Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 378 I practiced guns at the age of three, and I was familiar with the art of warfare at the age of four!
At this time, everyone in Jiangyin Fortress admired the special commissioner Duan Wu very much.

All the veterans bared their teeth and smiled. They had never seen such a battle since they were born.

Originally, the soldiers of the 112th Division thought that after the Japanese army attacked, the Jiangyin Fortress would be a fierce battle.But what I didn't expect was that in the successive attacks of the Japanese army, it was so vulnerable.

Grandma, from the beginning of the war to the present, I don’t know how many devils have killed, but it must be much more serious than the 672 regiment and the Jiangyin garrison, right?

The 672 regiment and the garrison have suffered less than 100 casualties since the start of the war.This is unimaginable for everyone.

For this reason, Master Huo of the 112th Division also specifically told the field hospital to be prepared to receive a large number of casualties.

But the battle has been fought for 12 hours, and only a dozen seriously wounded were sent in, and the rest of the people were bandaged on the battlefield and they were fine.

The doctors and nurses in the field hospital were a little stunned, but also a little happy.

The surprise is because there are so few wounded, and the joy is that there are no wounded, which means that the 112th Division has won the battle.

After careful questioning, I found out that everything was the special commissioner's safety.

The little nurses in the field hospital started discussing all of a sudden:

"Who is that commissioner?"

"Yeah, I heard he's still very young!"

"Are I young, I'm 21 years old?"

"Haha, you are already an old girl at the age of 21, and you still want to be younger than the special commissioner?"

"Hate!"

The 21-year-old girl blushed, but at this moment, she didn't want someone to say: "Ask Yang Yang. I remember that Yang Yang really wanted to serve that commissioner."

"Serve?"

More than a dozen little nurses revealed evil thoughts at the same time.

Yang Yang was furious: "What is serving? It's so ugly? That's called taking care. Do you understand taking care of me?"

"An explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is dishonesty. Say, did you, did you do anything to that commissioner?"

More than a dozen nurses ganged up to tickle Yang Yang, and they started fighting in the field hospital.

But it was precisely because they were playing around with nothing to do in their free time that it seemed that the victory came more easily.

But at the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival is not as easy as these little nurses.The Japanese army's bombing of Jiangyin Fortress is not over yet, and next time, I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with.

Devils are not fools, they will definitely change their tactics after suffering two losses in a row.

Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival had to make new responses.He ordered each of the four regiments of the 112th Division to send a battalion to guard the position, change defenses every two hours, and send out clear and dark sentries as warnings.The rest of the people are still resting in the air-raid shelters in their respective positions.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, armed with a [-]-style rifle and Zhou Weiguo, patrolling the position.

The position of the 672 regiment was severely damaged.Duanwu ordered the soldiers of the 672 regiment to repair the damaged positions, and told them that a good fortification is the guarantee of life.If you want to bleed less in battle, you need to put in more effort when repairing positions.

If these words were changed before, I am afraid that this group of veterans would sneer.Because under the enemy's shells, even the deepest trenches can be filled.

But at this time, the words of the Dragon Boat Festival are like an imperial decree, and everyone is willing to obey.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the tired and sweaty soldiers who were still digging trenches, and said with emotion: "I often tell the soldiers that, but what I hear is always complaining. Grandma, I don't know what's going on .”

Duan Wu said: "This is the art of language, Lao Zhou didn't mean you, you are stupid."

"・・・・"

Zhou Weiguo was speechless, and thought to himself: You are quite serious, aren't you?

However, Zhou Weiguo had to admit that he was indeed a little reticent, and he was unwilling to say some things, and only expressed them with actions.

But this is natural, what can he do?
But speaking of it, aside from wanting to kick him, he was most curious about Duan Wu.Because he was in the army before, he had never heard of Duan Wu.And let alone the Whampoa Military Academy. If there was such an outstanding young officer as Duan Wu, word would have spread in the school.

He tried to ask: "Where did my brother study?"

"Self taught."

Duan Wu replied proudly.These are old questions, and Zhou Weiguo was not the only one who asked this question, so the Dragon Boat Festival answered it fluently.

"Self taught?"

Zhou Weiguo didn't believe it.

But at this time, Duan Wu said disdainfully: "If you don't believe it, forget it, I am that genius child. I practiced guns when I was three years old, and when I got started with guns that year, I became one with guns. I was familiar with the art of war when I was four years old. I am proficient in everything. I trained my body at the age of five and created an indestructible body. At the age of six, I went abroad to study and traveled all over Japan, Britain, Germany, France and the United States.

And when I returned to China at the age of seven, I was proficient in French, German, English, and Japanese.

When I was eight years old, I read a lot of books, looking for the meaning of life,
When I was nine years old, because I had already stood at the pinnacle of this world, I felt world-weary.I hid in the deep mountains to cultivate, and I was idle as a wild crane, with nothing to do, reclaiming a piece of wasteland, planting some potatoes, corn,..."

"puff!"

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.What I said above is all nonsense, but the last sentence is true, and I was born as a farmer.

And there was no truth in the Dragon Boat Festival, so Zhou Weiguo didn't ask any more.He was originally a man of few words, and he was not good at communicating with others.

It's just that he still asked a little strangely: "How do you know about me?"

What Zhou Weiguo was referring to was the story of Yang Guo told in the Dragon Boat Festival.He was obviously the main character in the story.Because of a female classmate who killed a foreigner and was shot, I came to the rescue with gold bars, and the only thing left was to explain the number of gold bars.

So Zhou Weiguo was very curious about this, because not many people knew the ins and outs of the whole thing.

But the Dragon Boat Festival will make up, cleared his throat and said: "Because my cousin's surname is Chen!"

"puff!"

Zhou Weiguo vomited blood again, more sure that what Duan Wu said was true.

Zhou Weiguo pondered for a moment, frowning all the time, not knowing where to put his hand.He wanted to know the whereabouts of Chen Yi, but he refused in his heart. After all, in his heart, it was Chen Yi who betrayed him.

He killed people for Chen Yi and almost lost his head, but Chen Yi married Zhang Chu in a blink of an eye.This is something he cannot forgive.

But in his heart, this is another knot that cannot be solved.

Duan Wu looked at Zhou Weiguo with a tangled expression and found it funny.But he didn't want to tell him.Because if Duan Wu told him the truth, Zhou Wei would be even more entangled.A fiancée and a first love, how can he choose?Maybe it will be so tangled up that the brain is tied up, but it's not necessarily true.

So Duan Wu patted Zhou Weiguo on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, the battle is not over yet, so why talk about the future?"

The meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival is to say, think about these things after this battle is over.But Zhou Weiguo misunderstood it. He thought what Duan Wu said meant: "His cousin has already married Zhang Chu, so let him forget it."

Zhou Weiguo thinks about it too, Chen Yi has already chosen Zhang Chu, so even if he knows where she is now, so what?

"You're right, what's the matter, let's talk about it after we defeat the Japanese!"

Zhou Weiguo agreed, and then said: "Tell me, can this Jiangyin Fortress be defended?"

"Humph!"

Duan Wu sneered, and then said: "If the Xicheng Line can stop the devils, and if the Jiangyin Fortress has enough ammunition, there is no problem in defending the Jiangyin Fortress.

But there are not many shells in Jiangyin Fortress, so I asked Mr. Huo about it.Master Huo told me that the large-caliber 310mm and 300mm domestic Krupp howitzers had less than 150 rounds of shells, and the sum of the other heavy artillery shells was less than a thousand, and most of these guns were imported. To supplement, it will take three months before the shipment arrives.

And our chairman is still thinking about dismantling the German-made 150mm Krupp cannon he purchased and transporting it back to Nanjing.That's a joke, what's the use of transporting a bunch of junk back to Nanjing?Is it possible to replenish the cannonballs when they run out?

Therefore, the Jiangyin Fortress cannot be defended. If it is to be defended, the first depends on whether the Jiangyin Fortress has reinforcements, and the second depends on how long the shells in the Jiangyin Fortress can last.Otherwise, let alone a 112 division, even two divisions would not be enough for the little devils to blow up.

And if I'm not wrong, tomorrow will be a tough battle, and the Japanese army will launch a crazy offensive against the Jiangyin Fortress in three dimensions by sea, land and air.

But the most important thing is whether the Xicheng line can hold up, this is the crux of the problem.

I just received some battle reports. "

Speaking of this, Duan Wu threw a hand behind him, and the old abacus nodded and bowed and quickly handed over a military map, and took out a flashlight to shine on Duan Wu.

Duanwu spread the map on the ground and said to Zhou Weiguo: "The battle report I received was that on the 21st, the divisions of the Japanese army had officially begun to attack the Xicheng line.

The pursuit force of the Japanese 9th Division still attempted to break through Wangting and point directly at Wuxi.

The 19st Battalion of its 1th Wing launched an attack on Wangting in the morning.The 51st Division guarding the north bank strengthened the position at night and increased its strength, so the resistance became more violent.

The captain of the Japanese army sent a squadron to cross the river with civilian boats, but found that all the nearby ships had been controlled by our army, so the squadron had to continue searching northeast along the river bank.

For the main force of the Japanese army to cross the river, there was only one way to forcefully break through the iron bridge.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army fired 8 heavy machine guns at our army's position on the iron bridge. Half an hour later, 8 infantry guns were dragged in and fired at the same time, and the bombardment continued until 12 o'clock.

Our army on the bridge was gradually exhausted, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, seized the position at the bridgehead, and launched an attack to the north bank.

At 13:51, the first part of the [-]st Division retreated to the village on the east side of the North Shore Highway and fired violently at the Japanese army, causing its advance to be blocked again. After a day of fierce fighting, there was no breakthrough.

In the evening of the same day, reinforcements from a brigade of the 36th Regiment arrived, and the two brigades were under the command of the 36th Regiment Captain Jiro Wakiita, attacking our army on the east and west lines of the village, but under the strong resistance of the 51st Division, they were still unable to move forward.

At night, the weather changed suddenly and it rained heavily, so the Japanese army had to stop their attack and wait for dawn.The 19st Battalion of its 1th Wing suffered dozens of casualties in the battle that day alone.

On the morning of the 16st, the main force of the 21th Division, the backbone of the Japanese offensive, entered the area east of Houshan, the forward position of the Xicheng Defense Line.

The 13th Division of Wan Yaohuang and the 11th Division of Peng Shan were defending Houshan and its north and south areas.The defenders had already destroyed all the bridges and guarded the permanent fortifications on the river bank. When the Japanese soldiers approached, they suddenly opened fire, causing heavy casualties.

After the Nakajima Kinzago command post stabilized its position, the 38th and 20th regiments launched an attack on the front of Houshan and its southern road, and the 33rd regiment detoured south.

The Japanese artillery desperately suppressed our bunkers, and the fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce, with hand-to-hand combat occurring many times.

第11师31旅阵地一度告急，第二线的33旅65、66团随即向日军大举反击，31旅旅长带头冲锋，将日军击退。

In the afternoon of the battle, the 16th Division still could not break through the Houshan line of defense. At 16:50, when the 20st Brigade of the 1th Regiment captured the front line of Dakutou, it was immediately condescending and violently shot by the 13th Division from the commanding height of Houshan, making it difficult for the Japanese army to attack. step forward,
So in general, there is no problem with the Xicheng Line for the time being.But not necessarily after two days.So we have to make preparations early. If possible, you can rest in Jiangyin for one night, and tomorrow you will return to Nanjing with the remnants of the 40th Division. While resting, rebuild the fortifications. "

Zhou Weiguo asked in surprise, "Rebuild fortifications? Nanjing has city defenses?"

Duan Wu curled his lips and said, "Young man, why do you think the little devil can be so powerful all the way? That's because the little devil knows more about China than us Chinese. The city defense map of Nanjing may have been placed in Matsui Shigen's place long ago." It's on the desk."

"・・・"

Zhou Weiguo was speechless, and thought: Grandma's, the Central Command and the Military Command are a bunch of trash, any important things can be lost in their hands,
