readx;? Wang Haitao stayed up all night in the city defense headquarters, listening to the sound of guns and cannons on the city, anxiously waiting for the report from the front. www.biquge.info At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Haitao was about to send someone out to investigate, when he heard a commotion coming from the headquarters department. After a while, Gui Yongqing, Tangshan Leopard, and several soldiers walked into the headquarters together.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of these people, Wang Haitao was relieved. After several people came to Wang Haitao and stood up and saluted, Gui Yongqing said: "Report to Commander Wang, our army has completely annihilated the invading Japanese Ninth Division this morning, killed Lieutenant General Nobutoki Ide, commander of the Japanese Ninth Division, Major General Izuo, commander of the Sixth Brigade, Major General Hitomi Hideyama, commander of the 18th Brigade, and Nakagawa Kosa, chief of staff of the Ninth Division, and other commanders, and annihilated more than 6,000 Japanese invaders, captured more than 300 Japanese invaders, and the captured booty is being counted. Here are the epaulettes, documents and sabers of several killed commanders of the 9th Division. ”

Wang Haitao said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, I will immediately report to Chairman Jiang and ask for credit for everyone." In addition, the news media in Nanjing were immediately notified and a press conference was held to announce the news to the major media. Soon after, Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, received a call from Wang Haitao, the commander of Nanjing's city defense.

Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted unit was the teaching corps, and Chiang Kai-shek spent a lot of money and materials on teaching the corps, and now he has completely annihilated the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army under the city of Nanjing. The teaching corps should be rewarded by order. Respectfully, you are going to hold a press conference to vigorously publicize the victory of Nanjing. He Yingqin agreed to come down.

With the convening of the two press conferences, various extranels and supplements of major news media appeared on the streets of the city, and major cities across the country caused another sensation. Although the Japanese army is fierce, it is no longer a terrifying and invincible existence in the eyes of the Chinese people. The 9th Division was once again completely annihilated under the city of Nanjing, which caused the wrath of the Tokyo base camp, and Lieutenant General Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, was also under tremendous pressure.

After receiving the distress signal from the 9th Division, the 101st Division left a wing in front of the Niushoushan position, and the rest of the troops, led by the division commander, Lieutenant General Ito Masakaki, rushed to the Seishonbashi position, and when they arrived at the Seishonkyo position at dawn and launched an attack on the defenders, they met the stubborn resistance of the defenders.

As soon as an attack was launched, a telegram was received that the Ninth Division was preparing all the jade fragments, and after another burst of artillery, there was no movement in the north, and the commander of the 101st Division, Ito Masakai, deduced that the Ninth Division must have encountered a large number of main forces in ambush, so there was no way to break through, and if the troops of the Ninth Division attacked themselves, they would probably not be able to resist with the strength of one division.

Thinking of this, Masaki Ito ordered the 101st Division to cover the retreat of the independent heavy artillery brigade. The 101st Division and the Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade did not stop until they reached Banqiao Town and were stationed on the spot. And Ito Masaki immediately sent a telegram to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters asking for instructions on whether to continue the offensive.

The 9th Division advanced lightly and was ambushed by the main force of China, so that Lieutenant General Hatohiko of Asakanomiya was reprimanded by the base camp, if he were not a member of the imperial family, I am afraid he would be the same as Matsui Ishone. In anger, Lieutenant General Hatohiko of Asakanomiya ordered an all-out attack on Nanjing, and he must take the first part of Nanjing City as soon as possible, only in this way can he give an explanation to the Tokyo base camp.

Under the strict orders of the commander of the Asakanomiya Hatohiko, the Japanese army's three-way army intensified its attack. Although there was only one 101st Division left on the left, the commander of the Ito Masakaki Division sent only one wing to pin down the defenders of Niushou Mountain, while the main force, under the cover of independent heavy artillery brigades and aircraft, launched a fierce attack on the Seishonhashi position.

The 3rd Division in the middle also launched a fierce attack on Fangshan and Jiangning County, and the artillery wings of the two divisions concentrated on the Fangshan position, as if to suppress or destroy the artillery of the main position on the top of Fangshan with dense artillery fire. Under the bombardment of dozens of Japanese artillery, the fortress and artillery position of the main position on the top of Fang Mountain were severely damaged, and several mountain guns could no longer provide artillery support for the defenders.

And the most nervous is here in Kirin Town. Although the resistance of the 160th Division to the Japanese army was also tenacious, the strength of the 160th Division itself was poor, and the 16th Division of the Japanese army was supported by the tank brigade.

After holding out on to Qilin Town for three days, the new division commander Deng Zhicai personally sent a telegram to Wang Haitao, requesting that Qilin Town be withdrawn. After Wang Haitao completely annihilated the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, he thought that the Japanese army would be careful to slow down the offensive, but he did not expect the Japanese army to launch a more fierce offensive. In the city defense headquarters, Wang Haitao looked at the map and said to himself: "Little Japan has been completely annihilated by a division, and it is still so rampant, it seems that the fight is not painful enough, then I will give you a little more power." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned back to his adjutant and said, "Go and send a telegram to Tang Renxin of the 90th Division and ask him to prepare to meet the enemy." Then he called back to Deng Zhicai, the commander of the 160th Division, and agreed that they should withdraw from the Qilin Town position and withdraw to the Zhongshan Gate to rest and recuperate. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then go and invite Captain Gui of the Teaching Corps, Chief of Staff Qiu and Commander Wu of the Armored Regiment to the headquarters." The adjutant agreed.

After a while, Gui Yongqing, Qiu Qingquan, and Wu Jianzhou came to the headquarters one after another. This time, the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, and the three of them were all promoted to the rank of one level, Gui Yongqing became a general, and Qiu Qingquan and Wu Jianzhou also applied for major generals, Wu Jianzhou was fine, but Gui Yongqing and Qiu Qingquan were very proud, after coming to the headquarters today, Gui Yongqing first asked: "Commander Wang, do you have something to do with us?"

Wang Haitao smiled and asked rhetorically: "Why is it not fun to fight?" Gui Yongqing replied: "Little Japan has not been beaten, and a division has been completely wiped out in this way, and it seems that the strength is not very good." Wang Haitao said: "That's because this ninth division has advanced lightly to the enemy, and half of the division has no heavy artillery and aircraft cover, and suddenly encountered our heavy artillery and armored troops, plus your trump card, it will be completely annihilated." But little Japan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't underestimate the enemy. ”

Gui Yongqing didn't take Wang Haitao's words seriously, and Wang Haitao didn't say much anymore, but changed the topic and said: "After the Ninth Division was completely annihilated, Little Japan strengthened its offensive instead, and it seems that the fight is not painful enough, so I'll whip him again to see if he hurts?" Gui Yongqing asked with joy on his face: "Commander Wang, who are you going to fight this time?"

Wang Haitao pointed to the map and said: "You see, the 101st Division on the left has the 9th Division as a precursor, and now we are cautious and huddle with the independent heavy artillery brigade, and we can't beat him for the time being; there are the 3rd Division and the 22nd Division on the middle road, but there is the Jiangning Town defense line in front of the middle road and the Yuhuatai defense line behind it, so we can put it aside for the time being; and the 16th Division on the right road, plus the 5th Division and two tank brigades, and a heavy artillery wing, will conquer the first line of Tangshan and Qilin Town, and will immediately launch an attack on our Purple Mountain position. If we give this heavy group of Japanese troops a hard blow outside the Zhongshan Gate, then the Japanese army will definitely rein in a lot. ”

After Wang Haitao finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at a few people, Gui Yongqing and Qiu Qingquan both put away their smiles, and looked at the map with a serious face, only Wu Jianzhou looked at Wang Haitao with trust, in Wu Jianzhou's heart, Wang Haitao was a god-like existence, there were too many miracles that happened to him, and he didn't need to judge the right or wrong of the military seat's words at all, as long as he did what the military seat said.

After a long while, Gui Yongqing took his eyes off the map and looked at Wang Haitao, breaking the silence in the headquarters. Gui Yongqing said: "Commander Wang, there are tens of thousands of Japanese troops in this group, plus there are chariots and heavy artillery, plus the support of aircraft, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight." Commander Wang should think twice. ”

Wang Haitao smiled and said: "I know that this group of Japanese troops is large in number and well-equipped, and it is not easy to fight, but first, there is only one mountain road outside the Zhongshan Gate, and this mountain road is narrow and rugged, and no matter how many Japanese troops there are, it cannot be spread out; second, on the Purple Mountain is the 90th Division, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, and its weaponry and personnel quality are among the best. Thirdly, my armored regiment will definitely defeat the Japanese tank without any doubt, as long as the Japanese heavy artillery wing is destroyed in advance, the armored regiment will not be afraid of any Japanese army. ”

After saying this, Wang Haitao saw that Gui Yongqing and Qiu Qingquan were thoughtful, so he said again: "Of course, now is not a good time to attack, I will let the 90th Division teach Little Japan a lesson first, and if there is a suitable time, we will give Little Japan a hard time." Gui Yongqing and Qiu Qingquan showed a relieved look at this time, and Gui Yongqing said: "Then you want us to teach the corps what to do, Commander Wang only has to give the order and guarantee the completion of the task." ”

Wang Haitao nodded and said, "Now I just want you to teach the corps to arrange two regiments to be stationed in Tianbao City outside the Zhongshan Gate, waiting for the next order." As for Wu Jianzhou, your armored battalion will go to the barracks in Zhongshan Gate after replenishing fuel and ammunition, and also wait for orders. The three of them stood up at the same time and replied, "Humble and respectful!" After speaking, the three of them turned around and left the headquarters.

The Japanese 16th Division was also a little exhausted after capturing the town of Qilin, so it rested in the town of Qilin, and the 5th Division suddenly broke off contact with these squads after sending some squads to infiltrate the positions of the Chinese people. The division commander, Seishiro Itagaki, saw that the 16th Division was beginning to rest, so he advanced to the front of the 16th Division and continued in the direction of Nanjing, while a tank brigade also advanced.
