Chapter 90: A Crowd of Defeated Soldiers
The Japanese army launched an attack on all fronts, and the battle plan for breaking through to Nanjing was formulated by Matsui Tokine, a general of the Central China Front, without the permission of the Japanese military headquarters, and now, the battle line has been fully rolled out, and under the pressure of the military headquarters, Matsui Ishine had to make a military order to the Japanese military headquarters to completely occupy the entire East China battlefield within a month, and take Nanjing.
Not only did they deploy a large number of troops in Nanjing, but they also ordered Tang Shengzhi to be the commander and comprehensively carry out preparations for the defense of Nanjing.
And on the periphery of Nanjing, Jiangyin and Changzhou are the countries of the country. The military defense line is the most important thing on the entire front.
Country. Admiral Chen Shaokuan, Army Commander Liu Xing, and hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides of the Japanese Third and Fourth Fleets and the Army's 13th Division launched the Battle of Jiangyin, which lasted for several months.
The Japanese fleet began to swim upstream from the Yangtze River, intending to attack the country held in the Shanghai Battlefield through the Yangtze River. Army flanks.
A large number of national defense warships were forced to sink into the Yangtze River, forming a blockade line to lock the Yangtze River, so that the large Japanese warships could not go along the Yangtze River according to the predetermined plan, and directly attacked the inland.
At the end of October, Shanghai completely fell, the Japanese army advanced from Zhejiang and Jiangsu, and the front line of Jiangyin and Changzhou was also in danger!
In the early morning of November 11, there was heavy fog.
Three bombers of the weak Chinese Air Force took off from Nanjing, and went out to sea to bomb the Japanese fleet in the fog.
At the last moment, the two fighter pilots braved the death of the fighter plane and crashed into the Japanese aircraft carrier Longxiang, and died heroically, and the swagger on the fighter exploded violently, directly destroying more than a dozen fighters on the deck, and the aircraft carrier Longxiang was also severely damaged and seriously damaged, and had to return to the Japanese mainland for repairs.
The attack on the Longxiang made the Japanese Admiralty angry, and ordered several destroyers to go up the river, intending to sneak attack, and the chief training officer Ma Buxiang led the Shi 181 speedboat down the Jiangyin, and met the Japanese army head-on on the Jinji Port River in the early morning of the 13th!
The fog is all over the sky, the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong men will not return.
The speedboat is against the destroyer, and the enemy is outnumbered, and the firepower is not at the same level at all, but the speedboat has a speed advantage, and the original Shi 181 boat has enough time to escape.
"Now that the national disaster is at the head, my generation of soldiers should fight to the death!"
All the officers and men were not afraid in the face of the absolute superiority of the Japanese army, Ma Buxiang gave an order, all the torpedoes were fired at the first time, with the intention of inflicting heavy damage on the Japanese fleet at the first time, but unfortunately, perhaps the ancient China should have such a catastrophe, the torpedo was blocked by the reef, and the success fell short!
The accurate artillery fire of the Japanese army covered the No. 181 boat in the first time, and the hull of the ship was heavily damaged and entered the water, and the situation was critical, and the only way to escape was to dock as soon as possible!
"In the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, General Deng Shichang said, my generation served in the army for the country, and put life and death out of the way, today, I and all my colleagues will follow the example of the sages and thank the country with death - go full speed and kill them for me!"
With an order, all the crew members except for the wheel crew boarded the deck and rushed to think of the Japanese ship with the ship in the dense artillery fire!
The artillery fire exploded on the deck, the entire ship was in flames, I don't know how many people were torn apart by the artillery fire, but everyone was fearless, they stared at the blood-red eyes, and wanted to see that they had sunk the Japanese battleship at the last moment before they died, then they would have no regrets!
The Japanese battleship was in a mess, turned around in a hurry, and actually collided with its own battleship, causing one of the destroyers to run aground!
"Hahaha, so you're also afraid of death!"
All the officers and men laughed wildly in the flames, and when they saw that they were about to crash into a Japanese warship, a large number of Japanese fighters arrived and took turns to bomb and bomb, and the entire river was covered with artillery fire.
The Shi No. 181 ship sank less than 200 meters away from the Japanese warship, and none of the officers and men survived!
On the 14th, the 13th Division of the Japanese Army attacked the area of the Liuhe River in Taicang, and the **** soldiers who were broken had no intention of fighting at all, and the soldiers were defeated like a mountain, Taicang fell, and a large number of troops withdrew to the Jiangyin line, and were chased and killed by the Japanese army all the way, I don't know how many people died!
The Japanese army is on land and water, and the soldiers are pointing directly at the front line of Jiangyin and Changzhou!
In this land, you can see a country that is like a lost dog. Army, they have long been scattered, the army is discouraged, there is no combat effectiveness at all, and it even makes people feel that even if a wild dog appears, they can chase dozens or hundreds of them all over the mountain.
"Stop!"
With a low roar, Lu Yuan clenched his fists, and the entire team members all scattered and lay down, staring at the front.
A few hundred meters ahead, there were several fires, fifty or sixty people. The army was huddling together to keep warm, and the look on his face was the same as that of all the defeated troops, confused, depressed and decadent.
"It's your own people!" Yang Zongman said.
"If only I could subdue them!"
The Monkey Spirit King said excitedly, the entire refugee team is eight or nine hundred people, but the Sichuan army company is only more than eighty people, more than eighty guns, to protect them through this area safely, the number of soldiers, naturally the more the better.
"They just want to escape, they just want to live, and it's not necessarily all good to take them in!" Yang Zongman is old and serious in the end.
Niu Pimple's face was full of resentment that iron could not be made of steel: "We are all so close, they haven't found out yet, and this vigilance is too bad - there are Japanese soldiers everywhere, and they dare to make fires?" So many people spent the night in this uncovered place, and they didn't even leave the scouts who were in charge of the night. ”
This new recruit, after following Lu for a long time, has now become a veteran with rich combat experience.
"Let's go, let's talk about it!"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stood up, slapped his face and said loudly: "In front is the brother of that unit, don't shoot, we are the Sichuan army, and our own people ......"
At the moment when they clapped their hands, the dozens of nationals. The army was in a mess after a while, busy with guns, and some of them lay down with strange screams, like pheasants who were chased and ignored, but when they heard that it was their own people, they instantly relaxed, paralyzed into a ball like mud, and continued to roast the fire to keep warm, and they didn't even have the interest of coming over to personally check the identities of Lu Yuan and others.
"What a bunch of rubbish!"
The big dog and bear scolded stupidly to vent his dissatisfaction, and he didn't remember that during the First World War in Shanghai, they were not even as good as waste.
The faces of Yang Zongman and the others were also ugly, and after following the road for a long time, they found that they couldn't help but get angry when they saw these soldiers who had no fighting spirit now.
