Chapter 603: Garrison by the River

In the 26th year of the Republic of China, on December 1, 1937, the Japanese army base camp issued the "Mainland Order No. 8", ordering the Central China Front Army and the Navy to coordinate and divide the troops into three routes to capture the south. Capital city.

Lao Chiang appointed Tang Shengzhi as the commander of the garrison in the capital and deployed to the south. Battle of Beijing.

Due to the huge disparity in power between the two sides, the south. The gates of Beijing were successively captured by the Japanese army, and the defenders resisted and sacrificed countless lives.

On the 12th, Tang Shengzhi was ordered by Lao Jiang to issue an order for the defenders to retreat.

Due to the disorderly retreat of the defenders, most of them were stranded in the city, and were massacred by the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses.

On December 13, South. Beijing fell, and the Japanese army began a tragic south. The Beijing Massacre.

Lin Yang naturally knew these things, as a countryman, how could he sit back and watch the south. The events of the Beijing Massacre played out again? But with his current ability, he can't change the situation of the war between the enemy and us.

These days, the south. The battle to defend Beijing is still in full swing.

Fortunately, because of the bad weather in the past few days, Japanese planes could not take off and bomb normally, and the muddy roads also caused great difficulties for the Japanese army to maneuver heavy equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, heavy howitzers, and heavy field artillery.

The two sides are inseparable.

However, from the perspective of the overall situation, once the bad weather passes, in the face of the little devil's planes, tanks, armored cars, heavy howitzers, heavy field artillery, etc., the Chinese army will be irretrievably defeated, and the loss of Nanjing is also inevitable.

Lin Yang is now leading the 585th Regiment to garrison the riverside and fight with the little devils.

Before garrisoning the riverside, he sent people to spread "rumors" in Nanjing, saying that the little devils had invaded the south. After Beijing, it is necessary to carry out the south. The Kyoto Massacre!

Say it's a rumor. But not really, because Lin Yang knew what would happen in the future, in history, Lao Jiang ordered the defenders to retreat, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers poured into the Xiaguan wharf like a tide.

In the face of the surging river, a few people chose to swim across. But without exception, they all froze to death in the river. The vast majority of the rest laid down their weapons, took off their uniforms, turned around and ran back into the city, where civilians had taken refuge in so-called safe zones.

The so-called safe zone did not bring any shelter to the fighters, and the Japanese army searched them out of the refugee group one by one, and escorted them to the riverside in batches to be slaughtered en masse.

Then, the red-eyed Japanese army completely lost control. He swung the butcher's knife at the hundreds of thousands of innocent people stranded in Nanjing.

Eternal shame on the Chinese nation!

The little devil wants to be south. The rumors of the Beijing Massacre shook the army and the people, and they would rather believe it than believe it, and many ordinary people moved their families, and Lao Jiang also had a headache, not knowing whether to believe it or not, and made corresponding preparations.

This makes the whole South. Battle of Beijing. It becomes more confusing.

……

Riverside.

The river defense of the 585th Regiment was spread out with the wharf as the center.

Across the river. There was a Japanese infantry wing, 4,000 men, and three infantry brigades under its command.

The infantry brigade has four infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, eight heavy machine guns, and one brigade artillery squad. Two 70mm infantry guns.

The infantry squadron has three infantry squadrons, one machine gun group, two light machine guns, one grenadier group, and two grenadier canisters. Two rifle groups.

This infantry wing is far better than Lin Yang's 585 Regiment in combat effectiveness, there is no way, his 585 Regiment only has more than 500 people, although it is well-equipped, but it is only a grade with the little devils, and it can't do it in the face of the Japanese army wing of 4,000 people.

Fortunately, it was not only he who faced this infantry wing.

Both upstream and downstream, there are friendly legions stationed there.

If the infantry wing of the little devil wants to cross the river, it must cross the river in an all-round way, otherwise it will be flanked by the Chinese army upstream and downstream.

As the middle stream, Lin Yang's 585th Regiment had to face, and there was also half an infantry wing, about 2,000 little devils.

Even if the weather is bad these days, and the little devil's planes, tanks, armored cars, heavy howitzers, etc. cannot operate normally, the well-equipped and well-trained little devils are still in a great advantage.

The commander of the capital garrison, General Tang, was also anxious for a while, and the 585 regiment, which had extremely strong combat effectiveness, was naturally sent to the garrison area.

The war is tense on all fronts.

In the past few days stationed by the river, Lin Yang has passed on the Sacred Heart Recipe to the soldiers in the regiment, and personally taught it, and successfully practiced them one by one.

In a lifetime, the internal force is much more powerful than ordinary people, and as the internal force becomes deeper and deeper, you can become a martial arts master. And the Sacred Heart Formula also has the miraculous effect of healing, immortality, and even the resurrection of the dead.

This also gave Lin Yang a lot of confidence, otherwise with the combat effectiveness of the 585th Regiment, in the face of the Japanese wing that was going to cross the river, it would still be hanging!

In the rainy weather, Lin Yang stood in the position, and through the telescope, he could see the situation on the other side of the river clearly, and saw that dozens of large and small ships had gathered on the pier on the other side of the river, and groups of Japanese infantry were boarding the ships in an orderly manner.

Wei Long was following Lin Yang's side, since he learned the Sacred Heart Technique, he had already regarded his head as a fairy-like figure, especially when he thought of the strange "resurrection from the dead" of the head of the group that day, he was even more convinced.

Seeing Lin Yang slowly put down the binoculars, his face was solemn, Wei Long said with a smile: "Don't worry about the regiment, a small Japanese army wing, our 585th regiment can still deal with it!" ”

Lin Yang nodded noncommittally, he was not worried about this, but worried about Nan. The matter of the Kyoto Massacre!

Soon, the Japanese army began to attack across the river.

About two squads of Japanese troops took the lead in crossing the river in more than a dozen small fishing boats and went straight to the wharf in Jiangbei, and less than half an hour later, the two forward squads of the Japanese army had already approached the wharf in Jiangbei.

The main forces of the Japanese wing also boarded the big ships one after another and pounced violently towards Jiangbei.

The 585th Regiment had already begun artillery attacks, and Lin Yang's regiment was very wealthy, and it did not hesitate to use artillery shells, even if it was used to hit moving targets on the river, the hit rate was not high, but it also caused a lot of damage to the Japanese army.

Soon, the Japanese forward team on the meeting was already close to the north shore.

The tactics of the Japanese army were to have two forward squads seize the dock and provide for most of the obstacles to the disembarkation, and once most of them were able to go ashore, they would be able to launch an attack formation and give full play to their advantage.

Lin Yang's position was not on the wharf, but a hundred meters away from the wharf, otherwise there would be no cover on the wharf, and with the Japanese artillery fire, no matter how many people were put to death.

When the Japanese army's forward squad was still a few dozen meters away from the wharf, bursts of gunfire rang out in the position of the 585th Regiment, and the Makqin heavy machine gun frantically shot the bullets into the river, splashing in all directions, and at the same time, more than a dozen devils were immediately beaten into a sieve.

However, it was not the Makqin heavy machine gun that caused the greatest casualties, but the sharpshooters of the 585th Regiment! (To be continued......)
