Chapter 725: Surprised

Under the surprise of the Japanese army, the Wehrmacht's counterattack against the Japanese army started so suddenly, and there was no expectation at all, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the first wave of tiger roaring artillery bombardment!

In fact, at this time, the Japanese army was already attacking very hard! Even the commander of the 106th Division, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, swore to the commander-in-chief of the attack, King Hatohiko Asakanomiya, that if he couldn't fight today, he would have to be disemboweled!

Therefore, in the first attack, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura did not hesitate to send ten tanks as the vanguard, followed by a whole brigade!

In his opinion, the defenders of Nanjing no longer had much heavy firepower. It is extremely difficult to even break a tank, and in such a situation you have an absolute advantage! If you can't beat it, then you might as well have a caesarean section!

It's a pity that he didn't know that the troops who were suspicious of Chapter 725 had been replaced by the National Defense Forces of the Three Eastern Provinces, which were not at the same level as the Nanjing garrison troops! Moreover, it is also the elite of the extremely elite First Legion in the Wehrmacht!

In order to ensure their firepower, Tu Qianjun ruthlessly dismantled more than 50 doors and 107 tigers roared to secretly transport them to Nanjing. At the same time, there were also sixty fire crows!

The rest of the Tiger assault rifles and grenadiers were not stingy at all, and they were continuously transported to Nanjing through various channels for several months.

Tu Qianjun, who had already been considered to be very good for the defense of Nanjing, did not skimp on the supply of ammunition, and only 107 tigers had prepared more than one million rounds of ammunition!

Fortunately, Wang Yajiao, who is everywhere, is not bad, and he spent a lot of bribes to finally get through the relationship. The mountain of ammunition was sent to Nanjing by boat to hide.

And for this reason, I bought a lot of houses in Nanjing. Then connect them through tunnels and store these ammunition inside to wait for the outbreak of war!

"Red Okanoro!! What the hell is going on?! Bastard! Didn't they run away?! "The commander of the 106th Division, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, had bruised in his hands, grabbed the binoculars and roared Chapter 725 in shock!

In front of Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, a man in a suit with a split head and a little overwhelmed muttered, "I...... I really don't know! I saw that all the officials had run away, and they all went to the river to take a boat......"

Long before the attack, or as early as the beginning of the Republic of China, Japan continued to install and buy students who went to study in Japan. Give them political capital, financial assistance, and let them join government agencies to carry out their own activities.

It has to be said that this approach in Japan is extremely effective. In fact, from the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army knew the movements of the entire ** well! Not only did they decipher the code, but they even had a large number of traitors in Shanghai to guide them!

The same goes for Nanjing. It's even worse here than in Shanghai. When Tang Shengzhi hadn't retreated yet, these people were hiding and didn't dare to come forward. When Tang Shengzhi retreated, these people thought that their time had come!

They all used their own channels to go out of the city and report the news of Tang Shengzhi's withdrawal to the Japanese army!

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura launched a sudden attack. But I didn't expect that I would encounter such a fierce counterattack!

"Whoosh...... Rumble! Rumble!! Although the "Type 97 ...... has been modified, its armor is still as thin as a cicada's wings in front of the 107. It only took one salvo to blast those Japanese soldiers' 97-style reforms, and they were bombed into broken parts all over the sky.

The screams of the charging Japanese soldiers were covered in 107's artillery fire, and the shells were splashed and torn apart. Blood erupted from the internal organs, and the smell of gunpowder smoke from the dirt on the broken hands and feet filled the air.

And Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura was cold from the Wehrmacht's artillery bombardment.

Unlike Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, the former defenders of Nanjing, who had just joined the National Defense Army, were enthusiastic! It was so refreshing that a burst of artillery smashed the little Japan over, and it didn't even escape the eight boxes.

Everyone was excited. It seems that this Wehrmacht is really planning to defend to the death!

Many of the original defenders of Nanjing did not believe that this army was the national defense force of the three eastern provinces, and the three eastern provinces were 108,000 miles away from here! Are they really like the one in Mr. Storyteller who has wings?! But looking left and right, they don't have any signs of wings!

"calf thing! Don't look at it, hurry up and dig the fortifications! We still have to guard against Japanese shelling! A platoon commander smiled and scolded at these new men: "Hurry up and work, the fortification is life!" If we don't fix it, we will lose our lives as soon as the heavy artillery comes! Hurry up and dig! ”

When it comes to life, no one dares to slack off! Everyone brandished their hoes and began to dig.

Beams, steel plates, sandbags...... and other things were found, and all the things found in the houses in Nanjing that could be used resisted and used. In fact, there are not many houses that can be used, and there are more places like the presidential palace for those steel plates.

And the attacking Japanese army after the first wave of tiger roaring bombardment. I took the initiative to take it down and trim it. They were hit with such heavy artillery at once, and they were a little confused.

And the Wehrmacht did not take the opportunity to pursue, and even they did not occupy the positions that the Japanese had ceded. All 107 were dismantled and transported on the spot after the first wave of bombardment. Hide everywhere.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! ......"After a while, the retaliatory shelling of the Japanese army really hit! Although there are some deviations, most of them accurately hit the gun position of the 107 Tiger roaring just now!

"That group of idiots in Nanjing, I'm afraid this Nanjing city has already been surveyed and mapped by the Japanese, right?!" Yan Chenghan sneered and said, "Damn it! This cannon shot is so accurate, I don't believe it if I didn't draw an accurate map! ”

Yan Chenghan's judgment was correct, in fact, Japan began to draw a detailed map of Nanjing long ago. Even all the latitude and longitude are clearly marked! Not even the map of the Nanjing government itself!

In fact, the three eastern provinces are better. Zhang Zuolin is very strong in this regard, as long as it is surveying and mapping, there are not a few people who are killed by him. When the Japanese asked, he said that he did it with a beard.

The warlords in the rest of the region are not as strong as Zhang Zuolin, and even if they are caught illegally surveying and mapping, they will have to be released under the strong demands of the Japanese consulate.

And Nanjing, Shanghai and other important cities in China, Japan does not know how long ago has drawn a detailed map! The outbreak of war. That's where the power of these maps comes in.

The garrison suffered a big loss as a result! Whether it was Songhu or Nanjing, the kind of precision with which their positions were shelled by the Japanese caused great losses.

At this time, the sound of artillery gradually subsided. And the 107 Tiger Roar of the Wehrmacht was assembled again, and the aiming position was the Japanese gun emplacement!

It's not just the Japanese who can survey, but the Wehrmacht too! It's not vegetarian everywhere. The situation here has been fully mapped a long time ago. Especially outside the city, a complete map of a radius of dozens of miles was presented in front of Yan Chenghan.

After a while, Huo Qingyun walked up to him and handed a note to Yan Chenghan. Yan Chenghan couldn't help but smile after taking it, and said, "Heizi." Let's be honest! Although I don't know which of our departments you belong to, I am sure that you are definitely the elite of our Wehrmacht! ”

This is the coordinates of the Japanese artillery position found after the crow sneaks out, where there are several Japanese squadrons guarding and it is not easy to break through during the day. It was the crows who could only pass the coordinates back to the ground forces for processing.

"You'd better not know who we belong to to rule Lao Yan." Huo Qingyun smiled and said to Yan Chenghan: "But this is the first time that we have fought head-on with the troops of our National Defense Force......

Huo Qingyun was telling the truth, the rest of the crow's battle was either to cooperate with the red in guerrilla warfare. Either they went behind enemy lines and fought in the territory controlled by the Japanese army in Korea.

It is basically difficult for ordinary troops to touch them, let alone fight together. Speaking of which, this rule is not broken now. The Nanjing Special Command Regiment cannot be regarded as a conventional force, even if it is taken out at random, it is the absolute elite of the ordinary national defense force!

He has at least a few battles and has made meritorious contributions.

"Let the tiger roar for a while, two waves of artillery, here are the coordinates." Yan Chenghan handed over the coordinates to his chief of staff, Feng Wenyao. The latter nodded, gave a military salute, and went down to deliver the order.

After the shelling, the Japanese launched an attack on Nanjing, as usual! This time the Japanese did not send tanks, but sent a squadron for a tentative attack.

"Whoosh...... Rumble! Rumble!! The Wehrmacht's artillery counterattack was immediately launched, and the Japanese artillery positions that had not had time to move were filled with gunsmoke on the spot!......

Countless Japanese artillery soldiers did not even expect that they would encounter retaliatory shelling from the other side. They didn't expect their position to be exposed! Caught off guard, he was bombarded!

The guns, which had just been put away and ready to be transferred, were bombarded and exploded into a cloud of scrap metal on the spot. Those flying parts smashed the unprepared Japanese soldiers with a strange croaking scream.

But in the sound of the explosion, their screams were drowned out.

"Boom! "Boom ...... "These are the shells that the Japanese army has piled up in the shell box next to it. Killed on the spot after being hit! The air currents caused by the explosion blew up clouds of dust, and the force directly knocked over the surrounding artillery.

The Japanese troops within a radius of tens of meters were all affected, and those who had been blown into pieces were blown into the air. Those who were not yet dead were torn into a pile of minced flesh in the screams drowned out by the sound of explosions.

Broken hands and feet flew everywhere, and the mules and horses that were supposed to pull the artillery were bombarded and fled.

On the hill, the crows calmly watched the situation of the artillery position. Little by little, the losses of the Japanese army were carefully calculated, and there were two other groups doing the same thing as them.

After the completion of Zhang Yan's mission in Songhu, he had withdrawn to the three eastern provinces and was reinstated. But they left two squads to form the Crow Nanjing Special Operations Team, which was commanded by Huo Qingyun.

Now Huo Qingyun has three crow squads in his hands, and each team is able to fight independently. These three teams were sent out to collect and observe the positions of the Japanese troops.

"Assessment...... The effect of the attack on the Japanese artillery position in this coordinate is complete. Incomplete statistics on destruction, lethality is more than 80%, ......" While observing with a telescope, the observing man said in a deep voice.

The other observer on the side took notes, and from time to time he raised his eyes to look through the telescope in his hand.

By this time, the shelling had ended. The Japanese garrison squadron on the side screamed bitterly, and people hurried into the artillery position to rescue. In order to avoid being discovered, these men put away their binoculars and quietly evacuated to the prepared safe area for repairs.

Their task is not a direct offensive. Rather, it provides various data for the attacking forces.

"Bastard!! How did these damn china dolphins find our artillery positions ?! Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura was furious in his own headquarters, and he pulled his collar and shouted: "Let the people below search near the artillery position!" I suspect they have infiltrated our positions! Must be searched carefully! ”

"Hay!" The adjutant replied loudly, then turned and went out to deliver orders.

Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura's intuition is very accurate, after all, he is also a top student of the Japanese Continental University, and he estimated the most likely thing in three or two clicks. More than eighty percent of the artillery positions were attacked by artillery fire, how could the artillery of the opposing team be so accurate if there were no precise coordinates to provide it?!

Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura's face was cloudy. He said to the adjutant who had returned from giving the order: "Send a report to His Royal Highness the Prince that on the morning of the 13th, ten tanks and one brigade of our attacking force were attacked by heavy enemy artillery. Subsequently, the Chinese troops attacked our artillery positions with heavy artillery. Correct. According to our informants, the commander of the Chinese troops has withdrawn from Nanjing, and it is impossible to launch a large-scale artillery bombardment......"

"It's the following officials who think that the inside story of this matter must not be simple! I also asked the prince to write down and give tactical guidance......" After saying this in one breath, the adjutant handed over the recorded words to Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura. He looked at it and saw that there were no problems, then signed and asked the adjutant to go and send the report.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! ......At this time, the Japanese troops who rushed to the front of the position were dealt a fatal blow by the courtyards on both sides! The grenadier is not only used by the Japanese army. The Wehrmacht will also use it!

The projectile grenade frantically smashed into the Japanese army, which was a tactical method applied to the Japanese army. It was a grenade thrown from a grenadier. And then there's the strafing of light and heavy machine guns!

And although the Japanese army often used this tactic, they never expected to encounter this tactic! Caught off guard, he lay down half of the attackers.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Bang! Bang! The snipers in the Bang ...... team also began to exert their power, and the first thing they cared for was the machine gun shooters and grenadier carriers in the Japanese crowd.

The Japanese troops who were cross-fired by heavy machine guns were unable to raise their heads for a while, and the ensuing sniper fire made them lose the fire support of heavy machine guns and grenadiers.

These Japanese troops who broke through could only be pressed and beaten, constantly consuming combatants.

"Red deer! Let them take it down! Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura raised his binoculars and saw that his attacking squadron was being pressed and beaten, and gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Damn it! Which unit is this?! It's definitely not the original Nanjing garrison! Bastard! Bastard! ”

Although Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura had never fought against the Wehrmacht, or even had contact with it, this did not prevent him from judging that the unit on the opposite side was no less elite than the Japanese army.

Even, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura faintly felt that this unit was more elite than ordinary Japanese divisions!

Their firepower arrangement, offensive and defensive arrangements are extremely exquisite. And he is very familiar with the tactics of the Japanese army. Projectile grenadiers and the use of light and heavy machine guns for fire suppression, and infantry to provide accurate fire has always been the combat tactics of the Japanese army.

But the opponent obviously uses this tactic as well, and they use the terrain more skillfully to form crossfire to block the dead ends. At the same time, supplemented by accurate shooting, the heavy machine guns and grenadiers of the Japanese army were knocked out at once. Without these two heavy firepower support, the Japanese army basically lost the ability to attack.

Under the crossfire of the other side, if you don't withdraw it, you can only be eliminated gradually.

When the Japanese squadron withdrew, it was only a third of what it had been able to stand. Looking at the miserable team, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura sighed.

Wehrmacht! Initially, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura's mind came to mind with this name. But then he denied it himself, the three eastern provinces are 108,000 miles away from Nanjing, and there are Japanese troops stationed in the Beijing-Tianjin area on the road, how can they kill here?!

This is simply impossible, but apart from the Wehrmacht, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, I really can't think of anyone who is so familiar with the tactics of the Japanese army and uses them so exquisitely.

"Go and find out what regiment the opposite Shina troops belong to. Also, ask our informants which of the most elite troops stationed in Nanjing. "Since it can't be the Wehrmacht. Then Junrokuro Matsuura felt that he should find out who his opponent was.

It's so uncomfortable to fight against an opponent who is completely unclear. "Hail!!" The adjutant answered and went down to question the "informants."

The Wehrmacht units that repelled the Japanese attack did not continue to hold their positions, and these veterans who had fought with the Japanese army more than once knew that the Japanese army was best at fire coverage.

If they do not withdraw from their positions in time, then the Japanese will use their own artillery fire to bomb this place directly into ruins.

"Buzzing ......" Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Japanese planes to hit the sky over Nanjing. They circled for a while and then began to fly at low altitude unscrupulously, while the bomb......s on the plane kept falling down.

"Boom, boom, boom ......" as early as when the Japanese planes came. The Wehrmacht then organized everyone, including the former Nanjing garrison that had just joined, and went into hiding.

The Japanese could not find the target for bombing. He had no choice but to drop the bomb near the coordinates provided by Junrokuro Matsuura, and swept away with the 7.7mm machine gun on board.

On the other side, King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace frowned in his own headquarters and said in a deep voice to several staff officers: "Nani?!" Are there any units in China that use heavy artillery?! Didn't I remember that their heavy artillery was destroyed by us at the beginning of the war ?! Where is the heavy artillery?! ”

King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya lit the telegram sent by Junrokuro Matsuura on the table and said in a deep voice: "I know this person Matsuura, who was known for his rigor when he was at Lu University. Since he sent such a telegram, then there must be some basis. And. The loss of more than eighty percent of the artillery unit is a great responsibility! ”

Several staff officers did not squeak, in fact the moment they received the telegram was the same thought that had just flashed through the mind of Junrokuro Matsuura: Wehrmacht!

But then they themselves felt that it was absurd, the three eastern provinces were really thousands of mountains and rivers away from Nanjing. Japanese troops were stationed all the way along the road. Will a troop cross the border without being noticed at all?!

However, apart from the Wehrmacht, what other troops can compete with the Imperial ** team?! They really couldn't think of it, and it was impossible for Britain and the United States to intervene.

But just with the troops in Nanjing, these staff officers all scoffed! From Songhu to the present. They felt that it was not impossible to annihilate the main force of the Nanjing side within a year.

Not to mention the outdated tactics and strategies of Nanjing's troops, and the weapons are simply inferior to those of the Japanese army, which is not an era! There is also the quality of the soldiers, the level of training and education, etc.

It can be said that in the eyes of the Japanese staff, the two sides are not of the same grade at all. Only the Tiger from the three eastern provinces is their ultimate opponent. For the rest, don't worry!

"Your Royal Highness, although I think it is unlikely, can we let people find out the current situation of the Wehrmacht?!" After thinking about it for a long time, one of the staff officers gritted his teeth. Said to King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace.

"To be honest, my subordinates feel that there is basically no army in China other than that tiger that is an opponent of our empire. Even the Anglo-Americans, with their small number of troops in China. Nor can it fight the Empire head-on. ”

This staff officer's words resonated with King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, and he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let the Intelligence Bureau investigate, and call Matsuura-kun by the way." Just say that I already know the situation, and let him suspend the attack and wait for news. ”

"Hay!" The staff officer stood up and replied loudly. King Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace bowed his head and said nothing, although he did not quite believe that the tiger would send someone to Nanjing.

But in fact, the Japanese army's sources have confirmed that Jiang Zhongzheng did give the order to retreat, and even Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, has withdrawn to the other side.

So who, exactly, is organizing the defense?! And who is blocking the attack of the troops?!

Outside the Nanjing position, after the Japanese fighters flew away, everyone got out again. The gunfire gradually subsided, and the former Nanjing defenders who were still a little suspicious were now completely convinced!

The Japanese tanks came over, and they even bombed the tanks together! The Japanese opened fire and they bombarded the Japanese artillery. Small forces charged. I cleaned it up in three or two clicks.

This combat effectiveness, even if they say that they are not the Wehrmacht, these men don't believe it!

"Hey...... Platoon leader! Tell me about your war! "Gu Daqi was the first to sign up, and he was the most courageous. Now that he saw this way of fighting the Wehrmacht, he was full of admiration, and the man smiled flatteringly at the platoon commander who led them to work together.

"It's okay to talk about it! But don't do any less work on your hands. The platoon commander smiled and said, "These are terrible guys, we smashed the devil's cannon this time." But it won't be long before they can bring in new cannons, and if the fortifications are not strong, they will die! ”

Gu Daqi nodded solemnly: "Platoon commander!" I know! Rest assured! Tell us about ......."

This platoon commander is not hypocritical. While doing his work, he talked about his combat experience. This platoon commander's name is Zhang Guanyu, and he is the platoon commander of the first and third platoons of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment.

"You platoon commander, I didn't catch up with the good time......" Zhang Guanyu sighed as soon as he opened his mouth, and when Gu Daqi and the others thought that he was going to say something bad about being born in the war, Zhang Guanyu said.

"At that time in 918, your platoon commander and I went to school in Beijing. In the early years, I wanted to join the Third Army of the Commander-in-Chief at that time, but my family was stunned and didn't agree! I stopped it, and then I escaped from 918. But when you join, these 918 are all over! I'm sorry for this......"

Zhang Guanyu's words directly shocked these veteran ruffians! This...... What this platoon commander wants is to rush to war! I regret it if I can't catch up, it turns out that I regret this! Gu Daqi and others couldn't laugh or cry.

"Does our commander know?! It's the commander-in-chief of the foreign devils called the 'Tiger of the Far East', and I have met it in person! Zhang Guanyu didn't wait for a while to dance with his eyebrows.

And hearing that he had actually seen Tu Qianjun with his own eyes, the interest of Gu Daqi and the others was raised again! They all stopped what they were doing and said to Zhang Guanyu: "Platoon commander, have you seen the commander-in-chief with your own eyes?!" Is he tall and strong?! Hey! The storytellers say he has three heads and six arms......"

"That group of ***, the net will bury people! Can that with three heads and six arms be a human?! Zhang Guanyu scoffed at Gu Daqi's words and snorted: "But our commander-in-chief is very tall and not very old. I'm in my twenties now! ”

"So...... So young?! Gu Daqi didn't believe it, even the youngest commanders in their troops were in their thirties. Son, brother, and young master are not nothing. But they are all hung with the false position of the headquarters.

But Tu Qianjun's fame is too great, and he is a disaster relief and a fight against Lao Maozi, and he has defeated the Japanese several times! The storytellers all spoke of him as gods. Hearing that he was so young, Gu Daqi and the others couldn't believe it for a while.

"What are you doing?! What for?! Get to work! Zhang Guanyu scolded Gu Daqi and the others for a while, and Gu Daqi and the others came back to their senses and picked up the pickaxe shovel.

"Originally, the commander-in-chief was not very old, but he was very kind. He was eating with us before we came out, and it was nothing special. It was a meal in the cafeteria of our division. Not...... Usual dish, pork stewed vermicelli. ”

"Wow~~" Gu Daqi and the others exploded the pot all of a sudden, pork stewed vermicelli is still an ordinary dish? ! Even if you are a battalion commander, you may not be able to eat meat all at once!

"What a fuss! Our Wehrmacht has fish and meat all at once, and you can eat a big bowl of white rice! Zhang Guanyu hated the way of iron and steel for these cubs under his command.

"Don't embarrass me like you've been hungry for half your life when you're eating, you know?! And remember it later! You have a military salary, and it will be paid at the end of every month! I don't owe money, but if anyone dares to give me the scourge of stealing chickens, touching dogs, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, Lao Tzu will beat him to death! ”rq!!!
