Chapter 224: A different battle for defense of Nanjing (V)
After the retreat order was issued, the 87th Division and the 88th Division took advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese 6th Division shrinking and retreating, and quickly arranged for a retreat. The 103rd Division, 112th Division, and the remaining units of the 2nd Brigade and 3rd Regiment of the Second Brigade of the Teaching Corps also retreated one after another.
When the national army retreats, the most terrible time is that when a large-scale retreat occurs, all troops are always rushing to stay behind, and everyone is afraid of staying behind. Especially the Central Army, when the retreat is often the high-ranking officials run first and the small-ranking officials run later.
In the end, the soldiers could not find the commander. When Nanjing was lost in history, a very sad scene occurred: a group of retreating soldiers met the Japanese army who was chasing him near Xiaguan. Unfortunately, no officer commanded him, and the soldiers begged in the end.
A lieutenant colonel in charge of logistics came out to command. The lieutenant colonel said that he only knew logistics, did not know how to fight, and could not command. The soldiers begged: "The sir, just order us to fight." The officer then ordered a counterattack.
, This matter now looks a bit like black humor, but it is indeed a fact, and it also proves the rigidity of the training of the national army from another aspect.
Although the situation has improved a lot now, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was beaten to shrink its position, but the 87th Division and 88th Division retreat were still very chaotic. Wang Jingjiu was helpless and knew that if this continued, it would be a big trouble if the Japanese army caught up with him.
After discussing with Sun Yuanliang and Xiao Shanling, Xiao Shanling volunteered to lead the remnants of the military police force under his command to cover the main force to retreat quickly.
Wang Jingjiu was embarrassed to let Xiaoshanling Palace Queen, whose troops were basically exhausted, wanted to draw his own troops. Xiaoshanling said sadly: "Don't fight anymore. We are familiar with the terrain of Nanjing and can take it out no matter what. You guys go!"
Only then did Wang Jingjiu replenish some ammunition for Xiao Shanling and led the main force to retreat.
Huo Shouyi and Dai Zhiqi, who were fighting street battles, were also in a bad situation. Under the fierce attack of the Japanese elite corps, the two divisions suffered heavy losses, and the troops were mixed with the Japanese army again. As soon as they relaxed, they rushed over there. The retreat was
After ordering, the troops had no intention of fighting again and retreated one after another, and immediately became disorganized.
Fortunately, at that time, the cohesion of the small troops of the Miscellaneous Army was stronger than that of the Central Army, because Miscellaneous Army was most afraid of the collapse of the troops. Grassroots officers had a set of local methods to win people's hearts, and their relationship with soldiers was generally relatively strong. This way, it was easy.
The small troops formed to fight each other. When Wan Shijiong led the remaining troops to pull them off from the line of fire, he could no longer contact the acting division commander Dai Zhiqi.
Wan Shijiong is indeed tough. He commanded the troops to retreat while fighting, and kept receiving soldiers along the way. Under the cover of night, he retreated to Xiaguan.
Lieutenant General Tani Shouo, who was beaten up in a cold manner, finally understood the plot of the Chinese army. He was so angry that he ordered the entire division to enter the city, pursue the Chinese army, and eliminate all Chinese people who dared to resist.
With this force from the Sixth Division, it immediately caught up with the remnants of the military police force led by Xiao Shanling to be in charge of the rear of the palace. Xiao Shanlingsheng is familiar with the terrain and can fully exert firepower; Tani Shousuo is in advanced equipment and well-trained troops.
War has its iron laws. Although Xiaoshan gave them the will of death to die with the enemy, they still could not stop the Japanese army's iron hooves.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, but the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was filled with firelights everywhere. The wind was floating, mixed with the sound of Japanese guns and cannons, shouts, armored vehicles, and roars of tanks and motors.
Xiao Shanling knew that the Japanese army had entered the city in several groups and had basically controlled Nanjing. He couldn't help but feel sad. He glanced at Nanjing in the night with tears in his eyes. He turned around and asked the remaining brothers who had made a company of friends.
"Although Nanjing was lost in our hands, we did not embarrass the Chinese people. We killed a large number of Japanese troops, we are good! Brothers, prepare explosive packs and grenades, and wait for the enemy to come up,
Fry him! Get out after the blow up."
The Japanese army caught up again, but it was still the same, with tanks and armored vehicles in front and infantry behind, shooting and chasing forward.
Seeing that the Japanese arrived, Xiao Shanling gave the order, and immediately the grenade and explosive pack were smashed, causing the Japanese to cry and howl.
Xiao Shanling smiled with a cracked mouth, stood up and shouted "retreat", and hit him with a bullet. Xiao Shanling shook his body and scolded him, and was about to look down at the wound, but it was
Several bullets came, but Xiao Shanling could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
When several brothers ran over and pulled Xiaoshanling up, he could no longer open his eyes. Several people hid into the night with their sacrificed commanders on their backs.
By dawn, the Japanese army had completely occupied Nanjing and the plaster flags floated.
Matsui Ishione received the report and was so excited that he sent a report to the base camp, saying that he had completely occupied Nanjing, the capital of China on the morning of the 15th.
On this day, Japan fell into madness. The newspapers covered news about Nanjing and the occupation of Nanjing. The radio station also broadcasted the occupation of Nanjing and played songs, and kept tossing. Even ordinary Japanese people posted it.
I was crazy about my heart, and when I met and talked, I would definitely say that I had a great victory in Nanjing. I would definitely say that Lieutenant General Yoshisuke had peeked at the snow-white breasts of a certain mother when he was young. The girl of a certain brother once bathed in a hot spring with Lieutenant General Tanisuo
, The wife of XXX was once the lover of Lieutenant General Isao Nakajima, but now the general is busy fighting in China and doesn't care about coming back to reminisce about his old relationship with his lover. Some even assert that with such an elite Japanese Imperial Army,
If you kill the Soviet Union, you will probably be able to go straight to Moscow. If you confront the US military, there will be no problem. Anyway, the height of the Japanese people is a bit problematic and need to be improved. Everyone will be beaten. It is better to just play bigger and beat them.
In this way, the Soviet Union or the United States could implement the millennium plan and a ten thousand-year cause of improving the race.
Especially those crazy Japanese girls actually asked to be comfort women to go to China to comfort the warriors of the hard-working and condolences of the Imperial Army.
For a moment, Japan was in chaos and everyone was dizzy as if they had drunk too much wine, not knowing where they were.
However, the Japanese division commanders who occupied Nanjing were not happy because they were not happy. They searched all over Nanjing but did not find a few living Chinese people. They worked hard, spent so much ammunition and medicine, and sacrificed so much
What a loyal and brave Imperial Army soldier, Nanjing is actually an empty city!
Yoshisu Ryosuke, Tanisuo, and Nakajima Atsuo and several Japanese chiefs gathered together after they met. At first, they discussed the whereabouts of the main force of the Chinese army. As they were talking, they began to blame each other, but later they developed into Bagabaga.
In the end, several guys naturally greeted each other's women, but they naturally fought together.
Major General Yoshihiro Akiyama, the commander of the 6th Brigade of the Ninth Division, was stimulated by the huge contrast and got his nerves malfunctioned. He drew his sword and slashed three guards in a row. He took off his military uniform, wrapped himself in a piece of crotch, and waved his sword.
The streets were running around, and they kept shouting: "Despicable Chinese, timid Chinese, get out and return my 7th Regiment!"
They all avoided, fearing that they would be the devil of this crazy major general.
After Matsui Ishien arrived in Nanjing and inspected the battlefield situation of the offensive and defensive battle in Nanjing, his face turned from red to white, then to blue, and finally turned into a piece of sauce-purple.
A group of senior Japanese generals surrounded Matsui Ishigen and did not dare to speak out for a moment, for fear that General Matsui Ishigen would say some humiliating words in anger, which would make people unable to come to Taiwan.
Matsui Ishione graduated with the second place when he went to the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the first place when he went to the Army University. He is a famous Japanese expert in the battle and a veteran China Communications Group. This person is short, but has great ambitions. He once had a relationship with Hu Hanmin
Chen Jitang, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Zhang Qun, Chiang Kai-shek and others talked about the conversation. The biggest wish in normal times is to promote Asiaticism and invade China.
This guy likes to fan the flames in China the most. Whenever something happens, as long as he can get involved, he will inevitably provide secret funds, hoping that China will be as chaotic as possible.
In this Battle of Shanghai, the Japanese base camp re-summoned Matsui Ishione, the core general of the Imperial Dojo who was suspected of participating in the murder of the Military Affairs Bureau, Nagata Tengyama, and appointed him as the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army. When he later formed the Central China Front Army, he appointed him as the Central China Front Army.
The commander unified command of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army and the 10th Army, with the purpose of capturing Nanjing and encircling and annihilation of the main force of the Chinese army.
Before leaving Japan and going to Shanghai, Matsui Ishione told the Lu Prime Minister Sugiyama that he would go to Nanjing no matter what. Now, Nanjing has occupied it, but he never expected that the Chinese army would escape and give it to the Japanese army.
After major damage, he escaped unscathed.
Matsui Ishione wanted to slap the commanders of several divisions one by one, but he was the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops after all, so he still wanted this kindness and temperament. Therefore, after his mood calmed down, he ordered the divisions to count the damage to combat and consolidate it.
The occupied areas and strengthened the defense of Nanjing, and then a press conference was held.
At the press conference, General Matsui Ishione looked up and said proudly that the Imperial Army occupied the capital of China, which not only shows that the Imperial Army has strong combat power and the Chinese army is vulnerable, but also shows that the time to establish a community of interests between Japan, Manchuria and China is ripe. In the future,
The Imperial Army will not take Chiang Kai-shek's National Government as its opponent, but will concentrate its forces to completely destroy the anti-Japanese forces.
Harrett, who was invited by the Japanese army to come to Nanjing for an interview, still had a unique American temper of breaking the casserole and asking the end: "Great General, I am the chief reporter of the New York Times in China of the United States of America. I would like to ask.
, Your army has occupied Nanjing, but I found that Nanjing City seems to be an empty city, as if all the people here have run away. General, can you explain why this is?”
Matsui Ishien looked at Aban and smiled: "This reporter's observation is very keen, and I admire it very much. Yes, there are no residents in Nanjing now, because after our army entered the city, we found that the residents were basically all
In the spirit of humanitarianism, our army protected all the poor Chinese people and prepared to transport clothes, food and medicine from the Great Japanese Empire to completely solve the life problems of these people.
Wear clothes and food, we will invite Mr. reporters to visit.”
Aban laughed in his heart. The Japanese general told lies without blinking and was also an old liar who had become a spoiler. He asked: "Great General, American readers are very concerned about the situation of ordinary civilians behind Nanjing's fall. I am very willing to guide you in your army.
Next, go to interview the people and send the news of their safety back to the United States. I wonder if your Excellency General can approve it."
Matsui Ishione's tone was a little cold: "Mr. reporter, as far as I know, the Great Japanese Empire and the United States of America have good diplomatic relations, which are related to military operations. Please do not cause trouble and apply the relationship between Japan and the United States.
A trace of shadow. It will not benefit you and your family."
Harlett Aban doesn't eat this trick. This guy is a little heartless and then said: "Your Excellency General, you threaten me like this is an infringement of my right to interview freely on the press. I protest against this! I know,
Your army occupied Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China. The battle should be fierce, and it is appropriate for Chinese soldiers to die. However, along the way, I found that the bodies of the dead of your army seemed to be much more than those of Chinese soldiers.
.May I ask, Your Excellency General, has your army really won this battle to defend Nanjing?"
Matsui Ishiro's wrinkles are getting deeper and deeper, and the voice sounds gloomy: "Mr. Journalist, the record of the Great Japanese Imperial Army is unquestionable. We are already the masters of Nanjing. If you can stand here and ask me questions,
It all goes. I doubt whether you have collected money from the Chinese people or beautiful women and came to destroy our press conference with ulterior motives. I think it is necessary to send you to the US Embassy, please
Mr. Ambassador, please guide you on how to speak to the Japanese Army General."
After saying that, General Matsui Ishione waved his hand and rushed out of several guards like wolves and tigers, pressing Harret Aban's chest with a shaky bayonet, forcing him out of the venue, stuffing a car, and a scattered cigarette
The earth ran away.
Matsui Ishione was no longer in the mood to brag, ignoring the protests of a group of American and European journalists, walked out of the press conference venue with duck-like steps and left.
Just when the Japanese army captured Nanjing, General Shouyi, the commander of the North China Front Army, also directed a ugly drama in Peking, establishing the Provisional Government of the Republic of China. Wang Kemin served as chairman of the Administrative Committee, Tang Erhe, Gao Lingxiao, Qi Xieyuan, and Dong Kang.
, Jiang Chaozong, Wang Yitang, Zhu Shen and seven others served as members. Among them, the Administrative Committee has four departments, the Administrative Committee is chaired by Wang Kemin, the Public Security Ministry is chaired by Qi Xieyuan, the Legal Affairs Ministry is chaired by Zhu Shen, and the Relief Ministry is chaired by Wang Yitang. The Political Consultative Committee
Tang Erhe was appointed as chairman; Dong Kang was appointed as chairman. Later, the Administrative Committee added the Ministry of Education, Construction, Finance, etc., and changed the Ministry of Administration to the Ministry of Interior. The pseudo-"Provisional Government" decided to change Peking to Beijing, and the Five-color Flag was hung
.
Wang Kemin is from Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province. He is a juren from the late Qing Dynasty. He served as the Minister to Japan. He served as the Chief Finance Minister of the Beiyang Government for three times. Later, he served as the vice chairman of the Beiyang Finance Organization Committee organized by Zhang Xueliang. This guy looks like a dove-shaped swan
His face is like a skeleton. Because of his excessive sexual intercourse, he has to wear a pair of ink tea glasses all year round, and is known as "Blind Wang".
Confucius said that old age and never die is called a thief. People like Wang Kemin are not only old age and never die, but also willing to be a thief. They are full of glory and wealth, eating, drinking, gamble, and have no sense of shame. Wang Kemin, who was a puppet
Not only did he not feel that he was a doll in the hands of the Japanese, he instead came up with ideas and found a way to fear that China would be destroyed too slowly.
After the pseudo-provisional government established a meeting, Wang Kemin didn't bother to go home to rest, so he hurriedly followed General Shouyi of Shinai to the North China Front Command. He first knelt down and kowtowed three times to Shinai Sui, and then whispered in Japanese.
Thank you for your reinvention. Only after that, I explained the purpose of the army to expand the troops on a large scale and maintain the public security in North China and even the entire Imperial Army occupied areas.
Shiuichi Teraunai admires Wang Kemin very much and thinks he is the smartest and capable of this group of traitors. Seeing that Wang Kemin made such a good suggestion as soon as he took office, Shiuichi kept saying yoshi, and then praised Wang Kemin for being smart and wise, so that he could help him.
Let it go, the Imperial Army of Japan will strongly support him.
Then, after a while, Shou Nai's story, he said that Wang Jun is very good at appreciating women's colors and has beautiful beauty at home. If you have the chance, should I ask the commander to come and appreciate it?
Wang Kemin had already lost all his conscience at this time, so he didn't know the word "shame" and immediately said thank you for your respect. He heard that the commander was very powerful, and the people in the inner world hoped that the commander would be as happy as rain. It would be better to hit the day than to choose a day.
If the commander is interested, he can go and appreciate it now.
Ledeshi Shou's eyebrows were trembling with a smile, and even said that Wang Jun was very loyal to the Japanese Empire and his friends' work. After that, regardless of where the troops he sent were attacking, he followed Wang Kemin to carry out another job.
A tough battle.
Zhang Zhizhong waited in Pukou until the 87th Division, 88th Division, 102nd Division and 112th Division all retreated, and ordered the troops to quickly turn into the designated position to assemble. He also led the guards to guard Pukou with the 74th Army, waiting for Xiaoshan Order behind the hall.
.
It was not until dawn that the retreating military police troops arrived at Pukou. When Zhang Zhizhong saw the military police troops of the three regiments, there were only more than 30 people left. Commander Xiao Shanling died in battle, and immediately burst into tears. He looked back at the soldiers who came back.
After saluting one by one, Zhang Zhizhong ordered the military police to follow his guards to bring back Xiao Shanling's body, and then ordered the 74th Army to withdraw defense and transfer.
After receiving the telegram from Zhang Zhizhong's victory in Nanjing Defense Battle, our army annihilated more than 10,000 Japanese troops, and Deputy Commander of the Gendarmerie Major General Xiao Shanling died for his country, Chiang Kai-shek silently and immediately issued an order, posthumously awarding Xiao Shanling Lieutenant General of the National Revolutionary Army, saying that
Although the war on Nanjing lasted for a short time, it not only transferred the people and factories, but also severely damaged the Japanese army and achieved a major victory. Although our army withdrew from Nanjing, it took a strategic initiative; although the Japanese army occupied Nanjing,
The strategic goal of encircling and annihilation of our main force has not been achieved. In the future, each theater of war must learn from the experience of the Nanjing Defense War, carry forward the spirit of sacrifice, and actively seek and annihilate the enemy.
