Chapter 227 The Bloody Land of Nanjing Defense War

However, Zhang Xuewu is very helpless at this moment, because he is not able to do anything strategically at all. Chiang Kai-shek is also an extremely stubborn person many times. I'm afraid that he should grasp a very good opportunity to give advice to him, especially to figure out Chiang Kai-shek's intentions and speak at the right time.

Zhang Xuewu can't be this grandson. With that energy and time, he also wants to think about the development and growth of Baotou Industrial Zone. After all, the victory of the war does not depend on China itself, but on the change of the environment of the international political group. Although China's territory is vast, its comprehensive national strength is very The difference is that China is destined to be a chess piece on the chessboard, not a chess player.

The Japanese army's siege of Nanjing City reached its peak at five o'clock in the morning. All parts of the Japanese army, which were besieged from the east, south and west, repeatedly used artillery fire to bombard the positions of the Chinese garrison, and cooperated with the assault with chariots. The Japanese army's infantry lined with dense charging formations repeatedly impacting the combined parts of the Chinese garrison.

The artillery fire of the Japanese army blew up the Chinese garrison's position into a sea of fire, and the Chinese garrison also blew up the Japanese army's offensive troops. The Chinese garrison soldiers fought back in the Japanese army's artillery fire, giving the Japanese army a huge killing and injury to the Japanese army's offensive troops. The soldiers in the impact fell to the ground with bullets. , and the subsequent Japanese army blindly continued to rush up with a rifle with a cold flashing bayonet.

Even the dangerous outer positions of Qixia Mountain were once suddenly entered by the Japanese army. It is said that the soldiers of the two armies used submachine guns, rifles, pistols, bayonets, engineer shovels, helmets, stones and even teeth as weapons. In the wanton splashing blood, some Chinese soldiers hung a row of glorious bullets on their chests, lurking in front of the position. In the crater, when the Japanese army's offensive formation passed by, it held two Type 24 German-made grenades and rushed into the Japanese army, smashed horizontally and vertically, and the Japanese soldiers who were hit in the back of the head rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.

When the Chinese soldiers waving brain-stained grenades were pierced by the Japanese army's bayonet, or were hit by bullets, or when they thought it was time to end, they suddenly pulled the grenade and died with the Japanese army.

It is said that I especially like to engage in suicide attacks or attacks, from meat bomb attacks to human torpedoes, and then to the Kamifu death squad. In this regard, I can be regarded as the ancestor of the next generation of Taliban terrorists. Zhang Xuewu's understanding is that my dog's life is relatively worthless.

The 103rd Division of Gui Yongqing's teaching team guarded the Qixia Mountain Fortress. Ye Zhao's division of the 60th division responded on the left wing. The teaching team can be regarded as the elite of the elite in the various departments in Nanjing. It is comparable to the temporary first mechanized division transferred from the Rehe Legion before the expansion.

In the face of the fierce attack of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army and the detachment of the Chongteng Detachment, the Qixia Mountain Fortress was towering and motionless. Because the Japanese army learned that the Qixia Mountain Fortress was guarded by the elite of the teaching headquarters of the army in the middle [***] team, so after several rounds of attack failure, I said that I was crazy and released a large amount of mustard. Zi Qi.

In fact, the teaching corps is subordinate to three infantry brigades, each of which has two regiments. Although the number of the special service battalion, the sergeant battalion, the engineering battalion, the transportation battalion and the communication battalion has been changed to the regiment, in fact, each battalion only adds three to five companies, which is far from the regimental formation of 16 combat companies.

The so-called 103rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army is subordinate to the 5th Brigade and the 6th Brigade of the Teaching Corps. Among them, the 5th Brigade owes the 10th Regiment, and the 10th Regiment is transferred to join the defense of the General Mountain Fortress, so there are only more than three regiments of troops actually deployed on the Qixia Mountain Fortress. It's just that there are less than 15 combat companies used on the front line.

Previously, Zhang Xuewu distributed a batch of gas masks to the teaching team, and the teaching team was also equipped with German and Czech gas masks. However, after the bloody battle in Shanghai and the expansion of the army, the gas masks are naturally insufficient. It is good that six or seven of every 16 people in the strengthened combat class can be equipped with gas masks.

You should pay great attention to the custody of gas masks. In fierce battles, the gas masks carried by soldiers are very easy to be damaged, causing them to lose their due role.

Zhang Xuewu could only reluctantly distribute the first mechanization division of his Rehe Legion, and the extra part was also focused on the teaching corps and the 74th Army, because the use of gas masks requires considerable training, and untrained soldiers can easily cause so-called suffocation.

Neither Zhang Xuewu nor Gui Yongqing were fully prepared for the large-scale release of poison gas by the Japanese army in Nanjing. When the news was immediately reported to Zhang Xuewu, Zhang Xuewu was also stunned and immediately ordered all parts of the Air Force to take off and cooperate with the 13th Division of the Japanese Army and the Taiwan Chongteng Detachment. Lieutenant General He Mutong of the 7th Brigade of the Army Field Heavy Artillery.

In the face of worrying about the strong smell of garlic, with a light green fog, some officers and non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers equipped with gas masks at the front of the 5th Brigade Division of the well-trained Teaching Corps immediately handed over their gas masks to the machine gunners. Ensuring the firepower of the machine gun is equivalent to ensuring the safety of the position, otherwise the position is also a surname. It's hard to die, and now all the departments participating in the Nanjing Defense War are holding their breath, because Zhang Xuewu, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, hung the highest reward "flying tiger flag" given to a unit by the Supreme Military Committee of the National Government Axe!

Especially at the same time, the elite teaching team has been holding a breath with the temporary first mechanized division of the Rehe Legion these days. The appearance of the temporary first mechanized Laozi's first cowhide baking in the world has deeply stimulated the officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade.

In particular, the temporary first mechanization division has achieved the combat achievements of annihilation of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers of the teaching regiment have always felt a serious sense of crisis. After all, the flying tiger flag will make a final conclusion after the Nanjing defense war. For the temporary first machine of the Rehe Legion. The weapons and equipment of the mechanic, as the proud son of heaven, are also jealous. Especially after Zhang Xuewu added a large number of artillery and light automatic weapons to them, the officers and soldiers of the teaching team always feel that they have taken other people's hands, as if they owe the feelings of the Rehe Legion.

The Japanese army spared no effort to capture Nanjing. After General Ishii Matsune, Lieutenant General Hatomiya served as the commander of the dispatched army of the central branch and the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in Nanjing. The capture of Nanjing has become a common decision of the Japanese empire and the military department.

On the second-line positions such as Guanghuamen, Zhonghuamen and Yuhuatai, the [***] team is firmly strengthening the established fortifications. On the front-line positions, all departments of the Chinese defenders are actively preparing, because of the fierce and abnormal attack on the troops of the imperial army.

The heavy artillery brigades of the Rehe Army in Jiangbei and the 10th Artillery Regiment of Yanziji Fortress are enough to form an absolute firepower against the offensive headquarters of the Japanese army.

The effective killing radius of a 150mm high-explosive grenade is about 260 meters, and the effective killing radius of a 75-centimeter grenade is about 50 meters. The Japanese soldiers rushed up tenaciously with the gunfire of the Chinese defenders. The bayonet was against the bayonet, hit the [***] person. I absolutely dare to face any danger.

However, the dense sound of gunfire on three sides of Nanjing City has sounded. The 10th Regiment of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the Temporary First Mechanized Division, which firmly held its position in Niushoushan Fortress, braved the artillery fire of the Japanese army to withstand the waves of fierce attacks of the Japanese army. Before the Niushoushan Fortress, the Japanese army also abandoned the corpse.

Although the name of Niushou Mountain Fortress is the so-called fortress, its main fortifications are only civil fortifications built through assault. Several main supporting bunkers are also built using the ruins of the Ming army's garrison fort in the pre-Ming period. In the face of the 150mm heavy artillery firepower of the Japanese army, the bearing capacity of civil fortifications The force is extremely limited.

The Japanese army's direct-sight gunfire can easily destroy the fire points of the defenders on the peak of the prism. The 75mm artillery group of the defenders was also forced to often shift their positions under the threat of the Japanese army's heavy howitzers. The fighters fighting in the air from time to time pushed the battle to **.

From time to time, the downed fighters fell into the river or the ground with rolling black smoke, and white parachutes opened in the air from time to time.

The Hawker III of the Chinese Air Force, the BF-109F of the Rehe Air Force, and the N-16 of the Soviet Volunteer Aid China Air Force. In terms of the surname of these three types of fighters, only the Hawke III can be close to my Type94 and Type 95 fighters. The other two types of fighters, especially the BF- equipped by the Rehe Flying Tigers The surname of the 109F fighter can far exceed that of the Japanese military fighters, so the BF-109F, known as the Black Death, has almost reached a situation where the pilots of the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force talk about it.

When the Japanese military fighters fled, several observation balloons that the Japanese army did not have time to put away for correcting artillery fire were hit into fireballs. The Japanese military observers on it were thrown into meat cakes. The unfinished Chinese Air Force fighters began to shoot on the ground. The formation of the Japanese army's attack suddenly became chaotic and the panic continued. In more than ten minutes, the Japanese army began to concentrate machine guns to carry out organized air-to-air shooting.

Sun Guiming's face in the command post of Niushoushan Fortress looks very bad at this moment. From the general attack launched by the Japanese army in the early morning to now, the front forces have continuously repelled the Japanese army's crazy 27 attacks one by one.

The first and fourth battalions belonging to the 10th forward regiments were filled in one after another. The forward position of Niushou Mountain was like a bottomless hole. A battle company was filled in for more than ten or twenty minutes. A battalion could not last for two hours. The fourth battalion was reinforced for only an hour and a half, and then called the regimental headquarters to ask for reinforcements.

How can it go on like this? The consumption speed of this kind of force is simply shocking! In particular, after the Japanese army suffered a heavy blow in the trench of Siro, the Japanese army crazily adopted the Xu Jin tactic of artillery fire. Especially when the two armies were fighting together, the Japanese army used artillery to carry out indiscriminate shelling.

Compared with the bloody battle of Songhu Luodian with an inch of mountain and river, the battle for the defensive position in Nanjing City is even better.
