Chapter 167: Soldiers Descend on the City

Zhong Yi's move seems to be an extra move, but it is not!

What is a troop most afraid of every time there is a big war?

The most feared thing is not that the enemy is too strong, but that the thinking is not unified!

The Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, and even the later Chinese People's Liberation Army inevitably carry out pre-war mobilization every time there is a big war. This is because the Communist Party has summed up a bloody lesson in countless defeats: mobilizing before a major war can unify thinking to the greatest extent and gather combat effectiveness!

Zhong Yi's move is to tell every remnant of the 367th Regiment that from now on, don't have any illusions, you can treat yourself as a dead man! Only in this way can we hold the determination to die, and only in this way can we hold the determination to break the cauldron and sink the ship, and it is possible to persevere to the end in this unprecedentedly tragic war that is about to start!

Only Zhong Yi here knows what kind of vicious battle awaits them!

Therefore, Zhong Yi must make the soldiers of the whole regiment determined to die from the very beginning!

After the mobilization was completed, the officers and men of the whole regiment immediately rushed towards Nanjing in accordance with the predetermined order!

The reconnaissance platoon is always the top soldier of the 367th Regiment, walking in the forefront, then the 1st Battalion of the Chu Gang Field, then the 2nd Battalion, then the 7th Independent Battalion, the 1st Independent Battalion, then the regimental headquarters, and finally Yang Chen's 3rd Battalion!

The regimental headquarters and the 3rd Battalion were next to each other, so Yang Chen quickly caught up with Zhong Yi and said in a low voice: "Ah Yi, our 367th Regiment really has to participate in the defense of Nanjing?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "What do you want to say?" ”

Yang Chen said: "What I want to say is that there are already many troops participating in the defense of Nanjing, with a total strength of more than 100,000, and most of them are elites like the 36th Division, 87th Division, 88th Division, and the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy. ”

We must admit that what Yang Chen said is reasonable, the troops defending Nanjing have more than a dozen divisions and more than 40 regiments, and it is really not inferior to Zhong Yi's 367 Regiment, and the 367 Regiment can only play its greatest role if it stays behind enemy lines!

However, Yang Chen wouldn't know what the dozen or so divisions guarding Nanjing would end up fighting for?

It was absolutely impossible for Yang Chen to know that the more than a dozen divisions and hundreds of thousands of elites of the Central Army guarding Nanjing would finally take off their military uniforms, throw away their weapons and hide in the safety zone, and then they were searched out by devils, and finally slaughtered like chickens and sheep!

It is even more impossible for Yang Chen to know that after killing the red-eyed devil, he finally aimed the butcher knife at the innocent people in Nanjing, and finally killed more than 300,000 people, and Nanjing was almost slaughtered into an empty city!

The reason why Zhong Yi wants to go to Nanjing is to stop all this!

Zhong Yi knows very well that if he goes, he may not be able to stop it, but he knows better that if he doesn't go, he will definitely not be able to stop it!

Maybe it's ridiculous, maybe it's really a bit overwhelming, but Zhong Yi is willing to put in one hundred and twenty percent of his efforts for this, what if a miracle happens? Right?

Anyway, Zhong Yi is a time-traveler after all!

Anyway, Zhong Yi can predict many details after all!

At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to talk about it anymore!" ”

Yang Chen sighed lightly and said no more, although it was very difficult to understand why Zhong Yi was so stubborn, but since Zhong Yi was determined to join the frontal battlefield, Yang Chen could only obey!

……

At this time in Chunhua Town, the flames of war have burned half of the sky!

Responsible for guarding Chunhua Town is the 74th Regiment of the 51st Division of the 305th Army, the commander of the regiment Zhang Lingfu!

Before the Battle of Songhu, Zhang Lingfu was imprisoned for killing his wife, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, many party-state soldiers like Zhang Lingfu who had a stain on their bodies were pardoned and allowed to make meritorious contributions.

Zhang Lingfu was asked by Wang Yaowu to come over and serve as a staff officer of the division headquarters.

Shortly thereafter, the head of the 305th Regiment was martyred, and Zhang Lingfu took over as the head of the 305th Regiment.

After Zhang Lingfu became the commander of the regiment, he began to consciously cast the military soul of the 305th regiment, and his first move was that the commanders at all levels must take the lead in every battle, and as the commander of the regiment, he is no exception!

For example, now, Zhang Lingfu, who was red-eyed, held a Bergman submachine gun and personally led his guards to launch a fierce counter-assault on the devils across the street!

"Brothers, rush with me, rush!" Zhang Lingfu shouted while charging, and at the same time raised his gun and opened fire fiercely, and the first few devils were instantly knocked to the ground.

The officers and soldiers of the 305th Regiment saw that the regiment commander was so fierce, and one by one the old cocks were furious, and they rushed out of the barricades, trenches, and the ruins of civilian houses with rifles, followed Zhang Lingfu, and launched a counter-assault against the devil!

"Rush me, hit me!" Zhang Lingfu rushed forward and opened fire fiercely.

A magazine was quickly finished, and when Zhang Lingfu was changing the magazine, a devil machine gun on the opposite side suddenly rang out.

Zhang Lingfu's guards subconsciously took a stride in front of Zhang Lingfu, blocking most of the bullets with his not wide chest, but there was still a bullet that passed under his armpit and hit Zhang Lingfu.

A blood flower instantly bloomed on Zhang Lingfu's arm, and he fell to the ground with a muffled snort.

"Tuanza?!" The commander of the guard company hurriedly stepped forward, helped Zhang Lingfu up, and shouted at the same time, "Retreat!" ”

With Zhang Lingfu's injury, the offensive of the 305th Regiment collapsed in an instant, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side took the opportunity to launch a more ferocious counterattack.

After barely holding on for half an hour, the 305th Regiment was forced to withdraw from its position due to too many casualties, and at this point, Chunhua Town was declared lost, and the originally complete outer defense line was torn open.

At this time, the south gate of Nanjing has been officially opened!

After tearing through the outer defense line of Nanjing, the 19th Infantry Wing of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army drove straight into the area under the leadership of Wing Commander Hitomi Shuzo.

On the morning of the 8th, the Japanese army's Rising Sun Flag appeared outside the Guanghua Gate.

At this point, the Japanese army is officially coming to the city!

Nanjing, the last time has come!

……

At the same time, in Suzhou.

Matsui Ishine's headquarters in Shanghai had been moved to Suzhou.

At the station outside Suzhou, Matsui Shigen was writing a letter of persuasion, which was also the proper meaning of the title, the reason why the Japanese army continued to attack Nanjing after capturing Shanghai was to force the Nationalist Government to surrender!

Now that the capture of Nanjing is imminent, it is time to surrender the Nationalist Government!

Here's what the old devil wrote:

The million-strong Japanese Imperial Army had swept through the south of the Yangtze River, and Nanjing was already under siege.

Judging from the general trend of the war, there will be more harm than good in continuing the war.

However, the land of Jiangning is an ancient city in central China, the capital of the Republic of China, a collection of historical sites such as the Ming Tomb and the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, which has the essence of East Asian culture.

The Imperial Japanese Army did not hesitate to kill the recalcitrant people, but treated the innocent people and the Chinese army without hostility.

For East Asian cultures, there is a special enthusiasm for protection!

If your army wants to continue to resist, Nanjing will be burned in the flames of war, the thousand-year-old culture will be destroyed, and the Nationalist Government's ten years of painstaking management will also come to naught......
