Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 183 The Donald Duck fiasco cannot be repeated!

The defense of Nanjing was fought very fiercely.It's not the one-touch collapse as rumored.

The Chinese defenders fought very bravely, and many Chinese heroes emerged.

During the battles at Zijin Mountain, Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum and Xishan in Nanjing, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army suffered a tenacious counterattack from the Teaching Corps.

In the Yuhuatai battle, the 88th Division of the Chinese garrison resisted the 6th Division of the Japanese Army with one division, and the 114th Division had two divisions.

And not only that, the 88th Division also caused the Japanese army to lose a large number of officers. Only the 6th Division was killed in battle, and dozens of squadron leaders were injured.

Regarding the battle situation at that time, any history of the Japanese army spoke highly of the combat effectiveness of the 88th Division.

In the Japanese military history, it was written like this:
"They (the Chinese defenders), in the face of the Japanese Asura-like bloody battle, did not flee, but risked their lives to stop the Japanese army.

They counterattacked violently for a whole day and night, and fought to the end under the slogan of "all fight to death". Some were robbed to death, and some were stabbed to death by bayonets.The trenches left piles of rifles, machine gun casings, and countless fallen bodies.

The 47rd, 23th, and 13th Wings, which were attacking side by side with the 45th Wing, all suffered increasing casualties. In comparison, the offensive made no progress.

After all, it was the defense of the capital where the Chinese army yelled 'absolutely undefeated'. The bravery of the Chinese soldiers on this battlefield was completely different from that of their opponents in the North China battle.

Especially their shooting skills cannot be ignored.

In the criss-cross positions like a spider web, rely on each stronghold to fight tenaciously.

One stronghold was destroyed, and the next stronghold immediately spewed out violent firepower.

It is true that the Japanese army must defeat each stronghold one by one before it can advance.Every inch of land advanced here, every mound captured, must be paid in blood. "

So it can be seen that the battle was fierce.

Duan Wu also analyzed that battle, why the slogans were loud and the soldiers resisted tenaciously, but in the end they were defeated or even fled.As for the Chinese defenders, tens of thousands of people became prisoners of the Japanese army. Why is this?
The first point is that the guards are not united. Many people think that Nanjing has been reduced to an isolated city, and there is no value in defending it.

Because tactically speaking, Nanjing is a Jedi.

The enemy can encircle on three sides, but the north is blocked by the Yangtze River, and there is no way to retreat.

At that time, most of the troops had just been defeated on the Songhu battlefield, their morale was low, and most of their personnel and equipment had not been replenished. Under such circumstances, it was not worthwhile to confront the Japanese invaders.

Therefore, many high-level military officials believed that it would be better to withdraw the army to both sides of the Yangtze River to prevent the Japanese army from going north and let the Japanese invaders take Nanjing, which has nothing to do with the overall situation of the war.

But at that time, the chairman had a reason to fight.

Nanjing was the capital of the Republic of China at that time, and it was visited by the world, and it was also the place where Prime Minister Sun’s mausoleum was located. If he abandoned Nanjing, he would not be able to face the spirit of the Prime Minister.

What's more, he has to explain to the 50 people in Nanjing.If he retreats without firing a shot, he is likely to be drowned by the spittle of the common people.

Therefore, the defense of Nanjing is not a question of whether to defend or not, but a matter of sticking to the time.

But in a word, it is still a matter of face in the end.

Because of the Zhongshan tomb, the Chairman was afraid that people would say that he was disloyal and unfilial, so he had to fight this battle.And for fear of being laughed at by foreigners, we have to fight this battle.Finally, there is public opinion. The Chairman has repeatedly violated public opinion.But at this most critical juncture, public opinion came to mind.It has to be said that the chairman's emotional intelligence is still very high.

The second point is the lack of preparation. The defense of Nanjing can be said to be a temporary initiative.After the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Jiangyin, the Japanese army approached the city.The chairman temporarily dispatched troops from various places,
The Nanjing Defense War garrison consisted of 15 divisions (including the teaching corps) and 3 gendarmerie regiments.

On paper, it looks like the strength of 16 divisions, plus the troops directly under the Nanjing Garrison should have 15 to 20 people.But many divisions are under-staffed divisions.

Taking the 66th Army and the 83rd Army as an example (a total of 4 divisions), after the retreat from the Songhu Battle, the losses were relatively large.And there was no supplement after arriving in Nanjing.

During the Nanjing Defense War, the 66th Army had 7000 people and the 83rd Army had 5500 people.

The 112th Division and the 103rd Division were transferred to supplement the front-line troops in the early stage of the Songhu Battle, and then experienced the Jiangyin Fortress Defense Battle and the Zhenjiang Fortress Defense Battle.After withdrawing to Nanjing with the 87th Division, there were no additional troops.There are only about 6000 people in the two divisions.

The three regiments of the gendarmerie have 3 officers and 353 soldiers, totaling 5099.In other words, the strength of the gendarmerie is only half of that of the field division.

The total number of the Second Army transferred from Wuhan will not exceed 2.

Therefore, it is calculated from this that the total strength of the Nanjing Defense War at that time would not exceed 15 at most.

And in the end, with the addition of a Donald Duck who has no commanding ability, it is difficult to be undefeated in this battle in Nanjing.

In this regard, Duan Wu has nothing to do. Even if he goes to Nanjing to meet the chairman of the committee now, I am afraid it will not help.He only hoped to delay the defense of Nanjing for a little longer, even a few days would be fine.

One more day of preparation, the defense of Nanjing, one more confidence.After all, when the little devils attacked Nanjing, there were only 7 to [-] people.

So sometimes, it is very angry, higher than the enemy's strength, but the result is so tragic.

Of course, no matter how tragic it was, it couldn't compare to the 70 people in the Songhu Battle.

The Dragon Boat Festival continued to nest in the woods, and Zhu Shengzhong couldn't stand it any longer.

After eating, he wanted to join in front of Duan Wu, but Duan Wu kicked him into the ravine.

Zhu Shengzhong was about to explode, but at this moment, there was the sound of an airplane engine.

Zhu Shengzhong sat down quickly, raised his head and looked up to the sky.

From the northeast direction, a devil's reconnaissance plane flew over their heads, and then went straight to the Huangshan Fort.

Xie Jinyuan looked at the plane going away, lowered his voice and said: "Tuan Zuo, you guessed it right again, the little devil really sent the plane."

Duan Wu closed her eyes and said, "Don't panic, this is not what we want to wait for. Keep waiting!"

"Yes!"

Xie Jinyuan didn't say much at this time.The group seat is like a god.Said that the little devil took advantage of the fog on the river to scout the firepower of the Huangshan Fort, and the little devil came.It was said that the little devil would come if he had a plane, and the plane also came.

In his eyes, Tuanzao is an incredible existence.

Xie Jinyuan held back for a while, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and asked: "Tuan Zuo, are you a god? Why does it seem that every move of the Japanese army is in your expectation?"

"Ah!"

Duan Wu laughed, because knowing that period of history, he really existed like a god.

Unpredictable prophets, anticipating the enemy's opportunities, this is not a god, what is it?
