Chapter 177: I would rather be broken jade
For many people who had not yet had time to escape from Jinling, yesterday was the first day the Japanese entered the city. These people were worried, afraid that these Japanese who entered the city would come to the door and pull them out of their hiding place.
After the gunfire that lasted in the middle of the night subsided, these people finally couldn't stand their sleepiness, but just when they were sleepy, there were continuous shocking explosions in the city again, and when they woke them up again, they also realized that a new day had begun.
The 18th Japanese Division, who also struggled for a night, heard the gunshots coming from the direction of the military camp and knew that the Japanese troops responsible for assisting should catch fire with the defenders who were staying there. Through this situation, the specific distribution of the defenders was analyzed.
Last night, many defenders broke through at night, and many Japanese troops suspected that the defenders who were defending the Presidential Palace had already broken through. If this is true, it would be a good thing for the 18th Division at this moment.
Thinking about it now, perhaps as the headquarters analyzed, there are still defenders near the Presidential Palace to resist. And these remaining defenders are afraid that they have been prepared for sacrifice. No one can be more comfortable fighting such troops.
Listening to the continuous explosions from the direction of the military camp, he walked out of the temporary command center and came to Sadao Niujima on the roof of a building. He put down the telescope in his hand and sighed: "This battle is not easy to fight today! These defenders are afraid that they have already had a desperate ambition!"
Judging from the scale of the explosion, Sadao Niujima can analyze that these explosions were not caused by the Japanese army, so they must be explosions made by defenders. During this explosion, most soldiers located in the explosion area were difficult to survive.
Just as Sadao Niujima was considering whether he could send troops to attack, the re-appointed adjutant said with a serious look on his face: "General, the telegram sent by the Sixth Division, their search team suffered ambush and suffered serious losses!"
"Are the troops that arrived on the battlefield earlier in the 6th Division? They came so early!"
Sadao Ushima, who received the telegram, did not say much. As the commander of the Japanese division, he knew very well that the commanders of each division were competing in private. If possible, the lieutenant generals and the commanders of the division hoped to be promoted to general one day!
Only the division commander with the best record can be promoted to general and become a commander like Matsui Ishione, commanding a dispatched army in one aspect. Such power is also what these division commanders desire.
"The general, the Sixth Division encountered special bombs, and the infantry brigades they entered the combat area suffered heavy casualties. Even the surviving soldiers were injured by special bombs."
"What about Na! Special bombs? Bageya Road, the special bombs from these defenders? Didn't the Special High School class reply?"
"Yes! In the telegram sent by the commander earlier, there were already commanders who suspected the defenders, and it is very likely that they were commanders who had destroyed our army earlier. This batch of special missiles may be lost on the army earlier."
Listening to the report of the temporary adjutant, Sadao Niujima quickly said: "Appoint the troops to carry gas masks when fighting. The defender commander is really a lunatic. Would he not be worried about the consequences of the spread of special bombs?"
The consequences of using special bombs in urban combat can be imagined. But in Hu Biao's view, the people in the combat area were driven away in advance, and the number of special bombs he buried in the explosion area was not large, and the pollution caused was not large.
The most important thing is that the international community knows that the national army does not have the technology to make special bombs at all. The special bombs that appear on the battlefield are all made by the Japanese army without exception. Who would say that the polluted areas formed by these special bombs were made by him?
I am afraid that after the incident comes out, everyone will suspect that it was a special bomb fired by the Japanese army during the attack, and the purpose is to destroy the defenders' will to resist. As long as Hu Biao does not admit it, no one will believe that the special bomb was detonated by Hu Biao.
Sadao Niujima, who figured this out, also felt a headache. If the defenders really had a batch of special bullets in their hands, then they would really have to be extremely careful when they were responsible for the attack. If they were not careful, the offensive troops would have suffered heavy casualties.
During the sneak attack last night, many officers and soldiers guarding the command unfortunately inhaled fatal gas and were rushed to the rear hospital for treatment. However, as the commander of the division, Sadao Niujima knew that it would be difficult for those officers and soldiers to return to the army.
Waiting for the end of those polluted officers and soldiers is to retire and leave the army. Even if they can survive in the end, they will become permanent patients and suffer from fatal gas until they die in this endless torture.
Three streets with Japanese search teams were launched in succession. With the collapsed ruins and special bombs mixed in it, Hu Biao created a pollution belt. With this pollution belt, the Japanese did not dare to attack for a while.
Later combat troops had special training in "through the biochemical zone". If you were not careful, you would be infected with the deadly gas, which would be very likely to cause non-combat reductions in the troops. The Japanese army must be very clear about the harm of special bombs.
Looking at the combat platoon that had been replaced, Hu Biao called a soldier from the guard platoon and asked him to stay on the blocking position. The still-reserved streets actually had explosives buried, but there were no Japanese to visit.
The remaining guard team only needs to prevent the Japanese army from entering from here. If there are too many Japanese devils, then detonate the remaining explosive traps and blow up all the streets leading to the Presidential Palace, preventing Japanese devils from catching the way out.
Hu Biao, who returned to the Presidential Palace with the guards and the rescued combat platoon, also saw Chen Gongshu who had already risen. Chen Gongshu was also very happy to see Hu Biao rescue the combat platoon left behind in the military camp.
He smiled and said, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work, come in quickly. The kitchen has already prepared breakfast. Everyone should go to have a meal! Have a full meal and wait until you can continue to fight and kill the enemy!"
Originally, in Chen Gongshu's opinion, the rescue of this surrounded combat platoon had not suffered much loss, which was somewhat less worthwhile. But now it seems that Hu Biao brought with him many people, but more people were brought back.
One more person will give you more power, especially when you are about to face a tough battle. When you were instructing everyone to have a meal quickly, Chen Gongshu continued: "Plan Liu sent a telegram to you earlier, and Platoon Leader Xu has successfully met with them."
"Okay! This is indeed good news! What we have to do next is to persevere until dark!"
After learning that Xu Sandao and his party arrived at Zijin Mountain safely and successfully met with Liu Guotong's headquarters, Hu Biao finally let go of his heart. In Hu Biao's view, as long as Xu Sandao and the commando were there, the special combat concept he taught could be preserved.
Although the special combat concepts taught to Xu Sandao and others were still very immature, Hu Biao still believed that with such an assault team that was good at disguising and lurking infiltration, it would also cause great trouble to the Japanese army in the future when they were behind enemy lines.
Even though he wanted to know how the commando broke through this time, Hu Biao still did not send a telegram to ask. Hu Biao thought it would be better not to ask about this kind of thing that would cause trouble after hearing it. Even if he knew, what could he do?
The dead are already here, and no one knows when the alive will fall down at this moment. As the commander, Hu Biao should consider more for the living. As for those who sacrifice, someone will deal with it accordingly after the war.
After breakfast, Hu Biao brought the sniper team beside him to the blocking position where Qin Tianyou was responsible. Looking at the warriors who were also eating in rotation, Hu Biao looked at the ruins in front of him and asked, "The Japanese are not moving?"
"No! It's always quiet! Captain, is the Japanese conspiracy?"
"I guess I'm waiting for something! If nothing happens, you will either wait for artillery or wait for the plane! In this way, the battle ahead will still be left to you. I will go back to the Presidential Palace to command. If the Japanese cannons are bombarded, you will retreat in a hidden way depending on the situation.
If the Japanese use heavy artillery, the artillery fire will be extended and withdrawn to the Presidential Palace immediately. If you continue to use mountain cannons, you will lead two companies to hold on for a while and can eliminate more Japanese, which will be better.
If the Japanese use the plane, they will definitely deal with the Presidential Palace first. If I go back, I will just organize the air defense company to implement air defense. If I can beat two planes down, I believe that the Japanese planes will not dare to be too arrogant."
"Okay, just leave the matter here to me!"
"Remember! Don't forget to give surprises to the Japanese when you withdraw your presidential palace!"
"Remember!"
Knowing what the so-called surprise was in Hu Biao's mouth, Qin Tianyou also replied with a smile. Perhaps as Hu Biao said when setting up a blocking position and a trap, he wanted to completely turn the streets and houses near the Presidential Palace into ruins.
At least in a short period of time, even if the Japanese occupy this area, they will not be able to use it. Even for a long time, this place will become a dangerous area. It is even more delusional to want to occupy the Presidential Palace for publicity.
Compared with the three months of the Battle of Song and Shanghai, except for the neutral areas of the public concession, the rest of the areas where the Kuomintang troops were stationed were destroyed. Today, Jinling City does not seem to have suffered much trauma.
In Hu Biao's opinion, this situation was completely abnormal. As the capital of the Republic of China, how could the invaders be allowed to occupy it calmly? Hu Biao could not control other places, at least he would turn it into ruins in the surrounding areas of the Presidential Palace.
Only in this way can the Japanese know that if they want to occupy Jinling and even other cities, they must pay the price they deserve. They would rather be broken than to resist the will of shattering, but also let more soldiers and civilians in the War of Resistance.
Hu Biao, who returned to the Presidential Palace, began to prepare for preventing air raids. Fortunately, there were many basements of the Presidential Palace, which were very suitable for serving as air raid shelters. As for the air raid company, he had been staying in the garden and was on standby.
Once it is discovered that the Japanese are really sending planes to attack, the air defense company will also take corresponding countermeasures. Small-caliber anti-aircraft firepower will deal with Japanese reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets, while large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery will deal with bombers.
Although this counterattack may not last for too long, it can still shock the arrogant Japanese Air Force and let them know that it will cost some money to bomb the Presidential Palace. The sky above the Presidential Palace will also become full of murderous intent!
