Chapter 25: The Beginning of War

The speed of defeat of the 74th Army and the 83rd Army was too fast, and Lin Xi's plan to block and attack was not realized, but a large-scale rout was formed, but the rout was good, but it had begun to impact the position outside Nanjing, if it wasn't for their impact on the position, Lin Xi didn't know that the Tangshan generation had been lost. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, there are still some bloody Chinese soldiers who have been fighting until the last moment. The Japanese artillery fire had advanced to the city of Nanjing, and it was very clear to hear it even in the city.

Now that the best rescue time has been missed, and it is just a waste of troops to go to the rescue, Lin Xi can only hope that the battle outside Nanjing can last until the people in the city complete the transfer.

Suddenly, there was the sound of an airplane overhead, followed by the sound of a bomb exploding.

"What's going on?" Lin Xi said to a staff officer.

"Commander, the little devil's plane has begun to bomb the city of Nanjing!" The staff officer said.

"Report! Chief Song is here to report! A correspondent walked up to Lin Xi and reported.

"Chief Song's report: When our unit was escorting the transfer of the people, it was suddenly attacked by the Japanese army, and suffered heavy losses, and the boats used to cross the river were completely lost. Above. The correspondent read the telegram and continued his work.

Lin Xi looked flustered after hearing this, and couldn't help but be stunned: It's over, it's over, the front is not effective in blocking the enemy, and the ship will be destroyed today, what should I do! What to do? There are still nearly 500,000 compatriots in the city, can I be said to be inferior to those people in history? No.... No! Lin Xi's heart collapsed at this moment, he might not be able to stop the crazy attack of the Japanese army at all, and 300,000 compatriots would be slaughtered, and according to the current situation, there may be more than 300,000.......

No, I can't go on like this, if I don't work hard, what hope is there in Nanjing, there must be a way, Lan Ling won't give me an unsolvable battle situation, where is the breakthrough........

Lin Xi soon entered into contemplation, and even the command of the operation was handed over to Tang Shengzhi in history.

Sure enough, in the evening the Japanese began to storm the outlying positions in Nanjing.

"Little devils! I X your ancestors. “

"Enough X, come on!" On the battlefield, there was constantly the shouts of Chinese soldiers, and the fire of heavy machine guns was constantly pouring down, which was in sharp contrast to the performance of the 74th Army and the 83rd Army just now. The soldiers who had just retreated were all ashamed and consciously joined the battle on the outskirts of Nanjing, which really alleviated the disadvantage of some insufficient troops.

.......

The battle on the periphery of Nanjing broke out miserably, the 88th Division and the 87th Division were worthy of being the most elite troops in China at that time, the soldiers were full of blood, the Japanese army chased the remnants of the 74th Army and the 83rd Army, and they thought that they could capture the city of Nanjing, but they did not expect that the first round of charge was defeated.

The joint headquarters of the 9th and 16th Divisions of the Japanese Army outside Nanjing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the Japanese Empire's attack on Nanjing must be successful, only in this way can we deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the people of China and make due contributions to the occupation of the entire China by the Locust Army of the Great Japanese Empire." Ryosuke Yoshizumi, commander of the 9th Division, said.

"Haha, Yoshizumi-kun is right, tonight we will sweep away the remnants of the enemy around Nanjing, and tomorrow morning we will take Nanjing City in one go, so that those people will know the strength of our Great Japanese Locust Army, I heard that Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya has acquiesced to our capture of Nanjing........ Ahaha! The commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Imasago said.

"Nakajima-kun, yours is a big bad couple, haha!" Ryosuke Yoshizumi smiled wickedly.

"Ahahahaha....." There was a burst of laughter from the command.

...........

The city of Nanjing tonight was exceptionally quiet, except for the Japanese army attacking once at night, there was no sign of another attack, and it was obvious that a new round of conspiracy was being prepared.

At this time, the Nanjing headquarters was brightly lit, Lin Xi killed the two army commanders who fled and delayed the military situation in the afternoon, and all their remaining troops were incorporated into death squads, and they would be the first troops to exchange fire when the next round of Japanese attacks were held, and once there were escapes, they would be strafed by machine guns in the rear position, Lin Xi promised them that as long as they held their positions for two days, Lin Xi would let them go.

"Song Xilian, how are the recruits training?" Lin Xi asked Song Xilian, after thinking for a long time, an immature plan had already appeared in Lin Xi's mind.

"Because of the urgency of the war, 50,000 recruits have been recruited, and I have been training since last night, and I sleep no more than six hours a day for two days, and I feel distressed when I look at it." Song Xilian said with a look of regret.

"Alas! They could have had a better future, but if the country was weak and the people suffered, how long would they be able to go to war. Lin Xi also sighed for a while, after all, nearly 30,000 people in a garrison are training recruits, and basically one veteran brings five recruits.

"At this rate, you can master the essentials of shooting guns in two or three days, but the progress of the queue and some military ethics is still very slow." Song Xilian said.

"Forget all those drills for me, as long as they can shoot guns and queue up, let them practice on the battlefield for the rest, we don't have that much time." Lin Xi said.

"Okay!" Song Xilian saluted and prepared to leave.

"Oh! Wait a minute, you go to the whole city to collect cars and motorcycles and the corresponding fuel, and those who can drive also go and collect them; In addition, tomorrow you draw fifty veterans, and I will call them some new tactics, and you are asking them to teach the recruits. Lin Xi suddenly stopped Song Xilian.

Lin Xi looked at the sky again, and before he knew it, he had come over to zero o'clock, thought about it and said to the staff officer on duty: "It's good to leave a few on duty, the devils are estimated to not attack tonight, and the others will find a place to rest on the spot, if they don't have energy tomorrow, they can't do it....." Lin Xi didn't want them to drop the chain when they were fighting, but he didn't want to put them back to rest and have a sudden emergency, so he could only let them be in the command headquarters.

"You are going to inform the front-line positions, each regiment will leave a company on guard, and the rest will rest on the spot, but there is one rule, it is absolutely not allowed to leave the position for half a step, and you can only continue to fight if you have enough spirit." Lin Xi knew that this battle would be a protracted battle, and only by cultivating a good spirit could he maintain his combat effectiveness for a long time.

It seems that the night duty system will be improved in the future, and the anti-night attack must also be prepared, Lin Xi thought.

........

There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn the Japanese army had already set up a position in front of the position outside Nanjing, and the Japanese army in Yuhuatai was the main force of the 16th Division of the Japanese army.

Nearly 20,000 people attacked the position of the 88th Division with nearly 30,000 people from other units after the reorganization, who would have died?

...........

Ahem, ask for a recommendation again
