Xu Wendao: "Immediately contact the garrison theater headquarters, tell them my analysis, and ask Chief Tang not to panic, just order the gendarmes and various defense units in the city to stick to this area!"

I will lead the tank and armored units of the Independent Brigade to make a mobile sortie and cooperate with the defenders to eliminate all the Japanese attack troops that have infiltrated Nanjing.

In addition, the Kunisaki detachment, the Shigeto detachment and other enemies in Jiangbei have been completely annihilated by our troops, and Jiangbei is safe, please rest assured. ”

Xu Wen remembered that in the original history, he had sworn to issue a telegram, saying that he would swear to live and die with Nanjing, and also destroyed all the Tang governors who could cross the north boats in public, but when Nanjing was about to be broken, Tang Commander abandoned his troops and escaped alone by relying on the small boats he had hidden before.

Therefore, he has a criminal record, Xu Wen is really afraid of this old guy, and when he saw the Japanese army entering Nanjing City, he was shocked and left the army and fled.

Although this old warlord-born Tang Commander, staying behind is not of much help to the command of the battle situation.

However, after all, he was the supreme commander appointed by the Nationalist Government, and if he left his troops and fled without a fight, the impact on morale would still be huge.

Once the 100,000 national army in Nanjing gave up resistance, the independent brigades of Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo alone would inevitably be unable to support themselves.

So, it should be stable or it must be steady!

Facts have proved that Xu Wen's worries are not unreasonable.

After being attacked in the city of Nanjing and gunshots rang out, Chief Tang was really frightened, and hurriedly asked the staff officers to call all the armies and divisions on the front line directly to inquire about the battle situation, especially to ask them to repeatedly confirm whether the outer defense line had been lost.

After receiving an affirmative answer from the front-line troops, Chief Tang asked with a gloomy face, "What happened to the gunfire and attacks in the city?" ”

Deputy Commander Liu Xing was also full of doubts: "Could it be an attack launched by devil agents?" ”

Before the Japanese army launched the war of aggression against China, it had carried out a comprehensive infiltration into all parts of China, and no one could tell how many Japanese spies were hiding in the huge city of Nanjing.

Luo Zhuoying categorically denied Liu Xing's statement, and said: "Listen to the gunshots, it's so dense, how can it be a spy!" How many spies can make such a big move? ”

"What's going on?" Tang Shengzhi sent out a soul torture, and at this moment, a major communications staff officer of the headquarters suddenly hurriedly ran out of the confidential room next door.

He quickly stood up and saluted Tang Shengzhi and the others: "General seat, deputy seat, and staff seat, Zhu Ziming of the Independent Brigade sent a telegram, saying that the outer defense line of Nanjing has not been lost, and Zhou Weiguo, the deputy brigade commander of the Independent Brigade, is still leading his troops to resist the enemy and fight a bloody battle with the Japanese army!"

The attack in the city is only a small part of the enemy who has infiltrated in, please don't panic, and order all the gendarmerie units and the remaining troops in the city to strictly guard their respective defense areas!

He will lead the main force of the independent brigade, and the mobile operation will be responsible for suppressing the Japanese attack force in the city. ”

Commander-in-Chief Tang said with some embarrassment: "We didn't panic. ”

Luo Zhuoying directly changed the topic and asked, "Zhu Ziming has entered the city?" So who is defending in Jiangbei? ”

The communications staff officer immediately replied: "According to the report of the Independent Brigade, they have completely annihilated the Kunisaki detachment and the Shigeto detachment respectively, and removed the threat from Jiangbei. ”

"What? Wiped out the Kunisaki detachment and the Shigeto detachment respectively in one night, two Japanese troops? Or are they all annihilated? At this time, Commander-in-Chief Tang and Luo Zhuoying and others were all shocked.

The major staff officer nodded and replied, "Yes, sir." ”

"Amazing, it's amazing!" Chief Tang couldn't help but nod his head excitedly and praised again and again.

Luo Zhuoying said: "General, since the danger of Jiangbei has been lifted, Zhu Ziming led the elite armored troops of the Independent Brigade into the city of Nanjing.

Then we don't need to panic too much! ”

Chief Tang nodded happily and said: "That's right, with the Independent Brigade, how many Japanese attack troops in the city will be destroyed!" After the order was issued, all units of the city defense gendarmerie and all units of the 36th Division immediately mobilized their forces to launch an all-out attack on the enemy in the city!

Tell them that it was only a small group of Japanese soldiers who came in, and the devils didn't come in! We, the Garrison Commander's Headquarters, are with them! ”

"Yes!" The staff officer of the major suddenly agreed, saluted, and immediately turned around and left.

……

At this time, Takeshita Jun was leading more than 1,000 of his men to attack and advance near Guanghua Gate, intending to join up with another Japanese army first, concentrating on capturing Zhonghua Gate and Guanghua Gate, and forming an internal and external attack on the Nationalist defense forces outside Nanjing, so as to meet more Japanese attacks.

However, the defenders in the city, because of the clear instructions of the headquarters, quickly mobilized troops to launch a stubborn resistance to them, although the casualties were heavy, but the soldiers did not retreat.

Dragged down the two Japanese attack troops such as Jun Takeshita, and was in a bitter battle at Jun Takeshita's command post.

Xu Wen and Chen Zhenglun's soldiers divided into two routes, each leading a group of tank and armored troops, along the street with a crushing momentum, from the rear of the devil.

The Japanese army led by Jun Takeshita and others may be much stronger than the ordinary national army, but in the face of the tank and armored units of the independent brigade that have experienced a hundred battles and are all controlled by all-round soldiers, it is simply not enough.

As soon as they came into contact, the powerful assault fire of the independent brigade hit the devil rearguard unit with heavy casualties and kept retreating.

Soon, Xu Wen commanded the tanks and armored vehicles and routed them.

Because of the rearguard troops he arranged, he was defeated too quickly, and in the face of the crisis of being attacked by the enemy on his back, Jun Takeshita had to stop the attack on Guanghua Gate.

The remnants of the command post occupied a small block of houses nearby and switched to the defensive, and the military police units of the national army, which had been pressed and beaten by them before, saw this opportunity and immediately launched a counterattack.

Flanked with the armored forces of the Independent Brigade and besieged Takeshita Shunsho's department.

In desperation, Jun Takeshita had no choice but to order the signal corps: "Report to General Ryosuke Yoshika immediately, and say that we have been besieged by the armored forces of the Shina Army, and the attack has failed!"

The Kunisaki detachment in Jiangbei should have been completely wiped out, and we will desperately contain the Zhu Ziming headquarters of the Chinese army that has entered the city, and ask them to break through the outer defense line of the Chinese army as soon as possible, and don't let us die in vain! ”
