Chapter 587 Defending Nanjing (Twenty)
The combat preparation time obtained by the 604 regiment was still too short. Of the expected three trenches, only the first and second trenches fully met the operational requirements of the student army, and the third trench was only half completed.Fortunately, the artillery units of Amaya Detachment and Kunisaki's detachment have been destroyed, and there are not many armored units left.When the Japanese army could be seen visually, Wang Changyun believed that with the sharp weapons in their hands, it was possible to completely wipe out the Japanese army, let alone hold their positions.Of course, there is also a prerequisite for this step to be achieved, that is, these devils will not run away.

"Tuan Zuo, the devil is only one mile away from us!" Xiao Min, the commander of the reconnaissance company in charge of reconnaissance of the enemy, ran to report to Wang Changyun panting.

Wang Changyun nodded, picked up the phone, and connected to Wang Fei, the commander of the first battalion.

"I'm Wang Changyun, the little devil is here. Wang Fei, my request to your battalion is to stick to it for three hours. Do you have confidence?"

Wang Fei was one of the few relatively normal officers in the 604 regiment, and upon hearing this, he replied calmly: "I promise to complete the mission."

"It's not a guarantee, but it must be done. Within three hours, I will not support you every single soldier!"

"Yes!"

After the combat mission was issued, Wang Changyun sat down in the headquarters and began to wipe and maintain his guns.

Xiao Min followed in, and said anxiously: "Tuan, do you really want the first battalion to fight for three hours? The little devils have more than 3000 people, and there are four tanks and six armored vehicles."

"What? Are you worried that the first battalion won't be able to carry it?"

Xiao Min scratched his head and said, "That's not true. A squad has four machine guns and one mortar. This kind of firepower, let alone more than 3000 devils, is [-]. As long as there are enough bullets, I believe the first battalion can handle it. I'm not willing to let Yiying eat alone..."

Wang Changyun laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to hit his butt hard, and said: "Don't worry, there will be battles, the little devil still has an 18th division, that's more than 2 horses, hehe, if the commander expected Not bad, the 18th Division will definitely storm Xiaqiao. At that time, it will not be a question of whether we will fight, but will we be able to withstand it? There are more than 2 people, the ball!"

The sudden artillery attack launched by the Xuebing Army was too violent. In just one round of shelling, almost one-third of the more than [-] people in the Kunizaki Detachment were killed. About five hundred people were lost.Of course, these blows to the Japanese army can still be tolerated. What almost killed the Kunisaki Detachment was that Kunisaki Akira died in the first wave of artillery attack.If it weren't for Amaya Naojiro still having a little prestige in the minds of the officers and soldiers of the Kunisaki Detachment, the team would have collapsed.

According to Ouyang Yun's order, the two pursuing regiments did not follow very closely, so the Japanese army was able to integrate their troops while fleeing. Therefore, this group of Japanese troops seemed less and less like fleeing, and more like retreating in an orderly manner.As a result of this, the Japanese army took away almost all the wounded, which naturally increased the burden on the Japanese army.

Turning his attention to the main forces of the 60th and [-]th Divisions, Ouyang Yun was directing the reporters accompanying the newspaper to take pictures of Li Hanhun. On the officer's body, there was a look of high spirits.

Ouyang Yun was out of business again, and this time the inspiration also came from the Japanese military telegram that Ge Yunfei cracked.It was from this telegram sent by Amaya Naojiro to the headquarters of the dispatched army that Ouyang Yun learned that the previous artillery attack actually killed Kunisaki Akira, the detachment leader of the Kunisaki Detachment.Kunisaki Todo is a major general, and he is also the first Japanese general-level figure killed by the Chinese since the Nanjing Battle began!It's rare, but you have to make good use of it.Ever since, there was the above scene - taking a photo of the great hero Li Hanhun stepping on the corpse of the Japanese major general, which can not only boost morale, but also promote the achievements of the Xuebing army - a great thing that kills two birds with one stone. !

Almost at the same time, when Ouyang Yun was inexplicably excited about the death of Kunizaki Deng, in Shanghai, in the headquarters of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army, Matsui Iwane was berating a group of staff officers for this incident.Undoubtedly, the death of a general at the level of brigade commander will definitely have a negative impact on the old devil.What made him unacceptable was that it was the student army of the Third Fleet who had severely defeated the Third Fleet in the Jiangyin Fortress a few days ago.

"Bage! Why can't we grasp the marching route of the student army? We have reconnaissance planes, why?"

"Bage! When formulating the marching route, didn't you consider the Chinese army that you may encounter along the way? The army of apprentices will be the biggest obstacle to the advance of the imperial army. I have emphasized this point many times. attention to..."

The original plan of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters was to capture Nanjing within half a month, and then use Nanjing as the center to advance directly to the inland of China. Among them, the most important route is to launch simultaneous attacks on Fujian and Guangdong provinces from Taiwan and Zhejiang. The attack must kill the student army in the bud.However, according to the current situation, it may be possible to occupy Nanjing within half a month, but it is a bit weak to carry out the next step.Because, although the front line is advancing rapidly, the casualties of the troops are also huge. Not to mention other aspects, but in the Jiangnan area, the main Guoqi Detachment and Tiangu Detachment have been disabled, and the 18th Division is it right? It is still unknown whether the student army can be defeated.

Iwane Matsui was venting his fury in Shanghai. To the northwest of Xiaxiu Bridge on the outskirts of Zhenjiang, the mixed troops of the Tiangu and Guoqi Detachments also joined the 604th Regiment of the Xuebing Army.

Because there are still two regiments of student troops behind, so when it was discovered that Shimohide Bridge was indeed occupied, Naojiro Amaya did not dare to order all the troops to attack, but ordered the 41st Regiment of the Kunisaki Detachment to maintain a comparatively strong establishment The complete first brigade launched a tentative attack on the position of the 604 regiment with the cooperation of four tanks.

In the first trench of the 604 Regiment's position, Wang Fei, who was fully camouflaged, put down his binoculars, grabbed the Browning pistol and swung it fiercely: "Hit!" He pulled the trigger and fired the first shot.

"Papa!"

The Japanese attacking troops consisted of only one tank and half a squadron of devils. As soon as the gunshots fired from the side of the student army, except for the [-] or so devils who were knocked down, the other little devils immediately retreated like a tide.

"Feint attack!" Wang Fei put down the gun in resentment, and the whole person fell down, and picked up the binoculars again.

The first battalion is responsible for the first round of defensive tasks is the company.Yilian Chang Yu Xiaoshan also put down his gun at this time, and shouted to the surroundings: "Okay, stop, you little devil is probing." When the company commander Gu Xinggu heard the sudden gunshots suddenly become thin and loud, he couldn't help laughing, and said to the company commander Zhang Jian beside him: "Ha, the little devil must be feinting, hehe, this guy Yu Xiaoshan must be very disappointed Right. Well, it seems that we won't be able to win two consecutive battles, and this battle will definitely not be fierce."

Zhang Jian smiled and didn't speak, but just when Gu Shenggu felt good about himself, suddenly, there was a "bang bang" sound in the air, followed by the sound of mortar shells tearing through the air. He immediately shouted: "Ball, this time it's a real attack, hey, grandma, this kid Yu Xiaoshan has made a lot of money this time."

As mentioned before, Wang Fei is one of the few relatively normal officers in the 604 regiment. The reason why he said this is because under the influence of Wang Changyun, almost all the middle and low-level officers of the 604 regiment are war mad. He is a madman who never spares his life for pleasure on the battlefield.

As Gu Shenggu expected, when the little devil started firing grenades, Yu Xiaoshan, the company commander, blushed with excitement, waved his pistol and shouted: "Brothers, this time it's serious. Cheer me up—" "Boom!" Before he finished speaking, a grenade hit the mound in front of him by accident, and then stirred up a large swath of soil, almost burying him alive , and his morale boosting words were naturally interrupted.

With the help of the orderly, he got out of the mud in disgrace, and the first thing he did when he came out was to yell: "Throw away your mother! How dare you slander me! Brothers, listen to me, bring the devil closer and fight again!" !"

The guard reminded: "The battalion commander is in command."

"Oh!" Yu Xiaoshan looked at Wang Fei who was not far away, but saw him smile at himself, and then said: "You command, I will go to the headquarters immediately."

"Okay!" Yu Xiaoshan grinned, then kicked the guard and said, "Stinky boy, don't remind me earlier." Then, he poked his head slightly, and found that the part of the devils who rushed the fastest was no longer close enough to his defense line It was 150 meters away, and the tank in the front had already started firing. He was taken aback, and immediately shouted to the left: "Pang Jiang, hurry up, destroy that tank!" Then he looked behind him and cursed: "He Damn, where are our mortars?!"

Fatty Jiang is the leader of the anti-tank team. There are [-] people in their team, equipped with five anti-tank guns and one anti-tank gun.Hearing this, he muttered: "I've already started fighting, and when you give the order, all the little devil's tanks will rush up."

Yu Xiaoshan glanced over there, and immediately knew that what he said just now was redundant.Because along that slope, the anti-aircraft artillery has been pushed up. At this time, three soldiers are loading the shells with their hands and feet.

In this round of attack by the Japanese army, it was the squadron that had just pretended to attack. The difference was that behind the devils in this squadron, there was a whole squadron of mortars raging one after another. Obviously, after losing the pure artillery unit , Naojiro Amaya can only rely on these mortars to provide fire support to the attacking troops.
