Chapter 203: The Battle of Nanjing (Zhuge is alive)

The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and on the eve of the upcoming war, the whole city of Nanjing is filled with a solemnity.

The old people who always appear in the old teahouse on weekdays do not appear again; The vendors who shouted and bought and sold in the streets were gone; The shadows are sparse, and the entire city of Nanjing seems to be suppressed by dark clouds.

On the 3rd, the news of the Japanese army's advance on Nanjing had gradually spread.

The initial news spread was that the Japanese army had gathered more than 200,000 troops and nine divisions and regiments and marched towards Nanjing, making up its mind to capture Nanjing.

The people may not know, but the generals of the national army are very clear, at this moment, the soldiers of the national army defending Nanjing City are more than 100,000 people.

Among these 100,000 people, of course, there are many bloody soldiers who have already made up their minds about the horse leather shroud, but under this panicked general trend, there are indeed a large number of soldiers who are panicked in their hearts and do not have much will to fight.

As for what some of the nationalist generals who know what they think, everyone knows it, but no one has picked it out.

…… The location turns back to Yuhuatai.

Han Xianyuan was chatting with Han Xin, probably thinking that he owed Han Xin a little bit to send Han Xin to the left-wing position, and Han Xianyuan always expressed his apologies intentionally or unintentionally.

After a few days of contact, the two have become familiar with each other.

Han Xin had some doubts in the chat, and he didn't have taboos, so he asked directly: "Brother Xianyuan, dare to ask how the current military structure of your 262 Brigade is, and how many troops are in the entire brigade?"

This point has long existed in Han Xin's heart, in the records of later generations, there were more than 1,000 people in a regiment of the national army during the Anti-Japanese War, but when he went to the 388th regiment, there were more than 2,000 soldiers in the 388th regiment, which is extremely unreasonable to think about.

Han Xianyuan's answer was: Our 262 Brigade, like most brigade headquarters, has three regiments in a brigade, and the number of people in each regiment is about 1,000 to 3,000.

However, after the battle of Beijing and Shanghai, our troops were not replenished in time, and at this moment, our 262nd Brigade was fully charged, even if the men of the cooking squad were combined, there were only nearly 7,000 men.

"So Brother Han, sending your 388th Regiment to defend alone in the left flank position, this is also a helpless thing, I have seen the strength of your regiment, it is really unbelievable, there are nearly 4,000 men and horses, which is almost half a brigade."

Han Xianyuan said and explained, and explained the order given by Zhu Chi, Han Xin smiled and didn't say much.

For the regular central army of the national army, no matter how many other miscellaneous troops are, they are all rabble, vulnerable, and difficult to take on big tasks.

So what Zhu Chi thought in his heart, Han Xin also knew a little bit about it, but he didn't complain about anything, as the commander of the first brigade, if Han Xin was Zhu Chi, he might do the same.

Han Xin's sense of Han Xianyuan is still good, this is a soldier who is sincere to people.

Others will be sincere to me, and I will inevitably be sincere to others, so Han Xin still decided to tell him what he knew.

"Brother Xianyuan, I don't know if there's a suggestion, should I talk about it?"

"Brother, please tell me, what is polite to me?"

Han Xin nodded, and did not explain why, and said bluntly: "In the early morning of the 5th, the little devils will send a large number of planes to bomb Nanjing City, I hope you can make defensive preparations in advance."

"What do you say? How do you know, brother? Han Xianyuan was taken aback by Han Xin's sudden shocking remarks.

The little devil will send planes to bomb the city of Nanjing, which Han Xianyuan knows that for the Japanese army with absolute air supremacy, if they do not use planes, unless they are stupid.

But what gave the generals of the national army a headache was that the Japanese planes came and went without a trace, and no one knew when he would come to bomb them, and he couldn't prevent them.

However, the young regiment commander in front of him actually swore that the devils would bomb Nanjing City in the early morning of the 5th, so he couldn't help but doubt it.

Han Xin was helplessly silent for a while, he already knew that there would be this result.

It's really unbelievable to say this kind of thing, but Han Xin believes that there will be no mistake in the general record of the Battle of Nanjing in the history books of later generations, so he has this judgment.

After pondering for a while, Han Xin still explained: "The Japanese air force is strong, which is a huge advantage for our side, and they will not give up.

According to the consistent style of the little devils, before the real battle, they will definitely send planes to bomb in advance, which I believe you should feel after experiencing the battle of Beijing and Shanghai. ”

"Then how can Brother Han conclude that the little devil will bomb in the early morning of the 5th?" Han Xianyuan asked directly.

"Haha, maybe I'm saying it too absolutely, but it's always good to be prepared.

Brother Xianyuan, since in ancient times, there were Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Yuan Tiangang and others who could predict the future, maybe I also have the talent in this area! ”

The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed in unison.

The reason that Han Xin said was not explained at all, and what he said was even more said in a joke way to his friends.

So Han Xianyuan didn't take Han Xin's explanation to heart, and said with a smile: "So Brother Han is Zhuge alive, hahahahaha......"

……

"Zhuge is alive? You really look down on him! Bombed in the early morning of the 5th, why didn't he specify what time it was? Alright, Xianyuan, let's study the specific combat policy! ”

"Travel, the ancients often said, it is better to believe it than to believe it, you have to guard against it!" Obviously, Han Xianyuan is still willing to choose to believe in Han Xin.

"Hehe, he's just ...... I underestimated the charm of this 388 regiment leader, you have only been in contact for a few days? That's how you trust him.

In my opinion, this is just nonsense, and the information fed back by our intelligence officers, according to the current marching speed of the little devils, will definitely not reach Nanjing before the 10th.

The little devils bombed Nanjing on the fifth day, which was simply impossible. ”

"Travel, just take precautions, be prepared, and it won't take much effort.

I see that what he said is eloquent and swearing, maybe he really made him right! ”

"That's also blindfolded!"

"Haha, no matter what, I'll let the brothers prepare in advance and hide in the air defense building in the early morning of the 5th!" Han Xianyuan said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you!" Seeing Han Xianyuan's insistence, Zhu Chi still gave him a face.

But when he came, he still sarcastically said: "He really thinks he is Zhuge Liang alive!" Can you pinch or count? Hum! ”

Han Xianyuan smiled bitterly, and then began to prepare.
