Chapter 210 The first victory of the defense of Nanjing
Ishihara Guaner carefully analyzed the process of China's Nanjing garrison's active attack. From the early morning to the sudden raid of the Chinese Air Force fleet with the advantage of night flight at Hongkou Airport, to the attack on the headquarters of the 6th Division in the early morning, an urgent clear code telegram was sent out in less than 15 minutes, saying that [***] used a few Hundreds of chariots were divided and surrounded by extremely dense formations.
The so-called hundreds of chariots Ishihara Guaner believes that it must be an illusion. Let's not talk about [***] whether there are so many chariots, even if there is its fuel supply, how to solve it? China, like Japan, is a country that lacks oil, but the chariots rely on all refined oil. There are certain reserves because of the relationship between the joint fleets of the Empire, and how many reserves can China have? How many of these scattered reserves will be? It is definitely impossible to support a huge armored force.
But this three-dimensional joint combat method reminds Ishihara Guaner of a person? However, according to the information of the secret service of the General Staff Headquarters of the Empire and the secret service of the Kwantung Army, Zhang Xuewu is still waiting in the hot river. This elite division sent to Nanjing is probably Zhang Xuewu's broken wrist to show his loyalty to Nanjing political axe, right? The courage of a strong man to break his wrist is not for everyone. After all, it is nearly a hundred chariots and tens of thousands of well-trained elite troops!
In fact, what worries Shiyuan Guaner most is the secretary-general of the joint office of the three provinces of Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan. In fact, the real head of the government affairs of Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan and Wang Haimin, the head of Baotou Industrial Military Base, secretly visited the Soviet Union.
Since the beginning of the war, countless people in the world have been nervous. Britain, the United States, France and other countries are among them. The empire was originally a world naval power, but now it is also known as an army power. It can mobilize millions of troops at a time. This degree of poor military force is no less than the German intention that is seeking to rise in Europe. Britain, France and the United States are at most nervous about their interests in the Far East, while the Soviet Union feels the actual real threat.
The imaginary enemies of the Soviet Red Army have always been Germans. Even if the Germans only retain 100,000 Wehrmachts, even if there are only 100,000, the Russians are very nervous, because in history, the Russians and Germans have changed from relatives to enemies with a sea of blood, and the enmity between the two countries is enough to write more than a dozen novels. Yes.
Although the units of the Kwantung Army were transferred to invade China, reinforcements from the mainland continued to carry out training in the northeast. The factories in Fengtian and Xinjing worked overtime at night to make weapons and equipment. The Far East Fleet of the Soviet Red Army was simply vulnerable in front of the joint fleet, even if the whole Soviets were gathered. I'm afraid it's difficult for the entire fleet of the Red regime to compete with the combined fleet of the Japanese Imperial Navy.
Therefore, Ishihara Guaner believes that the use of whale swallowing tactics in this large-scale invasion of China is completely a strategic mistake, because the Japanese army was forced to expose almost all its cards, and also gave the red beast an extremely dangerous signal. It is very unreasonable to touch Soviet Russia too early, but As the deputy minister of the staff headquarters, Ishihara Guaner could do nothing about this, and he didn't even have the power to express his opinions, because this was the final plan of the strategic concept reached by the factions and His Majesty the Emperor at the imperial meeting.
Ishihara Guaner naturally knows that Matsui Ishigen and King Asakamiya Hatohiko are not concerned about the life or death of the 11th Infantry Brigade, but for a flag, they have to send a large army to take risks in the case of unknown enemy? This seems a little unwise, but Ishihara Guaner is just thinking about it. How can the wing flag personally awarded by His Majesty the Emperor be captured by the enemy? He doesn't want to be shot on the street by hot-blooded radicals.
When the 23rd Infantry Brigade of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, Ueno Guipu, the head of the brigade, was shocked in a cold sweat after receiving a telegram from the dispatched army of the Central Branch. Now it has been more than three hours since the attack of the 11th Infantry Brigade? What are those damn rice buckets of the Central Branch dispatched to the military headquarters eat? Isn't it too late to go to the rescue now?
In fact, Ueno Guipu did not know that the headquarters of the Central Branch dispatched army deliberately concealed the news, that is, the reconnaissance aircraft going to the reconnaissance were shot down by the Chinese Air Force, so the commander did not judge that the 11th Infantry Brigade no longer existed. Ueno Guipu remembered that the clear code telegram he received showed that the 11th Infantry Brigade. The regiment sent a clear telegram less than 15 minutes after the attack. At first, he always thought it was a deceptive strategy, but now it seems that it is not like that. I'm afraid that the 11th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division has really been annihilated.
Ueno Guipu is not a fool. The meaning of the order of the Central Branch Dispatch Army is clear, but can a strengthened infantry brigade send a clear telegram in less than 15 minutes of the battle? The assault power of this group of enemy troops can be imagined! Now it is not the best tactical choice to get close to Jurong. What if the enemy is attacking him at this moment?
Ueno Guipu, who was shocked by a cold sweat, immediately ordered the army to discard all the weights and supplies. The soldiers left only one day of dry food and retreated at full speed. The troops turned to Yujiashan, and then turned straight to Zhenjiang. Ueno Guipu believed that if the 11th Brigade was destroyed, then the next goal of [***] The standard must be himself going hand in hand with the 6th Division. It is likely that his back road has been cut off, and the chariot troops in the middle are rushing to anniper the 23rd Infantry Brigade.
Compared with Ueno Guipu, who did not fully implement the order of the dispatched army of the Central Branch, the commander of the 19th Infantry Brigade of the 16th Division, Caochang Chenji did it more thoroughly. As soon as he received the clear telegram of the 11th Brigade, he immediately turned into the front team and hurriedly retreated.
Although most of the officers and soldiers of the 19th Infantry Brigade of the 16th Division did not know what had happened, they suddenly retreated when they saw that they were about to arrive in Nanjing? Many grass-roots officers and soldiers have surrounded the squadron leader, captain and even the joint captain of the residence department to keep asking, because the officers and soldiers below are not the same idea as Caochang Chenji. They have the crazy idea of making contributions like Gu Shoufu.
When it came to the Caochang Chenji inquiry, the angry Caochang Chenji then revealed that the infantry 11th Brigade of the 6th Division had been besieged and anniled by a large number of chariots. Now the three armies are in absolute isolation and in danger without backup and response.
Since the commander of the brigade was forced to tell the truth, compared with the fear of death, the grass-roots officers and soldiers who had the idea of making achievements have also calmed down a lot. The speed of retreat was obviously much faster than the attack, and Caochang Chenji also did a truth that made the Central Branch Dispatch Command hate it at all, that is, Caochang Chenji sent His adjutant destroyed three radio stations that could be contacted by the headquarters of the Central Branch, which was thought to cause poor contact.
In the case of unknown enemy's situation, Caochang Chenji's most thought is not to make contributions, but how to be invincible. To keep his own brigade is at least meritorious. The major losses caused by some people's bold progress can't be deducted from their heads in any case. It can be said that grass Ye Chenji and Ueno Guipu both exerted their IQ to the extreme at the critical moment.
When Hao Wenbin commanded the 23rd Infantry Brigade of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, it was empty and only cleaned up the two squadrons, Hao Wenbin was furious. The 23rd Infantry Brigade of Ueno Guipu did not retreat from the original way? Instead, it left a beautiful and wonderful thread on the map?
Isn't it my favorite to fight hard? Why did you slip so fast this time? Some unwilling Hao Wenbin learned that the armored reconnaissance company had an encounter with a Type 95 tank squadron of the Japanese Army. After strengthening, the 12 Type 89 medium tanks and three Type 95 light tanks equipped by the strengthened Japanese Army Tank Squadron were all destroyed.
The armored reconnaissance company of the Ozawa Squadron of the Japanese Army, which adopts the tactical ambush along both sides of the highway, is a direct reconnaissance company of the mechanized brigade. Unlike the standard 11 equipped combat companies, it has only seven jackal light tanks and two wheeled hound armored reconnaissance vehicles!
After five minutes of fierce exchange of fire, actual combat proved that although the sixty-caliber 37mm tank gun equipped with the Japanese Type 95 light tank could not penetrate the front armor of the jackal light tank, it could break through some positions within 100 meters, including turret wings and other positions.
A jackal light tank lost by the armored reconnaissance company was destroyed from the flank and the ammunition was martyred. All four crew members were killed in the battle. Since the Japanese army has retreated and the main force of Jurong's Japanese army's sixth division has arrived, it has been proved that the fighter aircraft has been lost. Hao Wenbin immediately ordered the battle against the destroyed jackal. The car detonated for the second time, completely destroyed it, and reported the results to the gircon Command.
When he learned in Nanjing that the attack group had given the 11th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army to be completely annihirated, Zhang Xuewu was so happy that he shouted three times, and asked Huang Fei'er to get some wine for himself, and asked the kitchen to stir-fry some dishes as an exception, humming a little song to enjoy the spicy and pungent old white dry.
The annihilation of a brigade of the Japanese army is indeed a rare achievement, but in Huang Fei'er's view, it doesn't seem to be worthy of Zhang Xuewu's happiness? After all, the elite troops of the Rehe Army are sent, equipped with nearly 100 chariots and more than 100 armored vehicles. The quality of other [***] troops is much different from that of the firepower of the Japanese army, but the elite troops of the Rehe Army is far beyond that of the Japanese army, and they are prepared to fight with new tactics? It seems that I deserve to die without complaint.
But after Chengde's victory, Zhang Xuewu didn't seem to drink to celebrate? Huang Feier judged that it must be my sixth division that had hindered Zhang Xuewu? Or did his current commander, Gu Shoufu, offend our Commander Zhang?
