Chapter 258: Resolved

This so-called field artillery brigade is actually not an artillery brigade formation. In this attack on Nanjing, a total of six divisions were dispatched, including the Central China Dispatch Army and the Shanghai Dispatch Army.

Among them, the 6th Division and the 114th Division are relatively close to each other, and the 18th Division is farther away. And these three divisions formed the 10th Army, that is, the Central China Dispatch Army.

Behind them, the Shanghai Dispatch Army, spearheaded by the Guoqi Detachment of the Fifth Division, was blocked by the Baoshan Regiment in Jiangpu. What's even more interesting is that thousands of people of the pioneer Shigetsu detachment in front were defeated by the Baoshan regiment, and the detachment leader, Major General Shigeto Chiaki, was captured by Yue Weihan.

Coming all the way from Yangzhou, the Baoshan regiment dragged this army for half a month, and a brigade of five or six thousand people was annihilated by him. In this way, the defense of Nanjing lasted more than a month longer than in history, so that there was enough time to dismiss the people in Nanjing.

Even so, the Central China Dispatch Army was also anxious, and Commander Yanagawa Heisuke ordered that the three artillery wings under the jurisdiction of the three divisions be gathered together to form a field artillery brigade. An artillery wing had thirty-six 75mm mountain guns and twelve 120mm howitzers, as well as a squadron of machine guns. Three artillery wings are formed together, and this is a terrible force!

At present, this improvised artillery brigade without a number is hidden in the Purple Mountain. With the topography of the Purple Mountain, it is just able to cover the entire city of Nanjing. After all, the firing range of the 75mm mountain gun is only a little more than eight kilometers. If it is far away, this cannon will be useless.

In fact, the greater firepower is still in the Shanghai dispatch army behind, but it was blocked by the Baoshan regiment, and I don't know how many railway bridges were destroyed along the way, plus the heavy snow and rain over the years, it was difficult for those cannons to move half a step at all. In addition, there are still several national army divisions around to harass, and the commander of the palace Hatohiko has also been much more irritable in the past few days. If not, what would a small Baoshan regiment use to block three divisions? Ten lives per person is not enough for a cannon-covered bombardment!

Just today, the Sixth Army entered the Zhonghua Gate. The 88th Division guarding the Zhonghua Gate was disabled, and then the 114th Division arrived, and the division commander Sun Yuan panicked in his conscience and led the remnants to escape. This phenomenon was not common at the time, but it was not uncommon. Then the 36th Division, led by the division commander Song Xilian, rushed to stop Sun Yuanliang, and blocked the Sixth Army and the 114th Division.

It's also getting late, and if it could have been two hours earlier, I'm afraid those two divisions would definitely not stop there. At the same time, the rest of the walled positions were still in the hands of the Chinese army. They also don't know how many more Chinese troops there are. If they break in at night and engage in street battles with Chinese troops in this strange city, they will definitely suffer heavy losses!

You only need to wait one night, and tomorrow, the temporary artillery brigade that gathers the three major artillery wings will bombard it again, and you can kill it without hindrance!

As the division commander of the 6th Division, Shiro Inaba was in a good mood.

Just twenty days ago, an order came from the base camp, so Gu Shoufu left. He's coming. At the same time, in twenty days, they will occupy Nanjing! Tomorrow, tomorrow. You can definitely break into the city of Nanjing!

Gu Shoufu fought for 28 days, but he was still blocked outside Nanjing. And he came, and in twenty days, his troops had already entered the city of Nanking once. One more day. His troops will be able to occupy the whole of Nanjing!

No matter how he thought about it, Shiro Inaba was very excited.

As for the 114th Division following behind, it was just a bunch of cheap waste!

Although he has only been in charge of the Sixth Division for twenty days. Shiro Inaba's vision is also much higher. Of course, his previous experience also made him look down on this newly added division that had not been many years old.

At the same time, sitting in his camp were two brigade commanders, Katsuji Imamura and Mitsuru Ushijima. At this moment, their faces are also full of excitement, and it seems that they may not be able to sleep tonight.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, I suggest that at five o'clock tomorrow morning, I ask Your Excellency the Commander to launch an artillery bombardment, and be sure to clear the Chinese army in Nanking again. It will only take an hour, and in an hour, our 6th Division will launch a charge, and it will surely occupy the capital of the Chinese people! Katsuji Imamura said with excitement on his face.

"That's right, Major General Imamura, tomorrow your brigade will be the vanguard, be sure to capture the Zhonghua Gate, ensure that our army can rush in as soon as possible, and can't let go of those generals of the Zhina Army. If we can take them, it will blow the confidence of the people of China again! Shiro Inaba said with a smile.

Ushijima said in a deep voice: "Those people are the best at running, I'm afraid they will cross the river and run away tonight." Also, Your Excellency the Division Commander, the 114th Division has sent a request, hoping to join us tomorrow. ”

"114th Division? Hmph, just let them stop the deserters of the Zhina army. Katsuji Imamura said coldly.

"I think you're probably getting a little too excited! I'm sorry, I'm going to take your head tonight! ”

A strange voice suddenly appeared in the tent, and before the three of them could react, a cold Japanese katana slit through the throats of the three people.

"What a sharp knife, why do I look so familiar?"

A look of doubt flashed in Inaba's eyes, but he found that he seemed to be flying. Well, it's just that the head flies.

"What a good knife!"

A middle-aged man suddenly appeared, reached out and touched the blood on the knife. This person is Tufei!

"Captain, the third son has already borrowed their telegraph to send a message to the 114th Division." A young man walked in from outside, wearing a Japanese military uniform, and dragging two little devils in his hands, presumably guards outside the tent.

"Well, after sending the telegram, all those communication equipment will be destroyed." Tufei whispered. After all, this is the barracks of the little devils.

The young man grinned, "It's all ruined!" ”

"Well, that's good. You go and call Liu Qingshan and Liu Yu again, I need their transformation skills. Tufei said in a deep voice.

"Understood! Hehe, as long as the fat brother gets it done, these two divisions will have to be explained here. The young man laughed.

"These are the executioners of the Nanjing Massacre, it's better to kill them cleanly!" Tufei took out a cigarette and lit it. He rarely smokes, and only smokes one to relieve himself when he is particularly stressed.

Now this scene has put him under a lot of pressure. Two divisions, more than 50,000 people, if they can succeed, it is enough to change local history! He has killed many people, but he never imagined that he would join forces with the fat man to do such a big game and kill so many people! Although he didn't feel any guilt about killing these little devils, the pressure at this moment was really too great!

If these two divisions can be left here, the 18th division will be half-crippled. Seventy or eighty thousand people, this can definitely change the course of the War of Resistance Against Japan!

Marching in the dark, not too fast. It doesn't matter if the fat man and his party are, that is, those **** artillerymen basically can't see the road clearly at night, for fear of being discovered, and they can't light torches, so they can only advance in the dark by the faint moonlight.

The leader was three people, one wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform, and the other two, one was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, white and pure like a rich man. The other was a woman, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a pair of eyes, the one who said earlier that she was going to break the limbs of the little devil.

"Both, at our current marching speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there in five hours! Also, your captain and those team members, what did they do? ”

The lieutenant colonel asked in a low voice, with strong anticipation and anxiety in his heart. He was worried, but he was also excited. All kinds of emotions fluctuated in his heart, making it difficult for him to remain silent. At the same time, after holding it for three hours, he really couldn't hold back and wanted to ask.

"It should be soon, it's past two in the morning. Well, the fat man's side should be successful too! The woman looked down at the watch in her hand, and although it was night, her vision was amazing, and she could see it clearly.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of me.

"It's settled, light the torches and speed up the march!" The dark shadow said.

This is a thin man, who looks about 1.6 meters tall, in his thirties, thin and thin, I'm afraid less than 90 pounds. But he was fast, like a ghost in the night, and startled the lieutenant colonel.

"Raise the torches and speed up the march! Pass the order down and don't make a loud noise. ”

The lieutenant colonel stabilized his mind and whispered orders to the back.

But after five or six minutes, a fire dragon suddenly appeared.

"Hehe, I've been a thief for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've been a hero. I didn't expect that killing little devils could be so enjoyable. The thin man chuckled under his breath.

"Brother Skinny Monkey, how many little devils have you killed?"

The boy asked with some excitement.

"Not much, not much, just a few hundred. Those guys are sleeping, and then I guess they don't know the pain and die, what a waste. It would be nice to hear them screaming, but unfortunately this mission doesn't allow it. The thin monkey whispered.

"Well, it would be nice if I could go up there this time. Brother Skinny Monkey, next time I have this opportunity, you have to let me come. The boy whispered.

"You kid, you just want to kill people like that?" Said the woman with glasses.

The boy gritted his teeth and said, "I heard my grandfather say that my grandmother was killed by this group of little devils. I didn't have a chance before, but now that I'm here, if I don't kill a few little devils, I won't have the face to see my grandfather when I go back in the future. ”

"Little one, I knew you were bloody! Otherwise, if you learn how to shoot with them, how can you kill three or five people with one shot, right? If they could smash into the tent, a dozen people would have to die. Skinny Monkey said.

Suddenly, the boy's eyes turned green, and this was indeed a good idea!

That lieutenant colonel is like listening to a book from heaven, one person, just three hours, well, this time has to be counted as a hurry, one person killed hundreds of people? Are all those little devils pigs? Standing for you to kill?

The little devils are not pigs, but most of them are asleep. And with the abilities of these people, what stealth techniques, transformation techniques, plus sword techniques, sword techniques, and dao techniques, etc., if you face the enemy head-on, there may be damage, and there will even be a danger of death. But killing people quietly at night is really too simple. At first, it took a lot of effort to solve the dark whistles and bright whistles, but the sleeping little devils in the back were much easier to solve. (To be continued.) )
