Chapter 250: The Battle of Nanjing
Wei Chendong's reinforcements arrived, Lao Jiang naturally smiled, of course, Wei Chendong was naturally unwilling to hand over these things to the Kuomintang, and temporarily added these heavy weapons to the [***], three hundred aircraft, can form a flying squadron, no worse than the air power of the army, two hundred field guns are also a huge field firepower, enough to be equipped with an artillery regiment, and more than a hundred tanks, can also form a huge tank battalion, from these points of view, The heavy firepower of the defenders guarding Nanjing is even stronger than that of the attacking army, Wei Chendong can be regarded as doing his best, if he Tang Shengzhi can't hold it anymore, don't blame him Wei Chendong turned his face, what if he is Lao Jiang's cronies.
In late November, the 6th Division, the 9th Division, the 16th Division, the 18th Division, and the 114th Division of the Army marched towards Nanjing in several ways. The three-light policy began to be implemented on a large scale, and the people of Jiangsu suffered great persecution.
Hearing these news, Wei Chendong's face was cold, his face was pale, and he secretly issued a secret order, he wanted these guys to repay a hundred times over, how much he looked forward to the day of revenge coming soon, seeing the enemy's painful expression, he could make revenge feel satisfied, he had to take a time to communicate with the old ghost in the ghost prison, to see how to retaliate against the enemy, in order to really make them worse than dead, these four divisions have been targeted by him Wei Chendong, no matter up or down, as long as he Wei Chendong is alive, he will not let go, at the same time, He also secretly ordered reporters from the Yanhuang Yue News and some personnel of the Yanhuang Intelligence Bureau to infiltrate the Jiangsu area and record all the atrocities committed by the Japanese army, as well as the list of all crimes and deeds, whether they were generals or soldiers.
On December 4, the army was forced into the periphery of Nanjing, and the general sent by the Yan and Huang troops asked Tang Shengzhi to send some troops outside the city to fight a decisive battle with the Yue army. This suggestion was rejected by Tang Shengzhi without hesitation, he said that [***] will coexist with the city of Nanjing, only to put it to death, in order to survive, because of the missed opportunity, in the 8th, the army occupied the outer positions of Nanjing, has surrounded Nanjing from the north, east and south, at this time the Nanjing defenders only left the Yangtze River in the west of a retreat, but Tang Shengzhi made a "battle against the water" posture, on the one hand, he ordered to concentrate on the Fukou position, on the other hand, ordered the destruction of all the ferries on the Yangtze River, He also ordered Song Xilian's 36th Division to guard the only passage through the lower pass in the city, Rujiang Gate, and strictly forbade the troops to withdraw from here. Since then, the retreat of the defenders and civilians in Nanjing has been cut off. The generals of the Yanhuang Army reported the situation here to Wei Chendong, and Wei Chendong scolded Tang Shengzhi for being an idiot, but he couldn't reach it, so he could only sigh with a bad premonition in his heart.
On the 10th, the army launched a full-front attack from three sides, Tang Shengzhi ordered the defenders to hold their positions, and the armored troops of the Yan and Huang Army also refused to take the initiative to attack, he was afraid that the army would take the opportunity to attack from it.
In desperation, a tank regiment of the Yan and Huang Army could only be used as a field artillery with a small range of activity, which was really a miracle for the ages, and the Yan and Huang Army had no choice.
The three hundred planes of the Yan and Huang Army bombed back and forth in the position of the Yan and Huang Army without fear of sacrifice, almost without stopping, the ammunition ran out, and they immediately returned to replenish, and when the fuel ran out, they came back to replenish immediately, and then immediately rushed to the cruel battlefield, at this time the Yan and Huang Army fighters were not equipped with the ability to fight at night, but some pilots disregarded the danger and took advantage of the dark night to attack the positions of the Yue Army, which shocked Matsui Shigen, and deeply felt that the Yan and Huang Army was the henchmen, they were more desperate than [***], but fortunately it was [***] who guarded the city of Nanjing. If it was 100,000 people in the Yan and Huang army, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to take this place.
With such a thought in his heart, Matsui Shigen wanted to take Nanjing as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and when the Yan and Huang army came, there would be too many variables.
On the afternoon of the 11th, 200 guns of the Yan and Huang Army bombarded the Japanese army attacking from all sides and eight directions, and the battle in the air never stopped.
A Type 96 land attack plane of the Yan and Huang Army was hit by a Jian-1 fighter of the Yan and Huang Army, and fell from the sky with thick black smoke. Rumble...... There was a loud bang, and the fuel was accompanied by an unused bomb that produced a huge explosion that kicked up clouds of dust.
A plane of the Yan and Huang Army was attacked by two planes of the army, and was hit by a bullet and caught fire, the pilot did not parachute to escape, but laughed fiercely, and accelerated with all his strength to catch up with the bomber of the army, and collided violently, the fuel tank of the plane was rubbed out of Mars and caught fire, and suddenly exploded, and one wing of the plane of the Yan and Huang Army was also knocked off, and it fell straight down, and the pilot's head was also hit violently, the blood flowed, and his head was drowsy, but in the end, he was driven by instinct, Unexpectedly, the almost uncontrollable plane was lightened by a small half-arc, and rushed towards the attacking army camp, and at least a small team of the Japanese army was sent into the sky.
It is this kind of desperate Saburo's posture that made the Yue army blocked for a while, and many [***] soldiers were also deeply infected, and the Yan and Huang Army came to have such a high will to fight, and they didn't want to be looked down upon too much, and many soldiers were also desperately defending their positions, and even did not hesitate to have a frontal white ninja battle with the Yue army.
As of the 12th, the onslaught for a few days, the army that paid heavy casualties still failed to break through the defense of Nanjing, and the defenders did not show a retreat, but at this time, Tang Shengzhi gave an incredible order, it was 7 o'clock in the night, he suddenly ordered to break through and retreat, without saying hello, he escaped by the reserved motorboat, and left the defenders and the civilians of a city like this.
Colonel Deng Zhongchang of the Yan Huangjun who learned this information looked shocked and immediately reported the situation to Wei Chendong. was so angry that Wei Chendong smashed a table with a punch, and the blood on his hands flowed, "I beheaded that dog for Lao Tzu, Nanjing City is over, and he can't live like a scumbag."
Wei Chendong was quite calm, thought for a while and ordered: "Make every effort to organize the [***] defenders to attack from the direction of the south road, break through the defense of the 114th Division and enter Anhui."
After Deng Zhongchang received the order, he immediately began to contact some [***] generals, and he first contacted some generals who were quite reliable in the resistance, and tried his best to organize themselves to break through to the south together.
But there are also some [***] generals who are more pustuated, scattered above, and have no backbone, regardless of the troops, they fled for their lives, so that their subordinates have completely become chaotic troops, jumping around, but also impacting the camp of the organized army, among which the artillery and tank regiments of the Yanhuang Army were the most severely impacted, and these guys feel that they can only have a sense of security next to these iron bumps, so regardless of whether they will use it or not, they began to snatch these things from the Yanhuang Army on a large scale.
With a ruthless heart, Deng Zhongchang gave the order to kill, and suddenly, the Yan and Huang troops opened fire on these bandits, and finally suppressed the wind.
"You are willing to rush out with us, we welcome it, but if you want to make trouble here, these dead people will end, I really feel sorry for you, you have the ability to fight with the Ben, and what are you robbing with your own troops? It's my grandson's who left me here to die, it's the grandfather, go out with Lao Tzu and kill the little devil......" Deng Zhongchang roared violently and led his troops to rush south, along the way, from time to time, there were scattered troops to join, and at most it reached nearly 30,000 people.
Deng Zhongchang also knew that this army had no combat effectiveness at all, just to be comfortable for a while, so he didn't let these defeated troops fight the vanguard, and took the initiative to let the Yan and Huang troops provoke the big beam, he knew that if these defeated troops were defeated again, it would be really a complete riot, and if it was really chaotic, the Yan and Huang troops would be much less affected in the front.
On December 13, the Yue army entered and occupied the city of Nanjing, because of the hatred for the Chinese, along the way, the Yue army killed people when they saw them, and burned them when they saw the ground, at the same time, Deng Zhongchang also led his [***] to attack the 114th Division, he knew that the reason why Wei Chendong chose the 114th Division was because the combat power of the 114th Division was the weakest in attacking several Yue army divisions, moreover, the east road went straight to Shanghai, breaking through was also a dead end, the north road was the Shandong area, and it was also the sphere of influence of the Yue army, only the south road, after opening up, You can enter Anhui.
The 114th Division was almost out of force under the fierce breakthrough of the heavy armor of the Yanhuang Army, and the remaining Yanhuang Army fighters in the sky also fully supported, striving to open a passage for the defenders and the people.
After receiving the news of the 114th Division's request for help, Matsui Shigen immediately dispatched several fast troops to go to the rescue lightly.
Deng Zhongchang only then felt how sad it was to command a weak brigade, the Yan and Huang armies had already opened the breakthrough, these guys rushed several times, but they didn't expand the results of the battle, and broke through in one fell swoop.
In desperation, Deng Zhongchang immediately secretly ordered several good defender generals to transfer their subordinates and not stay with these useless soldiers. Sure enough, not long after, these defeated soldiers, who had no will to fight, hesitated under the counterattack of the Yue army, and when they learned that there were reinforcements from the Yue army coming from behind, they quickly collapsed and began to flee in all directions, some took off their military uniforms and returned to the city, and some fled elsewhere.
At this time, Deng Zhongchang could not control them, and immediately organized less than 10,000 defenders to storm the position of the 114th Division under the sacrificial assault of the Yan and Huang Army, due to the lack of interference of those routs, these troops can also exert some combat power, and after paying heavy casualties, they finally succeeded in breaking through, but the Yue Army that came from behind, immediately together with the 114th Division, blocked the city of Nanjing, until this, the defense of Nanjing ended, [***] was defeated, and less than one-tenth of the 100,000 troops fled, Even the Yan and Huang army also suffered great losses, three hundred planes and the Yue army fought two-thirds, the artillery was almost lost, and the tank regiment also lost more than half, the Yan and Huang army, which had fought with the Yue army for so many years, did not lose so many heavy weapons at once, when Wei Chendong learned the news, his eyes were bloody, he was very angry and needed to break out.
