Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 570 Defending Nanjing ([-])

According to the different charges, the "Wanfu" rockets are divided into three types, among which the "I type" ammunition is equipped with incendiary bombs.The biggest feature of this napalm bomb is that once it explodes, it can cause violent combustion even on the water surface.

The current garrison in Jiangyin County is the 87th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and its commander is Wang Jingjiu.When the vanguard of the Xuebing Army arrived at the front line of Huangshan Mountain in Jiangyin, it happened that the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy was bombing the Chinese ships in the dock.I saw dozens of Japanese fighter planes painted with the sun flag hovering in the air, dropping bombs downward from time to time, and there were rumbling explosions on the river from time to time. A column of water several feet high.On the Chinese side, because of the lack of fighters to confront it, all resistance forces are reflected in ground firepower.With the Huangshan artillery position as the main body, supplemented by the anti-aircraft firepower on the warship, clouds of smoke exploded in the sky from time to time, but the effect was quite limited.

By the time Ouyang Yun arrived, the battle was over.In this battle, the national army lost two gunboats, and what they got in return was the shooting down of three enemy planes.

In the headquarters of Huangshan Fort, Ouyang Yun met Wang Jingjiu.Wang Jingjiu, as a graduate of the first batch of Whampoa Military Academy, belongs to the senior generation in the Central Military System, so although Ouyang Yun's current military rank and position far surpass him, he does not have the respect and restraint that a subordinate should have for a superior. .

As a defense force, the Xuebing Army is subject to his restraint.However, because General Zhang Zhizhong called him not long ago, telling him that he must not treat the Xuebing Army as a guest army, so when it comes to the distribution of combat power against the enemy, he was not so arrogant that he asked the Xuebing Army to stand aside. play meaning.

Wang Jingjiu's brows were furrowed now, and his heart was filled with worry. It wasn't about the defense of Jiangyin Fortress. Although the 87th Division is stationed in Jiangyin, its full responsibility is to guard the entire Chengxi defense line together with the 88th Division.

The importance of the Jiangyin Fortress has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.Because of this, the Kuomintang has put a lot of effort into the defense of the fortress.For this reason, even the county magistrate and other cadres in Jiangyin County were replaced by soldiers.And under the auspices of these cadres and the 87th Division, Jiangyin County's war defense work is quite in place. So far, more than 5 civilians have been trained.If the 87th Division only defended the fortress, then, relying on the complete river defense fortifications, they are fully capable of doing the job, but what makes Wang Jingjiu feel headache now is precisely an urgent telegram from the Wufu line.In order to build Wu Fu's defense line, Lao Jiang also spent a lot of money, but his troops are really bad.The fortifications are not well maintained. The most annoying thing is that in some places where the local troops are responsible for the daily maintenance, the building materials were stolen by the locals, causing a large area of ​​fortifications to be paralyzed.Under such circumstances, although the national army who was ordered to guard the Wu-Fu line this time was still serving their lives, under the torrent of Japanese armor, they had no power to fight back at all-the loss of the Wu-Fu line was only a matter of time.Then, once the three cities of Wuxi, Suzhou, and Shazhou fall, then the Jiangyin Fortress is very likely to face the encirclement of the Japanese army on land and water.

The Xuebing Army transferred from Wuxi to Jiangyin. The reason why they chose such a road was because there was a complete road between Wuxi and Jiangyin.Except for the armored units, the four divisions of the Xuebing Army who fought this time all took large trucks. Therefore, the detour to Wuxi accelerated the march.

"Did your army come from Wuxi?" Wang Jingjiu raised his head, looked at Ouyang Yun and asked.Behind the two stood their respective subordinates.Among them, Liu Kui and the others had their eyes wide open, and they were not pretending - Wang Jingjiu's disrespect to Ouyang Yun obviously made them feel extremely unhappy.

Ouyang Yun had just left Wuxi when he heard the news that Wu Fu's line was tight. He nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, the Japanese army hadn't come yet."

Wang Jingjiu looked at him and said very bluntly: "Commander Ouyang, please forgive me, if your army stays on the Wufu line, it will play a greater role. As far as I know, your army has two brigades As for the armored force, it can just fill up the destroyed fortifications of the Wufu Line."

Ouyang Yun also looked at him, without any intention of dodging, and said: "Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty. Since the chairman asked us to help defend the fort, there is a reason for him. I don't think I have the right to change orders without authorization. Wang Commander, the Xuebing Army has already arrived in Jiangyin, so please assign tasks. As far as the current situation is concerned, I think that our department is now not only to defend the river, but also to prevent the Japanese army from Wu Fu's line. I suggest that our two Separate the parts, let's each take on one side! According to the equipment situation of your two armies, I think it would be more appropriate for us to be in charge of Jiang Fang."

Ouyang Yun took the initiative to ask for the defense of the river, not only because the Xuebing Army has more anti-aircraft weapons and heavy artillery, but also because if the Wu-Fu line is lost, there will definitely be a large-scale attack. Crushed army.The student army has a special status. If they were to do the recruitment work, they would definitely be criticized by others. The 87th Division is a direct descendant of the Central Army, so it would be much easier for them to speak out.In this way, many combatants can be added to the 87th Division, which is also a good thing for the defense of the Chengxi Line.

Wang Jingjiu is an old soldier, so he will naturally understand such a simple truth. He glanced at Ouyang Yun in surprise, and said, "I accept this suggestion, but it's another unfeeling request."

"please say."

"Can you lend me an armored unit..." Before he finished speaking, Wang Jingjiu blushed.

Liu Kui and the others had endured him for a long time. At this moment, several people could no longer hold back and shouted: "Mr. Wang, you have a good plan! Why? Just because you are the Central Army?"

Ouyang Yun looked at Wang Jingjiu with a slight smile on his face.Waving his hand to stop his subordinates from clamoring, he said: "It's not impossible, but our air defense force mainly relies on armored forces, so I can only lend you one regiment. Teacher Wang, I need an IOU—this You can command them during team battles, but once the battle is over, I mean, if the Chengxi line is lost or you receive an order to retreat, then you must hand them over to us. How?"

"Commander, no!" Ouyang Yun didn't finish his sentence, and the high-ranking cadres of the apprentice army, including Li Hanhun, shouted.Their worry is, who knows whether Wang Jingjiu will use it as cannon fodder?In that case, wouldn't it be a free gift for the Japanese?

But Ouyang Yun didn't accept their kind reminder. He waved his hand and said, "That's it. Mr. Wang, let's do the handover. We still have to file with the military committee."

"Okay! Thank you very much!" The so-called borrowing soldiers, Wang Jingjiu actually just said casually with the idea of ​​trying it out, but he didn't expect that Ouyang Yun really agreed. Can't help but be happy.

Thus, during the Anti-Japanese War, the first incident of borrowing troops occurred.
