Chapter 88: The Yangtze River Waterway (2)
In order to commemorate the "918" not to forget the national shame, and thank the majority of book friends for their support, we will contribute the saved manuscripts, and the insufficient part of the manuscript should also be filled, and the daily double update this week.
Zhao Dahu also dispatched troops and ordered all ministries to use their existing weapons and equipment to focus on attacking devil warships.
Therefore, while leading the main force to attack the river bank, each unit sent a small force carrying an armor-piercing meteor flying thunder to infiltrate the river bank and attack the devil warship.
Niu Daojia received 5 tanks and 2 armored vehicles captured in Zhenjiang, and led a total of 30 tanks, 9 armored vehicles, and their motorcycles and trucks, plus the garrison brigades of Jurong, Maoshan and Lishui, and the New Fourth Army to attack Nanjing.
Nishio Shouzo couldn't imagine that the Wumu army actually had such a powerful chariot force, so he hurriedly withdrew the troops attacking Zhenjiang, intercepted Niu Daojia, and at the same time sent planes to bomb. Airplanes are the killer weapon of Nishio Shouzo, and they are the absolute nemesis of the tank units that have no air supremacy.
Zhao Dahu had long expected that the devil would use the plane to deal with Niu Daojia, so most of Ouyang City's air defense troops followed behind the armored brigade. As soon as the devil plane appeared, it was forced into the air by anti-aircraft machine guns, and had to dive at a large angle on the armored troops.
Although more than a dozen planes were defeated, Niu Daojia also lost 10 tanks and 5 armored vehicles, and the momentum of the attack on Nanjing was greatly reduced.
Zhao Dahu also sent Duanmu Changyan's special operations battalion to infiltrate Nanjing from the Qinhuai River and stir up trouble in Nanjing: changing devil road signs, attacking liaison stations, command posts, and burning arsenals......
In order to make matters worse for Nishio Shou, the 105mm heavy artillery that had just been transported also shelled Nanjing City.
At the same time, Wang Yilang, who was on the front line, and Liu Qinghe, who was on the opposite side, also received an armor-piercing meteor thunderbolt and launched a strike on the warships in the upper reaches of Nanjing.
Seeing that Nanjing was about to become an isolated city, Nishio Shouzao had to order the troops around Nanjing to move closer to Nanjing and build a defense area in Nanjing, so the troops in Dangtu, Baohuashan, Jurong and other places in the south of the devil moved closer to Nanjing, and the troops of Jiangbei Quanjiao, **, and Yizheng also moved closer to Nanjing to protect Nanjing's Jiangbei back gate.
As soon as Nishio Shouzao closed the battle line, Zhao Dahu became even more comfortable.
The newly arrived heavy artillery was transferred to Wang Yilang's defense area to hit the transport and supply ships on the Yangtze River of the devil and avoid the warship, because the 105mm caliber artillery could not do the naval guns of the devil's caliber of more than 120mm, and the warship was handed over to the armor-piercing meteor flying thunder.
Niu Daojia withdrew from the periphery of Nanjing, relying on strong mobility to attack Changzhou, and Wu Zhen's cavalry brigade fought in coordination.
The 20 motorized speedboats of the sailor brigade were launched from Zhenjiang to attack the devil warships up and down. Because the draft of the motor boat is shallow, it is not affected by minefields.
Liu Qinghe, Liu Maoer, Liu Chenghai, and Wang Yilang's Jiangbei troops successfully arrived near the river bank and completed the task of blockading the Yangtze River, but only Wan Zixiong's troops failed to arrive as scheduled.
Wan Zixiong's troops have been divided into two divisions: one led by Wan Zixiong personally infiltrated the outer suburbs of Shanghai, and the other led by Li Jiakui infiltrated Suzhou and Wuxi with Yangcheng Lake as a base; The base area was still some distance from the bank of the Yangtze River, and after receiving the order to blockade the Yangtze River, the troops had no choice but to forcibly attack the south bank of the Yangtze River because of the tight time.
Under the command of Nishio Shouzo, the 13th Army of the Devils in Shanghai advanced westward and attacked the Jiangnan occupation area of the Wumu Army. Wan Zixiong saw that he was about to fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back. Wan Zi was ambitious, and while reporting to the General Headquarters of the Wumu Army, he readjusted his deployment: withdraw the Li Jiakui troops attacking the river bank, and make every effort to block the devil's army in the east; Wan Zixiong's troops in the suburbs of Shanghai spared the devil's combat units, intensified attacks and harassment behind enemy lines, and sabotaged the devil's communications, communications, and logistics; the devil's road signs, radio antennas, warehouses, supply stations, medical clinics, repair shops, transport teams, and individual cavalry, motorcycles, and communications troops were all targets.
Zhao Dahu received the report and urgently discussed with Tuesday Gou, Zeng Qi, Xiang Qingyun, and Ouyang Cheng to adjust the deployment: Wei Wenyang's Wuhang Brigade launched an attack on Hangzhou to contain the devil forces in Hangzhou; Wan Zixiong's Suhu Brigade gave up the original task of blockading the Yangtze River, and held the Yangcheng Lake base area with one unit, and the main forces were transferred and infiltrated behind enemy lines in Shanghai, and then vigorously launched attacks and harassment behind enemy lines; The Wuzhen Cavalry Brigade and the Niu Daojia Armored Brigade marched eastward along the river bank with the Danyang Garrison Brigade to complete the task of blockading the Yangtze River with the Jiangbei Liu Chenghai Division, and the Baohuashan Garrison Brigade moved to Danyang to fill the gap in Danyang's defense.
It has been 10 days since the Wu Mu army blockaded the Yangtze River waterway, and all the units along the river have made great gains: 35 transport ships, weapons, ammunition, medicines, raw materials, oil, grain, cloth, horses, and machinery, three devil frigates, 6 minesweepers, 17 other combat gunboats, 2 damaged light cruisers, and 5 frigates.
However, on Tuesday, Gou, Zhao Dahu, Zeng Qi, Xiang Qingyun, Ouyang Cheng and other high-level officials were worried: the 2 divisions and 3 mixed brigades of the 13th Army of the Devils were overwhelmed, and the rear troops of the Wumu Army were empty, and the troops blocking the south bank of the Yangtze River on the river bank were likely to be attacked by the Yangtze River and the Devils' heavy troops, and the Suhu Brigade and the Wuhang Brigade were already under great pressure, and the use of troops had reached the limit; The devils in Nanjing were also ready to counterattack because the Wu Mu army had reduced their attack, and the entire Wu Mu army's base area, including Xishan, was in danger......
Several bigwigs discussed the war overnight, and their eyes were red. Hu Zhaoyue, who returned to the General Headquarters, knew that he couldn't help, so he arranged for guards to strengthen the security on the one hand, and asked Wang Yu, Wang Ziwei and others to help on the other, thinking of reducing the mental consumption of several bigwigs.
So, Zhou Yuzi sent sauce elbows, sauce pig's trotters, British cigarettes, Mr. Wang sent secret mint soup, Hu Zhaoyue and Wang Ziwei arranged for people to buy lake fish, and Wang Yu was responsible for boiling fish soup.
Wang Yu basically does not participate in Wu Mujun's affairs now, and she is wholeheartedly married and taught her children, and she also showed her hand at the critical moment: she added pepper, mustard, and chili oil to the fish soup to refresh the big guys.
Stimulated by pepper, mustard, and chili oil, the bigwigs really got up, and finally Zhou Yuzi gave a final word to several bigwigs: "Boys, no matter what you do, don't let the devil step into the West Mountain!" We must not let the common people in the base areas suffer! ”
Zhou Yanzi's words made several big leaders feel enlightened after making up their minds, and their minds were clear, and one after another combat orders were conveyed through the radio:
Niu Daojia Armored Brigade and Wu Zhen Cavalry Brigade evacuated the river bank, attacked and advanced eastward along the river, and then rushed to Changshu through Zhangjiagang to flank the devil troops; Li Haiyang's infantry brigade marched to Changzhou by train, one attacked Changzhou, and most of it crossed Changzhou and attacked Wuxi; Li Jiakui's Suhu Brigade abandoned the Suzhou defense and cooperated with Li Haiyang's infantry brigade to attack Wuxi; Liu Chenghai crossed the Yangtze River in the south, attacked south based on Jiangyin, and built a Jiangyin-Wuxi blocking line with Li Haiyang and Li Jiakui; The armored brigade, the cavalry brigade, the Li Jiakui Division, and the southern part of Liu Chenghai were unified under the command of Li Haiyang; The Danyang Garrison Brigade broke away from the Armored Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade and launched an attack on Changzhou, and the Baohuashan Garrison Brigade stationed in Danyang also launched an attack on Changzhou, which was also under the command of Li Haiyang;
Xiang Qingyun commanded the rest of Li Jinglong's sailor brigade, mobilized all the motorboats, gunboats, transport ships, fishing boats and other ships, and the three garrison brigades of Yixing, Jintan, and Liyang, crossed the Taihu Lake, occupied the east bank of the Taihu Lake, and strived to capture or besiege Suzhou, and connect with Wuxi, take the Wujiang River to the south, and establish the Taihu Lake blocking line;
Zeng Qi commanded all the 75mm mountain artillery and field artillery of Ke Hua's remaining troops, Wang Huankai's fire brigade and the two garrison brigades of Changxing and Guangde, with the cooperation of Wei Wenyang and Wuhang brigades, to take Wuxing (now Huzhou), and then attack Shanghai along the southern shore of Taihu Lake; Wei Wenyang's main force feinted to attack Hangzhou and contain the devil's forces; Jiangbei Liumao'er Division transferred three special operations battalions, advanced eastward through Liu Chenghai's brigade defense area, crossed the Yangtze River in the south, merged into Wanzixiong's department, and launched operations behind enemy lines in the suburbs of Shanghai; The 4th Division of the Eastern Front was under the unified command of Zhao Dahu.
The western front was commanded by Tuesday Dog: Ouyang Cheng commanded more than 30 105mm guns of the heavy artillery brigade, as well as two garrison brigades of Xishan and Lishui and a section of the New Fourth Army to attack the periphery of Nanjing; Wang Yilang's Suwan Brigade, together with the two garrison brigades of Langxi and Gaochun, used ships to go down the Yangtze River and attacked the warships of the Devil's Navy with grenadiers, grenade machine guns, and various flying mines, and harassed Nanjing's back; In addition to blocking the Yangtze River waterway, Liu Qing and the Jiangwan brigade also had to attack the Jiangbei troops on the Nanjing side to cover the attack of Wang Yilang's troops on Nanjing.
Nishio Shouzo did not expect that the well-designed clearance plan was turned into a defensive battle: the Nanjing troops were pressed on the periphery of Nanjing, and the passive defense did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool; In Shanghai, before the 13th Army arrived in Suzhou, it was hit by the Wu Mu Army, artillery, cavalry, charioteers, infantry, guerrillas, and agents went up together, and the 13th Army was beaten in a hurry, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Jinhua, Lishui, Wenzhou, and the government army of the Third War Zone took advantage of the fire to loot, and the war on the east coast of East China was raging, which caused the transportation pressure at Wusongkou to increase dramatically, and the Yangtze River channel was blocked, and there was no way to get supplies to be transported to Central China, and Okamura Ningji of the 11th Army had to tighten his belt to fight.
Then, an accident caused Nishio Shouzo and Tuesday Dog to vomit blood and pass out at the same time.
In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River east of Zhenjiang, Tang Long led 10 motorized speedboats and 1 transport ship to blockade the river. These half-sized children are cultured and bloody, and they are the baby bumps of the bigwigs in Xishan.
When Tang Long learned from the war report on the radio that the war was going on all along the East China coast, he deduced that there must be a large amount of war materials in the port of Shanghai.
Ignoring the normal assembly of the 10-round meteor thunderbolt of the motorized speedboat, these people removed all self-defense weapons and other accessories, and hard-loaded the 20-round javelin flying mine, and then took spare fuel and drifted down the river towards Wusongkou, so that they could save fuel.
Drifted to Jiangyin, just in time for Liu Chenghai's troops to cross the river, a few small things mixed a full meal, and continued to advance eastward.
Approaching Wusongkou, the devil finally found the motorized speedboat, but on the wide river, the devil couldn't help these speedboats "flying" on the water, and were broken into the port by the motorized speedboat.
300 large and small flying thunders raged in Wusongkou, armor-piercing flying thunder hit warships, high-explosive flying thunder hit cranes, cranes, burning flying thunder hit cargo piles, young men methodically carried out surgical operations on the port, until the ammunition ran out, and the young men who were not equipped with self-defense weapons jumped into the sea of fire one after another, and no life survived!
When Nishio Shouzo received the report, he immediately vomited blood and fainted---- hundreds of thousands of tons of war materials were burned, telling Nishio Shouzo how not to be heartbroken.
Tuesday dog received a report, but also vomited blood and fainted---- so many stick guys are so boneless, Tuesday dog how to explain to the brothers, to the overseas Chinese who supported the war of resistance!
Without supplies, Nishio Shouzao lost his courage, shrunk his troops across the line, rested, and trained to wait for another battle.
After a fierce battle, although Wu Mujun was also covered in bruises, he was high-spirited and returned triumphantly!
In this battle, the Wumu army suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, but it did not hurt its vitality.
Due to the dispersion of the troops and the small calculations of the commanders of each unit, there is no record of the capture at all, only that all the units have made windfalls, and only the field detachment cannot make ends meet: the armored brigade lost 7 armored vehicles, 21 tanks, and a number of trucks and motorcycles; The cavalry brigade lost more than 400 horses; The sailor brigade lost 21 motorboats, 4 transports, and 3 gunboats; The heavy artillery brigade lost 7 105mm guns and 25 75mm guns, the fire battalion lost all ammunition and equipment, and the infantry brigade lost all heavy weapons.
After the battle summary meeting, He Laifu, as the commander of the guerrilla detachment, held a small meeting with the chief and deputy captains of the guerrilla brigades: At the meeting, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, good wine, and good food, no one moved chopsticks! The atmosphere was unusually low, and there was silence for 5 minutes, He Laifu stood up and only said two words: "The meeting is over!" ”
Beginning the next day, large quantities of supplies were brought into the guerrilla areas: automobiles, armored vehicles, tanks, motorcycles, artillery, war horses, ammunition, explosives, tungsten sand, tung oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, radio stations, steel rails, copper, sulfur, saltpeter, cloth, and ......
The guerrilla areas are comparing themselves to "paying tribute" to Xishan, and I am afraid that the materials they send will not be of high grade or weight, and that they will appear to be incompetent, unrighteous, and too stingy!
Looking at the endless stream of transport teams, Tuesday Dog and the others had a bottom: Don't look at the so many free-range wolf lambs released by Wu Mujun, sitting together is still a family, closer than the original!
Liu Maoer came looking for Tuesday Dog: "Boss, I lost a lot of money this time, you have to compensate me!" ”
Tuesday Dog knew that Liu Maoer had recently shipped a large number of various types of flying thunder launchers, as well as improved Qiguang submachine guns, so there was another reason, so he pretended to be stupid: "Everyone else makes a lot of money, and you suffer a loss, and you are too unlucky!" ”
"Boss, if you don't bring such a playful person, you said that I will need 20 armor-piercing meteor flying mines, and the rest will be divided between Liu Chenghai, Liu Qing and them, and I have to bring my own mines to block the Yangtze River waterway, and the whole 3 special operations battalions will be called to Wan Zixiong, and so many materials will be sent to Xishan......"
"What do you want? Say! Zhao Dahu was impatient.
"I want to marry a daughter-in-law!" Liu Mao'er was straightforward.
"Also, all the anti-war soldiers under your command have married daughters-in-law, and you are still beating singles! Say, who do you have a crush on?" Tuesday dog has always been rough-lined, just a little abnormal---- love to be a matchmaker!
"Lu girl!" Liu Mao'er blushed a little.
"Which Lu girl?" Tuesday the dog didn't react.
"Women's Troop!" Liu Maoer explained.
"Oh----, that's what happened." Tuesday Dog stretched out his voice, "You're looking for the wrong person!" That's the commander-in-chief's wife's personal soldiers, it's useless to look for me! ”
Liu Maoer looked at Zhao Dahu pitifully, and Zhao Dahu retreated 625: "I can't take care of it, or you can find your sister-in-law and talk to it!" ”
"Is that okay? What should I do if my sister-in-law doesn't give face? Liu Mao'er didn't know the bottom of her heart.
"You go and try what's wrong, and you can't drop the meat, look at your soft appearance!" Zhao Dahu encouraged Liu Maoer and took out the method of agitation.
Liu Maoer didn't appreciate it, and sneered at each other: "Boss, it is said that you are not as good as me at the beginning!" ”
"Who said that?" Zhao Dahu was scarred and embarrassed: "Remember, this is a military secret, don't talk nonsense in the future!" ”
On Tuesday, the dog reminded Liu Maoer: "Don't forget, the sister-in-law of the Zhao family is still your apprentice!" The authorities are confused, you are stupid! ”
Soon Liu Maoer became the groom's official, and the bride was the aunt of the Lu family class---- Lu Zhengang's half-sister, and the little aunt of the ten brothers of the Lu family, Lu Zhenyun, a 26-year-old girl. Liu Maoer begged her grandfather to tell her grandmother to ask for a sweaty BMW from Zhou Yuzi and Wu Zhen as a dowry, and Lu Zhenyun specially stole the ivory-handled command knife made by Nishio Shou from Nanjing City to give back to Liu Maoer, it turned out that this Nizi and Ma Yihang were the same way.
In view of the fact that Germany went to war in Europe and China and Germany became hostile countries, on Tuesday the dog stopped providing armor-piercing shells to Germany, so the Wu Mu Army had a large number of armor-piercing bullet warheads, which were mounted on the flying mines.
Wu Mujun blocked the Yangtze River channel with armor-piercing flying mines and motorized speedboats, and Nishio Shouzo accepted Shunroku Hatata's suggestion and once again "made peace" with Wu Mujun.
On Tuesday, the dog had no way to deal with it, that is, it did not let go of the blockade of the Yangtze River waterway until the government sent a report: The first battle of Changsha is over! Xue Yue sent a thank you call! It turned out that Okamura Ninji's sharp attack was stumped by the lack of food and ammunition, so he had to retreat to the same place and return to the situation before the battle.
On Tuesday, when the dog saw that he had achieved his goal, he proposed to the devil that a shipyard should be built in Zhenjiang, hoping that the Japanese side would provide equipment.
Of course, Nishio Shouzo will not agree, but he can't be too tough, so he has to be hypocritical.
