The system sent me to fight

They are waiting for the good news from the front-line offensive troops to occupy and control the entire Nanjing city.

"Tsuda-kun, look, this is Nanjing, the current capital of the Chinese people, and it will soon be at the feet of our Imperial Japanese Army!" Kazuki Nakamura stood by the wall in high spirits, pointing to the front like a river and a mountain. Nanjing City Road.

Because of his surprise attack plan, the imperial army was able to quickly occupy Nanjing.

I believe that it won't be long before his name Nakamura Kazuki will resound throughout the military world, and his promotion goes without saying.

Therefore, this old devil is a little proud and complacent at this time, which is also human nature.

Seeing that Nanjing is at your fingertips and victory is imminent, and he has his own share of the credit, Tsuda Tatsuhiko's admiration for Commander Nakamura Kazuki has also been raised to the point where it cannot be added.

So he immediately slapped a resounding flattery and said: "The ability to take down the capital of China so easily is all thanks to your ingenious plan, Chief Nakamura!

Otherwise, the imperial army does not know how many casualties it will take to occupy this place!

It is a great honor to be able to fight side by side with Chief Nakamura and witness this historic moment! "

Nakamura Kazuki said modestly: "Tsuda-kun has won the award. After this battle, you will have a bright future! I hope we can serve the empire together in the future!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, a liaison soldier ran up along the climbing path.

Seeing his flustered face, Nakamura Kazuki immediately put away the smug smile on his face, then frowned and asked, "What's going on, why are you so flustered?"

The liaison soldier ignored the salute, so he reported eagerly: "Your Excellency, something is wrong. The 149th Regiment of the Imperial Army Infantry was counterattacked by a large number of elite troops of the Chinese Army. Army chase!

As a result, the marines were forced to retreat, and the current situation has become extremely unfavorable to the imperial army! "

"Nani?" Kazuki Nakamura was taken aback.

Tsuda Tatsuhiko next to him was even more disbelieving.

Isn't one's own army already invincible, and victory is in sight?

How could the situation of the battle be reversed in the blink of an eye?

Kazuki Nakamura calmed down his turbulent mood, squinted his eyes and looked at Nanjing City in front of him, and said slowly with some reluctance: "It must be the reinforcements from the Chinese Army have arrived!

Now it seems that the opportunity to seize and control the whole city has disappeared!

Order the 149th Infantry Regiment and the Marine Corps to immediately shrink their forces and turn to defense. "

This old devil was able to come up with a vicious plan to sneak across the Yangtze River waterway to surprise Nanjing, so he is naturally not a person who likes to use his emotions.

Just think about it and make an informed decision right now.

Tatsuhiko Tsuda couldn't keep up with Kazuki Nakamura's train of thought, so he couldn't help asking in surprise, "What do you mean, sir?"

"Since the Chinese army has not collapsed across the board and fled away from the city, they must gather heavy troops to counterattack us in order to retake the city we occupied!" Kazuki Nakamura took a deep breath and explained with squinted eyes: "In such a situation Now, we have no strength or opportunity to seize the whole city when we are not superior in military strength! Of course, we must shrink our troops in time and switch to defense!"

After a pause, the old devil went on to say, "With the fire support of the naval guns, we can hold on to Xiayi Gate and Xiaguan Wharf.

As long as this area is defended, it is equivalent to sticking a sharp dagger in the neck of the Chinese army.Let them face the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy at any time and unable to gather all their troops to block the imperial army head-on!

As long as the main force of the imperial army is crushed from the frontal battlefield, it's time for us to launch a counterattack!

At that time, we will attack back and forth with the main force of the imperial army, and we will be able to wipe out the Chinese defenders in Nanjing!Maximize and expand the results of this battle! "

"Yoxi! Chief Nakamura has a great opinion, and I admire him for his humble position!" Tsuda Tatsuhiko showed a look of surprise, and quickly praised.

After receiving the order, thousands of devils quickly withdrew their forces and retreated to the northeastern urban area where Xiayimen is the main area.

At the same time, the dozen or so devil warships straddling the Yangtze River also fired in unison again, firing heavy shells at Nanjing City.

The soldiers of the national army who were chasing were immediately enveloped by violent explosions, causing casualties.

Constrained by the Japanese naval gunfire, Song Yinguo and Gui Shuzhen had to suspend their counterattack.

Because, under the firepower of the Japanese army's powerful naval guns, it is simply not something that blood and courage can compete with.

This point was verified as early as a few months ago in the Songhu battle.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese elite troops paid a huge price for casualties under the combined air strikes of Japanese naval gun fire and carrier-based aircraft, and finally led to the failure of the entire Songhu Battle.

Of course they won't suffer the same big loss in Song Yinguo again!

Therefore, they decisively ordered to stop the pursuit, and commanded the troops to retreat out of the fire range of the Japanese naval guns.

In fact, with the ultra-long range of the Japanese naval guns, half of Nanjing City was within the range of enemy firepower.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Song Yinguo and Gui Shuzhen to give up half of Nanjing City.They just retreated temporarily and waited for the Japanese shelling to stop before making other plans.

Fortunately, because the Northeast City is close to the Xiaguan Wharf, the people have almost evacuated before, and basically nine rooms are empty.

This did not cause too many casualties.

the other side.

Yang Jing is leading the vanguard of the Huben Regiment, rushing desperately towards Nanjing.

Finally, at 1:[-] p.m., we successfully arrived at the north shore of Xiaguan Wharf.

At this time, the devil's naval fleet had stopped bombing Nanjing City.

After Yang Jing got in touch with the garrison headquarters, he found out the general situation and learned that the 36th Division and other departments were trying to launch a counterattack when the Japanese naval guns stopped bombarding.

Immediately advise them to stop their actions.

Because, as long as they dare to launch a counterattack, the devil's gunboat will definitely open fire immediately.

In this way, they will not be able to regain the lost Xiayimen and Xiaguan Wharf at all, but will only increase casualties.

After Luo Youqing and Song Yinguo learned that Yang Jing had another good plan, they readily agreed to Yang Jing's suggestion.

Abandoned the plan to continue the counterattack, but built defensive firepower in the city to form a confrontation with the Japanese raiding forces.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, Yang Jing came near the river bank, on a raised soil slope, and raised his gun and binoculars to observe the information on the other bank.

At this time, Pa Er hurried up from behind the slope and asked: "Regimental seat, the artillery position has been set up, do you want to bombard the Devil fleet immediately?"

"No, now is not the time!"

Yang Jing shook his head, rejecting the proposal to rake his ears: "The maximum caliber of our field guns is only 105mm, and the caliber of most of them is 75mm.

Field guns of this caliber do not have dozens of guns, and it is difficult to sink Japanese ships.

The devil's naval guns all have a minimum caliber of more than 100mm, and there are many naval guns with a caliber of 200mm or even 300mm.

If we fire rashly, we will expose the artillery positions.

Maybe the Japanese ship hadn't been sunk yet, but it was taken over by the devil's naval gun first.

Moreover, the navy and air force of the Japanese army may come to the sky over Nanjing at any time, and the threat of these existences to our artillery battalion is even more deadly.

Since the Japanese naval guns did not bombard the city of Nanjing again, we simply wait until it gets dark. "

After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "The top priority now is to pay attention to concealment and ensure that the artillery positions will not be discovered by the Japanese army. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Rake ears deeply nodded heavily.

Ma Tong next to him asked again: "Tuan Zuo, do we have to wait until dark?"

"No!" Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Let's go to Nanjing City!"

Chapter 166 The Huben Regiment Enters the City, Yang Jing Was Attacked

Ma Tong asked suspiciously, "Shall we go to Nanjing City?"

"Yes!" Yang Jing nodded heavily in agreement: "Compared to these devil ships, those Japanese raiding troops who broke into the city are the most serious troubles.

Therefore, we must kill them all!

In this way, the devil's ship will become a polished commander, which is nothing to worry about! "

After speaking, Yang Jing briefly explained to Pa Er, and then led the guard company, reconnaissance company, cavalry company, and sharpshooter company and continued to rush upstream.

Keeping away from the sight of the Japanese warships and blockade, they arrived at the Pukou area.

Only then did the army stop.

Tian Cheng, the company commander of the cavalry company, raised his eyes and forgot to look around. He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Tuan Zuo, there are no boats around here. How do brothers cross the river?"

Although Yang Jing has a few small steamers and some rubber boats in his portable space, it must not be possible to suddenly take them out of thin air.

However, he was prepared for a long time, showing an inscrutable smile, and said, "Let the brothers take out all the inflatable daughter-in-laws that they carry with them, and inflate them all!"

The quick-witted Ma Tong immediately came to his senses, and said with a surprised face: "Using an inflatable daughter-in-law to cross the river is high, really high!

Tuan Zuo, you are really amazing! "

Tian Cheng, Hou Zi and others also suddenly realized: "So the inflatable daughter-in-law is still useful?"

Looking at the surprised expressions of his subordinates, Yang Jing seemed to have done something insignificant, and continued: "It's just that the water in this river is a bit cold, brothers have to be patient!"

Tian Chengdao: "This coldness is nothing at all!"

Indeed, for the Sichuan Army, which has always been under difficult conditions, it is nothing at all to just cross a distance of hundreds of thousands of meters in the icy river.

Yang Jing said again: "Brothers, when crossing the river, you must take off all your clothes and wrap them in kraft paper!

The less you wear, the better! "

the other side.

Xiayimen, the temporary headquarters of the Japanese raid force.

Tsuda Tatsuhiko walked down from the city wall, went out of the city gate, and came to the command post built outside the city wall. He said to the commander Kazuki Nakamura in a puzzled way: "Chief Nakamura, I don't know something about my humble position. Just now, the Chinese Army has clearly been captured. Our naval guns are repulsed, why don't you order the troops to take advantage of the situation to counterattack?

With the fire support of the naval gun group, we might be able to turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop and regain the previously occupied urban area! "

Nakamura Kazuki looked up at him unhurriedly, and said lightly, "And then?"

"Then?"

Tsuda Tatsuhiko was taken aback by the question, "Then of course he took advantage of the situation and captured the entire city of Nanjing!"

"Ha ha!"

Nakamura Kazuki smiled without comment, raised his hand to greet Tsuda Tatsuhiko and said, "Tsuda-kun, come, sit down and play a game of chess with me!"

Only then did Tatsuhiko Tsuda notice that a table of Go had already been set up in front of Commander Kazuki Nakamura.

Although a little absent-minded, he sat down as promised.

Immediately afterwards, the two began to play chess.

It didn't take long for Tsuda Tatsuhiko, who didn't care about it, to be killed by Nakamura Kazuki and suffered a disastrous defeat.

Seeing that a big dragon on the chessboard is about to be eaten, the whole game will be lost.

At this moment, Nakamura Kazuki stopped, and said to Tsuda Tatsuhiko slowly: "Tsuda-kun, look, the current situation of the Battle of Nanjing is like a chess game between you and me.

I represent the Imperial Army, and you represent the Chinese Army.

And our landing force that made a surprise attack from the Yangtze River waterway is these pawns that surround your big dragon!

The main force of the imperial army is the last pawn in my hand!

Therefore, we only need to continue to surround the big dragon of Nanjing to win a big victory.

Acting without authorization may cause this big dragon to escape, do you understand?Tsuda-kun? "

Tsuda Tatsuhiko nodded half-understanding, but quickly shook his head again.

Nakamura Kazuki sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to explain in a simple way: "Tsuda-kun, the reason why I didn't order to take the opportunity to counterattack is very simple.

That is, the naval guns of the imperial army are not enough to cover the entire Nanjing area, and, as time goes by, the reinforcements of the Chinese army will only increase.

Furthermore, Nanjing is the capital of China. In order to defend Nanjing, these Chinese troops will fight bloody battles with the imperial army at all costs!

Therefore, with only this little force in our hands, it is okay to rely on the fire support of the naval guns to hold on; if we force a counterattack, once we are separated from the timely support of the naval guns, we will definitely lose the battle!

At that time, our death in battle is nothing; it has affected the entire battle situation, even if we die a hundred times, we will not be able to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!

Tsuda-kun, do you understand now? "

Tsuda Tatsuhiko finally understood it completely. He quickly stood up, slammed his legs together, and then paused heavily: "Hay! I understand, thank you, Chief Nakamura, for your teaching!"

Nakamura Kazuki continued: "Tsuda-kun, you are more than brave, but not resourceful, so don't be impulsive in the future!

Many Chinese people are no worse than us in intelligence and intelligence, and even in the previous thousands of years of history, they have always been the strongest and most outstanding nation.

Although now, due to some historical reasons, China is temporarily behind our Great Japanese Empire.

However, even a sleeping army can hurt people!
