Chapter 0660 Retreat on the whole line!
"Report to you, we have successfully blocked the Dragon Boat Festival Special Forces. However, because the special forces have very tenacious combat capabilities, the results we have achieved are very small, and they fled to the direction of the Tiger Leaping Cliff.
Your Excellency, I ask you to send a force to intercept the tiger jumping cliff.”
After Takeshita's special forces at Dragon Boat Festival broke out of the encirclement, he quickly sent a power to the commander of the Banheng Division.
The old Japanese devils of Banheng nodded when they saw Takeshita Tsubasa's report. Because being able to repel the Chinese madman already shows that Takeshita Tsubasa is very capable, not to mention that he has achieved results in the battle. This is a word that he cannot hear in the previous battle. All he hears are war losses.
Of course, this ambush and interception still caused considerable casualties.
The number of Japanese killed 50 people and injured more than 30 people.
However, for this, the special forces also paid the price of fifteen casualties.
Dozens of people were sacrificed and five were injured.
Those who are injured temporarily use tourniquets to stop bleeding, and even if the wound hurts, they can only run quickly with the team.
Dragon Boat Festival said that before four o'clock tomorrow morning, they must pass through the tiger jumping cliff. They walked around the tiger jumping cliff and headed to Danyang. This was their only way to live, otherwise they would have to stay in the Japanese's belly.
Of course, they would be even more dangerous. Because the Japanese have already listed Dragon Boat Festival as the number one dangerous target, if they had not seen his body, the Japanese would not give up.
So they could only quickly pass through the tiger jumping cliff, which was their only way to survive.
However, the Dragon Boat Festival was not expected at all. The Japanese Banheng and the commander of the delegation, Matsui Ishigen, had such a strong hatred for him. Just when the Dragon Boat Festival special forces were taking a detour to the Tiger Jump Cliff, Matsui Ishigen directly ordered the naval special forces on the Aoba cruiser on the Yangtze River to go to the Tiger Jump Cliff to intercept the Dragon Boat Festival special forces.
But originally, these Japanese continued to go north and prepared to open up the Yangtze River channel and circle around Nanjing to block the Yangtze River.
Once the Yangtze River is blocked by the Japanese, Nanjing City will become an isolated city, and all the defenders in Nanjing will be besieged on the front line of Nanjing.
However, in order to kill the Chinese madman, Matsui Ishien didn't care much about it and directly ordered the Aoye to stop the ship near the Tiger Jump Cliff and send Japanese soldiers to quickly block the Tiger Jump Cliff.
There were only two squadrons of Japanese soldiers landing around 1 a.m. and rushed to the Tiger Jumping Cliff.
···················
At the same time, the Great Retreat Campaign in Changzhou had already begun. The Japanese who had been raiding for a day were actually very tired. They originally planned to have a good rest for a night, at least a few hours, but they didn't want the order to be issued so suddenly. They surrounded Changzhou City and prevented the 112th Division and the remaining troops of the 103rd Division from leaving.
But at this moment, Zhou Weiguo and his men came out from behind the Ximen Japanese, directly disrupting the Japanese's deployment. The 112th Division and 103rd Division in Changzhou City took the opportunity to leave the city and quickly divided into three combat brigades.
The first battalion was led by Commander Huo, and attacked the Japanese army blocking the West Gate with Zhou Weiguo, while the commander of the 103rd Division, He Zhizhong, led a nearly regiment of troops to block the Japanese army's reinforcements from the South Gate and North Gate respectively.
This is a melee, a melee between thousands of people. Both sides of the war invested a large amount of troops in a short period of time.
At this time, human life is no longer human life. They are harvested like grass. Every minute and even every second, someone will die, not one person or a few people, but dozens or even hundreds of people.
Under the night, the cannon fire roared, and the sound of machine guns and rifles was like fried beans.
Amid the sound of artillery fire and explosions, the entire Changzhou city was as bright as day.
In the instant, there were angry soldiers. They kept pulling the trigger and shooting at each other.
Bullets penetrated the body, and screams of pain followed one after another.
One fell down, the other filled the gap, and the two sides kept filling in the black muzzles in this seemingly endless shooting.
At this time, no one knows how many people died, but knows that when one soldier falls, another soldier will fill the gap.
Both sides of the enemy and us are the same. They shoot each other under the uncovered city, and even set up temporary artillery positions to bombard each other.
This time, the 103rd Division and the 112th Division also took out all their heavy firepower.
The shells were fired quickly, no matter how much they cost.
Although the Japanese were prepared for a long time, it seemed that the 112th Division and the 103rd Division were more prepared. What's more, the artillery of both divisions was here.
The Japanese were suppressed by brief artillery fire, but the number of Japanese was extremely large. In a very short period of time, both sides fought evenly, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The battle was extremely cruel. Nearly a thousand people were killed or killed after only a battle lasted less than ten minutes.
The deceased were left under the city of Changzhou, while the living people needed to continue to move forward and continue to retreat to Nanjing under the cover of the Independent Regiment and the First Battalion of the 522nd Regiment.
The Japanese army's encirclement and annihilation plan failed. Although it severely damaged the Chinese army, nearly 2,000 people still fled to Nanjing.
The Japanese chased after ten miles and stopped chasing. Because further forward was the Jintan and Danyang defense line. Moreover, the front line was too long, and the Japanese chased them into a defeat.
The Aoki Devils discussed with the Hatan Devils, stopped chasing and rested on the spot.
But at this moment, the commander of the Banheng Division of the Fifth Division came from the commander of Aoki, ordering Aoki to send at least two squadrons to stand by thirty miles west of Tiger Leaping Cliff.
Although Aoki didn't know the intention of the commander of the Banheng Division, since he was ordered, he had to implement it absolutely. He drew two squadrons from the 42nd Japanese Regiment to the direction of the Tiger Leaping Cliff, and assigned the few trucks of the 21st Brigade to the Japanese devils.
Because Banheng's order is to arrive at the scheduled location before 3 a.m.
This was the backhand left by the old Japanese Ban Heng. Two squadrons of the Navy's Special Corps went to guard the Tiger Jump Cliff, but he was still worried that he would break through the defense line on the Dragon Boat Festival and continue to flee westward. So he mobilized the troops of the two squadrons and stood by thirty miles west of the Tiger Jump Cliff.
This position is very good and can be controlled on a large scale, making it difficult to escape the Dragon Boat Festival.
And the Dragon Boat Festival naturally knew that the Tiger Leaping Cliff might have been targeted by the Japanese. But if you don’t go to the Tiger Leaping Cliff, you can only drill into the Japanese’s belly, which will be even more dangerous.
Once the Japanese discovered that he had not gone to the Tiger Jumping Cliff, they would turn their heads and mobilize a large number of troops in the rear to encircle them.
So there is still a glimmer of life when going to the Tiger Leaping Cliff. If you don’t go to the Tiger Leaping Cliff, you will not even have a glimmer of life. So the Dragon Boat Festival knows that the Tiger Leaping Cliff is very likely to be a trap for the Japanese army, but at this time, you can only get in! ...
