Xishan, the headquarters of the Wumu Army. When Tuesday Gou and others found that Wan Zixiong and Lu Ao had lost contact, they immediately conducted contact verification, confirming that Wan Zixiong and Lu Ao took away more than 700 combatants, 1,000 porters and others, and did not bring drivers and coachmen, so they decided that these two guys must have gone to rob, judging from the number of people taken away, the scale is not small, but I don't know where the two went.

Until the evening, a communication soldier was sent from He Laifu, who was guarding Jintan, to inform Lu Ao and Wan Zixiong to go in the direction of Benbaohua Mountain through the He Laifu Defense Zone.

Tuesday Dog slapped the table angrily: "These two bastards! ”

When the battle report came from Baohua Mountain, Chen Yi's department and He Laifu's department coincidentally sent troops to harass and contain the Japanese army, but Chen Yi's equipment was poor and he couldn't fight a positional offensive battle, and He Laifu didn't dare to send a large number of main forces without orders from the headquarters, so the containment effect was not ideal.

When He Laifu received the order to give full support, Wan Zixiong had already led his troops to break through to Qixia Mountain. Because Qixia Mountain is far away from Maoshan and Jintan, and there are several devil defense lines, Chen Yi and He Laifu discussed and decided to encircle Wei to save Zhao and take Jurong first.

As soon as Chen and He took Jurong, they met Wan Zixiong's convoy that broke through. After Chen and He learned about the battle situation, they immediately joined forces and marched to Qixia Mountain to break through the devil's defense line. However, it was repeatedly intercepted and killed by the rangers and armored vehicles on the periphery of the devil's circle, and the losses were not small, but the results were little, but they still broke through.

A telegram was sent from the West Hill Command to stop the attack. The headquarters of the Wu Mu Army was moved to Maoshan, and the leaders of the various departments and Chen Yi and the merchants of Chen Yi fought in southern Jiangsu, first, to relieve the siege of Baohua Mountain, second, to contain the Japanese army in Nanjing, to contain its all-out attack on Xuzhou, and third, to expand the war and choke the Japanese army's transportation line to Xuzhou. Decisions: 1. Chen Yi's troops occupied Jurong and made a feint attack on Nanjing; Second, Jintan He Laifu attacked Danyang, and divided his troops to flank the enemy of Baohua Mountain; 3. The heavy artillery brigade of the Kehua Department will guard the important intersection of Xishan, and the first section of the Qingyun Department will assist in the defense by guarding the center of Xishan; Fourth, most of the Qingyun Department feinted to attack Guangde and Langxi in the south; Liu Chenghai, who guarded the Xishan East Road, took Yixing and Changxing with some troops; 5. Wang Yilang's troops, who were guarding the west of Xishan and Liyang, and Li Haiyang's supplementary brigade attacked Nanjing with all their strength after taking Lishui to the west, and 6. Li Jinshan of the Intelligence Office, Liu Mao'er of the Reconnaissance Office led the reconnaissance battalion of Feng Jiuzhong, and Liu Zhenjiang's cavalry battalion to rush into Baohua Mountain to rescue, carrying medicines, ambulance personnel, and food. (At this time, Chen Yi's department had grown to more than 8,000 people, and Li Haiyang's department had also trained more than 8,000 recruits). After the order was issued, smoke billowed from the entire eastern part of Nanjing.

Hu Zhaoyue went straight to Baohua Mountain from Xishan and did not understand the entire deployment.

The first to attack was Yoo Seunghae's brigade.

Two infantry battalions attacked Changxing. Because since the establishment of the Wumu Army, although Changxing is on the edge of the West Mountain, the devils defending the city have never clashed with the Wumu Army, so the garrison is lax. With more than 2,000 people in two infantry battalions, plus well-equipped and experienced soldiers, it is a piece of cake to deal with a garrison brigade of 7 or 800 people and a gendarmerie of 100 people against the Changxing devils.

The Yixing devils suffered a small impact due to the Battle of Southern Jiangsu, and the garrison was quite tight. However, it did not take much trouble for Liu Chenghai's high-configuration combination of an infantry battalion, an artillery company, a cavalry communications platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, and a guard platoon to take down the two garrison squadrons in Yixing. After Liu Chenghai completed the task, he threw down Yixing City, handed it over to the local armed forces of the Xishan Self-Rescue Association, and ordered the two battalions of Changxing to follow him and kill Danyang together, and at the same time did not forget to report to the headquarters.

Xiang Qingyun's mission is to feint to attack Guangde and Langxi. Xiang Qingyun knew that his first brigade was the team of the Wumu Army, and its main task was to be optimistic about Lao Wo, so he only sent two reinforced companies of three battalions to attack the two county towns, each company was responsible for one county town, temporarily reinforced 2 mortars, and at the same time contacted the Tianmu Mountain guerrillas in the third war zone to coordinate operations, which was the old team left by Xue Yue.

The Tianmu Mountain guerrillas were very willing to capture these two county towns, and at the same time said that the Wu Mu Army could share more of the spoils, but the battle merits should be counted in the accounts of the Tianmu Mountain guerrillas. I couldn't ask Qingyun for it, and I gladly agreed. So the battle plan was changed to fight Guangde first, and then Langxi. The devils of Guangde quickly retreated to Langxi under the attack from both sides, and the Wumu army pursued Langxi unrelentingly, but the guerrillas of Tianmu Mountain swaggered to occupy Guangde, and only symbolically sent a platoon to pursue the devils.

Xiang Qingyun sat in Xishan, and was furious after receiving the report, he ordered the attacking troops to continue to attack Langxi, and on the other hand, he sent the remaining three battalions to rush into Guangde County, disarm the Tianmu Mountain guerrillas bloodlessly, and then pull all the food, equipment, and materials in the city back to Xishan. Xiang Qingyun couldn't help but sigh: The Tianmu Mountain guerrillas were a sharp weapon to kill devils in Xue Yue's hands, but in the hands of Gu Zhutong, they became the vanguard of internal friction, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the guerrilla brigade of more than 1,500 people was disarmed by more than 500 troops of his own battalion.

The two reinforced companies that attacked the Qingyun Department picked up an empty city in Langxibai. A garrison brigade of the Japanese army in Langxi saw that Chen Yi's division of Maoshan had captured Jurong, so it contacted the Japanese troops of Gaochun and Lishui to attack Maoshan, and happened to encounter Wang Yilang's brigade, and the battle was fierce. Wang Yilang's department had many recruits, but they were well trained and fully armed, and they had a good time fighting with the devils in Langxi with rifles, machine guns, grenadiers, mortars, and infantry guns. Langxi's devil received the report that Langxi was attacked, and hurriedly returned to defense, and was bitten hard by Wang Yilang's buttocks, arrived outside Langxi City, and was attacked by the Wu Mu army that occupied Langxi, and suffered heavy losses, fortunately, the Wu Mu army quietly retreated after plundering the supplies, and the Japanese army was lucky to "recapture" Langxi, but the casualties were more than one-half.

After Wang Yilang repelled the Langxi garrison brigade, he continued to attack Lishui to the west, but unexpectedly encountered the Gaochun garrison brigade that attacked Maoshan again, and Wang Yilang had to divide his troops to meet the battle.

At this time, more than 8,000 people from Li Haiyang's department, who cooperated with Wang Yilang's brigade to attack Lishui, crossed Wang Yilang's battlefield and went straight to Lishui, changing from an assist to the main attack. It also happened to encounter the Lishui Japanese army who attacked Maoshan secretly. Li Haiyang's troops were quite numerous, but most of them were new recruits, and they were short of heavy weapons, but relying on the strength of the large number of people and the command of experienced regular officers, they still successfully defeated the Lishui garrison brigade and took Lishui City.

After Wang Yilang and Li Haiyang met, the two had a disagreement and both wanted to attack the main attack. The two of them had a showdown on their battle plans, and found that Wang Yilang's plan was suitable for the main attack, so Li Haiyang had no choice but to admit that he was playing an assist, covering Wang Yilang's department, and building momentum for the attack on Nanjing, after all, he had more than 8,000 people.

Li Haiyang led the crowd to block several large tributaries in the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River, and Wang Yilang built a large bamboo raft. At the end of the day, the water level of the Qinhuai River was lowered, the flow rate slowed down, and Wang Yilang also built more than 100 bamboo rafts.

In the early morning, two signal flares, one red and one green, were raised, and Li Haiyang's troops quickly dug up the sandbags blocking the tributaries of the Qinhuai River, and the Qinhuai River increased rapidly.

The light and heavy machine guns on the bamboo raft swept at the devil defenders on the shore, Wang Yilang's other two battalions covered the attack along both banks of the Qinhuai River and expanded the results, and Li Haiyang's six battalions followed closely to expand the battle line and tore through the devil's outer defense line south of Nanjing with a huge wedge formation. The empty city of Nanjing was in chaos.

Wang Yilang's troops attacked the city of Nanjing, abandoned the raft and landed on the shore, and set aside 8 field guns of a heavy artillery battalion of the Kehua Department and 3 mountain guns of his own department, and bombarded the city wall of Nanjing. Except for a few alert artillery positions, the infantry and Li Haiyang's supplementary brigade swept through the Japanese strongholds and positions on the outskirts of Nanjing.

In Nanjing, the headquarters of the Japanese Army's Central China Dispatch Army was in chaos, and telegrams and telephones were "tick-tock" and "tick-tock" ringing wildly. Troops from Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Dangtu, Wuhu, Chaohu, and Chuzhou were all mobilized.

After Chen Yi led his troops to capture Jurong, he also began to attack Nanjing. At the beginning, the Japanese troops on all lines resisted stubbornly, and Chen Yi's troops did not dare to attack excessively due to the lack of heavy weapons, and with the fierce attacks of Wang Yilang and Li Haiyang's troops on the southern front, the Japanese troops on the northern front began to shrink their fronts. Chen Yi's troops took advantage of the situation and fought fiercely, and captured a lot of them, the most important thing is that they captured 3 heavy machine guns, 2 Type 92 infantry guns, and 3 mortars. Then, taking advantage of the loosening of the devil's front, a gorgeous turn, the line changed to the north and went straight to the northern foot of Baohua Mountain.

At this time, the siege of Baohua Mountain was not attacked, Zeng Qi did not chase and kill, and organized carriages and horses to transport hundreds of tons of materials looted on the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway to Maoshan, preparing to transfer Xishan later, and handed over the garrison to Liu Maoer and Li Jinshan, who received it, and led the remnants to rest on the spot.

After Wan Zixiong led the mechanized troops to break through, he was meeting He Laifu, who was marching to Danyang. He Laifu did not say a word on Tuesday's dog's order, first relieved Wan Zixiong and Lu Ao of their command, and then sent the wounded back to Xishan by truck, while the armored troops were requisitioned by He Laifu.

Since the last time Danyang was washed by the Wu Mu army, the garrison has been strengthened a lot: the strength has been strengthened from a brigade to an artillery squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, a total of 24 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 8 Type 92 infantry guns, positions and fortifications have also been greatly strengthened, and many reinforced concrete pillboxes, trenches, and fortifications have been built. However, this time, why did he have 6 tanks and 1 armored car, but the Japanese army could not transfer planes to help the war, most of the planes were on the front line in Xuzhou, and the existing planes were not enough to help in Nanjing!

He Laifu didn't use a tentative attack at all, 6 tanks were divided into 3 groups, and they ran straight towards the position of the Japanese army's West Gate, and the machine guns were specially used to hit the devil demoman; There were four demomen hanging behind the turret, using the tank to cover the Devil's bunker and the firing point, and then jumped out of the car to stuff the blasting canister into the firing point and pillbox, and on the tank, they threw grenades into the nearest trench, and the infantry followed the tank to cover violently.

The tanks gave priority to attacking the railway station, and after gaining the advantage, they attacked in three groups to the north, east and south.
