6.46 Stalemate

"Commander, the combat effectiveness of Xie Wen's eastern team is also relatively strong in the Central Army, and now with the reinforcement of Song Xilian's 36th Division, there will be no problems in Moling Pass in a short time, and Wang Shankui of the 18th Division is also quite strong, the most troublesome thing for us now is the two Japanese divisions in front of the 83rd Army, Deng Longguang has been pushed to Tangshan Town, and he can't retreat a step......"

Fan Jiezhi Huang Haoran sat next to the sand table the latest battle situation, after the fog cleared, the Nanjing garrison frontal results of the Japanese division as if an appointment launched an attack on the periphery of Nanjing, because Huang Haoran crippled the 114th Division in Lishui, so Matsui Shigen transported the main force of the 3rd Division originally stationed in Suzhou to the Nanjing battlefield, and now the 3rd Division and the 9th Division are taking turns to attack Deng Longguang's 83rd Army in Tangshan Town, facing the overwhelming superiority of the Japanese army, Deng Longguang's 83rd Army could only hold on with great sacrifice, the casualties of the defenders of Tangshan far exceeded the battles of Moling Pass and Hengxi, and the 103rd Division of the 57th Army of Jurong also retreated to Tangshan with Deng Longguang's 83rd Army, behind them was Qilin Gate, the east gate of Nanjing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 83rd Army's loss of Jurong also brought a sequelae, that is, the Zhenjiang Fortress suddenly became a prominent area, and the Japanese army could now calmly surround Zhenjiang City and Zhenjiang Fortress from several directions, facing the siege of the 11th Division and the Japanese Marine Corps, the 57th Army in Zhenjiang City couldn't bear it anymore, and began to desperately send a telegram to Nanjing for help.

When the Japanese army broke through the Zhenjiang city defense last night, Liu Xing, the commander of the river defense, did not care about the danger that the fog would close the river and he might capsize and die at the bottom of the river, so he fled from Zhenjiang to Pukou by boat overnight, and in Liu Xing's eyes, the city of Nanjing on the other side of the river would sooner or later end up with Zhenjiang, so he, the deputy commander of the Nanjing City Defense Command, said that he would not return to Jiangnan from Jiangbei after crossing the river.

The defenders of Zhenjiang Fort, who were abandoned by Liu Xing, still have iron buckets of the 112th Division of the 57th Army surrounded by the Japanese army, and the commander of the 57th Army, Miao Hanliu, and the commander of the 112th Division, Huo Shouyi, are now the eighth generation of ancestors who scold Liu Xing, and it is useless.

Liu Xing can leave without saying a word, but Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi can't do this, because Liu Xing's position is not in Zhenjiang, and the commander of Jiang Defense and Jiang Defense means that as long as they stay on the edge of the Yangtze River, they will not be considered to have escaped, and Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi will have to go to the military office if they dare to escape like Liu Xing!

If it was really Tang Shengzhi who was sitting in charge of affairs in Nanjing City, Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi really wanted to gamble, but everyone knew that Tang Shengzhi was just an ornament, and Huang Haoran, who was really in charge of the military, was not a good stubble, if Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi lost Zhenjiang without saying a word, Huang Haoran would have killed someone!

Miao Hanliu, commander of the 57th Army, and Huo Shouyi, commander of the 112th Division, agreed that it was best to kick the ball to Huang Haoran, the deputy commander, and now only Huang Haoran, the commander in charge of military affairs, can save the 112th Division of the 57th Army, Xu Yuanquan's second army is equipped in the east of the city, of which the 48th Division of the 10th Army is stationed near Yanziji and Wulong Mountain, in addition to the 83rd Army that fell into a bitter battle, the second army is the closest friendly army to the 57th Army!

So in the telegram sent by the 57th Army, Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi used that classic line: "For the sake of the anti-Japanese army!" Give your brother a hand! "Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi can say such inappropriate things to Huang Haoran, the commander, it seems that the situation of the 112th Division of the 57th Army is already very bad!

Can you save the 112th Division? Which force will save them? It's a tricky question!

The 48th Division of the 10th Army proposed by Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi cannot be moved, Xu Yuanquan's Second Army is not strong in combat, and Wulong Mountain is an important place for the fort, so it is definitely an unwise decision to transfer the infantry of the Gongwei Fort to Zhenjiang, Huang Haoran doesn't want the 48th Division to be reimbursed so inexplicably!

Li Tiejun's 1st Army could draw out a division, but the Japanese troops surrounding Zhenjiang were a division, so what role could a mere division of reinforcements play? Isn't this a food delivery for devils?

Do you want to see death and watch the 112th Division be wiped out by the Japanese army!? It's all an army of devils! How can I bear it!

Fan Jie looked at Huang Haoran's embarrassed expression, and he gave Huang Haoran an idea:

"Commander! Are you willing to give the 112th Division an order, let them abandon Zhenjiang City and move closer to the fortress, and then we will send a group of ships over and let them board the ships to cross the river and withdraw to Yangzhou! ”

"That's the only way! Chief of Staff Fan, you go and do it! Let the navy's torpedo boats help you, there are devil warships on the river near Zhenjiang, even if the torpedo boats can't sink a few, they can keep them busy for a while, and you can do things......"

After listening to Yile, Fan Jie said happily: "If you have the help of the navy, you will be more sure!" Commander, I think I still want you to talk to Liu Gongdi, the commander of Wen Tianxiang's squadron, everyone in the headquarters knows that I am your chief of staff, but no one knows me outside, after all, we don't have a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Military Affairs, do we? ”

Huang Haoran thought that what Fan Jie said made sense, he was used to treating Fan Jie as the chief of staff, but the chief of staff of the Nanjing Urban Defense Command, who was appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs, was indeed Zhou Lan, and Fan Jie was at best his adviser, and the navy would not buy Fan Jie's account.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to the Navy about borrowing their torpedo boat squadron! You go to Wang Huanzhi about the ferry, now all the boats in Jiangnan are in his hands, and he can still get the boat of the thousands of people in the 112th Division! Didn't Matsui Ishine stare at the bombardment of the river between Shimonoseki and Pukou? Let's take a forced crossing of Zhenjiang and give Matsui Shigen a little surprise! ”

Soon the telegram to the 112th Division was sent, and Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi, who received the telegram, were glad that they had found the right person, and crossing the river from the Zhenjiang Fortress was also their last plan, but the ships in the fortress could only transport a few hundred people at a time, and Miao Hanliu and Huo Shouyi, who were suffering from the lack of ships, were overjoyed to hear that Huang Haoran would mobilize a large number of ships to help them cross the river!

Liu Gongdi, commander of the Wen Tianxiang squadron of torpedo boats on the navy's side, also hit it off with Huang Haoran! Liu Gongdi had long been very dissatisfied with the order to leave his torpedo boat squadron in Nanjing to blockade the river. Torpedo boats are offensive weapons, and in Liu Gongdi's eyes, Huang Haoran's classic example of sinking the "Izumo" should be the object of study for the navy.

So it only took a few minutes for Huang Haoran to get a strong response from Liu Gongdi, and the officers and men of the Wen Tianxiang squadron of the navy's torpedo boat are now waiting for Fan Jie to arrange tasks for them!

The plan to rescue the defenders of Zhenjiang went very smoothly from the beginning, which made Huang Haoran and Fan Jie feel encouraged.

In order to make Tangshan's 83rd Army hold on longer, Huang Haoran transferred a part of his basic army, the 99th Division, to the Tangshan battlefield, which was also the most powerful support Huang Haoran could give to Deng Longguang......

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

Tangshan, located more than 30 kilometers southeast of Nanjing, has a hot spring, also known as Tangshui. Tangshan is famous for its hot springs, peculiar natural landscapes (karst caves, stalactites), and many ruins of the Ming Dynasty (Yangshan steles, etc., a line of sky).

The highest authority has a hot spring villa in Tangshan Town, which is surrounded by mountains, green trees, birds and flowers, and wet springs. It is surrounded by the unique Yangshan stele, Tangshan cave, Anji Lake and Longchang Temple, the first mountain of Vinaya. It has been a fascinating place since ancient times, and celebrities have come one after another. In the early years of the Republic of China, a large number of dignitaries and dignitaries successively built hot spring villas here, including the "Tao Lu" built by Jiangning celebrity Tao Baojin in 1919. In 1927, the Republic of China established its capital in Nanjing. Soon, "Taolu" was confiscated as a "reverse property". In April 1946, the Nanjing government converted the house into a special hot spring villa for the highest authorities and "ladies". The building is a combination of Chinese and Western, solemn and elegant, divided into two floors: above ground and underground. On holidays, the highest authorities and their "ladies" would drive here to take a nap accompanied by their attendants.

Now that Tangshan is completely shrouded in the flames of war, this can be regarded as being beaten to the bedroom of the highest authority by the devil, right? I wonder if the highest authorities in Wuhan at this moment have any special thoughts about the fighting in Tangshan?

The division headquarters of Wu Jianxiong, the commander of the 154th Division of the 83rd Army, is located in the courtyard of "Taolu", and he can't care if he has committed any taboos.

The two brigades of the 154th Division suffered great losses in the fierce battles for several days, fortunately, there are still some dangerous places available near Tangshan, coupled with a large number of weapons and equipment that Huang Haoran added to the 83rd Army, Wu Jianxiong's battle was quite passable, and the 156th Division was not so comfortable, the 156th Division Commander Li Jiang's division headquarters was raided by the Japanese army, and a deputy brigade commander was killed on the spot, and the command system of the 156th Division was also messed up for a period of time, if it weren't for the army commander Deng Longguang rushing up with the last reserve in time, The 156th Division will collapse!

Ryosuke Yoshika, commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, is an old devil who is a powerful character!

The situation of the 103rd Division of the 57th Army is also not optimistic, although the 103rd Division has three brigades, but in fact each brigade has only one regiment, and the chief and deputy commanders of the 613th Regiment on the Xishantou position have all been martyred, and there are less than 500 people left in several positions.

The 613 regiment is all the belongings of the 307 brigade, and their brigade commander was also pierced through the lung lobe by a piece of shrapnel from the Japanese army, and now the largest officer of the 307 brigade is left with a battalion commander!

Maybe another hour, no! Maybe in just thirty minutes, the number of the 307 Brigade will disappear completely......

Nanjing is now a melting pot, and no matter how many troops fill it in, it can only turn into water!

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

"Battalion commander! The devil is up again! "The shouts of the sentinels sounded again on the position of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment on the Moling Pass!

"it! Get up! Get up! The little devil is up again! “

The 1st Battalion has repelled three charges of the 6th Division in a row, except for the first time when the 6th Division retreated on its own initiative, and the next two have developed to the stage of white-knuckle combat, and the 1st Battalion now has only about 100 people left, and almost all of them are wounded.

Maybe it's not going to be a good day!

Zhao Dalin thought while swinging a grenade to the edge of the trench, he, the first time he was the battalion commander, had the idea that he couldn't retreat!

There are more than 100 devils' corpses in front of the not very wide position, and the devils of the 6th Division actually don't send people to collect the corpses, Zhao Dalin is now very willing to give the 6th Division some time, his soldiers are too tired and urgently need time to recover their strength.

The devil's three charges were dispatched by three troops, Zhao Dalin's 1st battalion did not get reinforcements, they could only die, no one escaped, the discipline of the 99th Army was very strict, even the recruits knew that they would die in the trenches, if you dared to take a step back, you would never be recognized by the 99th Army collectively!

After the previous three battles, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Battalion had dropped to a very weak level, and this time they failed to suppress the Japanese with firepower, and the devils of the brigade jumped into their trenches with bayonets.

"Battalion commander! The position of the 3rd company was lost! It was the 2nd platoon commander who shouted loudly, Zhao Dalin looked in the direction pointed by the 2nd platoon leader, only to see groups of devils pouring in from the breakthrough of the 3rd company's position, and the machine guns on the 3rd company's position were not moving, perhaps, there was no one over there.

"Follow me! Bring the devil down! Zhao Dalin rushed to the position of the 3rd company with a platoon in the blink of an eye, and after a shuttle, Zhao Dalin fell into a hand-to-hand encounter, he took out a Mauser pistol from his waist with one hand, and threw the submachine gun that had run out of bullets as a javelin with the other, hitting the back of a devil's head.

There are less than ten people alive in the 3rd Company, although the reinforcements brought by Zhao Dalin are a platoon, in fact, there are more than a dozen people, but there are at least 50 Japanese troops standing on this position of about 50 meters at the moment, and the 1st battalion is in an absolutely disadvantageous position in terms of numbers!

"Don't come here! 2 platoon lengths! Block the devils in the back! Don't let them burst in again! At this time, Zhao Dalin saw the 2nd platoon commander rushing over with two soldiers carrying a Makqin, and he immediately ordered the 2nd platoon commander not to fall into this hand-to-hand combat, blocking the devil's reinforcements is the most important thing, otherwise it will consume physical strength and consume his soldiers to death!

The 2nd platoon commander originally wanted to help his battalion commander, and he wanted to disobey after hearing Zhao Dalin's order, but he soon found out that the two soldiers he captured were actually recruits, and when they made the Makqin sound, I was afraid that they could only collect the bodies of the battalion commander and his brothers!

The 2nd platoon commander pushed away a recruit who was scrambling on Makqin, and he loaded the machine gun on the shelf with three strokes and five divisions, and then opened the magazine.

"Bullets! Hurry up! What a stupid post! ”

The two recruits hurriedly opened the bullet box and took out the bullet belt under the angry shouts of the 2nd platoon commander.

"You feed the bomb! You're on alert! Little devil of dog day! Your grandpa is here! ”

The rainstorm of bullets with the anger of the 2nd platoon commander shot towards the Japanese army's pile, and the devils who were rushing towards the position of the 1st battalion were swept to a platoon by Makqin, and the rest of the devils quickly scattered in all directions, looking for the pattern of machine gunners' shooting.

Knowing that the devils are observing their own playing style, the 2nd platoon commander can't stop and change places, and now his machine gun is shooting on this position dozens of meters wide, as long as he stops, the devils will take the opportunity to roll into the trench, and the battalion commander will be dangerous!

"Kill!" Zhao Dalin raised his hand and shot out a devil holding a saber in front of him, the bullets in the pistol had been finished, the surrounding devils would not let Zhao Dalin have time to change the magazine, a devil who was shot in the shoulder flew over, Zhao Dalin dodged the waist and touched something on the ground and smashed it towards the devil's head, but he didn't expect this devil to suddenly stretch out a hand and grab Zhao Dalin's hand and neck, Zhao Dalin could only throw away the pistol caught in the other hand to pinch the other party's neck, This injured devil actually has the strength to handle it, he pressed Zhao Dalin on the trench with a stride and pulled out a dagger and stabbed it, fortunately, Zhao Dalin reacted quickly, he quickly sent the devil's neck away and grabbed the other party's wrist, and these two people grabbed each other's wrists and fought hard.

Suddenly, Zhao Dalin found that the thing he picked up from the ground was actually a grenade, and with the determination to die with the devil, Zhao Dalin took back the hand holding the grenade violently, and suddenly brought it to his mouth.

The devil who pressed on Zhao Dalin's body also saw the guy in Zhao Dalin's hand at this time, when Zhao Dalin bit the lead of the grenade with his mouth, the devil finally collapsed, he let go of Zhao Dalin's wrist to break Zhao Dalin's fingers, he wanted to get out of Zhao Dalin's control, and pulled back his arm holding the dagger, but he forgot that the Chinese-made wooden-handled grenade could not only be used as a bomb, Zhao Dalin taught this devil a good lesson!

The huge Gongxian made it directly on the head of the devil soldier, and the blood splashed everywhere, and the devil soldier fainted all of a sudden, Zhao Dalin took advantage of the situation and smashed it a few more times, and smashed the devil's head into meatballs alive!

A few devils next to him were also frightened by Zhao Dalin's ferocity, and they actually forgot to stab them with bayonets!

"Da Da Da!" This is the 2nd platoon commander who saw Zhao Dalin in a desperate situation, rushed over with a stop, and the devils who were in a daze fell down with blood holes.

"Battalion commander! Pick up the bayonet! Let's kill devils back to back! Fast! ”

Zhao Dalin rolled on the spot and salvaged a 38-style in his hand, he didn't forget to pull out the lead of Gongxian Zao in his hand and threw it out, the grenade that had just saved Zhao Dalin's life fell to the ground and blossomed, and several devils were reimbursed at once.

The 2nd platoon commander threw away the Czech pistol after shooting and stood with Zhao Dalin back to back, Zhao Dalin also used this time to change a magazine, they gave their backs to each other with confidence, on the battlefield, such trust sometimes saves your life!

"You've come here, what about the heavy machine guns?"

"Battalion commander, don't worry! Reinforcements are coming! You listen! ”

"Tick tock, tick tock! Tick tock! "It's the sound of the Stormtroopers! The reinforcements discharged by Xie Wendong overcame all difficulties and finally appeared behind the position of the 1st battalion!

"Hit! Brothers! Reinforcements have arrived! ”

Zhao Dalin and the 2nd platoon commander shouted out what they wanted to say most at the moment! But they did not receive an answer from their brothers.

The 1st Battalion fought bravely and tenaciously in this positional battle, and after the 4th charge of the Japanese repelled by the reinforcements, Zhao Dalin counted his subordinates, and even he and the 2nd platoon commander who was stabbed through the lower abdomen were left with only 9 people left in the 1st Battalion!

Huang Haoran shed two lines of tears after reading the battle report on the front line...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
