On December 14, in the previous century, Nanjing had been occupied by the Japanese, and the Japanese army had begun a massacre operation.

On the morning of the 14th, the Japanese army besieged the city of Nanjing from all directions, and began to advance into the city of Nanjing from the three southernmost gates of the city.

The street fighting in the city of Nanjing was still very fierce, affected by the Hainan Guards, the Nanjing defenders at this time had a stronger fighting spirit and more flexible tactics, and everyone was not limited to every pillbox, every street and the Japanese army to the death.

Instead, they resisted street by street step by step, and mobilized a large number of mobile troops to attack the Japanese army from a direction that the Japanese army could not think of.

Moreover, although the defenders of Nanjing in this life are extremely short of heavy weapons, they have sufficient infantry guns and grenades.

In addition, although the defenders in the city at this time were all remnants of the retreat from the Battle of Shanghai, they were also the elite soldiers of the National Army. They were attacked by the heavy artillery of the Japanese army outside Nanjing, and a large number of senseless sacrifices were made, so they suffered heavy casualties.

However, after the Japanese army entered the city of Nanjing, they had no choice but to engage in a tragic street battle with the defenders of Nanjing because they could not use heavy weapons. At this time, the combat experience of these veterans becomes very important.

Under the leadership of these veterans, the defenders of Nanjing boldly interspersed, not limited to the gains and losses of the position, and as a result, although the equipment was relatively backward, they still fought impressively, causing great casualties to the Japanese army.

The Japanese paid a terrible price for almost every street they advanced.

However, due to the fact that the Japanese army still has a large number of tanks, and there are planes involved in the attack from time to time. Therefore, the Chinese defenders were still beaten and retreated.

And the Chinese defenders did not seem to be in love with war, as long as they found that something could not be done, the defenders of Nanjing would always retreat to the rear at the right time.

In just one day, the Japanese army had already occupied half of the city of Nanjing. On this day, 50,000 people were transported away from Nanjing again.

On December 15, because the Japanese army occupied half of Nanjing in only one day, they took it for granted that they could fully occupy Nanjing in another day.

As a result, from this day on, the Japanese attack really met the opponent, and they were finally hindered after entering the city of Nanjing.

The Japanese found that they had been hampered by more and more Chinese troops since they had entered the city, and that they had always encountered some special detachments each time they had fought half of the city.

Not to mention the accuracy of each of these squads, they also carried straight barrels, which were so powerful that they could destroy their tanks from hundreds of meters away with just one shot.

The attack on the 15th lasted only half a day, and the Japanese army, which had been overwhelming all the way, finally suspended the attack. Because of the information sent by the Japanese army on various battlefields, their tank troops were devastated, and in half a day on the 15th, a full 100 Japanese tanks were destroyed by this unknown weapon.

Hundreds of infantry guns were also scrapped by the sudden struck by such shells from the corners, from the side of the street, from the ruins of the buildings.

Moreover, the lethality of this straight shell to the infantry is also huge, and only one can destroy a squad of soldiers.

In just one morning, hundreds of Japanese soldiers died under the unknown shells along the way. The attacking Japanese army was very afraid of this weapon, and many squads reported to their superiors, hoping to find a way to deal with this weapon of the Chinese army as soon as possible.

Before the Japanese command could figure out the new weapons of the Chinese army, they had to order all Japanese tanks to suspend the attack, but they still used a large number of various infantry guns to open the way, and then used infantry to charge.

However, in the spacious streets of Nanjing, the Japanese troops who attacked in this way suffered great losses, because the defenders of Nanjing, who occupied a favorable geographical position, would always suddenly appear and hit the Japanese by surprise.

As a result, after a whole day of bloody fighting, the Japanese army suffered thousands of casualties, and indeed only advanced a few kilometers. Compared to the previous day's record, it was really miserable.

The Japanese army, which had no choice but to stop the attack, began to study the weapons that suddenly appeared in the defenders of Nanjing, which specialized in fighting tanks.

Fortunately, Nanzao Yunzi's intelligence officers were very good, and she got the name and related parameters of this weapon in her hands that night.

Looking at the general shape and parameters of the bazooka in front of him, the staff department of the Japanese army analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon overnight.

And these Japanese staff officers are not all incompetent, in just one night, they really analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon.

First, this bazooka is powerful, lightweight, and so easy to carry that a soldier can carry him around.

In addition, it is conservatively estimated that the attack distance of this rocket launcher is more than one kilometer, far exceeding the Japanese grenadier and ordinary light mortars, and this weapon can hit almost any target in the attack distance.

Therefore, when engaging an enemy with such weapons, if you can't destroy the enemy before the enemy, it will be dangerous to encounter Japanese troops.

As for the shortcomings, the Japanese staff officers also probably found some of them, first of all, this weapon can only attack the enemy in the form of direct aiming, and cannot shoot at a curve like a mortar. This requires the user to expose most of the body in order to launch well.

The second is that the launch distance of this rocket artillery is extremely short, it should be only a few hundred meters, because every time the Japanese army sends it to attack, it is the Chinese soldiers who appear within the firing range, sometimes even within a few tens of meters.

The third disadvantage is that there are not many such rocket launchers in the Chinese army on the other side, because judging from the intelligence that has been brought back from the battlefield, the Chinese army has only one such launcher in a team of dozens of people every time.

And it seems that there is a special squad responsible for protecting this bazooka, which shows the preciousness of this weapon, so the number of Chinese troops must not be much.

In view of the above huge shortcomings, the Japanese staff officers believed that this kind of bazooka could only bring a little trouble to the great Japanese Imperial Army, and would not change the situation of the entire battle in Nanjing.

They could have sent more snipers and more mortars to fight back. Therefore, in the future offensive operations, each area is specially deployed with sufficient snipers, specifically responsible for attacking these Chinese soldiers who launch rocket launchers.

While the Japanese army was still studying how to crack the bazooka of the defenders of Nanjing. On the 15th, the city of Nanjing transported more than 50,000 Nanjing people from the Xiaguan wharf.

Because there are still nearly 100,000 people in Nanjing who refuse to leave no matter what, they are either hiding in the countryside or hiding in relatively remote houses around Nanjing.

There are also some lonely and widowed old people, because they have no children and no daughters, their homeland is difficult to leave, and they also have a very indifferent view of life and death, so they have not evacuated their respective places of residence.

For these tens of thousands of people who refused to leave their homes, Li Tie made a controversial thing in later generations, that is, he ordered a part of the soldiers of the Hainan Guard Army to issue two grenades to all the Nanjing people who refused to leave, and tirelessly taught the people how to use them.

Although Li Tie knew that many of these grenades would not be used, there were also many that could be used, and he only hoped that these people who stayed in Nanjing City would be a little more bloody, and not be cut off by others, and it would be useless to keep the grenades.

The Japanese army, who was thinking of occupying Nanjing and massacring the defenseless people of Nanjing, would never have thought that the current people of Nanjing were not defenseless, and they all had lethal weapons in their hands.

These poor Japanese soldiers must not have imagined that there are many Nanjing people in the city of Nanjing, whose families are ruined, and they are waiting to die together with the Japanese troops who rushed into their homes.

On the 16th, the last 50,000 Nanjing people were still waiting to retreat at the Xiaguan wharf. Since the Shimonoseki pier is now guarded by hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns.

Therefore, although Japanese planes occasionally came to reconnoiter in the past few days, the entire evacuation operation was not disturbed too much.

As the last group of evacuated non-combatants, Li Tie and a group of family members of Nanjing Huaxing employees finally set foot on the ship heading north.

Sitting on the slightly crowded boat, looking at the people next to him who were worried because they had left their hometowns, Li Tie was also unbearable.

This is the war, the war between the two countries that never stops fighting, and no matter what the final outcome of the war is, it is still these helpless people who suffer the most.

As the weaker side of the two warring sides, the people of the Republic of China naturally had a more miserable life, and these people of Nanjing, who fled from the imperial capital, fell from heaven to hell all of a sudden, and became homeless people from then on.

How do they know that now is only the beginning of the suffering of the Republic of China, and they still have eight years to suffer in order to usher in the final victory.

I really don't know how many of these suffering people will survive eight years later, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is won.

Looking at the city of Nanjing, which is gradually moving away. Li Tie's heart was full of regret, even if he tried his best, there was still no way to reverse the fate of the occupation of Nanjing.

But think about the 200,000 Nanjing people who were rescued by themselves, and then think about the Nanjing defenders who are still fighting bloodily in the city of Nanjing.

Li Tie still had a trace of comfort. I don't have the ability to change the current general trend of the Republic of China, which doesn't mean that I won't have it in the future. Li Tie believes that with his little bit of accumulation, there will always be a day when the general trend will change.

Just like now the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Second Army of Hainan have been left in Nanjing by themselves, and they will be responsible for the final work of the palace.

And the reason why he is leaving now is precisely to prepare for the work of taking over these 10,000 guards, and he doesn't want to sacrifice his 10,000 elite soldiers who have been trained for many years in vain.

Looking at the direction of Nanjing City again, Li Tie silently thought in his heart: "General Cai, I rescued your 19th Route Army from the brink of death back then, just so that you can shock the world when you appear again.

Now I have helped you build Nanjing, the best platform to show, and the next good show depends on you. ”
