Chapter 252 The Last Counterattack of the Nanjing Defense War

Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace looked at many generals beside him with a gloomy face at this moment. Today is the last night of the emperor's imperial order to capture Nanjing. Originally, he thought that the defense of breaking through Nanjing barely entered Nanjing City. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army still had the military force to counterattack?

Boom! Boom, boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, Nanjing City seems to have an earthquake, especially the countless small highlights outside the China Gate are flying in the sky? What kind of weapon is that? Many Japanese generals raised their telescopes and looked at those small highlights of fast flight?

With the dense continuous explosion outside the Chinese Gate, Gu Shoufu stumbled and almost fell to the ground! Because Gu Shoufu had just proudly claimed that the 36th Infantry Brigade under the command of Major General Niu Daoman had launched a general attack on Zhonghuamen, and it was already a matter of success to capture the Zhonghuamen and open the door of Nanjing.

The main force of the 36th Infantry Brigade under the command of Niu Daoman and the 47th Infantry Regiment of the 11th Infantry Brigade are all trapped in the street battle outside the Chinese Gate at this moment. The Chinese have the habit of building houses close to the city wall, which is the same in different regions that have been continued by the Chinese people of all dynasties. Customs, just like leaning against a big tree to enjoy the cool, in ancient times, especially during the war, these houses were demolished and burned before the war to protect the safety of the city wall. However, in modern times, the practical effect of the city wall in the face of modern three-dimensional war has been minimized, so no one will pay attention to those close to it. The slums of the city wall or moat.

But it is these maze-like buildings in the slums that block the progress of the Japanese army. The remnants of the two temporary brigades led by Zhang Lingfu are retreating to the slums outside the Chinese Gate at this moment. In order to stop the continuous pursuit of the Japanese army, Zhang Lingfu ordered the fire to start the Chinese soldiers left in the fire. Soldiers are fighting in blood.

Zhang Lingfu received an order from Zhang Xuewu, asking him to lead the guard platoon to immediately enter the Chinese Gate to report to Hao Wenbin? Zhang Lingfu was surprised by Zhang Xuewu's order. Since the radio station is connected, why didn't he issue the order directly? Why should I report to Hao Wenbin, who is preparing troops to counterattack in the China Gate? Since the reinforcements have come, why do they refuse to reinforce?

Xu Xu, the brigade of the temporary reading power first brigade, looked at Wang Hexin, the commander of the temporary reading power second brigade, who was also covered with gunpowder smoke, with a sad smile and said, "Command Zhang, you obey the order!" Now at least tens of thousands of Japanese troops have invaded here. If the Zhonghua Gate counterattacks, don't want to annihilate me without more than 10,000 casualties. Even if you defeat the infiltrated Japanese army, no casualties of 3,000 or 5,000 people can do it?

Zhang Lingfu was slightly stunned and immediately understood everything and said, "This is a big counterattack of the whole situation!" We still have nearly 2,000 brothers here! Can't you treat them all as abandoned children?"

Wang Hexin took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter whether you sacrifice or not. Shanghai will kill you in the dark. When will you not consume the strength of the whole division? It's worth it for us to replace the 10,000 main force of the two thousand remnants. It's really worth it. If you guys haven't survived Chengren, please say it in front of Commander Zhang Xuewu that our brother is also worthy of the grandeur. Let's reward a major general's light plate belt! At least the body is transported back to his hometown, isn't it? Otherwise, if you have been a soldier all your life, you will not be a general when you are dying. You really have no face to see your father in your hometown!"

Zhang Lingfu disdained and said, "You underestimate me, Zhang Lingfu too much. Wealth is in danger. What the soldier eats is this bowl of rice with his head. Who have we been afraid of? If the little devil dares to come, let him come over. The deadly cannonballs won't die, and the annoying hell won't accept it.

Zhang Lingfu dragged the frequency of Zhang Xuewu's headquarters, which was directly connected by the radio station, and asked to coexist with his department. If he could survive, he would thank Zhang Xuewu for his kindness and kill more devils to serve the country.

Zhang Lingfu is indeed a fierce general in Zhang Xuewu's eyes. Unfortunately, his surname is too prominent to be a man. Such a member of the fierce general needs to have a Bo Le who can control or endure him, otherwise it will be in vain to have a thousand miles.

Zhang Xuewu gave Liang Baohua a shooting command, so there was a scene seen by Prince Hatohiko and other generals in the front.

Rows of 105mm rockets landed in a large number of residential houses and shops outside the Chinese Gate, exploding and burning everywhere. The earth seemed to burst and was about to collapse. Against the flash of the explosion, the living Chinese soldiers were still fighting with the Japanese army.

There are fallen corpses everywhere, broken internal organs and broken limbs and broken arms everywhere. In the rubble, the headquarters of the 36th Infantry Brigade and the 47th Wing were blown up. For the first time they saw such a fierce artillery blow, especially when the shell landed, the whole earth was shaking. Move.

Liang Baohua, who took off his arms, roared and loaded the bullet after the launch. The two prepared ammunition men ran quickly with a 105mm rocket shell. The two shouted their horns and weighed 17 kilograms of battle parts, and the whole 79 kilograms of rockets were filled into the hot hair. Inside the shot tube.

The so-called volley of multi-barge rocket launchers is not actually a real one-by-one launch, but the first shot in the left side of the upper layer, and the second shot of the second shot on the right side of the lower layer are launched alternately in order. The temperature of the newly launched tubes often exceeds Baidu, and the loader will inevitably be burned by it, but even if it is hot. The skin and flesh were ringing, and the loaders were still shouting their trumpets naked, quickly loading 105mm high-explosive rockets one by one.

9 minutes and 57 seconds! Liang Baohua glanced at his watch with satisfaction and shouted, "Get ready for each gun position and shoot in a sqi!"

It was another round of overwhelming rocket counterattacks. Niu Dao, who had just survived the disaster, was stunned by the small highlights launched from the city again. Can he be so lucky this time? Boom! The violent explosion of a 105mm high-explosive rocket swept a distance of more than ten meters. Niu Daoman and several staff officers who tried to cover him were hit by wanton shrapnel like rag dolls, rolling more than ten meters on the ground, and the whole body was twisted and deformed.

Looking at the small highlights and the explosion like the collapse of the sky and the earth, Asukamiya Hatohiko and others, needless to say, they also clearly took the new weapon that must be in the middle ***. Asakamiya Hatohiko gritted his teeth and said, "Order Koizumi Wenren's field heavy artillery 11th Brigade, be sure to destroy these [*** ] The new weapon, Zhang Xuewu, a despicable and sinister bastard, still hides such a powerful new weapon? You must kill Zhang Xuewu in Nanjing, or he will become the biggest enemy of the empire.

Asakamiya Hatohiko ordered Koizumi Wenren's field heavy artillery regiment 11th regiment to shell the middle [***] new weapon launch position in Zhonghuamen?

Fujita Jin, the commander of the Third Division of the Japanese Army, couldn't help frowning slightly, but seeing what some of his colleagues realized, but no one spoke? Fujita also understood everything. Obviously, a smart man would not touch the mold of Prince Hatohiko Asamiya in rage this time.

Although the range of the Type 38 150mm heavy howitzer equipped by the heavy artillery brigade is far less than the German 32x barrel diameter 150mm heavy howitzer equipped by the Chinese garrison, the recent continuous air strikes seem to have hit the heavy artillery very hard on the heavy artillery, passing through [* **] The counterattack gunfire on the north bank of the river can also be found that [***] scattered the heavy artillery units that should have been used centrally, and it was not easy to gather the scattered heavy artillery again in a short period of time, so Fujita Jin thought that he might be because of the new weapons in [***] was too nervous, some The grass and trees are all soldiers.

Within a range of less than two square kilometers, the first regiment of mobile artillery completed three rounds of siloblasts in 30 minutes and successfully withdrew from the launch position. If the artillery experts in Rehe know that the speed of unarmed loading can be compared with that of the loader, they will be stunned and unbelievable. .

You should know that although the "hail" rocket uses a short body, weighing only 79 kg per shot, the filling time is also strictly required. It can be said that Liang Baohua is at the risk of overheating ammunition to explode at the filling speed that has not been reached in this theoretical value, and there is no overheating of ammunition. It's all about luck. In Liang Baohua's words, fighting is life.

A lot of theoretical things can only exist in theory forever, but in fact, the excellent and brave Chinese artillery did it, but they also paid a high price. Almost everyone has five or seven deep burns, and the expression on everyone's face looks very strange? It's not clear whether it's pain or happiness? Looking at the smoke and fire outside the Chinese gate, Liang Baohua smiled happily for the first time after entering Nanjing.

And Liang Baohua took out a badge engraved with a hail rocket launcher from his pocket and wore it on the identification badge on the left chest, which is a unique logo of the Rehe Corps. It has not been worn before for confidentiality. The officers and soldiers of the Mobile Artillery Regiment are also considered to be the logistics force of the Rehe Legion, because only There is no arms identification symbol on their chests.

The Mobile Artillery Regiment landed 3,4505mm high-explosive rockets within 30 minutes. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers of Zhang Lingfu survived less than 100 people. Zhang Lingfu, who was stunned and fell into a dry well, was carried to China Gate by his subordinates, and temporarily edited. Colonel Xu Xu, the commander of the first brigade, and Colonel Wang and Xin, the commander of the second brigade, both died for the country and became strong and benevolent.

The losses of the Japanese army cannot be counted for the time being, but in such a dense and narrow area, the Japanese army invested three infantry regiments to try to swallow Zhang Lingfu's remnants and occupy the Chinese Gate in one fell swoop. It can be seen that the Japanese army's tactical intentions are ambitious, but Niu Daoman, who is good at carrying out accurate tactical attacks, is also thorough this time. It's miscalculated.

In Niu Daoman's military career, this is the first time he has completely miscalculated. I'm afraid even Niu Daoman himself did not expect it. Just this miscalculation made him lose his last name directly? After careful calculation for a lifetime, the last move was completely destroyed. This is the most appropriate portrayal of Niu Daoman.

It can be said that the 36th Infantry Brigade and the 47th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army were suddenly counterattacked by fierce fire. The fire outside the Chinese Gate made Qiu Qingquan extremely excited. Hao Wenbin was also very excited, because the fierce firepower of the mobile artillery regiment made all three infantry regiments of the Japanese army. It's all covered.

In such a narrow area, the two armies were entangled with each other. At this time, the firing was always my own patent, but this time, what surprised Niu Daoman was that Zhong [***] actually launched an overwhelming fierce shelling, and such a dense firepower allowed it to enter its scope. The troops did not have any reaction at all. There were explosions everywhere, flickering shrapnel everywhere, and only broken corpses.

Hao Wenbin took the opportunity to immediately cooperate with Qiu Qingquan's armored assault group to attack the military headquarters from Xishuimen, Zhonghuamen and Guanghuamen respectively. For a moment, the various departments of the army could be said to be in chaos, and the 18th Division of the 6th Division interspersed with troops in response to hundreds of the 6th Division half an hour after the shelling. After the defeat, a captain grabbed an officer of the 18th Division in horror and said eagerly, " Hurry up! Hurry up! The flag of the 45th Infantry Regiment was lost in the shell of [***]!"

When the news was reported to Prince Hatohiko Asakamiya, the substitute commander of the Central Branch Dispatch Army ten minutes later, it was lost not only the flag of the 45th Infantry Regiment, but also the flag of the 23rd Infantry Regiment belonging to the 36th Infantry Brigade.

Asakamiya Hatohiko's hand, which was shocked by a cold sweat, was already a little shivering. He also knew that anything could happen on the battlefield with chaotic war conditions on the front line. It was understandable that Niu Daoman concentrated his entire brigade on continuous attacks to seek a breakthrough, but he encountered the new martial arts of [***]. The device?

Once again, the 11th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division encountered a counterattack from the troops of the Rehe Army, and almost lost the regimental flag. Thanks to the timely burning, this time it turned out to be the 6th Division? And it's two sides again? Does Gu Shoufu, the damn old bastard, want to kill himself?

Is the 6th Division addicted to losing the military flag? Why did the General Sixth Division lose its military flag? This damn bad luck division, Chaoxiang Gong Jiuyan hates Gu Shoufu's sixth division at this moment. Thinking of Gu Shoufu's incident that Gu Shoufu's first breach of the outer line of Nanjing Chengyuan Niushou Mountain before, Chaoxiang Gong Jiuyan was a little angry.

However, what makes Hatohiko Asamiya still lingering in his heart is that thanks to the flag of the 47th Wing of the infantry, it has been burned before. There will be no military flag to lose. If three military flags are lost at a time, it will be really lively. Hatohiko Chaoxiang Palace is very lucky that there is no military flag to lose in the 47th Wing of thebu bing, and immediately Chaoxiang Did Gong Hatohiko also find out? It seems that your requirements are too low, right?

Asaka Palace Hatohiko knows very well that if the military flag is lost, then his Asaka Palace Hatohiko will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame of the imperial army of the Empire. How can this happen? Hatohiko Asakamiya warned Gu Shoufu that if he lost the flag of the team, then please break himself and make a Caesarean section to apologize!

Gu Shoufu quietly left the headquarters without any troops to deploy. Gu Shoufu's figure slowly disappeared alone in the darkness. One lost four wing flags in a row in less than 40 days, two of which were burned, and the whereabouts of both sides are still unknown? If the lost military flag is captured by [***], then Gu Shoufu can only have one way to apologize by caesarean section.

Although it was the sixth division that lost the military flag, the wing flag was related to the honor of the whole imperial army. The overall honor of the imperial army of the imperial army was placed on this side of the joint flag, so Prince Hatohiko Chaoxiang Palace immediately ordered that the original response to the Sixth Division was interspersed with the 18th to protect its flank. The division's Sadao Nakajima's troops immediately transferred the 55th Infantry Wing and the 56th Infantry Regiment under the jurisdiction of Major General Ueno Kamupu of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, which were assigned to a part of the 11th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery. The first brigade and the second brigade of the second regiment of the second regiment of the chariots carried out a counterattack on the front line of Zhonghuamen. The two wing flags lost in the fierce gunfire must be found.

In the face of the counterattack carried out from the direction of Zhonghuamen, Colonel Nofu Changde, the captain of the 55th Infantry Regiment, and Colonel Fujiyama, the captain of thebu bing's 56th Regiment, could only lead the troops to cooperate with the first and second teams of the second regiment of the chariots. For the loss of the military flag again by the Sixth Division, wild Fu Changde and Fujiyama Sanro are no longer so shocked, but they also understand that this is different from the raid of the elite of the [***] Rehe Army by the 11th Infantry Brigade.

At that time, the flag guard squadron had enough time to burn the flag and destroy the flagpole to bury Fengjie. The reason for the danger this time was that the two infantry regiments of the 36th Infantry Brigade outside the China Gate and the 47th Infantry Regiment were attacked by unprecedented artillery fire. If the flag guard squadron was unlucky in If it is destroyed by a round of artillery fire, the possible surname of the lost wing flag or even seized by [***] is very large.

The order was directly issued by the headquarters of the Central Branch Dispatching Army to the 55th Infantry Regiment and the 56th Infantry Regiment. As the brigade commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, Major General Guipu and Nakajima Sadao Nakajima, the division commander of the 18th Division knew nothing about it. The two infantry regiments on their side were silent. Is it transferred away?

As a result, there was a serious imbalance in the attack of the 18th Division. The counterattack troops of the Chinese garrison seized the opportunity to divide the fierce pursuit. The sudden counterattack made Nakajima Sadao anxious.

The 55th Infantry Regiment and the 56th Regiment of the Japanese Army, which counterattacked Zhonghuamen, collided head-on with the first brigade and third brigade of the first mechanized division of the first mechanization division of the Rehe Army under the command of Qiu Qingquan and the Rehe Army under the command of Wenbin. For a time, it can be said that Mars hit the earth.
