Part 3 The Bloody War of Resistance Chapter 8 The Bewildering Way Section 9 The Horn (3)
A large number of Japanese people gathered on the pier, and expatriates rushed from the city. They looked panicked and were carrying simple luggage. In addition to the elderly, there were children, no young people, or even middle-aged people. The pier was full of crying children and the low comfort of women.
In addition to the expatriates, there were also many doctors and nurses in white coats. There were groups of wounded people on the ground, most of whom were lying on stretchers or with crutches. Under the support of another wounded person, he stared blankly at the boat on the dock and waited for orders.
"Dadadadada" A wounded soldier suddenly jumped up from the ground. He was wrapped in gauze and a crutch was clamped under his ribs. At this moment, he waved the crutch, made a machine gun strafing appearance, and opened fire at the crowd.
"Kun Gu, Kun Gu." A nurse rushed over, and the soldier struggled to continue shooting, making a "click" sound.
"Guikou Jun, Guikou Jun" The female nurse was obviously not strong enough to subdue the wounded soldier, and she screamed in a hurry, for fear of disturbing the other wounded. A nurse soldier ran over, and the two worked together to carry the wounded back, and another doctor came over and gave the wounded an injection.
But the behavior of the injured soldiers has caused a commotion among the injured soldiers, and another wounded soldier lying on a stretcher also shouted: "The Chinese army rushed over to the Chinese army."
"Grenade Grenade"
Crying sounds one after another, and the expatriates waiting beside him began to yell. When the situation was getting worse, a lieutenant hurried over and ordered the wounded to get on the ship. The doctor and nurse immediately lifted the wounded and started to get on the ship.
"Where are us? When will we get on the boat?" asked an old man from the expatriate team.
"The order is to get the wounded on board the ship first." The officer replied expressionlessly: "The expatriates have to wait a while."
As he said that, another group of soldiers came from the street. These soldiers were the team that had just entered the city from outside the city. The officer immediately greeted him and saluted the leader of the Nakazo.
After hearing the officer's words, Nakazo looked at the situation at the dock, said nothing, and rushed to the back and ordered: "Distract immediately, take over the dock defense, occupy all nearby buildings, and drive out all the Chinese people."
"Hayi." The soldiers scattered and rushed into several surrounding buildings. Soon, gunshots and screams rang out in the buildings. Most of the buildings around the dock were office buildings and warehouses, but there were two high-rise buildings with residents. In addition, some dock workers lived in warehouses. At this moment, they were all driven out of the building by Japanese soldiers. If they were disobedient, they were shot and killed immediately.
The Chinese who were driven out were about to flee to the wharf, but were stopped by another Japanese army and drove them to the wharf to act as coolies.
More than a dozen trucks drove over from the city. The truck stopped at the dock and jumped off several officers from the truck. They immediately called for unloading the truck. The truck was full of documents and supplies transported by the headquarters.
The sound of cannons from outside the city was closer and louder. A huge explosion sounded in the northeast of the city. The explosion was so strong that the earth was trembling. The engineers were blasting the ammunition that they had no time to transport. Under the violent explosion, there was another commotion in the expatriates' team, and the children's crying suddenly rang out.
"Let him shut up" Nakazo strode over, stood in front of the expatriates and ordered loudly, he was dirty and tired. An old woman in a kimono took a slight step, walked quickly to the officer, bowing and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Nakasa held the command knife tightly, and the old woman stared at his hand in fear. Nakasa was silent for a moment, and finally said nothing, turning around and leaving.
This unit was the last unit of the Central Army to withdraw into the city. After they left, the blocking force composed of wounded soldiers was still holding their positions. Of course, from Ananweiji to Jinzhong, they were no longer counted into the combat sequence.
"How many people are left in your army?" Anan Weiji stared at the exhausted Jinzhong. The Jinzhong troops reinforced, with a total force of more than 18,000. Anan Weiji also hoped that this army would defend Wuhan.
"More than 7,000 people." Jinzhong's answer was very simple. During this ten-day blockade, Jinzhong tried all his best to block Wang Jingjiu's attack, especially in the first few days. Although Jinzhong occupied Huanglingji before Wang Jingjiu, the troops were engaged in the battle without any fortifications. The Zhongzhang team was completely beyond his expectations. The fierce artillery fire completely suppressed them. On the first day, they lost nearly two thousand people. As soon as they stood firm, the Zhongzhang team quickly launched and used their numerical advantage to launch an attack on the front, forcing Jinzhong to continue to divide their troops. If the 116th Division had not arrived, he would have been unable to support it.
Anan Weiji was silent. He didn't expect that the battle would be so hard today. After the 116th Division arrived, they were assigned to two battlefields, Heshengqiao battlefield and Huanglingji battlefield. One brigade and one brigade were involved in the battle, and they were completely passively beaten.
In the headquarters, people were in a panic and discarded documents were everywhere. Deputy Chief of Staff Sakai Masao directed people to move things. Most of the staff members in the combat room were less, and Kinoshita Ao was still busy in the combat room.
"Has Takeuchi Jun arrived?" Anan Wei turned his head and asked Kinoshita Ao. The commander of the 116th Division, Toshijiro Takeuchi, arrived yesterday. He was going to take over Jinzhong, but before he left, he was injured by Aoki Cheng. The main position of Heshengqiao, Yindoshan, was lost. The remnants of the 40th Division retreated to Heshengqiao. At the same time, Yujiaping on the flank, and the entire Heshengqiao front was shaking. Anan Wei urgently sent Takeuchi Jun and the two brigades that accompanied him to reinforce Heshengqiao. Whether it was to defend Wuhan or give up Wuhan, Heshengqiao must be defended.
"Tsuko Takeuchi has accepted the command of the Hesheng Bridge defense line." Kinoshita Yuki, who was lying on the map, stood up and replied. When he was about to explain the battle situation of Hesheng Bridge, the phone ring in front of him suddenly rang. Kinoshita Yuki immediately grabbed the phone, and before the sound of a call came from the microphone, he heard the explosion of the shells.
"Where? Where did the Chinese army go?" Kinoshita Aoshita asked loudly, and Anan Weiji and Imakura looked nervous at the same time.
There was a continuous explosion in the microphone, and it took a while before I heard the intermittent sound: "Chinese tanks,..., Chinese tanks, cross..., Fu River, are rushing towards us."
"What did you say?" Kinoshita Yuki's tone contained surprise and anger. After blowing up the Fuhe Bridge, he finally stopped the attack of the Chinese tanks. The Chinese engineers built a bridge on the Fuhe River. Just when the bridge was about to be built, the Japanese army on the south bank of the river sent a forward team to sneak into the bridge from the upstream at night, blowing up the bridge that was about to be built in one fell swoop, and blocking the tanks again on the north bank.
Anan Weiji and Kinoshita Yuki both knew that the Chinese tanks could not be allowed to cross the Fu River. At this time, the three towns in Wuhan were different from the three towns in Wuhan during the Northern Expedition. All three towns had undergone large-scale transformation.
After the Ninghan merged, Wuhan underwent a large-scale transformation. Almost all the city walls in Hanyang were demolished, leaving only the west gate and a section of the city walls on both sides; all the city walls in Hankou were demolished, leaving only a few isolated city gates, and only two parts of the Uprising Gate and Aolo Tower in Wuchang were left.
So if they cannot block the Chinese tanks in the Fu River, they can rush into Hanyang, into Hankou, and block the Wuchang Wharf.
The Chinese tanks only appeared on the battlefield for a short time, but exposed a fatal shortcoming of the Japanese army, which lacked anti-tank weapons.
After the Yucheng War, the Japanese army had made anti-tank weapons requirements, and had seized the broken rocket launchers of the Chinese army on the battlefield, but no rockets were seized. The Japanese army had studied this anti-tank weapon and also obtained preliminary results. However, China did not launch a tank war like Yucheng anymore. The army's call for anti-tank weapons gradually became less loud, and the equipment was repeatedly pushed back. This led to the Japanese extremely lack of anti-tank weapons. The existing anti-tank weapons were only 37 war defense artillery, but this weapon could only penetrate t28 and had no effect on t34.
"The Chinese people repaired the bridge at night, and now the tanks have rushed over."
"The forward team will immediately dispatch the tank at any cost."
After Kinoshita Yuki put down the phone, Anan Weiji said: "June Imai, it seems that you can't rest yet. I immediately led two brigades to Hanyang to take over where to defend. Hankou's defense is chaired by the Wuhan Security Command."
The tanks spewed out flames and rushed towards Hanyang with thick yellow dust, crushing all obstacles along the way.
"Boom", a ball of red smoke rose from the ground, the tanks passed through the smoke, and a large amount of minced meat fell from the sky.
"Ah" The two women ran out of the cover in horror and ran backwards. The tank did not care about them, but continued to move forward, but the rain of bullets shot from the front found them without hesitation.
Sheng Gesheng saw this scene from the visiting glass and couldn't help but remind him: "Pay attention to all cars and be careful of those Japanese women. They are probably human bombs and don't let them get close to you."
Originally, the floating bridge could be built in just one day, but unexpectedly, they waited for five days. Sheng Ge was so angry that he supervised the worker on the shore all day long, urging the engineers to speed up. This was still commander of Wang Guobin. If Song Xilian was the one who dared to shoot the guard company commander who was bombed due to negligence.
Ke made a crisp sound, Sheng Gesheng turned the visiting glass, and a war defense cannon and several Japanese soldiers appeared in the camera. They were busy loading the second shell. He smiled coldly, and he was not panicked at all. This kind of 37 war defense cannon could not break the shell of the T34, and could only leave a small white dot on it.
The turret began to rotate, and Sheng Gesheng quickly spoke: "No need to fire the gun, rush over."
The tank turned around and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers hurriedly dropped the war defense cannons and fled back. The tank crushed the war defense cannons and chased the fleeing Japanese soldiers.
"Boom" came a loud bang from the side, and a figure rushed over. Before he could pounce on the tank, he was hit by the tank behind him. The ** in his arms exploded violently. Sheng Gesheng's tank vibrated violently, and then continued to rush towards Hanyang as if nothing had happened.
Finally driven out
Chapter completed!
