Chapter 388: The Disappearing Artillery Position

"How is it possible, is the Hainan Guardian Army an immortal? Under the heavy protection, all roads have many checkpoints of the Japanese army, and even if we Chinese pretend to be Japanese soldiers and do not have special identification, it is impossible to enter within five kilometers of the Japanese headquarters.

How did they find the command of the Japanese army?" Hearing that the Japanese command was bombed, everyone did not believe that it was true.

However, the Japanese army's clear code telegram clearly said that the headquarters of the attack on the Nanjing front line had been bombed, and the matter was quite urgent, otherwise the Japanese army would not have been able to take a direct copy of the telegram.

"Who said it must be the location of the Japanese command revealed by us Chinese?" Li Tie asked rhetorically. "Did the Japanese reveal it themselves?" How is this possible, did you bury nails in the headquarters of the Japanese army? When the generals thought that Li Tie was likely to have planted Chinese spies in the Japanese headquarters, they couldn't help but look at Li Tie even more.

Everyone looked at Li Tie eagerly, hoping that Li Tie could solve the doubts of Yangchun Noodle and satisfy everyone's curiosity.

It's a pity that Li Tie didn't answer their questions, he opened the second telegram again, and said slowly: "I will inform you again of a good news."

Just last night, the soldiers of the Magical First Regiment of the First Army of the Hainan Escort Army not only repelled the Yamada detachment that attacked Wulong Mountain, but also killed more than 3,000 people of the Yamada detachment.

Now the entire Yamada detachment has been crippled and has retreated five kilometers. Then this morning, the officers and men of the Magical Regiment had just repelled a temporary fleet of nearly ten warships of the Third Fleet, which was swimming upstream of the Yangtze River.

They also managed to repel the attack of nearly 50 Japanese planes and achieved great results in shooting down 12 planes. ”

As soon as Li Tie's words fell, the Nanjing defenders present took a breath of cool air: "Are your Hainan guards all iron-beaten?"

The previous independent regiment killed the 5,000-strong Guoqi detachment as soon as it struck, and in just one day, it killed 16 planes, 20 tanks, and two wings of nearly 5,000 people. Frightened, the Japanese army had to abandon the strategy of crossing the Yangtze River from Cihu Town in the west.

Now that the defenders of the Wulong Mountain Fort in the east have just fled without a fight, one of you has emerged again.

In the same day, another 3,000 men and 12 planes were killed, and a Japanese fleet was repulsed. Is this a normal person's record? If the development continues at this rate, it will not be a few days before the Japanese army outside Nanjing will not let your Hainan guards kill all of them, and the siege of Nanjing will not be solved? ”

Looking at the shocked faces of the generals, Li Tie was a little embarrassed, because if the following records were read out, it would be even more shocking. But he also had to bite the bullet and keep reading.

"Just now, the special operations team of the First Army of our Hainan Escort Army, the White Wolf Special Operations Squad, just killed more than 400 Japanese troops and shot 500 Japanese prisoners in the Yaohuamen position east of Bauhinia Mountain.

At the same time, this white wolf squad used the 24 heavy artillery pieces it had just captured to launch an artillery attack on the two Japanese wings at the foot of Wulong Mountain, and the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain were defeated and fled.

According to a call from the magical regiment of Wulong Mountain, they had dispatched two battalions of troops to pursue the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain. According to their reports, they and the heavy artillery brigade wiped out at least 3,000 more Japanese troops in this battle.

Now that the siege of Wulong Mountain has been lifted, the White Wolf Squad has just blown up the twenty-four heavy guns and is approaching Nanjing City.

As long as they did not encounter Japanese planes along the way, the possibility of reaching Nanjing safely was very high. ”

"Sizzle! Great, we must meet this heroic force. Although they already had a high opinion of the combat strength of their Hainan Guards, just hearing this latest battle report, all the generals couldn't help but gasp again.

Everyone looked at Tang Shengzhi together, everyone's brains were now blank from this huge battle record, and they hoped that Commander-in-Chief Tang would give him an idea. How to deal with the Hainan Guards, a team full of heroes, in the future.

As a result, everyone found that Commander-in-Chief Tang also had a sluggish expression. Yes, Commander Tang is also very depressed, this Hainan Escort Army only produced two regiments and two squads, and killed at least more than 10,000 Japanese troops.

So many tanks and planes were killed, and now even the Japanese army's nest has been served. And look at their 80,000 defenders.

Today, more than 20,000 people have been killed and more than 20,000 wounded. There were still 40,000 defenders, most of whom had entered the city, ready to withdraw from Nanjing within a few days.

If such a strong record of the Hainan Escort Army is spread, where is the face of the National Army and the face of the Nanjing Defenders?

But he couldn't hide such a good record, and in the end, Tang Shengzhi had a twist of his mind, and he had already figured out how to report the record.

Although this Hainan Guard Army is not a sequence of the National Army, it is also a sequence of the Chinese Army, and at that time, as long as the troops that wiped out the Japanese army are collectively referred to as the Chinese Defenders, everything will be fine.

As for the Chinese people, they just want to know that the Chinese army has won, and where will they go to find out which army has won?

Tang Shengzhi, who had figured out this trick, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, since the Hainan Guards were so capable of fighting, they took over the task of protecting the retreat of the entire Nanjing City. It's not good to use them at this time, but when?

Alas, this Tang Shengzhi is also a general of the National Army, but it is a pity that he is too tricky in this warlord system full of mountaineering.

At such a critical moment, what he thought of was not to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Hainan Guards and the current advantages of the entire Nanjing to carry out a counteroffensive, but the first thing he thought of was to consume Li Tie's strength.

After all, Li Tie had never led troops to fight, although he had participated in a series of operations this time, he did not think that it was time for a local counteroffensive.

In his subconscious, Nanjing can't be defended, and what he has to do is to use the strong protective ability of his Hainan Escort Army to safely transport all the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing City.

If Wang Yaqiao or Jiang Guangnai were here, such a mistake would not have happened, which is also the place where later historians felt pity for the defense of Nanjing.

Because they could have taken advantage of the chaos when the Japanese headquarters was bombed, they could launch some local counterattacks and achieve some big highlights in the entire Battle of Nanjing.

It's a pity that Tang Shengzhi has no fighting spirit, and Li Tie didn't think of this at all, so it can be regarded as a few flaws in Li Tie's life that are not stains.

After all, although the current Japanese army has lost two heavy artillery brigades, they still have nearly 700 mountain artillery and artillery pieces of various types. There were also nearly 2,000 infantry guns, rapid-fire guns and mortars.

Therefore, even if the headquarters of the Japanese army is terminated now, causing a brief chaos of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops around Nanjing, it will not change the defeat of the entire Battle of Nanjing.

In the end, the Nanjing front command still believed the news released by Li Tie, because now the Japanese army outside Nanjing was in chaos, and everyone could see it.

So on the afternoon of the 13th, Nanjing finally spent a rare quiet afternoon, and the soldiers and civilians at the Xiaguan Wharf were able to escape more. On this day, due to the decrease in the bombing of aircraft, many ships from the other side of the Yangtze River also joined the operation to meet the military and civilians in Nanjing.

So on this day, the whole of Nanjing successfully sent away 60,000 people. Even so, there were still 200,000 people and nearly 50,000 Chinese troops in Nanjing at this time who had not evacuated Nanjing. It seems that the burden of the Hainan Guards is still very heavy.

And that afternoon, the busiest was Japan's air force. Since the bombing of the headquarters, they have learned that two heavy artillery brigades have been captured by Chinese soldiers.

Therefore, all of their hundreds of planes were dispatched and searched all over the periphery of Nanjing, hoping to find these two heavy artillery groups and annihilate them.

When the Blue Wolf Special Operations Team had just fired a few hundred shells in a matter of minutes, the reconnaissance personnel on the periphery had already received news that several Japanese squadrons were approaching the artillery positions in the mountain pass.

Therefore, the Green Wolf ordered the Lei brothers to immediately install time bombs on all the artillery, and then led the Green Wolf team to immediately withdraw from the artillery position and rush towards Nanjing City instead.

However, the Green Wolf Squad did not flee directly to Nanjing City, because the Green Wolf knew that once the Japanese army knew about the existence of their team, they would definitely pursue in the direction of Nanjing first.

Therefore, after planting the time bomb, instead of immediately fleeing in the direction of Nanjing, he first walked a few miles south.

When the explosion occurred, they happened to encounter another squadron of Japanese troops, and then the Blue Wolf squad naturally pretended to be also a Japanese squadron that had come to reinforce them.

Together with this squadron, they advanced towards the heavy artillery position, and eventually managed to blend behind several Japanese troops, and pursued the Chinese squad in Nanjing.

And when the Blue Wolf squad had just left the col, the two Japanese squadrons that were the first to reach the col came to the artillery position, only to see the corpses and the artillery thrown by the enemy.

The soldiers of the two squadrons thought that they had made meritorious contributions, and they all stepped forward to snatch the artillery, because at this time, whoever got the most cannons was equivalent to capturing the most, and naturally had the most combat achievements.

So the soldiers of the two squadrons rushed to the twenty-four heavy guns, and in order to grab these cannons, the soldiers of the two squadrons even fought.

I said that these Japanese soldiers were the first to see them, and that they were the first to touch them, but each had its own reasons and no one was convinced, so it was inevitable that they would fight.

Seeing the chaotic scene in front of them, the two squadron leaders stood outside the col in a daze, thinking, and no one stopped these soldiers who were tearing and beating.

Because both of them could see that something was wrong with the situation in front of them, why didn't the enemy blow up the cannon? Wouldn't throwing it here allow the Japanese army to get it again?

Destroying the enemy's heavy equipment at the first time is the most basic military common sense! And it's as simple as throwing a grenade into the barrel, why don't these Chinese soldiers do it?

Thinking of this, the two squadron leaders exclaimed in unison: "Quickly retreat, danger." ”
