Section 8 Nanjing, Nanjing VII

The third part of the Speculators of the Republic of China, the first chapter of the Bloody War of Resistance, the eighth section of the Battle of Nanjing, Nanjing. The whole Nanjing

Yuan Quan ordered that the 277th Regiment of the Caoqiao defenders must defend Caoqiao for one day. He led the troops directly under the legion to Qianhuang. Along the way, bad news came one after another.

The main force of the 48th Division, which drove to the north shore of Taihu Lake, did not have time to retreat. Isolated behind the Japanese front. is retreating to Panjia Town. Division commander Xu Jiwu reported losing control of the troops. He couldn't find Yang Shaodong and Guo. At present, he is leading the troops directly under the division to make a detour to Yang Village, west of Panjia Town, to Qianhuang.

Xu Yuanquan didn't have time to respond. Worse news came. The 6th Division attacked fiercely. The 287th Regiment of the Caoqiao garrison fought hard for half a day. The head of the regiment, Zhao Ihua, was killed. None of the regiments survived. Cao Qiao stubbornly defended.

Xu Yuanquan's eyes suddenly froze. The former Huang defenders had only one company of defenders. In addition, there is a baggage battalion with very weak combat effectiveness. Such strength. The 6th Division could have gone down with one blow.

"Legion Commander. Qianhuang seems to be unable to hold on. Chief of Staff Ma Dengying caught up with Xu Yuanquan and reminded. Madden has always been Xu Yuanquan's deputy. From the 48th Division to the commander of the 10th Army. He is the deputy division commander and deputy army commander. When forming the Second Legion. Xu Yuanquan did not let him be the deputy commander. Rather, he served as Chief of Staff

Xu Yuanquan reined in his horse and turned his head and said, "Then what should I do?" Guo Xun has just arrived in Wujin. The troops have not yet been deployed. If Gu Shoufu is allowed to pounce on Wujin City. The consequences are unpredictable. ”

"Block them in Nanxia Villa. Ordered Xu Jiwu. Inform Guo Xun of this arrangement. The Japanese moved too fast. There is an error in the deployment above. We can't complain about it. Ma Dengying's meaning is very clear. is to tell Guo Xun. They may not be able to withstand two days: "Even if we rush to Qianhuang." I'm afraid that Qianhuang has also been lost. In this way, we had to stop the Japanese army without preparation. ”

Leave everything but strong weapons and ammunition behind. Xu Yuanquan raised his horsewhip after speaking. ** of the horse galloped briskly.

Qianhuang's situation was beyond Xu Quan's expectations. The defending company commander and the commander of the baggage battalion did not escape, and they led their troops to resist desperately in Qianhuang. Most of the town is still fighting to the death. Successfully dragged the Japanese army for two hours. Guo, commander of the 144th Brigade, led a battalion of troops to rush into Qianhuang. Pick up the remnants of the defenders. Then the resistance continued in West Bay.

Gu Shoufu was very dissatisfied with the progress of the troops. It's been a whole day. Unexpectedly, before he reached Wujin City, he divided his troops into three routes and continued to attack along the front Huang all the way. The other road is diagonally inserted to the Zhengping Temple Bridge, and the third road is to attack Panjia Town. to support the flanks of the division.

The next day. Tani Shofu followed the attack. But suddenly found that the enemy army in front of him had disappeared, and the passing army that had stubbornly resisted in the West Bay had disappeared. Masahei didn't take it down without a single shot. But in the Pan family, they met with stubborn resistance. Then news came from the Front. The 23rd Brigade conquered the retreat to the sun; It seems that the adjustment of the squadron is also very fast. Gu Shoufu muttered in his heart.

Gu Shoufu didn't know that his landing in Zhou Tie had terrified Zhuang Jihua. But he went north to attack Wujin, but Zhuang Jihua celebrated with his forehead.

The strings of the Seventy-fourth Army were already too tight. If Gu Shoufu advances westward to Yixing, the 74th Army may be surrounded again. After receiving the report of Jishi. Jihua's first reaction was that the 74th Army immediately retreated. But then came news from Guo Xun. The Japanese army attacked Caoqiao. In this way, the movement of the 6th Division is basically clear.

The Seventy-fourth Army escaped. That night, it quickly withdrew from Yixing, turned to the sun, and the 23rd Brigade followed the pursuit. The 74th Army continued to retreat in the direction of Wawu Mountain northwest of Yangyang.

Ueno Kamepu commanded the main force of the 23rd Regiment to continue the attack on the water. The morale of the whole army was high. It is possible that they were the first to storm the Chinese capital, and the emperor * will forever be recorded in the annals of the empire.

The problem in front of Zhuang Jihua was that the attack of the Sixth Division was like a stinger embedded deep in the flank of the Xicheng line. If you can't repel Tani Toshio. Then you have to retreat from the Xicheng line. And fast.

However, it is very dangerous to retreat from the Xicheng Line. The Japanese offensive on the Xicheng Line was very fierce. Front-line troops are fighting fiercely. Both sides held their breath. Either side slackened slightly. It was immediately devastating. The Japanese army will rush to the city of Nanjing in one fell swoop.

Zhuang Jihua sat on a chair. A chair was sat by him in reverse. Hold the back of the chair with both hands. Blood-red eyes staring at the figure. Silk didn't care about the officers who came in and out around her. From time to time, Fu often marked the latest battle situation on the map. Jiang Baili sat on the side of Zhuang Ji's back sand table. Looking at the sand table. His expression remained unhurried. Elegant and elegant.

"Tani's progress is so fast. Xu Yuanquan only resisted most of the day in Xiashu. Chief of Staff Ma Deng, commander of the 144th Brigade Guo was wounded. Tonight, Gu Shoufu will be able to fight Wujin City. Fu Chang put the sand table on the Nanxia Villa to the top of the banner. Replaced with a sun flag representing the Japanese army. Then he turned his head to Zhuang Jihua: "Cultural Revolution." Withdraw your troops. Don't go again. On the Xicheng line, the main force of our army may be encircled. ”

Zhuang Jihua still didn't speak or look back. According to the figure of staring closely. But Zili kept calculating. Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou Lan was a little anxious. He gasped: "Commander." Troops should be withdrawn from the Xicheng Line immediately. If Gu Shoufu turns to Lijia Luoyang, then cut off the Beijing Railway. The defenders of our Xicheng line are in danger."

"Then why did he enter Wujin?" Long. Zhuang Jihua said slowly. His voice was a little hoarse and tired.

Zhou Lan was stunned. It stands to reason that even Gu Shoufu can't see this. Matsui Ishine and the Japanese base camp are also not visible. I am afraid he will not believe it himself.

"There is only one explanation. Fight for merit. Zhuang Ji's voice was still unhurried. If only listen to his voice. I must have thought that he was as calm as Jiang Baili. But in fact, he now has no proper appearance as a commander. The whole person was lying on the back of the chair. The top is half unflopped. The military coat was half-draped over the shoulders.

"The Japanese are just as meritorious." Jiang Baili cast a glance of appreciation at Zhuang Jihua's back. Faced with this situation, another general - gave the order to retreat. But he was still looking for loopholes in the Japanese army: "The utilitarian interests of the Japanese are heavier than ours. Be the first general to storm the Chinese capital. It will go down in history. For the sake of this honor. The Japanese generals were already fighting openly and covertly. The twenty-third brigade desperately attacked the water. Instead of copying Guangde from the north, this is also the reason. ”

"What is the establishment of the twenty-third brigade?" , Jihua suddenly interrupted Jiang Baili's words.

"The 18th Division was formed in Kurume on September 9 this year. It's a division of the second type. The cavalry brigade of the 23rd Brigade and the 18th Division, under the jurisdiction of two wings, should be strengthened to them. other

Artillery wing. Two teams of more than 7,000 plus cavalry artillery. Total multiple. Zhou Lan was a little strange. Zhuang Ji should have known about these situations a long time ago.

"More than 10,000 people?" Zhuang Jihua muttered to himself: "That's the number of people when they set off in Japan." Played for more than a month. There should be a thousand fewer people. Nine thousand people could not be more. ”

"What? Cultural revolution. Want to hit his mind? Jiang Baili heard Zhuang Jihua's voice and asked with interest.

Fu Chang and Zhou Lan were puzzled. What is the idea of fighting the 23rd Brigade? The current focus is on the tin line. How to remove the main force on the tin line?

"The Cultural Revolution. Tell me what you think? It's been half a day. It's time to come up with an idea. Fu Chang's heart was actually extremely anxious, the battle situation changed too quickly. Once the troops on the Xicheng line are finished. Defending Nanjing is just an empty word.

"The Xicheng line must be retreated. But it can't be completely withdrawn. Zhuang Jihua turned around to look at them. The spirit suddenly became full: "Jiangyin Fortress must be held." Ordered Liu Xing to hold the Jiangyin fortress. Slowing down the westward advance of the Japanese army. In particular, to intercept the advance of the Japanese navy towards Nanjing. ”

"The second order is that Guo Xun must be in Wujin for at least five days. Within five days, if Wu Jin is lost. He didn't have to come back.

Third. The 87th Division retreated overnight. retreat to Nanjing; Fourth. ordered the 47th Army to withdraw to Danyang, and immediately built fortifications, telling Li Jiayu to prepare to hold Danyang for three days; Fifth. The defense area left by the 47th Army was taken over by the 20th Army; The 6th ordered the 83rd Army to enter Zhenjiang. Do a good job of sticking to Zhenjiang; Seventh. The 32nd Division of the 1st Division of the 1st Army was ordered to immediately cross the river and enter Nanjing. The headquarters of the First Army remained in Pukou; Eighth. Order Lan Yundong's entire division to secretly leave the Xuanwu Gate tonight. to Jurong. After that, head south to Tennoji Temple and stand by. ”

Zhuang Jihua gave eight orders in one breath. Let the staff officers on standby be a little scrambling; Fu Chang still understands Zhuang Jihua's previous orders. Jiangyin Fortress and Zhenjiang Fortress were both important routes to blockade Nanjing. As long as these two fortresses are in. It would have been impossible for the Japanese army to land in Nanjing along the Yangtze River.

What Fu Chang didn't understand was why he wanted to let Lan Yun Dongshi go to Tianwang Temple at this time. If the 101st Army is Zhuang Jihua's descendant troops. Then the Lanyun East Division is the descendant of the lineage. His base is the Guard. It is the department of Zhuang Jihua's hand training. It is a model unit of the Southwestern Ministries. The combat effectiveness is the strongest among the units in the southwest.

"The Cultural Revolution. As long as Guo Xun holds Wujin. There is no danger on the Tennoji side. Fu Chang reminded. He meant that Tennoji was in danger. It's that the king of heaven is not important. There is no need for Lan Yundong to guard.

"Shingo. Tennoji is in danger. But. If Sun Zhen can hold back the main force of the Japanese army on the southern front in Guangde. The Japanese army on the northern front can block the line of Danyang, Jintan and Zhenjiang. The twenty-third brigade is in danger. Jiang Baili threw out a sentence lightly.

Chang was about to look at the situation map. Zhuang Jihua spoke: "Little Japan is too rampant. Divide the troops into three ways and copy me, and the back road is just a matter of falling. But just one brigade wanted to attack Nanjing. This is also too deceitful. Teach them a lesson. Don't be too arrogant in the future. Act carefully. We're also less troublesome. ”

"You want to annihilate the 23rd Brigade?" Fu Chang's expression became solemn. The war has been waged until now. Except for the small victory of the Communist Party in Pingxingguan. The other units have yet to play a decent victory. Townenburg fights at the south exit. Despite the elimination of thousands of Japanese troops. But in the end, he still lost the south exit. It is still a defeat; Wei Lihuang battlehead. Victory was on the horizon. But the lady is lost. Immediate success; Not to mention the Battle of Song. to this day. China lost its cities. Heavy losses. But there was not a decent victory. But Zhuang Jihua now said that he would eliminate the 23rd Brigade. And it was surrounded by Japanese troops. It's a bit of a miracle.

"Whether it is completely annihilated depends on the situation. But defeat them for sure. This way we also reduce the threat a little bit. You can go all out to deal with the Japanese army on the northern front. Zhuang Jihua got up. The overcoat on his shoulders slipped down to the chair. Zi Niu immediately came over and put his coat on him again.

Lan was also dumbfounded. He's a veteran. Participated in the Hai Revolution. Later, he was admitted to the Baoding Military Academy. is Tang Shengzhi's apprentice. He is also a student of Jiang Baili. After graduating from Baoding. has been following Tang Shengzhi. Participated in the Northern Expedition. The Ninghan split and marched east to fight the Han. Tang Shengzhi was anti-Jiang and so on. Fought for half a lifetime. In such a situation, we will not shrink our forces. Still thinking about fighting back. I'm afraid that only this Huangpu arrogant man dares to think and dare to do.

"Uncle Qi. You can't be arrogant when you take office on the battlefield. Ignoring an opponent is bound to be punished. Jiang Baili also stood up: "Look. The Japanese army on the southern front was in Guangzhou. The Japanese army on the northern front was concentrated west of Wujin. The second and third brigades in the middle became lonely. Who does he hit if he doesn't hit? ”

Jiang Baili's words gave Fu Changda confidence. Although Zhuang Jihua did well in Chongqing. Let Fu Chang admire. But he has never been seen commanding a war. The battle of Yunnan can be said to be careless. The Japanese army was different from the Dian army. Can Zhuang Jihua still take such a record? Fu Chang's heart is up and down. Now Jiang Baili said the same thing. His faith was immediate.

Fu Chang and Zhou Lan are not the same. Fu Chang knew the strength of the 49th Group Army. Zhou Lan was not aware of the strength of the 49th Group Army. He can only be calculated in the same way that an ordinary squadron dealt with the Japanese army. Usually a division of Japanese troops requires at least 100,000 squadrons to deal with. A brigade of more than 10,000 Japanese troops. It takes three armies to deal with it. But now. Jiang Baili spoke up. He didn't say anything anymore. I only regret in my heart that I should not accept the post of deputy chief of staff.

The adjustment of the squadron was quickly carried out. Zhuang Ji was most worried about the withdrawal of troops from the Xicheng Line. The troops will break up like they did when the Wufu line retreated. This collapse spreads as quickly as bacteria. In the end, the entire front collapsed. In that case. The Japanese army would rush into Nanking without hindrance.

"Order the Sixth Brigade to move forward to Danyang immediately. Received the 87th Division. Tell Gu Huchen. It was necessary to be prepared to block the Japanese army. ”

Zhuang Jihua is safe. Draw a brigade from the Liang division to Danyang to respond. The commander of the 6th Brigade, Gu Huchen, was brought back from the front line of the Great Wall. Former commander of a regiment in the Northeast Army. After 918, he stayed in the Northeast to resist the war. After the Great Wall War of Resistance. The Beiping Army Branch reorganized the troops. His troops were reorganized. He didn't want to return to the Northeast Army, so he went to Chongqing and defected to Zhuang Jihua.
