Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 568 Defending Nanjing ([-])

Historically, after the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Battle of Songhu was the first to be fought. However, in this time and space, something went wrong, and Shanghai fell early. The Japanese threat in Shanghai.During the Second Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, although Nanjing made an active defensive posture, it was still vulnerable in the end.If it hadn't been for the Xuebing army to surround the First Army of the Japanese North China Front Army, so that Lao Jiang had the capital to negotiate peace with the Japanese army, Nanjing would have fallen at this time.

With the pain of the last fall, Lao Jiang hoarded heavy troops in Nanjing this time, a total of five group armies and four divisions of garrison troops, and Lao Jiang himself served as the commander-in-chief.In addition, the support troops used to defend the capital in various places included three Sichuan Army divisions, one Guangxi Division, the main force of the Northeast Army of the five divisions led by Zhang Shaoshuai, and a mixed army of the Xuebing Army led by Ouyang Yun himself.There are four divisions under the army, and one division is drawn from each army, including the third division from the first army, the fifth division from the second army, the tenth division from the third army, and 60 divisions from the fourth army.

Originally, there was no target for the Xuebing Army among the local troops to assist Nanjing. However, considering that the war had not yet spread to Fujian and Guangdong, under Ouyang Yun's suggestion, the Xuebing Army dispatched this relatively powerful mixed army. .

On the issue of sending troops to Nanjing, the high-level Xuebing army opposed it.Headed by Jiang Shuren, including Fan Xudong and Xiang Hanping, they all agreed to send troops and thought it was unnecessary.Among them, Jiang Shuren said: "Wars cost money, Ouyang, recently we have spent a lot of money to reorganize the army!"Although pharmaceutical factories and other overseas factories are very profitable, no amount of money can be spent like this!Let me do the math for you...Xiang Hanping doesn't care about finances. His reason for objecting is: the duty of our student army is to defend Fujian and Guangdong, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have their own second theater in charge, and Lao Jiang doesn't have hard targets. They don't trust us, so why should we put our hot faces on other people's cold asses?
Ouyang Yun's real consideration, on the one hand, was naturally because of the "Nanjing Massacre" that made the people of the country feel so painful, and hoped that he could contribute to this matter.On the other hand, if you are worried that Jiangsu and Zhejiang will fall too quickly, it will definitely not be a good thing for the defense of Fujian and Guangdong.After the Xuebing Army entered Guangdong, it had just completed its reorganization, and the true combat effectiveness of the troops had yet to be tested. If the Japanese army attacked Fujian and Guangdong too quickly, it would be a big question whether the Xuebing Army could hold it.

The first reason is that I cannot tell everyone.Therefore, he mainly used the second reason as an argument.It is quite sufficient to find a reason. After all, once Jiangsu and Zhejiang fall, the Japanese army will gain the territory in East China, and the next step will definitely be to infiltrate the inland and coastal areas in an all-round way.Delaying the Japanese army in the Nanjing area for a longer period of time is definitely beneficial to the student army. In this case, it is also appropriate to dispatch one-third of the main force to participate in the defense of Nanjing.

The Battle of Nanjing started in full swing, and the first battle between the two sides was naturally the Air Force.In this regard, the real strength gap between the two countries is undoubtedly highlighted at once.The Japanese army participated in the battle on the first day with more than 200 aircraft, of which more than 130 took off from its naval aircraft carrier.As for Nanjing, there are only more than [-] fighters in total.

Therefore, in the air battle on the first day, although the Chinese pilots were quite tenacious, the final result was still frightening.The Chinese side lost 57 fighter planes, while the Japanese army only lost 36 planes, and 19 of them were shot down by air defense forces. "I remember that the Kuomintang's air force is very fierce!" At night, when camping at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, Ouyang Yun was shocked when he learned the results of the air battle during the day, and couldn't help talking to himself.Then, he thought that in that time and space, all the fighters of the Cantonese Army were finally accepted by Lao Jiang, and now, most of these fighters belonged to him. He couldn't help smiling bitterly: I didn't expect that I would accidentally change this history. "Do you want to send air forces to support? It seems that the fact that the number of disparities is still not changed, um, let's keep it in the sky over Fujian and Guangdong and do it with the little devils! Airplanes are not rifles, just mess around with them. However, those two L[-] should be able to play a role!" After making up his mind, Ouyang Yun felt a little relieved.

Who does war hurt the most?soldier?No, it's the common people.

After entering Zhejiang the next day, Ouyang Yun encountered people fleeing from time to time. Ouyang Yun was very moved. He said to Chen Shichang: "Shichang, do you see that? This is all caused by the incompetence of our soldiers! Therefore, a country No matter how poor you are, you can’t be poor in the army, because if you fall behind, you will be beaten! Well, you will send a telegram to Mr. Jiang later, asking him to spare some time to plan the acceptance of refugees. If you have the ability, please help Let's go!"

"Okay!" Chen Shichang agreed and went to the staff department.

Considering the cruelty of this expedition, Ouyang Yun did not let Bai Liusu out, so Liu Zheliang took care of all his personal affairs now.

Everyone should be familiar with Liu Zheliang, Ouyang Yun's original orderly, who later went to Dongshan to develop.After the student army entered Guangdong this time, Liu Zheliang urged Ouyang Yun to return to the army more than once, and finally became his colonel's adjutant.

Although Jiang Shuren and the others opposed sending troops, when it became a fact, they were more concerned about the situation of this sending of troops than anyone else. Among them, what they repeatedly told Liu Kui and others was to ensure Ouyang Yun's safety.Considering the complexity of the situation in Nanjing, letting Liu Zheliang take care of Ouyang Yun can be considered a lot of peace of mind for them.

The army that Ouyang Yun brought out this time was obviously four first-class reorganized divisions, but actually included a regiment of the Spike Special Forces Brigade, and a mechanized infantry brigade directly under the headquarters.

The time for the Xuebing army to enter Guangdong is still too short, so not all the troops have completed the change of clothes.The reason why Ouyang Yun chose to bring these four divisions out was, on the one hand, that the combat effectiveness of the four divisions was not weak, and on the other hand, it was because of their equipment.Among these four divisions, except for the three brigades of the third division, which are all Weiqing-style firearms, and the two brigades of the 60th division (the 60th division still adopts the establishment of the Central Army, and one division has two brigades) are all the official, Xuewu Division and Xueshi Division are both the Weiqing style of one brigade and the middle formal of the two brigades.

The reason why he wanted to bring such a mixed army out was that Ouyang Yun was afraid that other people, especially Lao Jiang, would be jealous. "Anti-Japanese, I have nothing to say, I must be at the forefront. But at the same time, I have to protect myself a little bit. After all, I have died once. If I am not selfish, I will really die!" It was what Ouyang Yun said when explaining to his subordinates why he took these divisions to the front.Because of what he said, those teachers who had all changed into Wei Qing's style originally regretted why they rushed to change their outfits in advance.At this moment, Wei Qingshi is not as attractive to them as before.From this point of view, these teachers are really militants!
This, of course, is what Ouyang Yun is happy to see.
