Chapter 613 Bloody Battle ([-])

Any one of the several main attacking divisions of the Japanese army has at least one regiment of heavy artillery.This was rare in the previous two Great Wall Wars of Resistance. It can be seen from this that the Japanese army base camp was determined to quickly capture Nanjing.Although the fortifications of the defenders were complete, they played a huge role in the battle on the first day, largely resisting the damage of Japanese artillery.However, as time goes by, sooner or later these fortifications will be smashed and destroyed.

The reason why Ouyang Yun stayed in Nanjing willingly was to evacuate the people as much as possible.Of course, as the capital of China, Nanjing has too many people. According to the current speed, there is not a week that cannot be completed.A week, can the defenders last a week?If the Japanese army had no artillery, Zhu Zaiting believed that this goal could be achieved.But the problem now is that the Japanese army not only has artillery, but also has absolute air supremacy.

It's no secret that the cadet army has strong artillery and tank corps.But Ouyang Yun didn't bring out the artillery on the first day, but he was jealous of the Japanese aviation.

Facing Zhu Zaiting's questioning, Ouyang Yun replied: "The artillery will definitely go to the battlefield, but not now. Before the Japanese air force is deployed, I will not dispatch the artillery. It's not because I can't afford to lose the artillery, but because our army's There are not many shells. Before the critical moment, you can only rely on yourself."

The Xuebing army went north to Jiangsu, bringing a total of five base shells.This is also the maximum number that the logistics troops can carry. I expected to be able to replenish it after arriving in Nanjing, but I did not expect that the number of heavy artillery of the Central Army is limited, and the stock of 150mm shells is scarce.As a result, Ouyang Yun had no choice but to hide the artillery in the hope that it would be effective at critical moments.

Hearing Ouyang Yun's explanation, Zhu Zaiting's expression changed immediately.He was about to fight for it, but he heard Ouyang Yun say to Xie Chang'an: "Turn on the construction work at night. Whether we can persevere to the end depends on our preparations. More sweat means less bloodshed! Remember!"

"The Death Squad fought very well in the battle on the city wall. The soldiers who died in the battle must hand in the list as soon as possible. Whether it is a student soldier or a Sichuan soldier, all of them will be paid by our student army. The little devil thinks very highly of himself. They The acceptable battle loss ratio should be one to three, so after this battle, they will no longer consider suppressing from the city wall, but they must be on guard against other people who jump over the wall and use gas bombs or something."

"The Japanese army is far superior to me. For the sake of the people of Nanjing, I hope that you will not hesitate to sacrifice and stick to it. It only takes five days, and after five days, we will be able to conduct a mobile retreat."

"Yes," Xie Changan nodded repeatedly.

Looking at Ouyang Yun's youthful face, Zhu Zaiting was a little moved.The Sichuan army is poor, even if it intends to issue pensions to the dead soldiers, it is extremely limited.Count on the central government?Then I don't know what year and month I will have to wait.

What Ouyang Yun is most afraid of now is the Japanese aviation. However, the more he is afraid, the more ravaged the Japanese aviation will be.He had just come out of the joint headquarters of the [-]th Brigade and the Sichuan Army, and was about to go to Qian Guangming's place. The sound of the engine of a fighter plane came from the sky, and a dozen black spots emerged from the faint clouds in the east.After fighting for more than two hours, the Japanese aviation finally appeared on the battlefield.

At Guanghuamen at this moment, the battle is still going on.The Japanese army's Chilo, which was destroyed in the doorway, has now become the biggest obstacle to the Japanese army's offensive. In order to clear the tank, the Japanese army continued to attack like a tide. The counterattack was repulsed.At this moment, the Japanese army should be at their wit's end, ready to use fighter planes to suppress the tanks of the Xuebing army.The existence of the Xuebing army tanks is equal to the addition of several fixed fortresses, which not only directly threatened the Japanese tanks, but also put psychological pressure on the Japanese infantry.Just imagine, after finally rushing out of the dark doorway after paying huge casualties, you will immediately face several black hole muzzles. As long as you are not completely blinded by Bushido, you should feel terrified, right?
For now, there are only two arms that the Japanese army can pose a threat to the Jiguang tank, one is the heavy artillery force, and the other is the aviation force.

Ouyang Yun especially emphasized the concealment of tank troops.Because the Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese side would abandon Nanjing directly, it was not until one day after the main force of the national army completely abandoned their positions that the Japanese army on the outskirts of Nanjing detected this enemy situation.And when their army pressed down on the border and surrounded Nanjing from three directions, Ouyang Yun had already organized troops to repair the tank's defenses overnight.

According to the pre-war deployment, once the Japanese aviation unit joins the battlefield, all exposed tanks will immediately return to the concealed fortifications.In this process, the infantry in each defensive segment will bear all the attack pressure.Undoubtedly, this will be the best time for the Japanese army to form a breakthrough.

Just when the dozen or so black spots on the sky turned into a dozen big birds, the rumble of cannons rang out again in the direction of Guanghuamen, Zhonghuamen, Jiangdongmen, and Tongjimen.Amid the deafening explosions, the fortifications built by the Xuebing Army and the Sichuan Army, including the left behind troops of the Central Army, fell into the artillery fire in sections. From time to time, there were one or two screams in the burst of flames.That means that another fortification was destroyed by artillery fire, and the Chinese soldiers inside were mercilessly killed.

When the cannon sounded, Liu Kui and others immediately drove Ouyang Yun and the soldiers of the guard regiment into the nearest air-raid shelter.There are many such air-raid shelters in Nanjing, and many of them have been opened up as hiding places for artillery and tank troops.The place close to the defense section was set up to sit in a soldier cave.

After the rumbling gunfire, the Japanese army attacked again.This time, because there were fighter planes in the sky to help clear the defenders' tanks, the Japanese attack was particularly ferocious.Take Guanghuamen as an example, Ryosuke Yoshizuki dispatched a large group of more than a thousand devils this time.

Taking advantage of the shelling just now, the Japanese army finally dragged the scrapped tank out of the doorway.But this time, it was still a Quiro that fought in the front, and three armored vehicles followed.

The tank units of the Japanese army suffered a near-destructive blow in North China, and their earlier armored vehicle models were once eliminated by the Japanese military.Of course, I don't know which Japanese army first applied it to the Nanjing battlefield, and it turned out to play a key role.So in the ensuing battles, this series of armored vehicles was reactivated, such as the Ninth Division, which was equipped with a full brigade of armored vehicles this time.

As soon as the Japanese Chilo tank entered the sight of the defenders, Fan Neng, the company commander of the Sichuan Army, instinctively organized a death squad, preparing to blow it up with cluster grenades.Fan Neng did this by drawing on the experience of the Chinese defenders in the Battle of Songhu.Of course, that is without anti-tank weapons.

Yang Chengjun, the company commander of the cadet army, had no experience in this field. Seeing him so strange, he ran over and asked, "Company Commander Fan? What are you doing? Little devils can't rush over here. You want to counterattack by organizing a death squad so soon. ?”

Yang Chengjun said this because his company was equipped with forty anti-tank grenades.And the task they received before the war was to hold their ground, so this misunderstanding occurred.

Fan Neng also misunderstood his words. He had a loud voice, and immediately shouted: "Hammer! I'm going to deal with those turtle shells. If we don't blow them up, how can we snipe the devils behind—" After saying this, he turned to the death squads and said: "Brothers, don't worry, wait for the dog to get closer before going up. Everyone else listen carefully and prepare for cover fire."

At this moment, the Japanese army's Chilo had stopped and started firing, and the direction facing the gun barrel was the fortification directly ahead.

Yang Chengjun finally understood what he was thinking, and sighed secretly in his heart: The Sichuan army is so pitiful, it doesn't even have a decent anti-tank weapon. On the other hand, we have eliminated even anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns.This can't be said clearly, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.He patted Fan Neng on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's okay, these turtle shells will be handed over to us."

"Huh?" Fan Neng responded, turned around and looked towards the position of the Xuebing Army, but didn't see any weapons that could deal with the turtle's shell. He was puzzled and asked, "Do you have a better way?"

"We have anti-tank grenades!"

"Anti-tank grenade? Grenade?"

"It's a grenade, specially designed to blow up tanks!"

"A grenade for bombing tanks? Isn't it just a cluster grenade?!"

"No, just wait and see!"

Fan Neng thought about it and agreed.

As the Quiro got closer and closer to the position, the armored vehicles behind also dispersed.And the Japanese army behind began to spread out and charge on both sides, and the battle started.

The four Maxims were the first to roar on the defensive position, and the four Maxims were all placed in four earthen bunkers built with bags of cement. This roar immediately hit a group of devils, and at the same time attracted the Quirrell also had the firepower of three armored vehicles.A 37mm cannon was installed on the armored vehicle, and one Chilo and three armored vehicles fired at the same time. Amidst the rumbling sound of the explosion, the four earth fortresses were immediately enveloped in a haze of fireworks.

The fortifications of the Xuebing Army were very solid, especially the four earthen fortresses.Although the gunners on the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles shot very accurately, they failed to achieve a single blow.On the contrary, after their firepower was attracted, Yang Chengjun waved his hand, and a dozen anti-tank grenades flew out.

Seeing those round black lumps smaller than a bowl smashing towards the four devil chariots, even though he knew that the probe was more dangerous, Fan Neng couldn't help but straighten his neck and stare at them intently.Those black bumps are the so-called anti-tank grenades, right?But with such a small thing, can it really blow up those turtle shells?Fan Neng expressed serious doubts.
