Chapter 257 The Last Moment of the Battle of Nanjing 4

It is said that my staff is different from the staff of the Chinese [***] team. The so-called staff does not fart without the chief. China's staff is basically the goods of the stall. The military chief officer's words, and the military's staff system imitates Prussia. It is said that the degree to which the Prussian military pays attention to the staff system is endlessly. The expansion led to the excessive arrogance of the Japanese military staff system in China. They never obeyed the command of the military headquarters, but controlled the military headquarters. They were the birthplace of all conspiracies and tricks, and they were a group of extremely evil warmongers.

It is said that the senior staff in the division of the strategic combat unit of the army can even cross the division commander to directly issue combat orders to the subordinate brigades and regiments. The army and navy staff of the empire are a group of extremely unmanned people. I'm afraid that only people from the same system can get their eyes. The staff of the army know that How to start a war, but don't know how to end the war?

Is there no strategic goal in the national strategic decision-making they designate? What's more, you don't know how to collect it when it's good? Japanese military staff know how to organize attacks, but they don't know how to defend? What they call guiding the attack is to accumulate a large amount of soldiers' lives, and when defending, they are blindly "jade to serve the country"! The Japanese staff regarded the soldiers of their troops as a group of data, but they just modified some data. What's the matter how many people die?

And the most difficult thing to understand is that the staff of the Japanese army ignore the extremely important intelligence collection and logistics supply. In most of the war, there are a large number of Japanese soldiers who died of cold and starvation, and there are even more cases of starvation than those who died in war.

The staff of the Japanese army have never paid attention to the actual needs. They believe that the spirit of Bushido is invincible. They do not pay attention to improving the existing weapons and equipment. They always compare their own weapons with those countries that are not as good as them, so they are always more confident.

Then there appeared that the combat troops of the Japanese army took the Type 38 rifles made in the 19th century to fight the war in the 1930s and 1940s. Because of the poor and weak national strength, even if they could make automatic continuous submachine guns, they could not afford this luxurious rate of fire and could not supply the necessary bullets. And forced to strangle the submachine gun, the Japanese army is equipped with a sufficient number of cannons but often short of shells, and aircraft carriers but lack the necessary oil to fight?

The most surprising thing is that the army and navy's staff system has never had any plan for coordinated operations? It doesn't matter where they go, as if they are completely a group of outsiders in this war?

The Japanese army's offensive in Rehe has actually seriously exposed the serious problems of the Japanese army's logistics support, that is, the 150mm field heavy howitzers of the two heavy artillery brigades assigned by the Japanese army to attack Rehe often do not have enough shells, and even the Type 38 75 mm field guns have ammunition. The reason for the deficiency is very simple. Although I can equip nine field heavy artillery brigades, their industrial basic ammunition production cannot afford the huge consumption of troops on the front line.

The Central Branch Dispatch Army consumed too much ammunition under Nanjing City, so the Central China Dispatch Army on the Rehe side had to be forced to be careful. If there are people who shoot quickly, there will be people who are aggrieved. Do you have to count the shells? How can I fight this battle?

However, I am used to being aggrieved. General Tada Jun, the commander of the Central Branch Dispatch Army, is even more aggrieved. Although Hatohiko As a prince, has been transferred to the staff headquarters, he has not left Nanjing? Because of the sudden decree of His Majesty Hirohito, Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace participated in the entrance ceremony of the imperial army in Nanjing City as a representative of the royal family.

The arrangement of Hatohiko Asaka Palace to stay in Nanjing to participate in the entrance ceremony made Tada Jun very uncomfortable, but since there was Emperor Hirohito's oracle, there was nothing he could do.

Taotian Jun stood in the headquarters and looked at the huge map coldly. The troops had broken into the walls of Nanjing. The tragic street battles were advancing along the line of Xishuimen, Guanghuamen and Zhonghuamen to the line of Fuzi Temple and Qinhuai. A large number of incoming troops were fighting fiercely with the Chinese defenders. It seemed that victory was just around the corner. However, Tada Jun still felt unseuated.

Just as he deployed the selection headquarters, he put the staff and the telecommunications class 300 meters away, leaving only a few special lines in his headquarters. Tada Jun's adjustment made almost everyone very puzzled, but Tada Jun never explained.

Because Tada Jun had carefully studied the establishment of the Rehe Legion after the Battle of Chengde, he was very surprised that a small army of dozens of people could shake the battle? According to his analysis, this must be a well-trained and well-equipped small force. These soldiers belong to the specially trained death squad. Since they can go deep into Chaoyang and Jinzhou to destroy logistics supply bases and field airports, it is also possible to infiltrate along the chaotic front at this moment and attack their own headquarters. It is said that the small troops who attacked Jinzhou Field Airport once wore emperor's uniform.

However, all this is Tada Jun's guess. As the commander of the Central Branch Dispatch Army, Tada Jun will naturally not explain, because the explanation is equivalent to rising the morale of [***] and destroying the prestige of the imperial army.

In fact, Tada Jun's worries about the battle situation are better than the surprise attack of the elite small troops in the middle of [***], because the third division, the ninth division, the thirteenth division, the sixteenth division and the first and fourteenth division all invaded Nanjing. The fierce street battle caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army that invaded Nanjing, but What Tianjun expected was that the Chinese defenders showed no sign of retreat? And there are also frequent short counterattacks.

On June 20, 1937, the extremely tragic Nanjing lane battle had reached **. In addition to deploying the 101st Division mixed with reading power into the 38th and reading power mixed into the 39th Brigade to gather and stand by at the second peak of Zijin Mountain, Tada Jun put all the mobile forces he could pull out into Nanjing. In the street battle, but the urban area of Nanjing is like a bottomless hole?

Whenever the Chinese defenders were exhausted, after Ta Tianjun threw himself into his last gathered reserve team, the Chinese defenders once again regained their spirits and carried out a dead counterattack. Tada Jun learned from the front-line feedback that the armbands of the casualties were 87D, 88D, 74A, 5 1D, 58D, 57D, Hu Ben and so on.

Through this information, Tada Jun judged that the input of the Chinese garrison's troops has reached the limit. The Nanjing garrison under the command of Zhang Xuewu may no reserve team? Such a messy and mixed army can defeat the imperial army again and again, which makes Tada Jun feel extremely embarrassed, especially the deathless expression of Prince Hatohiko Asaka Palace, who always stays in the staff headquarters, and seems to have a little gloating.

Tada Jun wanted to greet the face of Asakamiya Hatohiko with his soles, but in his mind, an army general beat a royal lieutenant general? Even if Tada Jun is a pig's head, Tada Jun can't do such an impulsive thing, so Tada Jun simply came to him and didn't see his mind.

Nanjing, the land of golden powder, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has always been famous for its powder gas, but today this ancient city is buried and submerged by the sea of blood!

The Confucius Temple has been blown into ruins. Between the broken walls, the living Chinese officers and soldiers formed a battle collective by themselves to counterattack the swarm of the Japanese army with all the weapons that can be counterattacked. From time to time, the seriously injured of the Chinese defenders rolled to the Japanese army with a blasting barrel. In the rising column of explosion smoke, the disabled The broken arms flew down everywhere.

But this still can't deter the Japanese army, which has completely fallen into madness. The officers and soldiers have also dispersed into a team of more than a dozen people, desperately infiltrating the rear of the Chinese garrison. According to their understanding and experience, once the enemy appears in the rear of the middle [***], the middle [***] will change from retreat to a thousand. Li.

But this time, my experience did not have any effect. The infiltration team was quickly wiped out by the same infiltration [***]. Almost all the houses in the neighborhood near the Confucius Temple were burned by the fire and then collapsed. No matter how the Japanese army bombed and shelled, the Confucius Temple array There are always endless deaths on the ground [***] fighting back. The time of each attack was extended from ten minutes to an hour, and then it was infinitely extended. There was no unified coordinated battle at all, and the Japanese army itself fell into chaos.

There are many corpses on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and there are rotting and deformed bodies floating in the river. It was left when the Japanese army forcibly crossed the Qinhuai River. Among them, there were also many remains of the Chinese defenders. Some sections of the river were actually blocked by a large number of floating corpses. The scene was accompanied by a blazing fire, which made people shudder.

In the fierce sound of guns, the soldiers and the middle [***] soldiers were chasing and fighting each other between the broken walls. The Rehe P18 was changed to the P30 submachine gun, plus a small number of semi-automatic rifles, combined with the Type 24 German grenades, often killing the soldiers in the wild.

In terms of firepower, the Taisho 11-year light machine gun equipped by the Japanese army is not as good as the modified ZB-26 light machine gun, and the rifle firepower is not as good as the Chinese Type 1 semi-automatic rifle and a large number of submachine guns and Mauser pistols, while the Type jiu, Type 99 and Type 95 grenades equipped by the Japanese army are not as good as the German Type 24. The grenade is thrown far away, and the explosive power is also very different.

Even so, with the advantage of military strength and artillery, the Japanese army is constantly attacking along the ruins under the cover of the Type 95 light chariot, with gunfire, gunfire and fighting everywhere! Nanjing is no longer the capital of gold powder, but a complete real purgatory. There is no vitality here, and even the sun is cold. All here is death and decay, and the flowers of hell watered with blood bloom here.
