6.103 Swallow Rock Head (Part I)

Ding Zhipan, the commander of the 41st Division of the 10th Army stationed on the front line of Laoshan, was shuttling around the defensive line with several officers to check, and the commander of the 121st Brigade, Zhang Xichong, led the officers and soldiers to meet his division commander in the trenches, and the division commander Ding nodded and then said to Zhang Xichong: "Division Commander Zhang, these polite etiquette will be waived, hurry up and let the troops clean up the snow in the trenches. ”

Zhang Xichong immediately turned around and asked the officers and soldiers to disband to clear the snow, and the heavy snow flying in the air suddenly stopped ten minutes ago, and the citizens of Nanjing have a saying that "snow does not freeze and snow freezes", which means that after the snow stops, the weather will be colder than the snowy day! The temperature in Nanjing City will definitely drop further tomorrow morning, and the 41st Division, a Guangdong unit, has never encountered such cold weather, and most of the officers and men in the division have seen snow for the first time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ding Zhipan tightened the cotton clothes on his body, he was also shivering from the cold, Ding Zhipan's guards hurriedly put on a coat for him, the texture of this coat is very good, at a glance, you know that it is high-end goods, Ding Zhipan put on the coat and glanced at the officers and soldiers of the 41st Division wielding tools to clear the snow in the trenches, these Guangdong children also put on all kinds of winter clothes outside their thin military uniforms, some people's winter clothes obviously do not fit well, and some people actually put an extra linoleum hat inside the steel helmet in order to keep warm, Seeing this shape of his troops, Ding Zhipan's face showed a wry smile.

After the Second Army Corps arrived in Nanjing, the Ministry of Military Affairs reluctantly allocated a batch of winter clothes to them, and the officers and soldiers were really excited for a while after the clothes were distributed to the troops, and after the Liangguang Incident, the Guangdong troops received only a handful of materials from the central government, and the government pressed the establishment of the Guangdong troops again and again, and now if it were not for the need for the Guangdong troops to defend the city of Nanjing, I'm afraid that the Ministry of Military Affairs would rather have this batch of cotton clothes rotten in the warehouse than take them out to the Second Army.

The officers and men of the Second Army Corps who put on these winter clothes soon discovered the problem, and the officers in charge of logistics received a large number of complaints from the lower-ranking officers and soldiers, and these winter clothes that they did not know were not only of various styles but also had a lot of single clothes mixed in them, and even some of the flower cotton jackets worn by the girl's family.

The Ministry of Military Affairs is treating the Guangdong army as a flower!

What is the minister of this improper beam, the officials in the Ministry of Military Affairs are naturally not much better, corruption, in the Nanjing government system has always existed, after the government withdrew to Wuhan, these people did not stop, the war of resistance was extremely unsmooth, the government's books are full of deficits, want to open up the source is hopeless, so these corrupt officials started the idea of stockpiling materials, warehouses in East China and North China will always disappear out of thin air before the Japanese occupation of a large part of the materials, And these military supplies will appear on the black market at an astonishing price after the makeover, and the military and political department is making a lot of money up and down, and they are used to fishing, and they will be out of number, just take the batch of winter clothes received by the Second Legion, not only the quantity is not right, but the quality is also very poor, and I don't know which dignitary came to the wall in this matter to change the tanuki for the prince, and the tens of thousands of winter clothes of the Second Legion are afraid that they have created a few rich people with public offices.

It was not until the government fully withdrew from Nanjing that a few officials from the Ministry of Military Affairs went to the Second Army Corps and said a few sour words such as "the extraordinary period of the Anti-Japanese War" and "hope that your army will overcome difficulties"!

After Huang Haoran took over the Nanjing Garrison in an all-round way, Xu Yuanquan once again reflected this problem to Huang Haoran with a try-and-see attitude, and Huang Haoran immediately asked Wang Huanzhi to empty the warehouse in the jurisdiction and send out all the winter clothes in stock, not only the Second Army enjoyed such treatment, but even Deng Longguang's 83rd Army was also stained.

Due to the insufficient number of winter clothes in stock, Huang Haoran also let Wang Huanzhi buy a lot in the market in Nanjing, Wang Huanzhi's main method of buying winter clothes is the "reception" of the entire shopping mall and the entire commercial house, with the efforts of the city defense headquarters, the problem of keeping the officers and soldiers warm of the troops was finally solved, but the style of the military uniforms could not be unified, except for the clothes on the 99th Army and several units of the Central Army, the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Garrison were wearing a variety of clothes.

"These servants of the Ministry of Military Affairs, I'll take your lungs!"

Hearing Ding Zhipan, who has always been elegant, scolding, Zhang Xichong, the commander of the 121st Brigade, suddenly had a happy face!

"Smack... Bang bang... Da Da Da ....."

Gunshot! The north wind poured into Ding Zhipan's ears, and his body immediately reacted automatically, and after a loud noise, all the officers and soldiers of the 41st Division lay down in the trenches, and the bolts in their hands were pulled loudly.

Zhang Xichong, the commander of the 121st Brigade, felt that something was wrong after opening the nose of the Mauser pistol, the distance between the gunfire and the position of the 41st Division seemed to be very far, just now a strong wind blew and the gunfire was transmitted, and now Zhang Xichong listened carefully, and the gunfire in the north wind was much smaller.

"Master! The place where the gun was fired was behind the devil's front, what a hell! How can there be a battle there? ”

Ding Zhipan also found out that something was wrong at this time, he slowly stood up and looked towards the place where the gunfire came from, the fire flickered under the sky in the night, and it seemed that it should be Yanziji from the direction, where the 41st Division had fought with the Japanese and lost a battalion.

"Maybe the small force withdrawn from the Zhenjiang fortress was ambushed by the Japanese army, our Nanjing garrison has no troops in Yanziji, and the 66th Army on the right flank has also recovered to the first line of Hongshan, and the Yanziji area is now full of Japanese troops!"

A staff officer at the division headquarters made his judgment, which sounded somewhat reliable, but Ding Zhipan immediately vetoed the judgment of the division staff officer according to the intensity of the exchange of fire that Yanziji was exchanging fire. Even the 105 howitzer was used! Moreover, Zhenjiang has been lost for many days, and even if a small force successfully breaks through, it is almost impossible to pass through the 200,000 troops of the Japanese army and appear in Yanziji.

"Send a report to the headquarters and ask what's going on? Is the commander giving the devil some surprise, if so, our 41st Division must help the field! ”

Ding Zhipan is now blind to the situation in Yanziji, and before confirming what is going on in the battle of Yanziji, he does not plan to make any moves, after all, the task of 41 is to defend the position, even if it is really Commander Huang Haoran who opened up a new battlefield in Yanziji, since the headquarters did not inform his 41st Division, it is to let the 41st Division not interfere.

At the same time as sending a report to the city defense headquarters, Ding Zhipan also called the corps headquarters of the Second Army Corps, and the corps commander Xu Yuanquan was also confused now, and he also wanted to ask Ding Zhipan, who was closest to Yanziji in the defense line, what was going on! These two bosses and subordinates made the same judgment after summing up, it should be that the headquarters has some new action in Yanziji, no way, Huang Haoran's outstanding performance in the battle with the Japanese army has made the officers of the Nanjing Garrison have a kind of thinking inertia, as long as there is a firefight in the rear of the Japanese army, it must be the devil who is going to be unlucky.

Ding Zhipan, who put down the phone, ran to the trenches on the front line and happily looked at the Yanziji with flying artillery, and the officers and men of the 41st Division who were clearing the snow in the trenches were very emotional, and they whispered that it would be the Japanese army that suffered the seedlings, and an optimistic atmosphere filled the defense area of the Second Army.

**************************************************

When the 6th Regiment of the recruits began to go ashore in Yanziji, the Japanese observation posts on the river beach found them, and the Japanese troops who took Yanziji from the hands of the Second Army were the Yamada detachment, and the officer who led the team was Major General Yamada Meiji, the commander of the 103rd Brigade of the 13th Division, and the Yamada detachment was based on the 65th Infantry Wing, equipped with a cavalry brigade and an artillery brigade, with a total strength of about 4,000 people.

Part of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army crossed the Yangtze River at Jiangyin, and the main force crossed the Yangtze River at Zhenjiang to block the northward retreat of the Nanjing defenders. In order to get a share of the honor of conquering Nanjing, the commander of the 13th Division, Lieutenant General Hou Zhou Libing, sent the Yamada detachment along the south bank of the Yangtze River to attack Nanjing, Major General Yamada Meiji, who originally planned to attack the position of the 41st Division tonight, did not quite believe it at first after learning that there was a Chinese army going ashore in the hinterland of the Yamada detachment, Major General Yamada Meiji did not believe that the conservative Chinese general would use such aggressive tactics against his Yamada detachment, and later under the reminder of the commander of the 65th Wing, Ryokakuye Osaku, Maj. Gen. Ume Yamada sent a search party around his troops, but there was no indication that it was a premeditated attack by Chinese troops.

During the period of hesitation of Major General Yamada Meiji, Wu Dongqing's recruit 6th Regiment all landed on the Yanziji River Beach, and Wu Dongqing, who had been a little entangled in his heart, immediately sent a search team, and it was his behavior that made Major General Yamada Meiji suddenly realize that this Chinese army should have been lost on the Yangtze River, and a Chinese regiment ran to the hinterland of the Yamada detachment in the fog, all of which was simply beautiful like a myth, and it was impossible for Major General Yamada Meiji to let go of such a fighter, After ordering a Japanese brigade facing the Laoshan line to go on the defensive on all fronts, Major General Meiji Yamada commanded the remaining two infantry brigades and cavalry brigades to encircle the Chinese troops on the river beach on three sides, as long as it was not the Chinese elite like the 99th Division who went ashore, Major General Meiji Yamada was completely sure to annihilate these Chinese!

The two infantry brigades under the commander of the 65th Wing, Ryokaku Yesasaku, were the protagonists of tonight, and the Japanese soldiers who first exchanged fire with Wu Dongqing's recruit 6th Regiment were Ryokaku's subordinates.

The search troops sent out by Wu Dongqing were all from the 1st Battalion, which had been trained for the longest time in the 6th Regiment of Recruits, and after feeling that the danger was approaching, Wu Dongqing sent his strongest troops as soon as he came up.

The general in the dwarf is still a dwarf, in front of the wolf-like Japanese army, Wu Dongqing's 1st battalion only lasted 20 minutes and was defeated, Wu Dongqing knew very well in his heart that it was these 20 minutes, or relying on the blood in the chest of these student soldiers to survive, his troops were still too weak, and now fighting with the Japanese army was simply sending them to death!

After the courage inspired by the blood subsided, the 6th Regiment of the recruits was defeated, and the student soldiers who threw away their weapons and hugged their heads and cried were everywhere, these people have forgotten that they are on the battlefield, and crying will not exchange even the slightest sympathy for the Japanese army.

Major General Umeji Yamada attacked very quickly, and as soon as the attack was launched, the mountain artillery brigade of the Yamada detachment covered the flotilla on the Yangtze River with artillery fire, and in the overwhelming rain of bullets, the flotilla transporting the recruits of the 6th Regiment quickly embarked on the way home, or the flotilla was fleeing, perhaps more appropriately.

The retreat on the river was broken, and the 6th Regiment of recruits could only fight with the devils, and after seeing their companions fall one after another, the student soldiers all fell into a huge chaos!

The order has lost its effect, and far away from the officers, the student soldiers are looking for their way out!

Several panicked student soldiers dragged their rifles and ran not far in front of Wu Dongqing, these dolls were already frightened by the brutal battle, and they didn't even know that they were now running away from the Japanese army's attack queue, and the devil's crooked handle then sounded, except for a student soldier who was shot in the leg, his companions all fell headlong in the snow, and the smiling ghost soldier walked towards the student soldier who was shot in the leg with a 38 big cover, the student soldier still held a gun in his hand, Wu Dongqing shouted unwillingly: "Shoot!" Shoot! ”

On the noisy battlefield, Wu Dongqing's voice was quickly drowned out by the huge explosion, the student soldiers looked blankly at the devil who was going to kill him, the hand holding the steel gun was like holding a dry firewood, and the devil with the bayonet found the weakness of the opponent, and he began to play a game of cat and mouse.

"Poof......!" The bayonet at the front end of the 38-type rifle stabbed into the leg of the student soldier who was not shot, because of the pain, the slightly immature face of the student soldier began to become distorted, Wu Dongqing even saw the ghost soldier twist the rifle in his hand, Wu Dongqing's blood suddenly surged upward, he raised the pistol and fired three shots, but unfortunately the range of the Mauser pistol was limited, and the bullets fired at such a long distance were outrageous, and the devil with the bayonet was not even frightened.

The student soldier who fell to the ground still didn't remember the weapon he was holding in his hand, the devil soldier laughed wildly and pulled out the bayonet, the severe pain made the student mutiny on the ground sober up a little, Wu Dongqing really wanted to go over and kick it, there must be a bullet in the rifle, as long as the student soldier aimed at the devil and pulled the trigger, the brute in the yellow dog skin didn't want to leave China alive!

It's a pity that the reality is cruel, Wu Dongqing was extremely disappointed to see that the student soldiers under his command threw away the weapons in their hands, cried and turned over and crawled on the ground, and the ghost soldiers were holding bayonets and even behind, this little Japan seemed to be enjoying some wonderful performance!

Wu Dongqing saw that there was an ownerless rifle in front of his left, he flew over and picked it up in his hand, Wu Dongqing put on a standard squatting posture, and aimed his sight at the devil who was following the student soldier with a bayonet.

"Die! Brute! ”

After all, it was still a step slower, and at the same time that Wu Dongqing's bullet hit the devil's head, the devil's bayonet stabbed into his body from the back of the student soldier, and the anger gradually disappeared from the face of the student soldier, and Wu Dongqing's tears couldn't stop rolling down from his eye sockets!

Why did you want these children to come to Nanjing? What are these hot-blooded young people who have joined the army in the eyes of Shangfeng? Are they just cannon fodder?

"Retreat! Distance yourself from the devil! Hug up and hold on! ”

Wu Dongqing's voice was particularly poignant in the smoke of gunpowder, he kept running and shouting, the officers who were responsible for training the student soldiers in the 6th Regiment are now the battalion and company commanders of this student army, these real soldiers who survived from the battlefield are by no means the kind of bureaucrats with mixed seniority in the Ministry of Military Affairs, they began to gather the troops around them after hearing Wu Dongqing's order, and under the pull and pull of these battalion company commanders, the student soldiers who had fallen into chaos formed a small group back to back to fight with the Japanese army, Their footsteps kept moving to the rear, and gradually, the 6th Regiment of recruits retreated to the riverside of Zhidu Mountain.

Zhidu Mountain is more than 40 meters high and connects the river bank in the south, the other three sides are surrounded by the river water, the terrain is very dangerous, the swallow rock that stands on the mountain is the best place to enjoy the river scenery. Rock, refers to a rocky or rocky beach protruding from the water's edge. Yanzi Rock is adjacent to the Yangtze River and is the first rock in the Yangtze River. Swallow Rock because the stone peak abruptly on the river, three sides of the sky, like a swallow spreading its wings and want to fly and get the name, climb the rock head, see the rolling Yangtze River, mighty and mighty, a thousand miles, magnificent. Especially on a moonlit night, when the moon is in the sky, the river surface is sparkling, and the river sails are dotted. Yanziji has always been a resort for literati and ink writers to express their nostalgia in the river, and Shi Kefa, Gong Xian and others have written poems here. There is a royal tablet pavilion on the top of the rock, the front of the stele in the pavilion is engraved with the three big characters of "swallow rock" written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and the back is engraved with a poem of seven unique poems inscribed by this long-lived lord: "When I heard that I was going around the river, I shook the ground and looked at the Hongtao. But they like to rise the sand into green fields, and the smoke forests have been chiseled for a long time. ”

Seeing the stele inside the Imperial Tablet Pavilion, Wu Dongqing finally knew where he was now, the 6th Regiment of the Recruits had missed their destination in the foggy Yangtze River, Yanziji and Bagua Continent were far away, and more importantly, this place had now become the territory of the devils.

Looking at the devils who were as dense as ants on Zhidu Mountain, Wu Dongqing leaned against the pillar of the Imperial Tablet Pavilion and closed his eyes in pain!

"Tuanza! Tuanza! We've got to get out! This swallow rock is a Jedi! Gotta turn back! ”

Han Zhen, this bastard, didn't die! Wu Dongqing opened his eyes and saw Han Zhen sweating profusely, he is really a shooting instructor who hates devils now!

The most damned guy among the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment is still alive! What the fuck!

"Captain Wu! I can't die! You should know that I am related to Commander Han in Shandong! As long as you keep me, there are still many new regiments, and we can start anew in another place! ”

Han Zhen threw out the bait that he thought would work the most, Han Zhen didn't care what would happen to these student soldiers, he wanted to live!!
