As soon as I heard Matsui Iwane mention the 16th Division that had been wiped out, Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko's eyes suddenly froze. The destruction of the 16th Division was an eternal pain in the hearts of both him and Matsui Iwane. The entire division cost 20,000 people.
Many people were wiped out right under their noses, making them the laughingstock of the Japanese military circles. Prince Komiya Hatohiko could not swallow this tone of voice.
After thinking about it for a while, Prince Jiuyan of the Asaka Palace said unwillingly: "Otherwise, I will ask the 114th Division and the 101st Division to step up their attack on their outer positions and explore the reality first."
"That's fine, Your Majesty the Prince, you have to be careful when commanding the attack. Don't move the headquarters too far forward to avoid being ambushed by the Chinese." Matsui Iwane thought about it for a while and agreed. He also wanted to see if Su Tong was still alive.
What trump cards do you have?
On the campus of Nanjing Jinling University, two young students were walking on the campus, their faces flushed by the north wind. As they walked, they whispered, "Brother, our school is moving to Chahar, are you going?" A body
A sturdy student with a Chinese character face.
Another young man with a thin face nodded: "I will definitely go. I have long wanted to see what Chahar is like under General Su. Is he as hopeful as what was said on the radio?
place."
"I heard that the Chahar government ordered college students there to undergo military training every week. Aren't you afraid?" the companion teased.
"What am I afraid of? General Su said that only by having a strong body can we better serve the motherland. Besides, if others can do it, why can't I?"
A cold snort sounded next to him, "What about Chahar? No matter how they pretend, the nature of warlords cannot be changed. What qualifications do a group of capitalist vampires have for us to follow them instead of going to Chahar to be capitalist?"
The wine ponds and meat forests are corroded, I would rather evacuate to Hunan and Anhui together with the people."
When the two of them turned around to look at each other, the previously thin student suddenly said angrily: "Well, Wang Lin, you are noble, you are afraid of being corrupted, no one forces you to go to Chahar, then you can go to Hunan, those in Anhui
I will continue to be your coward."
"Hmph, I would rather be a tortoise than go to Chahar." After saying this, the young man named Wang Lin left without looking back.
This scene made the principal Chen Yuguang on the side sigh secretly after seeing it. Yesterday, after General Su Tong ordered all the schools in Nanjing, including Jinling University and Jinling Women's University, to be relocated, the students had some ideological confusion. Although
Most of the students were in favor of going to Chahar, but there were still a few students who were unwilling to go, and the two sides argued fiercely.
Scenes like this happened from time to time in various campuses in Nanjing. After the news reached Su Tong's ears, the people below asked Su Tong if he should deal with it severely. Su Tong just said lightly: "Forget it, you can't be a couple by being tied up, and you can't be strong by force."
It’s not sweet, let’s not force them, let them go their own way.”
When Su Tong held a meeting of senior generals of the Nanjing garrison and proposed to evacuate Nanjing, the people below were silent. Everyone was afraid of being regarded as the last remaining troops and scapegoats. Su Tong shook his head secretly, how could the Congress Party
All the troops had this kind of virtue, and they could fight in peacetime, but when they heard about the retreat, they fell into chaos and scrambled for fear that they would be used as cannon fodder. In the end, Su Tong pounded the table and ordered the 10th Infantry Division and the 41st Infantry Division.
The last remaining troops left them speechless.
Su Tong also decided at the meeting to collect valuable things such as all universities, middle schools and various government agencies in Nanjing, as well as celebrities from all walks of life in Nanjing, museums and other valuable things. In order to rush to transport these materials, Su Tong also specially mobilized dozens of airships.
The transportation continued day and night and took nearly a week to complete. At the same time, Su Tong also ordered the air force to block both sides of the Yangtze River so that hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing could evacuate to Anhui, Hunan, Hubei and other territories. Said
Although the military saw it, they had lost their air control and had no choice but to watch countless supplies and people evacuate one after another from land and air.
After nearly ten days of evacuation, our Chief Su finally evacuated almost the entire city of Nanjing. The remaining few people, Su Tong, who refused to leave their homeland, had no choice but to let it go.
At the Nanjing Airport, Su Tong stood in front of Aunt Juncker's cabin door, looking at the almost empty city that had been evacuated, thinking that this time my brother had finally done something good and finally avoided the tragedy.
What a waste of time.
Listening to the fierce gunfire coming from outside the city, Su Tong ordered the staff around him to tell Li Daxi and Peng Zeyuan that they could alternately cover their retreat after dark today, and there would be enough planes left at the airport to cover them.
"Da da da"
A string of 7.7mm caliber bullets from the Type 92 heavy machine gun grazed Wu Chengfeng's helmet and hit the soil around him, frightening Wu Chengfeng who was happily beating the mg42 into a cold sweat, "Damn, I'm here again.
There was a dance on the tip of the knife. This little Japanese is really desperate to kill and is rushing to be reincarnated."
After knowing that he was being targeted by the Japanese machine gun, Wu Chengen quickly picked up the machine gun and carried the ammunition to the preset machine gun position next to him. He did not forget to shout at the top of his voice, "Er Gouzi, your fucking eyes are blind.
Didn't you see the Japanese machine gun chasing my ass? Hurry up and kill that bitch."
As he spoke, Wu Chengen came to another nearby preset position and set up the machine gun. The sound of tearing off the oilcloth "click, click, click" sounded again, and the dense rain of bullets swept towards the attacking Japanese army.
As Wang Qinglong's 4th Artillery Division and various artillery units gradually withdrew, the troops of the 10th Infantry Division and the 41st Infantry Division also gradually withdrew to the Central Gate. Several important points of the Zhonghua Gate and the Central Gate continued to hold.
The 1st Division and the 114th Division were also pressing forward step by step under the command of Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko. However, these two second-class divisions continued to attack for three days but were still unable to make any progress.
Looking at the nearby city of Nanjing, Prince Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace couldn't help but burst into anger. Today he personally came to the headquarters of the 101st Division to supervise the battle.
"Jun Xishan, although your 101st Division is not a first-class division, it is still a powerful force. You have been fighting against the Chinese Sect opposite for three days, but you have lost more than 3,000 Japanese Empire soldiers.
You have achieved nothing except the lives of the warriors. I really doubt your command ability, what do you think?"
Listening to the strange words of Prince Asaka Miyakohiko, Nishiyama Fukutaro was so angry that he could hardly speak. Why is it that my brother is not in the first-class division, but he has become something that my grandma and uncle don't love? I have no command ability.
If the first-class divisions are capable, why don't you call them in? Why do you let us second-class bums work hard?
Nishiyama Fukutaro, who was forced to a dead end, felt that he had lost face, so he came to the Zhonghua Gate in person to supervise the battle, and urged the three regiments below to take turns to launch a pig attack.
Seeing the wave after wave of Japanese troops rushing toward the position, Ren Ran, the commander of the 31st Regiment stationed at Zhonghua Gate, sneered after seeing it, "The little devil is really out of his mind. He actually enjoys this kind of thing."
How to deal with us, quickly request air force support and give them a few big guys to try."
As the channel was turned on, six Stuka bombers that had been hovering in the sky for a long time roared towards the Japanese troops on the ground who were launching an attack.
"Boom boom"
A series of explosions sounded, and the 3, 4, and 4 regiments that were attacking in a wave formation were immediately submerged in the black mist.
"Asshole, tell the 344th Regiment to withdraw, and the 345th Regiment will follow and charge." Seeing the heavy losses of his troops, Lieutenant General Nishiyama Fukutaro felt his lips bleed, but he was so angry that he lost his head again.
Prepare to order the next unit, Kaihua Temple, to launch a charge.
"Division Commander, you must not do it." The chief of staff on the side quickly ordered and stopped Nishiyama Fukutaro, "Division Commander, you must not do it. Look at this situation. No matter how many soldiers we have, we are not enough to support the bombing of that person's plane."
Yes, if we continue like this our division will be finished. I think we should ask Your Excellency the Prince to deploy another first-class division to attack."
It's okay if the chief of staff didn't say anything. When he mentioned the first-class division, Nishiyama Fukutaro felt a rush of heat rush from his chest to his forehead, and his hands began to tremble. "Baga, get out of the way, I don't believe that the first-class division is here."
I am invincible. This time I will personally lead the team. If we cannot capture the Zhonghua Gate, I will not withdraw my troops."
After saying that, Nishiyama Fukutaro drew out his command sword and rushed forward. "Warriors of the Empire, show your courage and kill me."
On the anti-Japanese battlefield in 1937, it was almost never the case that a lieutenant general took the lead in charging. When Nishiyama Fukutaro took the lead, more than 4,000 Japanese troops in the 345th Regiment behind him, including the commander, immediately became anxious.
With red eyes, they followed the division leader and charged forward. Otherwise, the power of example is powerful.
The scene of more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers launching a group charge is still amazing, but due to the extensive use of machine guns and automatic weapons in modern warfare, the role of individual soldiers' bravery has been reduced to a secondary position.
Faced with intensive machine gun fire and mortar shells that continued to explode in the crowd, Japanese soldiers fell into a pool of blood one after another.
"Kill to give"
Nishiyama Fukutaro in the crowd was still urging the soldiers to move forward bravely. Suddenly, he felt a huge black shadow appear in front of his eyes in the sky, and then a series of dull machine gun sounds rang out above his head.
"Dong dong dong"
A series of large-caliber bullets passed in front of Nishiyama Fukutaro, directly passing over his body. Nishiyama Fukutaro, who had several big holes in his chest, felt that his eyesight went dark and he fell down without a word.
Next to him is the command knife that was broken into several sections by large-caliber bullets and scattered on the ground.
