The "Four Elements Demon King" appeared in Niushou Mountain, and his troops' night attack caused the Sixth Division to suffer heavy losses.
In the quiet office, Yanagawa Heisuke sat silently behind a sandalwood desk. The faint scent of sandalwood faintly emanated from the brightly painted desk.
The room was paved with floor tiles, and a roaring fire was burning quietly in the fireplace. Amid the lazy flames, wood occasionally made a loud popping sound.
This is a bungalow that serves as a headquarters and belongs to a Chinese businessman. He built this three-story bungalow in the countryside according to the specifications in the city.
What Yanagawa Heisuke didn't quite understand was that when the army arrived at his door, the guy waved a small flag to greet him at the door. He also claimed that his family's business was selling Japanese goods in the concession, so he had long been looking forward to the Japanese army.
arrival.
It's a pity that his family is too rich, especially his wives and daughters are very beautiful.
Then……
As a senior military officer, Yanagawa Heisuke certainly did not think that soldiers should do such a thing. But he also killed a Chinese businessman, so it was nothing.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The woman's crazy shrill laughter came from a distance, and he could even imagine how the soldiers who had just come off the battlefield would torture those weak women to release their psychological pressure on the tragic battlefield.
Even the daughter of that family is a graduate of Waseda University in Japan.
It's a pity for the girl, but who makes her a Chinese? Compared with her experience, it is not a big deal for those soldiers who have experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield to relax properly.
Deep down, of course, he looked down on such businessmen. As a radical in the Japanese military, he believed that the Japanese Empire should replace the unenterprising Chinese, who were not worthy of occupying this land.
It's an opponent like the "Four Elements Demon King"...
But that guy is a German, not a Chinese. Even the Chinese look down on him... No, that guy doesn't think so in his heart, otherwise he shouldn't leave his huge wealth to take risks here at this time.
So when he came to China, did he seek wealth, fame, official position or...
Looking for fame, it seems that being a general in Germany will make you more famous and more admirable.
Looking for an official position... Being a general in Germany would be a higher level than the official position under the Generalissimo.
Of course, a guy like that doesn't care about money or women. That German is really a guy you can't see through.
Reaching out to take the fragrant tea on the table, Yanagawa Heisuke, who was a little tired, leaned on the back of his chair. He knew that if he allowed his six, eighteen, and one hundred and forty divisions to attack privately this time, he would be burdened with his "
Guilty".
But this is nothing, as long as they occupy China. In other words, as long as they gain a foothold in the prosperous coastal areas of China, it will be more suitable for the needs of the Japanese Empire than Southeast Asia and the Pacific, which the navy is looking forward to.
As a soldier of the Japanese Empire, is there any more glorious and noble choice than this? History will give the Tenth Army a correct evaluation.
Demon King of the Four Elements, you and I are both patriots. What we are fighting now is a noble and samurai virtue battle between patriots... Well, you are a German, so it is also a battle with knightly glory.
After thinking about it slowly, he left the back of his chair, took out a piece of paper and began to write an order to be sent to the 18th Division, asking them to go forward and prepare for a full-scale attack on Niushou Mountain.
In addition, based on the suggestions reported by Hisao Tani, the 114th Division was mobilized to attack the 58th Division positions at Jiangjun Mountain and Guanyin Mountain from the east. The Sixth Division attacked Jinling City from the direction of Dashengguan and cut off Niushou Mountain from the
Jinling City was connected by land, and then the 18th Division occupied and surrounded its remaining troops.
After writing the orders assigned to the three divisions, I always felt that there were some shortcomings. After thinking about it carefully, I wrote a few words on the order for the 18th Division - Be sure, be sure, be cautious, be cautious!!!
His order was obviously appropriate, and the expected results appeared in the battle the following day.
In the private residence of Tang Shengzhi, the "Tang Monk Commander" in Nanjing, what Tang Shengzhi was thinking of was also Zhang Sixing.
If possible, he really wanted to talk to this young man. Unfortunately, even after sending several telegrams, the other party only responded with "the war on the front line is tense, and the humble general will do his duty and defend Niushou Mountain to the death."
In a committee-chairman's government that pays the most attention to seniority and connections, such an officer will never get ahead, no matter how good he is at fighting. No one is perfect, and faults can always be found.
When I get up early in the morning, I am not in a hurry to go to the Jinling Garrison Headquarters to start work. Instead, I want to have a delicious breakfast, take a walk in the garden, and then talk about office matters.
Humph, you are all direct descendants of the Chairman. If you don't obey my orders, I will nail you to every point to see if you still obey the orders.
Now even the principal of your paratrooper school, a little major, doesn't listen to me. I asked you here to put some money on your face, okay? It's to show your face in all walks of life. It's a good-looking thing, right?
I'll use your collar to pull you up.
When he thought of Zhang Sixing's lack of face, his thin face twitched with anger.
Alas, if you are capable, you have some ability, but you are too arrogant. You need to know that there are people outside the world, and there are geniuses outside the world.
He had to admit his ability to fight. The night before yesterday, he used 500 soldiers to defeat several brigades of the Japanese army. The Japanese suffered thousands of casualties. It is said that he robbed the Japanese tank squadron and cavalry, so he acted quickly and strangely, attacking the side of the Japanese front line.
Later succeeded.
Last night, the Guard Battalion of the 88th Division was sent out to attack the Japanese 114th Division's garrison, killing more than 800 members.
If all the troops fought in the same way as these two troops, the defense of Jinling would not be a very worry-free matter.
At this moment, I felt a little regretful. When discussing the tactical arrangements related to the defense of Jinling before the war, someone suggested that we should fix high points and use mountains to station troops. Then we should use the uneven battle lines to attack the enemy's flanks with powerful troops.
At that time, he considered that most of the Jinling defenders were troops who had retreated from the Songhu battlefield. The morale of the troops was low and they would have no fighting spirit. The new recruits were all urgently recruited. Many soldiers had never even touched a gun, and they might not be able to carry out complex tactical actions.
.
But who would have thought that such a powerful force as the Paratrooper School and the 58th Division exists.
But this matter has not changed now. After all, the uniform deployment of all armies has been completed. Any further changes will only cause chaos among the armies and make it easier for the Japanese army to take advantage of it.
"well……"
He sighed in the cold morning and stretched out his fingers to scratch the top of his head. The defenses were really weak everywhere. I was afraid that the defense lines on the flat ground would not be able to hold on.
Just when he was thinking about it, an adjutant suddenly ran over with a battle report.
"Last night, the Japanese 18th Division launched a diversionary attack on Niushou Mountain. The 58th Division was attacked by the enemy's 114th Division. The enemy's 60th Division penetrated the 60th Army's defense line, causing the Banqiao and Dashengguan defense lines to fall.
.The junction of the southern and eastern fronts is the enemy's 9th Division's breakthrough..."
It was December 8, 1937, only two days before the Generalissimo left Nanjing for the headquarters in Jiangcheng.
