Chapter 70: Miracles
Yasuda Daisa's military order could not be conveyed in time, and the six infantry brigades that had been fully deployed and charged forward at a rapid speed soon came into contact with the last remaining 700 remnants of the Baoshan Regiment, and several Chinese armed forces brought over from the northwest, due north, and northeast soon reached the ass of the Yue army.
At this time, even if Yasuda Daisa's military order was conveyed, it would be useless.
At this time, the little devil's excellent military literacy has helped, [***] guerrillas, local security teams, militia groups and bandits have already poked their big knives and spears into their eyes, they are still desperately charging forward, before receiving new orders, they can only keep attacking forward, attacking, and attacking again until the Baoshan regiment is defeated!
However, of course, Yue Weihan would not let the little devil get his wish, he let the more than 700 remnants of the Baoshan Regiment set up a dense circular formation between the three main bunkers, only the outermost more than 200 people and the little devil were in short arms, and if the physical strength was exhausted, they could also retreat into the formation to rest a little, and replace other officers and soldiers with sufficient physical strength to step forward and fight the stab.
Suddenly, the more than 700 remnants of the Baoshan Regiment became a big hedgehog covered with spikes.
The devil soldiers who rushed up from Hulala were in a wave-like charging formation, and when they rushed to the front of the Baoshan regiment, the devil soldiers found that they had to face at least three or five large knives on a bright and bright scale, and sharp bayonets on both sides pierced them from time to time, and they could be pierced through the heart if they were not careful.
This guy, the little devil can't give full play to the advantage of being outnumbered, but he suffers a big loss!
Even Yue Weihan himself didn't expect that the circular formation of the Cold Weapon Era could still play such a great effect on the battlefield of modern warfare!
But then again, this trick only works for the old devils of the veteran division of the army.
Only well-disciplined and well-trained old devils will strictly follow the rules of the infantry code, withdraw the bullets in the chamber before stabbing, and the machine guns will not participate in white-knuckle fighting, and replace them with [***] or [***] guerrillas, so you don't care about these, you have so many people gathered together, people pick up machine guns and fight over, and you are lucky not to die ten or eight.
In less than a moment, the guerrillas, security forces, militia groups, and bandits suddenly poured into the war group, and although the quality of the personnel of these armed forces was uneven, there were bandits, peasants, guerrillas who struggled on the death line all year round, and even security guards who smoked a lot, but there were many of them, and there were 20,000 or 30,000 people in the whole group!
On the other hand, the Kunisaki detachment, after nearly half a month of fierce fighting, now only more than 4,000 remnants of the army are defeated.
Although the headquarters of the Central China Front has already transferred a whole wing of reinforcements, these more than 3,000 reservists and a large number of baggage are still far away in Hexian, which is 100 miles away, at least it is impossible to rush here before dark, and it is obviously impossible to win this chaotic battle with more than 3,000 exhausted devil soldiers alone.
If the two armies are put together to fight a positional battle, the Kunisaki detachment, with its firepower advantage, can easily destroy these miscellaneous armed forces that rushed to reinforce, but this will be the soldiers of the Kunisaki detachment have already withdrawn bullets and want to fight with the remnants of the Baoshan regiment with bayonets, but these miscellaneous armed forces suddenly came out, these Chinese can really pick the time!
More than 4,000 remnants of devils were soon overwhelmed by the Chinese who came in like a tide.
Speaking of which, this is probably a spectacle in the history of modern warfare, since the advent of machine guns, war scenes such as this in the era of cold weapons have basically become extinct, but today, such a scene has reappeared in the Jiangpu battlefield, and it actually hit the elite Kunisaki detachment of the army in one fell swoop!
………… In Gangpo Town, Major General Noboru Kunisaki finally woke up from his coma.
Shaking his head, which was still a little dizzy, the first thing Kunisaki Noboru said after waking up was: "Yaga, immediately arrest the people in the town, and all of them are dead, dead, drip......"
Before the words fell, the sound of landslides and tsunamis-like killing had already reached Kunisaki's ear holes.
"Has the general offensive begun?" Kunisaki Noboru frowned, quickly raised the telescope in his hand, and his face suddenly changed when he saw it, and when he turned around, he grabbed the placket of Second Lieutenant Kato's clothes, and said angrily, "Yaga, where are so many people?" Where did these damn Shina people come from? Why don't you report it back to me!? ”
"Your Excellency, you have been unconscious, I can't report it to you." Second Lieutenant Kato was miserable.
"Then you can report to Yasuda-kun!" Kunisaki became more and more furious and said, "Why don't you report Yasuda-kun!?" ”
Second Lieutenant Kato was so anxious that his face turned green, and he said in a panic: "Your Excellency General, I have already reported to Yasuda Daisa." ”
"What? Already reported? Noboru Kunisaki's facial muscles suddenly began to twitch violently, and he immediately loosened the placket of Second Lieutenant Kato's shirt and said angrily, "Yaga Yaru, Yasuda Jiu, this stupid, idiot!" Why didn't he stop the general offensive, why didn't he divide his forces to block it? ”
Before the scolding fell, Second Lieutenant Kato suddenly shouted: "Your Excellency General, the person has been killed!" ”
When Kunisaki Noboru looked back, he saw that the people on the battlefield in front of him had rushed towards Jiangpu Town like the tide of the embankment, and there was no longer a standing Imperial Army soldier on the position.
"Yaga Yaru!" Noboru Kunisaki's face suddenly lost all blood.
But soon, Kunisaki Noboru regained his composure, and immediately rushed to the field hospital next to the headquarters with his saber!
………… Shanghai is called the concession, and it is called the headquarters of the Central China Front.
Major General Tsukada, Chief of Staff, hurriedly entered Matsui Ishone's office, and suddenly retracted his feet and said: "Your Excellency, the advance headquarters has sent an urgent telegram, saying that this imperial army has eliminated all the stubborn remnants of the Chinese enemy, and Nanjing, the capital of the Chinese people, has been captured by us!" ”
Matsui Ishone nodded, but there was no joy on his face.
In a small Nanjing city, more than 100,000 Chinese remnants were defeated, but it took more than half a month to fight down, which made Matsui Shigen, who is known as an expert in attacking fortifications, feel quite disgraced, and most importantly, in order to capture Nanjing, all field divisions and regiments participating in the war suffered heavy losses, and the number of casualties was only afraid that it would not be less than that of the Chinese.
After a moment of silence, Matsui Shigen said again: "What are the casualties of each division?" ”
Major General Tsukada's expression immediately became extremely heavy, and he said: "Most of the divisions and regiments participating in the battle suffered heavy casualties, except for the 18th Division, the 13th Division, and the 6th Division, which suffered slightly smaller casualties, the remaining six divisions have suffered more than half of the casualties, and it will be difficult to recover their combat effectiveness without three to five months of rest." ”
"More than half of the six divisions were killed or wounded?" Matsui Shigen couldn't help but gasp, "Nearly 100,000 people!? ”
"Hello." Tsukada suddenly bowed his head and said with a gloomy expression, "Moreover, there are more than 60,000 dead soldiers!" ”
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Matsui Shigen suddenly stood up and said with an awe-inspiring expression, "More than 60,000 people killed in battle? ”
"Hello." Tsukada lowered his head again, and said in a solemn tone, "The street fighting in Nanjing City is really tragic, the Chinese army guarding Nanjing is completely a group of red-eyed outlaws, they pull grenades at every turn and die with the imperial warriors, as long as there are more than three imperial soldiers gathered together, the opposite Chinese soldiers will immediately rush over with explosives bags...... These people are crazy, and death has become a relief for them! ”
Matsui Ishine was silent, 60,000 people were killed, which was definitely a terrible number that he did not expect!
In the previous Battle of Songhu, the Central China Front defeated more than 70 Chinese divisions in front of it, and only suffered more than 50,000 casualties, of which less than 20,000 were killed, and a small Nanjing City, more than 100,000 Chinese [***] teams actually caused 100,000 casualties to the Central China Front, of which the number of casualties was as high as 60,000!
There are not many such battles to defend Nanjing, and if there are a few more times, most of the active veterans of the Great Imperial Army will be exhausted, and the Great Imperial Army will completely lose the ability to attack in an all-round way!
"What about the Kunisaki detachment?" Matsui Ishine finally thought of the Kunisaki detachment again, and said sharply, "What is Kunisaki doing this stupid guy?" There is only one branch of the defeated corps in Jiangpu Town, more than 3,000 people, and he has been fighting for nearly half a month with a mechanized elite brigade that cannot be annihilated, what is going on? ”
At this moment, Matsui Ishine vented all his anger on Kunisaki Deng!
Originally, if the Guozaki detachment could quickly annihilate the Baoshan Regiment, the heroic unit in the eyes of the Chinese, the [***] squadron in Nanjing was likely to lose the will to resist, and at least the senior generals of the [***] squadron would definitely lose confidence in resisting.
Matsui Ishone's voice fell, and Major General Mamoru Iinuma, chief of staff of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, walked in with a solemn expression and said, "Your Excellency, you just received a farewell message from Major General Noboru Kunisaki!" ”
Matsui Shigen turned his head suddenly, stared at Mamoru Iinuma deadly, and said awe-inspiringly, "What did you say?" ”
Mamoru Iinuma suddenly straightened his feet, bowed his head and responded: "Your Excellency, Major General Kunisaki Noboru has just sent a farewell message, and the Kunisaki detachment has been collectively shattered on the Jiangpu battlefield!" ”
"It can't be." Major General Tsukada next to him shouted in disbelief, "This is absolutely impossible! ”
Matsui Shigen also couldn't believe it, the Kunisaki detachment was the elite of the elite of the imperial army, and it had a mixed brigade of nearly 10,000 troops, while the opposite squadron [***] team only had one Baoshan regiment, whether it was strength or firepower, the Kunisaki detachment had an absolute advantage, no matter how powerful Yue Weihan was, could he really turn the sky over?
Major General Mamoru Iinuma was speechless, he couldn't believe it was true, but it was true!
Major General Noboru Kunisaki had indeed committed suicide, and as an imperial samurai, it was impossible for him to joke with his reputation.
