I don't know what Ouyang Yun thinks. At least, the Xuebing Army and the Sichuan Army General Zuo didn't figure it out. After all, there are more places to defend in Nanjing, and it is definitely not possible to always rely on the student army, and mixing some Sichuan troops that seem to be relatively weak in combat effectiveness can play a role in balancing all directions. However, why did you have to send half of each part of the troops when arranging the defensive sequence? Isn't this detrimental to command?

It was precisely because of Ouyang Yun's obvious overstepping order (the front-line combat sequence and even the specific tactical arrangements did not need to be worried about by him, the supreme theater commander), that the Xue 7th Brigade in Guanghuamen and the 151st Regiment and 155th Regiment of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army each contributed half of their strength in each battle sequence, and the extra regiment of the 7th Brigade served as a reserve.

The first thing a unit in the country that is of any other department in the country is to envy the equipment of other people.

Also, even if the so-called Central Army is listed as a separate regiment or even a battalion, the weapons and equipment of ordinary soldiers are not completely consistent. And like the Cadet Army, the entire brigade is equipped with the same series of guns, which is simply unimaginable. Specialized fancy looking combat uniforms, steel helmets, gas masks, fire support weapons for squad platoons, first aid kits...... Although the camouflage uniform does not give people the feeling that it is as pleasing to the eye as the military uniform of the Central Army, even the generals wear it like this. However, once a discerning person sees the green of the mountains, he will immediately appreciate the benefits of this garment. Not to mention the snipers who still have strips of cloth on their bodies, of course.

The sniper is a new thing at this time, and the things derived from it are naturally not understandable to ordinary people.

On the other hand, what about the Sichuan army? Soldiers and even some officers wear straw sandals, and the military uniforms are also the worst gray cloth uniforms, as for other equipment, the helmets are still made from the military warehouse of the Central Army after Ouyang Yun took over, and there are basically no military bottles, even the guns are all kinds of things.

When the two armies first met, the officers and men of the Sichuan Army were certainly ashamed of themselves, and the officers and men of the Cadet Army also felt incredible. The student army is used to being rich, and when they were in Renqiu at that time, even the security forces were fully equipped with general equipment, and now when they see such a force that is no different from a beggar, it is no wonder that they will think about it.

When two troops, which are very different in appearance, come together, it is inevitable that there will be a mustard. The good thing is that Ouyang Yun, a traverser, had heard of the names of the 26th Division and the 145th Division in that time and space, and for the two division commanders, he even had the feeling of a high mountain standing up, so to the surprise of Li Hansoul, Shan Renxiong and others, this little commander who "has no one in his eyes" performed too well this time, and when he shook hands with Rao Guohua and Liu Yuqing, the enthusiasm was like seeing relatives.

Li Hansoul didn't particularly know Ouyang Yun's temperament, but the old men of the Scholar Army such as Shan Renxiong knew it very well. When Shan Renxiong and He Zhengchuan were discussing in private, the former said: "There is an article, it seems that the two divisions of the Sichuan Army are not general!" ”

He Zhengzhen looked at the Sichuan army in tatters and clothes, and he couldn't see anything "general" about them, but he had always believed in the little commander's unique vision, so he said: "It's not that the commander has taken a fancy to these two divisions and wants to swallow them, right?" ”

Not to mention how to view the Sichuan Army when the middle and low-level troops of the Xuebing Army closed the door. Rao Guohua and Liu Yuqing first saw the military at such a peak of the army, and their first feeling was: No wonder they can be hard regrets with the little devils, they have the capital. Looking at the military appearance of the Xuebing Army, and then looking at his subordinates in turn, the expressions on the faces of the two division commanders are wonderful-not to know the way, one is more frightened-take the 26th Division as an example, it is also considered an elite in the Sichuan Army. Although there was not a single cannon in the division, each regiment still had a mortar company, and each battalion still had a heavy machine gun company. Such a firepower configuration is already the top in the Sichuan army, but compared with other people's student soldiers - hey, it seems that other people's mortars are equipped with company-level units, machine guns, and there are two in each squad - is it really more popular than people?

Ouyang Yun is a good person, as soon as the two sides met, he guessed what they were thinking from the wonderful expressions on the faces of the two Sichuan army commanders. The difference in the equipment of the Sichuan army is ranked best in the country, of course, if you count it backwards. The chairman of the committee must not have any friendly intentions when he threw these two divisions to himself, but he Ouyang Yun is a fool and has a fool's luck - how can the real combat strength of these two divisions be reflected from the equipment alone?

The reason why Ouyang Yun overstepped his authority to arrange the specific tactics of the front-line combat units was precisely based on the consideration of the asymmetrical combat strength of the Sichuan army. His idea is very simple, that is, to use the blood of the Sichuan army to inspire the officers and soldiers of the Cadet Army, so that they can know what the real tiger and wolf division is. What if the equipment is not as good as yours? People dare to work hard! If you don't want to be compared to others, then show it!

The two regiments of the 26th Division defending Guanghuamen were not subordinate to the same brigade, so in order to facilitate the command, Liu Yuqing put Zhu Zaiting, commander of the 76th Brigade, in charge. In order not to be compared to the Cadet Army, Zhu Zaiting first took out the company that was the strongest combat effectiveness under the 51st Regiment under his command, the third company known as the "Hammer Company".

The reason why the defenders did not treat the walls as ready-made fortifications, but built their own fortifications with woven bags on the flat ground in the walls, was that they could not dig and build artillery bunkers on the walls. This was already reflected in the previous artillery bombardment by the Japanese army. However, there are no absolute pros and cons, and now, once the Japanese army occupies the city wall, the defenders are instead passive.

The brigade commander of the Seventh Brigade is an authentic student soldier, a student from Beiping named Xie Changan. He and Zhu Zaiting saw the situation on the battlefield in the temporary command headquarters, and smiled at the latter: "Brigade Commander Zhu, what we were most worried about has finally happened. ”

"On the death squad?"

"A must! Knocking down the little devils in one fell swoop can just boost the morale of our army. Brigade Commander Zhu, let's see whether the student army is powerful or the Sichuan army is powerful! ”

Zhu Zaiting smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean." Gao Ming, let the brothers get on! This battle must be based on hand-to-hand combat, which is just the right time to give full play to our strengths and tell the brothers, don't embarrass the Sichuan people and Chairman Liu! ”

Gao Ming was one of his lieutenants, and he shouted yes and ran away.

Xie Changan picked up the phone, asked for the death squad in front, and said to Wang Jiuzhi, the captain of the Seventh Brigade death squad: "For a long time, beat the little devils on the city wall!" Tell the brothers, give me the big knife wheel, this battle, just let the little devil taste the power of our big knife again! ”

Because the Sichuan army was poor and limited by technology, it relied more on people to deliver orders on the battlefield. On the other hand, as long as the battlefield conditions permit, the student army is basically a telephone and walkie-talkie. Xie Changan is used to not feeling anything, Zhu Zaiting has a lot of feelings, and secretly thought: But in terms of efficiency, telephone dispatching and command are too fast, which is undoubtedly more conducive to grasping the fleeting fighter. From this point of view alone, the command concept of the student army is more advanced than ours! If you have the opportunity to return to Sichuan, you must talk to the chairman and see if you can get a few sets of walkie-talkies......

The establishment of a death squad was suggested by Zhu Zaiting, and his original consideration was to use it to deal with the Japanese tanks. And after seeing the tank unit of the Cadet Army, he knew that his worries were unnecessary. Although the Sichuan army does not have a tank force, this does not prevent the relevant correct judgment from being made. From the appearance alone, he could see that the Japanese tanks were no match for the tanks of the Cadet Army. The most intuitive point is that the Cadet Army tank is much larger than the little devil, and the barrel is much thicker.

Originally, the Japanese army occupied the city wall, and it was not necessary to send out death squads. They made this decision at the same time, but they wanted to use it to boost the morale of the troops. Although there is a huge age difference between the two people, there is not much difference in their analysis of the battle situation. As early as in the previous exchanges, they had a common understanding - the defense of Nanjing, which may be fought for a long time - although the retreat of the Chinese army has been carried out for a long time, but because there are too many of them, it will take a considerable amount of time to really completely evacuate. And from Ouyang Yun's words, they learned that this little chief still intends to withdraw all the citizens of Nanjing, and they have no time to count the time they must hold on to this battle.

The Japanese army on the periphery of Nanjing was as many as 200,000. The total number of defenders is less than 100,000 people, and among them, nearly half of them are fish belly troops. In other words, in the end, what can really be relied on is the 50,000 people in the two parts of the Xuebing Army and the Sichuan Army. With 50,000 against 200,000 or even 250,000 Japanese troops, even Ouyang Yun did not dare to give a specific time to hold on. In this way, in the early battle, how to minimize sacrifices and improve the morale of the troops as much as possible has become a very necessary lesson.

After the Japanese army occupied the city wall, except for some of them who began to run along the city wall on both sides, preparing to find a place to enter the city to form a breakthrough, a large part of them guarded the area of the gate tower and suppressed the defenders behind the Guanghua Gate.

Ouyang Yun just arrived here, and when he saw this scene, his brows immediately furrowed, and he said to Liu Kui: "You must drive the devil down as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" This Xie Changan is also right, why don't you arrange snipers on the tall building opposite? Well? Rush out of two teams of people, what? Do they want to fight up the walls from the stairs? You can't do it without a sniper! This Xie Chang'an is just that, Zhu Zaiting is a veteran, how can he make this mistake. Liu Kui, bring a battalion of fighters and go to the room to provide them with fire cover! ”

Liu Kui saw the arrangement of Xie Zhu and the others, and also felt that something was wrong, so he responded at this time, took care of his deputy commander to protect the safety of the commander, and then chose the third battalion with the best average marksmanship and ran towards the residential area next to it......
