I don't know if it's affected by the overwhelming fighter planes that came today. A whole afternoon passed, and the Japanese army still did not launch an attack on the position occupied by **, but reinforced the occupied area. This was strange to the junior officers and soldiers of the various units. But those high-ranking officers knew it, and they were secretly admiring in their hearts, it was really the shadow of a famous tree, and it was not that they didn't know to be afraid. The difference is just to look at the object, "You see, as soon as Chief Su comes, the devil will immediately be stunned."

Today, Commander Su's shocking appearance shook the Japanese troops who were attacking the city on the periphery, and they quickly learned the news of Su Tong's arrival in Nanjing through the spies in Nanjing. This information was immediately placed on the desk of the new commander of the Central China China Dispatch Army, Matsui Ishone.

"Yo Si! I've long wanted to compete with this iron-blooded general who can fight the most war, and today I finally have a chance. Matsui looked at the information that had just been sent from the city of Nanjing. I was overjoyed.

Now the entire city of Nanjing is surrounded by the imperial army, and the army's ammunition and supply are all replenished by air transportation, as long as their air transportation lines are cut off. Then everyone in Nanjing City, including Su Tong, will become a turtle in the urn. At the thought that the most famous and capable general in Shina was about to be lost in his hands, Matsui Ishine couldn't help but feel angry.

After settling down, Matsui Shigen pressed the electric bell on the table and ordered to come in and go to the staff officer: "Order the Third Flying Division to rush to Longhua and Wangbin airports before this evening, and block Nanjing City for me as soon as it dawns tomorrow, so that not a single fly can fly into Nanjing City." ”

"Hey!"

"Your Excellency, Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya and His Excellency Tsukada Tsukata, Chief of Staff, are already waiting outside Mén." At this time, the guards of Mén came to report.

Matsui Shigen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and invite them in!" ”

When King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya and Tsukada Tsukashi, the chief of staff, and others rushed in, Matsui Ishine asked a few people to sit down with a smile on his face.

Matsui Shigen looked at Prince Hatohiko and others of the Asahika Palace and said, "Gentlemen" At this moment, Su Tong, the famous general of the Zhina, has arrived in the city of Nanjing, I don't know what the monarchs think? ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Prince Hatohiko's mouth in Chaoxiang Palace, "If this Su Tong nests in Chahar, my emperor's ** team may not be able to take him for a while, but now that he has run to the lonely city of Nanjing, it is he who has come to find death." ”

glanced at Matsui Ishone," Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya continued: "Matsui-kun, you must have already made arrangements. ”

"Of course!" Matsui said confidently: "Now that Nanjing City has been surrounded by the warriors of the empire, Chahar relies on nothing more than air support, we only need to cut off their air corridor, then in less than a week, Nanjing City will be at your fingertips!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace nodded with satisfaction, "Matsui-kun is worthy of it", he is the pillar of the empire. Now this Su Tong has become a banner of China's opposition to the Great Japanese Empire. Whether it is from Vladivostok, Tongliao, or Rehe, this person's hands are stained with the blood of imperial warriors, and since he has come to Nanjing City to throw himself into the net, we must destroy them to pay tribute to the heroic souls of countless soldiers who have died! ”

"Commander Matsui, Your Excellency the Prince. What worries him now is that if the air transport channel in China cannot be blocked, what will happen? The chief of staff on the side, Tsukada Tsukasaki, said with some concern, and the deputy chief of staff in the back, Muto Akira, also nodded in agreement. The shadow of the famous tree, if Su Tong was so easy to deal with, he would not become the number one henchman of the empire.

"No, Tsukada-kun, Muto-kun" You see. Matsui came to the battle map on the wall and said, "Now Shanghai has fallen into the hands of the Empire. Our access by land is already unimpeded.

It can be said that most of Jiangsu Province has fallen into our hands, and here, the troops and materials of the imperial army can be continuously transported to the periphery of Nanjing. On the other hand, the Chinese army in Nanjing was composed of a group of remnants of the defeated generals who had been defeated in the Battle of Shanghai, and they had no morale, and they relied on the air to transport even a single bullet. From this, it can be deduced that this battle of China will be defeated, and our army will be victorious. ”

Looking at the confident Matsui Ishone and Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, the corners of Tsukada's mouth squirmed and wanted to say something. But in the end, I held back. Now that the two commanders are so optimistic, they still don't want to be defeated as the chief of staff.

In the end, Matsui Shigen ordered: "Order all troops to immediately attack the city of Nanjing early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Hey!"

It was getting dark, but near the Shogunate Mountain on the outskirts of Nanjing, the newly arrived engineer battalion was leveling the land with more than a dozen bulldozers and rollers that had just been driven out of the giants and transport planes. Expansion of the airport area. Their task was to quickly level a large enough flat land. It is used to park a large number of warplanes that will arrive tomorrow.

Although Su Tong showed a fearless look in front of everyone, he was still a little worried about the fierce battle that was coming tomorrow, after all, he just came in a hurry, and everything was transported by air, so it is conceivable that Matsui Ishine would not fail to notice this. The ownership of air supremacy will be a crucial key, and for Su Tong, tonight will be the most critical night.

Su Tong paced back and forth a few times and pondered, "More than 100 fighters still don't seem to be enough, in order to prevent Matsui, an old devil, from going crazy, it seems that we have to continue to increase our air power" At least all the Air Division must be transferred......

Commander Su, who has always believed in the strength of many people, thought of the more than 200,000 Japanese troops on the outskirts of Nanjing, and he couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of the transport plane. If it weren't for the risk of using the airship during the day, Su Tong would have ordered the airship to set off.

Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, Su Tong couldn't help but feel a little anxious, if the group of planes could not arrive before dark, it would bring great risks to the landing.

Suddenly, there was a roar from the north: "After a while, even the sound of bulldozers working on the airport could not stop the growing roar." After a while, a large group of black pressure planes appeared in the sky, wasn't that the same group of transport planes that had gone and returned?

Seeing the arrival of the transport planes, Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thought with regret, "After tonight, these transport planes will not be able to penetrate between Chahar and Nanjing so unscrupulously." The Japanese planes will definitely intercept the second, and these slow and cumbersome ME-323 transport planes will be the best targets. It seems that the only way to operate at night is by airship......

, "Woo..................

Watching a large transport plane land was always a thrilling thing, and the green smoke coming out of the dozen or so huge wheels when they first touched the runway always made Su Tong's heart feel a little uncomfortable. When one after another, the giants, and the transport planes docked on the runway, and the one who followed, Aunt Juncker, also began to slowly land. Soon the airport was packed with these planes.

, "Report to the commander, Peng Zeyuan, commander of the 10th Infantry Division, was ordered to report for duty! ”。 A calm voice sounded in Su Tong's ears.

Looking at the soldiers who were getting off the transport plane, Su Tong nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Peng Zeyuan, "Senior Commander Peng, are you ready for a tough battle this time?" ……

Peng Zeyuan stepped forward and reported loudly, "Report to the sir." The officers and men of our 10th Division have been ready for a long time. Unless we all die in battle, we will never let the devils step into the city of Nanjing. ”。

"Yes! …… Su Tong continued: "There are still 80,000 brother troops in Nanjing City, but they have just retreated from Shanghai, and they are dissatisfied with the establishment and low morale, and they are all staring at us. You Peng Zeyuan can't lose the face of our Seventh War Zone......

"Yes, the lowly position must remember the teachings of the chief, and will never lose the face of our Chahar. Peng Zeyuan's words were full of pride in Chahar.

"Good! You hurry up and take the troops near the airport to rest for the night, I believe that there will be a bad battle waiting for you tomorrow, go "settle the troops first, and I will return to you tomorrow to arrange tasks." Su Tong waved his hand. Let Peng Ze go away to reorganize the troops......

The night slowly faded, a new round of the morning sun rose again, and dozens of mouth offices rushed into the sky, everyone knew that today was destined to have a fierce battle.

Su Tong, who had not slept all night, looked at the more than eighty huge airships that had just arrived at the airport and had not finished unloading the supplies, and the materials piled up on the airport as high as several xiǎo mountains, and finally felt a little confident in his heart. He instructed the commander of the newly arrived airport garrison regiment to hurry up and immediately rush to the Nanjing garrison headquarters in the city after arranging the antiaircraft artillery position.

After daylight, under the supervision of Matsui Ishone, the Japanese army began to attack the last and most important defensive positions of Lion Rock, Yuhuātai, and Purple Mountain, which was the key direction of the Japanese attack, and the 83rd Army stationed there was under tremendous pressure. In just one morning, the Japanese army's heavy artillery brigade continued to pour tens of thousands of heavy artillery shells on Yuhuātai, and Deng Longguang, commander of the 83rd Army, had already asked Su Tong at the headquarters for help several times.

Su's wife ordered Deng Longguang to hold on until 12 o'clock at noon, and naturally reinforcements would come over to change the defense.

Putting down the phone, Su Tong's face was full of anger, "Okay, you have Matsui Shigen, do you have fewer planes to bully Lao Tzu?" After all the first division arrives, let's see how Lao Tzu cleans you up......

Early this morning, the Japanese army dispatched all more than 200 fighters of the Third Flying Division to compete with Su Tong for air supremacy over Nanjing, so that the First and Second Flying Regiments of the First Air Division had no time to take care of anything else and could not support the ground troops, otherwise Yuhutai would not have fought so hard.
