Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 647 Breakthrough (24)

As expected of a professional staff officer, Tsukada Gong's words were well-founded, and immediately won the approval of many old devils, of course, Tani Hisao was not included.

Gu Hisao's obvious reason is: "If the facts are as Tsukada Gong speculated, it is the work of the Central Army, in other words, it is the plan of someone Jiang, then it is worth debating that there is no such thing in the Imperial Army. When they attacked the city of Nanjing, why did the Central Army retreat in such a hurry? Also, according to the information we have, Jiang and Ouyang Yun have a very bad personal relationship. The reason. Jiang is hoping to use the hands of the imperial army to help him eradicate dissidents. So, why does he want to stay behind to help his political opponents? The current fighting places, the strength of the Chinese army in Jiangpu, Wuhu and Dangtu , we already have a clear understanding. As for the direction of the Wujiang River, when Niu Dao-kun called, it was still pitch black. It can be concluded that he did not know the real strength of the enemy. So I think, should we give priority to supporting the 18th Division? We should wait until dawn to obtain accurate information. The 18th Division encountered the main force of the Chinese Army. With the strength of the division, it shouldn’t be a problem to persist until dawn, right? If they can’t support the dawn, such an army, Is it worth our rescue? I think we should strengthen our frontal attack now, completely annihilate the main force of the student army, capture Jiangpu, and then divide our troops to attack. At that time, regardless of the four places of Wujiang, Hexian, Wuhu, and Dangtu, where It is the main force of the enemy army, under the iron hooves of the imperial army, it is bound to reveal their true colors one by one!"

But what he really thought in his heart was that he was not reconciled to the complete annihilation of his subordinates who had crossed the river safely.

The high-ranking Japanese military officials quarreled and did not have a fixed number, and finally had to send a power call to Matsui Iwane in Shanghai for instructions, hoping that he would give a decision.Poor Matsui old devil, because of the bad news that Jin Guozhen's brigade was completely wiped out, his heart was already injured a lot. Then he heard that the 18th Division was also ambushed, and he passed out without changing his breath.

After Matsui Iwane woke up leisurely, all the old devils in the Nanjing headquarters, including Hisao Tani, knew that this time they would not escape a reprimand, and they all fell silent.

Matsui Iwane took two deep breaths, took the phone from the adjutant, and called Tsukada Ko to answer the phone.

Tsukada Gong answered the phone respectfully, and said softly: "Your Excellency, the battle situation is not as bad as imagined, please take care of yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, a series of reprimands rang out from the microphone: "Bastard, Jin Guozhen's brigade was wiped out, the 18th Division was besieged, Wuhu and Jiangpu were unable to attack for a long time, the imperial army suffered heavy losses, and the main force of the Chinese people was there. I don’t know, isn’t the situation like this corrupt?! Tsukada-kun, you let me down so much. You, how did you command?”

Tsukada-kun wrote "Hai Ha Yi", but he was very wronged in his heart: I was directing with all my heart and responsibilities, but Gu Hisao and the others didn't buy it, so what can I do?
After Matsui Iwane finished speaking in one breath, he coughed violently.Then, after taking a few breaths, he shouted loudly: "Right now, immediately, immediately rescue the 18th Division! Tsukada-kun, you are the chief of staff, and you must trust your own judgment. Your plan is the only one that is currently available—— Gentlemen, work hard!"

Having received Matsui Iwane's affirmation, Tsukada Kou hung up the phone and immediately became radiant.He turned to face the crowd, and shouted in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, the Commander has given us high hopes, and we must not disappoint. Now, please take your positions and start fighting according to the Commander's latest deployment!"

"Hay!"

The sky is gradually brightening, and with a round of red sun jumping out of the sea of ​​clouds, a new day has arrived.

In the Pukou River Beach, there were originally more than [-] devils, but after more than two hours of fierce fighting, there were only more than [-] people left, including more than [-] lightly wounded.These devils, centered on Qingyuan Shao Zuo, relying on the simple facilities of Pukou Wharf, carried out the last desperate resistance.

Beside Qingyuan, a fellow villager asked softly: "Master, are we abandoned?" His face was full of despair——in the face of thunderous shouts from all sides, the devils who set their hearts up with the spirit of bushido, It is also impossible to underestimate life and death—death, at this moment, has become a lingering demon in their hearts, tearing up their courage and faith.

Shaozuo Qingyuan's face was ashen, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Bage! Don't disturb the morale of the army!" After finishing speaking, he looked towards the river on his right, and vaguely saw the shadows of a few gunboats, and the despair in his heart completely spread.As a military officer, Shao Zuo Qingyuan has more insight than his fellow villagers. When he saw the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps belonging to the Third Fleet being picked up by ships, and then those ships sailed sideways upstream, he knew that he and his men had been abandoned. .Without ships, even if Commander Tani Hisao wanted to support them, it would be unrealistic.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded not far behind him. He suddenly felt that his back was wet with some hot liquid. When he turned around, he saw that his fellow countryman had fallen into a pool of blood—— A bomb exploded more than ten meters away from them, and the fellow was hit by many shrapnel, and immediately flew up.And his back was also wet with the blood of the fellow.

"Bage!" He cursed secretly, feeling helpless in his heart.Once upon a time, the majestic army became the target of the Chinese people-this is a shame for the Imperial Japanese Army, which is known as the second largest army in the world.The Chinese people on the opposite side had at most three or four guns and about ten tanks. However, their shells seemed to be free of money, and they hit them one after another, which made them lose their temper at all.Otherwise, with the strength of the brigades under the 6th Division and the 9th Division, how could it be so passive.

On the 26th division's ground, Ouyang Yun had already put down his sniper rifle.This battle was a bit easy, so easy that he couldn't believe it.I thought that the Japanese army would definitely send reinforcements, at least they would use gunboats to support them, but in fact, from the beginning to the present, the Japanese gunboats seemed to be dumb, and they didn't say a word.In this way, the brothers of the artillery regiment and the tank regiment were naturally not polite, and worked hard. As a result, they used artillery fire to destroy the little devil's mortar squad and machine gun shooting point.

Seeing this situation, Ouyang Yun knew that there was something to be gained, so he simply ordered the 26th Division to stop charging and switch to positional warfare, reducing the living space of the devils bit by bit, and then destroying the enemy with tanks and heavy artillery.

At the beginning, Liu Yuqing was obviously not used to this bullying style of play, and once expressed deep doubts: What happened to the Japanese?
Ouyang Yun guessed a little bit, and said: "Maybe Commander Wu was too ruthless and attracted all the firepower of the little devil. That's fine. In the previous sniper battle across the river, our artillery and tank troops suffered heavy losses. , the extra shells were just used to wipe out the devils on the river beach, so we didn’t have to take them away.”

"The little devil's fleet picked up the marines and headed upstream!" Soon, Jiang Huangyong learned about this situation from the reconnaissance team, and he immediately reported to Ouyang Yun.

From this, Ouyang Yun further concluded that Wu Keren's ambush was very successful and had attracted enough attention from the Japanese army.

Liu Yuqing said: "What do you mean, little devil? Do you want to rescue the 18th Division from Wujiang River?"

This is a new situation, and if the little devil succeeds, it will undoubtedly make Wu Keren's second sequence fall into a passive situation.Ouyang Yun thought for a while and said to Jiang Huangyong: "Telegram this situation to Commander Wu immediately." Then, he said to Liu Yuqing: "Mr. Liu, let's hurry up and wipe out these devils, and then go directly to Wujiang!"

Liu Yuqing nodded and said, "It's time to end." Then, he directly issued the general attack order.

At four o'clock in the morning, the battle at Pukou Railway Station ended first.The Japanese Taiwan Infantry Brigade persisted for more than two hours, but when they found that the enemy was fighting more and more, they decisively chose to retreat, and then received an order from Tsukada at about five o'clock, and abandoned the original retreat route , and turned to kill in the direction of Bai Linpu.

Almost at the same time, the vanguard of the [-]st Jiangsu Security Division led by Shan Renxiong and the [-]th Division led by Fang Shuhong had arrived in Langmao, Chu County, and had a fierce battle with a squadron of devils who stayed there.

Chu County is only [-] kilometers away from Nanjing, and even closer to Pukou Railway Station. Shan Renxiong and Fang Shuhong gathered more than [-] military trucks assigned to them by Ouyang Yun, and it took only an hour to reach Langmao.

As the "key of Jinling", Chu County's strategic significance relative to Nanjing is self-evident, which is why the Taiwan Infantry Brigade has to stay here for defense.Of course, it's impossible for a brigade of devils to defend this place.

As soon as the battle started, the devils from the other two squadrons immediately came to support from Dingyuan County and Fengyang County. With the arrival of the First Security Division and the [-]th Division, the defense line that the Japanese army had worked so hard to build was immediately torn to pieces.

An hour and a half later, Chu County was taken back by the Nanjing defenders.

Half an hour later, that is, around six o'clock, the vanguard troops of the 6th Division and the 9th Division of the Japanese Army successfully crossed the river in the direction of Banqiao, and encountered the vanguard of the 26th Division.

At that time, Ouyang Yun's convoy was just behind the vanguard of the 26th Division.When the guns rang out in front, he instinctively ordered to stop, then got out of the car and picked up the binoculars to look at the place where the guns sounded.At this moment, the closest team of devils to him was only more than 26 meters away.Through the binoculars, he could only see densely packed devils rushing up from the rice field carrying three or eight large caps. He subconsciously thought that the devils were planning to steal his own way.Otherwise, if the devils successfully landed from here, then he and the [-]th Division would have to be besieged.

Putting down the binoculars, he couldn't help repeating: "It's okay, it's okay!" Then he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and gave Liu Yuqing an order: "Mr. Liu, the Japanese army has landed from here, and we immediately distance ourselves from the Japanese army!" Then, he He also said to Jiang Huangyong: "Give Shan Renxiong and Fang Shuhong power, let them come to pick us up immediately!"
