The Central China Front entered the countdown

"Commander-in-Chief, it's finally over. The entire 100,000-day puppet army, just like that, was wiped out by us..."Looking at the results of the battle that had just been counted in his hand. Commander Chen Geng, in his trembling voice, said with a moving face.

"Yes, the battle is finally over...."Liu Hua, as the commander-in-chief, after a short period of jī movement, returned to his previous solemn demeanor. However, from his relaxed words, it can still be clearly known that the shengli of this decisive battle is a lot of good news for him....

"Commander Chen, once xìng completely annihilated the Japanese puppet army of 100,000, this was completely unexpected by me. Speaking of which, this is also thanks to our regimental commander Li Shengda, otherwise, the entire annihilation battle would have lasted at least a day or two. However, with the elimination of these 100,000 Japanese puppets by us, the Japanese Central China Front is like we have cut off an arm alive, and it will not be able to jump for a few more days..."Liu Hua continued to speak.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, to be more precise, after we cut off an arm. The Central China Front of the Japanese Army has completely entered the countdown stage, and the day of their final destruction is not far away..."Commander Chen Geng replied with a moving face.

A few minutes later, after Chen Geng in front of him slowly woke up from his movements, Liu Hua Yijing put his thoughts on the two battlefields of Zhenjiang and Nanjing. After a short period of contemplation, he asked in a deep voice to Chen Geng in front of him.

"Commander Chen, although the battle here has ended successfully, the battles in Danshi, Nanjing and Zhenjiang are still ongoing, so we can't be too happy too soon. Zhenjiang City, with the chief of the General Staff personally in charge, plus the Japanese army lost its only air superiority, I am not worried at all. And the city of Nanjing, compared with the enemy, although we occupy a certain advantage. Danshi, after all, we belong to the besieging side, one is not good, even if we get the last shengli, we will pay a very heavy price..."

"Is there any news from Deputy Commander Wang?" asked Liu Hua after that.

"Not yet....do you want me to send a telegram to Deputy Commander Wang now, asking about the current specific battle situation in Nanjing City..."Chen Geng shook his head and replied.

"No, let's not interfere with the command of the front-line commander." 、

Immediately after, Liu Hua's words changed and he continued to speak.

"However, the fighting here is over, and we can't just watch other troops fighting on the front lines."

"Order: Commander Chen, you will lead all the commanders and fighters of the sixth column and the rocket artillery regiment, and after resting for a day, set off immediately. Reinforcements to Zhenjiang were placed under the command of the Chief of General Staff and participated in the encirclement and annihilation of all Japanese puppet troops on the periphery of Zhenjiang. ”

"One division of the guard column, and two remaining artillery regiments of the artillery column, under my command. After a day's rest, he rushed to Nanjing. Together with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang and Chief of Staff Zhang of the New Fourth Army, who had gone for reinforcements, they attacked the city of Nanjing. ”

"The two or three divisions of the guard column, commanded by Commander Bruce Lee, cleaned the battlefield on the spot and took care of the prisoners..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I'll go and deliver the order right away..."Chen Geng replied with a cheerful face.

Outside the city of Nanjing, which was once the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, after a few hours of progress, the two main columns of the East China Field Army, totaling 100,000 troops, completely completed the encirclement of the various exits and fortresses of Nanjing City. At the same time, under Wang Zhen's orders, attacking troops launched one small-scale attack after another on the outermost strongholds outside Nanjing.

The former enemy headquarters of the East China Field Army outside Nanjing.

Although it was several kilometers away from the front line, even through the telescope, it was impossible to see any of the battle situation. Danshi, the constant rumbling of gunfire from the front line still clearly and visibly reached the ears of everyone in the headquarters.

At this moment, Deputy Commander Wang Zhen, who was the commander-in-chief of the former commander-in-chief, was not affected by any gunfire, but stared at the huge combat sand table in the war room with a fixed face, silent.

Looking at the contemplative vice president in front of him, he looked at the more and more messages accumulated in his hands within an hour. Sun Shiquan, chief of staff of the Seventh Corps, who served as Wang Zhen's deputy, finally couldn't help but break the tranquility in the headquarters and spoke.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, these are several battle reports sent by Commander Deng and Commander Li in succession. After two hours of tentative attack, all divisions achieved considerable results. Danshi, because without the support of large-caliber artillery, we ourselves paid a lot of losses. The two commanders asked for instructions, how many artillery regiments, can they participate in the attack ...., "How is the enemy's defense during the offensive?" Wang Zhen opened his mouth and asked rhetorically.

"Very tenacious. According to the report of the two commanders. In the two-hour attack, although we captured several enemy strongholds, we completely annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese puppet troops. Danshi, throughout the attack, did not capture a single prisoner. The Japanese puppet army that stuck to these stores was almost always fighting to the last man..."Sun Shiquan replied in a deep voice.

"It seems that this battle in front of me is not easy to fight... However, no matter how difficult it is, as long as the commander-in-chief's encirclement and annihilation battle is successful, then the entire Central China Front of the Japanese army will enter the countdown stage...... Order, agreeing to the operational request of the two commanders, allowed the use of large-caliber artillery. Danshi, to tell the two commanders that throughout the siege battle, try to reduce the casualties of the troops as much as possible. Because, the little devils in the sunset in Nanjing are what we call féirò sooner or later. We have enough time to attack the city of Nanjing and eat them bit by bit...."After a short period of contemplation, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhen ordered with a resolute expression.

"Yes, Deputy Commander-in-Chief ...."

Two field artillery regiments, two howitzer regiments, and a large-caliber cannon regiment, totaling more than 200 large-caliber artillery pieces, joined the battle, and immediately dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese puppet army that was holding on to various strongholds outside Nanjing.

After all, no matter how strong the reinforced concrete bunkers are, they can't hold out for too long in the face of shells weighing dozens of kilograms.

At this moment, seeing the battlefield with the rumbling of artillery outside Nanjing, people were in the first place, and the battle of Nanjing a few years ago was linked. However, at this moment, with the passage of time, the corners of the two armies on the battlefield have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Japanese puppet army units that held on to the forts were not much different from the battle a few years earlier, except for the air and naval superiority. Danshi, the squadron after turning the corner, that is, the East China Field Army on the besieging side, has undergone earth-shaking changes...

Machine guns, cannons ... Except for the planes and warships that the Japanese puppet did not have for the time being. As long as the Japanese army has weapons and equipment, the entire East China Field Army has it. Not only possessed, but also in terms of quality and quantity, it far exceeded the Japanese puppet army that was sticking to the city of Nanjing at this moment.

In the face of the large-caliber shells rushing overhead, I saw the soldiers who were sticking to their positions, and they were so vulnerable in front of the large-caliber shells. The only thing you can do is to lie down in the fortifications that will turn into ruins at some point and pray to Amaterasu and pray that you can avoid the disaster in front of you....

Outside Nanjing, the Japanese puppet army, which was under fire from the East China Field Army, immediately felt that 'the sky was about to change'.

In their hearts, only the invincible Imperial Japanese Army would have such a powerful artillery fire. Only the inferior squadron will be like themselves now, waiting for death under artillery fire, without any ability to counterattack. Now, the whole thing is completely reversed. The invincible Imperial Army, in the face of the superior artillery fire of the East China Field Army, not only did not have the ability to counterattack, but also did not even have the opportunity to open artillery......

Patches of Japanese troops, although they all gave full play to their bushido jīng gods. In the face of the attack of the East China Field Army, they fought to the death and did not retreat until the whole army was killed. Danshi, whose own bloody body, is no match for steel cannonballs at all. In the strong bushido jīng god, he can't stop the bullets that come at him. Under the fierce blows of the East China Field Army, the Japanese troops, in a very short period of time, disappeared into the rumbling artillery fire of the battlefield....

The battlefield outside the city, although there are still several kilometers away. Danshi, the violent sound of gunfire still made the atmosphere in the city tense suddenly. Of course, in the entire city of Nanjing, the most tense atmosphere is undoubtedly the Central China Front Headquarters located in the center of the city and the Wang Puppet National Affairs Office Building, which is about to be destroyed...

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, Eastern, Western, and North have sent telegrams for help, asking the headquarters to immediately launch an artillery counterattack and suppress the enemy's artillery fire..."

"Artillery support, artillery support....don't they know that the only two remaining heavy artillery wings of our Central China Front, I sent out to reinforce Zhenjiang, and let me transfer artillery from where to suppress the artillery fire of the Zhinamen...."Matsui Shigen, who looked angry, asked angrily to the communications staff officer.

Before the communications staff officer could react from the panic, Matsui Shigen shifted his gaze to the chief of staff beside him and asked rhetorically.

"Tanaka-kun, haven't you contacted Lieutenant General Sakata yet?"

"Hayi....I haven't been in contact since I received a telegram three hours ago about the attack on my troops...," replied Lieutenant General Tanaka in a deep voice.

"A whole army of 100,000 people, even if it is attacked, it is impossible to destroy the whole army in three hours....can anyone tell me what is going on?" mentioned that there was no news, and at this moment, Lieutenant General Sakata, who Yijing had become a prisoner, Matsui Ishone's heart, once again produced a trace of anger....
