Chapter 310: The Bloody Battle of Nanjing (15)

After the shelling, there were few living creatures in the entire Hujia Garden, except for the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, there was also a mess, some Japanese soldiers were not killed, and there was no one who was embarrassed, several of them were holding their broken arms and legs, wailing in pain over there.

"Help, save me......"

"Squad leader, what is this little Japan talking about?"

"He said, let you give him a good time." Lao Wei can actually understand a sentence or two of Japanese, and the Japanese soldiers are also people, and they are not necessarily afraid of death, and the Japanese soldiers just now were actually asking them for help.

But he was injured like this, and he was a cripple when he went back, and he wasted medicine and food, besides, this medicine was originally precious, and he didn't have enough of it, so he could still use it.

"Also, I'll be a good person and help him." The kidnapper really believed it, walked over, and understood the Japanese soldier who loved it with a knife.

Seeing the murderous appearance of the abductor, those wailing Japanese soldiers all showed desperate expressions, and some even gave birth to a trace of fighting spirit, trying to touch the weapons around them.

These veterans, who have never had blood in their hands, have long understood the truth that you cannot be merciful to the enemy on the battlefield, and went up to solve several problems in a row.

Rumble!

What's wrong?

"A brother injured the devil's deceitful thunder, this little devil is very good, and he learns so fast......"

"Everyone be careful, all the corpses of Japanese soldiers must be mended, don't be careless!" The company commander rushed over and shouted.

"That must be a new ding, but it's a pity, I don't know if I can continue to stay with us."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Class, squad leader, Master, this. There's a living one here. And the ...... of the herds" the shepherd's voice suddenly came. The frightened old Wei squad leader's soul is rising, although this little guy has experienced a lot of battles, but he is still a rookie in battle.

"Where, where......" The old Wei squad leader inquired, and a few soldiers from the left also came over.

"Here." The shepherd pointed to a Japanese soldier in the ditch, face down, who did not appear to be injured, but the man was unconscious. Otherwise, with so many people watching, he wouldn't have woken up sooner.

It's useless to play dead.

"Shepherd, how did you find out?"

"I came all the way to clean up the battlefield, and he suddenly reached out from the gutter and grabbed me, startling me, and then I passed out." The shepherd nervously explained.

"Squad leader, what to do, it's a living. Do you want to carry it back? ”

"After a long time of fighting, we don't seem to have captured a single captive alive. Or is that all? ”

"The company commander is here."

"What's wrong, you don't have to clean the battlefield?"

"Lianza, there is a Japanese soldier here, I guess the shells were stunned?"

"It's not dead, if it's not dead, carry it back, maybe it's useful." The company commander thought for a moment and decided.

Inoue's life is really good, if he is not unconscious, but wounded, it is estimated that his fate will be different, so he became a prisoner, and he no longer has to think about how to survive against the Chinese soldiers.

"Eliminate a squadron of the Japanese army, and capture a prisoner, good, very good, then you have to beware of the retaliation of the Japanese army, and quickly withdraw from the 13th area, we just want them to come in, otherwise all our arrangements will be in vain?"

"Boss, phone?"

"Let him wait a while, I'll finish speaking!" Leng Feng shook his hand at Guo Weiquan.

"Well, I'm listening, you must control the rhythm, don't beat the Japanese too painfully, but you can't let it go fast, ...... before dark"

"Well, very good, how to use the artillery battalion, that's your business, you don't need to ask for instructions, that's all." Leng Feng scratched the phone.

"Hey, it's me, what's the situation?"

"The Japanese army has an attempt to attack from Yaohuamen in a roundabout way, an infantry brigade, as well as cars and mules pulling artillery, the strength is between 1,000 and 1,005, okay, I know, immediately study countermeasures, you continue to monitor." Leng Feng put down the phone and frowned deeply.

"From Yaohuamen to Sanchakou, the target of this partial division of the Japanese army is Xiaguan Wharf, and the appetite is not small." Long Yingqin exclaimed.

"We have eaten almost the entire 16th Division, they came with hatred, and they must leave us in Nanjing." Leng Feng said, "Attacking alone, the Japanese army is still too conceited, do you really think that we don't have the strength to destroy it?" ”

"Leng Feng, are you going to eat this Japanese division?"

"Of course, if you don't hurt it, how can you know that you can let him fight a war of attrition with us in Nanjing City?" Leng Feng smiled coldly.

"Call Liao Sen and ask him to transfer his 371st regiment back to me overnight, and we'll eat it tonight." Leng Feng slammed his fist on the table.

"Don't we still have a secret service?" Qiu Qingquan was puzzled.

"Although the strength of the special mission is not weak, it can only defeat this Japanese army at most one-on-one, and if you want to eat it, you must have at least three times its strength to be sure." Leng Feng explained.

"But the 371st Regiment plus the Special Service Regiment is only twice the strength of the troops, who else?"

"Don't forget that we also have a reinforced battalion of cavalry directly under the division headquarters, and I plan to transfer half a mortar battalion and an infantry battalion from the new 39th and new 40th brigades to form a mixed battalion, plus four supplementary regiments, so that it will not be enough." Leng Feng said.

"Yes, that's three times the enemy's strength." Qiu Qingquan nodded.

"Since we want to completely destroy this Japanese army, we must choose a good battlefield, and I think I will choose here!" Leng Feng walked to the sand table, went west from Yaohua Gate, stopped at a location called Caotou Mountain, and said softly.

"The terrain of Caotou Mountain is relatively gentle, and it is indeed suitable for cavalry impact, and the victory can be decided in one fell swoop!" Qiu Qingquan's eyes lit up, and he was very satisfied with the battlefield Leng Feng chose.

"Staff Officer Long, make a plan around the terrain of Caotou Mountain, and the goal is to completely annihilate a brigade of the Japanese army." Leng Feng commanded Long Yingqin.

"Yes!"

"Wei Quan, you are also involved, the focus is on the use of cavalry interspersed and division tactics." Leng Feng ordered Guo Weiquan again.

"Okay. Chief. ”

"It's half past three in the afternoon. It was two and a half hours until it got dark. During this time, let our troops take turns to compete with the Japanese army, don't be afraid of defeat, it doesn't matter if you lose a little space, just fight well. Leng Feng said.

"Isn't it too risky to train troops in actual combat?"

"Only in this way can they grow up quickly, and it is worth paying some price. We don't have time to wait for them to train one by one before going to war. ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Qiu Qingquan's eyes, a large number of veterans were killed in the defense of Songhu and Nanjing or were slaughtered by the Japanese army.

If this battle can be fought like this, it is already an achievement against the sky, and it is time to be content.

However, he encountered a cold front who was not very content, and he actually had the courage to use actual combat to train troops, which was something that he Qiu Qingquan could not even think of.

Actual combat training is too risky. If there is an experienced veteran to protect, or to have an absolute advantage. You can still give it a try, but now, he is making it clear that he is using actual combat to eliminate some people.

It's cruel!

What can you do if you don't approve, if you don't take charge of the army, the country and the nation have reached the critical moment of life and death, no matter how great the meaning of an individual's life is, can it be greater than the survival of the nation?

"The attack went well, and the casualties were heavy?"

"What about the Chinese army?"

"Their casualties are roughly the same as ours, and now we have begun to sweep into the city, and there is hardly a single Shina in the city......"

"Hai, understand, please rest assured, Your Excellency the Division Commander, we will definitely occupy the Fifth District before dark!"

"Hai, Akiyama understands!"

Akiyama Yoshitsui put down the phone, his face flushed, after replacing his troops to attack, the progress was quite effective, although there was a squadron that was lured and annihilated, but on the whole there was significant progress, and the speed of the imperial army's advance was greatly improved.

The will to fight seems to be weakening, their quality is too poor, and their stamina is insufficient.

The 3rd Division in the direction of Zhongshan Gate also advanced to the city wall, and the National Salvation Division withdrew again and again, and after repeatedly fighting for the city wall, it was finally unable to hold on and retreated into the city, and the Japanese army pursued and attacked Zhongshan Gate.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the fortified positions of Tongji, Guanghua and other Japanese troops were broken through one after another, and the National Salvation Division was forced to move into the city, building a front based on the streets, lanes and ruined buildings in the city, and resisting step by step.

The situation seemed to be quite unfavorable for the National Salvation Division, and the fighting became more and more brutal.

The number of casualties of the National Salvation Division increased in a straight line, and from morning to 2 p.m., the casualties in nearly eight hours were actually similar to those from 2 to 4 o'clock.

By five o'clock, the total casualties of the National Salvation Division exceeded 4,000.

On the Japanese side, the casualty figure was even higher, nearly 6,000.

This figure is already more than one-tenth of the total strength of the attack on Nanjing, but the National Salvation Division is different, it is one-fifth, or even one-quarter.

You must know that there are about 12,000 people in the National Salvation Division who can really carry out combat missions in Nanjing, and there are 5,000 recruits who have touched guns.

The total number of troops is only about 18,000.

In the face of almost three times the heavy pressure of troops, even if there are many countermeasures, the pressure is enormous.

The eyes of the whole country are focused on Nanjing, which has been besieged for two days and two nights, although most of the city is still in hand, but everyone knows that sooner or later this city will fall again.

"The people have already moved, why don't they retreat?" Lao Jiang is also anxious, the task of the National Salvation Division has actually been completed, and it has been done very well.

Now the government has a very high prestige among the people, and all of this was fought by Leng Feng with the National Salvation Division, and the government and the army did not abandon the people in Nanjing, but evacuated them all safely to Jiangbei.

This has undoubtedly strengthened the people's centripetal force towards the government, and he, the chairman of the Military Committee of the Nationalist Government, now has people who welcome him everywhere he goes, and his waist can be straightened and he is justified and strong.

"Their intention is to compete with the Japanese army in Nanjing, and to consume the living strength of the Japanese army to the greatest extent." Lin Wei reported helplessly.

"Is that really the case?"

"Sir, I don't think there is any other reason, although Leng Feng has always been a little out of line, but he is always measured, besides, judging from the current battle report, the losses of the Japanese army in Nanjing far exceed ours, and Liao Sen in Jiangbei is also fighting well, we have so many people to resettle, and Leng Feng is so much to buy time for them." Lin Wei explained.

"It's hard for them." Lao Jiang sighed slightly, "If that Tang Mengxiao has half of Leng Feng's responsibility, why is the Nanjing fiasco like this?" ”

Lin Wei's face was staggered, and he didn't know how to answer.
