Chapter 140: Bloody Battle at Yuhuatai (Part 2)
After hanging up the phone, Li Guoyao felt a little excited. The Battle of Yuhuatai can be said to be a turning point in the entire battle to defend Nanjing. As the 88th Division suffered all casualties and the position was captured by the Japanese, huge holes appeared in the entire Nanjing city's defense. Then, This caused Tang Shengzhi and others to panic. Less than an hour after the fall of Yuhuatai, Tang Shengzhi and others abandoned the city and fled. The Nanjing city's defenders subsequently collapsed completely.
After preparing for so many days, Li Guoyao has been waiting for this moment. It can be said that from now on, their independent brigade will become the protagonist of the entire Nanjing city.
But Li Guoyao also knows that how long he can be the protagonist depends on how long the frontline troops can persist, especially at Yuhuatai.
You must know that Yuhuatai can be said to be the most important position in the entire city of Nanjing. If Yuhuatai can be defended, it will not matter much even if Purple Mountain and other places are lost, because as long as the positions in the direction of Yuhuatai are not in great danger, the Japanese army It would be impossible to kill Yijiangmen for a while.
No matter what, the battle to defend Nanjing entered its final moments, and it was finally the turn of their independent brigade to take the stage.
Thinking of this, Li Guoyao said to Ma Desheng: "Old Ma, send someone to the garrison headquarters immediately to have a look!"
"Brigadier, what are you looking at?" Ma Desheng asked puzzledly.
"Let's see if our Tang chief has abandoned the city and fled. If they have escaped, then we should take action!"
"No, sir, even if Commander Tang and the others are evacuating, they should at least notify us before evacuating, right? Besides, the city of Nanjing has not yet run out of ammunition and food, and they can still persist even in street fighting. How could Chief Tang and the others escape without saying a word for three or two days?" Ma Desheng asked in surprise.
"You don't need to worry about this. Listen to me and send someone to the garrison headquarters immediately to check the situation!" Li Guoyao said.
"yes!"
Seeing Ma Desheng turning away, Li Guoyao showed an inexplicable smile. The result may surprise his chief of staff!
As far as Li Guoyao knew, when the Japanese army captured Yuhuatai, Tang Shengzhi, who realized that the situation was not good, abandoned the city and fled. Since Chiang Kai-shek had given him an order to retreat in advance, he did not even have the courage to escape this time. After reporting to the Military Commission, he immediately withdrew from his garrison headquarters with a group of guards. He hurriedly ordered the staff to issue a vague retreat order to each unit, and then jumped on a small fireboat he had reserved privately in advance to cross the river and escape. .
But Tang Shengzhi never thought that his panicked escape would inevitably cause a series of problems, especially for the combat staff of the garrison headquarters. You, the commander-in-chief, fled as if your parents were dead. Now, those combat staff members still dare to stay at the headquarters?
Therefore, although Tang Shengzhi ordered the staff officers to issue retreat orders to the front-line troops, only a few troops actually received calls from the garrison headquarters. The vast majority of the troops did not receive any news at all and were still there stupidly. Shopping with little devils.
The city of Nanjing was not captured by the Japanese army at all, but was lost when the defenders collapsed on their own after the defenders generals escaped. On the morning of the 13th, the Japanese troops secretly climbed onto the Nanjing city wall, only to find that there was no one on the wall. The Chinese defenders The army had already disappeared. When the Japanese army entered Nanjing to track the fleeing National Army troops, they were still surprised that the Chinese army, which had been fighting a bloody battle with them yesterday, suddenly collapsed collectively.
More importantly, it was just that the front-line troops did not receive the order to retreat. Even the supervising team guarding Yijiangmen and the north bank of the Yangtze River did not receive the order. The role of these two troops is not to defend the city, but to prevent the troops from collapsing and supervise the battle.
As a result, some troops on the front line who received orders to withdraw were blocked by Song Xilian's troops when they retreated to Yijiang Gate. The two sides immediately started a fierce battle. Afterwards, although the troops in the city rushed out of Yijiang Gate, they found that they had no tools to cross the river, and even While crossing the river, Yu was bombed by troops from the north of the Yangtze River, causing numerous casualties.
¡°In short, these are all good things done by that bitch Tang Shengzhi. If he had some sense of responsibility, such things would not happen.
Li Guoyao didn't think there was anything wrong with Tang Shengzhi abandoning the city and fleeing. After all, the battle to defend Nanjing had been fought like a bird. It didn't matter whether he defended it or not. In addition, the battle to defend Nanjing had been going on for more than a week, so he could explain it to the people. Well, it doesn't matter if we evacuate Nanjing at this time.
But the problem now is not that we failed to hold on, but how to retreat completely and orderly. Nanjing still hasWhat needs to be observed is to express an attitude, otherwise we will lose too much political points. This was the same as the subsequent defeat in Changsha. The defense could not be defended, but the troops could not fall into the river and drown, nor could they lose control.
It¡¯s okay for you to retreat, but you have to figure out how to retreat, right?
There is no specific retreat plan like this, and the so-called retreat turned into a huge rout in the blink of an eye. What the hell is this?
There were no covering troops, no retreat routes, and no means of transportation. The garrison headquarters issued a vague retreat order, and then the hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjing fell into disarray. Looking at the world's military This kind of thing is unheard of in history.
Therefore, the first thing Li Guoyao needs to determine now is whether the big guys at the garrison headquarters have really escaped. If they have really escaped, then they must immediately send troops to notify the troops in the city and ask them to follow the rules formulated by Li Guoyao. The retreat plan is to retreat, so as to ensure the smooth withdrawal of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjing City to the other side of the river.
Otherwise, just relying on that bullshit order given by that stupid pig Tang Shengzhi, the consequences would be really unimaginable!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???
At this time, the Yuhuatai position has entered the final battle. There are less than a hundred people left in the 88th Division of the defenders. They are fighting hand-to-hand with the Japanese army that is several times their size. The destruction is irreversible.
??If the fight continues like this, the 88th Division's troops will be completely wiped out in ten minutes at most.
The only good thing is that because the terrain of Yuhuatai is not very open, the Japs can't put too many troops into combat at once, so the Japanese troops that rush into the front-line positions only have less than one infantry brigade, and they only have five or six hundred people.
After boarding the Yuhuatai position from the side, Lu Wenlong immediately ordered his troops to join the battle and drive out all the Japanese troops who rushed into the position.
"Kill"
A large number of reinforcements suddenly appeared behind the defenders, which shocked the Japanese on the position. When the remaining defenders saw that the reinforcements had arrived, their morale was greatly boosted and they fought harder.
Since Lu Wenlong brought a total of two regiments this time, the total force reached more than 6,000 people. The huge force instantly overwhelmed the five or six hundred little Japs.
Although the Japanese commander who was watching the battle behind realized that the situation was not good, he immediately sent a large number of troops to come up for reinforcements. However, before they could rush forward, some soldiers from the independent brigade rushed into the two-wing positions and blocked the oncoming Japanese reinforcements.
At this time, the main position of Yuhuatai was full of shouts of killing inside and outside. There were nearly two thousand Chinese and Japanese troops fighting in a flesh-and-blood battle. On the two flanks, there were a large number of troops blocking the Japanese reinforcements from rushing up. In terms of the situation, Still very weird.
But whether it was Lu Wenlong, Xue Dengyu or Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, the commander of the Japanese Sixth Division who was in charge of front-line command, they all understood that the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who rushed into the position were the key. If the defenders wanted to hold Yuhuatai, they must attack those hundreds of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers were killed, and if the Japanese army wanted to capture Yuhuatai, they had to ensure that the hundreds of soldiers on the garrison position were safe and sound. Only with their cooperation could they completely occupy Yuhuatai.
Under this situation, both the Chinese defenders and the Japanese army could only try their best, and then the two sides started a fierce battle again at Yuhuatai.
