Chapter 129, the war is approaching Yuhuatai
"These are all trivials? No kidding, okay! This is simply a fairy method, okay. Zhu Chi looked at the relaxed expression on Zhao Xiaojun's face, and thought of it in his heart.
Zhu Chi has no intention of getting to the bottom of Zhao Xiaojun's magical means, after all, who doesn't have his own secrets, and now Zhu Chi is most concerned about these weapons and equipment, and he has begun to calculate how to use these weapons and equipment in his heart to maximize the role of these weapons and equipment.
It's just that Zhu Chi didn't know that Zhao Xiaojun's heart at this time was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
Zhao Xiaojun was not distressed about those resource points, but was thinking in his heart about how to answer the questions that Zhu Chi could raise, so seeing that Zhu Chi was only a little surprised at first, and did not continue to ask, Zhao Xiaojun was also relieved. (Note: It is very normal for Zhu Chi to have this reaction, because the weapons of the current Chinese army, except for a small part of which are self-produced, most of the others are purchased from Germany, France and other Western countries at high prices through smuggling, so they don't care much about the source of weapons and equipment, as long as there is no problem with weapons and equipment to be able to fight little devils, and Zhu Chi has been shocked by Zhao Xiaojun's sudden hand, he doesn't want to ask, he doesn't dare to ask, and he doesn't dare to bet.) )
"General Zhu Chi, what you said is a bit untrue! Now it seems that your weapons and equipment are still good? Even the German MG34 general-purpose machine gun is there? Zhao Xiaojun suddenly pointed to the weapon he had just exchanged from the system and said to Zhu Chi.
Listen to the strings and know the elegant meaning. When Zhu Chi first heard Zhao Xiaojun's words, he was a little stunned, but then he understood that Zhao Xiaojun wanted to press the origin of these weapons and equipment on Zhu Chi and the 262nd Brigade.
Although Zhu Chi is a little unaccustomed to being forcibly dumped, Zhu Chi hopes that such things can come more.
Of course, these flashed in Zhu Chi's mind, but his mouth followed Zhao Xiaojun's words and said: "Sir, it may be because these days, the pressure brought to me by the Japanese invaders is too great, resulting in some disordered memory, this is my fault, please understand." ”
Zhao Xiaojun saw that Zhu Chi was so upright, so he didn't say anything, but after Lin Chuyin and the three of them repaired the two German 88mm anti-aircraft guns, they left directly with the Poison Island Men and a few of them.
Zhu Chi looked at the back of Zhao Xiaojun and the others leaving, and after disappearing completely, he realized that he was already in a cold sweat behind his back, and thought in his heart: "I know that this Mr. Zhao Xiaojun is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect it to be unusual." But when Zhu Chi saw these weapons and equipment around him, the corners of Zhu Chi's mouth showed a heartfelt smile.
Just when Zhu Chi was sincerely happy because of the weapons that Zhao Xiaojun exchanged from the system, the 74th Army, which defended the areas of Chunhua Town, Fangshan, Niushou Mountain, and Jiangjun Mountain, was under the onslaught of 30,000 or 40,000 Japanese troops from the 1st Division of the 1st Division, the 114th Division, and the 13th Wing and 45th Wing of the 6th Division, the number one ace division of the Japanese army.
As early as December 3, Yu Jishi, commander of the 74th Army, had already received an order from Tang Shengzhi, commander of the Nanjing garrison, that two divisions of the 74th Army were responsible for guarding the peripheral positions of Nanjing, of which the 58th Division occupied Niushou Mountain and sent alert troops to Moling Pass and Hushu Town, while the 51st Division guarded the positions around Dunhua Town and Fangshan.
After receiving the order, Feng Shengfa, the commander of the 58th Division, hurriedly led his troops to Niushou Mountain to arrange a position, in any case, the 58th Division is a descendant of Yu Jishi's descendants, in this kind of battle of life and death, whether it is Tang Shengzhi or Yu Jishi will take care of it, compared with the prominent position, the first to bear the brunt of the Dunhua Town position, the position of Niushou Mountain is relatively backward, and it is closer to Nanjing City.
Feng Shengfa's 58th Division was busy repairing fortifications and doing defense, but Wang Yaowu's 51st Division, which was 18 kilometers away from Nanjing's Zhonghua Gate, was in a big trouble, because Qiu Weida's 306th Regiment and Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment successively served as the task of covering the retreat when retreating from the Songhu battlefield, so it was already very late when they retreated to the outskirts of Nanjing, and the troops were also exhausted from continuous fighting, so Wang Yaowu put Wu Keding's 301st Regiment and Cheng Zhi's 302nd Regiment on the front line when arranging the defensive line. put Zhang Lingfu's 305 regiment on the second line, Qiu Weida's 306 regiment as a reserve, especially the 301 regiment at the forefront, originally this arrangement took into account the situation of the four regiments of the 51st Division, which was a very fair decision, the commander of the 302nd regiment, Cheng Zhi, took the task to build a position without saying a word, but Wu Keding, the commander of the 301st regiment, retreated at this time, he originally had a great opinion on being cannon fodder to defend Nanjing at this time, but at this time the division commander let him play the striker, Didn't that push him into the fire pit, and he decided not to comply with the arrangement.
Wang Yaowu was furious when he heard the news, and immediately went to the 301 regiment station, the battle was about to start, but Wu Keding bargained with him at this time, it seems that he forgot the famous saying in the army that "soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty", in the face of Wu Keding, Wang Yaowu came to a "tearful and slashing horse", without taking into account the friendship for many years, he ordered to revoke Wu Keding's position as the head of the 301st regiment, and promoted the deputy regiment commander Ji Hongru to the acting regiment commander, and ordered the 301st regiment to immediately go to the position, and the violators of military law will be dealt with!
Ji Hongru is a native of Taihe, Anhui Province, born in 1899, to his age to be the acting head of the regiment is indeed a bit late, but he had the ability to remember when he was a child, known as a supernatural power, the township party Xu Zhi is a big weapon, before participating in the Battle of Songhu was still a battalion commander, because during the Battle of Songhu fought bravely and performed well, he was promoted to the deputy head of the 301st Regiment after the war, Wang Yaowu promoted him to the acting head of the regiment on the cusp of this storm and handed over the most important task to him, which shows Wang Yaowu's recognition of his ability and trust in his character, It turns out that Ji Hongru did not disappoint Wang Yaowu.
And the real national army is not as weak as the film and television dramas that Zhao Xiaojun watched in the real world, so in the 3-month Battle of Songhu, it was not only the Chinese army that suffered heavy losses, but also a disastrous victory for the Japanese, and the 9 and a half divisions and regiments involved in the war suffered casualties of varying degrees.
Among them, the largest casualty was Ito Masaki's 101st Division, with about 9,500 casualties, which was close to half of the division's total strength of 24,000 people, and Yoshizumi Ryosuke's 9th Division's casualties were second only to the 101st Division, reaching more than 6,000 people, but at this moment, this group of war machines driven by militarist ideology has completely lost their minds, "Attack and attack, plant the military flag of the Great Japanese Empire in the city of Nanjing!" In this way, Yoshizumi Ryosuke led his 9th Division as the vanguard all the way to Nanjing, and the Kuomintang troops they encountered along the way were immediately defeated, and they thought that they could easily reach the city of Nanjing, but to their surprise, they were stubbornly resisted in Dunhua Town, which was 18 kilometers away from the city of Nanjing.
On the 4th, the 36th Wing of the 18th Brigade of the 18th Division, the vanguard of the 9th Division, came into contact with the alert troops of the 51st Division of the 74th Army, and the next day, the 36th Wing launched a formal attack under the leadership of Wing Commander Jiro Wakisaka, to be honest, the tactics they used were not very high in the whole world at that time, and the tactics of the little Japanese devils can be summarized as: infantry rush, artillery bombardment, infantry rush after artillery bombardment, artillery bombardment after infantry rush, infantry retreat, artillery bombardment, artillery bombardment after infantry rush, but in the 8 years of the Anti-Japanese War, In the face of the more backward Chinese army, it has repeatedly worked, of course, Wakisaka Jiro also used this kind of "rigid and unchanged" tactics, he first used 10 heavy artillery, several planes to the 51st Division's position bombardment indiscriminately, and then more than 2,000 Japanese troops launched a fierce attack on the position of the 51st Division under the cover of tanks, originally thought that the national army in front of him would be immediately defeated as before, but what he didn't expect was that his opponent was Ji Hongru, who had just been promoted to the acting head of the 301st Regiment and was holding back his strength.
As the saying goes, "changing generals is like changing knives", how a unit's combat effectiveness has a lot to do with his "number one" generals, the 301st regiment, which was originally a group of lambs under the leadership of Wu Keding, immediately became a group of howling wolves under the leadership of Ji Hongru, a lion, they used rifles, machine guns, mortars, grenades and bayonets These rudimentary infantry weapons and the Japanese army with aircraft, heavy artillery, and tanks launched a tenacious fight, seeing that Wakisaka Jiro could not break through the position, the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke pressed the entire division up, At the critical moment, this arrogant guy even put down the shelf and asked his senior Gu Shoufu, the commander of the 6th Division, for help, facing the attack of 40,000 people in 2 divisions of the Japanese army, Ji Hongru cooperated with Cheng Zhi of the 302nd Regiment with the determination to die, and the soldiers of the two regiments were red-eyed, and for 3 days and 3 nights, Dunhua Town was like a nail on the way to Nanjing City for the two divisions!
When the battle was at its most intense, Ji Hongru, the acting commander of the 301st Regiment, also led the guard platoon guarding the regiment headquarters and killed it. (Note: Originally, the guard force of the regiment-level troops should have been at the company level, but after all, the 301st Regiment was a unit withdrawn from the Battle of Songhu, and it was originally supposed to be a guard company of more than 100 people, and there were only more than 60 people left, so Ji Hongru directly organized the remaining 60 or so people into a reinforced platoon to facilitate command.) )
"Dada." The guard platoon under the leadership of Ji Hongru used an MP18 submachine gun (commonly known as the flower machine. The automatic firepower caught the little devils who used the Type 38 rifles by surprise, and suppressed the offensive momentum of those little devils for a while.
But Ji Hongru was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so after the Japanese devils reacted, they concentrated their firepower, and for a while the grenadiers and crooked machine guns poured into the guard platoon led by Ji Hongru, and Ji Hongru, who took the lead in the charge, bore the brunt and was hit by shells and bullets.
Seeing that their regiment commander was hit by the vital point, his subordinates were desperate, it can be seen that they have been conquered by the performance of Ji Hongru, the acting regiment leader, so Ji Hongru was snatched back by them in the sacrifice of these soldiers, and Ji Hongru, who was covered in blood, only had a slightly floating chest to prove that he still had a breath.
In the headquarters of the 301st Regiment, after hearing the news of Ji Hongru's injury, all the battalion and company commanders who were still alive gathered in the headquarters to discuss what to do next.
"More than half of the troops died, and the regiment commander was seriously injured, let's discuss what to do next?" The chief of staff of the 301st Regiment had to speak first when everyone was silent.
"Chief of Staff, why don't we retreat and leave some seeds for the 301st Regiment!" After hearing the words of the chief of staff, Xu Bin, who was the commander of the guard company, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.
"You can't retreat, Chief of Staff, you should know, you can't retreat!" Hearing the words of retreat, Ji Hongru, who was unconscious, suddenly spoke. After saying that, he passed out again.
"Chief of Staff, what the hell is going on?" After hearing Ji Hongru's words, everyone in the command looked at the chief of staff with puzzled eyes.
"Yes, that's it, everyone knows the rumors circulating in Nanjing, but in fact, it's not a rumor, through the news in the army, it's true." Under everyone's eyes, the chief of staff finally had to say what he had been pressing in his heart.
After hearing the words of the chief of staff, everyone present erupted.
"Little devil, I'm a **** ancestor."
"Lao Tzu, I'm fighting with you."
……
The last battalion commander spoke: "Chief of Staff, everyone is a man with a leader, no one will retreat at this time, if you retreat at this time, what face will you have to see your ancestors in the future." But Xu Bin, Head Ji will hand it over to you. ”
After hearing the words of the first battalion commander, although Xu Bin also wanted to be generous with his brothers, but for the sake of this regiment commander, who was loved by the brothers of the whole regiment, he had no choice but to say goodbye to these brothers of life and death with tears.
The 301st Regiment died except for the remaining 36 people in the guard platoon and Ji Hongru, who was unconscious.
Wang Yaowu looked at Ji Hongru who was carried back, Wang Yaowu knew that he couldn't ask anything more for Ji Hongru and his 301st Regiment, 100,000 Japanese troops besieged the periphery of Nanjing, and many friendly positions had been broken, and if they continued to defend it, they would be surrounded, and in desperation, Wang Yaowu ordered the front to retreat, of course, only more than 200 people from the 302nd Regiment were withdrawn. At the same time, Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment on the second front was ordered to launch a counterattack to cover the transfer of the whole division.
At this time, Zhang Lingfu was not the commander of the world-famous 74th Division, but he was also a fierce general in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In the two months since Zhang Lingfu led the 305th Regiment to officially enter the war in October, every time he was given this kind of "dirty work" to cover the retreat, but the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, and after receiving the order, Zhang Lingfu led the 305th Regiment to rush south against the main force of the 51st Division that retreated north. Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who had just broken through the defense line of Dunhua Town, finally sent away a Ji Hongru, thinking that he could chase after the back of the 51st Division's butt like a duck and chase and beat him, but he didn't expect to encounter another hard nail Zhang Lingfu, one was to chase with the courage of the new victory, and the other was to resist with a tenacious will, and the two troops who met on a narrow road began to launch a white-knuckle battle with bayonets, and the so-called wise command was completely meaningless to fight to this point, and Zhang Lingfu, who was the commander of the regiment, also picked up his weapon and rushed to the enemy. The officers and men of the 305th Regiment saw that even the regiment commander was so brave and deeply inspired, and they jumped out of the trenches one after another, braving the enemy's artillery fire and fighting desperately with the enemy, for a time the position was full of flesh and blood, shouts of killing and artillery fire were intertwined, and the fierce battle was a day, and the 305th Regiment blocked the enemy outside the gate of the southeastern suburbs of Nanjing at the cost of more than 600 casualties.
During the killing, Zhang Lingfu was shot in the left arm and was seriously injured, and his subordinates urged him to retreat to the rear of the Yangtze River to recuperate, but Zhang Lingfu said angrily, "In the past, Xiang Yu was defeated and still didn't want to cross the Wujiang River, how could I cross the Yangtze River because of my injuries?" Fight the enemy to the death to fulfill your oath! Wang Yaowu, who learned that Zhang Lingfu was wounded, was taken aback, and urgently ordered the 305th Regiment to retreat to the city, and ordered Zhang Lingfu to cross the river for medical treatment.
