Chapter 211 The soldiers of the Nanjing Defense War are under the city

Jun Jian, chairman of the Supreme Military Commission and Chairman of the Republic of China, forwarded to Feng, He and Gu officers: Since the department held on to the capital, it has strengthened its defense at night and strived to resist the invaders outside the capital. Now the three-way army of the army has invaded. In line with the responsibility of invigorating the morale of the army, the department has sent elite troops to attack, and the air raid on the Hongkou field. At the airport, four aircraft were shot down in the air, and about 30 aircraft were destroyed on the ground. Two infantry regiments under the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army were annihilated. The corpses of the Japanese army abandoned 6,929. The captured weapons and ammunition were not counted. It is a pity that the flag of the Japanese army coalition were not captured. Now the other two roads of the army are to Jurong and Zhenjiang. Retreat, our army's victory! Long live the Chinese nation! Long live the Republic of China!

After Zhang Xuewu drafted the telegram, he issued an order for Hao Wenbin's troops to retreat immediately, and dispatched all fighters to cover the retreating troops at one time.

Although Zhang Xuewu did not achieve the tactical purpose of defeating the three-way invading enemy and fighting for time, it was much worse to hurt his index finger than to hit him with one finger. The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army was once beaten by itself under Chengde City. This time, it is not a enemy or not. Gathering heads.

After learning that his 11th Brigade had been annihilated, Gu Shoufu spewed out a mouthful of blood. For this criminal executioner who had done a lot of evil in history, this punishment seemed to be just the beginning. How could Gu Shoufu not understand it at this moment? Whether in terms of the level of elite or the advantages of tactics, should the 18th Division or the 16th Division be beaten? Although its 11th Infantry Brigade did not carry artillery and chariot brigades, it was the most popular middle road among the leading troops of the three-way army.

From a tactical point of view, attacking the middle road is the most irrational behavior, because once the war is stuck, the other two troops will rush to reinforce, so that the [***] attack troops will fall into a situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the most unexpected thing finally happened!

Where are the two wing flags of the 13th Infantry Regiment and the 47th Infantry Regiment? If the wing flag is captured by [***], I'm afraid I can't escape the end of caesarean section. The first thing that Gu Shoufu, who was too excited, woke up and asked was where were the two troops of the 16th Division and the 18th Division?

As a result, Gu Shoufu was so angry that his face turned pale. Since you didn't let me feel better, no one would be better, so Gu Shoufu immediately directly proposed to the headquarters of the Central Branch Dispatch Army, the staff headquarters and the headquarters of the army, saying that the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division and the infantry 23rd of the 18th Division. The brigade did not carry out the order of dispatching troops, did not cover the flanks of the friendly army, and did not immediately rescue and retreat when the friendly troops were attacked, resulting in serious losses to the 11th Infantry Brigade and requested the relevant personnel and sanctions of the 16th Division and the 18th Division.

Tani Shoufu's telegram can be said to have broken the sky, because Matsui Itone was discussing with King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, Ishihara Guaner and others to confirm that the flags of the two infantry regiments had not fallen into the hands of the [***] team, and then thinking about how to report the war situation and casualties?

Report that the 11th Infantry Brigade was hit by annihilation? Matsui Ikone and King Hatohiko Asakamiya are not idiots. They are not so stupid. As for the success of the two formations after burning the flag of the formation in the crisis, it is acceptable why the military flag was burned, so that Major General Sakai Tokuta, who died in the battle, can be called his grief and indignation and death. It seems to be better. As for the casualties! In addition to the previous battles, the original 20 people who were killed in battle became 200 people, and the contact battle was changed to a position attack battle. In this way, if it is scattered, after the attack on Nanjing, it will naturally be closed to people's eyes and ears.

As for how to say [***], it is unbelievable, because the war between the two armies has always been the reduction of their own casualties at the first level, and the enemy's casualties have been expanded at the first level, which is also a military need and a political urgent need.

What shocked Matsui Ishii and Hatohiko Asakamiya was that Toshio Tani, an asshole, actually crossed the level and poked things up? Facing the crazy telegram of the Sixth Division? Both the staff headquarters and the base camp of the military department have felt the seriousness of the situation, but how serious is the so-called heavy loss suffered by the 11th Infantry Brigade? The headquarters of the staff and the base camp of the military are unknown.

Ishihara Guaner glanced at the content of the telegram questioned by the base camp and knew that someone must have turned the matter upside down, and the paper could not wrap the fire. Since it was Gu Shoufu who broke the matter, I'm afraid that the biggest pot will also be borne by Gu Shoufu. Ishihara Guaner remembers that Gu Shoufu seems to be a farmer from Okayama County? He graduated from the 15th Infantry Section of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1903. He can be said to be a guy with no background. He has been wandering around in his spare positions. If it hadn't been for the rapid expansion of the Imperial Army and the lack of senior generals, it would not have been Gu Shoufu's turn to serve as the division commander of the 6th Division. He had suffered in Chengde. The sixth division, which was a great humiliation, has been holding a breath of shame. As a result, the sixth division has failed. Now the sixth division has set a precedent for the imperial army of the empire, that is, the brigade building system has been completely annihired.

For Gu Shoufu's way of going to sue, Ishihara Guaner can only say that Gu Shoufu was dizzy and did a stupid thing. Otherwise, no matter how much the loss is, it is impossible for a lieutenant general to accompany him to death and have a caesarean section? Is that equivalent to recognizing the enemy's achievements in disguise? Even if Gu Shoufu wants to die by caesarean section, I'm afraid the base camp can't tolerate it!

But now Gu Shoufu has taken the initiative to break through the sky. I'm afraid that Matsui Ishigen and King Hatohiko of Asakamiya will also be implicated. As for who can save Gu Shoufu, it's hard to say.

It is said that when I was biting a dog for the destruction of the 11th Infantry Brigade, Zhang Xuewu began to adjust and improve the fortifications on a small scale when the morale was high. In fact, in Zhang Xuewu's eyes, there were two Japanese troops that must be completely annihilated. One is Gu Shoufu's sixth division, which is known to future generations. Beast walk.

However, few Chinese people know that the most people killed in the Nanjing Massacre were not the Sixth Division, but the 16th Division of Nakajima Jinwu. The two hundred-person Zhanjing Toshiaki and Noda Yi in the Nanjing Killing Competition were all from their subordinates. The 16th Division collectively massacred about 160,000 soldiers and civilians in Nanjing, which can be said to be vicious. Full of.

This time, the 16th Division of the Japanese army skidded like a loach fish, which also made Zhang Xuewu clearly realize that the Japanese army was not all reckless people. Many of the Japanese army's wing and brigade-level commanders are familiar with Chinese history and like delicate tactics and combat. .

Zhang Xuewu took a group of generals to the main peak of Jiangjun Mountain to inspect the fortifications. Previously, closed forts and open air defense bunkers had been built on the main peak of Jiangjunshan, but only a small part was built, which was nothing more than to deal with the inspection of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs at that time.

Zhang Xuewu's position is placed in Niushou Mountain and Jiangjun Mountain. The highway between the two peaks is a necessary place for the Japanese army. If the Japanese army detours, it must directly face the positions along the Qinhuai River such as Hewan, Datang, Hongcun and Jinsheng Village. If Jiangjun Mountain is lost. Then, the condescending Japanese army can use artillery to bombard along the Qinhuai River, so the defenders can only retreat to the second-line positions on the front line of Yuhuatai for defense.

On the whole, the urban area of Nanjing is uneven. The remnants of the middle branch of Zijin Mountain extend about 20 kilometers to the west. Next to the Taiping Gate is Fugui Mountain, Xiaojiuhua Mountain and the Arctic Pavilion enter the city. It continues to connect the Xiashu loess hill formed by alluvial deposits of the ancient Yangtze River to the west, dividing Nanjing City into two, forming the Qinhuai River water system and gold. The natural watershed of the river system.

In the north of the city, there is Lulong Mountain, Ma'an Mountain in the west of the city, and Shizigang in the south of the city. Nanjing City is surrounded by mountains. The famous large and small peaks are Zijin Mountain, Niushou Mountain, Shofu Mountain, Qixia Mountain, Tang Mountain, Qinglong Mountain, Huanglong Mountain, Fangshan Mountain, Zutang Mountain, Yuntai Mountain, Laoshan Mountain, Lingyan Mountain and Mao Mountain. In addition, Fugui Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Arctic Pavilion Mountain, Qingliang Mountain, Lion Mountain, Jilong Mountain, etc. are scattered in the city, forming the landform characteristics of mountains, rivers and hills.

Although there are many mountains in Nanjing, many mountains can't be defended at all, and there are many problems in the distance and distribution between mountains. Therefore, when Zhang Xuewu stuck to Nanjing, he chose to combine the peaks and fortresses and relying on rivers. The main rivers in Nanjing are the Yangtze River and the Qinhuai River.

Especially along the Qinhuai River, Zhang Xuewu's total length of more than 100 kilometers to the outside of Wudingmen in Nanjing is divided into two parts, one of which is the main stream. It is said that the outer Qinhuai River flows around the city through the Zhonghua Gate, Shuiximen and Dinghuaimen and flows into the Yangtze River from the Sanci River. This section of the Qinhuai River is wide, the water flow is rapid, and it is 105 milliliters in the Zijinshan Fort. Within the range of the rice howitzer group, heavy troops are stationed for defense, and the inner Qinhuai River has relatively little value to Zhang Xuewu. After going through the overall defense deployment in his mind.

Zhang Xuewu pointed to the map and said to Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi, "Niushou Mountain and General Mountain can be said to echo each other from afar. This is the place where our army must defend. The 105mm artillery group on General Mountain can pose a great threat to the Japanese army that attacks our army's positions along the Qinhuai River in any direction, so Niushou Mountain and the general The mountain is the decisive place for our army in the east of the city.

Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi did not speak. They were all waiting for Commander Zhang to assign tasks. Compared with General Mountain, the defense conditions of the fortifications of Niushou Mountain can be imagined. The main reason why Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi kept silent was that Niushoushan was a place to die, not only to die, but also a lot of them. The Japanese army consumes the Japanese army, which can be said to be an extremely difficult task. If Niushou Mountain is lost, it will have a huge impact on the defense of Nanjing. Zhang Xuewu's assignment of tasks is the arrangement of the garrison commander. Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi will not have any complaints, but let them take the initiative to ask for help. In terms of awareness, the two people are still poor. A little bit, after all, they are all their own subordinates. This is a strategic point. The faction will send the so-called elite family to fight. Both troops are replenished from the remnants of the Shanghai battlefield of the sea of corpses and blood. In particular, the teaching team has also been expanded on a large scale. Both Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi are reluctant to give up!

Zhang Xuewu looked back at a large group of generals not far away and said, "Sun Guiming!"

Sun Guiming, who was wearing the colonel's seal, hurriedly ran up and said, "The department is there!"

Zhang Xuewu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your fifth brigade defended the position of Niushou Mountain for me. This mountain is only more than 240 meters above sea level, and the two peaks stand like Niushou. This is a place where soldiers must fight for a strategic battle. Yue Fei, a hero of the anti-Jin nationality in the Southern Song Dynasty, once set up a base here and defeated 100,000 golden soldiers! This place is a place to remember the martyrs. There are dozens of tunnels in Niushou Mountain that year are being excavated and reinforced at night. The firepower of the tunnel and the general mountain are used to cooperate with the surface positions to hoard more food and drinking water. If this battle cannot be defeated, Sun Guiming! This is the place where you and your fifth brigade are buried. Do you understand?

Sun Guiming was slightly excited and said, "Please rest assured that the people are in the position, and the department vows to coexist with the position!"

Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi's faces were slightly ugly, and they muttered in the bottom of their hearts that Zhang Xuewu was really a two-shot. Where did he let his subordinates die as soon as he got up? What kind of order is this?

Zhang Xuewu turned around and said, "Captain Gui Yongqing, please mobilize the troops of the two regiments to cooperate with the 105 artillery group of Jiangjunshan and the seventy-five mountain wild artillery group to defend the main position of the general mountain. In addition, I will send Ye Yunfei, chief of staff to lead the independent five brigades to help you. In addition, the artillery groups deployed along the Qinhuai River are all coordinated to defend Niushou Mountain and General Mountain. Fire support obligation.

Gui Yongqing nodded and said, "Commander Zhang, please rest assured that I should choose the two regiments that can fight to ensure the general's mountain position. If the regimental commander retreats, I will kill the regimental commander. If the battalion commander retreats, I will kill the battalion commander. The troops will fight until the last soldier, showing the majesty of our Chinese soldiers and show the prestige of the elite of my teaching team [[***]! "

Gui Yongqing's intention at the present is even clearer, that is, you, Zhang Xuewu, underestimate my teaching team. We are the Zhongzheng sword, known as the elite of the elite.

Seeing Gui Yongqing's arrogant appearance, Zhang Xuewu also turned to many officers present and said, "Nanjing is our Chinese capital. Now the Japanese army strategically implements the north and south side by side. After the loss of Taiyuan, Shandong will also face a major crisis. I said that I want to take advantage of the gap that my [***] Shanghai battle has not yet been prepared. Using the tactics of whale swallowing, I am trying to force our army to fight against it without being fully prepared, and destroy the main force and war potential of our army in one fell swoop. It is said that I am going to destroy my country and destroy my race!"

Zhang Xuewu lit a cigarette for himself and said, "I also know that Nanjing can't be guarded. Even if we can resist myself, it is still unknown whether Hu Zongnan in Jiangbei can withstand the army. So I ask you to do your best. At the last moment, I, Zhang, decided to die for the country, but I will also leave a note for you. In the back, you are all party and national elites. How can you sacrifice easily? It is said that there are no more gains and losses in Nanjing. Our army should exchange space for time and consume the strategic reserves of the Japanese army with flesh and blood. The victory of this war must belong to us!"

Zhang Xuewu's words can be regarded as a settlement for the officers above the brigade who participated in the Battle of Nanjing, that is, don't worry about it! In case the city is broken, you don't have to die in the city! Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi looked at each other, and the two of them shouted in their hearts! First of all, it was clear that the whole country was electrocuted to defend, and the retreaters were equivalent to the annihilaration of Han Dynasty. Then in private, they caught people's hearts to launch their fighting spirit. In this way, they were originally timid and dared to let go. Those who were originally prepared to fight with the Japanese army endlessly went to the fire and water and water.

When Zhang Xuewu took a group of people to inspect the Niushou Mountain tunnel, he suddenly said to Yu Jishi, "I heard that Zhang Lingfu, the head of the choulong regiment of the 51st division of Wang Yaowu, is a fierce general? How about lending it to me?

"Ah?" Who is Yu Jishi? He is a trusted team of Chiang Kai-shek. He has always been the only one who digs other people's corners, and no one dares to dig him. Zhang Lingfu is definitely a fierce general. In the Battle of Shanghai, he personally led the death squad to counterattack the Japanese army, and finally defeated the flank of the Japanese army. His performance is remarkable.

But Yu Jishi is a little strange. How did Zhang Xuewu know Zhang Lingfu? Gui Yongqing, who was beside him, hurried away and said as he walked, "Qiu Qingquan, I gave it to you!" Now that the war is coming, no one will be rich. I'll go to the front to have a look!"

Yu Jishi looked at Zhang Xuewu with some depression and said, "Why don't you change it?"

Zhang Xuewu smiled and said, "Is it good for you? Absolutely good!" Then Zhang Xuewu took a very heavy box from behind and handed it to Yu Jishi. Yu Ji almost hit his foot. He opened it and took a cold breath and said, "Isn't this too expensive?"

It turns out that the box that Zhang Xuewu gave to Yu Jishi is a big gold brick equivalent to the space inside the box! Is it the first time I've seen such a large brick Yu Jishi in my life? There is always 30 catties! Exchange 30 catties of gold for a regimental commander? Isn't Zhang Xuewu's brain sick?

Yu Jishi frowned and looked at Zhang Xuewu. Zhang Xuewu was also full of unwillingness. If it hadn't been for Yu Jishi, he could directly transfer Zhang Lingfu. Now he needed to call Yu Jishi, let Yu Jishi go through the door of the military and political department, and officially transferred Zhang Lingfu to his Rehe Legion.

Zhang Xuewu has found a position for Zhang Lingfu, that is, the captain of the general reserve of the Nanjing grison headquarters, commanding the first, second, third and fourth brigades, doing the work of the firefighting captain!

Zhang Xuewu's nervous deployment of troops was adjusted and deployed, and the dispatch of the middle branch of the Japanese army, which suffered great humiliation, invested in the 3rd, 9th, 11th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 101st and 11th divisions under his jurisdiction, Chongteng Detachment, the 5th Brigade, 7th Brigade, and the chariot. II. The 4th and 7th Wings, the direct communication team, the direct military station troops and other troops marched together to Nanjing. Among them, the three divisions of the 13th, 101st and the 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army fought again as reserve teams.

For a while, the dark clouds of war suddenly rose, and the army did not say that the generals were under the city!
