6.52 The 99th Division entered the battle

When the joint forces set off, the attack of the Japanese 35th Brigade on the 78th Division had reached a white-hot level, and the 124th Wing Wing Commander Yoshimatsu Nakasa Okai admired the smoke and fire on the position of the 78th Division opposite from the telescope, and just now the division commander Lieutenant General Sadao Ushijima asked the 35th Brigade for air support, and seven or eight belated bombers left this engagement area after dropping more than a dozen tons of bombs on the head of the 78th Division, and the Chinese position was already a sea of fire, However, the captain of the small world Fangsong Wing knew that there must be Chinese alive under the bottom of that fire sea, and they were waiting for the 124th Wing to attack again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After several hours of fighting, the captain of the small world Fangsong Wing has figured out the tactics of the 78th Division, this Chinese army that has just joined the Nanjing battlefield is more neat than other Chinese armies in terms of personnel, but the combat effectiveness is not outstanding, the 78th Division is relatively skilled in using its light and heavy weapons, which shows that Hu Zongnan did spend a lot of money on the 1st Army, but the 78th Division has a common weakness like other Central Army, That is, as long as the 124th Wing can enter the 30-meter area of the 78th Division, the Chinese will become obviously panicked, so it seems that the 78th Division is far inferior in spirit and will to the 124th Wing of the captain of the small world Fangsong Wing.

Wing Captain Yoshimatsu felt that his wing had been delayed in front of the 78th Division for too long, and he didn't want to spend his elite Imperial soldiers in such a pointless battle.

Wing Captain Fangsong of the small world is a rare rational faction in the Japanese army, he feels that the Central China Dispatch Army should not calculate the gains and losses outside Nanjing, instead of fighting with the Chinese in this way it is better to concentrate troops to break through a little and go straight to Nanjing, according to the understanding of the captain of the small world Fangsong Wing on the Nanjing government, as long as the Japanese army conquers Nanjing, it is almost time for the Chinese to bow their heads and admit defeat, and the next thing Japan needs to do is to knock China fiercely at the negotiating table, China is too big, there are countless good things, This time, Japan will probably be able to set a new record.

However, the tragedy of the 114th Division led to a change in the operational guiding ideology of the Central China Dispatch Army, and the generals of the military headquarters shouted that Commander Matsui Ishine would be disgraced on the battlefield in Nanjing, and in order to meet the demands of these short-sighted senior army officers, Matsui Ishine could only try his best to find the main force of the Nanjing Garrison and fight a decisive battle with it while maintaining the march to Nanjing......

Wing Captain Fangsong let out a sigh, but he quickly adjusted his mood, and the two squadrons were his first greeting gift to the 78th Division this morning.

Zhang Jie, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 532nd Regiment, led his troops to the most fiercely fought position of the 78th Division, and when the vanguard of the devils had already entered the trenches, Zhang Jie shouted, "Kill!" "He took his 1st battalion and pounced, the sudden killing of the 1st battalion caught the Japanese army off guard, and was so rushed by Zhang Jie's troops, the Japanese army no longer had the opportunity to occupy a position, and could only retreat helplessly, the captain of the small world Fangsong smacked his lips regretfully, if only the Chinese reinforcements arrived twenty minutes late, but unfortunately, there was no if on the battlefield.

The captain of the small world Fangsong Wing was still satisfied with the first wave of attacks after dawn, after a few hours of fighting before dawn, the 78th Division was already at the end of the strong capture, if it hadn't been for the reinforcements just now, the 124th Wing had almost taken the forward position of the 78th Division after only two squadrons, and the captain of the Xiaojie Fangsong Wing also noticed that the reinforcements sent by the 78th Division were only about half a regiment, and Li Tiejun should not have any reserves in his hands, and it seemed that this morning's attack should be a very easy operation.

Let's go up to Ryo Yoshida's brigade this time! The artillery preparation was set for fifteen minutes, and the number of artillery shells was running out, so we had to leave some of the city walls to deal with Nanjing......

Zhang Jie immediately sent a report to Shen Yuanlong after repelling the Japanese attack, a regiment on the forward position of the 78th Division has more than 300 people left who escaped with casualties, and now the 1st Battalion has become the main combat force on the position, from the number of devils who retreated just now, it can be inferred that the Japanese army should not invest less than two squadrons in the next wave of attacks, and if there are more chariots to press the formation, it will be a very troublesome situation.

The consensus built by the 78th Division and the trenches have been bombed by the Japanese army can't be distinguished, Zhang Jie led the soldiers to pick up the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and pile them on the trenches, and a soldier of the 78th Division asked Zhang Jie puzzled: "Sir, are you still helping the devil collect the corpse?" ”

Zhang Jie wiped his face with his cuffs, but his face was covered with the blood of the devils on his sleeves, he pointed to the pile of devil corpses in front of him and said: "The little devils blew up our fortifications, and we will use their corpses to mend them, you see!" It's very easy to use! ”

After speaking, Zhang Jie folded up the head and feet of a devil corpse and stuffed it into a gap in the trench, just plugging the gap blown out by the devil bomb, and then Zhang Jie pulled a machine gunner and motioned for a Czech to be erected here.

The little soldier of the 78th Division was dumbfounded, Zhang Jie smiled at the little soldier, and then bared his teeth and said to the little soldier: "You can only use the corpse of a little devil to do this kind of thing, and you are not allowed to touch your brother's body!" You'll be shot from behind! ”

The soldiers of the 78th Division were frightened by Zhang Jie and nodded again and again, in fact, where would he use the corpses of his own people to build fortifications, it was the first time he saw the matter of using the corpses of devils to fill holes! However, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the 99th Division, Zhang Jie's approach is logical, the corpse of the little devil should be used for waste! The machine gunner of the 1st Battalion, who put the Czech style on the devil's corpse, looked down at the head of the devil's corpse and went straight to his crotch, so he squatted down and twisted the devil's head 180 degrees, and then he clapped his palms with satisfaction and stood up and continued to fiddle with the machine gun, and several soldiers of the 78th Division next to him looked stupid! They exchanged glances in horror, and then unanimously decided to keep some distance from the soldiers of the 99th Division, these people can't be messed with!

"Battalion commander! The devil is up again! ......" Zhang Jie, who was checking everywhere in the trenches, suddenly heard such a shout, and he immediately ran to a better observation position to look in front of the position, and sure enough, he saw a large number of Japanese soldiers howling and charging towards the position!

Odd! Why did the devil come up without a cannon this time, this is not in accordance with the rules? Zhang Jie was making fun of the devil when suddenly there was a sound of cannonballs crossing the sky in the sky, and he immediately understood that the devil's attack just now was a feint, the purpose was to lure the Chinese troops on the position out of the anti-artillery hole, and then use artillery fire to kill and injure!

Dog stuff! Sure enough, I still can't forget the old tricks! The devil must not have thought that there was no anti-artillery hole on the position of the 1st battalion that could still be used, and this time the devil's cleverness was blind!

Zhang Jie turned around and jumped into the trench and shouted loudly: "Anti-artillery!" "The officers and men of the 1st Battalion and the 78th Division immediately went into action, and the trenches were full of officers and soldiers looking for hiding places.

When the first shell of the Japanese army fell on the position and exploded, the officers and men of the 1st Battalion would immediately lie down or retreat into the corner regardless of whether they found a hiding place or not, while the officers and men of the 78th Division were still running frantically, and they would not stop until they found a place they thought was safe, but in fact, many people in the 78th Division died on the way to find a safe place.

Zhang Jie and the officers and men of the 1st Battalion tried to hold or stop the suicide of the officers and men of the 78th Division more than once, but a considerable part of the officers and men of the 78th Division who were pulled or knocked down by them would struggle to get up again and continue to run, and their persistence greatly increased the lethality of the Japanese artillery fire!

Zhang Jie saw with his own eyes that a lieutenant colonel officer of the 78th Division was directly hit by a large-caliber shell, and the lieutenant colonel officer was torn into countless pieces in an instant, scattering like raindrops, and several pieces fell in front of Zhang Jie......

If it was a new army, it would probably have been destroyed under such shelling, but fortunately, the 99th Division was not a new army, and neither was the 78th Division...... The impact of the huge casualties on the officers and soldiers on the position was left behind in the face of the subsequent attack of the Japanese army, and the light and heavy machine guns opened fire together, coupled with the mortars and grenadiers equipped with the 1st battalion, the dozen devils of Yoshida Ryū's brigade rushed to the front immediately met the king of Hades, and from the sudden crisp gunfire on the Chinese defenders' position, Yoshida Ryo Shaoza felt that something was wrong, this new Chinese defender was much stronger than the previous defenders, The position where Yoshida Ryo was standing was at least four or five hundred meters away from the Chinese position, but he saw with his own eyes that several junior officers standing not far in front of him were shot in the head by Chinese riflemen and fell to the sky, such a level of shooting is not something ordinary Chinese troops can have!

His own brigade would not be so lucky to meet the Chinese's trump card here - the 99th Army, right?

The offensive had begun, and even the toughest opponent Yoshida's brigade had to pounce, and behind them, Captain Yoshimatsu Kokai was eyeing the battle, and Yoshida Ryo called Lieutenant Suzuki, who needed a brave officer to fight his way.

Lieutenant Suzuki is not a fool, although Yoshida Ryo Shozo said a lot of impassioned words to him, Lieutenant Suzuki still did not volunteer to fight, he looked at the Chinese military position in the distance, the Chinese fire is really fierce, and a few minutes ago Lieutenant Suzuki also noticed that with a small group of Chinese disappeared into a forest in front of the left, he observed with a telescope for a long time and did not gain anything, the branches and leaves of the forest were too lush Lieutenant Suzuki to see clearly, now Yoshida Ryo Junior Zo wants Lieutenant Suzuki to rush up with a death squad, To be honest, Lieutenant Suzuki was reluctant in his heart.

But Yoshida Ryo Shaosa said very decisively, and he said loudly to Lieutenant Suzuki: "Suzuki-kun! I need you to wipe out the Chinese on the other side! The death squad is our best bet right now! ”

"Your Excellency, Captain!" Lieutenant Suzuki was not going to accept such a fate, he pointed to the forest in front of him on the left and said to Ryo Yoshida: "There are Chinese ambushes there, and if they are attacked from both sides, the sacrifice of the death squad will become very meaningless!" ”

Yoshida Ryo Shaosa felt that Lieutenant Suzuki was an act of cowardice, and he roared angrily: "Is there no danger or fighting?" There aren't many people hidden in that woods! I would order the mortars to shoot at that wood! All you have to do is take the opposite position! The main force of the wing is going to step through here! I hope we can be the first troops to storm Nanjing! Don't you want this honor? Suzuki-kun! ”

What else can Lieutenant Suzuki say? He turned around and found his squadron, and then picked out dozens of veterans from it to form a death squad, Lieutenant Suzuki knotted the white cloth belt to his chest, then picked up a three-eight cover with a bayonet on it, and shouted: "Follow me!" Kill those Shina people! ”

Lieutenant Suzuki's subordinates obeyed and followed the death squad, and they began to withdraw bullets, which was required in the Japanese infantry drill code, mainly because the penetration of the Type 38 rifle was too strong, and it was easy to hit the Japanese soldiers behind the target if they fired during hand-to-hand combat, so the withdrawal of bullets became a necessary preparation for the Japanese army before charging.

With a crisp "Kara" sound, the golden long-shelled bullet was thrown out of the magazine of the Type 38 rifle, and then fell into the dirt on the ground, and then was stepped on by a pair of leather shoes, and the attack of the Suzuki squadron began!

Zhang Jie was worried that the depth of the position was not enough, so he sent the 2nd company commander Zhang Tongfu to run into the woods as an ambush, so that he could use crossfire to kill and injure the devils, and the 2nd company commander Zhang Tongfu quickly occupied the favorable terrain and opened the position, and they were waiting for the opportunity.

Zhang Jie specially transferred 8 Czechs to Zhang Tongfu, mainly to facilitate the mobility of this small unit, and Makqin, who was originally assigned to this platoon, was handed over to other platoons, and now Zhang Tongfu's subordinates have loaded their magazines and are waiting for Zhang Tongfu's order......

The death squad led by Lieutenant Suzuki fought very frantically, and in order to fulfill Yoshida Ryo Shaosa's request, the devils of the death squad also hung grenades on their bodies, and the Japanese military tradition of "human bullet" attacks was once again given room to play.

In order to avoid being hit by the "human bullets" accidentally injured their companions, Lieutenant Suzuki's daredevils kept a relatively long distance between them, Zhang Jie noticed this group of devils for the same squad, he quickly transferred two Makqin blocked the road of the Suzuki squadron's advance, and was hit by the 1st Battalion after several "human bullets" were blown up one after another, Lieutenant Suzuki ordered his death squad to lie down, in the face of such ferocious machine gun fire, no matter what kind of "human bullets" could not rush over.

Once the target cannot be approached, the "man-bomb" tactic will lose its meaning, and these "man-bombs" that should have opened a bloody path for the follow-up troops have now become mines buried by the Chinese army at the front of the position!

The death squad couldn't rush up, and the main force of the Suzuki squadron was pressed even further, and seeing that the Suzuki squadron was in trouble, Yoshida Ryo Shaosa began to become furious!

At this time, the cooperation of artillery is too much needed! Damn artillery! They are always nowhere to be found when they are needed!

Yoshida Ryo Shozo rushed out with his sword, he wanted to teach those damned artillerymen a lesson!

Along the way, he saw a lot of wounded Japanese soldiers who had withdrawn from the line of fire, and Nanjing in December had entered winter, and the wounded Japanese soldiers shivered in the cold wind, and a few wails could be heard from time to time.

Yoshida Ryo Shaozo walked past these wounded soldiers without saying a word with a dark face, and when he saw Yoshida Ryo Shaoza, some of the wounded soldiers struggled to get up and salute, and the wailing wounded soldiers also quickly stopped talking.

It would not be good if he provoked the "butcher" of Yoshida Ryo Shaoza, and Yoshida Ryo Shaozo's reputation in the 124 Wing has not been very good.

When Yoshida Ryo Shaosa arrived at the mortar squadron, the captain of the 22nd Cavalry Brigade Koike Shoji Nakasa was also there, Yoshida Ryo Shaosa didn't see Koike Shoji Nakasa at first, he grabbed the mortar squadron leader Captain Kowa Ryu by the collar and shouted loudly: "Captain Kowa Ryu!" My soldiers are bleeding! I need you to blast me a bloody path with artillery fire at once! I can't wait any longer! Turn your cannon over now! ”

Standing next to him holding a telescope to observe the battle situation, the captain of the 22nd Cavalry Brigade Koike Shoji Nakasa frowned obviously, his 22nd Cavalry Brigade was fiercely attacked by the 32nd Division of the Nanjing Garrison, and the fool also knew that the 32nd Division wanted to move towards the 78th Division, and the brigade commander Hiratsuka Provincial Third Major General strictly ordered that the 32nd Division should never be allowed to pass, and the cavalry defended the infantry, such an order was also received for the first time, and in desperation, he could only order his cavalry to dismount and fight, but the cavalry is the cavalry, It must have been unprofessional to be an infantryman, so Koike Shoji Nakasa could only run to Captain Kowa-ryu's mortar squadron for help, and he hoped to hold out with the support of the mortar squadron until the moment when the 116th Wing detoured behind the 32nd Division.

I didn't expect to jump out of Yoshida Ryo Shaoza to stir up the situation, Koike Shoji Nakasa knew that once he left the mortar squadron's artillery fire, his cavalry would definitely not be able to block the 32nd Division opposite, so he would not allow Yoshida Ryo Shaozo to order the muzzle to be turned anyway!

"Ahem! Ryo Yoshida! There was a lot of pressure on my cavalry! As soon as the people break through the defense line of our brigade, they will directly attack your 124th Wing, and you will be attacked from the back! The first task of the artillery now is to help the cavalry hold off the 32nd Division! Your request cannot be met for the time being! ”

Yoshida Ryo Shaozo opened his eyes and turned around, when he saw that it was Koike Shoji Nakasa, he was obviously stunned, he did not expect that the cavalry brigade was also eyeing the mortar squadron, but he could not give up the fight for artillery, his brigade was at the most delicate moment, Lieutenant Suzuki's death squad was only a few tens of meters away from the Chinese's position, at this time, as long as a big chip was put on the scales, maybe victory was within reach!

And now the bargaining chip that Yoshida Ryo Shaoza needs is the mortar squadron!

Yoshida Ryo Shosa, deciding to ignore the fact that Koike Shoji Nakasa was of a higher rank than him and continue to enlist the support of artillery, he said loudly to Koike Shoji Nakasa:

"I was sent to the captain of the Xiaojie Fangsong Wing to conquer the Taoyuan forward position of the 78th Division, and the captain of the Xiaojie Fangsong Wing gave me a death order! If I can't take the front position of Taoyuan, I will die! Captain Shoji Koike, please forgive me for being rude! ”

After saying that, Yoshida Ryo Shaoza beckoned, and the soldiers behind him rushed up and directly aimed their guns at the squadron leader of the mortar squadron, Captain Kowa-ryu!

You! Ryo Yoshida! You bastard! "Koike Shoji Nakasa can only vent his anger with dirty words!

Lieutenant Suzuki, who had been languishing in the firing line for a long time, finally got the help of artillery fire......
