Chapter 42 Iron Blood Breakthrough

"Your Majesty, one or three places were attacked at night. A brigade at Qilin Gate was assassinated by the Chinese army without anyone noticing it. The supply station at Qixia Mountain where our army attacked Nanjing was attacked by the Chinese army and lost a lot of supplies!" Prime Minister Konoe Just finished speaking, Emperor Hirohito said angrily: "Order Kazuki Kiyoshi to take over as the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army! From now on, we will attack 24 hours a day! If they can't take Nanjing City within three days, they can all kill themselves!"

"Hi!" Prime Minister Konoe turned and left.

After receiving the order, the commander of the North China Dispatched Army, Xiangyue Qingsi, immediately took a special plane from Beiping to Moling, the forward headquarters of the attack on Nanjing, to replace the seriously injured Lieutenant General Asaka Palace Hatohiko.

Due to the sneak attack by Zhang Lieyang and his special forces, the Japanese army began to attack Xinxin the next day in the afternoon. On the afternoon of December 12, Zhang Lieyang received a telegram from the Wuhan base camp: "Your troops will disperse and break through before January 30! The route is up to you to decide! Chiang Kai-shek, December 26, [-]th year of the Republic of China"

After reading the telegram, Zhang Lieyang immediately dialed Li Mutian's walkie-talkie and said, "Old Li, how is the situation there?"

"I'm fine here, but the devil's warship was blocked by your chamber pot mine!" Li Mutian said with a smile.

"Old Li, you immediately ask the engineers to erect the pontoon bridge in Xiaguan! The erection must be completed before tonight. Then, you lead your defenders in the north of the city to Pukou, Liuhe Line and the 884 brigade, and then transfer to Chuzhou, Anhui! After you transfer I will lead all the soldiers to transfer from the front to Jiujiang via Zhonghuamen and Yuhuatai!" Zhang Lieyang said lightly.

"Then, Military Seat, where do we meet?" Li Mutian asked anxiously.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Lieyang said: "We will gather at Zhongtiao Mountain! When you get there, call...!" Zhang Lieyang told Li Mutian the frequency and password of the walkie-talkie at the Zhongtiao Mountain secret base.Then Zhang Lieyang connected the walkie-talkies of other brigade-level and above commanders who prepared the site and said: "Tomorrow night, except for the Yuhuatai position, all other positions will set up booby traps and landmines overnight, and everyone will bring automatic weapons except heavy machine guns. Gather at Yuhuatai! In the early morning of January 1939, [-], we broke out!"

"Please rest assured, the military seat, we will complete the assembly on time!" After hearing their assurance, Zhang Lieyang turned off the walkie-talkie.

After a while, Zhang Lieyang turned on the walkie-talkie again, and called Peng Xuefei, the commander of the Independent Armored Brigade who had been on standby, and Hai Dongqing, the commander of the Independent Artillery Brigade directly under the army, to the headquarters.

When they arrived, Zhang Lieyang saw them and said with a smile, "I'll give you a glorious mission!" Hearing that there was a mission, Peng Xuefei and Hai Dongqing immediately cheered up and looked at Zhang Lieyang and asked in unison: "Mr. What is the mission?!"

"Haitongqing, you pull out all the artillery hidden in the secret underground base of Yuhuatai for me on the night of December 12 and deploy them in place, and start shelling at 31 o'clock the next morning! All positions in Nanjing are covered by your artillery fire After half an hour, the artillery fire extended! Fire up all the shells and blow them up!" Then Zhang Lieyang said to Peng Xuefei: "On January 06, after 30:[-], you lead your armored group out of Yuhuatai and pass through Niushou Mountain of Zhonghua Gate. Banqiao Town goes straight to Wuhu and then advances rapidly to Jiujiang!"

"Don't worry, military seat! I promise to complete the task!" Peng Xuefei saluted Zhang Lieyang while speaking.Zhang Lieyang looked at Peng Xuefei and said to Hai Dongqing: "As long as there are people around, we will have supplies if the guns are gone! When we go back, I promise to give you a heavy artillery brigade with all German weapons!"

"Junzuo, you said it yourself!" Hai Dongqing looked at Zhang Lieyang and said, "Don't worry, Junzuo! We will let the devils know how powerful our artillery fire is!"

Not long after Peng Xuefei and Hai Dongqing left, Liu Fengming walked in and said, "Military seat, our positions are under great pressure these days! Casualties are also heavy!"

"I know this! But there is no way!" Zhang Lieyang took a deep breath and asked, "Chief of Staff, how many cars do we have available now?"

After thinking for a while, Liu Fengming replied: "There are 1000 or 99 cars in the entire city of Nanjing plus the cars we brought over!" After hearing Liu Fengming's words, Zhang Lieyang picked up his pen and wrote three words. The warrant was given to Liu Fengming and said: "Take my three warrants and go and transfer all the members of the [-]th Division to the north of the city, and then lead the soldiers in the other positions who are not our direct line to the north of the city to meet with Lieutenant Li and retreat together!"

"Junzuo, if you want to leave, go first!" Liu Fengming said seriously.

"You bastard! How can I leave now? You and Lieutenant Commander Li brought them safely to Zhongtiao Mountain, then we will be worth it if we fight all of us!" Zhang Lieyang continued with a smile: "After you leave It’s convenient for me to take them back! Do you know?!”

"Then the military seat! Take care of yourself!" Liu Fengming said and left.

After Liu Fengming took everyone away, Zhang Lieyang turned on the walkie-talkie again and said to the soldiers who remained on the ground: "Brothers! From now on, everyone, don't worry about ammunition, let me fight! Let the little devils Know how powerful our Chinese soldiers are!"

At this moment, soldiers' singing came from Zhang Lieyang's walkie-talkie. Zhang Lieyang was shocked when he listened carefully. It turned out that the soldiers were singing the song "Men's Way" he sang at the swearing-in meeting: "A man should kill, kill There is no mercy. The eternal karma of the ages is all in killing. In the past, there were noble men with great loyalty. Yazi killed people, and his body was lighter than a feather. .If you want to find such things today, you will find the shadow of the moon in vain...!"

Zhang Lieyang took the special forces and walked slowly to the front of Yuhuatai. Looking at the Japanese army densely packed like wasps, Zhang Lieyang sighed and said: "It seems that the devils received a death order!" Zhang Lieyang suddenly saw a place with weak firepower It got down, so he hurriedly took the special forces to make up for it.After asking the devil to go back, Zhang Lieyang immediately asked: "What's going on, why did you suddenly misfire?!"

Seeing that it was Zhang Lieyang, the soldier hurriedly said: "Army seat, the gun barrel is too hot!" Hearing what the soldier said, Zhang Lieyang immediately said to Zhang Xiangwu: "Assign all the guns of the fallen soldiers to the position. Shoot the guns, stop the guns and stop the people!" Then Zhang Lieyang spread this order to every position.

Not long after Zhang Lieyang's order was issued, the various positions became lively again.Kazuki Kiyoshi looked through the binoculars at the various units that were constantly frustrated in their attacks, and asked indifferently: "Which unit is guarding Nanjing from China?"

Chief of Staff Major General Iinuma Mori said: "It's China's new Thirteenth Army!"

"Then? (What?) It turned out to be this army! To the west, order all the troops to destroy them in Nanjing at all costs!" Xiangyue Qingsi ordered seriously with a smile on his face.

After a while, the chief of staff, Major General Mamoru Iinuma, looked at the excited Kozuki Kiyoshi and asked curiously: "Your Excellency, why are you so excited when you hear about this Chinese army?!"

"Iinuma-kun, you don't know! It's the commander of this army who wiped out our brigade with the entire empty Wanping City! And the most incredible thing is that this Chinese army was killed by a dissatisfied man. Army, so that the fifth division of our empire will be wiped out by them except for the Kunisaki detachment that is participating in the encirclement and suppression of this Chinese army!" Kiyoshi Kozuki put down his binoculars and looked at the map quietly.

After watching for a while, Xiangyue Qingji asked: "Is there any news about our warships in the Yangtze River?"

"Not for the time being, they are trying to deal with Jinna's mines now!" Chief of Staff Mamoru Iinuma said seriously.

"Then? (What?) How many mines did the Chinese people place in the waterway, yet our empire's navy dare not come over?!" Xiangyue Qingji asked suspiciously.

"According to their report, the Chinese army has deployed thousands of mines in the waterway, and also deployed heavy artillery along the coast to prevent our army from landing!" Major General Iinuma Mori replied seriously.

"So what's the situation of the Kunisaki detachment and the Hakusan detachment?" Kazuki Kiyoshi asked.

"Their offensive there is not going well! The defensive strength of the Chinese army there is no less than their frontal defense!" Major General Iinuma Mori said seriously.

Looking at the darkening sky, Xiangyue Qingji immediately ordered: "Stop attacking later, let all the troops surround the entire Nanjing city, and let all the officers above the regiment captain come here for a meeting!"

"Hi!" Major General Iinuma Mori said and left.

During the meeting before the Japanese army opened in Moling, Li Mutian and Liu Fengming took the 99th Division and the remnants collected outside the city across the Yangtze River overnight. After telling Li Mutian and Liu Fengming about the devil's attack, Li Mutian thought for a while and said, "We will use the darkness and our familiarity with the terrain to move around the devil's Guoqi detachment and Baishan detachment tomorrow. After annihilating these two groups of devils, we immediately retreat according to the route arranged by the military seat!"

"Okay! That's it!" Liu Fengming echoed earnestly.

Zhang Lieyang stood on Yuhuatai's position, looked at his watch and said to Zhang Xiangwu: "After ordering the other positions to set up booby traps, they retreat alternately and take everything they can bring with them! Nothing will be left behind. Devil!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xiangwu left after saying that.

In the early morning of December 12st, the sky was bright!The devils began to attack, and after the devils' tentative shelling, a large number of devils rushed to all the positions outside Nanjing.On the Yuhuatai battlefield, Zhang Lieyang smiled and looked at the continuous stream of devils, smiling at the opponent and saying: "Wait until tomorrow, I will let the devils know what modern warfare is!"

Ryosuke Yoshizumi, head of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, stood at the Raohua Gate and said to the staff next to him: "Immediately report to the headquarters. Our Ninth Division occupied the Chinese Army's Raohua Gate position at 35:[-]!" Yoshizumi said After that, a series of explosions sounded around him.After hearing the explosion in the direction of the Huamen, Zhang Lieyang looked over with a telescope.

Seeing the disheveled appearance of the devil being blown up by the booby-trapped mine, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said to Zhang Xiangchun: "You lead the snipers to attack the devil near the Raohua Gate!"

"Understood! Don't worry, young master!" Zhang Xiangchun said and left.

After receiving Yoshizumi's report, Kazuki Kiyoshi immediately ordered: "Order Yoshizumi's Ninth Division to encircle the Chinese army in the direction of Yuhuatai immediately! At the same time, order the attacking troops in other directions to speed up the attack!"

At 10:30, at the same time Xiangyue Qingsi received the news that other ministries had entered Nanjing, Zhang Lieyang received a telegram from Li Mutian: "We have successfully annihilated the Guoqi detachment and the Baishan detachment and have successfully broken through! Li Mutian!"

After reading the telegram, Zhang Lieyang immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Hai Dongqing and Peng Xuefei: "The plan is advanced, the artillery fire will be ready within an hour, and all the tanks will be checked. I don't want any problems with the tanks on the road!" All the division commanders and brigade commanders called over and said: "When the artillery fire starts to cover the attack, all the personnel board the vehicle and follow the armored troops to break out! I and the special forces team are in the rear!" Zhang Lieyang said to Zhang Xiangwu: "We Meet at Zhongtiao Mountain! I will leave it to you to lead the way!"

"Young master Junzuo, don't worry! I will definitely bring them all to Zhongtiao Mountain!" Zhang Xiangwu saluted Zhang Lieyang while speaking.

After a while, Zhang Lieyang's walkie-talkie rang, and he heard Hai Dongqing report: "Army seat, the heavy artillery of our artillery brigade and Nanjing garrison has been deployed, please instruct!"

"Cannon coverage attack! No need to test fire, fire!" Zhang Lieyang ordered.

Then the deafening cannon was heard.The Japanese army, which was suddenly hit by artillery, hurriedly retreated outside Nanjing and reported the situation to Xiangyue Qingsi.After learning the news that the Chinese army was equipped with a large number of heavy artillery, he immediately asked in surprise: "Iinuma-kun, when Lieutenant General Hatohiko Asakamiya was here, were you ever attacked by the heavy artillery of the Chinese army?"

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, this is the first time we have been attacked by artillery from the Chinese defenders in Nanjing!" Major General Iinuma Mori thought for a while and then said: "Probably the Chinese army has suffered serious casualties in the past few days. All the money has been taken out!"

"No! This is not Zhang Lieyang's fighting style!" Xiangyue Qingji said seriously.

"Do you want to send the air force to blow up their artillery positions?!" Major General Iinuma Mori suggested.

"To the west! Immediately order the Third Flying Squadron of the Air Force to eliminate the artillery positions in China!" Kiyoshi Xiangyue ordered with a smile.

When the Japanese bomber was about to approach the artillery position, it was immediately intercepted by ground anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.Xiangyue Qingji saw the planes being shot down through the binoculars, and suddenly cried out in heartache: "Bageya Road! The cunning Chinese army!"

Not long after the plane passed by, Zhang Lieyang ordered: "Extend the artillery to shoot!" Then Zhang Lieyang ordered Peng Xuefei: "Armored group attack!"

After receiving the order, Peng Xuefei immediately led more than 100 light and medium tanks (most of the tanks equipped by Zhang Lieyang’s troops were smuggled from the Soviet Union! A few were captured from the Japanese army! There are also 1 tanks from German Type [-] light tanks. Tanks!) set off to Niushou Mountain.

After the billowing smoke from the gunfire, Kiyoshi Kozuki saw through the binoculars a large number of tanks rushing out of the city of Nanjing.The tank group has maintained a dense formation, and the heavily armed troop trucks are closely behind the tank group.Seeing this scene, Kazuki Kiyoshi shouted angrily: "What is the special high-tech for? How can a Chinese army be equipped with so many tanks?!"

Not long after, Zhang Lieyang came to the artillery position and said, "Get in the car immediately!"

Upon hearing Zhang Lieyang's order, Hai Dongqing immediately said resolutely: "Military seat, you go quickly! Let's cover with artillery!"

"What are you farting?!" Zhang Lieyang winked at Zhang Xianghu while Zhang Lieyang was talking, and Zhang Xianghu gave Hai Dongqing an understanding look. After knocking Hai Dongqing unconscious, Zhang Lieyang said to the staff officer of the Independent Artillery Brigade: "Geng Shaole , take good care of your brigade commander, if he makes any mistakes, I will never make you happy!"

"Military seat, don't worry!" Geng Shaole took over the knocked out Hai Dongqing and left with all the brothers of the artillery brigade.Zhang Lieyang and the special forces took over the artillery positions and continued to provide artillery support for the entire army.After a while, Zhang Lieyang looked at the time and said to the special forces: "Let's go! It's time for us to leave!" Zhang Lieyang led the special forces to the armored vehicles and trucks parked aside. go.

After getting into the car, Zhang Lieyang and the special forces members stepped up the accelerator and quickly drove the car out of Nanjing City.Along the way, there were traces of devils being run over by tanks everywhere. Looking at the ruins everywhere, Zhang Lieyang couldn't help but feel a little sad!At this time, Zhang Xianghu asked Zhang Lieyang: "Young Master Junzao, will we come back in the future?"

Zhang Lieyang smiled and replied: "Don't worry! We will definitely call back!" As Zhang Lieyang's walkie-talkie rang, he heard Peng Xuefei ask: "Military seat, we are almost approaching Banqiao Town! Do you want to Wait for the convoy behind?!"

Zhang Lieyang thought for a while and said, "Don't slow down! They've been following you all the time! As long as we pass through Banqiao Town and Wuhu, we'll be safe in Jiujiang!"

Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Peng Xuefei immediately said: "Don't worry, military seat! Just watch us!"

Kiyoshi Kozuki led people into the city of Nanjing. Along the way, he saw incomplete corpses everywhere. When Kiyoshi Kozuki was feeling sad, Chief of Staff Mamoru Iinuma came here with a telegram and said: "Tokyo Telegram from the base camp! Order our army to catch up with the breakout Chinese army and wipe them out!"

After receiving the telegram, Xiangyue Qingsi looked at it and immediately ordered: "Order the third division to attack the fleeing Chinese army from the direction of Xuancheng immediately; order the No. 18 division to immediately establish a defensive position in Wuhu to intercept the fleeing Chinese army The rest of the units follow and pursue!" At the same time as Xiang Yueqing gave the order, he received a telegram from the No.18 Division: "The Chinese army is about to break through the Wuhu defense line, and ask for support!"
