Chapter 95: The Jedi Strikes Back (4)

Fierce fighting finally broke out here on Chunming Street, and a large group of Japanese soldiers were beaten dizzy. The surrounding buildings become death traps, like a demon, ready to shoot bullets at any moment.

The fact that the Japanese army fell into passivity so quickly was related to their ignorance, which was an urban street battle with the characteristics of modern warfare. Snow Fox has not been trained for a long time either, nor has it been systematically trained. But they are all veterans and have rich battlefield experience, and they are like fish in water to fight such a sneak attack.

The attacking Japanese troops were neither familiar with the streets nor had such training, let alone the soldiers, and even the officers did not know how to deal with such a situation. The most basic point is that the Japanese did not know how to seize the commanding heights, they still had the same tactics as before, concentrating their forces to attack forward along the streets.

The Snow Fox No. 1 Squadron, which was ambushed in the buildings on both sides of the street, ran away with a single shot and quickly changed positions according to the predetermined tactics. Snow Fox is also in an advantageous position in terms of equipment, that is, each soldier is basically a double gun, and even the machine gun deputy has a pistol.

In a confined space, the rifles of the Japanese army, which were more than two meters long, were obviously not very good, and after five shots, there had to be time to press the bullet into the chamber. At this time, they suffered huge casualties.

What made Nakamura Masakasa unbearable the most was that the blocking force was obviously planned, and they hit machine guns and grenadiers, making it difficult for the Japanese firepower to exert its firepower. The rest of the infantry was only beaten up.

At first, Nakamura Masakasa also wanted to concentrate his forces along the streets, and according to common sense, the command center of the blocking force must be behind. He ordered to report to the wing commander for reinforcements while attacking forward.

But he was wrong, there was no blocking position at all, and the streets were indeed full of obstacles, but there was no one to guard them. All the people were on both sides of the street, and they did not stop the Japanese from advancing, but they attacked on both sides.

Before a brigade of Japanese troops advanced 200 meters, nearly 100 people had already been killed or wounded. Nakamura had no choice but to attack on both sides, hoping to eliminate these despicable Shina people.

As a result, a brigade was dispersed, and the troops that were chased out never returned. He couldn't do it if he wanted to gather his troops and retreat, his brigade had been scattered and divided, and he was caught in a situation of being beaten on all sides. Machine guns finally appeared on the battlefield, and this was against a large force of Japanese troops. There are no heavy machine guns, they are all light machine guns, and Snow Fox has always used light machine guns as *.

Every time there was a light machine gun, there were more than three or four, and it was a wild sweep, and then it shifted and disappeared into the alleys and houses. Tsuneoka Kanji Osa in the back finally caught up, saw the embarrassed Nakamura Masakasa, and ordered their brigade to withdraw.

When a brigade of thousands of people retreated, Nakamura almost fainted. Because there were less than two squadrons of soldiers left in his brigade. Only more than 300 people returned, other soldiers did not, and sporadic gunfire was heard in distant residential areas.

I don't know if he deliberately shirked his responsibility, or if he was really afraid, Nakamura hurriedly said: "Report to Your Excellency, the blocking force is the Snow Fox Corps. ”

Tsuneoka Kanji Osaku took a cool breath. When he first heard about this snow fox, he was still very unconvinced. What's the big deal, in the face of a strong army, trickery is useless. The attack on Nanjing was not one of their wings. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops can't do it, how much of a role can a snow fox play?

But looking at the 1st Brigade in front of you, you are giving yourself a dismount. In such a short time, he almost annihilated one of his own brigades. How many brigades can there be in two wings? It's still such a short distance after encountering a snow fox. With an advance of less than 300 meters and the loss of more than 700 men, if the attack reached the central point, his own wing would not exist.

With a gloomy face, he said: "Report to the brigade commander and ask for operational guidance." Then an order was conveyed to bring over the artillery brigade of the wing, assemble the artillery squadron, and use the artillery to destroy the buildings on both sides of the street and cover the attack of the troops.

The Japanese withdrew from this distance, and Xiao Yong's operations also stopped. The guard behind him shouted: "Squadron leader, telephone." ”

Xiao Yong took the phone and listened to it, and immediately stood upright: "Yes, resolutely carry out the order." ”

This was the order of the captain to Wen Bin, and the command ordered to defeat the Japanese troops in front of them, and the defense line of the troops was extended and advanced by one kilometer.

Xiao Yong didn't know why, the larger the expanded defensive range, the larger the gap in the middle, after all, Snow Fox's strength was limited. More than 3,000 people guard the front several kilometers wide, and if they push forward, they will let the devils in. But Xiang Wenbin asked him to carry out the order and not fight hard.

He stood up and said that he was carrying out the order, and judged in his heart that the captain had some ghost idea. Thinking about Xue Ru's sly smile, Xiao Yong's heart trembled, did he dare to marry the captain? Let's not say that I will offend the entire Snow Fox Corps, and I will not be bullied every day in the future?

But he doesn't want to, and he can't do it, as long as he doesn't fight, his heart is full of Xue Ru's shadow, and he can't wait to see her every moment. It seems that Xue Ru must be from a good background, and he even asked for a house and a car. But how can I have it, I have to save money desperately, but unfortunately I haven't paid that little military salary.

However, I have saved a lot of money in these battles, and I also have brothers to help. It seems that if the war is over, he will be able to save a lot of money. Even if Xue Ru doesn't say it, he is a man, and he has to support his daughter-in-law.

Shaking his head, he drove away the cranky thoughts in his head, raised his binoculars and watched the Japanese army in the distance gather troops, and the number of them was increasing. Cannon? The devil actually brought the artillery in, and said to Xie Ying, who had just rushed back: "The command order, defeat the devil, and advance the front one kilometer to the area of Xingqing Road." The squads were ordered, moving forward, concentrating on striking at the scattered units of the Japanese army, approaching the artillery position, destroying it. ”

Xie Ying agreed and conveyed the order to the various squads. At this time, an order came to Wen Bin, and it was four squadrons to attack together. Xiao Yong: They broke through the forces in the middle and divided the Japanese army, and the other squadrons were divided twice, completely separating the Japanese army and breaking each one.

Against such an enemy, the Snow Fox Corps has taken a big advantage. According to the order, the 3rd Squadron, the 5th Squadron and the 7th Squadron moved around the 47th Wing of Kanji Tsuneoka through the passage opened in the private house.

Just when Xue Ru commanded the troops to encircle the 47th Wing, the 36th Wing, which fell into the same situation, was even worse than Tsuneoka Kanji.

The second brigade commanded by Ji Min was not cautious to Wen Bin when facing an attack by a brigade. Directly the second squadron and the fourth squadron attacked on the left and right.

Liu Yuanshan of the 2nd Squadron and Du Heng of the 4th Squadron invested all their forces at one time and surrounded the 3rd Brigade of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army on both sides of the street. In such street battles, the two squadrons of Snow Fox reached more than 500 people, and the Japanese army was a one-to-two force, sneak attack, encirclement and annihilation, gather and annihilate, and lure the enemy to disperse. The captain of the brigade, Toshiichi Akita, did not escape the fate of being killed.

By the time Wakisaka Jiro arrived, one of his brigades had been completely lost, and the remnants had to retreat and concentrate, which was the Zhongzheng Road, the main road in the center of Nanjing. The streets are wide, the buildings are high, and many of them are made of concrete.

Looking at the corpses of the imperial army on the street, Wakisaka Jiro Daisa's eyes were on fire, but he couldn't even catch the shadow of the snow fox, so he had to bombard the surrounding buildings with cannons to vent his anger. But what problems can be solved by this can only be reported to the division commander.

King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace outside the city was also a little dumbfounded, how many troops were there in the city?

According to the abandonment of the city wall, according to the number of breakthroughs reported around, the total number of troops in Nanjing City will not be too many, and the attack of the five wings is already more than 10,000 troops, and with the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army, there is basically no problem. However, just after noon, a report was received that all five wings were blocked and could not advance. That's not all, there were heavy casualties. According to staff calculations, more than one wing has already been lost.

The Chinese army did not invest many troops, which was about the same as the strength of the imperial army. How is this possible, has the Chinese army suddenly received divine help and its combat effectiveness has become stronger?

Looking at the report in his hand and staring at the map, Major General Fan Zhaoshou said: "Your Excellency Commander, we have been fooled, and the Chinese army is showing weakness to the enemy and introducing us into the city. The five wings have a lot of troops, but they are too scattered to form a force. ”

King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace glanced at the rice edict coldly, this is not his idea, ask to be cautious, not to attack too many troops at once?

He is the military commander-in-chief, and the chief of staff only provides reference and advice, and the decision is up to him, and he can't open his mouth to complain: "Order the troops to temporarily stop the offensive, all the other divisions and regiments into the city, concentrate the strength of five divisions and regiments, attack the center, surround the Chinese army, and annihilate it." ”

Fan Zhaoshou also knew that his prudence had lost the opportunity, so that in one day, he did not occupy Nanjing, and the loss was not small. It was his duty to make suggestions, and he couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, I think that since the Chinese army is concentrated in the center of the city, the strength is very concentrated, and I ask for aircraft bombing, even if it is bombing, it can make them fail and reduce the casualties of the soldiers." ”

"Yo Xi" King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace felt that this suggestion was not bad, they actually had tens of thousands of troops, so they sent planes to bomb them. Drawing inferences, he also came to the cleverness, and continued: "Order the 7th Chariot Wing to enter through the cleared city gate, divide into two teams, assist the 6th Division and the 9th Division, attack the center and intersperse, and crush the Chinese army." ”

Thinking about it, he said: "Order all heavy artillery wings, independent field artillery wings, to enter the city and establish artillery positions. Cooperate with the Air Force to bombard the city center and completely destroy the positions of the Chinese army. ”

"Hi" Fan Zhaoshou hurriedly agreed. However, before he could give the order, the reports from various places made him not know what to do for a while, so he had to say: "Commander, I just received a report that the Chinese government army has launched a counteroffensive, and several wings have suffered heavy casualties and have been forced to retreat. ”

King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace sneered: "A group of fools, who don't know the strength of the Imperial Japanese Army, ordered each division to retreat backwards and give the plane a certain target. ”

Ichirushu was a little convinced, King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace was a prince, and he always thought that he only became a lieutenant general commander by relying on royal blood, and now it seems that he really has the ability to command. If the Imperial Army was too far ahead, the planes would not be able to exert their power. By their counteroffensive, retreating, blocking the line with artillery, and bombing the middle with aircraft, the Chinese army was defeated.

As the chief of staff, of course, all these things are his, and immediately give orders to each division and regiment to make adjustments.

In the headquarters of the Datong shop, Wu Yuzhao said: "Captain, the Japanese army retreated, and the predetermined front was reached in all four directions. But it was reported to the detachment commander that the Japanese army retreated on their own initiative. ”

Xue Ru asked, "Isn't there any news from Wei Ming yet?" ”

Wu Yuzhao shook his head: "What is this kid doing?" Didn't it be discovered by the Japanese army? ”

Xue Ru was not sure, although it was judged that it was impossible for the devils to control the entire city immediately, but after all, they were tens of thousands of people. said: "Don't worry, let's see the situation." ”

Song Xilian came over: "Xue Ru, I just received an order from the Military Committee, let us break through in the direction of Xuancheng and join the 19th Group Army, and they will respond to the Langxi Lishui generation." The Japanese army had already occupied Hangzhou and did not agree with us to hold on to Nanjing. ”

Xue Ru was very strange, why was Lao Jiang so wise this time and didn't agree to stick to it? However, he didn't plan to hold on, whether to retreat to Lishui Langxi, or depending on the situation, the battle of Nanjing was not over. He nodded and said, "Tell them that the battle of Nanjing is not over yet, and we will talk about it then." ”

Wu Yuzhao glanced at Song Xilian and saw that he was not unhappy, and he didn't say anything. He felt that the captain was very bold, no matter what, Song Xilian was the supreme commander of Nanjing at this time, Xue Ru actually spoke in this tone of superiors to subordinates, but Song Xilian had no opinion.

also opened his mouth to call Xue Ru's name, the power of beauty is strong. There was something strange in his heart, he felt as if Xue Ru was deliberately taking advantage of this. Lan Xun Zhou, Xiao Yong, their meaning is obvious, but Xue Ru treats everyone equally, and he can't see who he likes.

Of course, Song Xilian, who is just thirty years old, looks good, is a military commander, and that Zhang Lingfu, it seems that the captain is also very special to him.

Xue Ru didn't feel it herself, how could she be in the mood to think about this now. It's normal for girls to be liked, in the barracks, in college, which is not surrounded by a group of people-pleasers, unless you look too sorry for everyone.

spoke to Song Xilian like this because Xue Ru lacked a sense of awe for the people of this era in his heart. There was no respect for the Military Council and Chairman Chiang either.

Besides, no matter how old Xue Ru is in later life, this identity is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and everyone admits that she is seventeen years old. It's early at that time, so I can't tell you which day I'm going to hang up.

Just wanted to ask about the casualties of the troops, Liu Quan ran over: "Captain, Captain Wei telegraphed." ”
