293 Transfer of Defense
"Commander Song, you are finally here."
Gui Yongqing also felt relieved when he met Song Xilian.
Song Xilian's 36th Division was not annihilated by the Japanese and is now on Purple Mountain.
In this way, their main position in Zijin Mountain should not be lost.
In the previous few hours, the Japanese's frenzied attack made Gui Yongqing think that Zijin Mountain was about to be lost.
Otherwise, Zhou Xinghai’s First Militia Division would have transferred over 3,000 people.
Help the teaching team defend the main position of Zijin Mountain.
At this time, with only one thousand soldiers left in Gui Yongqing's hands, it was impossible for them to defend the main position of Zijin Mountain.
They might even not be able to withstand the first wave of attacks from the Japanese.
Fortunately, they all got through it.
With Song Xilian's 36th Division going up the mountain, the teaching corps' task of defending itself could be completed.
"Commander Song, Purple Mountain will be handed over to your Thirty-Sixth Division from now on."
After Gui Yongqing said this, he felt a lot more relaxed.
During this more than half a month, he led his troops to defend Zijin Mountain and was under tremendous pressure.
“Captain Gui, don’t worry.
Let Thirty-Six of us take care of Purple Mountain. You guys go down and have a good rest."
Song Xilian also noticed the fatigue on Gui Yongqing's face.
The Teaching Corps was able to serve as the defenders of Nanjing and, during the most difficult times, they still held on to Purple Mountain.
This most important strategic commanding height was not captured by the Japanese.
This ensured that other national army units in the city of Nanjing would not have to suffer constant attacks from the Japanese artillery fire.
It can be said that all other national army troops in the entire Jinling City should thank Gui Yongqing and his teaching corps for their sacrifices and contributions.
Under the saluting gaze of many officers of the 36th Division, Gui Yongqing led the remaining several hundred soldiers of the Teaching Corps.
Withdraw from the main position of Zijin Mountain.
Retreat to the rear of the anti-slope position to rest.
Then find time to retreat to Jinling City.
"Hey!"
Song Xilian looked at the once glorious Teaching Corps, which was the benchmark unit of the entire national army.
At this time, the army was in such a state of decline that only three or four hundred remnants were left.
This made Song Xilian feel a little sad.
In the afternoon, the Japanese 16th Division attacked like crazy.
The last thousand soldiers of the Teaching Corps who remained on the mountain paid a heavy price.
After the war, everyone, including the wounded, was still able to move.
There were less than 400 soldiers left who could retreat to the rear tunnels.
More than 600 people were killed.
Even the regiment of more than 3,000 people that Zhou Xinghai came to support had more than half of them killed or wounded.
“Okay, stop looking.
Let the soldiers repair their positions, the Japanese may attack at any time."
Song Xilian called out to other officers.
Following Song Xilian's 36th Division, they went up to Zijin Mountain and took over the main peak position.
The attack by the Japanese 16th Division did not continue in the afternoon.
Nakajima Imao, commander of the Japanese 22th Division, received the news that the th Division had broken through the nd Brigade's blockade.
After climbing up Purple Mountain, he knew that he had no chance of taking over Purple Mountain again.
This made the old Japanese very angry.
"Waste, Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu is waste.
Their 11th Division once laughed at us for not being able to capture Purple Mountain after such a long time.
Now let’s look at one of their main brigades.
They can't even stop a Chinese division. They are the shame of the empire."
Nakajima Imago roared.
Their 16th Division paid a heavy price for today's attack.
Launch wave after wave of attacks regardless of casualties.
There seems to be hope of taking over Purple Mountain.
As a result, the 22th Division at the foot of the mountain broke through the blockade of the Japanese nd Brigade and climbed up Purple Mountain.
How could this not make the old devil Nakajima Imao angry?
In this way, all their previous sacrifices would be wasted.
The result of this battle was not only that the Purple Mountain Training Corps was almost wiped out.
Even the Japanese 16th Division was severely damaged and no longer able to launch a large-scale offensive.
After all, as the attacking side, the Japanese should have suffered greater casualties than the defending side.
The casualties on the National Army side were mainly caused by the Japanese artillery fire.
Furthermore, the number of Japanese soldiers who died in battle who were not killed by artillery fire was greater than that of the National Army.
In this battle, the two main regiments of the 16th Division suffered more than 2,000 casualties among the attacking Japanese soldiers.
It is equivalent to scrapping an entire squadron.
The Japanese 16th Division had a total of four main infantry regiments.
After more than half a month of attack, they had already crippled two regiments.
Now another squadron has been scrapped.
Even the fierce Japanese devils could not bear such a high casualty ratio.
At this time, it was not only the old Japanese devil Nakajima Imao who was cursing the Japanese 22nd Brigade.
Even the old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane, who was far away in the Japanese headquarters, was angry.
“What a good opportunity, it was missed.
Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, didn’t you make a solemn promise before?
Is it absolutely impossible to let the 36th Division of the Chinese Army go to Purple Mountain?
It's only been half a day and they have failed.
A brigade could not stop a Chinese division for even half a day.
When did the imperial army become so weak? "
Matsui Iwane was angry and extremely confused.
He couldn't understand why the imperial army, which was once powerful and good at fighting, became so weak after the Battle of Nanjing.
One by one they have become unable to fight.
Could it be that there is really something wrong with the feng shui of Nanjing, which is detrimental to their imperial army?
The old devil Matsui Iwane has done a lot of research on Chinese culture and has also done some research on Feng Shui.
But soon, he shook his head.
"Baga, how could I have such an idea?
What bullshit Feng Shui, the Chinese have been on the decline for a long time.
Even if there is, it was our imperial army that came this time to cut off their dragon veins."
The old devil Matsui Iwane threw away the random thoughts in his mind.
The old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane called the Japanese chief of staff and contacted the Japanese 22nd Brigade.
Let Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu report the process of this battle in detail.
After they received the detailed battle report from the 22nd Brigade.
Finally, Matsui Iwane knew why their 22nd Brigade had failed.
"The heavy artillery unit under the control of the Chinese Ye Qingshan has taken action again.
It turned out to be just as I had guessed before.
Their heavy artillery can only carry out a one-time large-scale fire strike."
After learning about the battle process, the old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane learned about Ye Qingshan’s rocket artillery battalion and took action this time.
Said with a serious expression.
Matsui Iwane has always attached great importance to the rocket artillery battalion under Ye Qingshan's command.
At the same time, the old devil was also very curious.
What exactly does this heavy artillery that can only carry out a one-time strike look like?
"The Special High Section has information about the strange heavy artillery in Ye Qingshan's hands in Jinling City.
Haven’t got it yet?”
The old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane asked the chief of staff next to him.
Matsui Iwane had already asked the Japanese intelligence department to find a way to get information from the top leaders of the National Army.
Find relevant information about Ye Qingshan’s rocket artillery battalion.
