Chapter 266 The Demilitarized Zone of the Nanjing Defense War (3)

……What?

Nanjing non-armed area? Zhang Xuewu looked around the command center in a stunned state, wearing almost ragged generals. Now Zhang Xuewu doesn’t know how many troops he has? The reserve team has been used up, and the suicide squads don’t remember how many times it organized. The urban area of ​​Nanjing and the graves of the Japanese army also caused a large amount of killing and wounding the Japanese army. At the same time, the casualties of the Chinese defenders were also increasing rapidly. Street fighting is cruel. Often, the Chinese defenders had just annihilated a Japanese unit that broke in, and they would be bombarded by Japanese artillery fire. In the dense and fierce artillery fire, the troops lost 30% or 40% of them.

Zhang Xuewu had no reserve troops at hand. The garrison troops of Wulongshan and Yanziji were the last established troops in Nanjing City. Zhang Xuewu dared not move. Even if he had eaten all the directions of Xishuimen Xiaguan, he transferred the 159th Divisions where Jiangxinzhou and Baguazhou were located to Xiaguan to fight, but he did not move the defensive forces of Wulongshan Fortress. After the three divisions of the 74th Army were reorganized, there were only two regiments. These two regiments were put into battle last night. Every night, no matter how tight the troops were, Zhang Xuewu would organize suicide squads to regain the streets lost during the day. If he did not fight back one day, the Japanese would immediately notice that the situation of the defenders was not good.

However, Zhang Xuewu also knew that if he was organizing a suicide squad, he would probably have to organize a staff suicide squad and a general suicide squad. What made Zhang Xuewu even more worried was his connection with Wuhan. Chiang Kai-shek sent telegrams almost every day to inquire about the situation of the war, but the national army troops on the outside were deployed very slowly. Sujia, who entered the Dingyuan Camp, arrived at the rear of the Dalu through northwest Shanxi. Chiang Kai-shek was fully expanding the direct troops of the Central Army, rather than equipping the 11th Army, Guangxi and other troops that had already formed combat effectiveness. In this way, the reorganization speed of the troops was relatively slowed down, and the 11th Army was poor in weapons and equipment, and one division was not even a large Japanese army.

How could the old sleeve with strong firepower and smoothed rifles be comparable to the Type 38 rifle? Not to mention the 11th Army's company, the two-ting light machine gun was only available. The outside troops were unable to deploy. The most serious thing was that Chiang Kai-shek ignored the Japanese advantage of air supremacy, and the Chinese army that was advancing on foot had no advantage over the Japanese army in terms of speed. In terms of logistics support, even in foreign countries, many national troops gathered in Wuhan were short of clothes and shoes, and it was common for them to get enough ammunition. Many officers of the troops did not require any weapons, ammunition and military pay, so that the logistics department of the military station would directly send food!

Faced with the three-day price of grain in the market, the national currency I sent was not able to buy anything. Chiang Kai-shek knew this, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the officers and soldiers below were even more aware of it.

Although Nanjing was very hard to fight, Zhang Xuewu was always confident because the Japanese offensive in Rehe had already reached a standstill, which meant that his large-scale counterattack was also brewing at the same time. However, Zhang Xuewu still maintained a high degree of vigilance. The reason is that from a historical perspective, in modern times, which war did a country with military aid but no industrial system defeat a country with no military aid and no industrial system? Modern warfare is fighting a country's comprehensive industrial potential, not more than a dozen German and military equipment divisions, so Zhang Xuewu has always been committed to building small and complete industrial bases in Baotou, accumulating wealth, and it doesn't matter if the output is small, but it's afraid there is no output!

Zhang Xuewu's principle is that we have a higher output and higher technical content. We use quality technology to compete for quantity. Just like the latest model of BF-109k Kongjiaofang, its xing energy design concept can be said to be the product of two eras, including the Type 94, Type 95, Type 96 carrier-based aircraft and various types of attack aircraft that I am now equipped with, which are completely the products of two eras. Compared with the previous BF-109fopf fighter, BF-109k

The fighter has replaced the more powerful aircraft engine, which has greatly improved its xing ability, and has improved the problem of slow climbing speed of the BF-109f. The cabin has been fully enclosed and sealed, which allows the pilot to have a higher climbing height than the Japanese in combat. Even if he is sieged by enemy aircraft with an absolute advantage in number, he can easily break through the encirclement of Japanese fighter aircraft and easily shoot down enemy aircraft.

However, Zhang Xuewu was trapped in an isolated city in Nanjing and didn't know much about the international trend at this moment. He didn't know that at this moment, "Japan" I have accepted the armistice agreement formed by the nine countries including Israel, the United States, Britain, France, etc. Now Wuhan is boiling like a pot of boiling water. Although Nanjing has not yet been lost, everyone knows that this is just a matter of time. Zhang Xuewu's defense of Nanjing can last for more than a month, and with the time he took office as the commander of the Nanjing garrison commander, it took two months to complete!

Zhang Xuewu once again created a miracle in the history of modern world wars in Nanjing. The group use of armor, the large-scale use of rocket launchers, heavy artillery, the large-scale investment of the air force, the important air supremacy, the integrated combat model of sea and air, the application of aircraft carriers, etc., all of which made military personnel from all over the world feel refreshed?

The defense of Nanjing can be said to be the Chinese army after the sea of ​​corpses and blood in Songhu. It can still maintain its tenacious combat effectiveness and guard a city that predicts that it will never be able to defend for 20 days for more than a month. During this period, it launched several beautiful counterattacks, especially the tactics of raiding the enemy's command organization with elite troops, which is extremely classic. If Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya was not waiting for the entry ceremony in Nanjing and Jun Tada moved out of the command center, then the one who was shot was not just a lieutenant general, but a general. According to the practice of the Japanese army, Jun Tada might be promoted to marshal.

Killing an enemy marshal? Such achievements are something that I never dared to think about! And even cutting off the other party's head? This seems a bit barbaric, but compared to the Japanese slaughtering tens of thousands of Chinese civilians and wounded soldiers in Xiaguan, and cutting off the head of Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya, the culprit, the order was also very consistent with the Chinese style?

Zhang Xuewu was calculating his troops. The troops of Hu Zongnan in Jiangbei were nominally under his command, but it might not be too great to transfer him across the river to participate in the war, because Hu Zongnan's first reaction was to report to the Wuhan camp. This is the main reason why Chiang Kai-shek likes to train, promote, and reuse the Huangpu Group. He often asks for instructions and reports more when encountering problems. Except for himself, no one else can mobilize his own soldiers, just like being assigned to Tang Enbo's army commanded by Li Zongren's Fifth War Zone. Tang Enbo would promptly report whenever there was something. Zhang Xuewu in Nanjing did a very good job in this regard.

In the overall situation, Chiang Kai-shek was not as relieved as Zhang Xuewu. The powerful combat power of the Rehe Legion actually directly refused the Japanese army abroad, and its main mechanized division had not yet entered the battle. In the heart of Rehe, Suiyuan, there were about seven to eight divisions in Suiyuan to reorganize equipment. The Rehe Legion received a large amount of free Soviet aid even more than the government of the Republic of China. Chiang Kai-shek also understood that the Soviets wanted the Rehe Legion to hold back the Japanese Kwantung Army, so they spared no expense to provide assistance, especially the urgently in short supply of the Chongqing rear was all in Zhang Xuewu's pocket.

Zhang Xueliang is now serving as the senior adviser of the State Government. Although Zhang Xuewu nominally surrendered to him, the Rehe Legion's arrangement is different from the Central Army, and it has a very local military scent. Chiang Kai-shek is very vigilant. He does not want to take off Zhang Xueliang and produce another Zhang Xuewu. The Japanese himself is not worth worrying about external troubles. The CCP and local factions, especially the local factions like Zhang Xuewu, which developed under the banner of the Central Committee, made Chiang Kai-shek very uncomfortable. This is his confidant.

However, it is still far from the point where the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys are cooked. Chiang Kai-shek has always advocated the Huairou method. He cannot deal with Zhang Xuewu like Li Zongren and Chen Jitang. The time is not right now. He gradually controls and gradually decomposes his command power, and dismantles the iron plate of Rehe Legion. The shells and silver bullets are Chiang Kai-shek's two killer weapons. It may not have much effect on the shells of Rehe Legion. So Chiang Kai-shek prepared to use his magic weapon, the silver bullet!

As for Zhang Xuewu's arrangement, Chiang Kai-shek was always unsure of his mind. For example, he had been planning this time... After the Nanjing Defense War, the General Staff Headquarters were suspected of being undermined. Which war zone below is placed as a deputy commander? It is too young. If the lieutenant general who was under thirty years old was in a melee in the early years of the Republic of China, there would be a general in the military battle and marshal everywhere. Now some military and political systems of the Republic of China government have been on the right track. What do you think of the promotion of Zhang Xuewu's direct generals who rushed out of the bloody storm of the First and Second Northern Expeditions of the Huangpu period, and the Central Plains war?

Chiang Kai-shek was really a headache. What made him most troubled was whether Zhang Xuewu could obey the order and lead his troops out of Nanjing, allowing the multi-national troops of the League of Nations to defend Nanjing, and declare Nanjing as a non-armed area. The main force of the Japanese branch dispatched troops will be withdrawn from Huai'an and Linyi to Jinan. The Japanese troops in Heze, Jining and Linyi will all withdraw to Jinan to maintain the ceasefire line between Zibo, Liaocheng and Handan. Prince Zai Ren, the special envoy of the Japanese and full-power negotiator, will go to Shanghai to negotiate with the National Government. Nanjing and Shanghai will be classified as non-armed areas. Japanese warships and Marines can be stationed in Shanghai and the army withdrew accordingly. The army and air force of the Republic of China shall not enter the non-armed areas of Shanghai and Nanjing, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation and demand that the head of Prince Hirohiko Asakamura, who was cut off by the Chinese army assault squad, be returned before the negotiations.
