Chapter 90: After Dawn

6.90 After dawn

Lin Gensheng's eyes bit the Japanese tank, the distance between the three bean chariots is very tacit, 9 practiced the first wave of daredevils fell in front of the cross-machine gun fire of the three bean chariots, the second wave of daredevils absorbed the experience of the first failed attack, and there were a few grenadiers and machine gunners who re-emerged from the trench with cluster grenades, these people's task was to interfere with the sight of the Japanese tank machine gunners as much as possible, as long as the devil's vehicle-mounted machine gun appeared temporarily blind, Then the anti-tank men can stick it, and all that remains is to pull the strings and retreat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The commander of the devil chariot, who lost a chariot in the last attack, has already seen the idea of the 9th company, the three bean chariots cover each other very well, this wave of daredevils of the 9th company has tried several times, but they have never been able to get close to the Japanese chariots, a few grenades that exploded near the Japanese chariots have at best played a little deterrent role, and the machine gun bullets clanged on the iron sheet of the bean chariot as if it was hail, seeing that the Japanese infantry offensive in the distance was getting more and more urgent, Lin Gensheng was really anxious!

"Damn! Bundle me with grenades! Lao Tzu is going to clean up these Iron Kings in person! Lin Gensheng unbuttoned the cotton clothes on his body and threw them on the ground, and then reached out to the 2nd platoon commander next to him to ask for a cluster grenade, the 2nd platoon commander knew that the battalion commander and the regiment commander valued Lin Gensheng very much, and he didn't want Lin Gensheng to encounter accidents.

"Company commander! I'll bring a few more people up and try it! The people of the 9th Company are not dead yet, and it is not time for you, the commander, to make a move! After saying that, the 2nd platoon commander jumped out of the trench with a bundle of grenades and 3 fighters.

Although the commander of the Devil Tank saw the movement of the 2nd Platoon Commander, he did not dare to let the vehicle-mounted machine gun turn its muzzle to block it, because at this time, one grenade after another was exploding around the Bean Chariot, which was a smoke screen created by the Chinese army for the attack of the anti-tank fighters.

Second Lieutenant Arai, the commander of the No. 3 Bean Chariot, saw from the observation hole that his machine gunner knocked a Chinese anti-tank fighter to the ground with a shuttle bullet, but the Chinese anti-tank man did not seem to be dead, he was still crawling on the ground, Second Lieutenant Arai really wanted his tank to run over him, but he couldn't do it, because this would be equivalent to sending the entire tank to the dying Chinese anti-tanker, although the cluster grenade could not destroy the medium tank, but it was more than enough to deal with the Bean Chariot.

Second Lieutenant Arai sometimes wonders if his troops would be much better if they used the Type 89 medium tank, the Bean Chariot has been exhausted on the battlefield in Nanjing, when designing the Type 95 Chariot, the Japanese engineers considered the mobility of the Chariot more than the firepower and protection, the weapon of the Type 95 light Chariot is a Type 94 37mm gun and a 7.7mm Type 97 machine gun, although the speed of the Bean Chariot reached 45km/h, However, the weight of only seven tons makes the Type 95 light tank doomed to have no good armor, the thickest part of the Type 95 light tank armor is only 12mm, the thinnest part is 6mm, this kind of armor can only cope with machine gun bullets, almost any caliber of artillery can be invited out of the battlefield! Type 95 single turret is a big problem, the commander of the second lieutenant Arai also has to serve as a gunner and ammunition man at the same time, that is to say, second lieutenant Arai needs to command the tank at the same time when fighting, aim and fire the main gun and load, It's simply torturous! I'm afraid that only Japan will design such a tank!

The Type 95 light tank had a relatively pleasant time at the beginning of the Chinese battlefield, mainly because the Chinese army was hardly equipped with any decent anti-tank weapons, since joining the Nanjing battlefield, the good fortune of the bean tank seems to have come to an end, due to the fact that it fell into positional warfare, the high speed of the Type 95 light tank became a chicken rib, and the lack of armor and firepower began to be exposed more and more obvious! Not to mention the 37 anti-aircraft guns equipped by the Nanjing Garrison, even the 20mm anti-aircraft guns used by the air defense units of the Nanjing Garrison are capable of turning the Type 95 light combat vehicle into a pile of scrap metal! Due to the too fragile performance of the bean chariot on the Nanjing battlefield, Commander Matsui insisted that the bean chariot should not be allowed to participate in the first-line attack mission until 24 hours ago, on the grounds that in the face of the artillery fire of the Nanjing garrison, the bean chariots that were hit and caught fire one after another greatly affected the morale of the Japanese attacking troops! If it weren't for the fact that the supply of artillery shells to the Nanjing garrison had been cut off, I am afraid that Second Lieutenant Arai and his bean chariot would have to continue to bask in the sun in the rear......

The senior commander of the chariot unit attached great importance to this rare opportunity to attack, and the infantry also hoped that the chariot would be able to exert its might in front of the Nanjing garrison.

Stupid commanders! Look at the Chinese looking for opportunities like wolves around the bean chariot! Nanjing City is by no means something that can be taken by a few bean chariots!

Second Lieutenant Arai fired the shells in the 37mm gun with a complaint against his superiors, and he didn't have time to check what the gun had hit, and Second Lieutenant Arai only wanted to scare off the Chinese anti-tank fighters, but his goal was obviously not achieved.

"Front left! Pay attention to the front left! Damn it! Kill those two Chinese! What they were holding in their arms was not a firecracker! Strafing! We drove to the left side of car number 1 and it looked safer! ”

Ensign Arai was carrying the shells while watching the movement around the tank from the observation window of the turret, and the driver sitting below him answered "Hai" after the vehicle began to turn, and Second Lieutenant Arai wanted to take another look at the wounded Chinese anti-tank man just now, and he suddenly found that there was nothing on the ground! That Chinese is gone!

"Heavy pay attention to the right rear of the tank! There may be Chinese there! Accelerate Acceleration! Get out of this dangerous area! We need to form a crossfire with car No. 1! ”

"Boom! .....”

A muffled sound came from the back of Lieutenant Arai's head, this sound represented someone climbing on his bean chariot, the Type 95 light tank is called the bean chariot because of its small size, the height of the whole vehicle is only 2.28 meters, and the Chinese soldiers can easily climb up.

"Accelerate! Continuous steering! Throw the Chinese off! ”

There is no viewing window at the rear of the turret, and Ensign Arai cannot see the situation on the back of the tank, but he can imagine that the Chinese anti-tank man must be looking for a place where he can place the cluster grenade, so a close explosion is also fatal to the Bean tank, as long as the Chinese pulls the grenade, Ensign Arai has to abandon the car and escape!

"Yaga!"

The driver immediately made a few quick stops and turns, and the good mobility of the bean chariot showed itself at this time, but Ensign Arai did not see anyone being thrown from the chariot, but kept hearing the sound of objects and the chariot chariot's armor colliding.

Unable to wait any longer, Second Lieutenant Arai decided to take a risk, intending to lift the roof of the chariot and give the Chinese soldier a shot with a pistol, which was the fastest solution he could think of to solve the problem.

The person who climbed on the bean chariot of Second Lieutenant Arai was the 2nd platoon commander, and after he left the trench, he and several of his men scattered to look for an opportunity to attack, and Ensign Arai's bean chariot was the most active among the three Type 95 light chariots, so the 2nd platoon commander chose his target.

Finally waited for the two grenades to explode in Lieutenant Arai's bean chariot, the 2nd platoon commander planned to rush up under the cover of the smoke screen to stuff the cluster grenade under the stomach of the devil chariot, but he didn't expect that he just stood up and was taken care of by the devil's vehicle-mounted machine gun, the 2nd platoon commander's left arm was also shot, seeing that there was no chance to start, the 2nd platoon commander decisively lay on the ground and pretended to be seriously injured, just at this time his two subordinates also rushed out to attract the attention of the devil chariot, and the 2nd platoon commander took advantage of the chaos to roll into a crater, Then he went around to the back of Lieutenant Arai's bean chariot and pounced.

Because Lieutenant Arai's bean chariot was in high-speed motion, the 2nd platoon commander could not use the method of "blowing up the belly of the car" to start, seeing that the target was about to escape from his eyes, the 2nd platoon commander jumped and flew on the bean chariot of Lieutenant Arai, and the 2nd platoon commander did not have time to think about where to hang the cluster grenade, and the bean chariot under him began to twist wildly, in order to avoid being thrown down, the 2nd platoon commander could only grab some protrusions on the body of the chariot, and the cluster grenade was hung on his waist

Lin Gensheng was sweating for the 2nd platoon commander in the trench, and several times the 2nd platoon leader was almost thrown down by the crazy writhing bean chariot, but there was no danger.

At this time, Lin Gensheng noticed that the hatch on the roof of the bean chariot moved, and he immediately realized that it was the little devil who wanted to come out and poison the 2nd platoon leader, Lin Gen immediately raised the rifle in his hand, and shouted at the same time: "Cover the 2nd platoon leader!" Don't let the devils crawl out of the turret! ”

Ensign Arai wisely pushed open the hatch cover on the top of the turret with his hand and probed, "Dangdangdang......" The dense bullets hit the hatch like hail, if Ensign Arai directly poked out of his body just now, he has now become a hornet's nest.

A few drops of cold sweat dripped from Ensign Arai's head......

"Turn! Veer! Let car No. 1 and car No. 3 see the Chinese in our car! Give their machine gunners a good firing range! ”

Now that he was suppressed by the fire of the Chinese army, Second Lieutenant Arai could only pin his hopes on the two remaining Bean chariots, and he was going to borrow someone else's machine gun to deprive his chariot from danger.

Second Lieutenant Arai's hand paid off, and the on-board machine guns of cars No. 1 and No. 3 rolled towards Second Lieutenant Arai's No. 2 car at the same time, and the Japanese-made bullets clanged on the Japanese-made tank, and the 2nd platoon commander also added several new wounds to his body.

"Your uncle! The 2 platoon commander has already attracted all the machine guns of the devils! Third echelon! Follow me! ”

Lin Gensheng rushed out of the trench with a cluster grenade, and behind the bean chariot, the machine gun fire points commanded by several squad and platoon commanders were no longer sound, and the Japanese infantry of the brigade were screaming and rushing up!

The last hour of the 9th Company has arrived!

Due to the existence of the 2nd platoon commander, the crossfire network of the bean chariot has been completely disorganized, Lin Gensheng and the third echelon easily broke through the machine gun blockade of the devil, seeing more and more Chinese soldiers surrounding, the devil's car No. 1 and car No. 3 were in a hurry, they left the No. 2 car of the second lieutenant Arai and began to reverse, and the second lieutenant of Arai who saw these situations in his eyes couldn't help but scold!

What bushido spirit? It's all a lie! In the face of such a dangerous situation, the invincible imperial army ran faster than rabbits! Second Lieutenant Arai shouted frantically: "Reverse! Charge into the ranks of the infantry! They will help us get rid of this Chinese!

"Boom!"

The first to explode and catch fire was the No. 3 tank, and the two soldiers of the 9th company pounced on it at the same time, one left and one right, and the Japanese machine gunners, who had completely lost their discipline, could only watch as the Chinese soldiers threw the smoking cluster grenade into the track of the bean tank, and with a loud bang, the No. 3 tank lay down, and it happened to block the retreat line of the No. 2 car of Second Lieutenant Arai!

"Bump ......!"

Second Lieutenant Arai's No. 2 car hit it with a butt, and the 2nd platoon commander on the chariot was thrown out with a force, and the whole person was hung on the left track side of the bean chariot, Lin Gensheng only found out at this time that the 2nd platoon commander had already tied his right hand with a belt on the handrail of the infantry carried by the bean chariot, so he was never thrown off.

The crazy bean chariot finally stopped, and the 2nd platoon commander reached out and pulled the grenade on his waist, he bowed and shouted: "Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu will be a good man again!" After saying this, the 2nd platoon leader closed his eyes.

There was a violent explosion on the side of Second Lieutenant Arai's No. 2 car, and the shock wave caused Second Lieutenant Arai to faint in the turret, and then the officers and soldiers of the 9th Company stuffed several bundles of grenades under the belly of the bean chariot, and the bean chariot that was hit again finally turned into a torch, and the tears in Lin Gensheng's eyes reflected in the firelight were so crystal clear......

"Fight with the devil! Avenge the 2 platoon commander! ”

After this bloody battle, there were less than twenty people left in the 9th Company, and Lin Gensheng led his remaining subordinates to charge the Japanese army! This is the last blood of the officers and men of the 9th Company!

At this time, behind Lin Gensheng, Ergou rushed to the position with reinforcements from the regiment, and the light and heavy machine guns began to shout again, and after discovering the arrival of the new force of the Chinese troops, the Japanese troops in front of the 9th company position finally retreated......

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

Jiangning, the headquarters of Wang Shankui's 139th Division.

In order to cooperate with Huang Haoran's retreat plan, the troops in the south of the city launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army, and the 139th Division and the Teaching Corps pushed their battle line directly to Dongshan Bridge, and Gu Shoufu once thought that the Nanjing Garrison was going to encircle his 6th Division, and desperately increased troops to Dongshanqiao, and the offensive in the Niushou Mountain area was automatically stopped, Wang Shankui did not let the troops on the mountain idle, and the two regiments deployed in the Niushou Mountain Mountain area of the 139th Division were very happy to make a cold shot. The Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain had to take the initiative to retreat two miles.

Seeing that the sky had begun to brighten, Wang Shankui received a new order from Huang Haoran, the content of this new order and the previous order made a 180-degree turn, Huang Haoran asked the troops in the south of the city to immediately stop the attack and retreat as soon as possible, Wang Shankui did not dare to have any opinions, but Qiu Qingquan of the teaching corps blew up.

Wang Shankui knew that Qiu Qingquan had fought for several hours before he finally surrounded a brigade of the 6th Division in Jishan Village, and now he had to teach the corps to throw away the duck in his mouth and retreat, Qiu Qingquan was definitely unwilling in his heart.

Sure enough, before Wang Shankui had time to send a telegram to Qiu Qingquan, the telegram from the teaching corps was sent first, and Huang Haoran had the grace to recommend Qiu Qingquan, so Qiu Qingquan was embarrassed to complain to Huang Haoran, and as a result, Wang Shankui, Huang Haoran's descendant, became the object of Qiu Qingquan's complaints.

In the telegram, Qiu Qingquan poured bitter water, and when Lishui surrounded the 114th Division, Qiu Qingquan let the commander of the 128th Brigade, Obaov, slip from his mouth, and now he finally has the opportunity to pull the capital, since he let him retreat? Isn't this using a knife to stab him Qiu Qingquan's heart?

Qiu Qingquan's problem has not yet been solved, Huang Haoran's telegram has been sent again, Huang Haoran is most concerned about the battle situation in the south of the city, as long as there are no problems with the riverside passage, Nanjing City has not become a Jedi, and whether Wang Shankui's troops can withdraw is the basis of the Nanjing Garrison's battle plan for the next stage.

Wang Huanzhi told Huang Haoran that the refugees at the Xiaguan wharf had been almost transported, and Rabe had mobilized a group of refugees from the security zone to arrive, and now Wang Huanzhi's only concern was the Japanese spies and traitors in Pukou, more than 100,000 people went ashore in Pukou overnight, and it was impossible to conceal it, and now every minute and second of the remaining time was considered an extra profit, and Wang Huanzhi assured Huang Haoran that as long as the Japanese bombers did not appear, the river crossing route would not stop.

Wang Shankui finally knew the purpose of last night's attack, although the situation of the Nanjing garrison was very dangerous now, but when he thought of the names of more than 100,000 people who had saved in one night, Wang Shankui felt that it was worth it! He believed that Qiu Qingquan would think the same way.

The various attacking units of the Nanjing garrison received new orders from Huang Haoran one after another, and the retreat methods of the division commanders of each army were also different, and Matsui Ishine soon received feedback from the divisions on the front line, and his division commanders reported that the Nanjing garrison around their troops had retreated invariably.

Was it the attack on Gaoloumen and Tang's camp that forced Huang Haoran to return to the army? Matsui Shigen felt that it was not so simple, the Nanjing garrison fought from early morning to dawn, and the number of casualties would definitely not be a small number, although the defenders of Gaoloumen and Tangjiaying fought very hard, but it did not reach the point of extreme danger, Huang Haoran only needed to draw one or two divisions from the attacking force to stabilize the defensive line, and there was no need to retreat on all fronts, and the Nanjing garrison's abnormal performance made Matsui Shigen's nerves highly tense again!

"Your Excellency, Commander! Shanghai Telegraph! ”

A young officer walked quickly in front of Matsui Shigen, and then handed over a telegram with urgency, Matsui Shigen took it and only read two lines before his face changed greatly!

"Bastard! Why is such important information only being sent now!? Cunning Huang Haoran! We were deceived by his bluff! He just wanted to evacuate the citizens of Nanjing! Order all divisions and regiments to pursue with all their might at all costs! Be sure to bite Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison!
