Chapter 192 - Chapter 193 Breaking Out (4)
Chapter 192-Chapter 193: Kill out of the siege (4)
"The phone number of the second and third brigades has been connected. However, Brigade Commander Hu of the Second Brigade is not on the position. Now Li Xikai of the Third Regiment is the position of brigade commander." After a while, Zhao Shujiu ran over to report.
"Hu Ziqing is not here? Is there anyone else?" Qiu Qingquan couldn't help but be stunned.
"Captain Li said..." Zhao Shujiu reported with a somewhat awkward expression: "Captain Li said that Brigade Commander Hu was ordered to go to Xiaguan Wharf to contact the 36th Division, so..."
"Don't let it go, Hu Ziqing must have escaped at the last minute. Damn, such a person should be shot. After I break out, I will definitely go to Minister He to sue him." Before Zhao Shujiu finished speaking, Qiu Qingquan roared loudly, walking around angrily, looking furious.
The garrison headquarters had already issued an order to retreat, and even the commander of the commander of the troop has withdrawn. Hu Qiru, the commander of the Second Brigade, just left the troops and ran away. What can we do? Besides, Hu Qiru was originally Minister He's confidant. Is it useful to go to Minister He to report? Zhao Shujiu muttered in his heart, but he immediately reminded: "Seat the seat, Brigade Commander Ma and Commander Li are waiting by the phone."
Since he had made up his mind to accept Sun Yuanliang's suggestion, there was no need to discuss it anymore. Qiu Qingquan said to Zhao Shujiu: "Go and tell them, let them cover alternately, retreat from the mountain, and break through to the General Mountain and Niushou Mountain areas together."
Upon hearing that Qiu Qingquan finally made up his mind, Zhao Shujiu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Yes."
With the ninth, the 16th Division's headquarters had already broken through the city wall between Guanghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate and was attacking Nanjing City. Shigeji Matsumatsu was about to go crazy. Commander Matsui Ishione ordered him to occupy Niushou Mountain and General Mountain for 24 hours, and to join the 6th Division's troops to attack Yuhuatai and Zhonghua Gate in the south of the city. However, forty-eight hours have passed, and his 114th Division should not block the foot of Niushou Mountain and General Mountain. Yesterday morning, he begged Tansuo Tansuo to attack the 6th Division on the flank of the General Mountain, without regard to his dignity, and did not shake the defense line of the Eiyi Division on the slightest. Moreover, the Sixth Division sent a corps to attack from the flank for less than a day, and Tansuo turned to attack Yuhuatai on the grounds that his frontal strength was insufficient.
Shigeji Matsu, Shigeji, had no choice but to do anything. It was already quite good if Tani Shouo could help. Now there was no threat from the flanks, and the defense line of General Shan was more stable. However, what Shigeji Matsuma is most worried about is that Commander Matsui Ishigen never came to urge him or scold him again. This shows that Ishigeji Matsui was completely disappointed with the 114th Division and marginalized him and his troops. If there was no progress, after the battle, he, the division commander, should have ended.
"Occurrence! Attack! I want you to send all your troops up and take down General Mountain." Shigeji Momatsu roared loudly at the commander of the 127th Brigade who was responsible for attacking General Mountain on the phone.
"Hay." Akiyama Hikasaburo stood straight by the telephone listening to the instructions of the division commander while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
After hanging up the phone, Akiyama Hirosaburo ordered Chiba Kotaro, who had just withdrawn and rested, and said, "Chanya, I want you to join forces with Yamada United Army soldiers and attack the General Mountain at all costs. They must be taken before dark."
"Hay." Chiba Kotaro bowed to Akiyama Hikasaburo.
Chiba Kotaro was also full of energy at this time. From dawn to the end of today, his corps launched no less than five attacks on the General Mountain position, and the last two had even attacked the Chinese army. However, the hand-to-hand combat that the Imperial Army had always been proud of was defeated in front of this Chinese army. The troops that had attacked in the two times together had more than one squadron, but all of them were killed under the bayonet of the Chinese army. Not long ago, the brigade commander ordered the Yamada United to take over his 102nd Regiment and continue to attack General Mountain. He was still very dissatisfied and believed that his troops could still attack. Now the brigade commander asked him to unite with the Yamada United Army and continue to attack, and he was still begging for it.
The shells rushed toward the frontier positions of General Mountain with a heart-pounding whistling sound. The overwhelming shells fell on the top of the mountain, and large orange scarlet fireballs suddenly rose on the ground. The hot summer air suddenly became suffocating and breathless. The sharp shrapnel flew wildly. The wet hillside that had just experienced the rainy season was extremely dry with flames.
Even though the artillery camp position on the hill on the west side just now not only suppressed the Japanese artillery positions, but also destroyed the two 1992 infantry artillery positions. However, the number of artillery soldiers of the Neon Army was huge, and the remaining artillery firepower of the Neon Army was still very fierce! The artillery shells continued to shoot up the mountain, and the officers and soldiers of the Rong Fourth Regiment suffered major casualties under the fierce artillery bombardment of the Neon Army.
"Fuck your Japanese!" Yuan Hua cursed and swung a Maxim heavy machine gun to the rain of bullets, and the bullets were pouring towards the neon army that rushed down the mountain like rain.
The Japanese who rushed up the hill fell down in the rain-like bullets, and the hillside was covered with incomplete bodies of the Neon Army. Both sides were already red. Facing the Japanese who had already rushed in front of them, the submachine gunmen who had replaced the new magazine jumped up from the ambush underground like springs, and picked up the submachine guns to face the Japanese counterattack.
"Kill!" The shouts of the officers and soldiers even overshadowed the sound of the submachine guns in their hands. The mp18-flowering mechanism swung like rain, and the Neon Army rushed towards them was harvested like mature crops. The riflesmen kept pulling the trigger, pulling the bolt, and then pulling the trigger repeatedly. They equipped the Zhongzheng and Mauser 1924 rifles, both in range and accuracy, were much stronger than their original Liao 13 rifles. The shooting skills of these Northeast Army veterans were extremely accurate. Basically, every gunfire sounded, a Neon Army machine gunner or grenade fell down.
The regiment mortars were already hot. The gunners ignored the scorching gun barrels, and they loaded the shells into the gun barrels one by one and fired violently at the center of the enemy group.
The Japanese carrying the Type 38 rifle was counterattacked by the submachine gunman, and immediately left corpses all over the ground in front of the formation. However, the Japanese's accurate gunshot technique and grenades of grenades also caused many casualties to the submachine gunman.
The Japanese have obviously increased their troops this time, and another squad of Japanese soldiers have been pressed up. The Rong Fourth Regiment has not equipped many submachine guns, and the small number of submachine gunmen were soon suppressed by the Japanese who are counterattacking up.
Seeing that the Japanese were about to rush to the front of the formation, Wang Fangping, the old captain in his thirties who had opened his military uniform in the Eastern Suburb Barracks to show Shen Xiuwen the scars on his chest. He is now the major battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the Rong Fourth Regiment. He shouted: "Grenade! Throw the grenade!"
"Battery Commander, there are no grenades." The Japanese continued to attack continuously. The grenades had already been thrown out, and the ammunition at the foot of the mountain had not yet been sent up. Seeing that the Japanese were rushing closer and closer, and even the Japanese grenades could be thrown directly into the trenches of the positions, suddenly the brothers from the platoon of engineers behind rushed over and raised the explosive packs of sparks to throw them hard into the charge crowd of Japanese on the hillside.
One of these small explosive packs is only two kilograms. They are thrown from the mountain from a high place and can roll forty or fifty meters along the hillside. The delay time of the explosive pack is also long, and it just explodes forty or fifty meters after rolling out forty or fifty meters.
Suddenly, the Japanese storm-up formation exploded in a row, and a group of Japanese soldiers who had just been pressed up were blown up by pieces and were blown away. The heavy machine guns behind him, who were responsible for the cover mission, began to aim at the engineer brothers who rushed up from behind. Many engineer brothers were hit and fell to the ground. The soldiers following behind picked up the explosive bags in the arms of the dead engineer brothers and threw them down the mountain. Some injured brothers even picked up the explosive bags without hesitation and rushed into the enemy group. A series of loud "rumbling" sounds, the wounded soldiers were crushed to pieces, and the Japanese surrounding them were blown up to pieces.
But after all, there was a whole group of Japanese soldiers. With the advantage of being crowded, they rushed to the trenches at the frontier positions. A row of Japanese soldiers took out grenades and knocked them on the ground. They flew into the trenches like green smoke grenades flying into the trenches like locusts.
There were continuous explosions in the trench, and grenades exploded in the trench, and many officers and soldiers fell in pools of blood. Neon army machine guns shot wildly, and rows of bullets passed over the heads of the officers and soldiers of the Rong Fourth Regiment, knocking down the weeds above the trench like lawn mowers.
"Swoosh swish swish swish" the strange roaring bullets hit the stone and burst out sparks of Mars. Mixed in the rain of bullets were grenades thrown by the Japanese and grenade launchers.
"Kill, fight with the Japanese." Wang Fangping threw away the flower mechanism that had been shot in his hand, pulled out a big knife from behind, roared and rushed out of the trench first.
The soldiers holding rifles got bayonets and jumped out of the trenches to rush up to the Japanese storm crew. The squad leader holding submachine guns and the regiment guards who came up with emergency reinforcements with box cannons in one hand and big swords in the other hand followed the rifle soldiers and rushed towards the enemy group without hesitation.
"Kill!" The riflemen were entangled with the enemy and started hand-to-hand combat. During the fierce battle, people fell from time to time on both sides. The Neon Army took advantage of the hand-to-hand combat, but the submachine gunmen who were constantly firing and the brothers of the guard platoon who were waving a big knife to kill in, were pulled back.
Yuan Hua was still urging the heavy machine gun to aim at the Japanese rushing up from behind. At this moment, he heard a heart-pounding hissing sound of "swish--" and a 70mm infantry artillery shell that broke through the air fell near Yuan Hua. The "boom" flashed, and a shrapnel as big as a nail piece hit Yuan Hua's left arm. The shrapnel shot into his arm with a sour sound of flesh entering the bones, and blood was immediately flowing. Yuan Hua only felt his arm numb. He didn't care yet, so he continued to shoot violently with the machine gun. After a while, he felt a sharp pain coming from his arm and spreading all over his body. Cold sweat oozed out from his head, and his hands could no longer hold the machine gun handle.
"Run!" At this time, a shout of killing came from behind. Yuan Hua reluctantly turned around and looked back. The supplementary regiment on the second-tier position had already reinforced. The leader Huang Likui rushed to the front.
Qiao Zhen walked into the command center wearing a steel helmet on his head, with a smoke on his face, and poured a teapot of cold water in one breath.
"How is the situation?" Chen Xiuwen waited for Qiao Zhen to calm down and asked quickly.
"The situation in Niushou Mountain is pretty good, but the position of General Mountain opposite us is a bit difficult. The Rong Fourth Regiment suffered a lot of casualties, and half of the casualties in the Replenishment Regiment were over. Yuan Hua had just sent it back after he hung up. I had asked Wang Shaoping to personally bring reinforcements with a battalion of the Replenishment Regiment, which was unified by Wang Shaoping. I am worried that Huang Likui would not be calm enough."
Chen Xiuwen nodded. He had just received news from Sun Yuanliang that the two brigade generals of the teaching corps broke through here with the 88th Division. Unfortunately, the 87th Division was not in contact. In addition, the 66th Army and the 83rd Army of the Guangdong clan politely declined the kindness of Rongyi and 88th Divisions, and said that he would break through according to the route on the order, which clearly did not trust them, the Central Army, who often gave medicine to miscellaneous troops.
The only thing Shen Xiuwen is worried about now is Sun Wenhua, the director of the Political Training Department, who is still in the city, and the guard camp. Since Sun Wenhua has left the Nanjing Municipal Government, there is no news yet.
"Director Xiao, you and the Gendarmerie will evacuate with us." At the gate of the Nanjing Municipal Government, Sun Wenhua, who was anxiously waiting, finally waited for Xiao Shanling, who evacuated the last batch of civilians. Although Xiao Shanling was appointed as the mayor of Nanjing during the war after the National Government moved the capital, Sun Wenhua was still used to calling him Director Xiao.
"No, the gendarmerie is also responsible for the order of Xiaguan Wharf. Besides, according to the order, our municipal government, the gendarmerie, the chief officer and the 36th Division should all retreat from Xiaguan Wharf." Although Xiao Shanling was still very haggard at this time, he seemed very energetic. After all, all the civilians left in Nanjing had been evacuated safely. As the mayor of the war, he had completed his mission. Although Nanjing was about to fall.
"Okay, Director Xiao, we will have a date later." Although Sun Wenhua had dealt with Xiao Shanling, deputy commander of the military police and director of the capital police, now Sun Wenhua still saluted Xiao Shanling sincerely for Xiao Shanling's loyalty. However, he did not expect that this time he would part with Xiao Shanling. After Xiao Shanling led the military police to cover most of the troops across the river, the last group boarded the ship north, but was fired by the Neon Army Navy gunboats on the water surface of Xiaguan Wharf and were injured. In order to avoid becoming the first general to be captured by the Neon Army, Xiao Shanling committed suicide with his last bullet and died heroically.
