The development of things is just like Chen Hanwen's ambivalence.
No one can tell whether Shang Zhen's and others' cunning behavior of refusing to stand their ground is correct.
The thirty or so of them were hiding in ambush on the edge of the battlefield, and they did not get another chance to attack the small group of Japanese troops.
The bloody battle between the enemy and ourselves continued, and before we knew it, a few more days passed, and it was already the end of November.
The Japanese army attacking the front line of Jiangyin County finally became jealous when they saw that they concentrated their superior forces to attack the B divisions of the two local armies of China that were unable to capture them.
The commander of the Japanese division fighting the Chinese army ordered the mobilization of the entire division, and the Japanese army was organized into regiments. At the same time, attacks were launched on various positions of the defenders.
"Commander, I lost my position, shoot me!" Huang Chaobo, who was behind the 112th Division's defense line, told his division commander.
After the counterattack against the Japanese army a few days ago, Huang Chaobo and the others were once again assigned a defensive position.
"Are these the only ones left in your company?" the division commander asked, looking at the dozen or so soldiers who had withdrawn from the front.
"Yes, sir!" Huang Chaobo replied.
"What's the use of killing you? Let's kill the Japanese. This is our real ability!"
The people from the security company will follow them and take back the position for me! "The division commander ordered.
"Division commander, who will protect the safety of the division?" At this time, his chief of staff asked.
"The division headquarters does not need the protection of others, and the division headquarters must also be there at critical times!
Cooks, signal corpsmen, staff officers, orderlies, I don’t care whether you hold a pen or a gun, you will all follow me when the time comes! "The division commander said flatly.
The officers and soldiers around him saw the division commander's decisive attitude, and their hearts jumped "bang bang bang". Although the troops directly under the division rarely participated in point battles, they were nervous, but they also had hatred for the Japanese army.
The military orders were like mountains. Under the strict orders of the division commander, Huang Chaobo drove forward with more than a hundred soldiers.
Any large-scale battle is usually divided into a reserve force of combat troops. The combat force is responsible for engaging the enemy. When the two sides fight endlessly and only the last critical moment is missing, the reserve force will be put in.
But this is just a general situation. In the current situation of the 112th Division, they have no reserve team to send.
The Japanese army used its superior strength to attack across the board, and the reserves have been dispatched. Now when another position is broken through by the Japanese army, the only force available is the division's direct troops.
By now, the 112th Division has long since lost its mortars. Even if it does have artillery, the shells have been used up, so the only thing that can provide cover now is a heavy machine gun.
"Don't rush up like a swarm of swarms. Have you seen those dirtbags under the high ground in front? The machine gunners also have good marksmanship and rush there first to cover the people behind.
The rest of the people dispersed and followed me, rushing up the hillside. Captain Wang took half of the people to hide behind the trees, and then took cover.
I led the rest of the men to attack the top of the mountain, and the first one to call for cover rushed up. After that, Captain Wang led his men to charge up again.
Three groups of us attacked in succession, and we were able to take back the position no matter what! "Huang Chaobo made combat arrangements for this company.
That company commander Wang was the guard company commander of the division headquarters.
Huang Chaobo didn't even discuss the issue of who would command the company with Captain Wang, but he took command directly without any hesitation.
The reason why Huang Chaobo made such a battle deployment was that he knew that rushing upwards like a swarm of swarms would be brave, but the casualties would be huge. On the other hand, he was inspired by Shang Zhen and the others.
A few days ago, their company had an encounter with Shang Zhen and four others during their retreat.
And in this encounter, they did not just discuss the military rank of the two stars in the yellow badge.
Huang Chaobo could understand the kind reminder from the soldier who spoke little but was very calm.
He didn't know that the soldier was Shang Zhen, but he was actually a company commander like him.
At that time, the soldier seemed to casually tell him that when fighting with the Japs, don't rush up in a swarm, but pay attention to cross-covering.
After that, people still said, "Have you noticed that the little devils also attack in this way during positional warfare?"
When Huang Chaobo was saying this to the soldier, his soldiers laughed at the four men for being timid.
However, Huang Chaobo, who sells goods and knows people, still understood the important information in this explanation, or in other words, every sentence in the few words was full of important information!
And now is the time for Huang Chaobo to use those useful information.
The "hole-hole-hole" sound of the heavy machine gun was like beating a war drum to launch an attack on the Japanese army.
More than a hundred soldiers from that company divided into three waves according to Huang Chaobo's order and launched an attack on the Japanese positions.
The number of Japanese soldiers guarding that position was not very large. After more than half an hour, the company finally regained the lost position.
But by this time, it was Captain Wang who was commanding the battle.
The reason is that Huang Chaobo, who made the correct tactical offensive deployment, has been killed in action. The group of people he led were the first group to attack the Japanese troops on the mountain.
What confidence does Huang Chaobo have to command this company that was originally not under his control?
That is of course because everyone understands that the first group of people to attack the mountain will definitely bear the brunt of the Japanese firepower and will either die or be injured. There is no third possibility. It is already similar to a death squad!
The blood and fire of the battle continues every day.
The 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army and the 112th Division of the Northeastern Army are still defending the front line of Jiangyin, but so what?
Yixing, Guangde, and Liyang have fallen successively. All positions outside Nanjing have been breached by the Japanese army. The Chinese army on the Jiangyin front line has become a lonely force.
On December 1, the Chinese high command finally issued an order for the 112th Division and the 103rd Division to retreat.
By this time, both divisions had suffered heavy casualties.
Only then did the Chinese army know that after the Japanese army won the victory on the Songhu battlefield, they were already ready to attack Nanjing!
What the Chinese army didn't know was that this time the Japanese army attacked Nanjing, but it was another typical Japanese army's "lower to overcome upper" behavior.
The Japanese army base camp did not reach a unified opinion on whether to attack Nanjing, the capital of China. However, several Japanese army regiments that did not suffer heavy losses on the Songhu battlefield were already using troops without authorization. Just like the Japanese army only used a few hundred people at the beginning. Then he attacked the heavily-garrisoned Shenyang Beida Camp.
When launching an attack on the Japanese army, the Chinese army was resolute, but no matter how resolute the attack was, it would not be able to withstand when the casualties were too high.
During the retreat, the performance of the defensive armies became uneven.
As long as one position is lost, it will gradually lead to collapse, after all, it is not only the quality of the troops that is indeed inferior to that of the Japanese army, but also the leadership level of the army. There are also major problems.
"Another mountain has been lost."
"There are no mountains anywhere, the Songhu battlefield is all plains and water."
"Guanshan is in our hearts"
"Shit! What's the use of Guan Shan in your heart? All the Guan Shan in reality is gone. How many Japanese can the Guan Shan in your heart stop?"
This was a conversation between two Chinese soldiers while the 112th Division of the 57th Northeast Army was retreating to Nanjing.
The one who sighed in the former was Chu Tian, and the one who retorted with vulgar words in the second was Lao Mao Wang.
Just when Chu Tian was about to use Wang's strong words, Kuai'er directly said to Chu Tian: "I said you are a scholar, shut up your mouth!
It turned out that you said that others were defeated troops, but now what about us, aren't we also defeated troops? I wonder if anyone is still laughing at us? "
Don't expose your shortcomings as a human being, but now Qian Chuan'er has taken over Chu Tian's shortcomings.
The reason is naturally because when Shang Zhen and others saw the Chinese army retreating from the Songhu battlefield, Chu Tian said those people were defeated troops, and Shang Zhen's answer was, how do you know those defeated troops are becoming Have you never resisted before?
But now Qian Chuan was using Chu Tian's logic to fight back against Chu Tian. This time Chu Tian was finally speechless.
The establishment of logic has nothing to do with the beauty of words.
It was early winter, and amid the howling cold wind, a torrent once again formed on the road to Nanjing.
The ragged and lifeless Chinese officers and soldiers looked like they were Chinese officers and soldiers who had lost the battle. The civilians were better dressed than the officers and soldiers who had come off the battlefield, but their faces were all pale with panic. The rumble of cannons in the distance seemed like that. Hu Qiming in Yanshan chirped, while nearby there was a sound of fathers and mothers calling girls!
At dusk, Shang Zhen and the others, who were following the 112th Division, finally saw the shadow of the city wall in the distance.
The city of Nanjing is approaching, and this is another mountain pass.
Countless passes have been lost. Can we hold on to this pass this time? This is the capital of China nowadays.
Shang Zhen and others, including all Chinese people, don’t know what the city of Nanjing will mean to the entire Chinese nation in the next December.
They only know that no matter whether they can hold this mountain pass or not, what awaits them is destined to be a bloody storm, and it can only be a bloody storm!
