Chapter 244 The rapid turn of the defense of Nanjing 4

How should the Nanjing Campaign, which has lost its air sipulation, continue? Zhang Xuewu was also in his heart. Although he had long expected this result, he did not expect that the attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier would become the biggest failure during the Nanjing campaign under his command.

Zhang Xuewu knew that there were serious shortcomings in his estimation of the changes in history and the role of butterflies. In fact, since I lost soldiers in Chengde City in 1933, everything has quietly undergone many subtle changes, such as the fiasco of Chengde City [***] The Ministry has made changes in the allocation of resources of the army and navy. Due to the army's fiasco in Chengde City, the Japanese side realized that its extremely proud joint fleet did not have any opponents in Asia?

The Pacific Fleet of the United States is not the opponent of the combined fleet of the Empire at all. The British Far East Fleet and the French Fleet in Indochina are even more vulnerable. Although the Soviets have strong land strength, their navy is not the opponent in front of the powerful Combined Fleet. Dominating the Pacific. The joint fleet of the Imperial Navy is not a problem at all. In this case, Emperor Hirohito negotiated several times with the three chiefs of the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of Navy and the General Staff Headquarters at the imperial meeting, and decided to redistribute and adjust the strategic resources of the empire, and formulated a three-year development plan for the empire.

This mysterious three-year development plan of the empire is actually a so-called development plan that transcends the surname regardless of reality and people's livelihood, such as the Great Leap Forward of China in later generations. The implementation of this plan is actually a disguised destruction of the Japanese national economy and illegal plunder of national assets.

But even your own life belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, what is property? The fanaticism of a nation is boiling and burning! However, this nation has obviously lost its mind. For a nation that has lost its mind, the only thing waiting for is the destruction after burning and boiling.

I said that I stopped the construction of the battleships Yamato and Musashi in the plan of Yamato, built three more heavy aircraft carriers that started construction in history until the beginning of 1944, and absorbed the tactics of the concentrated use of tanks in the [***] team in the Battle of Rehe, and used the chariots as a whole at the level of the wing and brigade, and And it has increased and extended the training period of reservists, and also greatly increased the number of heavy artillery brigades, equipping the Army Air Force and Naval Air Force with more advanced attack aircraft, bombers, etc.

Although Rehe's death has enabled China to achieve a better situation than history, and the cooperation with the Germans and the training of Germans are much faster than history, it is said that my development progress is much faster than that of China, depending on the gap in the comprehensive national strength between the two. On the contrary, the gap between the two countries is higher than that in history. Is it still big?

This is something that Zhang Xuewu had never expected before. It is said that I can adjust my strategic development tendency? However, since I was able to rise in just a few decades after the Meiji Restoration, and built a huge fleet across the entire Pacific Ocean, I added big letters in front of the name of the country and became an empire recognized by the European powers!

It is said that I am not a pig's head, but my mind is stiffened by the invasion and expansion culture of its inherent inferior surname. The single surname of the nation also determines that I can maintain an unprecedented national will and national form of the whole nation when necessary, which is difficult for China to do as a multi-ethnic country. One point, and China is vast, with 30 miles of different winds, hundreds of miles of rain, people's indignation and folk customs are all different, and the Chinese people's local complex has always been far greater than their patriotic feelings. A hundred years of years of weakness and warlords have long made insensitive Chinese forget the concept of home and country.

The Chinese people are a plate of loose sand, colliding with an iron plate of unprecedented nationalism. It is naturally the Chinese who suffered losses in the early stage, but China is a country with extensive and profound civilization and cultural inheritance. Although such a country in history has been invaded, it It has never been conquered, and the Chinese nation has a very special and horrible assimilation for the invaders. Countless alien invaders in history have disappeared into the long river of history.

Moreover, I said that I ignored the true national strength of Japan and the depth of China's grand strategy, so the Japanese army was also in the plan to fall into the Chinese battlefield. Zhang Xuewu was also annoyed by his mistakes. To put it bluntly, he underestimated the enemy's achievements, and China lacked accurate information about Japan, such as the Japanese army. What is the specific number of new divisions to be formed? How many heavy guns does it produce? The number of chariots? The number of fighters and so on, these important strategic basic intelligence can be said to be a smear for Zhang Xuewu, and the unilateral transparency of information on the battlefield is in an absolutely favorable position for Japan.

The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army joined the defense line of the attack on the Qinhuai River, and its 101st Division also joined the battle sequence of attacking Qixia Mountain. The three mixed brigades belonging to it also joined the battle sequence of attacking General Mountain and Zijin Mountain Fortress. The Japanese army set off a storm-like storm in the overall defense of Nanjing City. The rain-like attack was caused by Emperor Hirohito's anger at the imperial meeting.

The main reason for Emperor Hirohito's anger came from the disdain of the front-line generals for the command of Prince Hatohiko. Emperor Hirohito, who was far away from the front, stood in front of the elites of the Japanese army in the staff headquarters and listened to their so-called strategic decision-making analysis based on the comprehensive strength between the enemy and our armies and the two countries, so Hirohito The emperor believes that this is the greatest significance of someone deliberately embarrassing the royal family. The greatest significance of Hatohiko's appointment as the commander of the Central Branch to capture Nanjing is to reflect the great contribution made by the members of the royal family in this holy war, and the majesty of the imperial power of the imperial family.

Nanjing has been under attack for a long time. Army aviation, naval aviation, and all divisions of the army have suffered heavy losses. In the view of Emperor Hirohito, it is not that the Chinese army is too powerful, but the result of the immortal war of all the generals and soldiers of the imperial army, so Emperor Hirohito issued a royal order for the first time.

In the Japanese army, the imperial order training is equivalent to the uncrowned king holding Shangfang's sword. The significance is to urge the officials at all levels who are unfavorable in the battle. If they fail to achieve the goal within the limited time limit, the trainees should wash away their dereliction of duty and sins by caesarean section.

Many generals of the Japanese army can despise the Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of the Imperial Palace, but they dare not neglect and blaspheme Emperor Hirohito at all. Therefore, for a while, the Japanese military divisions that attacked Nanjing completely fell into madness, and there were waves of fierce waves on the defense line of General Mountain, Qixia Mountain, Zijin Mountain and Qinhuai River. Attack, especially in the battle of attacking the General Mountain Fortress, the 16th Division and the 11th Division of the Japanese Army organized more than a dozen waves of brigade-level troops, climbed the southern cliff of the General Mountain Fortress from the flank, and attacked the south and north sides of the General Mountain Fortress in the front position of the 16th Division and the 11th Division respectively.

In order to prevent the Chinese defenders of the Niushou Mountain tunnel from supporting with firepower, the Japanese army directly used a large number of smoke bombs to cover all the sight of the tunnel in the direction of Niushou Mountain, and organized the Type 38 150mm cannon against the middle of the cliff [***] The tunnel is fired directly to destroy the entrance of the tunnel.

The Chinese garrison artillery group on the top of Niushou Mountain ignored the heavy artillery suppression and air attack of the Japanese army, and counterattacked the Japanese army's cannon position with the fiercest firepower, because the General Mountain Fortress and the Niushou Mountain Pit Belt are interdependent and coexisting relationship. If the effective cover of the Niushou Mountain Fortress is lost, the General Mountain Fortress will definitely fall into both sides. The situation of being attacked by the enemy.

The power of the Type 38 150mm cannon equipped by the Japanese army is huge. In history, its two artillery and three cannons have collapsed the Nanjing wall that can exercise cars. Therefore, once the tunnel is hit by the Japanese Army's Type 38 150mm cannon, it will completely lose the possibility of recovery.

Therefore, Ye Yunfei made a very tragic decision, that is, to expose the threat of the gun group of the General Mountain Fortress, and to destroy all the Japanese cannons that constantly bombarded the tunnel of the Niushou Mountain Fortress.

Sun Guiming, who was originally organizing the troops in the hit pit to pay attention to concealment and arranged several main tunnels to prepare the Fords 20mm four-pipe anti-aircraft gun to counterattack the Japanese army's cannon position, was also shocked by the rumbling gunfire in the direction of the General Mountain Fortress?

Although the Japanese army's cannon position fell into a sea of fire, Sun Guiming was very clear that Ye Yunfei was engaged in a big fight. When the 105mm howitzer group covered the Japanese army's cannon group with artillery fire, the Japanese army's 381,150mm heavy howitzer gun group will also lock the position of the Jiangjunshan fortress artillery group. .

Although Ye Yunfei was determined to fight hard, after shelling the Japanese army's cannons, Ye Yunfei immediately ordered all the artillery to abandon the artillery and withdraw into the artillery bunker. In Ye Yunfei's opinion, the artillery was lost and the Rehe could be remade, but the loss of these experienced artillery officers and soldiers would be a major loss that would be irreparable.

Soon, the artillery shells roaring from the heavy howitzers of the Japanese army arrived as promised, and the smoke column rising dozens of meters high showed the caliber of the military artillery. The Chinese artillery looked at the beloved artillery that accompanied them to kill the soldiers and turned into a pile of scrap iron in the violent explosion, and almost all the officers and soldiers flowed out unbearable. Tears, they are artillerymen. If there were no cannons, what kind of artillery would they be?

The Japanese army's shelling almost turned upside down the vegetation on the general's mountain. The subsequent Japanese fighters carried a batch of incendiary bombs. In the hot explosion, the Japanese army's fighters kept diving and strafing.

Sun Guiming looked at the violent explosion in the direction of General Mountain, and immediately sighed helplessly: "It's over! It's all over! I'm afraid the 105mm gun group in General Mountain has been completely scrapped!"

Sun Guiming was talking, and a fierce martyrdom raised a black column of smoke and rose straight to the sky! Then the wanton warheads induced bursts of explosions in a row, which was obviously the martyrdom of 105mm ammunition.
