Wang Yaowu laughed heartily.

"The little devil missed one thing.

Good and Bad laughed.

"What's missing"

Wang Yaowu asked.

"In my opinion, the little devil should give you a Japanese woman."

Sun Yuanliang laughed out loud.

"Fuck you, my old man is a man with a wife, forget about the Japanese sissy, let's leave it to your brother, everyone knows that your brother likes to mess with women, just let you airdrop a Japanese sissy, to relieve you dude this time of loneliness."

Wang Yaowu laughed.

"Commander Wang, you are not mean. When you received the supplies, our [-]th Army dispatched a brigade to help you contain the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army. If it weren't for our containment, your troops would not be able to stop the [-]th Division." attack, should you give our [-]th Army some compensation?"

Luo Zhuoying took advantage of the fire to rob,

"No problem, all the materials will be divided into one-third of your [-]th Army, which is interesting enough."

Wang Yaowu smiled boldly.

"Then I will be disrespectful."

Luo Zhuoying laughed.

"Your 74th Army and our [-]th Army share the same disease, and you will never forget you if there are good things."

The sympathy Wang Yaowu said refers to their heavy losses in this battle.

Just when the generals were laughing.

The meeting room door opens.

"Commander Liang is here."

All the generals immediately stopped making noise, and raised their chests up one by one.

After these days of running-in, they have become accustomed to accepting Liang Xiao's command, and, judging from the current situation, this war is already a sure thing to win, and their resistance to Liang Xiao has decreased a lot.

Liang Xiao went to the command chair in the middle and sat down: , then pressed his hands down, signaling the generals to sit down.

After the generals sat down, he took the lead and said: "Everyone, the day after tomorrow is the day when we will attack with the Tenth Army. According to my estimation, the ammunition supplies of the Tenth Army are already facing exhaustion, but Yanagawa Hirasuke must not be willing to retreat, because Nanjing is on the way." In front of him, as long as he attacks with all his strength, taking Nanjing is just around the corner...."

"Commander Liang, how do you know that Yanagawa Heisuke will attack with all his strength, and if Sun is him, he will definitely withdraw his troops, because judging from the current situation of the enemy and ourselves, Nanjing's defense force is strong, and it cannot be captured overnight, and we have the right time The location is favorable, the ammunition is sufficient, and he waits for work at leisure. As long as Liu Chuanping is not out of his mind, he will retreat back to Zhenjiang, return to Suzhou and Hangzhou by water, and assist the central China dispatched army to deal with the national army on the front line in Hangzhou. .”

Sun Yuanliang said.

Liang Xiao sneered and said, "If you are Liu Chuanping, and you know that Nanjing's guard force has only [-] old and weak soldiers, and all the ammunition and supplies in the city have been burned, you only need to work harder to take down Nanjing City. Should we withdraw our troops or continue to attack?"

"Of course I will attack. The [-] old, weak and remnant soldiers have no ammunition and supplies. They are like living targets. Even if they have no ammunition, they still have to attack the city. As long as they enter the city to gain a firm foothold and let the air force drop supplies, Nanjing is mine. "

Sun Yuanliang said.

"How does the commander know what Yanagawa Hirasuke thinks?"

Song Xilian asked.

A sneer flashed across the corner of Liang Xiao's mouth, and he said: "A few days ago, a fire broke out in the city, and a whole street was burned to the ground. The fire lasted for a whole day and night. The police station reported that the fire was caused by accident due to dry weather, but it was not Yes, I ordered the police station to burn down this street."

When the senior generals heard this, they were shocked.

"The commander burned an entire street in order to make a show for the Japanese army, making them mistakenly believe that our army's strategic reserves were burned out. That's why Yanagawa Heisuke went deep alone and rushed straight to Nanjing."

Song Xilian said.

"That's right, that's exactly how we led his lone army deep into Nanjing, gradually consumed his ammunition and supplies, blocked waterways and traffic arteries, and cut off his supplies. when."

Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Commander, I think now is the best time to... eat up the 18th Army. At present, they are facing a shortage of ammunition. The 26th Division and the No.[-] Division are fighting against the [-]th Army. Our army is heavily suppressed. I can catch the little devil by surprise."

Wang Jingjiu said.

"No, now is not the time to press down with heavy troops. I want to show Yanagawa Hirasuke the hope of capturing Nanjing, let him press all the troops up, and then let him fall into despair and hesitation. The Japanese army is also flesh and blood. Once they fall into despair , their will will be greatly reduced, and then we will be sure to wipe them out."

Liang Xiao said.

"What if Yanagi Chuanhesuke doesn't take the bait and turns around and runs away?"

Wang Jingjiu said.

"So, here's a small one: adjust the battle plan."

Liang Xiao stood up and walked to the military map, picked up the bamboo pole and pointed to several places on the side of Wulong Mountain, and said: "In the previous battle, the 74th Army and the 78th Army suffered heavy casualties. This time, we will stay in Nanjing to rest. Song Xilian's [-]th Army quickly bypassed here, cut off the retreat route of the Japanese army, and blocked the traffic arteries north of Wulong Mountain."

"If the Japanese army turns around and flees, immediately tie up your pockets and join us to annihilate the Tenth Army. If the Tenth Army attacks Nanjing, the 78th Army will attack the rear of the Tenth Army and completely cut off the Tenth Army's way of life."

"Yes."

Song Xilian stood up and took the order.

Liang Xiao glanced at the senior generals, and said: "Everyone, this battle is about the dignity of the nation. Countless people are looking forward to it. The government is also watching us in Wuhan, and European countries are also watching us. Can you show the prestige of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty? It depends on this battle, please do your best."

"Yes."

All the generals stood up and took orders.

Chapter 63 The Japanese Army Flees

January [-]th.

Tangshan and Qixiashan positions were lost one after another, and the 26th and 117th divisions of the 118th Army guarding Qixiashan withdrew into Nanjing City.

Under the command of Yanagawa Hirasuke, the enemy's [-]th Army rushed towards Nanjing aggressively.

After the Battle of Wulong Mountain and the battles of Tangshan and Qixia Mountain, the total casualties of the Tenth Army of the enemy were about 7000 people, and there were about several thousand people who were lightly or seriously injured. There are nearly [-] elite soldiers, but their ammunition has been depleted. On average, each soldier has less than two rounds of ammunition, about one-fifth of the light and heavy artillery is left, and the dry food is exhausted. Wild vegetables and game allay your hunger.

After Liu Chuanping helped take down Qixia Mountain, he became very proud. In his eyes, Nanjing was already an isolated city, and it was within easy reach.

He once again sent a report to the Central China Expeditionary Army Command, requesting the air transport brigade to drop strategic supplies to the Qixia Mountain position.

However, his telegram was intercepted by the telecommunications department of the Nanjing Garrison Command.

When Chu Xiangxue placed Yanagawa Heisuke's telegram on the commander's desk.

Liang Xiao is convening the generals of all armies in Nanjing to lay out a battle plan to encircle and wipe out the Tenth Army.

In the previous battles, the 74th Army and the 71,72,26th Army suffered heavy casualties. This time they were used as a reserve force. The 5st, [-]nd, and [-]th Armies, with a total of more than [-] people, were used as frontal attack troops. The army will arrive at the gate of Zhonghua tomorrow evening, and then will be... the best time to encircle and wipe out the Tenth Army.

After the detailed battle plan was deployed, Liang Xiao waved his hands to let the generals of the armies go down to prepare.

He returned to his desk, picked up the telegram and looked at it, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he guessed that Yanagawa Heisuke would call Matsui Iwane again to ask for airdrops of supplies.

I'm afraid Matsui Iwane is also powerless at this moment, after all his [-] Central China Expeditionary Army consumes countless ammunition every day, even if the ammunition is airdropped to Yanagawa Hirasuke.

Besides, the last time the strategic materials of a whole brigade were airdropped, they were all handed over to the national army in Nanjing.

This time, even if he tightened his belt to airdrop supplies to the Tenth Army, it would be a drop in the bucket, and it would be difficult to solve the urgent needs of the Tenth Army.

However, even if it is a drop in the bucket, Liang Xiao will not let this little material fall into Liu Chuanping's assistant.

He put down the telegram and immediately issued a combat order to the Third Brigade of the Air Force, ordering them to monitor the movements of the Japanese Air Force from now on. The transport plane intercepted and prevented a single bullet from falling into Liu Chuanping's assistant.

...January [-]th, overcast.

The clouds were thick and the wind was blowing.

In the afternoon, snowflakes the size of goose feathers floated over Nanjing. This was the first snow in the south since the beginning of winter.

At this time, in the Jiangnan area, the temperature is as low as minus 020 degrees, which is the time when the cold wave invades the most.

Snowflakes fluttered one after another and fell to the ground, and the mountains danced to the Milky Way, which was quite spectacular.

It's a pity that this good snow came at a really bad time.

Liang Xiao stepped on military boots and wore a coat, and personally boarded the Zhonghua Gate. At this time, in his eyes, the snow outside the city seemed to be covered with a layer of silver.

"General, the forward reconnaissance team reported that the vanguard of the Tenth Army is only ten miles away from the Zhonghua Gate, and it is expected to arrive in an hour."

Chen Hua said softly.

"A good show is coming."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, in an infinitely good mood, and said, "Tell the headquarters kitchen to serve stewed pork tonight."

"Yes."

Chen Hua nodded slightly.

"The war is about to begin, and I should go back to the headquarters to sleep."

Liang Xiao stretched lazily, and walked down from the top of the city with the guards.

As far as he is concerned, everything has been arranged and the rest is left to see.

However, it seems that even God is helping him. In bad weather, Japanese military transport planes dare not drop supplies to the ground. After all, the high altitude cold current is too strong. If you are not careful, it will malfunction, and the plane will be destroyed.

That is, the Tenth Army will not take a single bullet for air support.

Without bullets and dry food, Liang Xiao dared to conclude that the Tenth Army would not be able to last for three days at most.

Garrison Command.

In a small room next to the hall, Liang Xiao set up a pot of charcoal and was slowly sipping tea. The noise outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Report to the general, Yu Likui sent someone from Xiaguan Wharf to the headquarters to report that a thin layer of ice has formed on the river from Xiaguan Wharf to Jiangbei."

Chen Hua's beautiful face flashed with shock, she clearly knew that the Xiaguan Wharf was the only means of survival for the defenders in the city, and the freezing of the river at this time meant that God had completely cut off the retreat of all the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing City.

"It's all right, it's just a thin layer of ice."

Liang Xiao said lightly, if before he regarded Xiaguan Wharf as a way of life, now for him, Xiaguan Wharf is just a waterway across the river.

"General, there is one more bad news."

Chen Hua looked shocked with a trace of hesitation.

"Say."

Liang Xiao has already guessed seven or eight points.

"A call from Hangzhou, the Japanese Kunizaki detachment attacked the flank of the First Army, causing the First Army's defense line to collapse, and the Japanese army is rushing southward along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway."

Chen Huadao.

"The First Army has been fighting for more than four months from the Battle of Songhu to now, and has suffered heavy losses. In the Battle of Nanjing, the First Army fought fiercely on the periphery for several days, and then jumped out of the outer front and went to Hangzhou to intercept the Japanese troops of the Central China Dispatch Army. It should be lowered.”

Liang Xiao said calmly, without any panic on his face.

"General, you don't seem to be worried at all"

Chen Hua asked in confusion.

"Matsui Iwane recklessly broke through the Hangzhou National Army's line because he also realized that the Tenth Army was in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, but it was already too late."

Liang Xiao sneered.

"General, our army only has the 78th Army on the periphery, and the task of the 78th Army is to plunge into the pocket of the encirclement. Who will stop the Japanese army from the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway?"

Chen Huadao.

"Give power to Huang Jie, and order him to lead the Hangzhou National Army to launch a counterattack against Central China, and also send power to the First Army, so that Hu Zongnan can block the gap, and don't send another Japanese army over. As for the Guozaki detachment, leave it to Wuhu The special combat division nearby made Sun Bing slow down the attack speed of the Guoqi detachment."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly. The old devil Matsui Iwane still had a very strategic vision. He forcibly broke through the blockade at this time and sent the Kunisaki Detachment to attack along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. Go down to Nanjing.

Boom...the sound of gunfire.

Listening to this movement, it seems to be the sound of mountain cannons from Guanghuamen.

"The Japanese are attacking."

Chen Huadao.

"Hirasuke Yanagawa's attack is undoubtedly sounding the death knell for him."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

At this moment, positions such as Guanghuamen, Zhonghuamen, Tongjimen and Zijinshan were all attacked by the Japanese army.

The troops of the Central Army stationed at each gate obeyed the orders carefully, and adopted a slow counterattack against the Japanese attack. If the Japanese army felt that Nanjing was right in front of their eyes, they only needed to work harder to capture Nanjing. city.

Liu Chuanping commanded the three 3rd divisions to launch a general attack on the defending national army. According to his order, the artillery unit fired all the shells within 10 minutes, and then the infantry and armored vehicles launched an attack on the gate of Nanjing, taking all the cities in one fell swoop. Door.
