Chapter 90: Kazaka United (Ask for collections, recommended votes!) )
PS: I recommend a good-looking foreign travel history, "American Slave Owners", is also an old author, readers who have read "My Soviet Union" must know that the excitement should not be missed!
The Kazaka Wing was the first Japanese unit to rush to the Kohwa Gate, which made Kazaka Jiro very proud as the wing leader.
However, his troops were attacked by the Teaching Corps and the 87th Division under the Guanghua Gate, suffered heavy losses, and were forced to withdraw to rest, replenish the troops, and transfer to the reserve.
This is an extremely heavy blow to Jiro Ribaka, who is secretly competing with people to see Shuzo.
Therefore, when he saw the embarrassed retreat from the Tongguang barracks to the south bank of the Zhonghe Bridge, he did not feel the slightest sadness for the loss of the imperial soldiers, but had a sense of happiness!
Of course, he didn't dare to show this kind of pleasure, but he knew that the opportunity for the Kazaka United team to regain their glory had come.
They are all alumni of the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, but each of them hopes that they will be the first to carry the star on their shoulders.
Didn't Napoleon say that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier? This sentence has always been the motto of Jiro Osa Ribaka!
It's time to hit your goals!
After replenishing the troops in his wing, Jiro Kazaka took the initiative to ask the brigade commander Iide to fight and serve as the main attack on the Kokamon Gate.
Iide Xuanshi was rewarded twice by the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke because of the sneak attack and beheading of the Tongguang barracks and the Hirano brigade, and was about to be ashamed of his blood, and Jiro Ribaka's request to fight, which hit what he thought in his heart, and immediately approved his request, not only prepared a squadron of armored vehicles for him, but also removed a brigade of infantry, a mountain artillery squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, and a cavalry squadron, and the total strength was more than the first time the Kyosaka Wing hit under the Kohwa Gate!
Three thousand!
Jiro Kasaka came with great ambitions, and before going to war, he personally went to the field hospital to see the injured man Mi Shuzo, and in total, Hitomi Shuzo was still his junior brother, a rising star.
"Don't underestimate the Chinese army!" This is the advice given by Hitomi Shuisan, although he came back alive and kept the wing flag, but in the end he suffered heavy losses, and the troops were all disabled, even if he was replenished, if he wanted to restore his previous combat effectiveness, I am afraid it would take a long time.
After the first defeat of Jiro Ribaka, he summed up the reason for his failure, mainly because he rushed too fast, although there was a chariot to cover the operation, but there were no heavy weapons, it was difficult to break through the strong city defense of Guanghua Gate, plus the Chinese army was condescending, and there was artillery support!
The first siege suffered a crushing defeat, and although some of them rushed to the bottom of the city, they were still annihilated by the Chinese army.
The fighting spirit of the Chinese army is far from being as simple as an ordinary rabble.
Now it was different, he came prepared, not only with chariot cover, but also artillery support, and more importantly, the defenders of China on the city walls were much weaker than they were at the beginning.
"Order the Ito Brigade to launch an attack on time at 12 o'clock and break through the position of the Kohwamon Castle of the Shina Army!" When the car came to the front of the Chunwa Bridge, Jiro Kasaka ordered a stop, waved his hand to call the communications staff officer, and dictated the order.
"Hay!"
The Ito Brigade is the vanguard of the Sakazaka United, that is, the first Japanese brigade to arrive under the Kohwa Gate!
This Japanese brigade was defeated by the defenders under the Zhonghua Gate, and more than two-thirds of the battle was damaged.
But fate didn't seem to favor Ito Shaosa, and as soon as he entered the Tongguang barracks, he was blown up.
Although the casualties were not large, they left a heavy shadow on the entire Ito Brigade and Ito Shaosa's psychology.
He also heard that the defenders of China on Guanghua Gate were very unusual, and they were different from the China army he had seen in the past.
But no one can say for sure.
The explosion sounded, and Ito was thrown to the ground by his own guards, and when he got up, the guards had already been killed by shrapnel that had slashed the carotid artery from nowhere.
"Where there is an explosion, where there is an explosion......"
"Report Shaozuo, the Chinese army has set up a large number of mines in the barracks, and our soldiers touched the mines and were killed, and many were injured!"
"Yaga, cunning Shina." Ito gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Big brother, the Japanese army has withdrawn from the Tongguang barracks......" Cong Hu, who was observing from the city wall, turned his head with a telescope and shouted.
"Such a good opportunity, if only I had an artillery regiment at this time, I could teach the Japanese army a heavier lesson!" Leng Feng sighed.
"Big brother, we will have an artillery regiment in the future, and I will beat you up for these dogs." Tie Shan leaned over to Leng Feng and said.
"Okay, when we have an artillery regiment, you will beat the eldest brother hard!" Leng Feng smiled, and there was inevitably a trace of sadness in his laughter.
The national strength was weak, and China was too far behind Japan at this time in terms of the quality of officers and soldiers to the equipment, but the victory in this war still belonged to the Chinese nation.
Artillery regiment, now can only think about it.
However, the artillery regiment that Tieshan said will not be too far away, there will be not only an artillery regiment, but also an artillery brigade, an artillery division, and even thousands of cannons.
As he spoke, an orange-red light flashed on the gate of Guanghua Gate, and a cannonball fell into the Japanese army.
This unexpected cannonball once again opened the offensive and defensive battle of Guanghuamen!
The Japanese originally wanted to occupy the Tongguang barracks and obtain a forward attack position, but as soon as they entered, they suffered a nightmare blow.
The Japanese army did not have time to demine the Tongguang barracks, because they had lost the support of their forward positions, and the troops were completely exposed to the guns of the Chinese defenders on the city walls.
Without the support of the Tongguang barracks, the Japanese army will inevitably become extremely difficult to attack the city, which is a gift left by Leng Feng to the Japanese army.
However, this is only temporary, this will not stop the Japanese army for long, the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy are too obvious, and this is not something that can be easily reversed by manpower.
"It looks like the Japanese planes and shells are almost arriving, so let the brothers hurry into the bomb shelter and leave a few observation posts on the position." Leng Feng raised his head, glanced at the foggy sky, stood up, and ordered.
Leng Feng guessed correctly, dozens of Japanese fighters arrived over Nanjing 15 minutes ahead of schedule, and immediately attacked Guanghua Gate, Zhonghua Gate, and Yuhuatai in Nanjing...... and other positions launched a fierce bombardment.
The battleballs fell into the moat, the water column from the explosion rose into the sky, and the incendiary bombs dropped from the planes burned the walled positions into a sea of fire, and the air was filled with a choking stench.
Nauseating!
Dodo......
Rows of green smoke rose from the Japanese artillery, which was the smoke from the combustion of the primer in the barrel after the shell was fired.
In addition to the military targets in the city, government offices and residential areas were also the main targets of the Japanese army's indiscriminate bombardment.
"Little Japan on dog days, there is a kind of one-on-one heads-up ...... with Lao Tzu"
"Save some effort, you have to fight with Little Japan for a while?" The veterans, who had long been surprised, hid comfortably in the anti-artillery holes, closed their eyes, and seized the limited time to rest and recover their strength.
Buzzing......
"How many waves is this?"
"It's the third wave, it seems that the Japanese army really wants to finish the battle?" Qin Yankun stretched out his hand to push away the dirt that had fallen on the table and said.
"Well, the use of Japanese forces has also reached the limit, and if they don't break through, they won't be able to bear it themselves." Luo Yufeng said.
"As long as you hold on a little longer, maybe Nanjing City will be defended?" Qin Yankun said.
"If the troops defending the city are like us, then there is still a glimmer of hope, but now our troops are very tired, the battle losses are very large, and the morale is not as good as before, the veterans are okay, and the new recruits are very afraid of war." Luo Yufeng shook his head and said.
Ay!
Qin Yankun sighed, the teaching corps suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Songhu, although it withdrew quickly and replenished a group of recruits, but the recruits undoubtedly reduced the combat effectiveness of the entire teaching corps, and also affected the morale of the troops as a whole.
You must know that about half of the defenders in Nanjing are recruits, and some are still strong men caught halfway.
This battle can be fought in this way, and it is won by the blood and courage and human lives of Chinese soldiers.
"The Japanese artillery bombardment usually lasts five to ten minutes, and it has been a quarter of an hour at this time, and the planes are also bombing in waves, it seems that they are really anxious."
"Boom!"
A 150 grenade fell near the headquarters of the 2nd Regiment, and a huge explosion came, even if the command post was moved to the basement, it was difficult to completely avoid the huge impact of the explosion.
"Report, the Japanese have begun to charge, they are already crossing the river!"
"Grandma's, the Japanese are going to fight hard, and before the artillery is finished, they will start to charge." Luo Yufeng slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.
"Tell the brethren to take their composure and prepare to attack!" Leng Feng calmly ordered, "Battalion Commander! ”
"Here!"
"The task of your battalion is to clear a few roads leading to the walled position, you must be fast!"
"Understood!"
"Wait a minute, if you can't get around, you can use explosives."
"Yes."
"This time, one battalion will take the lead, change every two hours, and the three battalions will take turns to take the position, and we will make plans after dark."
"Is there a little less of a battalion of troops?" Qin Yankun asked.
"As long as the arrangement is properly coordinated, the use of troops may not be more, one battalion is enough, the first battalion is blocking on the position, the second battalion is ready at any time in the back, and so on!"
"Well, that's fine!"
"There are many Japanese artillery, our army is far from being an opponent, the whole regiment now has about 20 mortars, and the shells are quite sufficient, so I plan to concentrate them all and use them, and the artillery positions are located here, Dayanggou!"
"Dayanggou, it's too far, the effective range of the artillery is only about 500 meters, and this time it's 400 meters!"
"My target is not the Japanese army south of the moat, but the Japanese army who has broken through the moat and is fifty meters away from our walled position." Leng Feng explained, "There is a residential area near Dayanggou, our mortar position is hidden here, it is not easy to be discovered by the Japanese army, even if the Japanese planes bomb, according to their current means of communication, from determining the location of our artillery positions to the bombing of liaison aircraft, it will take at least half an hour before and after, without ground guidance, it is difficult for Japanese planes to accurately bomb our artillery positions!" ”
"And what about their heavy artillery outside the city?"
"Will I give them time, I have set up three artillery positions behind me, and after the fighting, I will immediately withdraw to the next one, if the Japanese army does not have accurate information, even if they have demarcated the coordinate area, it will only be empty shells, even if they know that we have three artillery positions to switch at any time, and shell the three artillery positions at the same time, the amount of ammunition required is also amazing." Leng Feng analyzed.
"That's right!"
"That's why I let the first battalion go up first, put the Japanese troops into 30 or even 20 meters to fight, and greeted them with grenades." Leng Feng calmly ordered.
