The arrival of fighter planes
Outside Zhenjiang City, in the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army, I saw an elite field brigade of nearly 10,000 soldiers that I was responsible for attacking. Just like that, they were lost to the fierce artillery fire and counterattack of the East China Field Army. Standing in the headquarters, holding up a telescope
The commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Miyamoto, had a face that immediately turned red with anger. The hands holding the command knife tightly were also using too much force because of anger, and clearly visible veins were exposed...
"Reporting to the commander, after counting, the three field infantry regiments that just attacked, except for less than one brigade of troops, successfully exited the battlefield and returned to their positions. The remaining troops, totaling more than 8,000 people, were all wiped out by the Chinese. Chapter 1
The commander of the 38th Brigade reported that the Chinese artillery fire was too fierce. Should the troops continue to attack..." The combat staff rushed into the headquarters with a pale face and reported with a hint of panic.
He watched helplessly as nearly 10,000 soldiers were torn into pieces by the dense artillery shells. While Lieutenant General Miyamoto was angry, a look of fear and worry slowly appeared on his face. Then, to
Looking at the combat staff in front of him, he ordered very decisively.
"Baga, the cunning Chinese people. I really didn't expect that they actually hid so many artillery pieces. Baga Road. Order the 38th Brigade to temporarily stop the attack. At the same time, report the casualties of our army to the Commander of the Central China Front
Ministry, please make a decision, Your Majesty the Commander. Now, without air superiority, under the fierce attack of China's superior artillery, there is no difference between our attack and death. If we continue to fight like this, we will not break through the Chinese defense line.
, all the troops in our hands will fall in front of the Chinese positions..."
"Hai... I understand my position, I will go and deliver the order right away..."
The tense atmosphere at the headquarters of the Japanese Central China Front in Nanjing.
After receiving the latest battle report from the Zhenjiang front line, General Matsui Iwane was very worried and increasingly frightened by the huge casualties of his troops. However, he had a clear understanding of the current situation and knew very clearly that Central China
If the front army wants to preserve its existing foothold south of the Yangtze River and continue to survive in central China, there is only one way to go. That is to continue the offensive regardless of casualties. Before the reinforcements of the East China Field Army arrive,
Take Back Zhenjiang City.e^See
However, as a battle-hardened senior general who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, he did not immediately call Zhenjiang back. He knew that such a call would have a huge impact on the morale of various frontline combat units. And for the sake of the frontline
Seventeen, there is only one way to go, and that is to send troops for reinforcements. Let the soldiers on the front line know that behind them, there is a steady stream of soldiers coming to reinforce them.
However, as the commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of troops, with the mobilization of a large number of troops, he once again faced a situation where he had no troops to mobilize. Finally, after being reminded by the chief of staff, he thought of the large number of troops stationed in the city.
Puppet army.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Iwane Matsui immediately called for Wang Jingwei, chairman of the puppet National Government, who was also based in Nanjing. He hoped that when Wang Jingwei and others did not know the specific battle situation on the front line,
On the basis of the original reinforcements, strengthen the strength of the reinforcements. Mobilize a large number of puppet troops stationed in Nanjing and send them to the Zhenjiang front line to serve as cannon fodder for the imperial army, reducing the casualties of the imperial army...
As the saying goes, "If you eat a man with a short mouth, you will be soft-handed." Facing hundreds of thousands of puppet troops under his command, even basic ammunition supplies had to rely on the Japanese Army's Central China Front. Wang Jing had to bow his head under the eaves.
Wei, had to agree to the request of General Matsui Iwane and increase the number of two puppet military divisions originally planned to reinforce Zhenjiang City to five, totaling 60,000 troops.
So, under the constant urging and coercion of General Matsui Iwane, one field division, five puppet divisions with an army of 60,000 troops, and two independent artillery regiments, totaling 100,000 troops. Under the command of the division commander Lieutenant General Sakata
Next, rush to support the Zhenjiang front line. It is hoped that with the support of tens of thousands of puppet army cannon fodder and the only two remaining heavy artillery regiments of the Central China Front Army, the recapture of Zhenjiang City, which seems increasingly distant, will be possible.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, nearly a hundred meters of large-caliber artillery, and hundreds of military trucks filled with various ammunition, drove out of Nanjing City in a majestic manner and rushed towards Zhenjiang. Such a large military operation, even if the Japanese army
No matter how good the confidentiality measures are, it cannot escape the eyes of intelligence personnel.
As a result, letters of information were quickly transmitted to Liu Hua's temporary headquarters like snowflakes...
Looking at the information in his hands and in front of him, Chen Geng, Bruce Lee, Han Liancheng and others who had already been eager to try out had already learned the news in advance. Liu Hua's face also quickly flashed a look of excitement before the war.
.Then, he raised the telegram in his hand and spoke.
"Comrades, this is the latest information from the intelligence office. One Japanese field division, two independent heavy artillery regiments, and five main divisions of the puppet army, totaling 100,000 troops, left Nanjing half an hour ago.
The direction of their reinforcements is exactly at Zhenjiang City, where the fighting is very lively at this moment. And the area around Fengwang Mountain and Mahu Mountain where our army is currently hiding happens to be the only way for this Japanese army to pass."
"We are all hiding here. The fighter plane we have been waiting for for several days has finally arrived..."
"Commander-in-Chief, just give the order. Watching the Chief of General Staff kill the enemy in Zhenjiang, he achieved a huge result of annihilating 20,000 enemies in less than two days. I have been holding my breath for a long time, thinking
I want to bring bad luck to the little devil..." Commander Chen Geng, wearing a pair of thick glasses, spoke first.
"Commander-in-Chief, the three guard divisions under our guard column have already prepared for battle and are waiting for the arrival of the little Japs. Please ask the Commander-in-Chief to issue orders." Commander Bruce Lee followed closely and said.
"Commander-in-Chief, please give us an order..." As soon as Bruce Lee finished speaking, in the small temporary headquarters, the commanders at all levels who came to attend the meeting almost shouted in unison.
Seeing everyone's high morale, Liu Hua nodded with great satisfaction. Then, with a smile on his face, he said: "I can understand the mood of comrades. This time, Matsui Iwane, an old Japanese devil, provided us with such a
Of course I, Liu Hua, will not let go of a good fighter opportunity."
Just when everyone was raising their heads and preparing to receive specific tasks, Liu Hua changed the topic and continued to speak.
"However, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops has reached an astonishing 100,000 people. And we, at full cost, only have 70,000 people. As for the firepower of the troops, because the Japanese army is specially equipped with two heavy artillery regiments, and ours
In comparison, it can be said that they are comparable. Therefore, it is not an easy task to rely on a 70,000-strong army with no advantage in firepower to completely annihilate 100,000 Japanese and puppet troops..."
"So, I hope that in this battle, everyone can pay attention to their opponents and not underestimate the enemy... My principle is to first destroy all the Japanese troops in the shortest possible time, and then find ways to destroy those puppet troops.
force."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
Immediately, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua faced the combat sandbox in front of him and began to assign specific combat missions to each participating unit.
Of course, after the mission deployment was completed, a combat order signed by Liu Hua himself was also delivered via telex to the temporary headquarters of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhen, which had long been hidden outside Nanjing.
In the Purple Mountain area east of Nanjing City, under the cover of dense forests, dark green tents are neatly located in the woods. Among these tents, the one is the largest, and there are countless tents erected around it.
The radio antenna tent, no surprise, has become the temporary headquarters of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhen at this moment.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhen, Commander of the 7th Corps Deng Hua, and Commander of the 8th Corps Li Tianyou quickly circulated the telegram they had just received. Their faces were immediately filled with excitement.
shrouded.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, after several days of arduous waiting, it is finally time to reap the rewards. Calculated based on the size of the Japanese and puppet troops. At this moment, in the entire city of Nanjing, there is only one division of Japanese troops left.
The total strength of the army and the three puppet army divisions is less than 80,000. But we, two combat corps, plus several artillery regiments, have already achieved a decisive victory in both firepower and troop strength.
Xing's advantage. Nanjing City, Nanjing City can finally be recovered..." Commander Deng Hua said with excitement.
"Old Deng is right. The fighter jet we have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived..." Wang Zhen replied with great agreement.
"The commander-in-chief's telegram has made it clear. After the encirclement and annihilation battle against the Japanese reinforcements begins, our unit must attack immediately and complete the siege of Nanjing City in the shortest possible time. Then launch an attack on Nanjing City.
.Strive to annihilate the Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters and the political leaders at all levels of the Wang puppet regime in Nanjing..."
"According to the commander-in-chief's order, the encirclement and annihilation battle against the Japanese reinforcements will officially begin in one and a half hours at the latest. Therefore, the time left by our superiors for us to prepare is only one and a half hours. Lao Deng, Lao Li, time is running out.
, we won’t say much if we have more to say. We will act according to the plan we made a day ago..." Wang Zhen ordered with a serious look on his face.
"Yes, deputy commander in chief..." After saying that, the two commanders quickly walked out of the headquarters without even turning their heads...
In less than ten minutes, among the scattered tents in the dense forest, groups of troops filled with murderous intent quickly rushed out of their tents and assembled at the designated location...
