Pukou, Second Infantry Division Headquarters
"Wei Gang! Remember, I will give you one last chance! If you still can't successfully cross the river this time, you have to write your resignation yourself!"
While Zhou Weiguo was asking about the situation of the troops on the front line, Zhang Xingchen was giving lectures.
The attacks for several consecutive days have not gone smoothly because air cover and heavy artillery support cannot be carried out. In addition, the water level of the Yangtze River is now rising, and the water flow in this section of Nanjing is very fast.
So much so that their attacks were repelled by the little devils. From here we can see why the historical cross-river battle was launched before May.
It is because after the flood season arrives, the water level of the Yangtze River rises and the flow will be very fast
"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely capture the Japanese shore positions this time!"
Now the little devils on the bank of the Yangtze River have not only suffered heavy losses, but the key is that their ammunition is about to run out.
This morning¡¯s attack almost succeeded, but in the end it was because the water flow was too strong. The troops behind did not catch up in time.
So that the troops who had landed were driven down the Yangtze River.
Although they were driven down in the end, based on the gunshots of the little Japs, Zhang Xingchen and others judged that the Japs' ammunition was probably insufficient.
So after noon, Zhang Xingchen and the others once again made sufficient preparations to capture the shore position at one o'clock this afternoon.
"I don't want to promise! Wei Gang, you have to remember that this is our first battle here, and we must win! The street fighting in Nanjing is in full swing now. If we can break into Nanjing at this time and rescue the The more than 100,000 prisoners of war in the Yuhuatai area, this is a great achievement, do you understand?"
Although Zhang Xingchen is an upright soldier, as a soldier, he still wants his troops to be valued by his superiors, and that he is commanding an elite army, instead of being gradually forgotten by his superiors and ending up commanding a second-rate army.
"Yes! This time I am willing to issue a military order. If we cannot capture the Japanese position, I will come to see you!"
¡°I don¡¯t want your head, I just want the Japanese positions!¡±
?¡
Huang Weigang left, and Zhang Xingchen handed over the task of crossing the river to their 15th Brigade.
The battle to cross the river began again.
One by one, wooden boats or small steamers began to sail towards the other side of the river.
This time the little devils did not fire any more artillery shells, because all their artillery shells were used up in the past few days.
And the ammunition depots in Nanjing have been exhausted.
The little devils on the opposite bank were all aiming their guns at the soldiers of the Second Infantry Division who were beginning to approach them.
But they didn¡¯t fire, it was still too far away, they were still waiting.
After a while, as the soldiers of the Second Infantry Division approached the river bank, they started shooting.
A series of Type 92 heavy machine guns began to roar continuously.
Huang Weigang, who was on the other side of the river, kept looking at the situation on the other side with a telescope.
"It seems that the little devils are indeed running out of ammunition! Their firepower has actually been reduced by nearly one-third."
Huang Weigang put down the telescope and said softly.
In the past few days, the firepower of the Japs has been continuously weakening. According to this morning's performance, the Japanese army can no longer stop their attack this time.
¡°duang¡ªduang!¡±
The first wooden boat began to dock, and then the soldiers on it jumped off the boat as quickly as possible and began to use their weapons to suppress the enemy's firepower.
They were the first troops to land, and their mission was to suppress the Japanese firepower.
Apart from this, they don¡¯t need to worry about anything else. They just suppress the enemy's firepower.
As time passed, more and more soldiers began to land on the river bank, and the firepower of the Japs became weaker and weaker. It seemed that their ammunition was about to run out.
Now they have only five heavy and light machine guns and Type 38 rifles left shooting.
Their ammunition has been exhausted. I believe that after the bullets of the five heavy machine guns are exhausted, their heavy machine guns will stop completely.
When general-purpose machine guns began to be set up on the river bank, the firepower of the little devils was immediately suppressed.
As more and more people landed, the firepower of the Japs seemed to be getting weaker, and even the five heavy machine guns had stopped shooting.
"The little devil's position is taken"??! It seems that the little devil really has no ammunition. Not long after the attack started, all their heavy machine guns actually misfired. "
Huang Weigang on the other side put down the telescope in his hand with a smile on his face.
Although they are still fighting, the little devils without ammunition cannot stop their attack
In Nanjing City, Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters
Yanjunliu stood there quietly, behind him were the commander of the 3rd Division, Susumu Fujita, and the commander of the 116th Division, Shimizu Yishige.
"Do you still have 3,000 people left in your two divisions combined?"
Looking at the sunset outside, Yan Junliu¡¯s face showed neither sadness nor joy. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
"Ha~yi~"
Susumu Fujita and Yoshige Shimizu replied with some shame.
¡°The first batch of troops reinforced by the empire, the 51st Division, the 52nd Division, and the 53rd Division, are currently being intercepted by the 134th Division of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army in Wuxi.
The second batch of seven reinforcement divisions has also landed in Shanghai. They sent a telegram asking us to hold on for another three days. Within three days, they will definitely be able to break through the 88th Army's defenses in the Wuxi area. Get to Nanjing within seven days! "
Susumu Fujita and Yoshige Shimizu did not answer, and they did not know how to answer.
Now they have 3,000 troops left in their hands. Although it is not very accurate, the specific data will not be too different from this.
"Fujita-kun, Shimizu-kun, are you ready?"
"Ha~yi~ be loyal to the empire!"
Yan Junliu looked at them for a while before waving. There is nothing more to say now.
With a force of about three thousand men, no matter what the final outcome of this battle is, their fate is already decided.
?¡
May 31, 1938
The Eighty-Eighth Group Army slowly surrounded the remaining Japanese troops in the Central China Expedition Army Headquarters area.
And now, the Japanese army only has about a thousand troops left.
By now, everyone knows that Nanjing has been conquered.
As for whether Nanjing can be saved, it depends on the combat effectiveness of the Japanese reinforcements below!
Yan Junliu was in a room in the headquarters, which he decorated in a Japanese style.
This is also a place where he rests. Today he is sitting here, wearing a white shirt on his upper body. There is a knife stand on the low table in front of him, with two samurai swords, one long and one short.
Holding a towel, he kept wiping the short katana.
Susumu Fujita and Yishige Shimizu are directing the battle not far outside the headquarters. They have decided to live or die with the position.
The gunshots that kept ringing outside and the gunshots that kept approaching showed that the Eighty-Eighth Group Army was about to reach his headquarters.
He was the only one left in his headquarters at this time.
Everyone else has taken up arms and gone to the front lines.
After a long time, he put down the towel, and the samurai sword in his hand reflected a gleam of light under the light. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
