Chapter 177 Rather for the jade to be broken
For many people who did not come and fled Jinling, yesterday was the first day that the little devils entered the city, and these people were very worried, for fear that these little devils who had entered the city would come to the door and pull them out of their hiding places.
After the gunfire that lasted for half the night subsided, these people finally couldn't bear the sleepiness, but just when the sleepiness was thick, a continuous earth-shattering explosion was heard in the city again, and when they woke up again, they also realized that a new day had begun again.
The 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which had not been able to rest all night, heard the gunfire coming from the direction of the barracks, and also knew that the Japanese troops in charge of assisting should engage the defenders who were staying there. Through this situation, the specific distribution of the defenders is analyzed.
Last night, many defenders broke through at night, so much so that many Japanese soldiers wondered whether the defenders who were entrenched in the presidential palace had all broken through. If this is the case, it will not be a good thing for the 18th Division at this moment.
Now that I think about it, perhaps, as the command analyzed, there were still defenders in the vicinity of the presidential palace who insisted on resisting. And these remaining defenders are only afraid that they are ready to sacrifice. No one can easily fight against such a force.
Listening to the continuous explosions coming from the direction of the barracks, he walked out of the temporary headquarters and came to Sadao Ushijima on the roof of a building, put down the binoculars in his hand and sighed: "It's not easy to fight today!" These defenders are afraid that they have already had the will to die! ”
Judging from the scale of the explosions, Ushijima Sadao was able to analyze that these explosions were not caused by the Japanese army, so they must have been made by the defenders. Most of the soldiers in the blast area will have a hard time surviving such explosions.
Just as Ushijima Sadao was considering whether he could send troops to attack, the reappointed adjutant said with a serious face: "General, the telegram sent by the Sixth Division shows that their search team has suffered serious losses in an ambush!" ”
"The troops who arrived on the battlefield earlier were the troops of the 6th Division? They're coming so early! ”
Sadao Ushijima, who received the telegram, did not say much, as the commander of the Japanese division, he knew very well that the commanders of the divisions were also competing in private. If it is possible, these lieutenant generals and division commanders hope to be promoted to generals one day!
Only the commander of the division with the best record can be promoted to the rank of general, and become a commander like Matsui Ishine, commanding a dispatch army in one aspect. That kind of power is also what these division commanders desire.
"General, the 6th Division encountered an explosion trap that seemed to have special shells, and the infantry brigade that entered the combat area suffered heavy casualties. Even if the soldiers who survived, many were injured by special shells. ”
"Na! Special bombs? Eight Geya Road, where are these defenders from the special ammunition? Didn't reply to the extra high class? ”
"Yes! In the telegram sent by the headquarters earlier, there were already suspicions that the commander of the defenders was probably the commander who had earlier urged the destruction of our columns. It is possible that these special bombs were lost in the military column earlier. ”
Listening to the report of the temporary adjutant, Sadao Ushijima quickly said: "Order the troops, be sure to carry gas masks when fighting." The commander of the defenders is really a madman, isn't he worried about the consequences of the spread of special ammunition? ”
The consequences of the use of special ammunition in urban combat can be imagined. However, in Hu Biao's view, the people in the combat area were driven away in advance, and the number of special bombs he buried in the explosion zone was not large, and the pollution caused was not large.
The most important thing is that the international community knows that the national army simply does not have the technology to make special ammunition. The special ammunition that appeared on the battlefield was made by the Japanese army without exception. Who would say that he did the polluted area formed by these special bombs?
I'm afraid that after the news comes out, everyone will suspect that it was a special bomb fired by the Japanese army during the attack, the purpose of which was to destroy the defenders' will to resist. As long as Hu Biao doesn't admit it, no one will believe that the special bomb was detonated by Hu Biao.
Sadao Ushijima, who figured this out, also felt a headache, if the defenders really had a batch of special ammunition in their hands, then they who were responsible for the attack really had to be extremely careful. The slightest carelessness could result in heavy casualties among the attacking troops.
During last night's sneak attack, many officers and men guarding the headquarters unfortunately inhaled deadly gases and were rushed to the rear hospital for treatment. But as the commander of the division, Sadao Ushijima knew that it would be difficult for those officers and soldiers to return to the army.
Waiting for the fate of those polluted officers and soldiers is to retire and leave the army, and even if they survive in the end, they will become permanent sickness, suffering from deadly gases until they die in this endless torture.
Three streets with Japanese search teams were detonated one after another, and with the collapsed ruins and special ammunition mixed in them, Hu Biao created a polluted belt. With the existence of this polluted belt, the little devils will not dare to attack it for a while.
Later generations of combat units have been specially trained to 'pass through the biochemical zone', and if they are not careful, they will be contaminated with those deadly gases, which is very likely to cause non-combat attrition of the troops. The Japanese army must also be well aware of the dangers of special ammunition.
Looking at the combat platoon that had been redressed, Hu Biao called a soldier from the guard platoon and asked him to stay on the side of the blocking position. The streets that are still preserved are actually planted with explosives, but they are not patronized by little devils.
The remaining alert detachment only needs to prevent the Japanese from entering from here. If there are too many imps, detonate the remaining explosion traps and blow up all the streets leading to the presidential palace to stop the imps from taking the back road.
Hu Biao, who returned to the presidential palace with a company of guards and the rescued combat platoon, also saw Chen Gongshu, who had already gotten up. Seeing that Hu Biaozhen rescued the combat platoon left behind in the barracks, Chen Gongshu was also very happy.
smiled and said: "Brothers, it's hard work, hurry in, breakfast has been prepared in the back kitchen, everyone hurry up and eat!" Eat your fill, and wait until you can continue to fight and kill the enemy! ”
Originally, in Chen Gongshu's view, rescuing this surrounded combat platoon, the loss of the already small troops, somewhat outweighed the losses. But now it seems that Hu Biao has brought a lot of people, but there are more people who have brought back.
One more person means more strength, especially when you are about to face a bitter battle. When ordering everyone to hurry up to eat, Chen Gongshu also continued: "Earlier, Liu Tuanfu sent a telegram that Platoon Commander Xu had successfully joined them. ”
"Good! This is indeed good news! Next, all we have to do is hold on until dark! ”
Knowing that Xu Sandao and his entourage arrived safely at the Purple Mountain and successfully joined Liu Guotong's headquarters, Hu Biao's heart that he had always mentioned was finally relieved. In Hu Biao's view, as long as Xu Sandao is with the commando, the special operations concept he taught can be retained.
Although the special operations concept taught to Xu Sandao and others was still very immature, Hu Biao still believed that with such a commando team that was good at camouflage and infiltration, it would also bring huge trouble to the Japanese army behind enemy lines in the future.
Even if he wanted to know what the casualties of the assault team were, Hu Biao still didn't send a telegram to ask. This kind of thing will add to the blockage after listening, Hu Biao thinks it's better not to ask. Even if he knew, what could he do?
The deceased has passed, and those who are alive at the moment do not know when they will fall, as a commander, Hu Biao should be considered more by the living. As for those who died, someone will deal with them after the war.
After breakfast, Hu Biao took the sniper team around him to the blocking position that Qin Tianyou was in charge of. Looking at the soldiers who were also eating in rotation, Hu Biao looked at the ruins in front of him and asked, "The little devil didn't move?" ”
"Nope! It was quiet all the time! Captain, is there some conspiracy of the little devil? ”
"I guess what you're waiting for! If nothing else, wait for the shelling, or wait for the planes! In this way, the battle ahead will still be handed over to you, and I will go back to the presidential palace to take command. If the little devils shell, you will hide and see the situation and withdraw.
If the little devil uses heavy artillery, the artillery fire will be extended and immediately withdrawn to the presidential palace. If you continue to use mountain artillery, you can lead two companies to hold on for a while, and you can eliminate some more little devils, which is still good after all.
If the little devils use planes, the first thing they will deal with will definitely be the presidential palace, and if I go back, I will just organize an air defense company to carry out air defense. If you can beat down two planes, I believe that the little devil's plane will not dare to be too arrogant. ”
"Okay, just leave it to me!"
"Remember! When you withdraw to the Presidential Palace, don't forget to surprise the little devils! ”
"Remember!"
Knowing what the so-called surprise in Hu Biao's mouth was, Qin Tianyou also replied with a smile. Perhaps, as Hu Biao said when he laid out the blocking positions and traps, he wanted to completely reduce the streets and houses near the presidential palace to ruins.
At least for a short time, even if the little devils occupy this area, they will not be able to use it. Even for a long time, it will become a danger zone. It is even more wishful thinking to try to occupy the presidential palace for propaganda.
Compared with the Battle of Songhu after three months, except for the neutral areas such as the public concession, which were preserved, the rest of the areas garrisoned by the national army were in ruins. Today's Jinling City doesn't seem to have suffered much trauma.
In Hu Biao's view, this situation is completely abnormal. As the capital of the Republic of China, how can the invaders calmly occupy it? Hu Biao can't control other places, at least the area around the presidential palace, he will let it become ruins.
Only in this way will the little devils know that if they want to occupy Jinling and even other cities, they must pay the price they deserve. It is better to be broken than to be a complete will to resist, and it is also necessary for more soldiers and civilians to know about the War of Resistance.
Hu Biao, who returned to the presidential palace, began to prepare for air raids. Fortunately, there are many basements of the presidential palace, which are still very suitable for use as air-raid shelters. As for the anti-aircraft company, it has been on standby in the bomb shelter in the garden.
Once it is discovered that the little devil really sent planes to attack, then the air defense company will also take corresponding countermeasures. Small-caliber anti-artillery fire is used against reconnaissance planes and fighters of little devils, and large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are used against bombers.
Although this counterattack may not last long, it can still deter the arrogant little devil air force, and let them know that if they want to bomb the presidential palace, they will also have to pay some price. The sky over the presidential palace will also become murderous!
