Section 10 Retreat III
The attack of the ** team suddenly became crazy, dozens of heavy artillery concentrated attack squadrons opened the gap from the southwest corner and entered the Japanese defense circle, Ushijima was a little desperate, the new troop number appeared in the attack group, and the outer positions were shaken on the whole line. \.qβ5、Com(
In the dark, the Chinese continued to pour into the position, the defenders were obviously unable to counterattack them from the position, bazookas, mortars, grenades, set the night on fire, the fire was full, the explosions sounded in strings, and the improvised fortifications built by the Japanese were blown to pieces.
The loss of one position after another, reports of defeat kept coming, the commander of the engineer wing Noguchi was killed, the commander of the Obaofu brigade was killed, and the commander of the Tezuka brigade was seriously injured.
But the Chinese did not stop attacking this time, but became even more crazy, Ushijima could not hold on, and even called Gu Shoufu to get in touch as soon as possible.
Tani Toshio was deeply humiliated by the failure to open the passage for several days, and now the strict orders of Ushijima and Matsui Ishone, and the supervision of Yanagawa Heisuke, have made him also let go. Concentrate on the onslaught, the captain personally led the team to charge, and the artillery fire plowed the entire position, Lan Yundong and Zhang Lihui knew that whether they could annihilate Ushijima and Suesong depended on this day, and the two of them guarded in sections, and strictly ordered not to retreat.
Gu Shoufu's impact was like an angry wave, hitting Lan Yundong's defense line wave after wave. From the boundary card to the ancestral hill, the flames of war burned the entire field. For a whole day, the fierce fighting did not stop, from dawn to night. Tani only advanced five hundred meters.
Ushijima was almost desperate, one day, the outer positions were lost, the squadron broke into the ancestral hill twice, although it was counterattacked, but the troops suffered heavy casualties, Ushijima counted the troops, there were more than 3,000 people left, including a large number of wounded.
"Burn the flag." Ushijima gave a heavy order, he knew that he would definitely not be able to survive tomorrow, and even an attack like today's squadron would not even survive tonight.
Watching the military flag turn to ashes in the firelight, "Long live the Emperor!" "Bang" An officer fell on his back, Ushijima silently looked at his body, despair spread among the Japanese army, the wail of the wounded soldiers in the distance was faintly heard, and all the Japanese soldiers were preparing for the final battle.
In the middle of the night, the whole line near the goose pond wharf outside Changxing City was under martial law, and a large group of Japanese troops got off the ship, and then drove away in the dark distance without stopping.
"The Cultural Revolution is urgent. Ordered us to withdraw from the battle. Nanking has already begun to retreat. Sun Zhen was extremely disappointed. Fight day and night. But he still failed to attack the ancestral hill.
"Damn!" Du Yuming couldn't help but scold. He easily rushed to the battlefield. As a result, after only one day and one night, he could only withdraw from the battlefield. This makes it very unwilling. And after this day and night fighting. He was also dissatisfied with Sun Zhendi's command. He believed that Sun Zhen did not organize his firepower and troops well. There was not a full swing of firepower and superiority in troops.
"Let's fight one more day." Fan Hanjie was also unwilling. Disappointment hung over the hearts of the people.
He spoke very harshly. Look at it. Sun Zhen handed the telegram to Du Yuming. Du Yuming glanced at it hurriedly. The telegram was short. But the tone was very stern: "You have lost your chance. Japanese reinforcements have arrived. After the 5th Division conquered Jintan. Attack Lishui. Apparently going to the ground for you; There was no trace of the 10th Division. It is likely that the Taihu Lake will strike. You must withdraw from the fight tonight. Return to Guangde. And ready to. The Sixty Army was responsible for the break. Stick to Guangde. Cover the withdrawal of the 58th Army and the 101st Army to Xuanzhou. To Wuhu to cross the river and retreat to the north of the river. Xue Yue has built a bridge in Wuhu. It must be done now! Be sure to!!!! ”
Fan Hanjie took the telegram. Haven't seen it yet. Zhuang Jihuadi's second telegram arrived. Urging them to get out of the battle at once. Sun Zhen sighed. The disappointment was palpable.
In the middle of the night, the ** squadron withdrew from the battle one after another. The ground fire on the ground still flickered. But there was silence. However, the Japanese army in the ancestral hill suddenly took action. Ushijima received a telegram from Matsuichi. The 10th Division has landed in Changxing. It is driving towards Si'an overnight. The Fifth Division was moving south across the Lishui. Ordered to drag the squadron. Waiting for reinforcements to join in.
After receiving the telegram, Ushijima almost scolded and dragged them down, he still has less than 2,000 capable combat troops, how can he hold back the squadron, although the 10th Division can arrive tomorrow, but the 5th Division still needs at least two days, can he hold it for two days? It's ridiculous.
However, Ushijima still sent hundreds of people to try to attack the position of the squadron, and then they were resolutely attacked by the squadron, and the Japanese army hurriedly retreated to the town.
After this battle, Ushijima was reluctant to move, and he judged that the squadron was resting after a day and a night of fighting, and did not know that the 10th Division had arrived.
But in the second half of the night, all disappeared from the vicinity of the ancestral hill, and the squadron that was blocked by the boundary card also crossed the river through the small machine room one after another and retreated to Guangde.
"Compatriots, tonight I ordered a retreat and abandoned Nanjing, and the defense of Nanjing, which lasted for more than a month, is over.
In the First Battle of Nanjing, we demonstrated to the world our determination to resist aggression, and we shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army.
On the southern front, we wiped out more than 50,000 Japanese troops, killed two Japanese generals, and completely crushed the two main divisions of the Japanese army, the 18th and 114th divisions.
On the northern front, five Japanese divisions were inflicted heavy losses on us, and they also wiped out 50,000 to 60,000 of them, causing them to retreat and increase their troops.
In the entire Battle of Nanjing, we wiped out 100,000 Japanese troops, which was a great victory. We proved to the world that we are fully capable of defeating the Japanese!
Nanjing is just the beginning, in the future they will also be hit! China's land will never allow aggression to run rampant! Endless failures await them!
Compatriots, the abandonment of Nanjing is not a defeat, but the beginning of a victory! Today they will enter Nanjing, and tomorrow we will enter Tokyo. It's a tortuous road, but eventually we'll come to the end!
The situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak has not fundamentally changed, and our strategy is to continue to consume the Japanese army, drag them into the quagmire of a long-term war, and constantly consume them; And we are slowly turning from weak to strong, and the final victory must be ours! I'm sure of that!
The reinforcements of the Japanese army have arrived, the goal of defending Nanjing and consuming the enemy has been accomplished, and it would be a senseless sacrifice to continue to hold on, so I decided to retreat from Nanjing, this decision was made by me, and I take full responsibility.
Compatriots, the War of Resistance will not end with the abandonment of Nanjing, and the Japanese are advancing step by step along the route we have given him, on which they will continue to be consumed until the last drop of their blood is shed. ”
Lin Yueying looked at the "Letter to the Compatriots of the Whole Country for Abandoning Nanjing" on the fire, and it was thrilling for more than a month, from great sorrow to great joy to loss, and the two divisions that were surrounded were finally still
It's a shame. But now when he saw this leaflet, he felt that the Japanese army had disappeared in this battle, and it was worth giving up Nanjing!
But this time it was completely different from the Songhu retreat, everything was in order, she was now working in the hospital, the field hospital of the 49th Group Army, the hospital began to retreat first, and the 24th Group Army was still holding its position in front.
"Lin Yueying," Lin Yueying looked up and saw Mei Youlan's smiling face. Mei Youlan looked Lin Yueying up and down, and shook her head: "It's really you," she said and sighed: "This military uniform is too ugly, it doesn't fit at all." ”
Lin Yueying got up and straightened her military uniform, she smiled: "If you don't have a suitable military uniform, you will give one set at random, and then give another one after waiting for the rear." By the way, why haven't you left yet? ”
"My eldest brother hasn't left yet, I'll go with him." Mei Youlan had a trace of sadness on her face, for more than a month, she had been staying in Nanjing, and she couldn't get away, so Zhuang Jihua had to ask Lian Xiaosen to accompany her to interview in Nanjing. However, Zhuang Jihua was too busy to see her at all, but he had seen her twice during the time when the Japanese army retreated.
"When is he leaving? I heard that some people from the headquarters have already crossed the river. Lin Yueying said.
"My eldest brother won't run first," Mei Youlan was keenly aware of what Lin Yueying meant, and it was not uncommon for a general to leave his troops and run first: "He was guarding by the pontoon bridge, but Deputy Commander Jiang had already led some of the personnel of the headquarters across the river." ”
Lin Yueying's mouth curled slightly, she didn't speak, and stayed by the bridge, isn't that just about to run.
Mei Youlan didn't notice Lin Yueying's expression: "Moon Shadow, when are you leaving?" ”
"Come on, when this group of wounded is sent away, we will retreat."
Mei Youlan nodded indiscriminately: "I'll go to Yuhuatai to have a look, I won't disturb you." ”
Soon after Mei Youlan left, an officer ran to the hospital to convey the order of the headquarters, the hospital immediately retreated, and the headquarters guard regiment sent a battalion to assist them in carrying the wounded, even if they continued to send them back, the field hospital ground wounded more than 5,000 people, the last group was also more than 800 people, soldiers and members of the ambulance team carried the wounded and walked towards the river gate.
Arrived at the river gate, the long pontoon bridge across the two banks, the pontoon bridge was crowded, approached but now everything was in order, waiting for the troops to cross the river stood quietly by the bridge, the troops on the bridge quickly went to the opposite bank, a team of trucks dragging heavy artillery was preparing to go to the bridge.
"Hospitals? Where is the dean? "A colonel came to stop them, and the dean hurried over.
"There is an order, leave a team of doctors and nurses, and cross the river immediately."
"What's going on?" The dean was a little confused, how could the order become so fast.
"There are also brothers in the back, and the hospital has to leave a part, seeing that there is no there," the colonel pointed to a car parked nearby, "I will leave it for you, and when the time comes, you will get in the car, and a few minutes will pass." ”
The dean turned to look at the doctors and nurses around him helplessly: "Doctor Wang, Doctor Lu, Doctor Wei, the three of you stay with me, as for... The dean was hesitating to keep the nurses.
Lin Yueying stepped forward: "Dean, I'll stay." ”
"You?" The dean was still hesitating, the girl shouldn't stay at this time.
"It's okay, I'm a medical school graduate and can work as a nurse." Lin Yueying said.
The dean nodded in agreement, and received Lin Yueying's inspiration, and more than a dozen nurses stayed, and then the colonel came over and said, "Don't worry, Commander Zhuang didn't leave either, you see, over there, the commander is over there." ”
Lin Yueying turned her head and saw that fifty or sixty meters away from the pontoon bridge, hundreds of soldiers with submachine guns in their hands surrounded the pontoon bridge ferry in a semicircle, and all the troops who did not have their turn were waiting outside the semicircle.
"Commander, spare me, I'm wounded!" Several soldiers dragged an officer towards the river like a wolf, but the figure he was pleading for did not move.
"Commander, I'm wounded, Commander."
"This is a regimental commander, who abandoned his brothers and ran away on his own, and was found out here, and this kind of person is shot on the spot. All pontoon points were guarded by men from the General Headquarters, and the officers were shot alone, or with only a few guards. The colonel explained.
"Smack." With a crisp gunshot, the figure of the person by the river fell into the water, but all the soldiers looked at the somewhat lonely figure with reverence.
This small field hospital was set up next to the Yujiang Gate, and after a while, dozens of wounded people came over, and the sky gradually brightened, Lin Yueying looked at the white sky, not only a little worried, what if the Japanese plane came, this worry is not only there, but others also have it.
Zhuang Jihua looked at the troops gathered in Yujiangmen, turned his head and said: "Speed up, tell the air defense regiment to prepare for air defense, contact the air force, and let them prepare to cover us." ”
"Yes." Xiao Shanling, the commander of the real ferry command gendarme, replied that their military police were responsible for guarding the vicinity of Jiangmen, and after the retreat began, each ferry was taken over by the headquarters.
The speed of crossing the river was markedly accelerated, and after the sky was bright, the Japanese planes arrived as scheduled, and the antiaircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on both sides of the strait immediately opened fire, forming a fire net, and the Japanese planes rushed through the fire net, and two Japanese planes smoked into the river, but the other Japanese planes dropped bombs, and the water column on the river was stirred, and a bomb was hit in the middle of the pontoon bridge, and the sappers rushed up to repair it in the face of the artillery.
This pontoon bridge is very strong, only one bomb point is impossible to completely blow up the pontoon, the pontoon bridge is not connected by two, but seven or eight boats, tied together at the same time, one boat is blown up, just pull this boat, and then fill in another boat, the whole process is only half an hour.
"How many times has this been." Xiao Shanling looked at the busy figures of the sappers and said bitterly that the pontoon bridge had already been erected, and it was not the first time that the Japanese planes had bombed it, and the proficiency of the sappers in maintenance had increased rapidly.
Zhuang Jihua didn't answer, just looked at his watch from time to time, but in his heart he was calculating how many troops there were on the front line and when the Japanese army would arrive.
"Report, the commander of the 05th Division Liang called, near Moling Pass, the current Japanese troops, the number is unknown."
