War of Resistance

Chapter 259 Railroad Encounter
The existence of the reconnaissance force is very necessary, but it is because the penetration regiment is a mixture of temporary emergency teams, and there is not even a guard platoon, let alone a special agent company or a reconnaissance company.

At this time in China, there were scouts, but the existence of reconnaissance companies was relatively small, it can be said that there were almost none.

Therefore, when the Zhiyi regiment was formed, Zhang Tianhai trained and trained the spy company as a reconnaissance company.

It was only because he knew the outcome of the Nanjing Defense War that Zhang Tianhai purposely expanded the spy company until it became as strong as half a battalion before crossing the river.

The reconnaissance company is gone, so I can only catch a few fast-running brothers to serve as the reconnaissance company, oh no, the role of the reconnaissance platoon.

Under the night, the Jiangnan Railway was still silent, except for the hurried footsteps of officers, soldiers and ordinary people, there was no other sound.

Just hurrying on the road without making a sound, this seemed to form a tacit understanding among the people, yes, this was Zhang Tianhai's underground order.

Everyone's faces showed exhaustion, and Zhang Tianhai was no exception. He was not allowed to rest for two consecutive days and two nights, and just fell asleep for a while, even a strong man couldn't stand it.

Go, or you will die if you don't go.Zhang Tianhai said silently in his heart.

It was already the night of NO.14, and the massacre had already begun. The brutal Japanese army slaughtered wantonly in Nanjing, a city that had been burned to pieces by the war. The purge was carried out with a grand welcome ceremony held by the Prince".

This so-called "clearance operation", as the name suggests, is to clear out the broken troops mixed into the refugee area in Nanjing City, in order to prevent accidents during the city entry ceremony.

Thus, under the order and tacit connivance of Commander Matsui Iwane of the Japanese Dispatched Army in Central China and King Hatohiko Asaka, Commander of the Japanese Dispatched Army in Shanghai, the Nanjing Massacre, which shocked the world, began.

Yes, Takahashi Masaobu's westward detachment and the main force of Dizhou Libing No.13 Division were transferred back to Nanjing in order to carry out a brutal massacre of 30 soldiers and civilians in Nanjing!

Zhang Tianhai knew that the massacre had already begun, but he had already done his best——in the face of the rolling torrent of history, any individual's power was very small.

"Go! Hurry up, speed up!" Zhang Tianhai shouted in a hoarse voice.

However, Zhang Tianhai's yelling was almost in vain. Everyone's physical strength was on the verge of collapse. It was already very good to be able to walk, let alone run forward.

The night was still bleak, but there was a little enthusiasm in the retreating team.

The battle song sends people away, and pedestrians want to die.

……

Jiro Tanaka is a soldier of the 124th Wing. Like other officers and soldiers in the Wing, he is also from Fukuoka City. He was ordered to go north this late at night, and he did not have too many worries.

After all, the rest of the regiment came up in the same way. Through the battle with the Chinese army, he felt that these Chinese troops were not considered strong, and their equipment was even said to be backward. From the Chinese soldiers who died in battle, they found that these soldiers Even came here wearing straw sandals.

Yes, the previous opponent of the 124th Regiment was the No. 20 First Army of Tang Shizun of the Sichuan Army.

Like these ordinary soldiers, the commander of the regiment, Fujita Shigenobu, thought that this Chinese army was not strong. You must know that the No.18 Division was also one of the troops that landed from Hangzhou Bay.

The No.18 division fought against the non-main force of the Chinese army after landing. It was not until they reached the front line of Si'an and Guangde that they were blocked by the three main divisions of the Sichuan army. However, the Sichuan army was the most equipped. Poor troops, so it caused an incomparable arrogance to the No.18 division.

As for the German weapon divisions in China, the Central Army, aren’t they all disabled in Shanghai, the Third Division, the No.13 Division, etc.... or even lost?

Even if there were, there must not be many left in the defense of Nanjing. The so-called no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. Underestimate the combat power of the Chinese army.

Therefore, Shigenobu Fujita did not find this task difficult. Even though the Division Headquarters sent a telegram saying that the No. 13 Regiment and the [-]th Regiment heading south along the Jiangnan Railway had withdrawn, they still did not arouse their attention. attention.

Moreover, the words "the enemy's fighting power is very fierce" have been marked in the telegram, which only made Fujita Shigenobu issue an order "the outpost troops must strengthen their vigilance".

In the Battle of Si'an and Guangde, although the brothers of the Sichuan Army resisted desperately, the ease with which the Japanese army captured the outer positions of Si'an made Fujita Shigenobu and the [-]st, [-]th Regiment believe that the Chinese army's combat effectiveness was no more than that, and it was possible to escape from Nanjing. The army that came out was even more of an army that had discarded its helmets and armor. How could it be compared with the elite of the empire, the [-]th Regiment?
The squadron that Jiro Tanaka belongs to is the advancing troops of the [-]st, [-]th and [-]th regiments. After all, they are in charge of clearing the way, so his squadron leader Yada asked the officers and soldiers of the squadron to advance at full speed. Victory lays a solid foundation.

In the darkness, Jiro Tanaka was the vanguard who rushed the fastest.

Jiro Tanaka's physical strength is the best in the entire squadron, and it is not surprising that he can rush to the front.

The shining bayonet was already on the muzzle of the gun, and the Japanese soldiers ran forward quickly one by one, running on the stone road with the sound of "chua", "chua", "chua".

A series of dazzling flashlights were directed forward, illuminating the front completely brightly.

"Ergou, what's in front? Why is there a light?" One of the soldiers who was selected by Liu Houming to play the role of the reconnaissance squad asked.

The soldier who was called Ergou suddenly changed his face. He pulled a soldier beside him and said, "Quick, go back and report to the commander. It's the devil. The devil's army is here!"

"Yes!" The soldier responded, and immediately ran back quickly. If one's own side was not prepared enough and thus fought an encounter, then the situation would be extremely unfavorable to one's own side!

Therefore, this situation must not happen.

"Tanaka-kun, Tanaka-kun!" A Japanese soldier running behind Jiro Tanaka called out to the former.

"What's the matter, Ozawa-kun?" After hearing the shout, Jiro Tanaka slowed down his pace.

"That...Tanaka-kun, did you hear any sound, it seems to be the sound of a diesel engine starting." The soldier named Ozawa pricked up his ears, but said uncertainly.
