"How many casualties?"

"More than two thousand..."

The captain of the Matsumoto regiment's lips trembled and his face turned pale. He had just been transferred from the country. He had never experienced such a cruel battle. In just a few hours, he lost more than 2,000 people. That was half of the infantry regiment. ⊙,

Add to the previous two brigades...

Matsumoto felt like he was about to faint. A small Chinese Sect actually damaged nearly one-quarter of the elite A-type division of the Japanese Empire.

Major General Ikebukuro, as the highest commander of the front line, could no longer sit still. If the battle continues, his brigade commander will soon become bare.

The attack was once again frustrated, and Inoue saved his life again. This time, only five of his squad died, the rest were all back alive, and two were injured.

The other teams had at least half of the casualties, and the soldiers were dejected, as if they were lost. The Chinese army was too cunning. They actually buried themselves in the rubble, and waited for them to come over and suddenly launched a fierce attack from behind.

The Japanese staff members were busy asking about the situations they encountered during the battle so that they could summarize, summarize the lessons and find solutions to deal with them.

But facing the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side who were like "rats" in the corner of the ruins of the city, the staff members felt that their minds were almost numb. Who are these people? How could they come up with so many unethical and smoke-filled tactics?

Some Japanese soldiers were so nervous that they were teased. When they faced the cunning Chinese, their IQ felt that they were no longer enough.

what to do?

There is no way, but the price is not small. The Japanese army regretted it at this time, why did the venting revenge make the heavy weapons on hand unable to exert their due combat effectiveness?

What is the reason? There is not enough ammunition.

Once the Chinese army in the city finds that they have no shells, the consequences will be quite serious. Are there any heavy artillery useless?

The previous heavy artillery corps was knocked into a pile of scrap iron because they were careless, and even the captain of the corps were broken.

Of course, the information fed back from the Jiangbei battlefield was that the Chinese army transferred heavy artillery to Jiangbei for use. A corps of the Tiangu Detachment suffered heavy losses without obtaining any information.

Two months ago, the Chinese army defended the city by 100,000. The Japanese Empire was beaten to death by the great Japanese Empire. Now, it was so good that it was beaten to death by a 20,000-strong army.

This is too unbelievable.

The command center was obviously unwilling to give up and organized an attack again. But Major General Jing was unable to hold on. If his soldiers were allowed to enter, the morale of the army would collapse.

In order to win Nanjing City, Yoshika Ryosuke decided to do whatever it takes. Since the brigade cannot be done, he would have to replace the people and let the Akiyama brigade go.

Major General Akiyama Yoshidui's scalp was numb and he was a spectator for the whole morning. He was not a fool. Even a fierce and fierce man like Ikea returned home in vain. How could he be better than him?

Akiyama asked Yoshikara to give him two hours to study and prepare. When he encountered such a difficult opponent, Akiyama had no confidence at all.

Looking at the wounded soldiers in the camp, Ji Jialiangfu agreed with a dark face.

"The Japanese stopped attacking. Listen, the gunshots are obviously much smaller."

"Yes, there is almost no gunfire in the direction of Zhonghua Gate. The gunfire in the direction of Tongji Gate, Guanghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate have also been sparse. The Japanese troops from other gates have also retreated. Now, except for the positions of Zhonghua Gate being broken by the Japanese army, the city wall positions of other gates are still in our hands."

"The Japanese army suffered a loss under the city walls and would definitely think of other ways. We must strictly prevent the Japanese army from detouring."

"Order the supplementary third regiment to defend the Sancha River to the death, and the Japanese army cannot come from anywhere. Then we will be in danger." Leng Feng ordered sternly.

"clear!"

In order to make up for the lack of troops, Leng Feng ordered the engineers to lay mines and set up a large number of obstacles and traps on the critical passages on the south bank of the Sancha River.

The same is true in the east, and landmines were buried on the possible detours of the Japanese army and sent guards.

It was not easy for the Japanese army to encircle the circle. Leng Feng placed the only cavalry unit in his hand in Xiaguan Huji Company, which was formed by a captured Japanese cavalry brigade.

In order to form this army, it took a lot of effort to find a cavalry company commander from the **** in the safe area, Hu Bagui, who was born in the Northwest Army.

At first I thought I was a child of Bagui, but in fact I was an authentic Northwest man.

This guy stripped off his military uniform, put on the clothes of ordinary people, planned to hide his identity, wait for the opportunity to escape and live his life, and kicked a lot of fiat currency and oceans on his body.

As a result, the "Silver Fox" was caught out. Of course, he was treated as a bad guy at first, but who knew that in the first instance, this guy was actually a cavalry company commander. He worked in the Northwest Army. Later, he went to the Second Army and got a lot of corruption and got stuck, so he didn't want to do it anymore. Who would have thought of losing to Nanjing City?

After re-education, Company Commander Hu cried bitterly and vowed not to be a deserter again.

Leng Feng didn't know what Shen Zhiming said to this guy. Anyway, he formed a cavalry battalion directly under the division headquarters. This guy's eyes were very poisonous. As long as he had been a cavalry, he could recognize it at a glance. So, although this cavalry battalion was newly formed, his combat effectiveness was not weak.

The frontal attack was frustrated, and the commander of the Third Division, Fujita Shin immediately suggested detour to Sanchakou and directly penetrated into Xiaguan along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to block the retreat of the defenders in the city.

Or attack from Taiping Gate, forcing the defenders in the city to divide their troops to resist.

In Fujita's view, the roundabout attack and blocking the retreat route of the defenders is the first volume. It can eliminate the Chinese defenders in the city in one fell swoop. The Zhongce is to attack the Taiping Gate, so that the defenders can lose sight of one thing. Once the defenders are defeated, they can still abandon the city and flee without hurting the fundamentals.

The worst strategy is to attack China, Guanghua and Zhongshan and other cities in the south.

The frontal breakout has suffered a huge failure, and it is time to change the tactics.

General Shin-Ruo Hata agreed to Fujita's strategy, but he did not give up the frontal attack, but asked Fujita to pull out one brigade from the Third Division and adopt a roundabout strategy. If he could win the Xiaguan, it would be better. If he couldn't take it, he could at least distract the attention of the defenders in the city and support the attack on the frontal battlefield.

The Japanese army began to challenge their tactics, and Leng Feng also called the commanders of various frontier positions to the command center to hold a meeting to discuss the next moves of the Japanese army and their response methods.

The enemy is changing, so the national rescuer will naturally change, otherwise he will lose the initiative on the battlefield.

"The Junglewolf Telegram, there is a battalion in the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army who is unknown."

"A brigade, this is a very powerful force. I will find out where the brigade is going immediately. When there is any news, report it immediately." Leng Feng ordered.

"yes!"

"It seems that the Japanese army is going to change its strategy." Qiu Qingquan said.

"The Japanese army is not a fool. If you can't attack head-on for a long time, you will naturally have to find another way." Liang Dong nodded, "Will we also adjust and deploy accordingly in the Japanese army's tactics?"

"At present, the Japanese army only occupies a small foothold in the Zhonghua Gate. Next, we have to control the speed of the Japanese army's advancement. It cannot be too fast, but it cannot be too slow. I have made a schedule, so everyone can take a look and master the speed." Leng Feng ordered, "Long Yingqin, I will distribute it to everyone."

"yes!"

"It's not that everyone has to follow this timeline, but they must control the speed and not let the Japanese army have any doubts. It's because we deliberately lured them into the city."

"This is so difficult!"

"I've never fought such a battle..."

"That's right, how can you be so big? I've never seen it before?

...

"It doesn't mean that there is no one before. Our goal is to consume the Japanese army's vitality in a limited time. In the past few hours, you have also tasted the sweetness. The enemy and us are in a stalemate, especially the New 40th Brigade. They fought very well near the Zhonghua Gate. The enemy and our enemies were mixed up with us. Most of their heavy artillery and planes were nullified. Everyone was barefoot, so who was afraid of whom?"

"Ha ha……"

"The Japanese army will definitely change its tactics next. You must be careful. Japan is very good at learning. In the future, you must keep thinking and go to war with your brain. Don't blindly believe in previous experiences. After the war, you must summarize. Even if there is a new situation after a battle, and do not hide your own personal information. At this time, it is a short-sighted behavior!"

"hey-hey……"

"Don't laugh. Although everyone played well this morning, there were many problems. Many people lost their lives because they did not obey orders and implicated others. After you go back, you must be disciplined and not wait for the law enforcement and picket team of the Taoist Division Headquarters to find it. It would be too late." Qiu Qingquan said seriously.

"How to use troops, how to fight, and what tactics to use depends on you to master them flexibly on the battlefield. It's getting late, and I don't care about food here. If I haven't eaten yet, go to the kitchen to get two steamed buns and go back quickly." Leng Feng stood up and looked at his watch, then waved his hand and ordered.

"yes!"

At around 2 pm, the Japanese army launched another full-scale attack. This time, the Japanese artillery preparations were significantly smaller than those in the morning, and the time lasted for five minutes, and then they began to bombard the key targets.

The infantry then launched a scattered charge, no longer pursuing the speed of impact, but focused on attack efficiency, attacked steadily, and advanced steadily.

The Japanese army's aggression was not as good as before, but its efficiency was much improved.

"Yoxi, Akiyama Jun still has a way." Yoshika Ryosuke was very satisfied and smiled when he saw that under the command of Major General Akiyama Yoshidui, the efficiency of the Japanese attack was greatly improved and the casualties were reduced a lot.

He was also worried that if the attack was frustrated again, the first achievement of capturing Nanjing would inevitably not slip away from the gaps in his fingers, and he would also have to bear considerable responsibilities.

The Japanese army's attack became stable, with front and back, left and right contact, not impatient or aggressive, and also effectively matched weapons and personnel, and took every step forward.

This is not a good phenomenon for the national rescuer. Under the same conditions, the quality of the national rescuer's soldiers is several levels worse than that of the Japanese army.

The only advantage now is that they are more familiar with the terrain than the Japanese army, and their weapons and equipment are at least not inferior to the other party. In addition, they are effective organization of confrontation and increased initiative in combat.
