Chapter 380: Believing in Friendly Forces?
Nanjing, formerly known as "Yingtianfu", was the capital city of the early Ming Dynasty, and was famous for its tall, solid, majestic and magnificent Ming Dynasty city wall buildings. It is next to Zhongshan Mountain in the east, according to the stone in the west, Qinhuai in the south, Houhu in the north, the circumference is 96 miles, the measured 35.267 kilometers, the scale is grand, the momentum is majestic, it is not only the largest city in ancient China in existence, but also second to none in the history of city wall architecture in the world. In 1366 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, listened to Zhu Sheng's suggestion of "building a high wall", and began to build the city wall, which was completed in 1386, and lasted for 21 years. The scale of the building is large, the city base is 14 meters wide, the widest point is 30 meters, the height is 14-21 meters, there are 13,616 battlements, 200 nests, 13 city gates.
Among the 13 city gates in Nanjing, the South Gate Zhonghua Gate is the most spectacular, and the solidity of the Zhonghua Gate is directed towards the Yuhuatai directly south of it. The Purple Mountain in Yuhuatai was a must for the attack on Nanjing, and as long as the Japanese army captured these two commanding heights, the defenders could only resist with the fortifications of Nanjing City. Therefore, the four city gates of Zhonghua and Guanghua under Yuhuatai, as well as Zhongshan and Taiping under the Purple Mountain, have become the first fortresses. In the northwest of Nanjing, there is a very important back gate, that is, Rujiang Gate. Xiaguan outside the Rujiang Gate is the port leading to the rear. Once the army is defeated, it will become the door of escape, since ancient times, Nanjing's attack and defense is undoubtedly not based on this model, and this time is naturally no exception.
"According to the previous plan, the 205th Division will guard the Purple Mountain, the 1st National Defense Division will guard Yuhuatai, the 214th Division will guard the Zhongshan and Taiping gates, and the 212th Division will guard the Zhonghua and Guanghua gates. The 206th Division and the 207th Division guarded the rest of the positions, and the 210th Division and the guard regiment and the special service regiment of the troops directly under the headquarters stayed in the city as reserves, so that we have a total of about 7 and a half divisions, with a total strength of about 120,000 people. Wen Yingxing introduced the general situation to Jin Zhao. According to the normal establishment of the Fujian army, the strength of these seven divisions should reach about 150,000, but due to successive battles, the troops have not been completely replenished, and the total strength is only about 120,000.
"120,000 people! If we really plan to defend Nanjing, these 120,000 people are enough to fight out more than 300,000 little devils! What a pity! I still can't bear it. Jin Zhao laughed. If Jin Zhao really fought to the death with the Japanese army in Nanjing, the Japanese army could get reinforcements in a steady stream, but it was not so easy for the besieged Nanjing City to get reinforcements, and in the end Nanjing City could not be saved. What's more, Jin Zhao was indeed reluctant to consume all the 120,000 elite soldiers in Nanjing.
"Then should we send troops to take over the defense of Pukou, in case the Japanese army captures Pukou, then our only way to retreat will also be cut off." Wen Yingxing said with a frown.
"Huh! It is the first division that does not need to guard Pukou, and with this Tianzi first division stationed, Pukou can be safe, we have to believe in our friendly army! Jin Zhao said with a smile.
Believe in a hair? Not to mention a first division, even the entire first army may not be able to stop the attack of the two divisions of the little devils. Wen Yingxing thought in his heart, but seeing Jin Zhao's calm and confident expression, Wen Yingxing couldn't help but wonder if Jin Zhao had a new plan in advance, Wen Yingxing would not be stupid to really think that Jin Zhao trusted those central armies so much, not to mention whether the central army had the strength to hold Pukou, it was not clear whether they wanted to defend it or not! Lao Jiang wanted to get rid of Jin Zhao in his dreams. "Could it be that the general seat already has a foolproof plan in mind!" Wen Yingxing finally couldn't help but ask.
"Foolproof? Who can guarantee that their plans are foolproof! But I do have a plan in mind, but it's not mature yet, so I'll tell you when I think about it! Jin Zhao said with a smile.
Wen Yingxing almost vomited blood when he heard this, feeling that your old man just thought of a plan, and it was a not very complete plan, so you still look so confident. If Wen Yingxing was also crossing the crowd, such a word would definitely pop up to describe Jin Zhao at this time, that is, pretending to be 13. It's a pity that Wen Yingxing still doesn't understand what this powerful word means, so now Wen Yingxing just thinks that Jin Zhao is a little overconfident. Jin Zhao is young after all, and now is the time to be young and proud, and it is inevitable to be a little proud, after all, is he a young man? This is understandable. But Jin Zhao is his top boss after all, and if you want to persuade him, you have to organize the language well, otherwise you will say the wrong thing and anger Jin Zhao, and it will be troublesome. Wen Yingxing was struggling with where to persuade Jin Zhao, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that Jin Zhao was no longer there, and when he asked, he found out that he was tired and went back to sleep. Wen Yingxing was speechless for a moment, it was this time, this heartless guy was still asleep.
The night was getting deeper, and soon it was the second half of the night, Chen Dazhu was already sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, but he knew that he couldn't sleep, because it was his turn to be on duty today, and a kilometer away was the Japanese position. Thinking of this, Chen Dazhu shook his head desperately, trying to keep himself awake, but he has been fighting these days, Chen Dazhu followed the troops from Wuxi to Nanjing, and he didn't get a good night's sleep for so long.
"I can't sleep!" Chen Dazhu gritted his teeth and said to himself. Chen Dazhu stood up and moved a little, in order to refresh himself, at this moment he suddenly heard a sound, although the sound was very slight, but Chen Dazhu heard clearly, as an excellent hunter, not only to have good eyesight, but also to have a good sense of hearing, the reason why Chen Dazhu can become a good hunter in his hometown is because his hearing and vision are far beyond ordinary people, in addition to a precise marksmanship, such conditions do not want to be a good hunter is difficult! Chen Dazhu was sure that the sound he heard just now should be the sound of people stepping on gravel. Someone? Chen Dazhu was suddenly startled, and his sleepiness disappeared.
"Who?" Chen Dazhu asked loudly with his gun in his hand.
"My own people!" After a while, an answer came from the other side,
Chen Dazhu vaguely saw a few dark shadows suddenly coming out of the darkness, the other party spoke Chinese, it should be his own people, but these people looked like they were coming from the direction of the Japanese army position opposite, Chen Dazhu couldn't help but be vigilant again, and asked loudly, "Password?"
