Chapter Eighty-Seven: Operation Wolf Hunt (I)
This defensive battle was the most brutal day, from morning to evening, until dark the Japanese army did not stop the attack, ** on this day casualties reached more than 50,000, the Japanese casualties also more than 10,000, many generals who held the foreign defense line in Nanjing sent telegrams for help like snowflakes into the headquarters.
Jiang Jieshi was also anxious to move around the headquarters, he had already approved Rommel's plan, no matter what, he had to hold on to this day, even if there was only one person left on the position, he could not retreat, and whoever dared to retreat would be shot immediately, regardless of the size of the official position.
The strong men, militia groups, and police around Nanjing were all sent to the front line, and one wave of people fought out, and another wave of people immediately replenished them, not rushing, and the machine guns of the supervision team behind them were directly beaten into a sieve, and some Chinese people were afraid of death, and eventually they would die under the guns of their own people, and the battle was fought to this extent, and they could only fill it with human lives.
First of all, it is the duty of every countryman to protect the family and the country, but to send the strong men who have not undergone the slightest training to the battlefield immediately is basically equivalent to sending them to death. The result was that there was a problem with the government's military service system, and there was no qualified supplementary soldier after the war was damaged, and the desperate Nationalist Government could only arrest the strong men.
The most difficult day has passed, and Jiang Jieshi, whose heart is in his throat, still can't rest assured.
……
At two o'clock in the evening on June 25, 1938, the Nanjing University Campus was as usual, with loud voices and neighing cars and horses, and the Flying Eagle Regiment began to conduct armed training at night, with tens of thousands of people conducting armed training. The movement is very big, not to mention that there are countless trucks, hundreds of armored vehicles and tanks, the citizens of Nanjing sleeping in the bed, can clearly feel that the bed is shaking slightly, everyone has become accustomed to it, the Flying Eagle Regiments in the school field have to carry out armed training every night, all the citizens of Nanjing hear this sound but sleep more steadily, this is like the gospel of God! Even the grocery store lady didn't pay attention to the noise.
The human voices gradually faded away with the roar of the tank, and the "wolf hunt" officially began. This time, the Flying Eagle Regiment was all dispatched, and all the soldiers in these two days of training only mastered the German version of the tactical password fifty, and they were familiar with the P35 submachine gun in their hands, and the Mauser 98K was basically the same as the Chinese official, so there was no need to be familiar, all the Chinese soldiers knew their commanders, and there was no problem from the regiment to the battalion. As for the tanks and armored vehicles, they were all operated by the Germans, and the trucks and motorcycles were basically Chinese soldiers.
The Flying Eagle Legion, which has just been formed, has only been trained for just two days, and whether it can fight or not, Rommel and Li Mo have no bottom in their hearts, but now the extremely dangerous situation is forcing the Flying Eagle Legion to fight, so the first battle is a crucial battle, and it must be won all, otherwise a defeated army is a soulless army, and such a force is useless.
Rommel's battle plan was arranged as follows: The first step was to set out from Daxiaochang at two o'clock in the evening tonight, march 80 kilometers overnight, and rush to the front of Jurong City, and must reach the attack position at eight o'clock tomorrow morning; if the infantry walked on their legs, it would be impossible for the infantry to reach a speed of 12 kilometers per hour, let alone a continuous rapid march for six hours, which was also the reason why the Japanese spies were not afraid of the Flying Eagle Regiment's secret position.
The Flying Eagle Corps is fully mechanized, and the 101st Armored Division commanded by Li Mo has 510 cars, 1,300 three-wheeled motorcycles, 96 armored vehicles, and 1,400 horse-drawn carriages (other ** units are responsible for this transportation task. The mobility of the other two mechanized infantry divisions is also not weak, a total of 2 armored vehicles, 530 motorcycles, 394 cars, 536 carriages, all the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Legion, when fully armed, can be transported all at once, including can carry five base ammunition, it is not a problem to maintain three weeks of fierce fighting, it can be said that the Flying Eagle Legion is a soldier sitting on the wheels of a car, Li Mo They can march slowly. Of course, mechanized troops also have disadvantages, and they can't sneak around the Japanese army quietly and then launch a sudden onslaught, and such a huge mechanized force basically cannot.
Step 2: The 103rd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Flying Eagle Corps entered the position of the 74th Army at dawn and took over the defense of the 74th Army, the 102nd Mechanized Infantry Division attacked from the left flank of the defense line and attacked the Japanese Sixth Division in front of it, and the 101st Armored Division commanded by Li Mo attacked from the right flank and penetrated directly into the rear of the Japanese First Division.
Rommel was more ambitious in this campaign, and he planned to eat the elite divisions of the Japanese army as soon as he came up, and it is still unknown whether Rommel's plan will be broken by a few big teeth. However, this plan was very bold and even a bit risky, and Chiang Jieshi did not agree to it, but Rommel took out the treaty signed by Chiang Jieshi and said that in the end, Chiang Jieshi had to agree to Rommel's battle plan.
In order to take the outer defense line of Nanjing as soon as possible, Matsui Shigen scattered his troops very widely and divided them into six routes to attack, one division on each road, and the remaining two divisions and two detachments were on standby in Changzhou as reserves. The six routes attacked the Nanjing defensive line, and each road was separated by a distance of 20 to 30 kilometers, which means that there was a gap of 20 to 30 kilometers between the divisions of the Japanese army.
Under such circumstances, the Flying Eagle Corps can basically be easily interspersed in place, and the frontal width of each division of the Japanese army is about three kilometers, and the depth is ten kilometers, which is 20 square kilometers, only more than 20,000 Japanese troops, and less than 1 Japanese army per square kilometer. The Japanese army is not stupid, including the old devil Matsui Ishone, who is also a cunning and cunning villain, why did the Japanese army appear in such a formation, purely because the Japanese army did not take ** into their eyes at all, they thought that even if they gave ** 10,000 guts, those ** would not dare to jump out of the defensive line to attack them.
**If you want to eat a division of the Japanese army, it is basically impossible, even if it is possible, it will take at least ten days, and the nearest Japanese army is thirty kilometers away, and the Japanese army will not eat the Japanese army at that time, but you will be dumplings by the Japanese army. ** That weapon, even if he is given a big courage, he will not dare to make such a battle arrangement, it is purely an act of seeking death.
When the Flying Eagle Legion marched to fifty kilometers, the whole army stopped, and the order given above was to rest on the spot, and all the ** soldiers still don't know that they are going to fight, this battle is strictly confidential, that is, there can be no mistakes, even if it is a high-level of the Republic of China, it is only a few extremely core personnel to know.
Some of the soldiers rested on the trucks, some found a random ridge, wrapped themselves in blankets and began to sleep, and all the equipment of the Flying Eagle Regiment was all the standard equipment of the German army, even the blankets. The Flying Eagle Legion is here, of course, for a reason......
