In Nanjing, the combat quality of the resistance troops led by Song Yinguo was still far behind the Japanese raid troops in terms of combat quality.

In addition, he was hasty to face the challenge and was not ready.

As the Japanese Marine Corps flew around from the left and right wings, the defecation gradually revealed and had to fight and retreat.

Gradually retreated to the Xuanwu Lake area.

Just when the situation was extremely critical, a team of fully armed reinforcements finally arrived.

Khaki military uniform, German helmet, German submachine gun, and medium-official rifle.

What came was the teaching team led by Gui Ruzhen himself!

After arriving, Gui turned his head to join the battle and assisted the 36th Division in resisting the Japanese raid troops.

On the same side, he said to Song Yin Guodao: "Brother Yin Guo, don't panic, our teaching team is here!"

Song Yinguo couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Shujin, you came so timely!

Otherwise, if I come a little later, Xuanwu Lake will probably be lost!"

Gui Ruzhen said, "Shame! I'm still late! The Japanese have almost occupied half of Nanjing!"

Song Yinguo has already determined the approximate strength of the Japanese army by fighting with the Japanese army.

The Japanese who fought head-on to death only had one regiment, and together with the two wings, there would be no more than two infantry regiments.

He first briefly analyzed the current situation, and then said: "Brother straight, the Japanese army has only five or six thousand troops. We must try our best to drive them out of the city when they are not stable, so as to save the situation in the future!"

Gui Shuzhen agreed happily: "It's just my wish!"

After pausing, Gui Shuzhen said again: "By the way, Brother Yinguo, do you know that the garrison headquarters has been occupied by the Japanese!"

"I just learned some news! Not only was the headquarters captured by the Japanese, but the headquarters radio station and secret telegram were taken away by the Japanese." Song Yinguo said with some grief and resentment: "Deputy Commander Luo, no, it should be said that Commander Luo has personally led the guard regiment to retake the headquarters."

"Yes!" Gui Zhenzhen pointed out with deep understanding: "In addition, the 87th and 88th Divisions and the Hu Ben Regiment are also on the way! It won't be long before we can get reinforcements from a large number of reinforcements."

"Yeah!" Song Yinguo nodded, "Well, but before that, let's drive the enemy in front of us out of the city first!"

Gui Shuzhen said: "Okay!"

Song Yinguo said again: "I personally led the 36th Division to launch a counterattack from the front, and I will command the teaching corps to follow up from both wings and drive out the enemy's roundabout troops!

I wonder what if you think straightforwardly?”

"No problem!" Gui Shuzhen would not doubt Song Yinguo's military command ability, and immediately nodded in agreement with his proposal.

So, the two immediately began to act separately.

Song Yinguo led his 36th Division to launch a counterattack against the enemy in front of him.

Gui Shuzhen immediately commanded the troops and divided the troops into two groups, advancing to the left and right wings towards the Japanese Marine Corps responsible for detours.

Preparing to recapture the city that had been occupied by Japanese raid troops.

"Buzz!"

“Buzz!”

However, just when Song Yin Kingdom and Gui turned their backs on their own.

A large number of fighter jets with huge bloody aunt's scarf flags were sprayed on the fuselage and suddenly appeared over Nanjing.

These Japanese fighter jets came from Shanghai to support the Nakamura Ichiki team under the order of the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army.

In order to help Nakamura Ikki's troops expand their results and completely occupy the entire city of Nanjing, the Japanese army dispatched nearly 80 naval and air force fighters.

These Japanese planes came from the sky and under the guidance of the ground troops led by Kazuki Nakamura, and began to carry out indiscriminate bombing and dive strafing on the urban areas controlled by the state army.

"hurricane!"

"Hurricane Hurricane!"

The bombs, like hens laying eggs, continued to fall from the belly of the Japanese bomber like a meteor falling to the ground.

When each bomb lands, a huge ball of fire will rise up, accompanied by a shocking explosion.

For a time, countless residential buildings were swallowed by violent explosions, and fires soared into the sky and thick smoke rose.

Countless bricks and stone rubble, accompanied by the shock waves generated by the explosion, flew everywhere.

There are countless innocent people who died tragically in the turbulent fire.

The counterattack troops led by Song Yinguo and Gui Shuzhen were naturally inevitably bombarded by Japanese fighter jets.

Many soldiers fell in pools of blood.

Under the powerful air strikes of the Japanese Navy and Air Force, Song Yinguo and others had to temporarily stop counterattack and hide in the surrounding private buildings to hide.

There is no way, the firepower of the Japanese Navy and Air Force is too strong.

Under the continuous bombing and dive strafing of dozens of fighter jets, their area was extremely surrounded by fire and thick smoke.

Not to mention charging, even the Japanese can't see anywhere.

About half an hour later.

As soon as the Japanese air strike ended, Tatsuhiko Tsuda's 149th Infantry Regiment received the order to attack and continued to attack the area where the 36th Division was located along the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, reinforcements from the 87th and 88th Divisions also arrived in time.

After clarifying the current situation, the 87th and 88th Divisions immediately joined the battle.

These two divisions are also the most elite moral teachers.

The three German divisions combined quickly withstood the charge of the 149th Japanese infantry Regiment and took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.

Gui Ruzhen also led his troops to exchange fire with the Japanese Marine Corps on the left and right wings.

Originally, the Japanese Marines wanted to fight stubbornly with the occupied city areas.

But when the 149th infantry rebels on the front attack retreated one after another, they were surrounded by the division of Chinese troops in order to avoid falling into the division of the Chinese army.

As a last resort, he had to abandon the occupied urban areas and retreat along the city walls and some streets toward Xiaguan Pier.

Gui Shuzhen immediately supervised the army to chase and gradually formed a side-by-side momentum with the frontal counterattack troops led by Song Yinguo and others.

…………

On the other side, Nakamura Ichiki had already climbed the gate of Shizuimen with Tsuda Tatsuhiko and others.

We are waiting for the good news that the front-line offensive troops will come to occupy and control the entire Nanjing city.

"Tsuda, look, this is Nanjing, the current capital of the Chinese people. It will soon crawl at the feet of my great Japanese Imperial Army!" Nakamura Ichiki stood by the wall with great enthusiasm, pointing at the city road ahead of him like a guide, pointing to the Nanjing city road ahead.

Because of his surprise attack plan, the Imperial Army was able to quickly occupy Nanjing.

I believe that it won't be long before his name will be resounding throughout the military, and it will take no time to say that he will be promoted.

Therefore, this old Japanese man was a little proud and complacent at this time, which is also normal.

Seeing that Nanjing was within reach and victory was about to be achieved, and he still had his own contribution, Tsuda Tatsuhiko's admiration for commander Kazuki Nakamura was also elevated to an unparalleled level.

So he immediately took a loud flattery and said, "It's thanks to your strange plan for taking down the capital of China so easily!"

Otherwise, the Imperial Army still doesn’t know how much casualties it will take to occupy this place!

It is a great honor to be able to fight side by side with Chief Nakamura and witness this historic moment!"

Nakamura Ichiki said modestly: "Tsuda Jun has won the award. After this battle, you will surely have a bright future! I hope we can still be loyal to the empire together in the future!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a liaison soldier ran up the horse road.

Seeing that Shiki looked panicked, Nakamura Ichiki immediately put away the smug smile on his face, then frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why are you so panicked?"

The contact soldiers did not care about salute and reported with an anxious look: "Colonel, something is wrong. The 149th Imperial Infantry Regiment was counterattacked by a large number of elite Chinese troops. They have been defeated and are now being chased by the Chinese army!

The Marine Corps was also forced to retreat because of this, and the current situation has become extremely unfavorable to the Imperial Army!"

"Nani?" Nakamura Kazuki was shocked.

Tatsuhiko Tsuda next to him was even more disbelief.

Aren’t our troops already out of power and victory in sight?

Why is the battle situation reversed in a blink of an eye?

Nakamura Ichiki calmed down his agitation, narrowed his eyes and looked at the Nanjing City ahead, and slowly spoke unwillingly: "It must be the reinforcements of the Chinese army that have arrived!

Now it seems that the fighter jets that seized and controlled the entire city have disappeared!

Order the 149th Infantry Regiment and Marine Corps to immediately shrink their forces and turn them into defense."

This old Japanese was able to come up with a vicious plan to smuggle the Yangtze River waterway to attack Nanjing, so he was naturally not a person who liked to act irritably.

Think briefly and make the current wise decision.

Tsuda Tatsuhiko was unable to keep up with Nakamura Ichiki's thoughts, and couldn't help but ask with a look of surprise: "What do you mean by sir?"

"Since the Chinese army has not collapsed across the board and fled to the city, we will definitely gather heavy troops to fight back at us in order to regain the city we occupied!" Nakamura Ichiki took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes and explained: "In this case, when we do not have the advantage in our military strength, we no longer have the strength and opportunity to seize the entire city! Of course, we must shrink our troops in time and turn to defense!"

After a pause, the old Japanese continued, "With the fire support of naval naval guns, we can defend Xiayimen and Xiaguan Wharf.

As long as you defend this area, it is equivalent to inserting a sharp dagger into the neck of the Chinese army. They will face an unfavorable situation where they are attacked from both sides and cannot gather all their forces to block the imperial army head-on!
