Chapter 245: The Battle of Nanjing's Defense Takes a Turn (5)

After fierce artillery and bombing, the 16th Japanese Division dispatched three infantry regiments in a continuous attack posture, preparing to attack the northern slope of the General Mountain Fortress, while the 11th Division almost all attacked the southern slope of the General Mountain Fortress. The battle began to enter a fierce and extremely fierce battle. The Japanese army wanted to gradually compress the positions of the Chinese defenders with its superior strength, but the Chinese defenders fought to the death with their advantage in firepower with their light weapons and mortars.

The 16th Japanese Division, who had completely cleaned up the battlefield of the Niushou Mountain fortress, found an astonishing fact that the division annihilated the headquarters of the Rehe Legion, which was claimed to be the elite in the Chinese army. Because the dead Chinese officers and soldiers had an armband marked with the word "Tiger" and a large number of submachine guns, even anti-chariot rifles, etc., weapons and equipment that were difficult to see even ordinary Central Army German troops.

After receiving this report, Nakajima Atsugo suddenly felt proud. Previously, because of Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya, Nakajima Atsugo almost became the target of public criticism. The huge price paid by the 16th Division to attack Niu Shoushan was almost the target of ridicule by his colleagues.

But at this moment, Nakajima Atsugo knew that he was proud and finally came. The 16th Division annihilated at least the Rehe Legion reinforced a division unit in Nanjing on Niushou Mountain!

Nakajima Atsugo suddenly felt like he was turning over? All the previous slander and criticism were asked to go to the devil! So Nakajima Atsugo hurriedly picked up the seized military uniform and logo,

Submachine guns, anti-tank rifles, 82mm mortars, etc. were submitted as evidence to the acting commander Prince Hinahiko Asakamiya.

The 16th Division actually defeated and almost annihilated the troops of the Rehe Legion in Niushou Mountain. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army was even greater than that of the teaching corps. Asakamami Kuchihiko was also a little surprised because after counting the 16th Division, the corpses left by the Chinese army had been buried on the outer positions of more than 3,000? There were many of them blown up by artillery fire. They could not tell whether they were the corpses of Chinese soldiers or Japanese soldiers, as well as those corpses burned by Japanese incendiary bombs. In addition, the 16th Division deliberately concealed some of their own casualties.

Therefore, the final inference of Prince Hirohiko Asakagumi's aides and staff members, the Chinese army's abandoned corpses were about 4,000. If the minor and serious injuries were added, the casualties of the Chinese army naturally exceeded 5,500. An ordinary Chinese military advisor was more than 5,000 to more than 8,000. In addition, the mice trapped in the abdomen of Niushou Mountain resisted stubbornly, so the results of annihilation of a division of the Rehe Lehe Legion can be confirmed.

Hearing this exciting news, Hirahiko Asakamura was extremely moved to pace back and forth in the command center, but soon, Prince Hirahiko Asakamura changed his face and turned around and said, "No, according to the imperial intelligence, it is only the first temporary mechanized division sent by Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Legion to Nanjing. Since we have completely wiped out one of the divisions of the Rehe Legion? Then, Zhang Xuewu's army should have been completely wiped out? Where are the tanks and heavy artillery of the Rehe Legion?

"The doubts of Asakamiya Hirohiko made many staff members present look at each other. Colonel Kuroda has always been called the Prince's chief think tank, and Kuroda also thought a little thought: "What the Prince is considering is that the Rehe Legion has only five divisions nominally, but its strength is nearly 200,000. In terms of strength, it is no less than a legion of the Chinese army, so the first temporary mechanized division of the Rehe Legion cannot be measured by the ordinary Chinese army.

Asakamami Kurahiko nodded and said, "I think so too, because Asakamami Kurahiko, I suddenly remembered that the 11th infantry brigade of the Sixth Division was attacked by the tentative first mechanic division of the Chinese army. The troops of a brigade were defeated and annihilated within a few dozen minutes. How could the enemy's strength be underestimated?" Kuroda thought for a moment and said, "I guess this tentative first division is probably composed of chariots and engineers,

The heavy artillery and other troops formed a comprehensive force, which is likely to have five to eight brigades of infantry, with a total number of not less than 30,000 or 40,000 people. Most of them are composed of elite troops of the Rehe Legion. For such an army on the other side, we are equivalent to attacking the elite teaching corps of the Nanjing Government Army of China!

To completely defeat and annihilate the Chinese army's spiritual Hun troops is to completely defeat the Chinese army's fighting spirit and morale. An army without fighting spirit and morale cannot be called an army."

Asakamiya Hirohiko hesitated and said, "Then we will announce it to the public, how can we destroy one of the Rehe Legion of the Chinese Army?...

Kurotano is not good at swearing the excitement of Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya. To be honest, such a vague battle report has no effect. The only advantageous evidence is the captured uniforms of the Chinese army Rekawa Legion and damaged weapons. These things are almost everywhere on the battlefield where Jiri fought.

Not only Zhang Xuewu responded to the battle reports released by the Central Japanese Army, but also the commanders of the divisions and brigades of various Japanese troops were disdainful, believing that this was just his highness as Prince Hirahiko Asakamiya was making excuses for Atsugo Nakajima of the 16th Division.

Attack! Attack! In front of the main position of Qixia Mountain, the 13th Division of the Japanese army and the Taiwan Chongteng Detachment poured artillery fire onto the defending positions as if crazy. The dense Japanese army launched a fierce attack like waves of the sea.

During the attack, the Japanese army even used artillery to repeatedly bombard the defending positions despite their own casualties. On the positions where gunpowder smoke exploded, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies were abandoned and blood flowed into a river.

The second brigade of the teaching corps commanded by Gui Yongqing of Qixia Mountain was also unable to support it. Except for the main peak position, all the other positions were given up. The shrinking defense sounded good, but in fact it was just a forced one.

Dai Zhihuang, the commander of the 103rd Division, found Gui Yongqing and said anxiously: "Captain, if I don't withdraw my 103rd Division, I will be exhausted! Two brigades! These are the seed troops of our teaching corps! Is this a spelling method okay?" Gui Yongqing stood in front of the map and frowned and said, "Retreat? How to withdraw? Zhang Xuewu's two-stupid guy can kill you with one shot. Even if he reaches Chairman Jiang's door, he can't win. Zhang Xuewu's elite brigade of the Fifth Brigade was the first to fight in Niushou Mountain. Huo Shouyi of the 112th Division on General Mountain told me by phone that you have seen the temporary first mechanized division of the Rehe Legion. How can he be worse than our teaching corps? That was also trained by the German military advisory group, the average junior high school

The above cultural level, Zhang Xuewu, a basic cadre team, was so fierce. Especially now that the Japanese have used more than 20 divisions to attack Rehe, Zhang Xuewu is probably most anxious at this moment. Who dares to touch that bad luck at this time? That's asking for death!" Dai Zhiqi said helplessly: "Then you can only fight all of them. This Nanjing City is not a place to defend. Since ancient times, there has been only one Chu King Xiang Yu who broke his father's victory in Shenzhou. The rest of the people were defeated and killed! Zhang Xuewu is holding us to bury him together!" "Shut up!" Gui Yongqing glared: "Defending the city is the chairman's decision. If Zhang Xuewu does not volunteer, it will be Tang Shengzhi. Zhang Xuewu is much stronger than Tang Shengzhi.

〖Japan〗The total attack began in the early morning of May 25th, and we have been holding on for twenty days today. This is a miracle. Now there is no fighter in the sky. Whether this Nanjing city can be defended is not the limit. It depends on Zhang Xuewu. As a soldier, he watched the country and the family be destroyed? What can it be if it is life or death? You and I are in this command center now and it is useless to feel sad. I took the guards and went to the front line and fought with Xiao Japanese. Hao Mengling died so much that I, Gui Yongqing, died as much as possible."

Dai Zhiqi hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "My captain! The war has come to this point. What kind of guard company do I have? I have already pulled it up!" Gui Yongqing fastened the belt of the steel helmet and picked up a submachine gun and pulled the gun and pushed the bullet and loaded it, saying: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky! I can't fight this war, I will go back and invite you to drink." As the position in Qixia Mountain fell, the 154th Division and the 156th Division were in the 154th Division.

The troops defended Hewan, Datang, Hongcun, Jinshengcun and other positions along the Qinhuai River, and were breached by the Japanese 18th Division and the 114th Division. Wu Jianxiong, the commander of the 154th Division, personally led the division's pistol battalion and supplementary regiment to reinforce, and fought with the Japanese 18th Division all day long in Hewan. The blood dyed the river red. All the officers and soldiers of the 154th Division fought to the death and refused to retreat. The attack of the Japanese 18th Division was once forced to stop adjusting the attack.

The 156th Division's position was completely broken by the 114th Division of the Japanese army. Because the 156th Division used the reserve team too early, when facing the Japanese army's full breakthrough, the division commander Li Jiang found that the situation was hopeless. Not only was his 156th Division completely wiped out, but he also violently pulled the flanks of the 154th Division of the flank friendly army. In shame, grief and anger, Li Jiang drew his gun to attack Chengren.

The Qixia Mountain Fortress was completely surrounded by the Japanese army. Zhang Xuewu only contacted Gui Yongqing through radio. However, the chaotic artillery fire and a large amount of electric power made the radio signal extremely poor. Finally, the frequency of Qixia Mountain command post was about to be connected. Only then did Zhang Xuewu realize that Gui Yongqing had personally gone to the front line?
