After practicing the Sacred Heart Art, the soldiers of the 585th Regiment were no longer ordinary people, even if they only had initial internal strength, their strength, speed, eyesight, ear power, etc.

Therefore, their shooting percentage reached the level of sharpshooters.

The two Japanese vanguard teams were hit by a head-on attack when they were dozens of meters away from the pier. They were either shot into sieves by heavy machine guns or shot to death.

The 585th Regiment, almost everyone is a gun god now! The Japanese vanguard team reacted quickly. The Japanese army hiding in the cabin drove a crooked light machine gun and grenade launcher to start counterattack. Just like that, after a moment, the boat finally arrived at the dock.

But the Japanese on the boat were hiding in the cabin, and none of them dared to show their heads!

Because once they show up, they will be shot to death.

This ridiculous scene continued until the arrival of the large ship of the Japanese wing, and the Japanese army began to land on the cover of artillery fire and cover.

The light and heavy machine guns, cannon companies, and sharpshooters of the 585th Regiment were also reaping the lives of the Japanese.

In this battlefield where bullets are like rain and cannonballs fly, even Lin Yang, a martial arts master, played a very small role, but the role played by the sharpshooters of the 585th Regiment was beyond his expectations.

Less than half an hour after the two sides exchanged fire, more than a thousand Japanese troops died under the guns of sharpshooters of the 585th Regiment.

Then, the Japanese army began to retreat.

This was the first time they had suffered such a blow. The bullets of the central army seemed to have eyes, and without exception, all hit their compatriots!

Half of the Japanese army's regiment, more than 2,000 people, more than half of them were killed or injured, and they began to retreat.

The position of the 585th Regiment remained unmoved.

A great victory!

Lin Yang did not order the pursuit. Instead, after the Japanese retreated, he ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up. He did not expect that he would pass the Sacred Heart Art to the soldiers in the regiment, and his regiment's combat power had increased so many times.

If not, today would be a fierce battle!

At the same time, the Japanese army attacked the upstream and downstream also began to retreat, which made the central army stationed in the upstream and downstream breathe a sigh of relief, and they almost couldn't resist it!

This side won a great victory, and the garrison headquarters, General Tang was still in a panic.

Because not every central army stationed in various positions is as powerful as the 585th Regiment, the river surface where the 585th Regiment is stationed is just one of the entire battlefield.

Admiral Tang was answering the phone, "What? The position has been lost? Request for reinforcements?"

"Let me listen to me. I have no reinforcements here, only military orders. I order you to organize troops to counterattack immediately and take back the position at all costs! If the troops are all gone, you fill it in for me, you will die. My old Tang will continue to fill it up! In a word, the position cannot be lost!"

"Dinglingling..." General Tang had just hung up the phone. The phone next to him rang again.

After answering the call, the staff officer quickly handed the phone to General Tang and said, "Commander, Chief Bai's phone number!"

"Captain Bai?" Tang Shang took the phone and said loudly, "Captain Bai, do you also want reinforcements?"

"What? The troops were too injured and killed? The regiments had lost more than one-third of their personnel. I requested to retreat to the city and fight with the enemy in the streets? No, absolutely not. Once you abandon the guard, the Japanese will be able to carry their cannons onto the mountain and bomb Nanjing from a high place. At that time, we can't find the place even if we want to hide."

“…”

"Dinglingling..." Admiral Tang had just hung up the phone when the phone next to him rang again.

The confidential staff answered the phone and looked at General Tang. This time, his tone became a little cheerful, "Commander, 585th Regiment's good news!"

"Good news, good news, good news, good news." General Tang subconsciously cursed and sweared. After cursing, he came to his senses and turned around immediately, "What did you say? Good news?"

The confidential staff member said excitedly: "Commander, the 585th Regiment won a great victory and annihilated more than 1,300 Japanese 26th Regiment that crossed the river, making a lot of gains!"

"Okay!" General Tang shouted, and immediately said: "Send the message immediately and transfer to the Wuhan camp. The old man is afraid he is already anxious!"

Since the defeat of the Battle of Songhu, the defense of Nanjing has been defeated one after another. The central army and even the people of the whole country have needed a victory! This victory has not come for a long time. In the end, Lin Yang's 585th Regiment annihilated more than 1,300 Japanese wings, which was the first victory in the defense of Nanjing!

Although General Tang has heard of the reputation of being able to fight in the 585th Regiment, he has only now truly seen the combat effectiveness of the 585th Regiment, and he can fight indecisively!

After a pause, General Tang said again: "Send the order to the 585th Regiment and ask them to rush to Yangzhou!"

"Yangzhou?" The chief of staff standing next to him was surprised. "Yangzhou is a dangerous place. If the 585th Regiment goes, I am afraid it will go without going back!"

General Tang hummed and said, "The dangerous place? Is it not a dangerous place now? Is it dangerous? I have volunteered to stay and guard Nanjing, and I have no plans to leave alive! Since the 585th Regiment can fight, let it go to Yangzhou!"

Yangzhou’s strategic position is extremely important.

The navy paid a great price to build a second shipwreck blockade line in the Zhenjiang section of the Yangtze River, resulting in the Japanese army's fleet being unable to directly traverse the Yangtze River to reach Nanjing.

Therefore, if the Japanese army wanted to encircle the southern and Beijing back roads from the north, they could only choose to land on the north bank of the Yangtze River lower reaches of Zhenjiang, and then detour westward by land.

In this way, Yangzhou became a strategic point that the Japanese army must remove.

Only when the Japanese army captured Yangzhou could they advance westward with great strides.

Now, the Japanese army is mobilizing heavy troops to attack Yangzhou. If Yangzhou is lost, Pukou will be exposed. If Pukou is lost, more than 100,000 troops trapped in Nanjing will become turtles in the jar.

Because in the previous battle report, Wuhu had been lost and the retreat to the west had been cut off by the Japanese army.

This is so anxious that General Tang is so anxious that it would be fine if he has more than 100,000 soldiers, but he will fight!

But what should I do if the 700,000 people in Nanjing? What if the Japanese really want to massacre the city according to the rumors? Who knows whether it is true or false?

If the Japanese really want to massacre the city, Tang Shengzhi will not be able to bear this historical responsibility!

But now the war is in full swing, and General Tang has no choice but to watch Nanjing demise.

He had no choice but to ask the 585th Regiment to rush to Yangzhou to help.

At the same time.

The Japanese army and the Central China Front Army Command also received a battle report of more than 1,300 casualties in the 26th Regiment. It was this 585th Regiment again! In the previous Battle of Shanghai, many Japanese troops suffered losses from the 585th Regiment!

Afterward.

Wuhan camp.

In front of Chairman Jiang, a telegram of contribution from the 585th Regiment was sent. The leader of the regiment "Zhou Xing", who is Lin Yang, entered the eyes of this boss for the first time, making the boss smile.

The boss smiled and the regiment commander Lin Yang became the brigade commander. (To be continued...) i1292
