Chapter 127: The Battle on December 9th (Please read the new book)
Nanjing Police Station. Independent Brigade Temporary Brigade Headquarters.
The underground command room of the police station was very busy. Since shells fell into the city from time to time outside, and there were constant bombings from Japs' fighter planes overhead, Li Guoyao moved the command headquarters from upstairs to the basement to avoid being shot by Japs. The bombs were reimbursed.
"Report, the garrison headquarters called, Japanese aerial bombs fell in the area of ??Zhonghuamen Confucius Temple, and many buildings were on fire. The garrison headquarters ordered our troops to go put out the fire immediately!"
Li Guoyao immediately asked: "Which troops do we have near Zhonghua Gate now?"
"Report, the 1st Battalion of the 4th Guard Regiment is building fortifications near Zhonghua Gate!"
¡°Then let them go there to put out the fire!¡±
"yes!"
"Report, the Second Guard Regiment gathered more than 400 broken soldiers from the vicinity of Dayang Department Store and prepared to send them to the police station, but they were stopped by people from Sun Yuanliang's 88th Division!"
Li Guoyao frowned and said, "Don't worry about them. Let our people continue to collect the defeated troops and escort the people out of the city. Don't conflict with any troops for the time being!"
"yes!"
After the combat staff left, Chief of Staff Ma Desheng said angrily: "Damn it, isn't this an open robbery? You don't take our independent brigade seriously!"
Li Guoyao said calmly: "Can't you stand it?"
"Brigade, the garrison headquarters is just asking for people from us. Who is Sun Yuanliang? Why should he directly block our people? If he wants people, will he send his own people to collect the defeated troops?"
"Because he is a direct descendant of the Central Army, the confidant of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and a German weapon master! Also because we are the Northeast Army, a miscellaneous army that neither father nor mother loves. Do you have any objections?"
"Fuckthen let's just forget it?" Manchu asked with a frown.
"Forget it? Haha, the days are long and there are plenty of opportunities!"
Then Li Guoyao didn't care about the officers and staff present, and said coldly: "Sun Yuanliang is a bitch who dares to rob me. One day, he will spit out even the profits he made!"
Just as he was talking, a combat staff officer hurried in from outside with a few pieces of paper and said loudly: "Report, the little devil's plane is flying these leaflets into the city!"
Taking what the combat staff handed over, Li Guoyao frowned after looking at it twice. This turned out to be a surrender letter from the Central China Front Army of the Little Japanese.
"Millions of imperial troops have swept across the south of the Yangtze River, and the city of Nanjing is also under siege. The general trend of the war has become extremely obvious. Therefore, any resistance in the future will be harmful but useless. The land of Jiangning is the capital of China in the past and the capital of the Republic of China. The Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty and the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum are all located here, which is truly the essence of East Asian culture. The imperial army will take extremely severe measures against those who resist, and will never condone them. However, they will punish the Chinese people and the non-hostile Chinese army. To show your enthusiasm for the protection of East Asian culture. If your army continues to resist, the disaster of Nanjing will be inevitable, thousands of years of culture will be reduced to ashes, and ten years of construction will be in vain. On behalf of the Japanese army, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you Your army has given advice and hopes to make contact according to the following steps to peacefully open the city of NanjingThe Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Army, Matsui Iwane."
After reading this letter of persuasion to surrender, the look on Li Guoyao's face became serious. It is also recorded in the history books that the Japanese army airdropped the letter of persuasion to surrender. After the Japanese army made arrangements to attack the city, at noon on December 9, Matsui Iwane sent a military envoy. A letter of advice was sent to Tang Shengzhi to surrender in Kaicheng at noon on the 10th. Subsequently, enemy planes also dropped a large number of this announcement over Nanjing.
However, Tang Shengzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Garrison, flatly rejected the letter of advice sent by the Japanese envoy and ordered him to leave the front line immediately.
Li Guoyao knew that from now on, the battle to defend Nanjing would enter a countdown, because the Japanese army had now completed the siege of Nanjing from five directions, and even Jiangxinzhou in Jiangbei had been occupied by the Japanese army.
The previous attacks were just appetizers. After Tang Shengzhi refused the Japanese army's persuasion to surrender, the real bloody battle would officially begin.
Sure enough, starting from the afternoon, the Japanese attack became more fierce.
As the Japanese army strengthened their offensive, bad news came one after another. First, the first line of defensive positions outside Nanjing City was completely captured. The Japanese army then attacked the second line of defensive positions of the garrison on the outskirts of Nanjing, mainly in the Purple Mountain area.
At the same time, in addition to the 16th Division's attack on Zijin Mountain, the 8th Battalion of the 35th Regiment of the 9th Division also attacked the mountainous area of ??Zijin Mountain near Taiping Gate of Nanjing City, which was already very close to Nanjing City.
Because of the presence of Japanese troops here,This attack had a huge impact on the defenders in the direction of Zhongshan Gate and Guanghua Gate, because the terrain of Purple Mountain is slightly higher than Zhongshan Gate and Guanghua Gate. Once the Japanese army captured this place, after all, it would form a condescending and favorable condition for the defenders. The defense is extremely disadvantageous.
Guarding the Guanghuamen position were Yi Anhua's 259th Brigade and Chen Yiding's 261st Brigade of Shen Fazao's 87th Division. They were one of the most elite German weapon divisions of the Nationalist Government. The officers and soldiers of these two brigades fought in Shanghai. performed extremely bravely.
The original mission of the department was to withdraw from Zhenjiang to Jiangbei and take charge of operations in northern Jiangsu. However, the officers and soldiers unanimously requested to participate in the battle to defend the national capital Nanjing to add to the glorious combat history of the Army's 87th Division, and the result was approved.
Facing the Japanese attack on the Guanghuamen position, the 87th Division fought very bravely. Under unfavorable terrain conditions, it blocked the attack of the Japanese 9th Division.
In addition, the Chinese army was frantically attacked by the Japanese army on the Wulongshan-Shangqiaomen-Yuhuatai line. The defenders refused to retreat. The battle was extremely fierce. Chinese officers and soldiers fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders one after another. and repeated fights.
By the afternoon of December 9, the Japanese army used fierce artillery fire to destroy many city walls, and a small number of Japanese troops rushed into Guanghua Gate, Tongji Gate and Zhonghua Gate many times. After several fierce battles, the Chinese army successively eliminated the intruders. The Japanese troops in these city gates have temporarily stabilized their positions.
The fighting outside the city was fierce, and it was not easy for Li Guoyao and others in the city. Apart from spending part of the day putting out fires, the entire brigade was constantly collecting broken troops and escorting people out of the city.
In one day, they escorted more than 80,000 people out of the city from Yijiang Gate alone.
There was no way. Due to the Japanese siege, artillery shells fell into the city. Many people and refugees who had no time to evacuate or had never thought of evacuating Nanjing were anxious. No one knew when the artillery shells were fired from outside the city. It falls on one's own head. Anyone with some conditions dare not stay in the city. Therefore, the number of people leaving the city today reached a new high.
However, although the number of people leaving the city increased several times, the number of ships at Shimonoseki Pier not only did not increase much, but many were sunk due to the arrival of Japanese warships, and the transportation capacity did not increase but decreased.
Fortunately, the Japanese also discovered that the boats crossing the river were all small fishing boats, and the boats were filled with ordinary people, so they did not make any further attacks except ramming and sinking a few small boats.
Of course, another reason is that Li Guoyao ordered people to occupy the Xiaguan Fort, and then used the coastal defense guns on the fort to continuously attack Japanese warships.
Due to the limited water volume in the Yangtze River waterway, and the fact that the Chinese Navy sank a large number of old warships in the Yangtze River waterway during the Jiangyin Naval Battle, the Japanese large and medium-sized warships were unable to enter the Yangtze River at all, and all that came in front were light cruisers. , the combat effectiveness is not very strong.
In addition, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, there were also a large number of Nationalist troops stationed, and there were also naval guns, so that after the little Japanese warships were hit, they behaved a lot and did not disturb Li Guoyao and others who were rushing to transport people across the river.
But even so, throughout the whole day of December 9, they only transported more than 18,000 people to the other side of the river. Nearly 100,000 people waiting to cross the river gathered near the Xiaguan Pier.
The situation was very critical. Li Guoyao knew very well that if there was no major turning point in history, Chiang Kai-shek would order the defenders of Nanjing to retreat on December 12. By then, the entire Nanjing city would be in chaos, so there was really not much time left for them. too much.

PS: The first chapter has been delivered, and the second chapter is expected to be around 10:30!
In addition, I want to talk to you about the issue of updating. The author said that he should update as much as possible and try to ensure that the minimum update of two chapters is updated to three or four chapters at the same time. From the author's personal point of view, he still hopes to write more. , because the guarantee for this book is pretty good, and thanks to one chapter, I can earn a few hundred dollars. But the update also depends on the status. Secondly, a few days ago, a friend in the author's circle died suddenly due to continuous coding. It was only a few days later that people discovered that the computer screen was still on at that time, which was really sad.
This thing really irritated the author. Some time ago, in order to code words, he updated two books every day with 8 chapters and about 25,000 words. He coded for more than ten hours every day. He was almost paralyzed from exhaustion and his body couldn't bear it. ah!
In short, I will try my best to write updates. After all, the author also has to make money to support his family, but he will not accept abusive reminders!
