When Nakamura Kazuki heard this, his face sank and he asked, "What's the matter?" Are there any civilians in this fishing village nearby? ”

Tatsuhiko Tsuda hurriedly explained: "Sir, this is the case, in order to prevent leakage of information, when we arrived here, we deliberately gathered all the hundreds of civilians in this nearby fishing village and controlled them. ”

After a pause, Tatsuhiko Tsuda asked again: "Sir, do you see, did you let these civilians go?" ”

Under the illumination of the moonlight, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Nakamura Kazuki's eyes, and he said coldly: "Tsuda-kun, you must know that this operation is not only about the life and death of our 6,000 imperial army, but also about the success or failure of the entire strategic situation!"

There is no room for error!

So, just in case, you have to put an end to all accidents! Do you drip? ”

At the end of the speech, Nakamura Kazuki raised his right hand again and made a motion to wipe his neck.

"Hello! Humble duty understands! Tsuda Tatsuhiko paused heavily, and then turned his head to the captain beside him and ordered in a cold voice: "Kill all these civilians in China, and leave not a single drop!" ”

"Hello!"

The devil captain hurriedly paused and led the order to leave.

In a short time, the sound of dense gunfire and the snorting of bayonets into the flesh continued to sound.

Among them, there are also cries and begs for mercy one after another.

However, all was to no avail.

The little devil did not put down the butcher knife because of their plea for mercy, but showed more hideous fangs.

Hundreds of innocent people, from the elderly in their eighties and nineties to babies waiting to be fed in swaddling clothes, were brutally killed by these beast-like Japanese devils in less than 10 minutes, and none of them were spared.

Before 12 o'clock in the evening, all the Japanese troops boarded the ships, and taking advantage of the cover of night, the devil warships quickly sailed up the river and headed for Nanjing.

Due to the onslaught of the 3rd Division and the 102nd Division on Zhenjiang City overnight, the attention of the defenders was all attracted.

Therefore, under the cover of night, Nakamura Kazuki's department was able to smoothly pass through the waters of Zhenjiang and continued to touch in the direction of Nanjing overnight.

……

At around 5 a.m. the next morning, it was still gray.

More than 10 Japanese warships have sailed up the Shuojiang River and successfully arrived at the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River.

Due to the abundant water vapor on the surface of the Yangtze River, the temperature dropped sharply in the early morning, and the water vapor in the air was cold, so a thick fog formed on the river surface.

Visibility suddenly dropped to a very low distance.

Standing on the bow deck of the ship, Nakamura Kazuki looked at the thick fog in front of him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly appeared a touch of pride, and he couldn't help but laugh excitedly: "Hahaha! Great, God helps the Imperial Army!

With this fog, we will definitely be able to kill the Zhina army in Nanjing City by surprise! The win rate is increased by at least 3 percent! ”

Tatsuhiko Tsuda next to him nodded and said, "The chief is reasonable!" This time, the imperial army was able to successfully capture Nanjing in one place and annihilate the garrison of China! ”

Along the way, through conversations, Nakamura Kazuki, a military genius who returned from studying in Germany, showed superb advanced tactical theory and strategic vision.

This benefited Tatsuhiko Tsuda a lot, but also changed his impression of Nakamura Kazuki, from the initial resistance and resentment, to the current admiration and worship.

Therefore, he has completely let go of the dignity and face of the wing captain, and is willing to obey Nakamura Kazuki's command from the bottom of his heart.

However, just as the raiding Japanese army was about to arrive at the landing site, a gunboat acting as the vanguard in front suddenly sent a warning message.

"What's the situation?" After receiving the news, Nakamura Kazuki immediately turned around and returned from the deck to the cabin to ask the captain.

"Report to the chief, the avant-garde gunboat said that a group of unknown ships were found ahead, and it is speculated that it is very likely that they are fishing boats used by the Chinese army to evacuate supplies and civilians!" Captain Devil replied with a slight bow.

Tatsuhiko Tsuda frowned and asked, "Chief Nakamura, what do you say we should do now?" ”

Nakamura Kazuki did not rush to make a decision, but continued to ask the captain, "Did you find us?" ”

Captain Devil said: "We should have been discovered, because according to the report of the reconnaissance gunboat, the fleet of the people of China has begun to flee upstream, or they have fled to the nearest shore!" ”

Nakamura Kazuki pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, then leave them alone for the time being!" Order all fleets to immediately increase their horsepower and go straight to the Shimonoseki dock, striving to land quickly before the people of China can react! ”

"Hello!" The captain paused heavily and immediately conveyed Nakamura Kazuki's meaning.

Anyway, in this operation, the command has already appointed Kazuki Nakamura as the commander with full authority.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the responsibility lies with him, and the devil captain only needs to execute it, and even the link of using his brain is omitted.

More than 10 devil warships, together with the gunboat in front, all rushed to the dock at Xiaguan with full power.

And the fleet that was discovered by the devil's avant-garde gunboat just now was indeed a fishing boat used by Nanjing to transport the people.

After seeing Yang Jing's tactical theory and strategic vision, coupled with the orders from Wuhan, Tang Mengxiao, the commander of the garrison, finally adopted Yang Jing's proposal.

Began to collect fishing boats, 24 hours a day to transport and transfer the people in the city.

Due to the shortage of ships, there were still some civilians who went out of the Han West Gate, the Water West Gate, the Zhonghua Gate, etc., and evacuated westward along the south bank of the Yangtze River.

After the discovery of the devil gunboat, the shipwright and the escort of the ship. The first thing that came to the soldiers' mind was to flee for their lives.

Because they were on wooden fishing boats with no armor protection, let alone weapons to fight back.

And the devil's gunboats are steel ships with a displacement of several hundred tons, not to mention fighting, even if they hit, they can all be sunk.

The strength of the enemy and the enemy is not at all above the same magnitude!

So, of course, the instinctive reaction is to run away.

However, everyone did not expect that the devils would not only come from this one gunboat, but a fleet, and the purpose was not them, but the entire city of Nanjing.

In this way, more than 50 fishing boats rushed to the banks of the Yangtze River and above Yanziji.

By the time some of the soldiers who were escorting the ship ordered the boatmen to come to shore and planned to go back to report the situation.

The Japanese raiding force had arrived at the Shimonoseki pier.

With the order of Commander Nakamura Kazuki Daisa, more than a dozen warships successively lowered hundreds of rubber boats and a number of landing craft, loaded more than 6,000 Japanese elites at one time, and took advantage of the heavy fog to launch a beach-grabbing landing battle at the Xiaguan Wharf.

And after all the landing troops got on board.

More than 10 devil warships lined up along the center of the Yangtze River, and naval guns of various calibers were all aimed at the direction of Xiaguan Wharf and even Xiarumen, and suddenly opened fire.

Most of these devil warships are light cruisers with a displacement of about 5,000 tons, and the smallest is also gunboats with a displacement of several hundred tons.

The smallest caliber of naval guns equipped with them is more than 100 millimeters, and the largest ones are more than 300 millimeters.

Its artillery scale can be said to be much more powerful than a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army.

In the final analysis, the scale of artillery of the Navy and Army is not of a grade at all.

Because the terrain restricts the transportation of heavy artillery, even if you can build a super-large caliber heavy artillery, but how do you transport it?

If it can't be transported, it's just a bunch of iron lumps, and naturally it can't pose a threat to the enemy.

The Navy, on the other hand, has no concerns about this.

"Hurricane!"

"Hurricane, hurricane! ——”

In order to cover the landing of the attacking troops, the devil fleet opened fire as soon as it came up.

Large-caliber shells dragged the scorching tail flames, tore through the low altitude shrouded in dense fog, and smashed down.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

Suddenly.

The entire Xiaguan Wharf and even the Xiarumen Gate were all shrouded in a violent explosion, and for a time the flames soared to the sky, and the earth shook the mountains, as if the end of the world was coming.

Many people who were busy all night, commanded the evacuation of the people, and just wanted to go back to rest. The soldiers, who didn't have time to dodge, were engulfed by the sudden explosion.

The power of naval guns is extremely great, far from being comparable to the army's heavy artillery, especially those naval guns with a caliber of more than 200mm.

The landing point of the shell will leave a shocking crater with a diameter of more than several meters.

The absolute killing radius of this kind of shell exceeds 50 meters, and the target at the landing point of the shell is not only dead and dead, but will simply be bombarded with no scum left!

Any masonry fortifications would have pale and powerless under the terrifying might of such large-caliber naval guns.

Tang Mengxiao, Luo Youqing, and Liu Tiefu and other senior officials of the garrison headquarters who had finally had a good night's sleep were so shocked that they woke up from their sleep.

These heads, who didn't even put on their military uniforms, immediately ran towards the garrison headquarters in a panic.

Luo Youqing took the lead in running back to the headquarters, and a staff officer on duty immediately greeted him.

Luo Youqing hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what happened?" ”

"The shelling explosion, it seems to have come from the direction of Shimonoseki Pier!" The staff officers on duty were also very frightened, and suddenly they were completely sleepy.

In fact, what Luo Youqing wants to see most is a Japanese air raid, in that case, there is no need to worry.

However, there was no roar from enemy aircraft, and Japanese air forces hardly carried out bombing missions at night.

This only means that the situation is more serious.

As soon as he thought of this, Luo Youqing immediately ran out of the headquarters, found a commanding height with a wide field of vision and looked in the direction of Xiaguan Wharf, only to see that there had already been shrouded in the skyrocketing fire, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and shouted: "It's broken!" ”

Luo Youqing got off the commanding heights, hurriedly ran back to the headquarters, and ordered the staff officer on duty: "Call immediately and inquire about the situation in the direction of Xiarumen." ”

The staff officer answered, and hurriedly turned around to make a phone call.

At this moment, the phone of the garrison headquarters suddenly rang urgently.

At this time, Tang Mengxiao, Liu Tiefu and others also rushed to hear the news.

Luo Youqing glanced at them and reached out to pick up the phone.

After listening to the report on the phone, Luo Youqing's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he turned his head to Tang Mengxiao, Liu Tiefu and the others: "Meng Xiaogong, Brother Tiefu, the big thing is not good, it's a devil!"

Shimomun and Shimonoseki Pier were bombarded by a large number of Japanese naval guns at the same time!

Moreover, the front-line troops also discovered that a large number of devil infantry had landed from the Shimonoseki wharf! Now the Shimonoseki Pier has basically been occupied by the enemy.

These devils who landed from the Shimonoseki pier are advancing from the lower gate!

The defenders suffered heavy casualties under Japanese artillery fire!

According to reports, the lower gate may be lost at any time, so I called the headquarters to send reinforcements to help! ”

As soon as Luo Youqing's words came out, Tang Mengxiao, Liu Tiefu and others all changed their faces greatly, and their faces showed panic.

"The Japanese army is not good at night fighting, but they launched a fierce attack on the Zhenjiang fortress last night, and it seems that they want to cover this fleet to pass the Zhenjiang waters smoothly."

In the end, it was Luo Youqing who was the calmest, and after thinking for a while, he immediately ordered on the other end of the phone: "At all costs, be sure to guard the lower gate, reinforcements will arrive soon!"

No one is allowed to retreat until reinforcements arrive! Those who violate the order will be killed! ”

Luo Youqing hung up the phone, and said to Tang Mengxiao and the others: "Meng Xiaogong, the Japanese are obviously prepared, and the troops in Nanjing City are limited, we must not be chaotic in the face of danger and wait for help!" ”

Tang Mengxiao was already a little confused, and hurriedly said: "Everything is arranged by Brother You Qing!" ”

"Good!" Luo Youqing nodded: "Since that's the case, then please forgive Meng Xiaogong for giving orders on my behalf." ”

After saying this, Luo Youqing turned his head to look at Song Yinguo and said: "Commander Song, now there is only the 36th Division of your department in Nanjing City, so I order you in the name of the garrison headquarters to immediately form a reinforcement force with the 36th Division and the garrison guard regiment, and rush to the aid of Xiarumen!" ”

"Yes!"

Song Yinguo suddenly agreed, and immediately took the order to leave.

Luo Youqing continued: "Meng Xiaogong, Brother Tiefu, now we don't know how many troops the Japanese army has come, just in case, we need to quickly send an order to the Central Teaching Corps, the 87th and 88th Divisions outside the city, ordering them to quickly return to Nanjing!" ”

"Also, the situation is unclear now, and we must not leak the news of the Japanese army's sneak attack on Nanjing and landing at the Xiaguan Wharf to all front-line departments, otherwise it will inevitably affect the morale of the army and cause the whole line to be shaken.

Then Nanjing is in danger, and China is in danger! ”

Tang Mengxiao nodded again and again: "What Brother You Qing said makes sense. ”

Luo Youqing said again: "Meng Xiaogong, the stakes are very high, I will assist Commander Song to defend the Xiaru Gate, and I will leave it to you here!" ”

"Hmm!" Tang Mengxiao nodded in agreement: "It's okay, it's more appropriate for the guard regiment of the headquarters to be commanded by you, so as not to prevent them from cooperating with Commander Song, go quickly." ”

"Yes!"

After Song Yinguo and Luo Youqing left in a hurry, Liu Tiefu, another deputy commander, suddenly had an idea and said: "Meng Xiaogong, now that there is no war on the north bank of the Yangtze River, can we transfer the Tiger Ben Regiment guarding Yangzhou City back to Nanjing, so as to make a fool of itself!" ”

"Well, Brother Tiefu has a point!

Judging from the performance of the Tiger Ben Regiment on the Songhu battlefield, if Yang Jing is in Nanjing, he can indeed ensure that everything is safe! ”

Tang Mengxiao nodded heavily and readily agreed to Liu Tiefu's proposal.
