Chapter 688: The soldiers are divided into three ways
In the past few days, although the three columns of the 36th Group Army have not launched a large-scale attack on the little devils in Nanjing, all kinds of deployments have never stopped.\\
In the past few days, Zhang Yunfei asked the central authorities for instructions, and the central authorities ordered the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which was closest to Nanjing, to cooperate with the 36th Group Army to attack, with the 129th Division attacking from the south of Nanjing and the three major columns of the 36th Group Army attacking from the north.
The order of the central government has been issued for several days, and the main force of the 129th Division has begun to move to the south of Nanjing, and the main force of the 129th Division has now reached a huge number of 100,000 people, and the level of equipment is no worse than that of the little devils, many regiments are all Mauser 98K rifles, Czech light machine guns, and basically every infantry squad has a machine gun.
In terms of heavy weapons, the 129th Division is also equipped with several artillery regiments, although they are basically equipped with small-caliber mountain artillery and Type 92 infantry guns, or mortars, but there are a large number of them, and the entire 129th Division is equipped with hundreds of artillery pieces of various kinds, which has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with two or three years ago.
*****************
Chuzhou.
The headquarters in the city has been extremely busy, the three columns, ready to launch a large-scale attack on the little devil, with the Chuzhou airport put into use, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army with the attack is also ready, Zhang Yunfei gave the three columns an order to attack the little devil in an all-round way.
Joint Command.
The commanders of the three columns, Sun Chuanzhi, Wu Youqing, and Wang Daquan, are discussing the enemy's situation, and through the reconnaissance of the past few days, the deployment of the little devil's troops has been reconnoitred by everyone, and everyone is formulating a more detailed battle plan.
Starting tomorrow, at eight o'clock in the morning, the general offensive will be fiercely launched.
At present, the little devils in Jiangbei have also deployed tens of thousands of troops, and they are in Nanjing. There are even more little devils, there may be more than 100,000 little devils in the entire Nanjing, and in addition, there are many puppet troops.
The headquarters of Wang's puppet regime is located in the city of Nanjing. There are a lot of puppet troops near Nanjing. The number of puppet troops is conservatively estimated to be close to 100,000, but it is possible to be more.
In the entire city of Nanjing, and its periphery, there were quite a few Japanese puppet troops. In terms of total strength, the three columns of the 36th Group Army, plus the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, may not have an advantage in terms of total strength.
The three of them deliberated for a long time and formulated a detailed battle plan. One after another, orders were issued from here and sent to all the participating units.
The commander of the 36 th Group Army only formulated the general framework of the entire campaign, the general policy, and some specific operational details, which were still formulated by the three major columns in the light of the actual situation.
The next day.
The major participating units have already taken action, and the three major columns, divided into three routes, have begun to move closer to Nanjing. The first is the mechanized infantry regiments and tank regiments with a high degree of mechanization and strong mobility.
The direction of Chuzhou leading to Nanjing, the terrain is relatively flat, the only disadvantage is that there are many water networks and rivers, and only close to the suburbs of Nanjing can there be mountainous areas. But this did not affect the march of mechanized infantry regiments and tank regiments.
A large number of troops, moving closer in the direction of Nanjing, began to go smoothly, and after a few dozen kilometers of the march. began to encounter the little devils, and battles big and small began immediately.
One of the vanguards. The 10th Column Infantry First Division's Mechanized Infantry Regiment was advancing along the road, and everyone had already left Chuzhou for more than 30 or 40 kilometers.
Sure enough, less than two or three kilometers ahead, many soldiers found that a lot of blocking fortifications had been built on several small hills in front of them.
"Captain! Enemies appear ahead! ”
Many soldiers, seeing that there are a lot of Japanese puppet troops in front, the number may be two or three thousand, is blocking everyone's way, and if you want to continue to advance, you must defeat these Japanese puppet troops.
Not far ahead, is the Laoshan Mountain Range in the northwest suburbs of Nanjing, although the Laoshan Mountain Range is not deep in depth, but the length is dozens of kilometers, and the direction is basically parallel to the Yangtze River, forming a natural barrier.
These hills were some small hills on the periphery of the Laoshan Mountain Range, but the roads and railways that the soldiers relied on to advance all passed through the Laoshan Mountain Range, and the capture of these mountains became the first battle of everyone's large-scale attack on Nanjing.
Now, the three columns attacking the little devils in Nanjing are divided into three routes, the middle road is the 10th column, and the 10th column will attack the defense line of the little devils in the Laoshan Mountain Range, pass through the Laoshan Mountain Range, and reach the Pukou area on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
The Eastern Route Army was Sun Chuanzhi's 8th Column, and the 8th Column would pass through the east side of the Laoshan Mountains and reach the area of Yanjiang Town on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
The Western Route Army was Wu Youqing's 9th Column, which passed through the west side of the Laoshan Mountains and would eventually reach the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, this mechanized infantry regiment found the blocking position of the little devils in front of it, and did not retreat, but continued to advance, and several hills in front of it were not high, whether it was an off-road vehicle or an armored vehicle, they could rush up.
In addition, there were a large number of troops behind the mechanized infantry regiments, the tank regiments of the 1st Infantry Division were not far from the fighters and could be arrived immediately, in addition, the main forces of the 1st Infantry Division, those infantry regiments, and even artillery regiments, were also rushing over.
So, this mechanized infantry regiment decided to hit first-come, first-served.
The commander of the mechanized infantry regiment picked up the microphone and gave the combat order: "Comrades! Everyone increased their horsepower, rushed to the position of the little devils, and eliminated all the little devils. ”
"Rush, !!"
Quite a few fighters shouted, seventy or eighty off-road vehicles, thirty or forty armored personnel carriers, and began a large-scale attack.
**********************
Opposite side.
On the position of the Japanese puppet army, there is a regiment of the puppet army, in addition to a reinforced brigade of little devils, the little devils are very cunning, knowing that it is the 36th Group Army that fights with them, and the little devils will arrange the puppet army of this regiment, a total of nearly 2,000 puppet troops, on the forward position.
And the little devils themselves, a reinforced brigade, a total of more than a thousand little devils, are located behind this puppet army, and on the mountain, the little devils also built an artillery position.
The little devil's four Type 92 infantry guns and six mortars were ready at this time, and seeing a large number of combat vehicles of the fighters rushing straight over, the little devil artillery was ready to open fire.
The puppet army on the forward position, seeing these tanks that they have never seen before, and there are so many, these puppet troops are a little panicked.
"Tuanza! The 36th Army is coming up, it is all tanks, should we fight or not? ”
The pseudo-legion commander looked at the chariots that were getting closer and closer in front of him, and then looked at the little devils not far behind him, the pseudo-legion commander gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Call me!" ”
After receiving the order, many puppet soldiers began to crack and shoot, at this time, the soldiers were still hundreds of meters away from the puppet army, and it was still unknown whether the puppet soldiers could hit the target.
Some puppet army fighters even hid in the trenches and fired their guns indiscriminately into the sky, completely coping with the matter.
The little devils were not far from the puppet army, and when the little devil captain saw the appearance of the puppet army, he was immediately very angry, and he was so angry that he shouted: "Baga! The Imperial Concord Army is full of rice buckets. ”
The captain of the little devil brigade shouted angrily a few times, and immediately began to order the little devil artillery to prepare to open fire.
Suddenly, the little devil's Type 92 infantry guns and mortars began to fire at the soldiers hundreds of meters away, but the little devil's Type 92 infantry guns and mortars are all curved guns, which cannot be aimed directly, and if you want to hit the moving target, you can only rely on luck.
Obviously, the luck of the little devils was so bad that almost all the shells missed and exploded in the open space in the distance.
The fighters saw that the Japanese puppet army had opened fire, and the fighters also began to return fire.
First of all, the 30-mm cannons of off-road vehicles and armored personnel carriers began to fire, and shells rang out one after another on the positions of the Japanese puppet army, which was killed a lot.
The distance was close, and the soldiers on the off-road vehicles, also operating AK-47 assault rifles, fired fiercely at these Japanese puppet troops, that is, those armored personnel carriers, at this time, the shooting holes were also fully open, and the soldiers shot fiercely.
Every off-road vehicle, every armored personnel carrier, like a fast-moving fortress, is advancing towards the position of the Japanese puppet army, and in the blink of an eye, the soldiers' chariots are close to the forward position of the puppet army.
In front of the position, there are all puppet troops, these puppet soldiers see that the soldiers are so fierce, every chariot is simply an invincible existence, not only the firepower is fierce, but their own bullets, hitting these chariots, except for the clanging, have no effect.
Seeing that the soldiers rushed over, many puppet soldiers wisely chose to give up resistance, at first, the puppet soldiers also fired a few shots into the sky, and now, basically no resistance.
The soldiers rushed to this forward position, and seeing that many of the puppet soldiers had already laid down their weapons and surrendered, the soldiers no longer paid attention to these puppet troops and rushed towards the little devils behind.
Although there were nearly 2,000 puppet troops, their combat effectiveness was really not very good, and after the soldiers killed two or three hundred people, the remaining more than 1,000 puppet troops surrendered one after another.
"Yaga! The Thirty-sixth Army came. ”
Seeing that in a short period of time, the soldiers broke through the forward position, and the more than 1,000 puppet soldiers obediently took prisoners, and the soldiers were rushing towards their side, and many little devil officers shouted.
"Kill to !!"
Seeing the soldiers' chariots, rushing straight over, this mountain could not stop everyone's progress at all, the little devil captain, began to raise his command knife high, and ordered the little devils to fight back.
