Chapter 328: Leaving (Volume 3 Finale)
The only remaining in Jiangyin City is Yuan Youren's battalion. Their mission is to block the enemy for five hours. In fact, five hours will pass in a flash. Moreover, the Japanese army did not dare to attack the Japanese army at random at this time, and they suffered too much from the losses of the 318th Army. So even if the 318th Army gave up Jiangyin, they had to consider suspiciously for a while to see if there was any fraud.
I have to say that Chiaki Shigetoki directly rushed to the city gate for military merits is a bit dangerous. If it is normal, even if the 318th Army retreats, it can still leave them a deep memory. Unfortunately, Wang Mingyu and others have no time to look around with the Japanese army. Their purpose is to temporarily evacuate this area of right and wrong. As long as you evacuate wherever you go, according to Wang Mingyu's idea, you will go to Nanjing.
After Shigefuji Chiaki and Miyamoto briefly discussed it, Miyamoto felt that his previous brigade would be a little unreasonable if he didn't go out, so Miyamoto let his brigade start the first round of tentative attack. Their goal was to open up the entire Jiangyin defense line, rather than occupying a Jiangyin Castle Miyamoto's heart had now put aside most of the stones in his heart.
The capture of the city gate of Jiangyin County was at least a qualitative leap. If nothing unexpected happens, Miyamoto was confident that he would open the defense line of Jiangyin within a week. At this moment, the Japanese troops, except for the Jiangyin line, basically began to surround Nanjing. However, Nanjing City had not been attacked by too many wars at this time. The Japanese army used aviation power to consume national defense power in Nanjing City most of the time.
Miyamoto's attack was responded without any surprise. Miyamoto commanded his troops and did not dare to advance rashly. The Japanese army began to strafing aimlessly. After all, the way of street fighting was very different from siege warfare. The first thing is that large-scale strafing was actually not very meaningful. When Miyamoto was not prepared, he could only use this method to try to shock the enemy.
But after half an hour passed, Miyamoto gradually realized something was wrong, because judging from the gunshots, the Chinese army that blocked them was obviously not the most easiest thing for the 318th Army defending the city was that the sound of the guns in their hands was obviously mixed with the sound of the old Mauser rifle, and their counterattack was obviously not as fierce as the 318th Division.
Thinking of this, Miyamoto was delighted. The hard bones in front made the two unlucky guys Shigefuji Chiaki and Nakada Motokawa get rid of them. As a result, he became those who were defeated after a fight. This made Miyamoto feel that his luck was really good and that he couldn't be better. The death of the commander of the Ogisu Riot Division made him suddenly become the acting commander of the division, and now he has a huge military merit in front of him.
Miyamoto's luck is indeed commendable. This time the 318th Army really retreated, and the retreat was clean and there was no intention to defend Jiangyin County. Although Miyamoto was confused, if he didn't dare to arrest this opportunity, then he would be too courageous. Miyamoto resolutely launched the horn of the general attack.
The shock in Shigefuji Chiaki and Nakada Motokawa outside the city was absolutely no less than any other time. Has Miyamoto changed his mind, and he could be the commander of a division and dared to launch a general attack directly when he looked at each other, and both saw the shock and doubts of the other party. However, they never expected that the 318th Army had retreated to the West Gate at this moment, or that they had already begun to go to Nanjing.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Miyamoto suppressed his ecstasy and began to increase his troops. Although the troops of a battalion were determined to resist desperately, the gap was too big. Under the leadership of Battalion Zhang, he successfully broke through more than 200 people in Nanjing, and more than 300 people died in battle. The entire Jiangyin County was actually completely behind the enemy.
Not only that, the entire Jiangfang defense has collapsed at this moment. After the Japanese landed in Huashan, the target was aimed directly at Jiangyin County. If Wang Mingyu and others evacuated for a long time, the entire Jiangyin County would be difficult to fly out the next morning. Yuan Youren and others didn't know how Wang Mingyu learned that the Japanese army had seized Huashan. In fact, Wang Mingyu also learned unexpectedly that two people in their intelligence department were retreating to the front line of Huashan. As a result, they encountered such a thing. They forced the radio station to send the news despite the danger.
It was December 5th now. The time when the Japanese army opened the Jiangyin defense line was a whole week later than history. It seemed that one move had filled the entire Jiangfang defense. It was a week long. Miyamoto watched the sun flag fluttering on the gate of Jiangyin County at this moment. He was also happy. He didn't expect that the last simple but biggest drama would be seized by him.
Chiaki Shige and Motokawa Nakada were very depressed. They could be said to be quite depressed, especially Chiaki Shige. Originally, a good opportunity was placed in front of him. As long as he was a little more courageous, he could take most of the credit for the entire Jiangyin County. Unfortunately, he was very afraid of the 318th Army's fighting style. Every time the casualties and injuries made Chiaki Shige was heartbroken. He originally thought that the situation in Jiangyin County would be similar to that in Baoshan County.
The gate of Baoshan County was lost. At that time, the 318th Division had been working hard for so long. In Chiaki Shige, Jiangyin County should be like this, so I never thought that the 318th Army would leave so simply, so I missed a lot of opportunities. Compared with Chiaki Shige, no one could know the bitterness in Nakada Motokawa's heart at this moment.
Originally, he still had some hope for the division commander. If he could take down Jiangyin County this time, the headquarters would not be able to make a difference. Unfortunately, everything has been decided now. Miyamoto died of steadily with his luck. Of course, Shigefuji Chiaki, Nakada Motokawa and Miyamoto did not list him as an opponent. After all, how could the 13th Division allow an outsider to join the throne.
The loss of Jiangyin County indicates that all the Japanese attack directions were consistent. At this moment, the 6th Division, the 11th Division and other divisions were all within a distance of Nanjing, Guoqi Detachment detoured the line of Wuhu, Anhui, and was preparing to unexpectedly see the entire Nanjing City now on the chopping board, and the Japanese army could take over Nanjing City at any time.
The 318th Army is currently on the way to Nanjing. They are preparing to walk from Nanjing. After passing Huaiyin, they will go to Lianyungang first. Of course, only the senior management knows this route. The rest of them think that going to Nanjing is going to have a desperate battle with the Japanese. If the people in Nanjing have not transferred at this moment, then Wang Mingyu naturally needs to do this. But now the only remaining in Nanjing is a group of soldiers without fighting spirit who seem to be living with Nanjing, and various spies who are unknown.
The entire Nanjing City plan was basically implemented in Wang Mingyu's vision. In fact, Wang Mingyu's purpose was obviously to prevent the massacre in Nanjing City. Now it has achieved great success. The first thing is that King Kuiyan, the commander of the Nanjing Massacre, has been assassinated. Even if another person comes from below, it will be difficult to issue such an order that will bear the eternal infamous name.
However, Wang Mingyu obviously would not place his hope on the Japanese side, so he chose to rely on the propaganda offensive and his reputation to persuade the people of Nanjing to leave such a place of right and wrong. In fact, it proved that two-pronged approach is more realistic than one move. This double insurance allows Wang Mingyu to leave with peace of mind.
The news of the fall of Jiangyin County reached Chairman Jiang's ears that night. Chairman Jiang was quite helpless when he found out. He naturally knew the situation in Jiangyin County, and did not blame him much. He ordered the 318th Army to rest and standby to defend Nanjing City Chairman Jiang did not force the 318th Army at this moment. If they went, it would be the best. If they didn't go, Chairman Jiang felt that it was no big deal.
Miyamoto reported the entire Jiangyin battle situation as soon as possible. This time he had absolutely no behavior. After all, the greatest credit was already tightly held in his hands. It was still necessary to give Shigefuji Chiaki and Nakada Motokawa some soup. General Matsui Ishione was very happy. After Jiangyin County was taken, Nanjing City could almost be foreseen.
At this moment, General Matsui Ishione was definitely not imagining it out of thin air, but was well-founded, even if the remaining thousands of 318 troops participated in the defense of Nanjing City, how could he face hundreds of thousands of warriors of the Japanese Empire? Could it be that his 318 army could still turn into heaven or not? Miyamoto's status immediately improved with the victory report of Jiangyin County. In the next few days, Miyamoto successfully changed from a major general to a lieutenant general, and the two words "agent in front of his division commander were also removed smoothly. Of course, although Miyamoto basically knew in his heart that before he was confirmed, everything still had variables.
Of course, there are not only Miyamoto, but also Yamamoto Kai. As the chief of staff of the 13th Division, this battle in Jiangyin can be said to have timely washed away the shame of King Hirohiko Asakamiya being shot dead by the Chinese army. Yamamoto Kai also transformed from Chief of Staff of Colonel to the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade of Miyamoto. The level was increased by one level accordingly, and became the chief of staff of the Major General Division. The chief of staff sent by the Imperial Headquarters. A colonel-level chief of staff sent by the Imperial Headquarters.
The entire Nanjing plan of the 318th Army has been successfully completed. Although they have no idea about the so-called Nanjing plan, everything is going on in an orderly manner. No one knows what kind of test will the next 318th Army face. Everything is based on Wang Mingyu's thoughts. However, it is worth confirming that it is unlikely to have a large-scale battle in the near future. With Wang Mingyu's more than 3,000 people now, although they can still exert some residual heat, the role it plays on the battlefield is obviously not very good.
: Some people will say why this section of Nanjing is not even written about defending Nanjing. In fact, the ultimate goal of defending Nanjing is to prevent the Nanjing Massacre. Therefore, Liuxin feels that as long as the combat intention is successfully implemented, a full chapter will be entered under the same as that of not being in Nanjing. It is also a relatively relaxed chapter. I hope everyone will support Liuxin as always
