Wang Shihe is right, the Baoshan group has indeed reached the last moment!

Until January 7, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), the position of the Baoshan Regiment was still immovable.

Without the artillery support of the mountain artillery wing, the Kunisaki detachment appeared to be a little weak in attacking the fortifications, and the 37mm main gun of the tank opened fire at a distance of 500 meters, and it was impossible to penetrate the main pillbox group on the position of the Baoshan regiment.

These "incendiary bombs" were made by Yue Weihan using the oil he had intercepted last time and sealed them in clay pots, and seven or eight clay pots smashed over them by one guy, not only could they not burn the chariot, but they could also roast the crew inside to death!

Gas bombs? It's also used, but as long as this thing is on guard in advance, the lethality will be sharply reduced.

White phosphorus bombs? It's useless at all, there is nothing to burn on the position of the Baoshan regiment, and it is useless to use it.

Blockbuster bombs? The quality of the little devil pilots is really good, but if they want to accurately throw the bomb on the pillbox with a diameter of only a few meters, it will be difficult for some strongmen, and it is useless to dive and throw the bomb, this fast speed, the fingers are shaking casually, and the error will be tens of meters.

However, the onslaught of the Kunisaki detachment was not without results.

In fact, since the day before yesterday, the ammunition of the Baoshan regiment has begun to run out of urgency.

To this day, the Baoshan regiment can basically only rely on picking up ammunition from the corpses of the soldiers in front of the position, but this kind of supply method obviously cannot last, and the last moment has come.

………… When it was almost dark, the little devil finally retreated again.

However, this time the little devil learned to be obedient, and before the defeat and retreat, he took away most of the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and now, the ammunition that the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Regiment can collect is pitiful, and it is obvious that tomorrow's battle will be more difficult than today, without ammunition, the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Regiment can only use bayonets and human lives to fight with the devils.

War correspondent Zhao Xinyi returned to the regiment headquarters with a heavy heart, she had just returned from the field hospital.

The battle of Jiangpu has reached its most tragic and cruel time, and the number of wounded sent to the field hospital every day has also increased dramatically, but what makes people feel extremely sad is that the medicine in the field hospital has run out! Although Dr. Hanako's medical skills are excellent, she is also unable to save the seriously injured without medicine.

Seeing the soldiers close their eyes forever because of lack of medical treatment, Zhao Xinyi's mood was depressed to the extreme.

Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Zhao Xinyi took out a notebook again, and then picked up a pen and wrote down a line of handwriting: The 11th day of the battlefield story: The battle of Jiangpu has entered the eleventh day, and it has also entered the most cruel time, and the Baoshan regiment is now short of guns, ammunition, food, and medicine!

In particular, drugs are urgently needed, hemostats, penicillin and anesthetics are urgently needed!

Due to the lack of ammunition, the officers and soldiers could only fight the devils with bayonets!

Due to the lack of medicines, a large number of officers and soldiers die every day because of wound infection!

Due to the lack of food, the officers and soldiers can only go hungry and fight with the devils, writing this, I really feel extremely sad, the brave soldiers shed blood on the battlefield every day, sacrifice every day, but I can't help anything, even if it is to cook a meal for them, let them eat enough and then go to the battlefield...... As it was written, two lines of tears had already slipped down Zhao Xinyi's cheeks.

Zhou Bowen next to him hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and said with concern: "Xinyi, why are you crying?" ”

"Nothing." Zhao Xinyi hurriedly wiped away her tears, and was about to write a few more sentences, when the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps had already sounded from outside, and then several figures had already entered highly, and the one who walked in front was Yue Weihan, the head of the Baoshan Regiment, Zhao Xinyi and Zhou Bowen hurriedly got up to greet each other.

"You two, it's time for you to leave." Yue Weihan said coldly.

Zhou Bowen was stunned when he heard this, but Zhao Xinyi said without thinking: "No, we don't leave, we want to stay!" ”

"As war correspondents, your mission has been accomplished." Yue Weihan frowned and said, "As the head of the Baoshan Regiment, I must consider your safety, now, please leave immediately!" ”

"Nope." Zhao Xinyi said with a firm expression, "We want to stay!" ”

"Xinyi is right, we want to stay!" Zhou Bowen also waved his fist and said impassionedly, "Commander Yue, please give us two guns, we will fight side by side with the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Regiment!" ”

Yue Weihan looked at Zhou Bowen coldly, and then turned back to Tang Dashan and said, "Let's go!" ”

Tang Dashan waved his hand, and four soldiers pounced on him like wolves and tigers, and picked up Zhou Bowen and Zhao Xinyi in twos and left, Zhou Bowen's face suddenly changed greatly, and he struggled hard: "Let go of me, what are you doing?" ”

Zhao Xinyi didn't struggle, but said calmly: "Commander Yue, can you let me send out today's battlefield note first, and then leave?" ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly let go.

Yue Weihan said again: "I'll give you ten minutes, and you must leave after ten minutes!" ”

………… Jiangpu Town, Kunisaki Detachment Headquarters.

As early as the day after the destruction of the Mountain Artillery Wing, Noboru Kunisaki personally led the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 21st Wing out of Jiangpu Town, cutting off the connection between the Baoshan Regiment and Pukou, and at the same time ordered the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the 21st Wing to be stationed in the small villages on both flanks of the Baoshan Regiment's position, forming a situation of encirclement with the 11th Infantry Wing on all sides.

Obviously, Major General Noboru Kunisaki is determined to swallow the Baoshan group in one bite!

Chief of Staff Yasuda Dazuo walked in with a solemn expression with a telegram, and said: "Your Excellency General, the Supplementary Corps Wing and the Heavy Baggage Brigade have entered Hexian, and Your Excellency the Commander has sent another urgent telegram, limiting us to deal with the enemy in front of us within two days, and then capture Pukou, and then quickly move north along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and cooperate with the 13th Division and the 18th Division to capture Bengbu. ”

"Three days?" Kunizaki nodded and said in a cruel voice, "No, it won't take three days, and we will launch a general attack tomorrow to completely eliminate the Baoshan Regiment!" ”

………… Nanjing, Xiaguan Wharf.

The entire dock has been completely under martial law, and within a radius of several hundred meters has been completely controlled by the military police of the headquarters.

Under the dark night sky, on the cold and windy wharf, a large group of senior generals gathered here, led by Tang Shenzhi, commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Garrison Theater, and standing behind Tang Shenzhi were Xu Yuanquan, Sun Yuanliang, Wang Jingjiu and others.

Seeing that Tang Shenzhi was reluctant to get on the boat for a long time, Xu Yuanquan couldn't help but be anxious, and said, "Commander Tang, what are you waiting for?" ”

Tang Shenzhi looked back and looked deeply at the city of Nanjing, which was still fighting fiercely at night, and said with a gloomy expression: "Although the more than 700,000 refugees stranded in Nanjing City have all crossed the river and transferred, we can be regarded as having an explanation for the party-state and the nation, but it is really not a good feeling to leave the troops and cross the river alone......

"There's no way around it." Sun Yuanliang sighed and said, "The devils are bombing every day, the ferries are decreasing every day, and now the remaining boats can only transport a few hundred people across the river at a time......

Wang Jingjiu also said: "Besides, we didn't leave the troops behind, aren't there still Lieutenant General Gui?" ”

In a street battle yesterday, Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing personally led the command corps to fight back to the death, and was picked in the abdomen in the white-knuckle fight with Yue Kou.

Lieutenant General Gui knew that he couldn't survive, so he volunteered to stay and break off!

"Commander Tang, you can leave with confidence, it is enough for me to be here."

Regarding the departure of Admiral Tang and others, Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing did not have any dissatisfaction in his heart.

The battle has reached this point, everyone has done their best, more than a dozen divisions and more than 100,000 people in the Nanjing Garrison Theater have also fought until there are only more than 10,000 people left, and most of the refugees in Nanjing have been transferred, there is no need to fight with the devils anymore, at this time, it is good to retain even a little more resistance force.

"Hey." Tang Shenzhi sighed heavily and said, "Brother Gui, then I will wronged you!" ”

Liu Xing, chief of staff of the Nanjing Garrison Theater, stepped forward and shook hands with Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing, and said earnestly: "Brother Yongqing, Nanjing will entrust you, if the situation can still persist after dawn, you may as well hold on for a few more days, if the situation collapses irreparably, then you can telegraph and order all divisions to cross the river and retreat north in turn, remember to remember." ”

Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing raised his right hand on the stretcher with difficulty and saluted: "Please rest assured, Yongqing will never be dishonored!" ”

"Then please." Liu Xing clasped Gui Yongqing's left hand, shook it vigorously again, and immediately turned around to board the ship, and the rest of Xu Yuanquan, Song Xilian, Ye Zhao, Yu Jishi, Wang Jingjiu, Sun Yuanliang, Deng Longguang and other senior party-state generals also followed on the boat, and soon, the ferry quietly left the Xiaguan Wharf under the cover of night.

At this time, the street battles in Nanjing City were still in full swing, and the [***] soldiers who were fighting with Yue Kou did not know that their commander-in-chief and most of the senior generals at the army and division level had left them in Nanjing City, and they did not go to Pukou, but went directly up the river to Hankou!

General Tang, who was determined to live and die with Nanjing City before the war, finally fled.

Admiral Tang's farewell message, which had been carefully brewing for more than half a month, was not filmed in the end, and he would never have a chance to lose his hair, and many high-ranking generals of the party-state who had been fighting with Yue Kou in Nanjing for more than half a month could not overcome their fear of death after all, and on the eve of the complete fall of Nanjing, they left their mutilated troops and fled...... After a long time, Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing said to the guards beside him: "Carry me up and go back to the headquarters." ”

Although Commander Tang is gone, he Gui Yongqing is still there, as long as he Gui Yongqing is there, he will not want to easily step through the Rujiang Gate and Xiaguan Wharf!
