Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 630 Breakthrough ([-])

After single-handedly shooting seven or eight officers of the First Security Division with a thunderbolt, he finally stunned the rest of the officers and soldiers.And once these disorderly troops were brought under control, the order of the entire dock immediately improved.However, at this time, a Japanese aircraft formation composed of four fighter planes flew in from the southeast, and before they swooped down to attack, they threw the fleeing crowd into chaos again.

When Ouyang Yun formulated the retreat plan, he considered that the Japanese army would definitely dispatch fighter planes to intercept them when they were crossing the river, so he deployed all the air defense forces on both banks. When the four fighter planes emerged from the clouds, the air defense Xue Ming, the commander-in-chief of the troops, immediately put everyone on combat readiness. At the same time, he used walkie-talkies to dispatch various anti-aircraft artillery points and shooting points, and organized them into categories, so that every invading enemy aircraft could be taken care of.

The air and counter-air strikes were brutal from the very beginning.The four fighter planes invaded by the Japanese army turned out to be old-fashioned fighter jets. Each fighter plane had only one bomb mounted on the belly of the fuselage, and its main ground strike weapons were four machine guns.

The four fighters obviously knew the air defense positions of the defenders long ago, so after bypassing them, they dived directly towards the troops crossing the river. After dropping the bombs in the belly, they charged repeatedly and fired with machine guns.

The Japanese army's unusual attack method was not very lethal, but it had a strong impact on people's psychological endurance.The officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division were fine. Although they were the target of the Japanese plane, under Wu Keren's calm command, the troops showed no signs of defeat.However, for the fleeing crowd and the remaining officers and soldiers of the [-]st Security Division who had just been incorporated by Shan Renxiong, this level of attack was enough to throw them into chaos again.

The chaotic scene on the pier undoubtedly affected the [-]th Division's crossing operation. At this moment, the fleeing crowd ran around like a nest of wasps, rushing the [-]th Division's orderly formation to seven. It was all scattered, even no matter how Wu Keren and the others yelled to get people out of the queue, it still didn't help.

In desperation, Wu Keren had no choice but to suspend the crossing of the river, and asked the soldiers to gather in company and stand by.At the same time, he sent someone to ask Xue Ming: "What did your air defense force do? Why didn't you fire?! If Lao Tzu's troops are dispersed, you are the only one to ask!"

Wu Keren was really in a hurry, but Xue Ming was also in distress.

The little devil is too cunning, his dive speed is extremely fast, and the height of the dive flight is actually below 200 meters. In this way, it is obvious that their shooting accuracy has been increased, but in fact, he dare not let his subordinates shoot casually Yes, because he can't guarantee that if the ballistic height is too low, the shell will fall directly into the crowd.Therefore, he could only let the anti-aircraft machine gun intercept, but for the same reason, the machine gunners did not dare to lower the trajectory too low, which naturally greatly reduced the shooting accuracy.It took about 10 minutes for them to shoot down the first Japanese plane. As a result, the hit Japanese plane directly crashed into the crowd, causing an earth-shattering explosion, at least hundreds of lives were taken away. , Among them, dozens of soldiers from the [-]th Division were included.You know, all the previous attacks of this Japanese plane failed to kill so many people.

In this wave of attack by the Japanese planes, a total of three formations and twenty fighter planes were dispatched. In addition to four fighter planes visiting Xiaguan Wharf, eight fighter planes bombed Nanjing City, and another eight fighter planes visited Jiangpu No. A series of retreat routes, the two tank regiments in the first series became the key bombing targets of the Japanese planes.

The defenders had no air force, and the air defense forces were all concentrated on both sides of the water in Xiaguan.In this way, the defenders in the other two directions will have no power to fight back under the attack of the Japanese plane.

When Ouyang Yun arrived at Guanghuamen, the formation of Japanese planes had already appeared in the southeast.At this moment, on the battlefield of Guanghuamen, it was the Japanese artillery who showed their power.

The Japanese seemed to have forgotten the destruction of the heavy artillery brigade yesterday, and they used large-scale artillery units to carry out frequent shelling again, which naturally aroused the suspicion of Ouyang Yun and others.After discussing with He Zhengjiang and others, he came to the conclusion that the Japanese army must have wanted to lure their own artillery to appear, and then dispatched fighter planes to bomb.

The ruins of Gwanghwamun were fought day and night by both China and Japan. At this moment, at least 2000 Japanese soldiers fell in front of the ruins.And the officers and soldiers of the Third Xue Division who fell on this position also reached an astonishing [-] people.

Knowing that Guanghuamen will definitely be a dead end for a period of time in the future, he is also psychologically prepared for the sacrifice.However, when the statistics of casualties came up, Ouyang Yun was still shocked.In just one day and one night, more than 50.00 people were killed (including the two Sichuan Corps that fought side by side with the Xueqi Brigade here yesterday morning), and more than 30.00 people were injured. The ratio has also reached [-]%. It is said that if the battle damage ratio exceeds [-]%, the unit is crippled. However, for the entire evacuation plan, the Third Xue Division must stick here for at least twelve hours.

The Japanese bombardment at all costs caused great casualties to the Third Xue Division.When the gunfire sounded again from the Japanese army's position, He Zhengjiang felt that the fight could not continue like this, otherwise, even if they could retreat safely, the Third Xue Division would have lost its combat power.

"Commander, we can't continue fighting like this. Are you considering retreating into the city to prepare for street fighting?"

Ouyang Yun just came back from Xiaguan Wharf. He knew the situation there and knew that because of the refugee problem, it would be impossible for the second sequence to cross the river without more than ten hours, so he flatly denied it: "No, it's not the time yet."

He Zhengjiang said sadly: "The focus of the Japanese army's attack is here. With the current rate of casualties, it will take less than twelve hours. After another six hours, I will have no soldiers to fight. Commander, let the 26th Division or the [-]th Division be dispatched." Bring some people over here. The fighting there is not too fierce, and the casualties are not too big."

"I think so too, but if I really do this, what will the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army and Sichuan Army think?"

"But once they fall, they may be surrounded by the Japanese army. At that time, everything will be over."

"No hurry, I have a solution. Let them withdraw as soon as the artillery fire stops. For that kind of simple fortification, the anti-aircraft is okay, but the anti-aircraft will not hit. Next, the little devil's plane should be dispatched."

About a quarter of an hour after Ouyang Yun finished speaking, the Japanese army stopped shelling, and those fighter planes hovering in the southeast of Nanjing City quickly entered the battlefield, focusing on the ruins of Guanghuamen, and carried out heavy bombing.And because the frontline troops retreated in a timely manner, although the position was severely damaged in this bombing, the casualties were not large.

The third school division suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese army suffered even more heavy casualties.

How to say the third division also occupies a high ground, and the weapons in hand are conducive to defense. Therefore, the day and night attack caused the Japanese army to almost lose a brigade.And Ryosuke Yoshizuka's 9th Division, as the main offensive force, has already filled in the strength of three brigades, and one of the brigades has also been disabled.

Such a heavy casualty was unprecedented in the history of the Japanese army. This made Ryosuke Yoshitake worry that even if the 9th Division could be the first to enter Nanjing, his fate would not be much better, right?
However, now that he has come to this point, the following matters are beyond his control. Even if the violent bombardment fails to draw out the artillery of the Xuebing Army, he can only let the fighters bomb and then attack in one fell swoop.What Jizhu Ryosuke hopes most now is that the Xuebing Army can abandon the line of defense and retreat into the city.In this way, as the first Japanese army to attack the city, it may be possible to get a chance to rest under the excuse of too many casualties.At that time, let the 6th Division and other troops be in charge of fighting in the city. The combat power shown by the Xuebing Army at Guanghuamen should also severely damage these troops. In that case, his punishment should be much lower.

I don't know if Amaterasu heard his "pious" prayer. After the plane formation bombed the Guanghuamen area that day, a forward squadron of the 9th Division actually broke through the ruins without any hindrance. It seems that Bingjun really gave up this line of defense.

After the devils of this squadron broke through the defense line of the ruins, they did not dare to rush into the city immediately, but stationed there, and then sent someone to report the situation to Ryosuke Yoshizuka.

Ryosuke Yoshizuki's first reaction when he got the report was that he was overjoyed, and after thinking about it, he hesitated, worried that this might be a trap set by Ouyang Yun.Having dealt with Ouyang Yun and Xue Bingjun many times, and without exception, he was deflated, which made him understand some rules.For example, Ouyang Yun is as cunning as a fox and Xue Bingjun is rebellious and gets stronger when he meets the strong.It can be said that he had placed high hopes in this battle of Guanghuamen from the very beginning, hoping to defeat the Xuebing army in one fell swoop by virtue of this battle, thus rectifying his name.However, no matter whether it was the regular battle in the early stage or the subsequent bombing, they were resolved one by one by the student army with ease. As a result, he had to be extra careful.Although there are fighters to help him today, he originally thought that even if he could successfully take Nanjing City, it would take a lot of hard work.He even estimated the cost, and felt that it was basically impossible to break through without the casualties of the two brigades.Therefore, now that he has won it so easily, it makes him more cautious.

Ryosuke Yoshizuru wanted to act cautiously, but he didn't have the final say here.Seeing that the vanguard of the 9th Division had already broken into Nanjing City, the Japanese troops in the other divisions were impatient, especially those who were captains and squadron leaders. Get a share of this brilliant feat.And their brigade head and detachment leader, under the strong request of their subordinates, had to agree in order to maintain the high morale.Of course, out of careful consideration and the overall tactical arrangement, they only sent one squadron at most, and one of them was a colonel named Yuen Long Aoki, and even sent only one squadron carrying the battle flag of the alliance.
