6. 83 The 6th Division at the foot of Niushou Mountain

On December 17th and 18th, the Nanjing garrison without artillery support fought very hard with the Japanese Central China Front, Matsui Shigen's left, center, and right armies marched hand in hand, and the Nanjing garrison arranged in the semicircular outer positions on the first line of Wulong Mountain, Qixia Mountain, Qinglong Mountain, Chunhua Town, Niushou Mountain, and Dasheng Pass was broken through the first line of defense by the Central China Front, and Dongshan Bridge, Yingang, Shangfang, Qinglongshan, and Qilinmen were all occupied by the Japanese army, and the breathing space of Nanjing City was reduced by another piece. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After two days of mobilization and education, the 10,000 officers and soldiers "rented" from the 1st Army basically accepted the fact that they were annexed by the 99th Army, and what Huang Haoran said to these officers and soldiers in the past two days was completely different from what he told Li Tiejun, Huang Haoran seemed to have completely forgotten that these soldiers were temporarily borrowed from Li Tiejun, and he let these officers and soldiers who originally belonged to the 1st Army stay in the 99th Army with peace of mind, and the food and military pay were all preferential! Huang Haoran's move of obviously winning over the people's hearts made He Daru, the former chief of staff of the 78th Division, who took the initiative to "oppose the water" by the riverside, be overjoyed by his wise decision.

Since Huang Haoran didn't even plan to return the borrowed people and horses, then the two regiments brought by He Daru would not be in danger of being "returned" after the war, Huang Haoran had secretly seen the generosity of his own people He Daru had secretly seen it in his eyes for the past two days, and with such a boss, he would definitely not suffer!

Because of the 99th Army that had just taken refuge, He Daru didn't dare to find Huang Haoran directly if he had something, he saw that Wang Huanzhi's face looked quite kind among several core members of the 99th Army, so He Daru quietly squeezed to Wang Huanzhi's side and expressed his worries:

"Wang Junzuo, the commander's move "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou" makes it too obvious? Hu Zongnan is not a trouble-free person, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble in the future......"

Wang Huanzhi listened to He Daru's words and said disdainfully: "My own people can't look at it, Hu Zongnan is only afraid that he has no face to mention this matter, and besides, our 99th Army doesn't worry about Hu Zongnan, what the eldest brother wants to do all these years has not been done?" Hu Zongnan's words are the best, if he dares to make trouble, the eldest brother has to recruit him! ”

He Daru didn't expect his old commander Hu Zongnan, the head of the faction in the Central Army, to have such an image in Wang Huanzhi's eyes! Huang Haoran's henchmen are all very arrogant, it seems that they can't look down on anyone except Huang Haoran in their eyes! The entire 99th Army is like a huge bandit den, as long as someone dares to step in, all the people will hug together and fight out in the future, such a force that only obeys Huang Haoran's dispatch alone is more like Huang Haoran's private soldiers, but the 99th Army is still a "model force" focused on propaganda by the Central Army.

I can't believe everything in the newspapers!

Let's hurry up and ask for battle, if you want to gain a foothold here in the 99th Army, military merit is indispensable, He Daru deliberately coughed twice, and lifted what Wang Huanzhi said just now, Hu Zongnan is He Daru's old commander after all, he is not used to hearing bad words about others Hu Zongnan, Wang Huanzhi saw He Daru's expression and movements in his eyes, if He Daru said that he would turn his face like a grass on the wall, Wang Huanzhi would definitely remind Huang Haoran to arrange a cold bench for He Daru to do, now Hu Daru is unwilling to say bad things about Hu Zongnan, Wang Huanzhi admired He Daru a little bit, "Love for the old" is a beautiful character, at least in Wang Huanzhi's eyes......

"Wang Junza, when will my troops be able to go to war? The brothers are fighting against the water by the river in order to fight against Little Japan, but the commander has been engaged in some propaganda work for the past two days, and he is really in a hurry! There is also the question of the establishment...... "After He Daru finished coughing, he raised new questions, these are not what Wang Huanzhi, the deputy army commander, can answer, Wang Huanzhi pointed to the Fan Jie, who was preaching to He Daru's subordinates not far away about the treatment and reward and punishment methods of the 99th Army, indicating that He Daru had asked the wrong person.

He Daru thanked Wang Huanzhi and then walked towards Fan Jie, Fan Jie, who was standing on the stage to preach, noticed He Daru from afar, so he pulled an officer of the Political Department of the 99th Army to continue his work, and he himself turned around and went backstage, and then came to He Daru.

He Daru didn't have time to say hello to the senator, but Fan Jie opened his mouth first, the words of the person who drank German ink were different, Fan Jie took the initiative to praise He Daru's behavior of "abandoning the dark and turning to the light", and then told He Daru that Huang Haoran merged all the old departments of the 1st Army and handed them over to He Daru, and for the time being, they were organized into the special service group directly under the 99th Army.

Good boy! A regiment of more than 10,000 people! It is estimated that there will never be a team of the same number in the whole of China, He Daru thought at the beginning that Huang Haoran would scatter all the officers and soldiers of the original 1st Army and supplement them to all the departments of the 99th Army, and his best plan was just to keep the two regiments he brought over, and now Huang Haoran not only did not move He Daru's two regiments, but also handed over all the officers and soldiers of the 32nd Division to him, saying that he was not surprised that it was purely a lie.

Fan Jie looked at He Daru who stared at him with wide eyes, he could fully understand He Daru's mood now, and the opinions of the more than 10,000 people in the 1st Army to break up and supplement the various departments Fan Jie also mentioned it, but Huang Haoran did not adopt Fan Jie's opinion in order to take care of the emotions of these officers and soldiers and maintain their combat effectiveness, so He Daru's spy group has now suddenly become the third largest force in the 99th Army after the 99th Division and the 139th Division, He Daru was completely moved, and his relationship with the 99th Army was much closer at this moment!

He Daru, who came back to his senses, told Fan Jie that he and his spy group would definitely kill more devils and repay Commander Huang for his kindness!

This is exactly the effect that Huang Haoran wants! What Huang Haoran wants is an army that can fight, not a group of stragglers who have no spirit and spirit! Now, under the command of He Daru, this newly established special service regiment will soon be able to enter into combat, and this will be a huge supplement to the Nanjing garrison, which has suffered huge losses in the past few days......

In front of Niushou Mountain, the headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army

Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu constantly measured the distance between Niushou Mountain and Nanjing on the map, his 6th Division has now touched the south gate of Nanjing, behind Niushou Mountain is the Tiexin Bridge and Yuhuatai, the Zhonghua Gate Tower and the current position of Gu Shoufu is only a dozen kilometers away, more importantly, the Nanjing garrison does not have any permanent fortifications between Niushou Mountain and Yuhuatai, and the 6th Division can come to Nanjing as long as it passes Niushou Mountain! This is the honor that Gu Shoufu has longed for for a long time!

The 114th Division and the 18th Division did not affect Tani's ambitions, and his 6th Division fought steadily all the way here, and Tani believed that his division would be the first Great Japanese Imperial Army in the 10th Army to reach out to the Ming City Wall!

Niushou Mountain will be the last stumbling block for the 6th Division to advance into Nanjing! Tani decided to step over the corpses of the Chinese defenders!

The Nanjing garrison troops guarding Niushou Mountain are a part of the 139th Division of the 99th Army, the location of Niushou Mountain is very important, it is not only the last solid barrier of the south gate of Nanjing, but also the forefront of the riverside corridor of the Nanjing Garrison, Wang Shankui put his 139th Division in Niushou Mountain, its good intentions can be seen, Niushou Mountain in hand, Zhonghua Gate is very safe, and the riverside passage to Wuhu will also remain unblocked, if Niushou Mountain is lost, not only the Japanese army can attack the Yuhuatai area at high speed, Moreover, the riverside corridor will also be under the fire of the Japanese army, which is a matter of life and death for the Nanjing garrison, Wang Shankui reported to Huang Haoran as soon as possible.

Received a telegram from Wang Shankui, Huang Haoran left the newly established 99th Army Special Service Regiment and returned to his city defense headquarters, because the troops in Nanjing City have almost been emptied, so He Daru's special mission is now to be responsible for the garrison of Nanjing City together with several regiments of the military police, Huo Shouyi's 112th Division remnants were reduced into a regiment and went to Wulong Mountain, Xu Yuanquan's 10th Army was replaced to support Shen Laoer's 99th Division, although the battle situation in the east of the city was favorable to the Japanese army, but the Nanjing Garrison was not too at a disadvantage, Huang Haoran's attention began to shift to the Niushou Mountain area, Gu Shoufu's knife was ruthless enough! If he is stabbed, the Nanjing garrison will really break his muscles and bones!

Niushou Mountain must not be lost! Wang Shankui, Wang Shankui! It's up to you this time!

The troops placed in the Niushou Mountain Mountains by Wang Shankui are Li Yuhe's 539 Regiment and Guo Tianchang's 541 Regiment, Wang Shankui, who has fought with Gu Shoufu, does not dare to underestimate the 6th Division, and Gu Shoufu's division in Matsui Shigen's Left Route Army is the most combative, and the Teaching Corps and the 139th Division have all taken turns to fight with the 6th Division, but they have not been able to take advantage, and now there is no artillery to help, Wang Shankui can only use heavy troops to guard the Niushou Mountain Mountains.

Since it is called Niushou Mountain Mountain, that is to say, Niushou Mountain is not a lonely mountain, Niushou Mountain is a hilly area between the Yangtze River and the Qinhuai River, composed of Niushou Mountain, Zutang Mountain, East and West Tianmu Ridge, Yinlong Mountain and many other large and small mountains, with a total area of 14,000 acres, the Niushou Mountain area is full of peaks and peaks, strange rocks are craggy, among which the highest altitude of Niushou Mountain, it is only about 10 kilometers away from Zhonghua Gate, it is a low mountain with an altitude of only 240 meters. It is named for its most prominent twin peaks, which resemble a pair of horns on the head of a bull.

Niushou Mountain is made by heaven, and the natural scenery is excellent. In the spring of March, the forest cultivates bamboo, and the peach blossoms compete for beauty; At dusk, the twilight is vast, the clouds are steaming, and the "ox head smoke gang" is intoxicating. It is as famous as Qixia Mountain, known as "Spring Ox Head, Autumn Qixia" said, "Spring Trip Ox Head" is one of the customs of Nanjing people, Niushou Mountain is full of peach trees, the peach blossoms are full of peach blossoms in the spring and March, and there are a large number of white hydrangeas dotted in the meantime, which is indescribably beautiful. At this time of year, the citizens of Nanjing come out to watch the peach blossoms, and the grand occasion is comparable to the ordinary festival.

But now, this picturesque mountainous area is about to usher in the baptism of blood and fire, stay in the highest place of Zutang Mountain, the head of the 541st Regiment Guo Tianchang leaned under a big tree and quietly looked at the village at the foot of the mountain, this village is called Shijiawa, now there is no population at all, Guo Tuan Commander put a platoon in the village, the task of this platoon is to detonate the explosives buried in the road when the Japanese brigade drove over, there is a road at the foot of several mountains in the Niushou Mountain Mountains, this road runs through the Niushou Mountain Mountains, If you want to stop the devils here, you have to blow up the highway first.

Li Yuhe, the commander of the 539th Regiment, was very opposed to Guo Tianchang's plan, Li Yuhe felt that the road should be destroyed as soon as possible, so as to trap the 6th Division in the mountainous area of Niushou Mountain, and Guo Tianchang insisted on waiting for the devil to show up before blowing up the road, his reason was that he was worried that the little devil would not see the road and choose to go around the mountain, so he could not form a situation of attacking from both sides.

Li Yuhe, who couldn't convince Guo Tianchang, blew up the section of the road in his defense area, and pushed a large number of rocks down, as long as the exit was blocked, even if something went wrong on the side of the 541st regiment, it would not be able to miss a major event, and Li Yuhe still liked to be conservative.

When the avant-garde troops of the 6th Division saw the intact road in the Niushou Mountain Mountains, not to mention how surprised they were, the commander of the 6th Cavalry Wing, Inoki Jintaisa, stopped advancing at the entrance to the mountainous area, he reported this strange phenomenon to the division commander Gu Shoufu, after reading the telegram from the captain of the Inoki Wing, Gu Shoufu showed a contemptuous smile, and the Nanjing Garrison had been fighting for many days, he had basically adapted to the tactics of the Nanjing Garrison, there must be a trap waiting for his 6th Division at the end of such an intact road, Gu Shoufu asked his chief of staff, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, to ask the air force for a reconnaissance plane, and it didn't take long for two Japanese reconnaissance planes with sun flags to rush to the Niushoushan Mountains, and then began to lower the altitude to take pictures, the second half of the mountain road destroyed by the 539th Regiment was exposed in front of the devil reconnaissance plane, Guo Tianchang on the top of Zutang Mountain sighed, and then notified the sappers hiding in Shijiawa to detonate the explosives, since the Japanese already knew that there was an ambush on the mountain, the explosives on the road would not be useful, However, Guo Tianchang, the platoon of Shi Jiawa, did not move in the end, and Guo Tianchang planned to let the 541 regiment fire the first shot to encircle Niushou Mountain in Shi Jiawa.

Looking at the Japanese reconnaissance planes hovering in the sky and refusing to leave, the officers of the 541 Regiment immediately organized machine gunners to pick up their machine guns and wanted to open fire, Guo Tianchang immediately stopped such an impulsive behavior, not to mention whether they could knock out the Japanese reconnaissance planes, even if the intensity of the fire was exposed, it was very bad, the Chinese artillery on the Nanjing battlefield had run out of food, and the various units of the Nanjing Garrison now only had some mortars and infantry guns and grenadiers captured from the Japanese army. Guo Tianchang didn't want to waste bullets to provoke the Japanese bombers and heavy artillery, so it was best to keep a low profile before seeing the vanguard of the 6th Division.

In order to lure the Chinese troops on the mountain to open fire, the Japanese reconnaissance planes deliberately dived and shuttled through the valley several times, but they never heard a single gunshot, and the angry Japanese pilots began to strafe indiscriminately with the machine guns on the planes, and it was not until the bullets were fired that the two Japanese reconnaissance planes turned around and turned back.

The officers and men of the 539th and 541st regiments hid under big trees or in bunkers and gritted their teeth at these winged Japanese bandits, and they could only unleash their anger on the incoming 6th Division.

Gu Shoufu was very satisfied with the reconnaissance effect of the air force, and the Nanjing garrison detonated the explosives buried on the road in advance under the pressure of the air force, which saved the 6th Division a lot of time, and Gu Shoufu now did not have to order his artillery wing to open the way with precious shells, so that the 6th Division would have more shells to attack the fortifications, and good steel should be used on the blade.

The vanguard of entering the Niushou Mountain Mountains will be the 15th Infantry Wing of Kanda Zhengzhong Daisa, the cavalry is not suitable for attacking fortified positions, and those hills must be heavily guarded by the Nanjing garrison, and the infantry is more suitable for doing such a thing.

The commander of the 6th Cavalry Wing, Inoki Kindaisa, who received the order, gave way to the 15th Infantry Wing of Kanda Masasa to give way to the attack, and Captain Inoki also specially allocated a small group of cavalry to Kanda Masa Daisa, which could make the cordon of the 15th Infantry Wing farther, so as to shorten the warning time.

The 6th Division is very united, Lieutenant General Tani Toshio is a very good division commander, his troops pay great attention to the cooperation between various arms, and the relationship between the superior and subordinate officers is also very harmonious, Kumamoto Division is the elite of the Japanese Army!

Kanda Masa Daisa sent two teams of sharp soldiers, this was his temptation, dozens of Japanese soldiers were divided into two combat teams, a triangular formation of three, each devil soldier was responsible for a 120-degree area, they moved slowly back to back.

Behind the grass and trees, Chinese bullets may fly out at any time, and on the Nanjing battlefield, the risk of serving as a top soldier is almost comparable to that of a death squad, and when this mountain road is completed, none of these dozen Japanese troops will be left.

A few devil soldiers who walked in the front gradually approached Shi Jiawa, they became interested in the quiet village, two groups of three people walked to the entrance of the village with 38 big covers, and the platoon commander of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the 541st Regiment who was hiding in a mud house waved his hand to his subordinates, which was a gesture to prepare for battle.

Platoon Commander Shi's soldiers slowly pulled the bolts of their guns, and their movements were very light, as if they were afraid of scaring away a few little devils at the entrance of the village.

Meng Er's position was very close to the platoon commander Shi, and he whispered to his platoon commander: "It's only 6!" A little too little! It's not enough points! Platoon leader! This is your home place, which do you say let me fight? I promise to put you down, if you can't hit the head, it's not a good job......"

"Be quiet! Can't show that you can stand it? Alarmed little Japan, I shot you with one shot! ”

Platoon Commander Shi didn't even turn his head, and directly taught Meng Er stunned, Meng Er was stunned and stuck out his tongue, made a grimace at Platoon Commander Shi's back, and then began to practice aiming with the devils at the entrance of the village.

Coincidentally, the village where the platoon commander Shi was ambushed with his troops was called Shi Jiawa, and the company commander decided to be the commander of the platoon when the general was selected, and said casually: "Since it is your own village, I will hand it over to you......

Meng Erstunned was ridiculing this matter just now, but Meng Erstunned didn't catch up with Platoon Commander Shi when he was in a good mood.

6 pcs... It's a little too little...... Platoon Commander Shi was also not very satisfied with the number of devils at the entrance of the village, and finally got a position so close to the devils, so these few little devils came, which really made Platoon Commander Shi feel panicked.

I can only settle for it...... Aren't mosquito legs also meat?

Platoon Commander Shi gently opened the safety of the Mauser pistol......
