Chapter 94: The Jedi Strikes Back (3)

Xue Ru was noncommittal about Song Xilian's reaction, these generals of the national army are just not confident, and the devils are not three-headed and six-armed, are they so terrible? If it weren't for air supremacy, Xue Ru would be even bolder.

In later generations, Xue Ru has always been unconvinced, modern warfare is about super-visual warfare and long-range strikes, so a large number of people does not necessarily win. But at this time, it is all the same equipment, and the number of people is the decisive factor.

On the Korean battlefield, in the face of the superior weapons of the United Nations Army, the Volunteers defeated them like this. Although it was a draw in the end, it pushed them back to the 38th parallel on the banks of the Yalu River. Mountains, rivers, and terrain can be used, and combat still pays attention to tactical use.

What's more, the Japanese army at this time could not be compared with the United Nations army at all. At this time, the national army's conventional equipment with light weapons is not necessarily worse than that of devils, so why is there no possibility of victory? At this time, his troops are indeed not as many as devils, but after all, they are fighting at home.

He said calmly: "Don't worry, it's nothing, if there are enough troops, I will hold Nanjing, it's a pity." ”

Seeing that Xue Ru didn't care at all, Xiao Shanling was no longer worried. Wu Yuzhao really issued it to all troops according to Xue Ru's order. Song Xilian felt a little blushing, he was a dignified military commander, and he was not as calm as a little girl. He also said: "Why don't there be troops, if you know this, can't you just let those troops leave?" ”

Xue Ru shook his head: "Even if Nanjing is held, it is useless, the Japanese army has already occupied Dangtu, Wuhu and Zhenjiang, and will soon occupy Pukou and Hangzhou, Nanjing has become a dead land, we have no food and grass in it, and there is no rescue army outside, even if we hold here, what's the use?" In the decisive battle in Nanjing, we are not yet opponents. ”

Song Xilian can be a military commander, it is definitely not a straw bag, and he also knows what Xue Ru said. Puzzled, he asked, "In that case, why don't you retreat and hold on?" ”

Xue Ru felt that it was necessary to let more generals know that China was temporarily inferior to Japan, not forever inferior to them, and the main thing was to build self-confidence and not be afraid of the Japanese army.

According to his own recollection of the Anti-Japanese War, and then according to his own time to understand, why the generals of the national army were able to fight to the death when they were in Shanghai, and they also sacrificed many senior generals in Nanjing, but after the loss of Nanjing, many generals in the follow-up operations retreated without a fight, gave up their positions and fled, mainly because they were afraid of being beaten, and they were afraid of defeat, and they were not as firm as they were at the beginning of the War of Resistance.

The simplest point is that in 1944, there were still generals of the national army who surrendered to the Japanese army, are they stupid? I just can't see hope, and I still think that the devil can win. was only a year away, but he was accused of being a traitor. Seven years, seven years of resistance have survived.

said very confidently: "If you can't hold Nanjing, you can't necessarily destroy the devils, this is the best battlefield of annihilation, and you have to pay the price if you want to occupy the capital." How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? If you don't leave tens of thousands of corpses here, don't want to occupy Nanjing. ”

"Tens of thousands?" Song Xilian looked at Xue Ru in surprise. At this time, Xiao Shanling also came over: "Captain Xue, I think that if you are sure of this, you should ask the Military Commission to increase the number of troops and keep Nanjing." ”

Xue Ru didn't know what to do, she knew the historical process, and was worried that once the Japanese army attacking Nanjing was wiped out too much, the Japanese army would continue to increase its troops like in Shanghai, until it was occupied, and Nanjing would become a second Shanghai. China needs time to consolidate its national strength, not at this time.

The Japanese troops who entered China were far from this, and the number of troops that the Japanese army put into the Chinese battlefield during the Anti-Japanese War was more than one million. If it weren't for the Pacific War, China wouldn't know how long it would have been. Later generations also believed that China had the possibility of failure.

But Xue Ru doesn't think so, even if the United States does not enter the war, it will only be a few more years of fighting. But it can't be said that what others say is unreasonable.

In the past four or five years, it had been 14 years since Japan occupied Northeast China. It was a place larger than the territory of Japan, rich in resources, and became a base to support the war of aggression against China. If there is another ten or eight years, it is difficult to say the consequences.

As soon as he mentioned this, Xue Ru was resentful of the big smoker who didn't let go of a single shot, and then the remnants of the Manchu Qing who dragged a braid. Chiang Kai-shek just wanted to keep North China and Central China, and had no intention of recapturing the Northeast, and was bent on suppressing the Communists, otherwise the Northeast would have been recaptured long ago with the strength of the whole country. So whether he can defeat Japan independently, Xue Ru has no bottom in his heart.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to keep Nanjing, she just didn't want the Nanjing Massacre, and she didn't want these elite troops to be lost. It would be better for history to follow its original trajectory and drag the United States into war.

Xue Ru just wanted to take the Snow Fox Corps to help the national army reduce losses, kill more devils, and take revenge at key points.

This is related to Xue Ru's background, she is just an ordinary person, she has no overall strategy and all-out war considerations, and just does things according to her own ideas.

I couldn't answer Xiao Shanling's words, so I had to say: "These are not things that I can decide, and no one will believe them." ”

Song Xilian also heard it: "That's not necessarily, if we hold on to Nanjing, attract the devils around, and the chairman mobilizes troops around to encircle the Japanese army, maybe we can change the outcome of the war." ”

Xue Ru didn't dare to be so optimistic, so he had to say: "Then let's see, you can report the situation to the chairman and see what to say." ”

Xiao Shanling was a little confident, but Song Xilian didn't, but both of them felt a little excited. If you can keep Nanjing, it will be different. Immediately study the ideas of the two people, ready to report to the military council.

The two of them went to study these and handed over the command to Xue Ru and Wu Yuzhao. Anyway, the two of them didn't understand, and they didn't know how Xue Ru planned to fight.

Xue Ru also made the two of them think, if this is really the case, can it really change the outcome of the Anti-Japanese War?

For the first time, she considered the War of Resistance in the whole situation, and only then did she set her eyes on the North China battlefield where she was fighting. The Japanese army had already occupied Jinan, Han Fuqu lost Jinan, and the Japanese army was targeting Xuzhou. Once Xuzhou fell and Nanjing ended, they would launch a campaign against Wuhan. That is, after the Battle of Wuhan, Japan no longer had the ability to attack, and the stage of strategic stalemate arrived.

Even if you hold Nanjing this time, can you block the devils from attacking from all sides? I don't have any confidence in this. Xue Ru couldn't think about it, so he didn't think about it anymore, he still used his own tactics, tried his best to eliminate the devil's living force, killed all their people, and watched how he attacked. Anyway, Nanjing still has plenty of ammunition and food, and holding on to it is day by day.

While Xue Ru and the others were studying this, the blocking troops outside and the attacking Japanese army were fighting. The attacking 47th Wing, which was the fastest, received orders to search in depth to determine whether there were no more troops in Nanjing. Tsuneoka Kanji Osa, who received the order, ordered the 1st Brigade to move forward quickly, and the other two brigades searched left and right.

Chunming Street is a main street that leads directly to the headquarters at the back, where Xiao Yong's first squadron is. The more the devils moved forward, the more relieved they became, they already thought that the defenders in Nanjing City had run away. began to become not a search battle formation, the top soldiers of a squadron were completely the posture of bandits entering the city, entering when they saw houses, searching when they saw yards, in fact, they were all looking for good things.

But the more you went inside, the more there was nothing, which made the squadron leader of the search, Captain Miki, very angry, and set fire to several houses in anger. The smoke and fire made Nanjing, which had good sunshine in winter, begin to be full of chaos. But in a huge city, there is only a few places of smoke, and you can't see anything.

Whether the people who resolutely refused to leave regretted it or not, no one knows. Xiao Yong saw the smoke rising from the telescope, and anger began to appear in his eyes. Without looking back, he shouted: "Order three or five squads each, leave this squadron for me."

The heralds ran out of the building and followed the street to inform the troops who were lying in ambush on either side. Guarding the outermost periphery was the third squad, the squad leader Deng Yin looked at the devils on the street at the shooting hole, raised his hand and waved it left and right, and his squad of more than fifty people immediately raised his gun.

On the ridge, behind the wall, at the base of the wall, in hidden places, there were shooting holes, which the 1st Squadron had prepared for several days. Seeing that the devil was really cooperative, he swaggered in like this. Deng Yin's gun was aimed at a devil and pulled the trigger.

Bah, a gunshot rang out, and this devil fell headlong. At the same time, sporadic gunfire rang out all around. Squadron Leader Captain Miki was shocked and finally ran into the Chinese army.

He immediately hid underneath a house and directed the soldiers to return fire. However, the gunfire was scattered and not concentrated, proving that there were not many troops. This could be a straggler, who immediately directed the machine gun and grenadier to return fire.

Captain Miki soon discovered that he could not find a target to return fire. The bullets were in either direction, and there was no place for two shots at all. But with the sound of gunfire, the people around him kept falling.

Angry, he screamed and fired indiscriminately with his machine gun. Zhang Tong has long been eyeing this squadron leader. I don't have a Japanese command sword, and I just became the captain of the detachment, so I have no face.

What is the Devil Squad Leader's knife? If you want to get a squadron leader, preferably a squadron leader. Wave your hand to make your detachment pay attention and don't be beaten by devils. This is an order from the squadron leader, you must get the blood fox flag, otherwise the first squadron will lose face. The casualties are too large, even if there are more devils, it is useless, the first item is to look at the casualties.

Captain Miki thought that his place was well hidden, close to the wall on both sides, and the front was blocked by soldiers. He had already ordered the soldiers to report to the captain behind him, and finally they were blocked by the Chinese army, not a small force, but a planned blockade. If there were few people, it would not have been possible to move so fast. One shot in the east and one shot in the west, showing that there were quite a few people, so he didn't dare to move. He wanted to order a retreat, but a dozen people fell, but he didn't find a target to return fire, and these Zhina troops were very tightly guarded.

Captain Miki didn't know that death was approaching him. The houses on both sides of the street, the back walls and the walls of the houses were opened, and they could come and go freely, and Zhang Tong approached the back of Miki in this way.

He was a little excited, it was so fun to fight like this, and it was a bit like playing hide and seek with his friends in the village. He took down a brick, aimed the bayonet in his hand at the gap, and stabbed it hard. ‘

Miki felt movement behind him, and before he could turn around, he was pierced by a bayonet. He died unjustly, and he didn't understand why bayonets came out of the smooth brick wall.

After seeing the tunnel battle, of course Xue Ru knows how to sneak attack, and he can't dig tunnels here, but it doesn't prevent turning private houses into bunker tunnels. A devil in a squadron, Xiao Yong just sent two squads, one on each side, and ran away when he hit, and changed places with one shot.

The number of people is too small, and the machine guns and grenadiers of a squadron of devils are limited, and besides, they can only shoot blindly, and they can't even see a human figure. I can only wait on the street to be beaten, and it is useless to hide at the base of the wall, and there are still people on the other side.

Sometimes a gun suddenly sticks out of the window, and when you shoot it, you run away, and the devil chases it in and basically can't see anything. If you chase after you through the back door, you won't be able to come back.

They had never fought such a battle, and they didn't know how to deal with it. Miki wanted to hold on until the arrival of the imperial army, but unfortunately when he saw the imperial army sun flag in the distance, he didn't hold on, and closed his eyes with his legs.

The captain of the brigade, Nakamura Masasa, who received the report, was also very happy that he had finally found the Chinese army. They are actually concentrated in the city center, which is their own death. The entire brigade was immediately ordered to attack forward, and at the same time someone was sent to report to the wing commander.

Nakamura didn't know what his squadron was going to do, and when he saw half of the squadron left, he was terrified. Angry scolding: "Baga, attack." ”

A brigade of devils attacked along the streets. Xiao Yong, who was on the small building in the distance, was not satisfied, and it seemed that he didn't want casualties, so these team leaders were a little too cautious. said to the deputy captain Xie Ying: "Order the other three squads to attack and lead the devils away and disperse and eliminate them." ”

Xie Ying hurriedly said: "Yes, do you need to contact with the military number?" ”

Xiao Yong shook his head: "No, you listen, there is no sound of military horns, it is not the right time, it may mislead other squadrons." It's still a human order, and the devil is only a brigade. ”

"Understood," Xie Ying agreed, jumped downstairs and ran forward.
