Chapter 586 Defending Nanjing ([-])
The artillery that moves with the 60th Division includes all the artillery units of the 60rd Division and the 150th Division, adding up to one and a half brigades. Among them, 18mm heavy artillery accounted for 120 pieces, while 105mm and 36mm guns each had 150 doors, including self-propelled ones.Counting the Fifth Division, there are more than [-] cannons in total. With so many cannons roaring together, the effect of their creation can be called earth-shattering.

Before that, because Li Hanhun hid the artillery unit of the fifth division so well, the Japanese army thought that there was no artillery on the opposite side.Therefore, when launching an attack on Li Ling, Kunizaki did not hesitate to let all the artillery participate in the battle, thus completely exposing its artillery positions.Although they were later alerted by the reconnaissance plane and transferred, they failed to escape the eagle-like eyes of the soldiers of the Spike Squad.

Such a sudden and violent artillery fire immediately completely knocked out the little devil who was still fighting high.Many devils were completely deaf because they had no sense of prevention. Although they survived the artillery fire, their ears were deafened.

Kunizaki’s premature death was fatal to the Japanese army. Although his adjutants Yasuda Kazu and Saito Haruyoshi were not killed by artillery fire because of their relationship on the front line, the command staff accompanied Kunizaki to see Amaterasu But it includes all the staff officers and the communication team.Just like Amaya Naojiro's reaction, as soon as the cannon rang, Yasuda Kazu and Saito Haruyoshi immediately picked up the phone and asked for the headquarters, but there was a blind voice waiting for them.

At this time, they didn't know that Deng Kunisaki was dead. Faced with the inquiries from the middle and low-level officers and soldiers on the front line: "Major, what should we do now?" The two subconsciously issued an order to stick to it, and encouraged their subordinates to say: "Don't be afraid, The 18th Division is not far away from us, and when their reinforcements come up, it will be the end of the Chinese people!"

This round of shelling lasted a full quarter of an hour. Under the command of You Hongjun, commander of the Artillery Brigade of the First Academy of Xue, the artillery unit was divided into two positions, and all the Japanese positions were plowed with artillery fire.A quarter of an hour later, the loud charge horn blew, and the armored troops of the Xuebing Army, which the Japanese army feared and envied the most, drove out of the grove where they were hiding, tearing open the road leading to the Xiushui River with almost no effort. the way.

At that time, Amaya Naojiro had already learned the news of Kunizaki's death in battle from Yasudaichi.This little devil was also decisive, and immediately took over the command of the Kunisaki Detachment, and ordered all the troops of the Kunisaki Detachment to abandon their current positions and move closer to the small village where the Tiangu Detachment lived, in an attempt to use the houses in the village to defend to the death.At this time, Amaya Naojiro thought that the Xuebing Army would definitely take advantage of the situation to launch a general attack and eat himself up in one bite.

However, after half an hour passed, he was puzzled, because the expected general attack did not start. On the contrary, after part of the student army tore through the line of defense, they went behind him.At the entrance of the village, Yasuda looked into the distance with a binoculars, and after watching the mighty tanks and armored vehicles of the Xuebing Army go away, he said to Tiangu: "General, do the Chinese people want to surround our army? It should be going to Xiushui River, right?"

Tiangu was looking at the map at this time, when he heard Yasudaichi's words, he suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "No! Quickly, gather the team and go to Xiushui Bridge."

Yasuda glanced at the map, and immediately understood the meaning of his words, his complexion changed, and he immediately put his legs together and said "Hai", and then ran away.

Tiangu turned to his communication squad leader, Second Lieutenant Jiutian Shimoyoshi, and said: "Hurry up and send electricity to the headquarters. Our army is attacked by the superior student army. The Chinese artillery force is huge, and we request the uninterrupted support of the aviation force. In addition, I hope the 18th Division If the regiment can approach the Xiushui Bridge to meet our army, our army has already been surrounded."

The Xuebing Army was located in the command post below Li Ling. After receiving the feedback from the Spike Squad, Li Hanhun was very happy and said to Ouyang Yun: "Commander, the shelling just now was very fruitful. The Japanese artillery unit was completely defeated. , the armored troops also lost a lot, and Squadron Captain Xiao Yi suggested that our army beat the dogs in the water!"

Ouyang Yun said: "Reservoir dogs are definitely going to be fought, but it's not the time yet. Let's wait and see how the Japanese army reacts."

A few minutes later, Ge Yunfei stood up excitedly and said: "Report to the commander, the Spike team ahead has called, and the Japanese army has begun to retreat towards Xiaxiu Bridge."

A smile appeared on Ouyang Yun's face, and he exchanged a glance with Li Hanhun, and said, "It seems that Akira Kunisaki and Amaya Naojiro are not too stupid, they have already seen our 'intent'. Alright, now I order, According to the original battle plan, the whole army will attack!"

The telegraph and the telephone rang, and the staff officers and telegraph operators began to send electricity or make phone calls to the units in charge according to the division of labor. Soon, the two regiments that were originally scheduled and selected from the Fifth Division began to follow the Japanese army. After lurking for a period of time, the other troops began to run towards Xiushui River along the marching route of the previous armored troops.

To the west of Xiaxiu Bridge, Wang Changyun was shirtless and sweating profusely with the soldiers digging fortifications.Next to him, Ding Banxue, the group leader, took his clothes and said guiltily: "Old Ding, just let me do it for a while! I'm not very good at fighting, but it's okay to dig in the mud. You You will have to command the battle later, don't get too tired."

Wang Changyun is tall and thick, and has a loud voice. While struggling to send a shovel of soil to the top of the trench, he said: "Qiu, what's so tiring digging the soil for a while? You don't know. I'm busy with farming in my hometown." At that time, he could work for three days and three nights without closing his eyes."

Wang Changyun's words are always false, and Ding's school is not serious. He said with a smile: "I can see that the commander has always advocated the unity of officers and soldiers. However, few of you officials from Fujian and Guangdong accepted it as quickly as you. Yes Already, has there been any news from the headquarters?"

"That's right! Grandma, if the little devil doesn't leave here, we will suffer a lot. Let's not say that we didn't win the battle, and we sweated so much for nothing," he didn't know which root he touched. Nervous, he threw the engineer shovel away, grabbed the edge of the trench with both hands, stepped up with his legs, and said, "No, I have to send a telegram to ask. It's too much to just dig the soil without shooting a gun."

It was such a coincidence that just as Wang Changyun was looking for a telegraph operator, Chief of Staff Tu Dai came with the latest telegram.From far away, he shouted: "Old Wang, good news, the little devil is here!"

I don't know if it was influenced by Wang Changyun. The officers of the 604 regiment, except for the "freak" who ran the school, were all militants. Among them, the chief of staff, Tu Dai, and the regiment leader, Wang Changyun, were the two most prominent. up.

Wang Changyun opened his mouth immediately, and asked with a big smile, "Really?" He wiped his hands on the camouflage uniform, took a closer look at the telegram, and laughed even louder.After signing for the telegram and handing it over to Tu Dai for safekeeping, he yelled at Siye: "Damn it, listen to me, we can finally open our business. Brothers, hurry up—the commander said, this time The success or failure of the battle depends on us. Hehe, I heard that if you fight well, you can get honorable titles or something. Well, what about "hero group, model group" and so on, we also have one, how proud !"

Tu Dai continued: "That's right, there are three regiments with honorable titles in one army, so why can't we have one! Hehe, I hope there are more little devils here."

Ding Banxue just smiled wryly when he heard it, and thought that he was happy, wouldn't people die in war?Did they think it was a holiday?
At this time, Tu Dai should have suddenly remembered, and said to Wang Changyun in a low voice: "Old Wang, I forgot one thing."

"what?"

"The commander of the district army told us to keep our strength, and now we are violating his order!"

Wang Changyun glanced at him and said: "Ball! The little devil has already hit the door, and he still has the strength to keep the ball! The district army chief is confused, don't listen to him."

In terms of platooning and fighting, there are not many in the Fourth Army who can surpass Wang Changyun, and the reason why he stayed in the position of regiment commander for six years is that his mouth is too stinky.Tu Dai didn't expect him to yell so unscrupulously, you know, Ding's running school is still nearby, and in the eyes of the military officers in West Fujian, these so-called political directors and regimental leaders are actually Ouyang Yun's eyeliner .He glanced at Ding Banxue and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Ding Banxue understood his thoughts at a glance, but he just smiled, but didn't say anything.Speaking of which, there are quite a few rectification staff assigned by the Xuebing Army to the Fourth Xue Army, but it seems that he is the only one in the best situation, and the key is that Wang Changyun is the master.It is well known that Xue Sijun was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, but Ouyang Yun did not treat them differently, which eased the conflict between the two parties to a certain extent. Among them, "Old Wang" (Wang Changyun's nickname) Those who waited for the heart were relatively simple, and they were bought off at once (Ou Shounian's words).

The officers and soldiers of the 604 regiment were not good at civil engineering work before they joined the student army.This has something to do with Wang Laohou's method of leading troops and fighting methods, because in the entire Fujian army, the 604th regiment has always been known for fighting tough battles.And Wang Laochu's favorite thing to do on the battlefield is to rush to the front of the team with a gun in hand.Of course, for this reason, he was often injured, but he seemed to be a lucky general, and he only suffered minor injuries every time.It was difficult for Wang Changyun to accept the training of the Xuebing Army that emphasized civil engineering work, and it was precisely because of this that Ouyang Yun became familiar with it.According to his thinking, the key to fighting a war is to dare to rush, the so-called brave man wins in a narrow road.However, after being punished by Ouyang Yun to stay in the training class for two weeks, he received a series of theories, and he suddenly realized that he began to pay attention to the civil engineering training of the team.Therefore, it is also possible to receive such an important task in this battle.

In the distance, it seems that the footsteps of the Japanese army have been heard, but the three fan-shaped trenches centered on Xiaxiu Bridge of the 604th Regiment have not yet been fully excavated.After receiving the exact combat mission, Wang Changyun shouted excitedly, jumped into the trench again, and picked up the engineering shovel to shovel up the soil vigorously.

The battle at Xiaxiu Bridge is destined to be the most critical of the second stage.
