"Mr. Jiang, I think we should not be anxious and pay close attention to the battle situation ahead! Since Rommel dares to do this, he must be sure."

Li Zongren came up to persuade Jiang Jieshi, but Jiang Jieshi was not grateful, but said anxiously:

"Brother Delin, that's a total of 130,000 elite Japanese troops. There are only a few Flying Eagle Legion, more than 40,000 people, of which 90% of our soldiers can win. According to the past rules, five fights one, we can win! The current situation is that three Japanese troops beat us one, can we win? The arrogant German man Rommel is really ignorant of the sky and earth, and it is purely a behavior of seeking death. My Flying Eagle Legion! I'm afraid it will be destroyed in the hands of this German man. Brother Delin, I feel sorry! We finally armed three German divisions before the War of Resistance Against Japan, and almost spent all our national treasury. We fought in the battlefield in a few days and had very little left. This time, a whole German elite army of the armored army was going to be ruined like this. How can I not feel sorry?"

Li Zongren also understood Jiang Jieshi's mood. Jiang Jieshi's mood at this time just wanted someone who loved his baby. After suddenly obtaining a baby, he couldn't let it go. But someone suddenly wanted to use his baby to smash the stone to see who was the hardest. Moreover, Jiang Jieshi, the master, had no right to stop him, so anyone would be extremely sad.

No matter how anxious Jiang Jieshi was, they just waited quietly for a clear situation to appear. Now they couldn't help Rommel's carefreeness.

Rommel's command center was in the former 51st Division of the 74th Army. It was just a half-crystal bunker, more than 3,000 meters away from the front line. Rommel liked to command from the front, which is known to everyone. However, the German army strengthened the bunker and used steel as a support inside to withstand several 150 shells.

Information from the front line continued to reach the command center. For example, the Air Force found that four Japanese divisions were coming to reinforce. A distance of 20-30 kilometers, even if infantry carried various heavy weapons, they could reach the battlefield in six hours. Rommel did not have any extra troops to block the Japanese reinforcements. He could only draw one regiment for each division to face the defense line of the Japanese army. Now the Flying Eagle Legion has an air superiority and it is not a big problem to find that the Japanese army's large forces should not be a big problem.

"Report, the 101th Armored Division arrived at the attack position."

"Report, the 102nd Mechanized Infantry Division arrived at the attack position."

The radio operator stood straight in front of Rommel, waiting for his order. Rommel, who had been silent for a moment, inserted the drawing pen in his hand into the sand table and ordered loudly:

"The wolf hunting operation begins, attack, attack, and attack again. Be sure to eliminate all enemies who dare to resist in one fell swoop."

...

Li Mo started to boldly intersperse from five kilometers away from the Sixth Division at 6 a.m. on the 25th. Li Mo only carried small-caliber artillery, and all cannons above 105 mm were arranged in the outer defense line of Nanjing. This was what Rommel asked to do. The interspersed combat focused on attack speed, while the large-caliber artillery was very bulky and inconvenient to move. In addition, the 6th Division of the Japanese army was no more than ten kilometers away from the farthest troops in the outer defense line of Nanjing. German artillery could easily cover the entire journey, and there was no need to pull these cannons and run around. When you arrived at the place, you had to send enough infantry to protect the artillery positions. It was simply a matter of not losing.

Li Mo personally led the tank regiment to assault. Lieutenant Colonel Rodinburgh, the commander of the tank regiment, did not want Li Mo to get on the tank. There was no way Li Mo had to get on an armored command vehicle and follow the tank and attack quickly. The little Japanese were so arrogant that Li Mo and the others ran all the way, and they had only met a small Japanese patrol team on the road. Li Mo and the others did not make any pauses at all, and they directly crushed them. The dozens of little Japanese were crushed into honeycombs by the armored vehicles that followed.

The twelve No. 4 tanks in the front row of Li Mo's tank assault group were followed by twenty-four No. 3 tanks, and behind them were tanks No. 1 and No. 2 tanks. Although these tanks were slightly thin and their guns were small, their firing speed was fast, and the machine gun was also MG42. In other words, tanks No. 1 and No. 2 can be used in front of armored vehicles with small caliber artillery. The armor and maneuverability of tanks No. 1 and No. 2 are better than armored vehicles, and their off-road performance is not bad. The main task of these light tanks is to eliminate enemy infantry.

The Flying Eagle Legion's armored division has a total of more than 500 trucks, more than 1,300 three-wheeled motorcycles, and a large number of carriages. If Li Mo carries a cannon, he can carry three base ammunition at one time. Now because he does not carry cannons, Li Mo carries five base ammunition at one time, and there is no problem in fighting for a week. In short, the amount of ammunition Li Mo carries is enough. In the subsequent battle, there is no need to consider the lack of ammunition.

In addition, the more than 1,000 carriages of Li Mo were managed by a strengthening regiment of the National Army, with about 2,500 people. They were responsible for bringing ammunition to the front line. Li Mo's troops only fought, which means that Li Mo's troops were all combat troops, and there was no such thing as a second-line logistics force.

When Li Mo and the others broke through the defense line for five kilometers, a "buzzing" roar came from their heads. This was definitely not a little Japanese aircraft. This was the second time the Chinese Air Force had dispatched. In order to cooperate with Rommel, Jiang Jieshi also spent a lot of money to concentrate all the aircraft of the three countries. The effect was really good. The second wave of air strikes of the Chinese Air Force was divided into two parts. Part of it continued to bomb the airport to prevent the little Japanese from restoring the airport. The second part was to bomb the 6th Division with all its strength and provide air cover for the Flying Eagle Legion. The second part was the Luftwaffe, commanded by Rommel himself. Rommel exchanged a BF109 brigade for a Soviet bomber brigade. The BF109 cover of the two brigades was enough. Rommel had absolute confidence in the BF109.

After Rommel, after his troops advanced to the outer defense line of Nanjing, he directly ordered a battalion of BF109 to cover forty aircraft to launch forty bombers of various types. The primary target was the artillery position of the Japanese Sixth Division. The reconnaissance planes had just dawned, and they had reconnaissanced their artillery positions over the Sixth Division. Ridiculously, the entire Japanese Sixth Division had only one squadron's anti-aircraft gun, totaling six 37mm rapid-fire guns or magazine-type rapid-fire guns. You are not mistaken, there were only six anti-aircraft rapid-fire guns in one division of the Japanese.

The 6th Japanese Division was a Class A Division of the Old Imperial Japanese Army. It was one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II. It was well-equipped and had a wild and fierce fighting style. It was one of the main Japanese troops involved in the atrocities during the Nanjing Massacre. It had two brigades.
