Chapter 248: The Battle of Nanchang (2) (3rd Update)

Division commander, these bastards of the Central Army really dare to shoot! ”

On the west bank of the Fuhe River, in a building, the 40th Division on the opposite bank was seen shooting a warning, and Xiong Qinyuan, chief of staff of the 102nd Division, scolded there.

In front of him was none other than Bai Huizhang, the commander of the 102nd Division.

"He's sorry, these people in the Central Army don't give them a way to live!" Bai Huizhang was also a little angry, and then stood up, "Come with me, I want to see if they dare to beat me to death." ”

Soon, Bai Huizhang came to the bridgehead with the guards, and as soon as he appeared, the machine guns on the opposite bank ceased fire.

"On the other side, the labor-management is Bai Huizhang, the commander of the 102nd Division, to make way for the labor-management, otherwise, we will send troops to attack." Bai Huizhang was also on fire in his heart.

Hearing that it was Bai Huizhang, Leng Jie also replied with a microphone, "Commander Bai, down there is Leng Jie, the commander of the 120th Regiment of the 40th Division." ”

"Nai Nai, how is this plague god?" Hearing Leng Jie, Bai Huizhang's heart was empty, but he still shouted, "Commander Leng, the Japanese offensive is too fierce, we need to withdraw to the city to rest." ”

"Division Commander Bai, according to the order of the garrison headquarters, your troops are responsible for holding the west bank, and the Japanese army has only been attacking for less than half a day, and you have abandoned several positions and retreated to the city, right?

And with so many of your troops, it will take a long time if they all withdraw in. The suggestion below is that you leave two regiments to hold on to the other side, and the rest of the troops can withdraw in, otherwise your troops will be treated as deserters by military law, and even if you are injured by mistake, we will have a legitimate reason for causing trouble to the theater headquarters. ”

"Division Commander, Regiment Commander Leng is right, if so many of us withdraw together, it will be easy for the devils to take advantage of the loopholes." Chen Weiguang, the commander of the 305th regiment next to him, reminded.

"He's gone, it's not this withdrawal, it's not if it's not withdrawn." Bai Huizhang scolded and scolded.

"Division commander, I am willing to lead the 305th Regiment to stay and hold the position." Chen Weiguang stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.

"I am willing to be humble." Xu Shijun, the head of the 304th regiment, also stood up.

"Okay, you two regiments will stay and hold on, and the rest will follow us across the river!"

After negotiation, the 304th and 305th regiments returned to their positions and relied on the fortifications built by the previous 120th regiment to defend themselves.

Because he was forced to leave two regiments to defend the west bank, after crossing the river, Bai Huizhang didn't give Leng Jie a good look.

Of course, Leng Jie is not afraid of offending this one.

However, Leng Jie misunderstood the 102nd Division, although the equipment of the 102nd Division was poor, but after the real fight, the spirit of not being afraid of death was very similar to the Sichuan Army.

Moreover, Bai Huizhang's younger brother was killed in the Battle of Xuzhou.

。。。。。。

"Hit!"

After the vanguard of the Japanese army entered the attack range, Li Jichang immediately gave the order to open fire, and at the same time he also shot and killed a devil machine gunner.

The first to bear the brunt were the soldiers who walked on the sides of the tank.

Because it is an infantry coordination, the infantry is next to the tank or armored vehicle. The Chinese army withdrew too quickly, which made the Japanese relax their vigilance, and the Japanese army did not know that tanks should not enter the city to fight under such circumstances.

Of course, there are also reasons why the Chinese army does not fight much street fighting, and as for the defense of Nanjing, it is actually not a very good model of street fighting, and the Japanese army has not learned a long lesson.

The Japanese army did not have a long lesson, which was a good thing for the Chinese army.

When bullets were poured down on the Japanese convoy from different directions and angles, the Japanese soldiers were stunned on the spot, and they didn't know which direction to shoot.

Subconsciously, they all crouched down, looking for obstacles to hide, but when they dodged to the nearby building, many grenades and flaming glass bottles were thrown out of the windows and doors of the adjacent building.

In one shot, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, and a number of tanks were also damaged.

The tanks were not blown up by artillery fire, but by the Molotov cocktails.

When a glass bottle containing alcohol or fuel hits the tank, the flames ignited at the mouth of the bottle begin to spread along the flammable liquid.

Although the weak point of the tank is usually the fuel tank, with the situation that the 120th regiment has a lot of recruits, it is good to be able to throw it.

Soon, the devil tanks and armored vehicles all caught fire, and the devils next to them didn't react.

Seeing that the tank was on fire, I didn't think about dodging, but trying to find a way to put out the fire.

Japan, which lacks steel, has limited steel to produce naval warships, and the share of steel given to the army is not much, and it cannot produce too many tanks, so tanks and armored vehicles are precious in the Japanese army.

Many tank soldiers lifted the roof and tried to escape.

But they forgot that there were Chinese troops around, and when they saw this situation, they naturally beat the water dogs.

Because the Japanese army was walking on the road, and the Chinese army was hiding in the buildings on both sides, most of them were on high ground, and the Japanese army could not effectively defend it.

At this time, the Japanese troops behind did not continue to rush forward, but chose to retreat.

However, it was also difficult for them to retreat, because when they retreated, Chinese troops also appeared in the buildings behind them, and after a while, the ground was full of Japanese corpses.

The whole battle lasted less than twenty minutes from the beginning to the end, and the wreckage of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere left in the middle of the road.

There is no doubt that the elimination of a Japanese squad and 4 tank armored vehicles in one fell swoop made the soldiers of the 120 regiment happy, all cheering there.

Li Jichang knew that the devil would soon fight back, and the chance of a battle that was very smooth just now would be very rare.

As long as they are ambushed like this several times in a row, the Japanese army will also learn to be smart, and no longer stupidly rush straight over, but look for the Chinese army from room to room.

However, this also happened to fall into Leng Jie's calculation, he just wanted to turn the battle into a house and a street battle, so as to drag the Japanese army into the quagmire of street fighting.

Li Jichang ordered the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield and pick up all the weapons and ammunition, which will definitely be needed in the next battle.

Especially bullets, because the Chinese army is short of bullets, even as the 40th division of the Central Army.

The Japanese army is different, each Japanese army will carry more than 200 rounds of ammunition when fighting, although it is a 6.5mm caliber, but the 120th regiment does not refuse.

Compared with Li Jichang's side, which fought an ambush by the Japanese army, causing the Japanese army to lose a squad and several tanks and armored vehicles, the 102nd Division fought very hard.

Not knowing how to engage in street fighting, the 102nd Division continued to set up defensive positions on the streets, without resorting to buildings on both sides of the road.

This also happened to allow the Japanese tanks to be brought into play, and for a time, the 102nd Division also suffered heavy losses.

When Noguchi Shaosa, who was directing the army to attack the position of the 102nd Division, was shocked to learn the news of the destruction of a small team.

"Yaga, what is Lieutenant Sato doing? Having lost 4 chariots, does he know how valuable chariots are to the Imperial army?

Tell him that he must destroy those Shina people, or he will cut his stomach! ”
