Chapter 621 Bloody Battle (24)
The sun has already emerged in the east, and in the rays of the sun, layers of clouds are disappearing quickly, it seems that I can't bear to witness this purgatory on earth.

One tank after another was like a scythe from hell, roaring and crushing the little devil. Wherever they went, there was a mess of chickens and dogs jumping around.It's not that the little devils are afraid of death. In fact, if they are not equipped with cluster grenades and explosive kits, even if they have the determination to die, they can only become a puddle of flesh and blood in vain.

Jing Shuxuan originally went to assemble the troops excitedly, hoping to wash away the former hatred, but when he assembled the troops and came to report to Yoshizu Ryosuke, he saw the imperial army routed like a tide.His face was pale, and his fighting spirit turned into deep fear in an instant.

"The Chinese people actually ambushed so many tanks? Could it be that Ouyang Yun had spotted our army's intentions early on? This kind of tank, only the Type 99 can barely deal with it? Use 'Qiluo' and the bean chariot to carry it If so... It's a pity that there is only one regiment of Type 99 tanks, and all of them have been killed. General, let the artillery attack!" Suddenly, Jing Shuxuan's face was flushed as if he had been spat with chicken blood, and his eyes were burning: "Fifty or so new tanks, plus a brigade of Chinese people, general, this is a good deal. As long as this Chinese army is destroyed, Nanjing City will be ours!"

Yoshizuru Ryosuke gritted his teeth and remained silent, but a battle between heaven and man was going on in his heart.Is it really necessary to carry out indiscriminate bombardment?However, there are still two brigades of the imperial army on the battlefield.

The one-sided massacre on the battlefield continued.From the perspective of fighting will alone, after the initial chaos, the fighting spirit shown by the Japanese army would make most Chinese troops feel ashamed.However, in this kind of battle where the gap in strength is too large, willpower alone is obviously not enough.From time to time, there were devils holding machine guns and pointing at the oncoming "Jiguang", and waiting for them without exception was a steel wall with sparks splashing and approaching quickly.

Ryosuke Yoshizuki's calf couldn't help trembling—is this the invincible imperial army?He thought painfully, tangled in his heart, not daring to make a decision lightly.

The sound of "crack" horseshoes came, and the next moment, Nakagawa Hiroshi jumped off the horse and said to Yoshitake Ryosuke: "Your Excellency, the head of the Tani Hisao division and the Suematsu Shigeru division commander all agreed, and they each sent a The brigade will arrive here in half an hour at most."

Hiroshi Nakagawa was ordered by Ryosuke Yoshibata to contact Hisao Tani and Shigeru Suematsu. The latter's idea was that once a breakthrough was made at Guanghuamen, there would be a brigade each from the 6th Division and 114th Division, plus The 9th Division, after entering from Guanghuamen, divided into three groups to cooperate with the Japanese troops staying at Zhonghuamen, Jiangdongmen, and Tongjimen respectively, attacking back and forth, in order to completely annihilate the defenders in Nanjing.

Man is not as good as God, and the plan that seemed to be foolproof by Yoshizuka Ryosuke has now turned into this.It's nothing more than failing to form a breakthrough in one fell swoop, but was rushed out by a tank of the Xuebing Army, forming a massacre.

The 9th Division is one of the few troops transferred from the Kwantung Army in the Shanghai dispatched army.The original plan of the Japanese base camp was originally considering that there were more recruits in the 9th Division, so that they could increase their battlefield experience.And precisely because of the special situation of the 9th Division, whether it be Hisao Tani or Shigeru Suematsu, they all look down on Ryosuke Yoshizuru, thinking that he has completely embarrassed the imperial army.When they thought about it, the division commander of the second strongest army in the world couldn't even defeat a yellow-haired boy, so they just had to cut open his stomach.

Among the Shanghai Dispatch Army, there are not a few senior Japanese commanders who have this idea.Among them, Hisao Tani showed the most obvious performance. He once satirized Yoshizuki Ryosuke at a meeting at the division head level.

It is also for this reason that before sending Hiroshi Nakagawa to contact the 6th Division and the 114th Division, Yoshitake Ryosuke was a little worried that Hisao Tani and Moji Suematsu would not cooperate because they despised him.For this reason, he even prepared the 9th Division to fight alone.

Now, Hiroshi Nakagawa brought good news, and he should be very happy, but the complicated and confusing situation on the battlefield made this good news a burden for him instead.It is conceivable that if he is repeatedly defeated by Ouyang Yun, not to mention being ridiculed wantonly by Gu Shoufu and others, the most serious consequence is that he may even be sent to a military court .

The 6th Division and the first part of the 114th Division have already set off, and they will arrive here in half an hour. If they don't make a choice in time, then what they see will be a big joke--well, just Take a gamble!

Ryosuke Yoshizuki frowned and thought hard. A few minutes later, he finally made a difficult decision: "Order Akiyama Yoshihito to retreat quickly, and order the heavy artillery unit to conduct indiscriminate bombardment. Major General Jing Shu, get ready to attack ! Once the tanks of the Chinese are destroyed, launch an attack immediately! Remember, we only have this chance—if we fail to break into Nanjing, I don’t need to talk about the consequences!”

"Hayi!" Jing Shuxuanshi, Nakagawa Hiroshi and other devil officers responded loudly, and then quickly dispersed to convey the order.

On the ruins of the Guanghuamen section of the city wall, Ouyang Yun gradually calmed down after experiencing the excitement at the beginning.He looked at the "Jiguang" advancing on the battlefield and the devils who were making ridiculous resistance, then looked at the high-spirited students and Sichuan soldiers, and looked at the large Japanese army assembled in the distance with a telescope. He didn't know why. There was a bad feeling in my heart.

"Zhe Liang!"

"commander?"

"Contact Qian Guangming quickly and tell him to tighten up the team and not go too far away from the city wall. Kuangcheng, take your men down and tell Zhu Zaiting and Xie Chang'an to bring the team back. Once they hear the sound of artillery fire, retreat immediately !"

"Commander?" Liu Zheliang and Kuang Cheng looked at him puzzled.

On the battlefield at this time, the Xue Bing Army had an overwhelming advantage, and it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursue to expand the results of the battle, but Ouyang Yun actually ordered them to prepare to retreat. This order was really unbelievable.

Kuang Cheng was the company commander of the seventh company of the security regiment, and he was also an old man beside Ouyang Yun.Because of this relationship, he and Liu Zheliang dared to raise their own questions.

"The large Japanese army in the distance has not moved, so we must be prepared for Ryosuke Yoshizuka's desperate move!" Ouyang Yun expressed his worry: "You little devil has heavy artillery! After all, our number is much smaller than the opponent's, and the occasional war of attrition It is possible to fight, but it must be done in moderation. Our current task is to stick to Nanjing City, cover the main force and let the people retreat, not to kill devils—"

"Understood!"

Facts have proved that Ouyang Yun is not unfounded.He knows the Japanese too well to know that anything is possible in this so-called Yamato nation.Just when General Liu Zheliang talked to Qian Guangming and conveyed Ouyang Yunxin's order, and when Kuangcheng was more than 200 meters away from the battlefield, the devils of the Qiushan Yiyun Brigade first began to flee from the rear, and then , Their actions affected the devils on the entire battlefield - in an instant, all the devils turned around and ran wildly, as if they were followed by a swarm of wasps.

Seeing this scene, Ouyang Yun immediately shouted loudly: "Bustleman, hurry up, blow the retreat number!"

"Duddu..." The retreat horn blew, and almost at the same time, the sound of "Kongkong" firing sounded in the distance. The next moment, the sound of "Woo..." shells piercing the sky and everywhere, Ouyang Yun was about to personally Rushing down to command the troops to retreat, Chen Deru gave an order, and several soldiers from the guard regiment picked him up and ran away.Ouyang Yun yelled: "Chen Heizi, let me down, this is not the target of the Japanese army..."

For Liu Kui, Ouyang Yun asked him to inform Qian Guangming to attack. Luckily, he boarded a tank himself.So now the highest officer of the guard group is still Chen Deru.This time, Chen Deru was still unmoved, he watched everyone quickly remove the ruins, and then looked towards the battlefield.When there was an explosion, he said sadly: "Tuan Zuo, you must survive!" He was the last one to walk down the ruins.

Ouyang Yun was extremely reluctant and was surrounded by Qian Guangming's headquarters. At this time, the sound of cannons outside was already rumbling.A wing of heavy artillery began to shell continuously, and its scale can be imagined.Ouyang Yun was startled by the explosions again and again, the pain and worry were not humane.He gritted his teeth and sat on Qian Guangming's seat, thinking to himself: "I am the commander of the Nanjing Garrison. I am not only responsible for the brothers in the Xuebing Army, but also responsible for the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army. Calm down!" A few minutes later, he picked up the phone decisively and dialed the headquarters.

"I'm Li Hanhun, who are you?"

Li Hanhun's slightly hoarse voice came from the microphone.

"It's me, Ouyang Yun. Hurry up and send me a brigade, hurry up. Also, let the self-propelled artillery brigade enter the third position as soon as possible!"

"I know!" Li Hanhun had already learned about the situation of Guanghuamen before, and now he heard the sound of the cannon, he was very nervous, and asked: "Commander, have our people withdrawn?"

Ouyang Yun said sadly, "Not yet."

"Ah! I'll convey it immediately!" After Li Hanhun finished speaking, he began to issue orders one after another.

Ouyang Yun waited for him to issue the order, and asked, "Lao Li, how are the other directions going?"

"The Japanese army has launched a continuous attack since the morning, and now the two sides are in a stalemate. By the way, intelligence came from Jiangbei, and a small group of Japanese troops was found in the southeast of Pukou. According to the latest intelligence analysis, it is very likely that it is Ushishima Sadao. 18th Division."

"Little devil, this is trying to block our only way of retreat! It seems that the blasting of Guanghuamen is not a single action! Lao Li, which army is staying in Pukou now, you see the situation, if not, let Qian Bin and the others hurry up and occupy the opposite side The wharf—Pukou must not be lost!”

"I understand. I have already ordered Qian Bin and his group to cross the river. Commander, please pay attention to safety."

"I know it. Old Li, keep in touch with He Zhengjiang and the others at all times. If I can't defend here, I will immediately implement the second battle plan!"

"understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Yun stood up and strode towards the door.Ever since he learned that the Japanese army had appeared in the southeast of Pukou, he immediately realized that the intensity of the Japanese army's attack this time would be unprecedented, and it was very likely that they would not stop until they achieved their goal. Battle plan.
