Under the gloomy sky, a Japanese Type 94 reconnaissance plane was flying quickly towards Nanjing...

After learning that the remaining troops of the 189th Division crossed the river, King Hirohiko Asaka Palace was still not relieved, so he sent a large number of reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance the movements of the 189th Division at dawn.

Kenta Kimura was one of them. At this time, he was flying his Type 94 reconnaissance plane worriedly, and he was very resistant to the mission of the 189th Division.

Because there are often some Hellcat fighter escorts over the 189th Division, and the 189th Division's air defense firepower is very fierce. The dense air defense firepower will be unforgettable for everyone who has seen it. Therefore, the mission of the 189th Division's reconnaissance mission has the highest death rate among all reconnaissance missions, and no one is willing to accept such a mission.

But as a soldier, he had to obey his superior's orders, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, he was flying west along a highway. Looking at the quiet villages and forests under his feet, he felt very happy. It was such a beautiful country. There were no volcanoes, no earthquakes, no tsunamis, and typhoons. It was a real paradise on earth. And most importantly, it would soon belong to the Great Japanese Empire.

At this time, the pilot behind him said to him: "There is something down there."

Hearing his words, he quickly looked down carefully, and soon he found a convoy of more than 30 tanks and armored personnel carriers, which was driving quickly east along the road.

This must be the team of the 189th Division! Kenta Kimura made this judgment immediately, because only the 189th Division will have a large number of tanks.

But what are they doing? They have not withdrawn from Nanjing. Logically speaking, they should have retreated to the north. What does it mean to go east?

With a series of questions, he flew towards them very carefully in the plane.

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

At this time, a series of flames suddenly appeared on the ground, and a large number of machine gun bullets flew over his plane.

"Baga!"

Kenta Kimura scolded in a low voice, he knew that this would happen, and the air defense firepower of the 189th Division was always so perverted.

He could guarantee that each of the more than 30 tanks and armored personnel carriers had at least one air defense machine gun. If he dared to fly down a little longer, those air defense machine guns would definitely fire at him, and those soldiers would definitely use their submachine guns to shoot at him.

He felt so angry that he looked at the convoys that showed no sign of slowing down, but he felt helpless about them.

An unknown premonition surged into his heart, why didn't they retreat to the north? Are they planning to attack the 13th Division? And how many troops are there this time?

With this series of questions, he continued to fly west, believing that the answer would be revealed if he couldn't use it.

Sure enough, not long after, he discovered a team of many kilometers, composed of a large number of tanks, artillery and trucks.

Even he was extremely shocked when he looked at the tanks after tanks, one after another, one after another.

What a powerful team!

He wanted to lower the altitude and take some photos, but he didn't have the courage, because countless Japanese pilots used their lives to tell him how dangerous it was. He wanted to get close to the 189th Division to take some photos, and luck and strength were indispensable.

At this time, the enemy below also discovered his plane, and soon a series of densely packed cannon bullets passed by his plane.

Seeing this, he was so shocked that he was sweating coldly. He swore to Master Amaterasu! He hated the air defense firepower of the 189th Division!

After taking some photos in a hurry, he flew back in the plane.

But at the same time, he stared at the sky very carefully, and rolled from time to time to observe whether there were planes diving down from the sky.

Since the weather is not very good today, the visibility is very poor, so he doesn't see far.

But the enemy's plane still appeared. Not long after, two Hellcat fighters appeared in the sky and dived from the sky.

After seeing the two Hellcat fighters, Kenta Kimura let out a burst of wailing. Why is his life so miserable? It seems that he has to run away again, but I don’t know if he can escape from the enemy this time.

After seeing the enemy's reconnaissance in the sky hurriedly penetrated into the clouds, Lu Mingxuan frowned tightly.

Which reconnaissance plane is this the enemy's first reconnaissance plane? Originally he wanted to give the enemy a sudden attack, but now it seems unlikely?

After the last defenders of Nanjing crossed the river, some [***] troops such as Zhang Lingfu and Lin Zhiqiang's subordinates decided to return to their own system, but even so, the strength of the 189th Division still increased a lot.

In Pukou, more than 12,000 Kuomintang soldiers joined his team. In addition, the team incorporated by Nie Ziwen in Nanjing, their 189th Division added a total of more than 18,000 new soldiers, which can be said to be truly powerful.

He organized these more than 18,000 soldiers into six infantry regiments. Considering that their supplies might not keep up, he sent 12,000 of them back to Jiyuan City.

The remaining two infantry regiments, which were all equipped with Somi submachine guns, were incorporated into the combat sequence by him to participate in this military operation against the 13th Division.

Although the morale of these soldiers is a bit low, in Lu Mingxuan's opinion, this battle is simply a good battle and does not require much high morale. Moreover, he believes that with the support of extremely powerful artillery fire, these soldiers will definitely be able to exert their huge combat power.

Major General Tokuge Numata, the commander of the 26th Infantry Brigade, was leading his men and slowly moving towards Nanjing. Since he learned that the Guoqi Detachment was completely wiped out by the 189th Division, his speed has inevitably slowed down.

Because he knew that the strength of the Guoqi Detachment was still above their brigade, since the 189th Division could completely annihilate the Guoqi Detachment, they would definitely be able to completely annihilate their 26th Infantry Brigade.

So he deliberately lowered the speed of his troops and waited to join forces with the troops behind before heading towards Pukou.

But soon the news of the 189th Division crossing the river came, which also made him feel relieved, because in his opinion, this battle might not be able to fight.

The 189th Division should soon return to its territory to cultivate and maintain its health. As far as he knows, many Chinese warlords are like this and know how to preserve their strength very well.

"Report to the commander of the brigade, his commander, and the commander was in urgent need of telegram." At this time, a messenger hurriedly ran over and said.

"Oh, take it over and let me see." Tokuge Numada quickly took the message from him.

"Ni?" He was shocked after reading the telegram.

The army of the 189th Division actually rushed towards him. Why was it like this? Didn’t he understand what it means to preserve strength? And the most important thing is why he attacked himself instead of the 18th Division?

What if he is not his opponent and is completely wiped out by him?

Thinking of this, Tokuge Numada felt a burst of fear. Fortunately, Asakamiya Hirohiko had ordered the 18th Division to fully assist him, and the 114th Division in Nanjing would also cross the river to help him as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved. The most important thing now is to find a place to stand and wait for help. At this time, he remembered a small town he had just passed by.

"Go back to the same route and occupy the town I just passed by."

In a small woods, Fan Haiyang looked far away and observed the situation in the distance, while some soldiers holding Somi were lying on the ground and observing the situation around him vigilantly to avoid being attacked by the Japanese.

Just 20 minutes ago, when he led the advance troops to drive eastward quickly along the highway, he received a telegram from Lu Mingxuan.

According to our reconnaissance plane, the enemy's large troops had occupied a small town and were building fortifications there. Lu Mingxuan ordered him to find out the situation there as soon as possible and to prevent them from building fortifications.

That's why he led some soldiers to hide in the woods to observe the situation of the Japanese. At this time, he found that the Japanese were driving some people to dig anti-tank trenches, while some Japanese engineers buried anti-tank mines on the periphery of those people.

In addition, there are also a large number of Japanese soldiers in the town who are constantly building various fortifications.

Perhaps because of the urgent time, the Japanese soldiers beat some people who worked slowly with their butts from time to time. There were often some women, children and elderly people who were knocked to the ground because of their slow work and then beaten them.

Seeing this, Fan Haiyang couldn't help but hold his palm tightly in anger. If these bastards who deserve to go to hell one day fell into his hands, he would have stripped these Japanese devils of skin.

"Sir, what should we do? Should we save the villagers first?" said one of his soldiers at this time.

"Save! Of course you have to save!" Fan Haiyang said firmly.

It is obviously impossible to rescue them all. If you force rescue, there will definitely be some damage.

For a moment, Fan Haiyang fell into hesitation. How could he rescue them safely?

But soon he burst into laughter. There is no way to die in war. Whether it is the people or the soldiers, he will always make a lot of sacrifices.

And soon the army of the 189th Division arrived, and then they would launch a destructive shelling on the town.

Instead of letting them die in the artillery fire of the 189th Division, it is better to take risks now. Perhaps they still have a glimmer of hope.

"Come with me." Fan Haiyang said to them.

The Japanese squadron leader Sora Ogawa looked at the people digging anti-tank trenches with a gloomy face.

Many Japanese are extremely anxious now because there are some rumors among them that the 9th Division was crippled by the 189th Division, and the Guoqi Detachment was just wiped out by the 189th Division yesterday. Now this extremely vicious 189th Division is rushing towards them fiercely, so many Japanese are very irritable now.

Can they withstand the attack of the 189th Division? Ogawa Sora thought with a little worried.

At this time, a scream came from the front. He looked up and found that one of his subordinates, Junji Ono, was knocking a woman to the ground and smashing her hard with a butt.

"Bagaya Road! You dare to be lazy when you serve the Great Japanese Imperial Army! It's so bad that you have a great conscience!" Junji Ono cursed while beating her, and soon blood flowed out of the corner of the woman's mouth.

At this time, a little girl rushed up crying, and she hugged Junji Ono's legs tightly.

Junji Ono kicked her into the air with one kick, and then she fell to the ground and vomited blood.

Seeing this, the people were all excited. They stopped and looked at Junji Ono angrily.

"Bagayalu! What do you want to do? Do you want to resist the Great Japanese Imperial Army?" Junji Ono was a little scared at first, but soon he reacted, and pointed his gun at the people and said.

When other Japanese saw this, they quickly pointed guns at the people to prevent any incidents from happening to them.

"Baga! It's really a guy who has failed to succeed and has enough trouble." Sora Ogawa cursed in a low voice.

He was about to go forward to stop them so that something bad happened, after all, the enemy was coming, and now every labor and time was precious.

"Bang!"

But at this moment, a low gunshot suddenly came?

Where was shooting? Ogawa Sora was shocked. At this time, he found Junji Ono falling down with his chest covering his chest, and then a large amount of blood kept flowing out of his chest.
Chapter completed!
