Chapter Twenty-Seven: The End

The city of Nanjing was crowded at nightfall, and there were some light and serious wounded who followed the transfer of Nanjing citizens, so Lin Xi's actions at night should be as mobile as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Xi allocated all the cars and horses to the garrison, which was barely enough equipment. Each vehicle was equipped with dozens of soldiers, light and heavy machine guns on both sides, and some grenadiers, except that they were not armoured, they were simply alive armored vehicles. +

It was already ten midnight, all the ships had already set sail, even the cannons that could not be taken away from the Lion Rock Fort had been blown up, the 87th Division of the Purple Mountain Defense Line and the troops of the other defense lines had begun to move closer to the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, and the main direction of attack for the breakthrough was to go west along the Zhonghua Gate and face the Japanese 16th Division.

According to Lin Xi's plan, the well-trained garrison would play the role of a mechanized division, led by Lin Xi himself. The remaining troops were all incorporated into the 88th and 87th Divisions, the artillery transferred from the Lion Rock Fort and all the artillery of the whole army formed an artillery regiment, and the 88th and 87th Divisions were all handed over to Song Xilian to lead.

Lin Xi will lead the garrison to set off from the Zhonghua Gate, advance quickly, tear a hole in the Japanese defense line, and the 88th and 87th divisions behind quickly break through, and outflank the two flanks, cut off the Japanese 16th Division and form two large encirclements, and try to solve the battle before dawn. After dawn, regardless of whether the annihilation is completed or not, it is necessary to retreat in the direction of Wuhu.

That's right, this is the Chinese version of Blitzkrieg. Except for the absence of tanks and planes, everything else is exactly the same. Who called Lin Xi once worked for the "Third Reich"? The battles with the Japanese army in the past few days have greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of Lin Xi's subordinates, including nearly 100,000 recruits. According to the military system in China at that time, the 88th Division and the 87th Division were at least the establishment of one army. Lin Xi's garrison alone was comparable to the number of a horse-pulling division of the Japanese army. If it weren't for this, Lin Xi wouldn't dare to fight like this. Another reason is that the Japanese army has obviously been insufficient in defense and more than enough to attack in the past few days, and they can't imagine that Lin Xi will take the initiative to sneak attack, and now the blitzkrieg is still unknown, and the Japanese army can't think of how to crack him for the time being.

Outside the Zhonghua Gate, all the current military forces in Nanjing are concentrated, and Lin Xi said to Song Xilian before boarding a jeep: "Song Xilian, the key to this operation depends on whether your two divisions can follow up quickly, if the battle is not over at dawn, you must break through quickly." After all, breaking out is our main combat goal, remember not to fall in love with the war! ”

"Yes! Commander, please be careful here...."Song Xilian saluted Lin Xi and said. Lin Xi's ruins and excellent command in the past few days have deeply infected Song Xilian, and now he is not just obeying him because of the size of his official rank, but he sincerely admires it, especially when this battle plan comes out.

"Okay, then I'll go!" After Lin Xi finished speaking, he ordered the convoy of the garrison to set off.

The long train turned off its lights and drove into the distance, in order not to startle the snakes, Lin Xi only took the garrison of cars and motorcycles and drove towards the Japanese army.

The sudden appearance of the garrison took the Japanese army by surprise, especially at midnight, when they were most sleepy and tired. Lin Xi directly asked the garrison to charge, and most of the Japanese soldiers were killed while they were still sleeping, and when they broke through the defense line, the soldiers on the car immediately got out of the car to expand the results, and gradually spread to both sides using the three-three tactics that Lin Xi had taught them before. The next thing is to shoot out all the shells of the large-caliber guns of the artillery regiment, you must know that all the shells in the Nanjing arsenal have been removed by Lin Xi, this shelling lasted for half an hour, and when the soldiers of the garrison attacked, they were basically the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

In this surprise attack, the 30th Infantry Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 16th Division and the cavalry wing directly under the 16th Division were directly disabled in their sleep. Next, the 88th and 87th Divisions, which were following the garrison, outflanked the flanks of the 16th Division, while the garrison continued to assault forward.

Within the joint headquarters of the 16th and 9th Divisions.

"What happened?" Nakajima asked Chief of Staff Mio Nakazawa.

"The front line has reported that the Chinese army has launched a surprise attack on the position of our 30th brigade, and the brigade commander Sasaki has already broken jade! Now the Chinese army is advancing rapidly towards us! Chief of Staff Mitsuo Nakazawa reported to Nakajima in a panic.

"Nakajima-kun, do you need my ninth division to assist in the attack!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the 9th Division, said to Nakajima Imago that Yoshizumi Ryosuke would not think that the defenders of Nanjing would be able to fight here, and that since the Battle of Songhu, their strength of the Chinese army has changed from despised to undiminished.

"No, I'll solve this little thing, order ......" Nakajima felt that he was very faceless after being raided by the Shina army, and wanted to get back to the field by himself, but his order had not yet been given, and the sound of mortar bombs appearing around the headquarters.

"Not good! Enemy attack ....." Mitsuo Nakazawa sensed the shelling and immediately shouted alert, and before he could make a move, several shells blew up the command post.....

After Lin Xi broke through the defense line of the 16th Division, he did not stop, but directly attacked forward, and happened to defeat this headquarters......

The intensive fighting at night stunned the Japanese side, especially the headquarters of the two divisions were knocked out, which directly left the Japanese army leaderless and chaotic. It just gave Lin Xi a chance to take advantage of. The battle ended before dawn, and not only the 16th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, but also the 9th Division was severely damaged. Since then, there has been no fighting on the western front of Nanjing, and Lin Xi commanded the army to retreat calmly, leaving an empty city for the Japanese army.......

.............

Lin Xi returned to the virtual training room in the blink of an eye.

"Oh! Lan Ling, what are you doing! Why is there such a difficult level all of a sudden? "Lin Xi had a headache when he came back, and it seemed that he couldn't use the virtual training room for a long time when his physical fitness was low.

"Young Master, haven't you already completed your task? So what's the point! Lan Ling was still unceremonious.

"Will my training still be like this in the future?" Lin Xi slowly felt a little relieved.

"Right? Young master, the current training is just an appetizer, and the training of the interstellar war in the future is the main dish! Lan Ling said with a grin.

"Okay, show me my results first!" Lin Xi has completed the feat in history, and he is still a little proud.

"Oh, I'll read it to the young master: the casualties of the Nanjing soldiers and civilians in this battle are nearly 150,000, and the casualties caused to the Japanese army are just over 50,000, young master, you still have some dishes!" Lan Ling sighed a little.

"......" Lin Xi was speechless for a while, in fact, what he said was right, if Lin Xi took into account the air raid of the Japanese aircraft, the Japanese army would not have blown up Lin Xi's ship in the first place, resulting in a very slow retreat later.....

Under the morning sun, the sea surface is full of brilliance and looks extremely sacred, but it is a pity that Lin Xi's submarine cannot be seen on the bottom of the sea.

Lin Xi's ship was getting closer and closer to the South China Sea base, but Lin Xi always had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, and it felt very strange........
