A squadron of the Imperial Army was all shattered!

When this news soon reached the headquarters of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, Gu Shoufu was shocked.

You must know that even if it was an attack on the Yuhuatai position before, the Sixth Division had not been destroyed as a formed squadron, and this time there were two Type 94 tanks that followed this squadron.

When he saw this telegram from the 47th Wing, Gu Shoufu thought that he had read it wrongly, but the telegram did say so.

"All the jade shatters of the Kudo squadron, and there are two Type 94 chariots?" Tani looked at Chief of Staff Shimono Ichiho Daisa, and Major General Tokutaro Sakai, commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, with a puzzled expression, "Didn't you say that the Chinese army laid down their weapons and ran to the so-called safe zone?" How can you have the ability to destroy an empire with a squadron of two tanks? ”

"Hey!" Shimono Kazuho nodded heavily, "That's what the 47th Wing's request report says, according to the report. Two chariots, one was blown up by a grenade from the China, and the other didn't know what the reason was, it seemed that it caught fire, and the fighters in the chariot were burned alive.

Also, the bullets that killed the Imperial warriors were mostly German-style submachine gun bullets. I suspect that the Kudo squadron was at least a formed infantry regiment in China, and it was also the elite of the central army in China, and only they could be equipped with so many submachine guns.

It shows that the intelligence agency's information is wrong! ”

"Yaga, are all the people in the intelligence agency pigs? Can't find out such simple information? Gu Shoufu scolded.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what now? Do you continue to send troops into the city? Shimono asked.

"Why don't you send it? Do you want those idiots of the 16th Division to occupy Nanjing? Gu Shoufu was dissatisfied.

At present, the 6th and 16th Divisions are mainly entering the city of Nanjing, and the 3rd, 9th, and 114th Divisions are all outside the city, or attacking the positions of the Chinese army that are still holding on to the Shogunate Mountain.

Because the Central China Front of the Japanese Army previously stipulated that the Shanghai Dispatch Army was responsible for attacking Zhongshanmen, Taipingmen, and Hepingmen in the northeast, and the 10th Army was responsible for attacking Gonghemen, Zhonghuamen, and Shuiximen in the southwest. The dividing line between the two armies in the city is Gonghemen - Park Road - Zhongzheng Street - Hanzhong Road.

The same was true of the occupied areas, so each army sent a division into the city to clear the Chinese army. However, both divisions did not send all their troops, but each sent a brigade.

The 6th Division sent the 11th Brigade and the 16th Division sent the 30th Brigade, and both brigades basically operated on the scale of squads and squadrons, and did not exist as a brigade.

Because of the information obtained before, most of the Chinese troops in the city fled into the safe zone, and the resisting Chinese troops were only scattered small troops, so naturally there was no need to exist as a brigade.

This meant that there were only about 10,000 Japanese troops in the city at this time, and they were scattered all over the city.

What the Japanese did not know was that although the Chinese troops still resisting in the city were scattered, there was a force that was gathering these scattered troops. Even if there are only a few thousand people in total, if they converge and engage in street battles with the Japanese army in a planned manner, Rao is an elite Japanese army may not be able to please him.

By the time the Japanese found out, the situation in the city was already somewhat out of control.

"Pass the order, let the troops not be too far away from each other, and then send a brigade to encircle and suppress the formed infantry regiment, find it, and then destroy it for me!" Gu Shoufu said disdainfully, it was just an infantry regiment, and it couldn't attract his attention.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, is one brigade enough?" Shimono Kazuho hesitated.

"Enough, it's just a Chinese infantry regiment, don't worry! Occupy the city as soon as possible, and then find a way to eliminate all the people in those safe areas, and it is also a hidden danger to keep them. Gu Shoufu commanded.

"But the previous order, as long as they lay down their weapons, you can not kill them!"

"You believe this, and you have deceived the people. That's a hundred thousand of that broken army, and it will be a hidden danger sooner or later to keep it. Gu Shoufu shook his head, his expression a little grim.

。。。。。。

In the city, Leng Jie didn't know that the Japanese regarded his troops as a formed regiment. In fact, this is not wrong, the size of more than 700 people is about the same as a regiment.

He didn't even know that the Japanese army had sent a brigade to encircle and suppress him.

Of course, even if he knew the news, he wouldn't have much pressure, what about a brigade. In street fighting, it's not just about having a lot of people.

In the historical Battle of Stalingrad, the Soviet army only defended with 90,000 people, while the German army directly attacked the city of Stalingrad had 170,000 people.

To be honest, the military literacy of the Soviet army at that time was really inferior to that of the German army, and the same was true for weapons and equipment. Even so, the Soviets held out and inflicted heavy losses on the Germans, and the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad became a turning point in the European theater of World War II.

Although both sides continued to increase their troops into the city during street fighting, the Chinese army could not.

However, the Chinese army in Nanjing at this time, plus the defenders and troops withdrawn from other places, also numbered more than 100,000. And the main force of the Japanese army is only five divisions, also more than 100,000 people, and if you really want to fight, you will have to kill tens of thousands of Japanese troops.

After all, in street fighting, the Japanese army did not actually have an advantage.

Leng Jie's side had just rescued several small troops, a total of more than a hundred people, and then incorporated these people into his own troops. Although many people were killed in the battle, the Sixth Company brought back nearly 1,000 defeated soldiers from the Zhongshan Gate and Purple Mountain positions, most of whom were taught by the General Brigade, and a small part of the 103rd Division.

In this way, Leng Jie has more than 2,000 remnants in his hands, but he, a major, manages so many people, these people may not be obedient.

Someone quickly solved his problem, but he was not happy.

Because it was Chen Wei and Xie Chengrui's adjutant and the remnants of the 100-person Second Regiment who brought Xie Chengrui's body.

Seeing Xie Chengrui's corpse, Leng Jie was in a somewhat complicated mood, he had persuaded the other party not to retreat to Xiaguan before, but he didn't expect the other party to listen to him.

As a result, they met again, but they were forever separated.

"Salute!"

Leng Jie took off his military hat and gave a military salute with a serious look at Xie Chengrui's corpse. And the surrounding officers and soldiers also took off their hats and saluted, this should be the highest-ranking officer --- colonel rank they saw after the destruction of Nanjing, but they didn't expect it to be a corpse.

This made the hearts of these officers and men who were willing to stick to Nanjing feel a little heavy. They looked at Xie Chengrui's corpse, wondering if they would be the next to die, maybe it was, but since they had chosen to stay and resist, death was also expected by them.

"Battalion Commander Leng, the regiment commander said before he died, let you act as the head of the second regiment, and leave Nanjing alive with the brothers of the second regiment!" The adjutant handed Xie Chengrui's gun to Leng Jie and said seriously.

Leng Jie took the matching gun, wiped it, and then pinned it to his waist, now he has two guns, and the other one is Guo Ying's---- the brother who died in the battle a few days ago!

Leng Jie took over this gun, which also meant taking over a heavy burden, but he didn't regret it!

After bowing deeply to Xie Chengrui's body, he then put on his military hat, turned to look at the group in front of him, and solemnly promised, "I, Leng Jie, promise here that I will not only leave Nanjing with the brothers of the Second Teaching Regiment, but also leave Nanjing with the entire Teaching Corps, the entire Central Army, and the entire Chinese army who are willing to stay and hold on to Nanjing."

Actually, we can break through tonight. But there are still many brothers in the city who are struggling to hold on, and there are 100,000 brothers and hundreds of thousands of people hiding in the safe zone, and if we leave now, they will be slaughtered and humiliated by the Japanese army.

These are not made up by me, if you can stay and stick to Nanjing with me and Leng someone, you will know that what I said is not false. So we have to continue to hold on for a while, and then leave Nanjing with more brothers!!

They should have died honorably on the battlefield, not unjustly under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army! ”

No one opened his mouth to respond, because all that responded to him was a neat military salute, and that determined and death-defying look!
