6.129 Absurd

The commander of the 3rd Cavalry Wing, Hoshi Zentaro Osa, rode his Oriental war horse into the city of Nanjing, and behind him, the Taiping Gate with the sun flag looked so gloomy, and the captain of the Wing Hoshi Zentaro was not carried away by this victory that went smoothly to the extreme, and used cavalry units in the streets and alleys of the city to pursue the Chinese infantry, even the craziest cavalry commander would not do this! It is more appropriate that such a task should be performed by infantry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

About half an hour after the 3rd Cavalry Wing captured the Taiping Gate, the commander of the 18th Infantry Wing, Ishii Kaho Osa, led his three infantry brigades to the outside of the city gate, and a cavalry wing captured a city gate? No matter how this news sounded, it was like false information, and it wasn't until Wing Captain Ishii Kaho saw the tall city gate that was still intact and the weapons and equipment that the 87th Division had lost all over the ground, that Wing Captain Ishii Kaho believed that the cavalry unit had created a miracle! He couldn't help but envy the good fortune of the co-captain of Hoshizentaro in his heart.

This is simply a battle achievement for nothing! How is it that the 18th United did not encounter such an empathetic opponent?

"Did you see Co-Captain Hoshizentaro? Let's go and congratulate that guy! And then crush the Chinese army in one fell swoop! Nanking! It will be where we make a name for ourselves! ”

Captain Ishii Kaho and Captain Hoshi Zentaro had a good personal relationship, and it only took a few seconds for his chagrin to be replaced by joy, Captain Ishii Kaho was really happy for his good friend, he ordered the troops to quickly enter the city through the Taiping Gate while looking for Captain Hoshi Zentaro, the Japanese troops of the 3rd Cavalry Wing now got off their horses and did infantry work, and people and horses were mixed together, and it became much more difficult to find someone.

The Japanese cavalry did not expect that they would make such a major battle achievement in Nanjing, these Japanese soldiers who had become a little lapped on their horses all day were frantically celebrating, the battle in the city had nothing to do with them, and when they stepped on the war horses again, that is, the moment when the Japanese army fully pursued the Nanjing garrison, the battle of Taipingmen made these Japanese cavalry very doubtful that the Chinese could escape from the city of Nanjing.

From Songhu to Nanjing, the Japanese troops of the 3rd Cavalry Wing felt that their opponents were significantly weakening, and if this trend continued, it seemed that the timetable for Japan's annexation of China could be brought forward.

"You're here! Lucky guy! The 9th Division has been stumbling at Guanghuamen for several days, and Gu Shoufu is also very difficult at Zhonghua Gate, but you, with just one cavalry wing, captured Taipingmen, and the division commander will definitely give you a big reward! Perhaps soon I will call you Your Excellency! ”

When Captain Kaho Ishii saw Captain Hoshizentaro, the short Osaka man was standing next to his horse posing for the army reporters to take pictures, Captain Ishii Kaho jumped up laughing and hugged his friend, and the army reporters just pressed the shutter at this time, so Captain Kaho Ishii walked into the photo of Captain Hoshizentaro in this way.

"Ishii-kun! The road to honor has just begun! My cavalry will only have a chance to play at the last moment, but you are different, the Chinese have been completely defeated, as long as your warriors catch up, I believe you will achieve a big victory in the first year! We're all going to be generals!"

Captain Hoshizentaro turned his head and saw that the person who came was Kaho Ishii, and immediately showed a happy look, originally according to the order of Lieutenant General Fujita Shin, the commander of the division, the task of the 3rd Cavalry Wing was only to sweep behind the infantry, and he thought that the cavalry would not play any role in the siege battle, and the Captain of the Wing Hoshi Zentaro took his wing to Taipingmen just to show his majesty, but when the 3rd Cavalry Wing arrived, Captain Hoshizentaro suddenly found that the defenders of Taipingmen and the Chinese troops withdrawn from Zhongshan actually had infighting, Realizing that this was a great opportunity, Captain Hoshi Zentaro did not hesitate, and he took advantage of the Chinese army's self-disarray.

There was too much luck in this result, and the 3rd Cavalry Wing at that time just happened to appear in a suitable position, in fact, if the other units of the Japanese army were replaced, the result would be the same, if it was replaced by the 18th Infantry Wing of Kaho Ishii, then the pursuit of the Chinese army could be carried out faster. Co-captain Hoshizentaro felt that fate seemed to have treated his friend Kaho Ishii a little badly.

So the captain of the Hoshi Zentaro co-captain was anxious to give the co-captain Ishii Kaho a suggestion, the fragility of the Chinese defenders of the Taiping Gate made the co-captain of Hoshi Zentaro remember it vividly, he felt that as long as the co-captain Ishii Kaho set off immediately, then his harvest was absolutely indispensable!

The reporter walked away with interest, and Captain Hoshi Zentaro told Captain Ishii Kaho how he had obtained the Taiping Gate and all the Chinese troops he had seen in disarray, and Captain Ishii Kaho couldn't help it anymore after hearing this, and he said goodbye to his good friend and took his 18th Wing into the streets of Nanjing.

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

When Huang Haoran got the news of the loss of Taipingmen, his mood had returned to calm. Since Shen Fazao has given up Zhongshan, the 87th Division must have to run away, it is not Huang Haoran who looked down on Shen Fazao, he concluded that this spineless guy did not dare to break through from the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army in the east, and the west is several city gates heavily guarded by the Nanjing garrison, with the experience of the 1st Army, Shen Fazao also did not dare to test Huang Haoran's attitude, the Zhonghua Gate in the south is in a fierce battle, and Shen Fazao will not go out of the city from here, since there is no way out of the east, west and south directions, Shen Fazao only has the last place to go......

To the north! Taking the city of Nanjing to the Zhongshan wharf, Huang Haoran blocked the news that the fleet left Nanjing, and Shen Fazao still thought that there were still ships waiting to transport the Nanjing garrison to cross the river by the Zhongshan wharf.

Snatching the ship and leaving Nanjing, this is the last way for the 87th Division and his Shen Fazao to live!

After the Zhongshan Gate was lost, Huang Haoran transferred the last recruit regiment stationed on the riverside to fight street battles in the area of Huangpu Road, and Japanese gunboats sailed by from time to time on the Xiaguan River, and only one military police regiment was responsible for guarding the long riverbank; if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese had not been able to salvage the sunken ships of the Jiangyin Fortress, the Japanese Navy's fleet would have already carried out a landing operation on the riverside.

The main force of the 13th Division appeared in Pukou on the other side of the Yangtze River in the early morning of the 29th, fortunately, Huang Haoran concentrated all the ships on the north bank of the Yangtze River in his own hands early, and the 13th Division had no tools to cross the Yangtze River and could only fire artillery across the Yangtze River into Nanjing City, Xiaguan District was originally a concentrated residential area for the poor population in Nanjing, most of the houses here were wooden structures, and the air was originally dry in winter, and the continuous shelling and bombardment of the Japanese army finally caused several fires, and burned the area around Xufu Lane. When Shen Fazao's 87th Division rushed to Rujiangmen, most of the 2nd Military Police Regiment stationed at this gate rushed to the fire point in the city to put out the fire, and the remaining two companies of officers and soldiers could not stop the thousands of officers and soldiers of the 87th Division.

Zhongshan Wharf, also known as Xiaguan Wharf, is a ferry terminal located on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Xiaguan District, Nanjing. The history of the construction of wharves on the Xiaguan River can be traced back to Baishibu, a military wharf established by the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the area of Tiger Mountain. When it came to the Southern Song Dynasty, there was one of the six crossings of the Yangtze River, Longwandu, which was the place where traffic was carried out. The modern ferry transportation is as late as the end of the Qing Dynasty, the second year of Xuantong, with the completion of the Tianjin-Pudong railway, by the Pukou Market Bureau in the private fund-raising, the route from Xiaguan to Pukou, called the "Guanpu line". In the 2nd year of the Republic of China, the Jinpu Railway Bureau established a ferry port office to take over the ferry, and the ferry business was transferred to the state-owned enterprise. On March 12, 1925, Mr. Sun Yat-sen died of illness in Beijing, and the afternoon before his death, he proposed to Soong Qingling, Wang Jingwei and others: "After my death, I can be buried at the foot of the Purple Mountain in Nanjing, because Nanjing is the place where the provisional government was established, so we must not forget the Xinhai Revolution." So in accordance with Sun Yat-sen's last wishes, his coffin was temporarily buried in Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, Beijing, and then buried in Nanjing after the mausoleum was completed.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's ceremony, the Nanjing authorities decided to build a wharf by the Xiaguan River to welcome Mr. Sun's coffin. The new wharf was completed on August 8, 1928 and was named the Capital Wharf of the Jinpu Railway. On May 26, 1929, Mr. Wang's coffin was transported south from Beiping along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and arrived at Nanjing Pukou Railway Station on May 28. The coffin was transferred to Pukou Wharf to board the ferry, escorted by warships to cross the Yangtze River, arrived at Xiaguan Wharf, and entered Nanjing City through Rujiang Gate. After the Feng'an ceremony was held, in order to commemorate Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the coffin was named "Zhongshan" everywhere it went, such as Zhongshan Gate, Zhongshan Bridge, Zhongshan Road, etc., and the Xiaguan Wharf where the coffin landed was also named Zhongshan Wharf.

The attached waiting room of Zhongshan Wharf was originally a bus station, due to the need for a large number of means of transportation during the Anti-Japanese War, this bus station was stopped as early as the end of July, and all the buses were transferred to the Songhu area to transport the troops to Shanghai to fight, since Wang Huanzhi transported several groups of citizens and houses in Nanjing City in Xiaguan, the Japanese Air Force took Zhongshan Wharf as the main target of their air raids, and the facilities of the bus station were wiped out in the bombing. An iron stop sign stands alone on the side of the road, and the route of the bus is vaguely written on it.

"How did you get to be like this? What about the troops guarding the docks? What about the people here? ”

The exceptionally quiet Zhongshan Wharf made Shen Fazao very uneasy, here, it should be full of people! Didn't Huang Haoran use this wharf to transport more than 100,000 people and a large number of supplies? What about the ship? What about people? You can't just let the Japanese blow up to the bottom of the river!

Chen Yiding, the deputy commander of the division, also saw that something was wrong, where the current Zhongshan Wharf still looked like it was in operation, and from afar you could see a big hole in the roof of the waiting room that had been drilled by bombs dropped by Japanese planes, and there was no need to look inside, it must be dead bodies all over the ground!

The escape path of the 87th Division has become a mass grave! The route to cross the river no longer exists, and the retreat route to Wuhan and Jiujiang has been cut off!

The sudden appearance of a large number of Chinese troops on the side of the Zhongshan dock made the Japanese gunboats on the Yangtze River tense their nerves, they did not know why the Nanjing garrison suddenly made such a big move on the riverside, the only thing the Japanese naval captains could be sure of was that these Chinese troops were not good!

So the guns on the Japanese gunboats began to speak, these small-tonnage warships could not be installed with large-caliber guns, so the lethal effect was very limited, the 87th Division after receiving a shell away from the Zhongshan dock by the river, the Japanese gunboats that lost their target could only stop firing.

"Master! We can't go by water! To the south, Huang Haoran's troops are all killed, if we are caught by Huang Haoran now, we will be shot on the spot! What to do! Throne! Our 87th Division can't just end up like this! ”

Liu Qixiong, the commander of the 260 Brigade, was the most pessimistic about the future, seeing that there was no hope of leaving Nanjing by water, Liu Qixiong immediately shouted, listening to his tone as if he was blaming Shen Fazao for not giving up Zhongshan, Liu Qixiong's attitude made Shen Fazao very unhappy, and he scolded angrily in his heart: "Why didn't anyone stand up and say these when Lao Tzu took you to escape for your life just now?" Now that I can't escape, I want Lao Tzu to carry the black cauldron? Lao Tzu is not that stupid! Death everyone! ”

Chen Yiding wanted to stand up and make a round, but the predicament faced by the 87th Division now really puzzled him, and in the end, Chen Yiding's mouth moved several times, but he never made a sound, the expression on his face was like a dead father, how ugly and ugly!

Shen Fazao lowered his heads one by one when he saw that his subordinates were like a group of prisoners who were about to be executed, if he didn't make up his mind, these people would become a plate of loose sand! Shen Fazao never dreamed that the dignified "Virtuous Mechanic" would fall to this point today, and he finally couldn't control his emotions and roared

"Enough! They're all playing dead! It's not time to cut off your head yet! Look at what you guys look like now! was frightened by Huang Haoran! ”

After all, Shen Fazao has been in the 87th Division for many years, and his words are still somewhat influential, and the officers of the 87th Division raised their heads and waited for Shen Fazao to speak, but at this moment Shen Fazao himself had no idea, in order not to let his subordinates notice, Shen Fazao paced with his hands behind his back.

"Otherwise, let's build a raft! Jiangxinzhou and Qianzhou are not far from here, so they should be able to drift over, no matter what, it's better than going back and fighting the Japanese, right? ”

Sun Tianfang, deputy commander of the 261st Brigade, didn't know which tendon was on the wrong line and actually came up with such a ridiculous idea, Shen Fazao was like grasping a life-saving straw when he heard it, and he shouted: "Okay! Good! Just build a bamboo raft! Then ask people to find some door panels nearby! Let's cross the river! ”

Chen Yiding cried when he heard it! He knew that Shen Fazao was in a hurry to go to the doctor! The Yangtze River is not a small ditch! The whirlpool in the center of the river can even swallow a small boat and cross the river with the door panel? Shen Fazao thought of it! If this is really done, the thousands of men and horses of the 87th Division will probably become water ghosts!

"Master! You can't be fooled! It's not too late to return to the army! Admit your mistake to Commander Huang, maybe, we can still save our lives! ”

Without waiting for Chen Yiding to speak, Liu Qixiong, the commander of the 260 Brigade, jumped out, Liu Qixiong, who didn't want to die, heard that Shen Fazao was going to take thousands of officers and soldiers to the river, and immediately became anxious, giving up Zhongshan was the decision of a few people in the 87th Division, no matter how ruthless the military law was, it couldn't kill all the officers of the 87th Division, right? If you go to build a bamboo raft to cross the river according to Sun Tianfang's words, wouldn't you be pulling everyone to accompany those people to the funeral!

Liu Qixiong decisively decided to give up Shen Fazao to save his life, if Shen Fazao really wants to cross the river, let him go, if there is a debtor, let Huang Haoran go to Shen Fazao! As soon as Shen Fazao died, the charge of abandoning Zhongshan by the 87th Division could be all deducted on his head, and Shen Fazao could be regarded as doing a good thing by killing one person to save a division.

There were several regiment commanders who had the same attitude as Liu Qixiong, Shen Fazao saw that his old subordinates jumped out to rebel one after another, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he said loudly: "If you don't want to go, find your own way to live!" Lao Tzu didn't ask Huang Haoran! Lao Tzu is not afraid of him! If you're willing to come with me, start preparing right away! ”

After saying that, Shen Fazao took Sun Tianfang and several officers to stand opposite Liu Qixiong, Chen Yiding understood that he could no longer waver, he glanced at Shen Fazao, and then walked over and stood on Liu Qixiong's side.

The officers and soldiers of the 87th Division were divided into two parts at Rehe Road, Chen Yiding took seventy percent of his troops to Huang Haoran, and Shen Fazao took the rest of the troops to start crossing the river.

After Chen Yiding walked for a while, he was still thinking about the officers and soldiers of the 87th Division by the river, he saw that there was a three-story small building on the side of the road that was still in good condition, so he took a few officers to climb to the roof of the small building to see Shen Fazao's crossing of the river, as a result, Chen Yiding saw many officers and soldiers of the 87th Division following Shen Fazao from the river, because most of these soldiers did not know water, they immediately began to panic when they went down to the river. The sound of struggle was terrifying and miserable, and the officers and soldiers in the back began to shake when they saw that the brothers who had gone into the water in front of them were so miserable......

After Sun Tianfang led people to tie two wooden rows with wires, he asked Shen Fazao to venture across the river with him. The wooden platoon can only accommodate four or five people, Sun Tianfang used a flat pole as an oar, Shen Fazao led the officers to make oars with their hands, forced the crossing to the north, and slowly drifted towards the center of the river, and there were floating corpses everywhere next to the wooden platoon. At this time, two Japanese planes suddenly flew to the river bank and began to dive and strafe, and the river bank suddenly screamed miserably, and the Japanese Navy gunboats in the distance also turned on their searchlights and told them to sail towards this section of the river, and the end of this absurd river crossing operation was already doomed to be a tragedy, Chen Yiding looked at the officers and soldiers of the 87th Division who were struggling in the river, and shed painful tears!

One will be incompetent! Tired of the three armies!

Shen Fazao, Sun Tianfang! You are sinners of the 87th Division!! (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.) )
