() Now the army on the entire Sidon line suddenly faced nearly 30 Japanese troops armed to the teeth, and the pressure suddenly increased. On the other hand, the staff reduction reached 60.00%.

In the Japanese army, because the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, an international metropolis, the whole people fell into hysterical madness. They held celebration meetings one after another, and at the same time wrote to the emperor, asking the Japanese army to take down the capital of China. The pressure on the Japanese general staff headquarters was also very high In desperation, the General Staff Headquarters ordered the front-line Japanese army to immediately conquer the Sideng Line and march to Nanjing, the capital of China, to celebrate the emperor's birthday underground.

The Japanese army immediately launched an army of 30 to attack the Sidon Line in an all-round way. Under the cover of tanks and heavy artillery, it would be even more difficult for the Japanese army to completely guard the Sidon Line. Even the attacks can't survive, and the face of the new situation.

Zhang Jun supported all his anti-tank guns to deal with the tanks of the Japanese army. Now he uses anti-tank guns to destroy the tanks of the Japanese army in the fortifications. Compared with using tanks to destroy tanks during the counterattack, the former Of course, it’s even more calculated. Every time the number of Japanese tanks is reduced, Zhang Jun’s successful counterattack will increase by one point. The No. 37 tank is still very threatening, especially the No. 37 tank cannot withstand the [-]mm anti-tank gun.

Among Zhang Jun's 120 tanks, 37 are Panzer III tanks. The front armor of this kind of tank is only 47-37 mm, and the whole vehicle weighs 32 tons. Although the Japanese tanks are less than 25 tons , but his [-]mm anti-tank gun is a fatal threat to the No. [-] tank. Zhang Jun also has [-] No. [-] medium tanks, weighing [-] tons. These tanks are the nemesis of the Japanese tanks. The front armor has [-] mm, Japan's tank guns have nothing to do with it.

After receiving a large number of anti-tank guns mobilized by Zhang Jun and Jiang Zhongzheng on the Sideng line, the Japanese tanks suffered heavy losses. The tanks alone lost more than 100 tanks. It was hard to regret with Japan, which turned the crisis on the Sidon Line. The two sides launched a tragic positional battle and a tug-of-war on the Sidon Line. The blood in the ** trenches was like a stream, and the Japanese army outside also dyed all the land within 1000 meters in front of the formation red.

The Bushido of the Japanese devils is really too tenacious. Despite such heavy casualties, they are still attacking fiercely, and the [-] heavy artillery is constantly destroying the fortifications of the defense line. Every three days, the Japanese army will occupy a line of defense, reaching the center* After the *team lost three lines of defense, they all retreated to the two fulcrums on the Xideng Line that night-Wuxi City and Jiangyin City. The defense of the Xideng Line lasted for fifteen days, less than expected Halfway through, it left an extra breath of vitality for the Japanese invaders, but the casualties on both sides were huge, reaching about [-] to [-].

** More than 20 people were besieged in these two points, and there were fierce quarrels among the top leaders in Japan over the tactical arrangements. In the end, the Emperor of the Japanese Army held an imperial meeting to decide the tactical arrangements.

Participating in the imperial meeting were Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumma, Japanese Marine Minister Mitsumasa Yonei, Army Deputy Umezu Yoshijiro, and Staff Headquarters Ishihara Wanji.

"Your Majesty, I think we should attack the capital of China in one go. The empire has already consumed too much material in this war. If the war continues to consume like this, it will seriously affect the strategy of the empire."

This is what the sea minister said, and then the army man continued:

"Your Majesty, after a arduous and outstanding battle, the imperial soldiers have now occupied the largest city in China-Shanghai, but the Chinese government army suddenly abandoned the defense line and retreated to the two cities of Wuxi and Jiangyin, where they were captured by the imperial army. Surrounded, with no less than 25 people, don't we need to capture these two cities to march on the capital of China?"

"I don't agree with the words of the Vice Minister of the Army. The imperial army is invincible. The resources of the empire and the international environment do not allow us to fight a war of attrition with China, so we can use part of the army to surround these two cities, and there is no need to fight with China. The remnants of the defeated generals will fight in the streets, and then the main force of the imperial army will go straight to the capital of China, forcing the government to surrender and negotiate peace. This is the best policy."

"I agree that the empire really cannot procrastinate on the war in China for too long. We must resolve the war in China as soon as possible. Our heroic imperial army should not be wasted in street fighting with the Chinese. We can use part of the army to besiege this place for a long time. Two cities, and then go straight to the capital of China, and after the surrender of the government of China, the two cities will be destroyed by themselves."

First of all, Fumma Konoe agreed with this point of view. Emperor Hirohito was not a tactician in the first place, and he would do what the ministers below said.

"Since all the lovers think that this arrangement of tactics is reasonable, then implement it like this, send a report to Matsui Iwane, take the capital of China in the near future, and force the government of China to surrender."

The order of the high-level Japanese army was quickly conveyed to Matsui Iwane. As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Shanghai Expeditionary Force, Matsui Iwane was unwilling to fight street fighting with the police. As a soldier, how could he not know the cruelty of street fighting? Shi Gen divided the 5000 Japanese troops to besiege Wuxi and Jiangyin. There were 20 troops left behind in Shanghai. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the full [-] troops rushed straight to Nanjing, the capital of China. And down.

The war was developing as Zhang Jun expected. The Japanese army set off from the Sideng Line to Nanjing. The road conditions were good, and there were no independent troops blocking the whole map, and the advance was very smooth.

On December 1937, 12, the Japanese army had pushed to Danyang and occupied Danyang City.

On December 1937, 12, the Japanese army had pushed to Changzhou and occupied Changzhou.

At the Zhenjiang 74th Army Headquarters, Zhang Jun is calling all the officers for a meeting:

Deputy Army Commanders: Yu Jishi, Shi Zhongzhong

Chief of Staff: Qiu Qingquan, Staff Group: dozens of German professional staff.

51 Division Commander: Paul Hauser, Deputy Division Commander: Feng Shengfa (Infantry Division)

57 Division Commander: Theodore Eck Deputy Division Commander: Zhang Lingpu (Infantry Division)

58 Division Commander: Rommel Deputy Division Commander: Wang Yaowu (Armored Division)

Head of flight group: Erich Hartmann, deputy head: Gao Zhihang

At the same time, there are Song Xilian, commander of the 36th division, and Zhang Zhizhong, the commander of the 87th division, and Yu Jishi, the commander of the 88th division, and Gui Yongqing, the captain of the teaching team. They suffered heavy losses after the first stage of the Songhu Battle. After the second stage, Jiang Zhongzheng refused to let them go The battlefield was placed in Nanjing to rest and reorganize. The total strength of this counterattack reached 13, all of which were equipped with German weapons.In particular, the German Armored 74 Armored Army is the original product that has not shrunk.

When everyone arrives at the scene, the launch of this counterattack will officially begin:

"Start checking the watch now. The time is now at eight o'clock in the evening on December 1937, 12." Zhang Jun told the division commanders present at the time and began to issue combat orders:

"Flying regiment Hartman led all the planes to attack all the airports of the Japanese army in Shanghai tonight, and at the same time telegraphed the planes of the Soviet Air Force to fully assist. The Shanghai airport and the two field airports of the Japanese army must be destroyed tonight. A Japanese plane takes off, otherwise the military law will be followed."

"Guaranteed to complete the task." Hartman led the order and left.

"Rommel, Commander of the 58th Division, your task is to lead your armored division to assault the Japanese army head-on tomorrow morning, and not to attack the city."

Because the Japanese army still occupied two cities between Wuxi and Nanjing, Danyang and Changzhou, Rommel could not be stupid enough to use his armored divisions in street battles with the Japanese bandits, bypassing the cities and handing them over to the infantry behind. There are not many other things in China but there are many people, and the small capitals surrounding these two cities are more than enough.

"Commander of the 51st Division: Paul Hausser and Commander of the 57th Division: Theodore Eck, you are closely following the 58th Division, annihilating the enemies whose organization has been disrupted, and at the same time ensuring the logistical needs of the 58th Division."

You must know that the 51st Division and the 57th Division have more than 800 vehicles. While ensuring the logistics of the 58th Armored Division, the infantry of these two divisions can follow up by vehicle.For the first time, a real blitzkrieg will be staged on Chinese soil.

"Song Xilian, commander of the 36th division, and Zhang Zhizhong, the commander of the 87th division, and Yu Jishi, the commander of the 88th division, and Gui Yongqing, the leader of the teaching corps. Your task is to wipe out the remaining enemies left by the frontline troops, such as fortifications, or the enemy in the city. If you really can't wipe out Call the follow-up troops to encircle, and you must not pull too far away from the main attacking force, and the distance between you and the main attacking force cannot exceed ten kilometers. Can you complete the task?"

"Can, can, can..."

December 1937, 12 at twelve o'clock in the evening: clear, no moon, but with starlight, you can basically see the outline of the terrain.

Under the guidance of the Chinese navigator, Hartman took 109 bf87s, 87 ju[-] dive bombers and [-] Soviet horizontal bombers. Hartman divided his fleet into three groups and attacked three airports respectively. The precise bombing of the German J[-] dive bomber is outstanding. Under the guidance of the Chinese navigator, it can easily blow up the runway of the Japanese army.

Large areas of destruction were handed over to the Soviet level bombers. Japanese fighter planes could not take off to fight at night, so it seems that bf109 can only sweep down the Japanese aircraft on the airport apron to play tonight.

At this time, the Japanese military airport was peaceful. Various lights illuminated the airport like daytime, and the searchlights kept shining back and forth, but they did not illuminate the sky, but the ground. This is a place in China. Xiaori was afraid that Chinese troublemakers would come to the airport to make trouble, so those searchlights shone indiscriminately on the wilderness.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Chunyi Xiaogou, the security officer at Shanghai Airport, suddenly heard a buzzing sound, and the water in the glass on the table also rippled.As the guard officer of the airport, Junichi Xiaogou knew that a large number of planes were approaching, and now it was night, and it was impossible for his side to send a large number of planes. He said that he had not been notified, and it could only be a plane from China. It was still a large fleet, and Junichi the puppy rushed out of his room, and then rang the aviation alarm in the corridor.

The Japanese soldiers in the airport also rushed out of their rooms one after another and started running to their posts. The lights at the airport were also turned off instantly, but it was too late. The Chinese navigators had already accurately located the Shanghai airport occupied by the Japanese army. The screaming plane swooped down, there was a huge, deafening explosion on the airport runway, the house was shaking violently, and Junichi felt that he was completely deaf.
