Chapter 237: The Bloody Battle of Nanjing (3)
More than 50 Chinese soldiers volunteered to stay and fight with the soldiers, and finally a girl named Xiaoxiao was hit in the head by a stray bullet.
Song Xilian looked at the body of the sacrificed girl with a blue face in the division headquarters, as well as a large group of crying girls, this time he sacrificed a major battalion commander, two captain battalion deputies, a captain company commander and four lieutenant company deputies, and another 170 non-commissioned officers and soldiers sacrificed, more than 50 people were injured, and the casualties of the army were slightly larger than [***], at this moment, he said that he could afford to die, but Song Xilian couldn't fight!
Each of his officers was a treasure who survived nine deaths in the Battle of Songhu! Eight were killed in battle, plus more than 20 non-commissioned officers, such a large loss was enough to repel the losses of the attack of an infantry wing in Xiaoyueben, especially the losses of these experienced officers, which could not be replaced and remedied.
However, Song Xilian was also pleased, because this sortie also made Yue himself dumbfounded, especially in the end, the army used the 92 infantry guns to carry out artillery bombardment, and the 12 105 mm howitzer groups on the Purple Mountain found their scattered gun positions, so they destroyed them one by one, Song Xilian conservatively estimated that this time at least one of the army's forward ammunition depot and at least ten hated 92 infantry guns were knocked out of the single artillery position.
Song Xilian forcibly sent this batch of women's service teams to the garrison commander's headquarters, this is an extremely hot potato, Song Xilian doesn't want to be hot, who called you Zhang Xuewu has the highest position? Whose hands are you not hot on?
For the ball kicked by Song Xilian, Zhang Xuewu still found time to meet these girls who regarded him as the idol of the heroes of the resistance, and the excesses of the enthusiastic girls made Huang Fei'er who accompanied him frown, and she almost couldn't bear it, but Huang Fei'er also knew that the relationship between herself and Zhang Xuewu was likely to be unrequited, because Miss Shen was almost already Zhang Xuewu's wife, and the beautiful and moving Zhou Ying was Chief Zhang's lover to increase help. Compared with the two, Huang Fei'er found that she really had no advantages to talk about?
In order to send away this group of young ladies who volunteered to stay in Nanjing, Zhang Xuewu awarded the first batch of silver medals in the bronze, silver, and gold medals of different grades of Nanjing Defense Medals that he had ordered before, and the girls who died by the bullet also received a precious gold medal, and according to military regulations, they enjoyed the treatment of firing guns covering the coffins of the national flag, and a company of military police escorted all the girls who had sacrificed the coffins back to their hometowns.
It can be said that Zhang Xuewu gave these girls great honor, and also satisfied the vanity of the girls, so that Zhang Xuewu's plan to arrange the girls' retreat was implemented much more smoothly, and awarded you the battlefield silver medal, which proves that you have completed the task excellently, Zhang Xuewu secretly changed the concept in it, and the life and death on the battlefield, the stump and the broken arm and blood have made these girls a little unbearable, so at this time it is the best choice to retreat with honor.
In the battle for air supremacy in the past few days, the Chinese Air Force, the Flying Tigers of the Rehe Corps, and the Soviet Volunteer Air Force for Aiding China shot down a total of 21 carrier-based Type 94 attack planes, 35 carrier-based Type 96 attack planes, 19 carrier-based Type 1 attack planes, 26 land-based Type 96 crit planes, 28 Type 88 biplane crit planes, and 17 Type 95 attack planes.
Among them, all 28 fighters of the 22 nd Army Aviation Squadron of the Oshima Air Force, a fully equipped Type 88 biplane crit plane, were shot down, and the General Staff Headquarters of the Chinese Army immediately revoked the number of the 22 nd Army Aviation Critical Strike Squadron, which was the most serious loss suffered by the Army Air Force since its establishment.
In fact, this loss is really nothing if compared to the Kwantung Army Flying Division! Because at least three squadrons of the Kwantung Army Flying Division were all shot down or destroyed at the airfield during the struggle with the main force of the Rehe Air Force, but the Kwantung Army, which had a hard duck's beak, did not admit it, and by secretly changing the concept, reducing the number of combat losses, increasing the number of scrapped, delaying time, and reporting more training accidents, etc., such as destroying a precious Type 96 heavy explosion on the ground, then the Kwantung Army would report the destroyed aircraft according to the parts every once in a while. In the end, the reported parts were just enough to reassemble an aircraft, and under the deliberate management of the Kwantung Army, most of the losses were covered up.
In the battle for air supremacy over Nanjing, the Chinese air force has shot down a total of 147 fighters of various types of the army and navy air force of the Imperial Empire, but its own losses are also very serious, the Flying Tigers of the Rehe Army Corps lost seven BF-109F multi-role fighters, and the flight officer Xu Baocai was hit in the cockpit by the ground fire of the Yue Army when he was supporting the ground battle on the Purple Mountain. Seriously wounded, he still insisted on landing the plane, and finally died heroically due to excessive blood loss, the Flying Tigers died of exhaustion and killed 17 flight officers, and the damage was not repaired by spare parts, the Flying Tigers were only able to dispatch 37 fighters, and the losses of the Nationalist Axe Air Force were even greater, 28 fighters were shot down, 11 were destroyed by the Japanese army on the ground, 37 pilots were stained with blood, and the Soviet Union's support air force for China also lost 20 planes and 17 pilots died.
In terms of overall results, the Chinese side has an absolute advantage, but the number of additional army and naval aviation units has reached 495 and 360, which means that the number of fighters of the Chinese army has almost doubled compared with before.
It is important to know that the total number of standing and reserve forces of the army aviation is only 2,154 aircraft, of which 1,059 are in active service, 119 army aviation squadrons, and 987 standing and reserve forces of the navy.
It can be said that the Chinese army has concentrated one-half of the army's standing air force in the airspace over the Nanjing Theater, and the navy is also close to two-fifths of its air power.
Because judging from the huge losses suffered by the troops in the continuous siege of the city since the beginning of the day, the Chinese [***] team has no less heavy artillery firepower than the imperial army, especially in the heavy artillery, so if it does not fully grasp the air supremacy over Nanjing, it will not be able to suppress the unscrupulous heavy artillery firepower of the Chinese army, and it will not be able to suppress the heavy artillery firepower of the Chinese army, and the capture of Nanjing, the capital of China, can only be an unrealistic idea or dream.
Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters of the Chinese Army contacted the Army Aviation Command and the Naval Aviation Command, and cooperated with Prince Hatohiko Asakanomiya, the acting commander of the Central Branch, to launch a large-scale multi-wave continuous surprise air raid to completely destroy the air force of China.
For launching an air raid to completely destroy the air power in [***], Asaka Palace Hatohiko was very wise not to follow the blind mix this time, so this plan can be carried out smoothly and professionally, completely thanks to the reason why Asaka Palace Hatohiko accompanied Kyushu last night to drink too much, Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, who had a headache to death, hated and loved Misaka's sake.
Ye Yunfei of the General Mountain Fortress seized the opportunity of the retreat of the army's attack, first covered it with artillery fire, and carried out a counterattack before the formation of two infantry battalions led by five jackal light tanks that were dispatched, and as a result, he kicked out a place suspected to be the brigade and regimental headquarters of the army, killed several Zhongzuo, and attacked more than a dozen 75-mm mountain guns of the army. Ye Yunfei's attack force had already withdrawn safely.
Ye Yunfei didn't know that it was the command of Shinjiro Amaya of the 10th Brigade of the Infantry Regiment that he took off, and it happened that Shinjiro Amaya was holding a meeting at the division headquarters at that time, and the commander of the Yamamuro Sect Martial Division, who had always talked a lot of nonsense, could be said to have indirectly saved Shinjiro Amaya's life, otherwise he would have been crushed to death by the tracks of the tank or beaten into a sieve.
Ye Yunfei seized some large bottles of Yumoto wine and captured two geisha who are said to be famous geisha in Tokyo? So he hurriedly saluted Zhang Xuewu, and he was not interested in the two geisha Zhang Xuewu, who looked quite eye-catching, and the female spy who was sent to the door for himself to play for nothing before was much better than these two goods, but since it is a geisha famous in Tokyo?
Zhang Xuewu was very unkind, and sent someone to escort two special prisoners to Wuhan overnight, with the propaganda of public opinion, Zhang Xuewu is not good at it, didn't you come to our China to destroy the silver and plunder? And to try to capture the capital of our country? How about now? The bitches you who came with the army to condolence have all been captured by Lao Tzu, see how you are still blowing in the world?
The capture of Machiko and Masako can be said to have greatly shocked the army, you must know that there are only five well-known people in the art records who came to condolence this time, three of them were monopolized by Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, and now two more are captured by Naka[***]? This slap made me dizzy.
Especially the head of the Yamamuro Sect Martial Arts of the 11th Division, who rewarded Shinjiro Amaya with ten big slaps for the first time!
