As soon as Ichiki Nakamura finished speaking, the two old Japanese devils Matsui Ishione and Tsukada Oku all lit up their eyes, and they suddenly felt enlightened and awakened.

The two looked at each other and saw sinister smiles on each other's faces, and their previous frowns were swept away.

"Tsukada, do you think this plan is feasible?" Matsui Ishione had an idea in his mind, but he was in a good mood to ask for Tsukada Toki's suggestion.

After thinking for a moment, Tsukada Toru carefully analyzed: "Mr. Commander, Hu Zhi believes this plan is feasible!

The Jiangyin Fortress has been captured by the Imperial Army and has completely wiped out the remaining naval forces of the Chinese army, and the rest of them are not worth worrying about!

Nowadays, the Yangtze River waterway can be said to be basically unobstructed!

Although Zhenjiang Fortress is still in the hands of the Chinese army, the defenders need to deal with the fierce attacks of the Imperial Army's 3rd Division and the 102nd Division, and they are still too busy to take care of themselves!

In addition, the lack of naval power has led the Chinese army to be unable to guard the Yangtze River waterway!

With the transportation capabilities of the Imperial Navy, it is no problem to transport five or six thousand elite infantry soldiers at one time!

Moreover, according to the information provided before the Special High School, there are very few regular Chinese troops in the city.

The most important thing is that once the Imperial Army can land from Xiaguan Wharf, the naval naval guns can also directly bombard Nanjing City to cover the attack of the Imperial Army infantry!

It can be imagined that once that moment comes, it will definitely be no less than the five thunderbolts for the Chinese army!"

Matsui Ishione nodded repeatedly: "Tsukada Jun's words are reasonable! However, there are some points that need special attention.

First, this action must be careful and cautious. In order to avoid exposing your whereabouts, you should be alerted when choosing to act at night!

If the river surface can fog, that would be even better!

Also, naval fleet transport ships must be cautious when passing through Zhenjiang waters. At the same time, the 3rd, 101st Division and other units were ordered to increase the attack on Zhenjiang City and Zhenjiang Fortress from the land to support this surprise attack!

In addition, the Special High School should also be ordered to mobilize their agents lurking in Nanjing City to launch a surprise attack on the Supreme Command of the Chinese Army after the landing battle of the surprise attack troops was launched. It is best to destroy or control the command of the Chinese Army!

Even if it cannot, we must as much as possible to arouse the Chinese army's garrison in Nanjing city!

If you take such a two-pronged approach, Nanjing City can be broken!"

"Your Excellency Commander!" Tsukada Oku, Nakamura Kazuki and others quickly praised and flattered each other.

Immediately afterwards, Nakamura Kazuki said again: "Commander, Huyi feels that before the surprise attack is launched.

We can also add another insurance policy and, according to the proposal just now by His Excellency the Chief of Staff, ordered the 18th Division to launch an attack from Guangde, Langxi areas to Xuancheng, Wuhu and other places.

At that time, even if the Chinese army is prepared in advance, they can restrain their troops and attention, and ensure the success of the surprise attack!"

"Yo Xi!" Matsui Ishigeni was deeply concerned about the key point, and then he said ambitiously: "Nakamura, your proposal is very good!

So, start taking action now!

As long as Nanjing City is taken down by us, the main force of the Chinese army on the front battlefield will collapse without fighting!

By then, victory will completely belong to my Great Japanese Imperial Army!”

...

With Matsui Ishien's order issued.

Nakamura Ichiki immediately left the Front Command and headed straight for Zhenjiang by military car.

At the same time, the Japanese army drew a full-scale infantry regiment from the 101st Division that attacked Zhenjiang, plus 3,000 Marines.

There are nearly 6,000 people in total.

We prepared to assist the Third Navy Fleet and take the Yangtze River to the Yangtze River that night and attack Nanjing!

On the other hand, the 18th Japanese Division, headed by Sadao Niujima, had begun to integrate its team after receiving the order and was preparing to launch an attack on Xuancheng.

…………

Nanjing, garrison headquarters.

After receiving successive news from the frontline.

Compared with the bleakness before Matsui Ishione and Tsukadada, there are constant laughter and joy here.

Everyone, including Commander-in-Chief Tang Mengxiao, had their faces swept away.

Yu Liangzhen, the commander of the 74th Army, praised Yang Jing continuously: "Miracle effect! Miraculous effect! I didn't expect that Commander Yang's combat plan was so useful. He achieved immediate miraculous effects as soon as he was put out!"

"yes!"

Song Yinguo, Gui Shuzhen and others also nodded one after another.

Deputy Commander Luo Youqing said: "Now it seems that our previous tactics are indeed a bit dull and outdated.

However, although the first battle has achieved miraculous results, we should not be happy too early.

First of all, as far as the current battle is concerned, our army has severely damaged the Japanese army's spirit, but the casualties are even heavier than those of the Japanese army.

Of course, compared with the Battle of Shanghai, such a battle loss ratio is already very good!

In the next battle, the Japanese army will inevitably change, and we should change relatively early.

In addition, I think it is necessary for us to power the Hu Ben Regiment again, share the battle situation and intelligence on the front line with Yang Jing, and ask him to continue to provide us with tactical guidance based on the Japanese army's formation change."

"Well! Chief Luo's words make sense!"

Everyone nodded.

At this time, a communications officer suddenly rushed in from outside.

Seeing his hurried expression, Tang Mengxiao's face changed and she asked, "What's wrong?"

The correspondent said: "Reporting to the Chief, Xuancheng called and said that a large number of Japanese troops were approaching Xuancheng from Guangde and Langxi areas.

Please send troops to reinforce in advance!"

When Tang Mengxiao heard this, she admired Yang Jing even more.

"Do you know the specific number of the Japanese army?"

The communications consultant replied: "It is unknown at present, but according to intelligence analysis, it should be the 18th Japanese Division that attacked Huzhou before."

Although the 18th Division of the Japanese Army is not one of the 17 permanent A divisions, it is also a special division of the 44th system.

The so-called four-four system is a division composed of two infantry brigades, four field infantry corpses, plus a division directly under the field artillery corps, a division directly under the cavalry corps, a division directly under the engineering corps, and a division directly under the baggage corps.

Its organization is the same as that of the permanent A-type division, and its combat power is not much different.

After basically confirming that the Japanese 18th Division attacked Xuancheng, Tang Mengxiao said to the communications staff again: "Tell the Xuancheng defenders, just say that the 66th Army is on the way to go! Order him to persevere until the reinforcements arrive no matter what!"

"yes!"

After saluting, the communications officer immediately turned around and left.

…………

Frontline battlefields.

The Japanese army was not discouraged by the setbacks of the vanguard's attack. Instead, in order to avenge the previous shame, they launched a more fierce attack on the defenders.

At the same time, the defenders were greatly motivated after they found that the Japanese army was not invincible because of the tactical guidance provided by Yang Jing.

The cruel bloody battle began.

However, because the Japanese army has air supremacy, the power of ground artillery also has an absolute advantage.

Under the repeated bombing of Japanese low-altitude artillery fire, these national military troops, which used new tactics for the first time, suddenly suffered casualties.

However, they fought to the death, or used new tactics to play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses. Especially under Yang Jing's guidance, they knew how to make a moor bottle against the Japanese tanks and tanks.

This also caused great casualties to the Japanese attacking troops.

It must be mentioned that in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the courage of both the Central Army and local troops, officers and soldiers was no less than that of the Japanese army.

The reason for the defeat in the war was that the Japanese army had equipment suppression and the combat qualities of soldiers were even higher than those of the country. There were too many troops.

As well as the coordinated combat between various Japanese troops, such as the coordination of intra-tank and intra-artre coordination, the coordination of intra-artres and artillery, are not something that the national army can achieve.

...

All day long, cruel bloody battles were happening almost everywhere in the second line of the garrison.

In order to compete for some important positions, both the enemy and us even went back and forth, each launching several attacks.

There were even many bloody battles in hand and blade!

Throughout the whole day, the Japanese fighter jet formation almost never stopped and kept traveling between the airport and the front-line battlefield.

The bombs and airborne machine guns were poured into the defending positions.

Almost every minute and every second, someone is injured and someone dies.

But that's it, the defenders still resisted the Japanese attack all day long.

It was not until nightfall that the Japanese attack slowly stopped.

The troops of the national army, which had been fighting fiercely for a day, finally got a chance to breathe.

The medical staff from the reserve team and field hospital immediately rushed to the front line, began to rescue the wounded and transport the bodies of the dead to the rear for burial.

The cooking teams of each department also prepared a hot dinner in time and delivered it to the front line to the soldiers.

Because they were worried that the Japanese army would attack at night, the soldiers who had dinner did not dare to withdraw from their positions at all. They could only hold guns and sleep in the trenches of the position under the coldest cold of nearly zero.
