Chapter 158 Shame of the Alliance!
The huge explosion that occurred near the Presidential Palace not only shocked the attacking Japanese 18th Division, but even the other Japanese troops who had entered Jinling at this moment could not help but look in the direction of the explosion.
Although these Japanese troops didn't know what was going on, they could still know that there were still defending troops there who were resisting tenaciously. This also means that the 18th Division, which was responsible for attacking the Presidential Palace, would definitely encounter a lot of trouble.
At the same time, many Jinling people gathered in the international security zone also heard the explosions from the direction of the Presidential Palace. While staring, many people were also very curious. Are there still troops insisting on resisting at this time?
Hu Biao naturally had no way to care about the attention caused by the explosion. When the smoke and dust formed by the explosion disappeared, looking at the messy streets and the houses collapsed on both sides of the street, Hu Biao could probably guess the Japanese's losses.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work is not in vain! If this explosion continues, the Japanese who have entered the city will probably fall into trouble!"
"Captain, what do you think the Japanese will attack next?"
"Who knows! The soldiers come to block the enemy and the water comes to flood the earth. As long as we stick to our positions, it will not be that easy for the Japanese to advance to the Presidential Palace smoothly. This is just the beginning, and there should be a fierce battle at night!"
Compared to being conducive to defense during the day, the Japanese attack is very disadvantaged. In the evening, the attacking side may be able to use sneak attacks. In the absence of lighting, the Death Battalion responsible for defense will also suffer more.
If you can't see the target clearly, how can you kill the Japanese who attacked at night?
Thinking of this, Hu Biao immediately called Huang Ershuan to explain it to her ear. Huang Ershuan quickly returned to the Presidential Palace and conveyed what Hu Biao told her to Liu Guotong and others, so that they could start preparing for a possible night battle.
When Liu Guotong, who was staying in the presidential palace, learned that there was an explosion before, had at least a few hundred Japanese devils killed. He was also excited: "Beautiful! Can you ask Captain Hu when will we be allowed to fight?"
"The battalion commander said that there should be a fierce battle tonight, and we will probably all go to the battlefield by then. The Japanese have entered the city now. If they know that the Presidential Palace is still under our control, they will probably surround them all!"
"In such a large area, it's not that easy for the Japanese to join the siege! OK, go back and tell Battalion Commander Hu that I will do what he told me as soon as possible. If there are any orders, just send someone to tell me."
Logically speaking, Hu Biao should be the one who is in charge of the Presidential Office to supervise the troops. But Hu Biao is unwilling to stay in the command center and is willing to go to the front line to participate in the battle. In this case, the rest of the matters in the Dead Soldiers' Camp will be left to Liu Guotong.
Fortunately, the backbone of the Death Soldiers Camp is still dominated by the Third Brigade and the Fifth Regiment commanded by Liu Guotong. Now Hu Biao is leading troops in front to block the Japanese. The remnants of the Third Brigade and the Fifth Regiment, which had just retreated from Zijin Mountain last night, finally had the opportunity to have a good rest.
If we really want to fight continuously, Hu Biao is worried that these troops will not be able to bear it. If we can rest for a day, the spirit of these soldiers will become better when the night battles are fought. If we fight with the Japanese, we should not suffer too much.
It is also the responsibility of Hu Biao, the temporary commander, to make timely combat adjustments according to changes in the battlefield. As the intelligence officer, Chen Gongshu, from time to time, received reconnaissance intelligence sent by the Military Intelligence Officer from time to time.
It was learned that the Japanese who entered the city had committed many massacres around Jinling City, including the defending troops who failed to escape from the encirclement, and the innocent people who followed the troops to break through, and the number of murders was increasing.
Seeing these intelligence officers reconnaissance and verification of the news sent back, Zhao Xianxiong said with tears in his eyes and hoarse voice: "Sir Chen, these Japanese devils are really beasts! Have you sent these telegrams?"
According to Hu Biao's previous instructions, once a similar massacre occurs, it must be sent out in a clear form of power. These bloody numbers will be used to tell the military and civilians of the War of Resistance in the country what happened in Jinling.
Perhaps doing so will scare many timid citizens. But Hu Biao would rather believe that these blood-like cruel facts will arouse more conscience-minded anti-Japanese war soldiers and civilians who share the same hatred for the enemy, and the Japanese who create these massacres will fight to the end.
To a certain extent, Hu Biao also hopes to use the help of force Jiang Jiang who is far away in Wuhan to punish those generals who have left their posts and become fleeing generals. Moreover, most of the main forces of the defending troops have successfully broken through.
Even if these troops arrive safely at the rear, they believe that these surviving breakthrough troops will no longer trust their elders. It is impossible for a commander who abandons his subordinates and flees on the battlefield to gain the trust and obedience of his subordinates.
Facing Zhao Xian's inquiry, Chen Gongshu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Send it! Just follow what your battalion commander said, send it with clear code and power!"
The result is obvious that with major radio stations across the country, they received another clear signal from the Jinling Death Soldier Camp. Looking at the translated massacre, many people with conscience couldn't help but curse the Japanese.
On the other hand, the Japanese generals responsible for the frontline war also found it very difficult to see these massacres reported one after another. Even if the Japanese army could ignore the condemnation of the international community, they knew that doing so would arouse more rebels.
Even the temporary commander Hikari Asaka, Hirohiko, said a little angry: "Bageya Road! What's going on with the Nishima Division? Haven't this damn dead soldier camp been destroyed for such a long time? What's the food for Sadao Nishima?"
Facing the roaring Hatohiko Asaka, the other generals couldn't help feeling sad for Sayuki Oshima. The original credit for seizing the Presidential Palace would undoubtedly increase the achievements of Sayuki Oshima. But who knew that he had picked up a tough bone.
After receiving the telegram from the headquarters again, Sadao Ushima said with a headache: "These damn guys actually emerged from there! Without chariots, how can the infantry launch an attack just by just the infantry?"
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, please do not ask the headquarters to send the heavy artillery brigade to provide artillery fire support! The Chinese troops in the city are very smart and set up the machine gun positions in the middle of a solid floor. Our mountain guns will definitely not collapse the house.
If we want to completely dismantle their fortifications, we must use heavy artillery to razor all the buildings to the ground. In this way, we will attack with our superiority of troops, which will severely damage these damn Chinese defenders."
Hearing the advice of the chief of staff of the division, Sadao Niujima was silent for a while and said, "In my name, I asked the headquarters for tactical guidance. Send a small group of troops to rescue all the wounded people in the city.
In addition, I sent a reconnaissance force to see if there was any way to detour near the Presidential Palace. Secondly, send a report to the Special High School. I want to know who the commander of this force is? The persistent force belongs to that force!"
"Hi!"
After receiving a telegram from Sadao Niujima, Matsui Ishien also said unexpectedly: "The 33rd Regiment actually lost more than half of its troops. It seems that this Death Soldiers Camp is indeed very difficult. Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"How many shells are there in the heavy artillery brigade?"
"The number should not be large, but it should be enough. At present, our other combat troops no longer need the heavy artillery brigade to provide artillery fire support. When the shells are transported from the rear, I am afraid that the heavy artillery brigade will also need to rush to the next battlefield."
In order to eliminate more defending troops retreating from Jinling and breaking through the encirclement, several combat divisions attacking Jinling are now pursuing in batches. During this pursuit, the heavy artillery brigade is useless at all.
Although the number of artillery shells reserved by the brigade is not large, in order to destroy this dead soldiers camp that is guarding the Presidential Palace of Jinling as soon as possible, it is definitely not enough to do anything. Even Matsui Ishien plans to use the Air Force to carry out bombing.
I just thought that the buildings near the Presidential Palace will have a great effect on the Japanese army's future rule and management of Jinling. Once a large-scale bombing is carried out, these places will be reduced to ruins or seas of fire, which is a bit of a pity!
On the other hand, when dispatching heavy artillery brigades to assist in the battle, you only need to focus on the hidden areas of the defenders and destroy the hidden buildings of the defenders, the pressure on the 18th Division, which is responsible for the attack, will inevitably be much less. At that time, it will be easier to capture the Presidential Palace.
After receiving a telegram from the headquarters, Sadao Uoshima looked at the silent Akataro Inoue and said, "Colonel Inoue, I will give you another chance to lead the rest of the corps to continue to carry out an oppressive attack on the defenders in the city.
What your headquarters has to do next is to force the defenders to continuously increase their troops to block and defend. After the heavy artillery brigade arrives, I will remind you in advance. At that time, your headquarters must withdraw from the frontier positions in the shortest time. Do you understand?"
"Hi! Thank you for your trust in the division commander. You must ensure that you complete the task."
"Remember, the shame of your corps must be washed away with enemies and blood. If you want to avenge your corps' warriors, try to restrain more defenders from attacking as much as possible. Wait for the shelling to begin, let them pay the price of bleeding."
"Hi!"
As the division dispatched troops, they began to enter the ruins and rescue the surviving troops. The Japanese in charge of searching and rescue also did not dare to gather together, for fear of attracting the attention of the opposite machine guns.
Hu Biao saw this scene and said directly: "Er Shuan, lead the sniper team to attack and hunt down the Japanese who entered the city. In a word, don't let the Japanese rescue feel at ease, I want them to compensate for some more people!"
"clear!"
As Hu Biao issued an order for the sniper team to attack, more than a dozen snipers began to rely on the ruins of the battlefield and use the ultra-long range of the sniper rifle to start shooting cold guns on the ruined battlefield, hunting down the Japanese troops trying to rescue the surviving Japanese.
Listening to the scattered gunshots coming from the city and learning that the defenders were hunting and rescue soldiers, Sadao Niujima also said angrily: "Baga! Do these damn Chinese troops, don't they understand the genital way at all?"
Sadao Niujima, who said this, never thought that the Japanese army did less like this? Compared to the Japanese who fell at the gun at the Death Soldiers' Camp at this moment, there were actually more soldiers and civilians in the War of Resistance against Japanese soldiers at this moment!
