Chapter 181: This city is so empty, and this brow is so heavy

--- pay tribute to Zhang Chunru!

The base camp naturally refused the request for additional troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the Nationalist Government on the other side of the river took advantage of this opportunity to transport large quantities of ammunition and food into the city. Fortunately, the transportation was timely, and just after this day, the gunboats of the devils entered the Nanjing River section, and the material connection between Nanjing and the north bank of the Yangtze River was interrupted.

The wounded were sent away, and now, there are only more than 30,000 people in Xiaolu's hands, that is, the city that can accommodate a million people, now there are only these more than 30,000 people stationed, and it seems empty.

Xiaolu asked the base camp to send a small force across the river to attack the enemy's transport lines. The base camp promised to send people to convene a meeting of various units to discuss. When everyone saw the victory of the path, their feelings were complicated, everyone shirked it, and no one wanted to go.

When the officers and men of the garrison found out, they cursed endlessly.

Xiaolu had no choice but to turn to the advance team of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu and ask them for help. The other side replied that we and the guerrillas in the Songhu area had already attacked and harassed the enemy behind the enemy's rear, and that we would do our best to support the defense of Nanjing.

Xiaolu's various actions against the Kuomintang were all announced to ordinary soldiers. For the help of the advance team of the New Fourth Army, it was also announced to ordinary soldiers.

Ordinary soldiers knew that there was a New Fourth Army in Jiangnan attacking behind enemy lines, and the army was a little calmer.

Xiaolu went to a unit almost every night, visited the wounded, and chatted with the fighters. Today, Xiao Lu is an absolute commander in the hearts of all soldiers.

The situation of the officers was more complicated, almost all the commanders of the miscellaneous units had become friends with Xiao Lu, and some of the officers of Chiang's descendants had some opinions about him, because of partisanship, and from a personal point of view, they obeyed Xiao Lu's orders.

Since they learned that the attitude of the high-ranking officers in the base camp towards the defense of Nanjing was uncertain, the attitude of many officers of the subordinate troops towards the government was also shaken. In the past, they knew that they were abandoned, and there was still hope that the principal would not abandon them. Now, the headmaster has really abandoned himself.

The twenty or so guards brought by Xiaolu from Xiuyan suffered almost no casualties, and they are now instructors of various units. The field troops outside the city admired them all. In addition, the regiment that Xiaolu brought from the troop carrier also went to the battlefield several times, and the number of dead and wounded had reached three hundred.

On December 20, the Japanese army began its offensive.

This time, the Japanese gathered the 11th Brigade of the 10th Division, the 114th Division and the 6th Division, plus the remnants of the 3rd Division and the 16th Division, the remnants of the 19th Brigade, for a total of nearly 70,000 men.

In addition, the 13th Division and the 5th Division are also on the way, not far from Nanjing.

In the morning, dozens of planes that took off from the two airports in Guangde and Changzhou flew to Nanjing and bombed the city indiscriminately, and Nanjing began to smoke everywhere and civilian houses caught fire. Several fires had just started and were extinguished by bombs.

The Japanese bombardment lasted for a long time, and after several rounds of bombing, Nanjing was no longer what it looked like, and several important organs were blown up.

Then, the Japanese artillery outside the city began to bombard, and the artillery bombardment was mainly concentrated in a few city gates.

However, no matter how the Japanese bombed, no one appeared on the ground, let alone put out the fire.

After a long period of bombing, the Japanese army prepared to enter Nanjing through several city gates.

When the troops entering the city passed through the Purple Mountain position, they were suddenly hit fiercely. The blow was too sudden and unexpected. Originally, I had reconnoitred, but the position here had been blown up, and no ambush soldiers were found. The vanguard of the city was quickly repulsed.

Three charges were repulsed, and the men in the position retreated into the city.

The same was true of the enemy who entered the city from Yuhuatai, who were attacked at the place where the bodies had been handed over, and after repulsing several charges, the defenders also retreated.

The street fighting has officially begun.

Because the last time they entered the city, they were burned, and the shadows were still there, so the devils who entered the city from the Zhonghua Gate left the road where the fire was last time, and entered the alleys, and they were very vigilant, as long as there was any movement, they would shoot immediately.

A squad of devils went into an alley, saw two people, and before they could shoot, the two people had already fired, their guns were submachine guns, and they knocked down four or five at once, and then they were gone.

The rest of the devils chased after them, and saw that the two had entered a courtyard, and when they pushed the door open, the grenade exploded, not only the door was blown away, but several people were also blown up. The remaining three devils went crazy and rushed into the patio.

There was no one in the patio, three people back to back, searching forward, just took a few steps, and there was a bang a few shots on the opposite side, and three people fell.

Two people walked out of the room, one stepped forward to rummage through the devil's clothes, and the other said, "What did you find?" Hurry up, another devil is coming. ”

The first said: "Here you go, two rings were found." Damn, the commander's tactics are magical. ”

The second took the ring and said, "I'll do it with the commander in the future, don't talk about the money and don't say it, relieve your anger." Get ready to get into the battle position. ”

The two disappeared into the house.

I just heard the gunshots, and another group of devils came. As soon as a dozen people entered the patio, a bullet suddenly shot out of a window, it was a submachine gun, and three or four devils fell.

The remaining devils shot at that window, not noticing that a gun sticking out of the other window, another burst of fire.

There were only four devils left in the courtyard.

The four devils took out the grenade, pulled the safe, and threw it into two rooms. After a few explosions, four devils rushed into the house. The house was blown up and there was no one in sight. After looking for a long time, a devil shouted: "Here, they ran away." ”

The other three people, in the past, saw a back door, and four people entered the back door, which turned out to be a backyard, and there was a courtyard wall in the backyard, and there was a corner gate on the wall.

The four devils rushed towards the corner gate, but they didn't expect two guns sticking out of the corner behind them. All four were killed.

The two men got out from under the broken basket and one said, "Thirteen more were killed." That's enough. ”

Another said: "This guy doesn't seem to be dead, he's still struggling." ”

The first said, "I'll give him a shot." "I took a few steps forward and shot the devil.

The second said, "Search." ”

At this time, the grenade in the devil's hand exploded. Two soldiers were blown up.

The first said, "Damn, this is dead." "I passed out

The second seemed to hear someone shouting, "There are two wounded here." Then he fell unconscious.

At the end of the day, the devil couldn't resist the ubiquitous hidden guns and withdrew from Nanjing.

Xiao Lu was relieved to know that the devil was retreating. He was very concerned about the casualties of the troops, and immediately ordered the statistics, and after a while, the numbers came up. The losses of our army were minimal, less than a hundred. The enemy is not familiar with the terrain, and if he is familiar with it in the future, I am afraid that our casualties will be large.

Xiaolu issued the No. 33 battle report: "After a day of fierce fighting, our troops have annihilated 3,400 enemies into the city, and the enemy has been driven out of Nanjing City. The losses of our department are huge. Tribute to the martyrs. The Chinese will never give in. ”
