Chapter 131: Reinforcement of Guanghuamen (new book please watch)
In addition to the Guanghuamen position, other places such as the Purple Mountain position and the Central Gate are in danger. The entire Nanjing city's defense system is full of loopholes and is on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, the sun has already set. As soon as the sun sets, the Japanese fighter planes raging over Nanjing City will disappear, and the pressure on the defenders will be greatly reduced.
Although the casualties caused by Japanese aircraft to front-line troops are far less than those of infantry on the ground, the psychological pressure they cause to the defenders is no less than that of infantry. After all, the vast majority of Chinese soldiers still have little regard for high-tech weapons such as aircraft. Don't quite understand.
Because we don¡¯t understand, we feel fear. This is human instinct. This is just like why the ancients worshiped natural phenomena. The reason is that they don¡¯t understand and are afraid of the unknown.
Night fell, but the artillery fire in Nanjing City, which had been fighting for a whole day, still did not stop. Instead, it became more intense because the defenders took advantage of the night to launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops who broke into the city.
However, this does not matter much to the independent brigade, because from the beginning, Tang Shengzhi and others did not regard them as a main force, nor did they think of asking them to support the front-line troops in operations. After all, Li Guoyao's companies The defeated army, which had only a few wooden sticks, went up to deliver food to the little devil.
However, after Li Guoyao's troops entered the city, the order in the city instantly improved a lot. Not only were a large number of refugees and ordinary citizens sent outside the city, but because there were fewer people, the Japanese squad that had sneaked into the city in advance suddenly had no cover. Since the afternoon of yesterday, several groups had been eliminated by Li Guoyao's troops.
In addition, in the past two days, many fires in Nanjing City were put out by Li Guoyao's troops, saving many famous ancient buildings from the war. Therefore, the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters selectively forgot about the Independence Brigade.
For Li Guoyao, the most difficult days are coming, and the good days of the Independent Brigade are coming to an end.
Although everyone is very tired and busy these days, compared to other troops in Nanjing City, the Independence Brigade is living like a fairy. You must know that these days, whether it is the Central Army or local warlords, , they were all fighting to the death with the little devils. The casualties in such a fierce battle were to be expected.
As far as Li Guoyao knew, in this defense war, not only more than 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were massacred, but also a large number of officers were killed. More than 10 generals died alone, and 17 regimental commanders and deputy regimental commanders also died. There were more than 50 senior cadres, and the loss of soldiers was as high as 40%. The price was heavy.
But because everyone does not regard their independent brigade as a front-line field force, the independent brigade has not exchanged fire with the Japanese army until now. It only killed a few Japanese squads in the city, with minimal casualties.
However, as the city of Nanjing was broken and the Japanese troops entered the city, the defenders retreated steadily until they collapsed on the afternoon of the 12th. The Independent Brigade would inevitably have to fight the Japanese army. By then, the Independent Brigade would also suffer casualties like those troops that had previously guarded Nanjing City. And there were still widespread casualties.
The only good thing is that after a day of hard work today, more than 100,000 people have been sent outside the city. At this time, there are not many refugees in the city.
Not only did the number of refugees decrease significantly, but the number of ordinary people in Nanjing was also not very large. This saved the defenders a lot of trouble when fighting and did not need to worry too much about the casualties of the ordinary people in the city.
According to the estimation of Li Guoyao and others, within one day at most, all the refugees in the city will be able to leave the city. The rest either don¡¯t want to leave or can¡¯t leave. With this population, the Japanese are just trying to maintain their most basic image. Don't go too far. If you kill all the remaining people, Nanjing will become an empty city.
So from now on, Li Guoyao has to consider how to retreat the troops in the city. Although this matter should be considered by Tang Shengzhi, the garrison commander, it is definitely not something that he, a small major general and brigade commander, can intervene.
But Li Guoyao knew that it was better to forget about counting on Tang Shengzhi. That guy boasted loudly before the war, about living or dying with Nanjing City, and never retreating until the last person was fighting, etc. At that point, this old boy was the third One abandoned the city and fled.
What¡¯s more important is that this old boy escaped without telling anyone else, so that hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing instantly became a mess, and were finally picked up by the little Japanese.
" Tang Shengzhi didn't care about it, but Li Guoyao couldn't care about it. You must know that during the massacre by the Japs, the most killed were the military police who laid down their weapons and the defeated soldiers. Li Guoyao would never give them this chance.
In the underground command room of Nanjing Police Station, Li Guoyao is working on the mapSitting in a daze, Ma Desheng walked in with a stack of clothes, came to Li Guoyao's side and said: "Brigade seat, this is what the garrison headquarters has just sent to you, put it on!"
Li Guoyao took a look and saw that it was a new set of general officer uniforms. He then picked it up, looked at it and said, "Is this the one you sent?"
"In addition to your general uniforms, the garrison headquarters also sent you more than 20 sets of school uniforms. They said they were sent by Deputy Commander Luo!" Ma Desheng said.
¡°Well, pack it up, we won¡¯t need it now!¡± Li Guoyao said.
"Why don't you use it? Let's dress the brothers in such awe-inspiring fashion!" Ma Desheng said.
"You're so majestic. I think you're impatient. The majesty you wear on the battlefield is useless. Believe it or not, if you put on this woolen coat and walk around the front line, I'm afraid you'll be beaten by little devils as soon as you get up there. The special shooter has been solved!"
Li Guoyao knew that although the Japs did not have regular snipers, there were many special marksmen with amazing marksmanship in the army. These were simplified versions of snipers on the Japanese battlefield.
These people specifically target Chinese commanders, and people wearing woolen coats are the targets of these people. Many mistakes were made on the Songhu battlefield because they were not familiar with these, and they really suffered a big loss.
Hearing Li Guoyao's words, Ma Desheng immediately remembered his previous experience on the battlefield in Shanghai, and immediately said: "I understand my humble position!"
"Old Ma, you can let go of formal things. The more inconspicuous a person is on the battlefield, the easier it is for him to survive, because the more inconspicuous he is, the less likely others will notice his existence, and vice versa. Therefore, our independent brigade Not only now, but also in the future, do not wear officer uniforms in informal situations!" Li Guoyao said.
"yes!"
"By the way, how is the situation on the battlefield now?" Li Guoyao asked again.
"It's not good. The Sixth Division of the Little Devils is attacking the Central Gate, and the Ninth Division is attacking Guanghua Gate. Moreover, part of the main force has entered the city. The 259th Brigade and the 261st Brigade of the 87th Division are coming from its side. They then encircled and counterattacked from the front. They have been fighting bloody battles for half a day and night, but the situation is still unclear!" said Ma Desheng.
Li Guoyao thought for a while and said, "Do we have troops over there at Guanghua Gate?"
"No, but Ni Zhiliang and Gao Hu's Fifth Guard Regiment are building a second line of defense in Shangshu Lane, two kilometers behind Guanghua Gate!" Ma Desheng replied.
"Immediately call Ni Zhiliang's headquarters and ask them to send a battalion to Guanghuamen immediately, with Gao Hu leading the team. The rest of the troops will continue to build fortifications and stand ready! Get ready for battle!" Li Guoyao said.
"My lord, are you worried that the 87th Division won't be able to hold on?" Ma Desheng said.
"It's not that I'm worried, but the 87th Division will definitely not be able to hold on for too long!" Li Guoyao said.
"Why? The 87th Division is the Central Army's German Armament Division. It is the best in the national army in terms of the quality of its soldiers and weapons and equipment. How come they can't hold on after just a few days of fighting?"
Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "The 87th Division you are talking about three months ago, but after the bloody battle on the Shanghai battlefield, the 87th Division was almost crippled. As far as I know, the 87th Division participated in the Battle of Nanjing. The total number of the entire division is less than 6,000. After these days of consumption, how many do you think they have left?"
In fact, the reason why Li Guoyao was so sure was not because of these, but because he knew that after the Japanese army invaded Guanghuamen, the 87th Division defending the area would defeat the enemy 9th Division that broke into the city after a day and night of bloody fighting. All the commandos were wiped out and the original defensive posture was restored.
However, the two brigades of the 87th Division also suffered heavy casualties in the counterattack. Most of the platoon, company, battalion, regiment commanders and many soldiers were sacrificed. Even the commander of the 259th Brigade, Yi Anhua, also died in this battle. , and then the Ninth Division entered the city through Guanghua Gate.
"Wouldn't it be good for us to go into battle without asking for permission? Do you want to say hello to the garrison headquarters?"
"No need, just do as I say!" Li Guoyao said forcefully.
"yes!"
