Glorious Mission 1937

() Before coming here, Song Mengyao knew that the 61st Army was a tough nut to crack. If it wasn't for my uncle, who said that he wanted to be the secretary of that philandering radish, otherwise, she would not come to such a place.

After these few days of contact, Song Mengyao also found that the 61st Army is not simple. There is an evil spirit inside and out of this army. The difference, especially among those officers, was more pronounced.

However, Miss Song's life these days is not very easy, that Miss Yan is against her everywhere, and originally belonged to her job as a confidential secretary, but now she has to be snatched by that Miss Yan to do it. , As for the verbal run, that is even more common.

Song Mengyao knew what that Miss Yan was worried about, wasn't she worried that she would rob her Ruyi Langjun.Thinking of my majestic Miss Song, how could the niece of the mother of the country rob a man with her, the daughter of a warlord? Those who strongly opposed it, especially my aunt and uncle, don't think they asked me to come now, but after following my aunt for so many years, how could she not know the character and temper of those two? Groups of generals are very disgusted, how can I let myself marry such a person.

However, she has not gained nothing during this time. Since she is now Chen Feng's confidential secretary and is also a staff officer at the military headquarters, she has the right to view some not very confidential documents of the 61st Army, such as the 61st Army. She has the right to have access to the army's establishment, weapons and equipment, and the basic information of the officers of the 61st Army.It's just that she didn't know that the materials she saw were all edited.

Even so, Song Mengyao was taken aback by the current strength of the 61st Army.Due to the need for secrecy, the three garrison brigades and special warfare divisions of the 61st Army have all changed from light to dark. Chen Feng has collected their documents and files, and telegraphed these troops not to contact the military headquarters if there is anything to do. Get in touch with him through the secret radio station of the military department.

In addition, the cavalry group was also blurred by Chen Feng. In the archives of the military department, only the number of the cavalry group was recorded, but there was no record of the exact number of troops.So now I only know that the 61st Army has three infantry divisions, an air defense brigade, a teaching brigade, a guard regiment, and a cavalry unit.

At first, she thought that the infantry division of the 61st Army was the same as other Kuomintang troops, with only 8000 soldiers per division, and no more than [-] or tens of thousands of troops in total.

But when she knew that each infantry division of the 61st Army had nine regiments with more than 9 soldiers, she was completely petrified.How can this be an infantry division? The four regiments add up to less than 1 people, and even less than 7000 people. One division of the 61st Army is almost worth three to four divisions.

Calculated in this way, the three infantry divisions of the 61st Army have more than 8 people, plus more than 61 people in the air defense brigade, more than 10 people in the teaching brigade, more than [-] people in the Jingwei regiment, and I don’t know how many people there are. The cavalry team, the total strength of the [-]st Army is almost [-].

Even though it is seen from the archives that the three infantry divisions of the 61st Army are not yet fully staffed, but the result of the final investigation is that the 61st Army still has a huge strength of more than 7 people so far.

What surprised Song Mengyao even more was that the weapons and equipment of the various troops of the 61st Army had far surpassed the Central Yang Army, and compared with the elite troops of the Japanese Army, there was only a gap in large-caliber artillery and armor strength. As far as conventional weapons are concerned, even the seventeen infantry divisions established by the Japanese army are far from it.

She personally went to the 101st Division stationed in Datong to see that the pure Mauser rifles looked similar to those equipped by the Central Yang Army from a distance, but when she walked in, she could find that the soldiers of the 61st Army were equipped with This Mauser rifle is shorter than the Chinese one, and Song Mengyao, who has some military knowledge, knows that it is a Mauser 98k, which is the standard equipment of the German Army.

In addition, she also saw a large number of Czech light machine guns and Maxim foundation period in the 101st Division, as well as a large number of Japanese-made melon grenades, and also found a large number of artillery.Although Song Mengyao was not very knowledgeable about military affairs, she also knew the value of such a well-armed army.

The most important thing is that the temperament of this army is very different from that of the Central Yang Army and any local army. All the soldiers of the 61st Army have a certain temperament. They are all confident and energetic. Every day, all the soldiers get up before five o'clock and start training around the entire Datong city. Arms, watching that battle made people feel excited.Song Mengyao did not hide any of these situations, and passed them back to Wuhan through secret channels.

Although the defense of Nanjing is now at its final juncture, more than [-] troops have been defeated and only [-] are left. The outer city positions have all fallen, and the inner city was also breached by the Japanese army three days ago. The army launched a fierce street battle, and perhaps in two or three days, Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, would all fall into the enemy's hands.But even so, Wuhan also attached great importance to the information sent by Song Mengyao.

After reading the telegram from the attendant's room, Lao Jiang's face, which was not very good, became even more gloomy.

"Shihe, how long can Nanjing last?"

"Back to the principal, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a few days. Today, General Tang sent a report to the Wuhan camp through Gu Zhutong in Jiangbei, hoping that the government will send another support soldier to Nanjing. Otherwise, the entire army will be destroyed within three days at most. The army is wiped out." Wang Shihe replied in a deep voice.

"completely annihilated!"

Old Jiang was speechless for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "You ask Gu Zhutong to tell Tang Shengzhi that if it is really impossible, you can withdraw as much as you can. Anyway, it is impossible for the little devil to massacre the city again. As long as you don't massacre the city, Nanjing is lost. It's lost too!"

"Principal, the Japanese Army has now surrounded the city of Nanjing. Some ships of the Third Fleet of the Japanese Army are cruising on the river in Xiaguan day and night, and are constantly firing at Nanjing City. It may be too late to withdraw now." Wang Shihe whispered Said.

"Forget about the big troops. They will definitely not be able to withdraw. Just withdraw the main generals. The defense of Nanjing has already lost a lot of senior generals. If it can't be done, send people to take out all the middle and senior officers. Only officers who are in the army It will be rebuilt soon, and if there are no officers, it will be completely over!" Lao Jiang said again.

"It would be much easier if it was just a military officer. During this period of time, a large number of civilians were evacuated from the city of Nanjing. They usually took the water. For these civilians, Ri himself can at best board a boat to check, and occasionally If you rob some property, you usually don’t kill people, and if those high-ranking officers pretend to be civilians, they will definitely be able to withdraw. Besides, there are civilian ships fleeing everywhere on the Xiaguan River, and sometimes the Japanese themselves don’t even check.” Wang Shihe said.

"Is there a list of the generals who died in Nanjing? These people are all loyal ministers of the party-state. Even if the party-state dies in battle, we can't treat them badly." Old Jiang said dejectedly.

"It has already come out. It was sent by the Nanjing Garrison Command an hour ago. The first one is Xiao Shanling, the mayor of Nanjing, deputy commander of the Gendarmerie Command and acting director of the Capital Police Department. General Xiao Shanling is at Yifeng Gate In the fierce battle with the Japanese army abroad, when crossing the river, he was shot and injured by a Japanese motorboat machine gun, drew his gun and killed himself with the last bullet, and died heroically for the country."

The name and the details of the sacrifice were told to Lao Jiang one by one, and he couldn't help crying while talking.

(ps: When writing this chapter, Aotian was in a very heavy mood. Not only did we have more than [-] casualties in the defense of Nanjing, but also many senior officers died in the battle, including senior officers at the division and brigade level. Perhaps many people have already They have forgotten, or more people don’t know them at all, so Aotian listed the names of these heroes one by one, hoping to make readers remember these people, they are all heroes.)
