Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 43 Street Battle (I)

Entrenched in the tofu workshop is the Japanese army's 6th Division Kagoshima Wing (45th Infantry Wing) of the special brigade, the Japanese army does not have a so-called special brigade, this is just a temporary formation, the reason why Gu Shoufu and Ushijima Mitsuru want to form such a special brigade, of course, is to compete for the first fall in Nanjing.

The commander of the Kagoshima task force was Yoshiharu Takeshita, and the members of the team were drawn from various infantry brigades, and there were more than 300 people when they first entered Nanjing, but after a fierce battle with the Jiangfang regiment yesterday afternoon, there were less than 200 people left.

Speaking of Takeshita Yoshiharu, the Chinese may not have much impression, but his classmates of Lu Shi in the same period have a few ruthless roles, Okamura Ningji, Sakagaki Seishiro, Dohihara Kenji and Ando Toshikishi, Zuihou have all become generals, because of these old devils, the sixteenth issue of Lu Shi is known as the "Sixteenth Glorious Phase" in the Japanese military circles.

However, Takeshita Yoshiharu's promotion speed really can't be compared with a few of his classmates, like Okamura Ningji, Sakagaki Seishiro, and Dohihara Kenji have all been promoted to the commander of the lieutenant general division at this time, but Takeshita Yoshiharu is still just a big sa, and his position is even more pitiful.

In terms of military rank, position and ability, Takeshita Yoshiharu is far inferior to his classmates, but in terms of ferociousness, Takeshita Yoshiharu is not inferior to his notorious classmates at all

Yoshiharu Takeshita is venting his beastly desires on a poor girl from the country of Nakaku, and the movement is so loud that Takayuki Noguchi, who remains outside, can't even calm down and write a letter to his family.

Takayuki Noguchi, the lieutenant of Yoshiharu Takeshita, graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School last year, and he was born into a poor fisherman family in Kagoshima, his parents died at an early age, and his sister was raised as a prostitute.

However, Noguchi Takayuki can't let go of the most, or his lover Chiba Hanako, but their relationship is not accepted by the future father-in-law, thinking of Hanako's letter to tell him that her father is forcing her to have a relationship with a duke's son, and even forcing her to get engaged, Noguchi Takayuki's heart is full of strange irritability.

The letter was only written at the beginning and could not be written, and his ears were full of the wheezing sound of the deputy wing commander, and the cursing of the woman of the Nakakuni country, although Takayuki Noguchi was only a second lieutenant, he still disagreed with Takeshita Yoshiharu's bestiality, and he felt that as a true samurai, he should not insult women, even if she was a woman from an enemy country.

Of course, Takayuki Noguchi would not be arrogant enough to interfere with Takeshita's behavior.

A few minutes later, a panting Takeshita Yoshiharu walked out of the inner room, and Takayuki Noguchi put away the letter and put it in his satchel, and Takeshita Yoshiharu caught a glimpse of it and asked, "Noguchi-san, are you writing to your fiancΓ©e?" ”

Takeshita Yoshiharu still attaches great importance to his adjutant, Noguchi Takayuki not only has excellent military skills, outstanding marksmanship, swordsmanship is taught by the Shinto Wunian Liuliu, it is said that he already has seven levels of attainment, if it weren't for his humble background, this kid would have been promoted to lieutenant and admitted to the Army University.

Yoshiharu Takeshita also knew that Takayuki Noguchi had a lover, and he would be in a daze at a photo from time to time, and it could be seen that the two had a very good relationship, since the Kagoshima United landed on Kaneyamawei, the entire wing from the captain to the privates, almost all of them were raping Nakakukuni women, but Noguchi Takayuki had no interest in Nakayama women.

"Captain, we're not engaged yet." Takayuki Noguchi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and sighed again, "Hanako's father was against our relationship, and before I set out, I didn't even get to see Hanako. This is also the thing that Takayuki Noguchi regrets the most, he doesn't know if he can still be zaijian Hanako in this life.

"Nani?" Takeshita Yoshiharu was stunned when he heard this, he really couldn't imagine that there were still people who couldn't look down on a young handsome man like Takayuki Noguchi.

Seeing Noguchi Takayuki's depressed expression, Takeshita Yoshiharu said again: "Noguchi-san, you don't have to care too much, just rely on your military exploits for the Great Nichi-sin Empire, I dare to guarantee that when you return home in triumph, that old thing with low eyes should cry and shout to marry his daughter to you, hahaha." ”

Takayuki Noguchi was silent, he was not as optimistic as Yoshiharu Takeshita.

Yoshiharu Takeshita smiled more and more cheerfully, and said loudly: "Noguchi-san, our Kagoshima Task Force is the first unit to attack Nanjing!" As soon as the kingdom surrendered, it was time for us to return home to the cheers of the entire empire, not only to be inspected by the emperor in Kyoto, but also to participate in a grand triumphal ceremony in Tokyo! ”

Takayuki Noguchi said, "I hope we can live until the day we return home." ”

Takeshita Yoshiharu said: "Noguchi-san, not a wish but a certainty, we will definitely be able to return to China alive, the complete collapse of the Shina army is imminent, Nanjing is about to open her arms to the Imperial Army, hehe, the capital of this ancient empire, the precipitation of five thousand years of civilization, will belong to our Great Nippinichi Empire, hehe!" ”

Seeing that Noguchi Takayuki still couldn't get rid of his depression, Takeshita Yoshiharu said again: "Noguchi-san, it's time for you to relax and relax, although you have learned kendo since you were a child and are outstanding in ninjutsu, but people have limits, if the strings collapse too tightly for too long, they will break." After a pause, Takeshita Yoshiharu smiled lewdly and said, "Besides, the woman in it is really good." ”

Takayuki Noguchi could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

##########

Under the cover of night, more than 600 officers and men of the 19th Brigade had quietly reached a small alley east of the Tofu Factory, where two circular barricades were erected, and more than 20 remnants of the Jiangfang Regiment were stuck here.

Yesterday during the day, Liao Ken personally led the Jiangfang Regiment to fight a counterattack, although Zuihou lost, but the remaining more than 100 people of the Jiangfang Regiment still stuck to the alleys around the tofu factory, and saw a large group of German mechanics with steel helmets and flower organs on their shoulders, and the officers and men of the Jiangfang Regiment were immediately relieved.

After learning about the enemy's situation from the Jiangfang Regiment, Xu 19 quickly made combat arrangements.

Xu Shijiu's combat deployment was very simple, so simple that it could even be said to be brutal: he personally led fifty veterans with excellent marksmanship to open the bloody road from the main street in the middle, Gu Wei led the L Company and the guard platoon to follow up, Hu Jie led the artillery company to cooperate with the commando to move and clear the Japanese army's solid firepower points at fixed points, and Lu Yong led 2 companies and One-eyed Dragon led 3 companies to attack from the alleys on both sides in parallel.

If embodied on the map, the Nineteenth Brigade would form three attack arrows, advancing side by side from east to west.

To put it bluntly, this is completely a desperate style of play, in order to strengthen the attack as much as possible, Xu Nineteen did not even leave a reserve, once the attack in the middle does not go well, it will be over directly, when the time comes, let alone purge Xiao Ri Ben, Xiao Ri Ben will come over with a counterattack, and the Nineteenth Brigade is afraid that it will not even be able to hold on to the same place, which is even worse than the Jiang Defense Regiment.

But then again, sometimes the simpler and rougher the way to fight, the more effective it is.

In Xu Shijiu's words, the battle has been fought to this point, and there is still so much need to have scruples? In a word, tear away Jiashi and fight to the death, either Xiao Ri is done playing, or the 19th Brigade is resting! When the brave meet on a narrow road, this is a street battle, and the test is no longer the commander's command attainments, but the courage and determination of all officers and men

"Brothers, I don't want to lie to you, the city of Nanjing is already in danger!" Xu 19 is mobilizing fifty daredevils before the war, "Just yesterday afternoon, Xiao Ri Jian used cannons to collapse two city walls, one is in Guanghua Gate, and the other is next to Zhonghua Gate, the entrance of Guanghua Gate has been blocked, but the entrance of Zhonghua Gate has not been blocked yet, more than 300 little devils have occupied the tofu shop in front, and the task given to us by the division is to eliminate this group of little devils." ”

The faces of the fifty veterans suddenly showed a look of misery, and only then did they know that they were going to fight in the streets.

Most of these veterans had participated in the Battle of Songhu, how could they not know the cruelty of street fighting? What is Street Fighting? Street fighting is the enemy and us in the narrow lanes, complex buildings in the hand-to-hand combat, desperate to the death, in that complex environment, life and death only in a blink of an eye, a grenade, a cold gun can send you on the road, no matter how rich the combat experience is useless.

The most dangerous thing is street fighting! If they had a choice, these veterans would rather stay on their positions and be bombarded indiscriminately by Xiao Nik's planes and artillery than engage in street fighting.

But it was clear that they had no choice.

"This battle is not easy to fight, the streets and alleys of Tofu Fang are narrow, the buildings are dense, Xiao Ri has already occupied the geographical advantage, although we have an advantage in troops and firepower, but the advantage is not obvious, and there is not much time left for us, we only have four hours, we must clear this little devil before dawn!"

More than 500 veterans looked more and more miserable, street fighting, geographical advantage is almost decisive, 600 people against 300 small days, even if enough time is left for the 19th Brigade, the victory or defeat is only 55, but now, the 19th Brigade has to clear this group of little devils before dawn, this is almost an impossible task.

"But don't be too pessimistic, as the old saying goes, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, as long as we show the confidence to win and the courage to die, it will never be a problem to kill this group of little days." Xu Shijiu said this, and his tone suddenly became more cold, "After all, this is on the ground of the Central Empire, can it still be rampant in the small day?" ”

After that, Xu Shijiu took the steel helmet from the black blind man and buckled it heavily on his head, and then took a flower mechanism from Gao Shenxing's hand, and then rushed out of the ring barricade of the Jiangfang Regiment with the flower mechanism on his shoulder, looking at Xu Shijiu's resolute back, the fifty veterans all looked sad, and the commanders were all in the lead, what else could they do?
