi Ryosuke stood on an armored vehicle, looking at the fighting battlefield with a telescope. His originally relaxed face gradually tightened.
The defenders dared to take the initiative to attack. This was not only beyond Asahi Shiro's expectation, but also surprised Yoshihashi Ryosuke. Of course, this kind of surprise was what he was happy to see, so he immediately ordered the 6th Reserve Brigade The whole regiment attacked: "Quick, quick, this is our opportunity, Akiyama Yoshiyun, I ask you to annihilate all the people in this branch, annihilate them all, understand, Major General Jingshu."
After the reorganization of the 9th Division, there were almost no changes in the original senior officers. For example, the brigade commander of the 35th Brigade was still Jing Shuxuanshi.
Jing Shuxuan suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Xuebing Army, and the 35th Brigade was almost wiped out. It can be said that the new 35th Regiment was formed based on the original 35th Brigade, because most of the officers had experienced the Second World War. The Second Great Wall Battle, so I hate the Xuebing Army very much, and what I dream about all the time is to fight with the Xuebing Army to regain my position.
When deciding on the main offensive force this time, Isho Nobutoki had a heated argument with Akiyama Yoshiyun, and finally it was Yoshihashi Ryosuke who made the decision. The 6th Brigade will attack first, but after entering Nanjing City, it will be the 35th Brigade. The regiment carried out the cleanup work,
After the battle began, Isho nobushi stayed close to Yoshihashi Ryosuke, but his idea was that if the 6th brigade failed to attack effectively, the 35th brigade would plunge into the battle without hesitation, which would inevitably give the cadet army a heavy damage,
After the 9th Division entered Nanjing, it fought several battles with the two armies of Zhang Fakui and Zhang Zizhong. It suffered the most serious losses among the Shanghai dispatched troops. For example, the 7th Regiment suffered severe losses from the two armies. strength, which is why it can only deploy three brigades of troops in this battle.
When Jingshu heard Yoshizhu Ryosuke calling him, he immediately stepped forward respectfully: "General."
"I originally thought that China would have a strong army from the Xuebing Army, but now it seems I was wrong. Those 'beggars' army' have no worse fighting will than the Xuebing Army. Mr. Jingshu, go assemble the team. Today we must enter Nanjing City. , no matter how great the sacrifice is, we will not hesitate.”
"Hai." Jingshu Xuanshi walked away happily, and Yoshizhu Ryosuke picked up the telescope again and looked at the battlefield, his face became more and more ugly.
The defenders took the initiative to attack. In his opinion, it was originally an opportunity. But now, this opportunity seems to have become a hard nut to crack.
Just in his telescope, a Sichuan soldier whose legs had been broken actually rolled into the middle of several soldiers, and then laughed and fired the grenade while being stabbed by two guns at the same time.
"I originally thought that among the Chinese people, the Xuebing Army was a collective of lunatics. Unexpectedly, it turned out that all the Chinese people were lunatics, including this 'beggar army'."
,,This is the emotion written by Yoshihashi Ryosuke when he recalled the battle after the end of World War II. This battle left a very deep impression on him with the bravery of the Sichuan soldiers and their fearlessness of death. Those skinny Chinese people were obviously already dead. Their vital parts were injured and their blood was running out, but they refused to die unless they could find one or two to be buried with them. Their tenacious fighting will even frightened the Kanazawa division, which was famous for its fierceness in Japan. It seemed to Liangsuke that the battle was supposed to be one-sided, but the situation could not be settled for a long time. When more than fifty Jiguang vehicles rushed over the top of the ruins and headed towards the battlefield, the old Japanese knew that he had lost this battle again.
If it is a Japanese army that has never dealt with the Jiguang tank, when a behemoth like the "Jiguang" appears in front of them, although they will be afraid, they will definitely fight back as much as possible, and For the Japs of the 9th Division, "Jiguang" is equivalent to a nightmare for them. Facing this kind of steel monster that can't even knock down the 120mm mountain cannon, they only have grenades and 38-meter caps. As small as an ant,
When Qian Guangming passed by Ouyang Yun, he once consulted the latter: How can the deterrent power of "Jiguang" be exerted?
Ouyang Yun replied: "Put down the top cover and run over to a crowded place. Don't worry about the swords and guns. As long as you don't accidentally hurt your own people, everything will be fine."
Qian Guangming faithfully carried out this order, and the tanks he commanded rushed down the ruins at the top of the pile, rushing like a roaring rhinoceros towards the group of Japanese soldiers carrying 38-meter caps. Wherever they passed, the Japanese soldiers screamed and fled in all directions. , but the unlucky guy couldn't avoid it, was knocked down and crushed with a miserable howl, and turned into a pile of flesh and blood.
As mentioned earlier, many of the current soldiers of the 9th Division have just joined, so in their minds, they do not know how terrifying "Jiguang" is. However, the fierce folk customs in Kanazawa area make it difficult for them to join the army. A few people were holding rifles and shooting at the tank. In an attempt to gather the crowd, they immediately knocked down the steel monster with a 38-meter cover. Of course, their fate was tragic without exception, and their approach could only be described as using a mantis to block a car. point,
If before the appearance of the tank regiment, the two warring parties on the battlefield were still evenly matched, then with the emergence of "Jiguang", the battle has turned into a one-sided massacre.
Massacre, this is what Ouyang Yun wants to return to the little devil the most.
