Lieutenant General Fujie was almost speechless, he had no choice but to say in a low voice: "The enemy army that attacked our division's position has a large number of tanks and artillery, and our division has fought bloody battles, but...it is really unstoppable! "

"Aren't you an artillery expert? Isn't the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade in the defense zone of your division? Open fire on the tank group of the Chinese Army!"

"What?" Lieutenant General Fujie was taken aback, "However, the enemy tank group has rushed to the first and second lines of defense of our division, and the third line of defense has also been attacked. The soldiers are engaged in a melee with the enemy..."

"Is this the reason? Anyway, they all have to smash the jade for the empire, so what's the difference if it's earlier or later?" Lieutenant General Jiuyan hung up the phone impatiently.

After putting down the phone, Lieutenant General Fujie calmed down and gave the Japanese 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade an order to "immediately launch indiscriminate bombardment of our division's forward positions". He knew what this order meant. He couldn't bear the death of his subordinates by his own artillery fire, so he specifically added, "It only needs to last for 10 minutes."

The Japanese army, which was unstoppable in front of the armored iron flow of the Nanjing Army, was really cornered, so they had to use the method of "indiscriminate bombardment". The Japanese 30th Heavy Artillery Brigade behind the 5th Division's defense area immediately attacked the front of the 30th Division. There was a stormy artillery attack on the position, and the Nanjing army and the Japanese army who were fighting in a melee were submerged in the sea of ​​fire in an instant.

More than 100 Japanese soldiers were killed and injured by their own artillery fire, the Nanjing Army also lost more than [-] people, and more than [-] precious tanks were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire.

In fact, the Nanjing Army was relatively lucky, because Lieutenant General Fujie couldn't bear to die under his own artillery fire, so he ordered the heavy artillery to only shell for 10 minutes, and the Japanese heavy artillery was attacked by the Nanjing Army's Zijinshan Artillery Group 5 minutes after firing. The Beigushan artillery group and the Hongshan artillery group were violently suppressed, and more than 80 artillery pieces were blown up, so they had to die. A "t" was formed at the place, so after the Japanese army bombed down, the casualties caused to the Japanese army exceeded the casualties caused to the Nanjing Army, but the Nanjing Army tanks suffered heavy losses.

"Damn it! Keep going! Keep going!" Zhao Zhihua, deputy head of the 918th Regiment, shouted with red eyes.

After paying a huge price, the forward troops of the breakout troops tore a gap more than 30 meters long in the defense line of the 300th Division. The follow-up troops hurriedly expanded the gap and blocked the Japanese army, covering the militia workers and civilians behind the front troops. They passed the Japanese defense line.

The people helped the old and the young, stumbling and running, the women were holding back their fear and tears, and the children were all frightened by the earth-shattering flames of war and the pools of corpses and blood all over the place. The cries of tens of thousands of children converged into a A huge tear-jerking noise.

Li Yutang was relieved when he learned that the frontline troops had torn through the Japanese defense line, but soon, a piece of bad news made his heart skip a beat: Japanese reinforcements were coming, and the strength was no less than a division.

It is the 30th Division of the Japanese Fourth Army that is rushing to reinforce the 4th Division. The commander of the army, Lieutenant General Neiji Okamura, is very supportive of Ishihara Wanji's speculation before the war. He vaguely judged the Nanjing Army's breakout force He may use the tactics of "doing the opposite" again. In order to prevent accidents, he specially dispatched his 116th Division to cruise in the outskirts of Wulong Mountain.

"With so many old and weak women and children, we can't go fast at all! We can't delay!" Song Xilian was furious, "Are we going to drag countless ordinary people together like Liu Bei did when he abandoned Xinye City, and finally be chased and slaughtered by Cao Jun? "

"We are soldiers!" Li Yutang gritted his teeth, "We must protect the common people!"

"I know!" Song Xilian was extremely anxious, "but if we can't advance quickly, we may be surrounded by the Japanese army and fight for everything in the wild! We are fighting for everything, and the common people are still dead? What's more, we are fighting for everything. Go to northern Jiangsu and northern China to join the war? We must move forward quickly! We must discard..." He hesitated for a moment, and said the word "cumbersome" with difficulty.

Li Yutang gritted his teeth, feeling unprecedented pain and helplessness. Listening to the cries of children under artillery fire, his heart seemed to be torn apart. He really couldn't abandon those civilians, especially those children.

Chapter 329 Standing out from the encirclement (4)

The troops of the Nanjing Army who broke out from the Qixia Mountain area in the north of the city were like Liu Bei who evacuated Xinye City in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". But it is a heartbreaking and tearful scene: the leading force of the Nanjing Army that broke through the siege is completely mechanized. It could have been fast and fast, but because there were more than 20 ordinary people behind it, it had to move forward slowly, which completely ran counter to the tactical concept of "mechanized blitzkrieg". .

Liu Bei couldn't bear to abandon the people, but was chased and killed by Cao Jun. Li Yutang and other generals couldn't bear to abandon the people, so they were outflanked by the Japanese army.

Although the 30th Division of the Japanese Army in the area of ​​Qixia Mountain was overwhelmed and dispersed by the vanguard of the Nanjing Army, it did not retreat. The excellent military quality of the Japanese Army was immediately reflected. , counterattacked the Nanjing Army, and entangled the Nanjing Army passing through Qixia Mountain like a gangrene, which not only caused great trouble and loss to the Nanjing Army, but also contained a large number of Nanjing Army troops. The 30th Brigade of the 114th Division, the 127th Brigade of the 30th Division, which Lieutenant General Hata Toshi-116 sent to strengthen the 116th Division, also built a blocking line behind the [-]th Division's defense area and repeatedly launched a charge against the Nanjing Army. Not only that, Okamura Neji The [-]th Division, which will be dispatched in advance for mobile cruising, is also coming, and behind the [-]th Division, more Japanese troops are still coming.

After the Nanjing Army broke through from the north of the city, the Sixth Lieutenant General Hata Jun woke up like a dream, knowing that he had been fooled by the Nanjing Army, and hurriedly mobilized all the mobile troops in his hand to intercept and kill, with a total strength of up to two divisions.

"Kill!" Amidst the roar of anger and the sound of thunderous hooves, Luo Youlun, the commander of the 77th Cavalry Regiment, who was ordered to launch a mobile operation on the flank of the leading troops, took the lead in rushing towards the roaring Japanese army. The 127th Wing of the 66th Brigade.

The entire cavalry regiment went up with the wind and thunder, thousands of troops galloped, and thousands of horses galloped. The sand and dust from the trampling swept over the cavalry regiment like a tornado, and the blood burst into the sky in the sandstorm.

The cavalry roared loudly and started a bloody melee with the Japanese army. They were killed by carbine guns, bombed by grenades, cut to death by sabers, knocked into the air by horses, and trampled to death by horses. In the bomb fire of Pear Blossom in the torrential rain, clusters of cavalrymen died fighting for the country one after another. Some people and their horses were shot and turned into a bloody hornet's nest, or they were blown up and rolled into a ball of blood, or After being knocked off the horse, they were dragged to death by the frightened and neighing horses running wildly, or were knocked and trampled to death by the horses after falling off the horses.

The ground was covered with mud and blood, dead cavalrymen and dead Japanese soldiers intersected in disorder, and bloody horses collapsed to the ground or screamed and rolled and struggled miserably.

The deputy head Pei Feng tried his best to cut a Japanese soldier into two pieces with a saber, but immediately, he saw a scene that made him go through his heart with ten thousand arrows. In the rain of bullets from a machine gun fire point of the Japanese army, Luo Youlun and his horse were wrapped in a cloud of blood mist, and then fell heavily.

"Tuan Zuo!" Pei Feng shouted with tears streaming down his face.

"The Regiment is dead! Take revenge for the Regiment!" The cavalry roared with grief and indignation, fought bloody battles, defeated the 66th Regiment abruptly and killed its commander Tsuneda Yamada, but the entire cavalry regiment was left with insufficient 400 people.

"Brother Yaojie (cousin name of Li Yutang)!" Song Xilian looked at Li Yutang with fiery eyes, "Our breakout will fail! I know, my next words will sound harsh enough to be criticized, but We must do this, we must abandon those old and weak women and children! If we take them with us, we will not be able to go fast at all! We will soon be surrounded by the Japanese army! We can only die in battle! After the battle, those old and weak women and children will still die! What's the point? Maybe we will be praised, but is it worth it? We can't go to North Jiangsu to fight! We can't go to North China to fight! North Jiangsu is defeated, North China is defeated, the whole country may be doomed ! Do you know what I mean?"

"I understand! I understand!" Li Yutang had tears in his eyes, "Death is actually very simple, but sacrificing one's conscience is really difficult! It's so difficult!" The command.

Jiang Weiguo, who received Li Yutang's request for help, immediately issued two orders: one was to order the troops left behind in Nanjing to "attack in an all-round way" and launch real or fake strong attacks or feigned attacks to contain as many Japanese troops besieging the city as possible and ease the The second is to order the Air Force bomber fleet to attack.

On the bloody battlefield in the north of Nanjing City, the night sky immediately heard the deafening roar of the fleet.

Night bombing is a very difficult thing at this time. The "transoceanic critical strike" method adopted by the Japanese army can only carry out precise night bombing of fixed large targets (cities), and cannot carry out bombardment of enemy ground moving targets. Precise bombing at night. The Nanjing Army deeply felt that night bombing was a very necessary means when it was fighting, especially when encircling and annihilating the 16th Division.

The Nanjing Army carried out night bombing against the Japanese Army. The biggest advantage was that the Japanese Army was very close. It was only a dozen kilometers or even a few kilometers away from the Nanjing Army’s Dajiaochang Airport and the Ming Palace Airport. Pilots flying such a short distance at night are unlikely to get lost. , So solving the problem of night lighting can smoothly carry out night precision bombing.

The Jinling Arsenal in Nanjing City has been in operation, and there are a group of technical experts. One of them, a female engineering expert named Wan Yuan, designed a simple but ingenious "parachute flare" according to this situation. The main structure is a large flare A parachute is hung (Jiang Weiguo has established an airborne force, so he has a parachute made in Germany). When the bomber flies over the enemy target, it first throws this "parachute flare", and the flare will automatically open after being thrown out. The parachute then descends very slowly. It can stay in the air for more than 1000 minutes at a height of 5 meters (it only takes about 1000 seconds for an object to fall to the ground in a free fall at a height of 15 meters). At the same time, it emits a dazzling white light, illuminating a large area. Pilots provide visual conditions.

More than fifty ju-88 bombers flew over the battlefield in the north of the city with the roar of engines roaring like thunder. Immediately, clusters of bright and dazzling white lights bloomed in the night sky one after another, shining like daylight in the sky of the entire battlefield, and then , The bombs fell on the heads of the Japanese army, the ground was lightning, thunder, wind and fire rolled, a large number of Japanese troops who were blocking the Nanjing Army's breakout troops were smashed to pieces in the thunder and flames, the 114nd Wing of the 127th Brigade of the 102th Division The most unlucky thing was that as soon as the regiment arrived in Longtan Town, it was bombed by more than a dozen ju-88s in turn. More than half of the regiment was killed and lost its combat effectiveness before joining the battle. was also killed.

The strong support of the Air Force greatly eased the plight of the Nanjing Army's breakout troops.

In the end, Li Yutang did not give the order to abandon the common people. He gritted his teeth and cried, "Killing devils in northern Jiangsu and North China is killing, and killing devils in Nanjing is killing! Brothers! Kill thieves!" battle formation.

"Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves!" The officers and soldiers shouted with red eyes, fighting desperately with the Japanese army.

The 128th Regiment protected the flanks of the 918th Regiment, and met the 116th Brigade of the 119th Division of the Japanese Army who came to intercept them on the Tongshan narrow road in the southeast of Longtan Town.

The 116th Division is composed of reservists from the 16th Division. It has the same root as the 16th Division and both come from the Kyoto area of ​​Japan.

After the 16th Division was wiped out by the Nanjing Army, "every family mourned and every household cried" in the area of ​​Kyoto, which made the 116th Division full of bone-chilling desire for revenge. After seeing the 128th Regiment, the 119th Brigade Immediately screamed and rushed forward.

The 128th Regiment, under the command of the head of the regiment, Qiu Zhiji, rushed towards the 119th Brigade. The whole regiment shouted "kill the enemy and serve the country". Retreating, killing [-] enemies, and self-damaging [-], the regiment leader Qiu Zhiji was bombed by Japanese artillery shells in the fierce melee and fell into the Japanese siege.

Qiu Zhiji fought endlessly with all the officers and soldiers around him until all of them died in battle. At the last moment, Qiu Zhiji called out to the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment with the radio on the tank: "I am caught in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, and I am the only one left by my side. , never be a prisoner of the Japanese Japanese pirates in Japan! The head of this regiment is about to shoot himself and serve the country as benevolence. You must remember, kill the enemy and serve the country, and fight to the end! Don’t let the head of the regiment die with regret!" After saying this, he shot himself, and after death, his eyes widened. The corpse stood beside the tank for 1 minute before collapsing.

The officers and soldiers of the whole regiment rushed to kill the Japanese army in tears and anger of grief and hatred, and finally defeated the 813th Brigade with the help of air force reinforcements and the 119th Regiment of the friendly army.

Major General Tsunetaro Ishihara, head of the 119th Brigade, said afterwards: "We thought that the annihilation of the 16th Division was just a fluke for the Chinese Army. After this battle, we realized that the death of the 16th Division was not unjust!"

In the bloody battle where the mountains and rivers changed color, the officers and soldiers of the regular army were exhausted, and the militiamen and migrant workers bravely took up arms to participate in the battle. Watching the officers and soldiers of the regular army who protected themselves fell down in groups, the militiamen and migrant workers all Unable to suppress the grief and anger in my heart, "If it's a man, go for it!" The militiamen and migrant workers shouted with tears, joined the battle, and rushed to the Japanese army. Died, marched, and even women fought valiantly.

The militiamen and migrant workers who participated in the war had received certain training, and women who participated in the war accounted for a fraction of the total number of women, but they were also trained and had a strict organization.

The battle history of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army records: "...After the interception operation started, His Excellency Aso Lieutenant Assistant (Lieutenant Assistant Aso Nishiji, Captain of the 110rd Brigade of the 108th Regiment of the 139th Brigade of the 3th Division) led the brigade to the north of Baohua Mountain The resolute assault was carried out in the area of ​​Lu Dayao Factory, but was blocked by a group of Chinese soldiers in Dayao Factory. The Chinese soldiers had low combat power, poor marksmanship, and bad weapons. Therefore, the Aso Brigade captured Dayao Factory with only 65 casualties. position.

After the capture, His Excellency Aso Zhongzuo was surprised to find that the Chinese soldiers guarding the big kiln were a group of Chinese female soldiers of all ages, the older ones were in their 50s, and the younger ones were seventeen or eighteen years old. There were more than [-] Chinese soldiers in total. More than three hundred people.

Seeing this scene, His Excellency Aso Lieutenant Zuo felt pity. The Chinese government resorted to militarism. In order to protect its tyrannical regime, it drove women into battle on a large scale.

Lieutenant Commander Aso ordered the soldiers to appease these Chinese female soldiers with good words, and prepared to settle them properly and give them "imperial education". Unexpectedly, these Chinese female soldiers had been instilled with stubborn ideas by the Chinese government. Pulling the grenade together, they were all killed by the grenade explosion and caused 28 soldiers in the Aso Brigade to be blown to pieces!"

The Aso brigade encountered the female soldiers of the Nanjing Army. Not only the Aso brigade, but many Japanese troops encountered this kind of "Chinese female soldiers who are not strong in combat effectiveness but extremely fearless of death". The women are basically from this female army.

Women are not only victims in war, but also the biggest victim, and even the enemy's spoils of war.

There are a lot of women in the city of Nanjing, most of whom were driven into the city by the Japanese army. A large number of women have suffered unbearably painful experiences. Some of their parents were killed by the Japanese army, some husbands and children were killed by the Japanese army, and some brothers and sisters were killed by the Japanese army. Most of them were raped by the Japanese army.

Although these women are safe in Nanjing City, they have been destroyed mentally. Some of them are ashamed and sad all day long, some are ashamed and sad, and some even commit suicide. Most of them sleep at night. have nightmares.

For these women, Jiang Weiguo and others have no solution, but the female polytechnician named Wan Yuan has a solution. "Shame, grief, hatred, and anger can all be turned into motivation for revenge."

Wan Yuan once participated in the Battle of Wulong Mountain, and a large number of women on the mountain fought bravely in the bloody battle, so she believes that "as long as they are properly guided, they (these women) can also become soldiers."

"Crying? What's the use! Can you cry those devils to death? Since they killed your family members and raped your bodies, why don't you take revenge? Your dead family members are watching you from the sky! Even if you only kill one devil soldier, you It's revenge! What's the use of crying and crying all day long? Pick up a gun! Go to the battlefield! Kill those goddamn Japanese! What's suicide? The Japanese soldier who killed your family and raped your body is still alive and well! You should learn to kill! Learn to take revenge!" Wan Yuan and other women who had participated in the war in Wulong Mountain vigorously rectified those women in the city, reforming and indoctrinating them ideologically.

Although not all the victimized women were able to be converted into soldiers, a large number of women were converted, with a total number of tens of thousands.

Wan Yuan asked Jiang Weiguo for instructions, and Jiang Weiguo readily approved the establishment of this special "female army". As for the name of the army, Jiang Weiguo thought about it and felt that "Women's Army" was inappropriate. In the end, he directly used the famous "Black Widow" words.

The "Black Widow Troops" of the Nanjing Army are all Chinese women (excluding the male military instructors who taught them combat skills), and most of them are Chinese women who have a deep hatred for the Japanese army. They are not entirely for the sake of Fighting to defend their country, they basically fight for revenge.

Defending the family and the country is not their fighting belief, revenge is their fighting belief.

The female soldiers of the Black Widow clearly remember how the Japanese soldiers who were addicted to killing, addicted to rape, and insane treated them:

Killing their parents, husbands, brothers and sisters before their eyes, taking their children on bayonets for pleasure;

They ran away crying and screaming. Japanese soldiers chased after them like a group of ghosts, surrounded them, and forced them to take off their clothes. Rape them in turn in public;

Laughing grimly, the Japanese soldiers forced them to take off their clothes and dance, let them be molested naked, and even forced them to have incest with their fathers, father-in-laws, and children for them to enjoy and vent their sick animal desires;

A large number of sisters and compatriots could not bear the torture and abuse and died tragically, or were maliciously killed by the Japanese army. They beheaded, cut off their breasts, dug out their private parts, pulled out their wombs, dissected their bodies, and ripped out their internal organs. The bloody scene was as terrifying as hell Here, those Japanese soldiers clapped their hands and laughed like devils;

After being humiliated, a large number of sisters and compatriots went mad, jumped into the river, hanged themselves, and their deaths were horrific and tragic;...

The black widow troops of the Nanjing Army must not have high combat effectiveness. The physical strength of women is not as good as that of men. They have neither time to train them nor equip them with sophisticated weapons, but their fighting spirit is not inferior to that of the male soldiers of the regular army. , They harbor deep-seated hatred and are ready to destroy themselves at any time, avenging their relatives who died by the Japanese army's butcher knife, and themselves who were raped and raped by the Japanese army.

The Black Widow Army has no official military uniform for the time being, but everyone wears a black cloth on their face, which is actually a mourning for their dead relatives, and each has a hand grenade with a short fuze, which explodes as soon as it is pulled, ending their lives From time to time, it was prepared to lead the Japanese army to die together.

The members of the Black Widow almost did not hesitate when pulling the grenade, because they knew very well what their fate would be after being captured by the Japanese army.

Jiang Weiguo knew in his heart that it was "very inhumane" to form this army, but war is the most inhumane place, and, in the face of the Japanese, who are extremely vicious and vicious, the Chinese have no sense of humanity or inhumanity. Speaking of choice.

The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing army who broke out of the city, whether they were regular army officers and soldiers, militiamen, migrant workers or women, were fighting to the death and smashed the Japanese interception positions composed of two divisions.

On the way forward, the old people in the team suddenly stopped, and then waved to the officers and soldiers around them: "Children, let's go! We can't walk anymore, and we don't want to drag you down!"

Li Yutang and other generals rushed to comfort him, but the old people were determined.

An old man at the head looked at Li Yutang with eyes that could see through life and death: "Boss, we understand your intentions. We old bones can neither help you fight devils nor help you. We can only give you Trouble, in fact, we have already said to each other in advance, if the breakout goes well, we will go with you, if the breakout is not smooth, we will not leave, and the devil soldiers can kill as much as they want! We old men and women are all seventy and eighty That's enough, we've had enough, compared to those young people who were killed by devils at a young age, we've already made a lot of money.

you go!let's go!Don't take us with you again!"

"Old man..." Li Yutang and other generals all burst into tears, "We will immediately contact the troops in the city and bring you back. You insist on it..."

"No need!" The old people shook their heads one after another, "We all know that going back to the city is a trick of the little devil. The little devil just wants to use us to eat your food and prevent you from fighting. Alas, let it be like this!"

The old people in the team sat on the ground one after another, motionless, stubborn and detached, and all the officers and soldiers shed tears.

About 9 elderly people were taken out of Nanjing City, of which more than 8000 died in the melee in the north of the city (the elderly were in poor health and basically could not hold on after being injured), 6000 people got separated, and more than 4 people followed the breakout troops Leaving together, [-] people returned to the city, and [-] to [-] people chose not to leave, not wanting to continue to implicate the troops.

Most of these old people died in the wild outside the city, some were injured and starved to death, and some were massacred to death by the Japanese army.

Major General Takahashi Yuichiro, head of the 116th Brigade of the 130th Division of the Japanese Army, said afterwards: "...I hurriedly led the brigade to the Jilongshan area, preparing to intercept and kill the Chinese army that broke out from the city. One step too late, the Chinese army has already left, but there are people everywhere in the same place, densely packed and crowded. When I first saw it, I was shocked. There are at least tens of thousands of people, all of whom are old men and women from China. Sitting on the ground, the surrounding ground was covered with dead people, stumps, and pools of blood, but they turned a blind eye to us. When they saw us approaching, they just looked at us with calm expressions and whispered to each other. They were still sitting on the ground, indifferent , showed no signs of getting up and running, and was not at all afraid of us.

In order to take revenge (when the 116th Division went to the Chinese battlefield, they were repeatedly indoctrinated to "revenge the 16th Division"), some soldiers who were burning with anger stabbed those old Chinese with bayonets. The old people were stabbed to death one by one, and the rest The old man still sat there very calmly, neither frightened nor angry, as if quietly waiting in line to die.

I was suddenly a little scared, afraid of this weird atmosphere, I didn't have time to waste time on these dying old people, so I ordered the soldiers to stop, and then went to chase the fleeing Chinese army.

Two days later, I couldn't help looking back curiously, and found that the corpses of those old people were all over the mountains and plains, covering the earth layer upon layer!"

After fighting for more than five hours, the breakout troops broke through the three lines of defense of the Japanese army at Qixia Mountain, Longtan Town, and Wulong Mountain, arrived at Qiaotou Town east of Longtan Town, and gathered at the protruding part of the Yangtze River. Surrounded on three sides, forming a situation that forced it to the Yangtze River.

"Contact the Yangtze River Fleet! Cooperate with my ground troops and wipe out all the Nanjing troops who broke out of the city by the Yangtze River!" Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro ordered the communications officers around him in a hurry.

"Contact the Yangtze River Fleet! Prepare to attack! Assist the breakout troops to cross the Yangtze River and enter the middle of the Soviet Union!" At the same time, Jiang Weiguo also hurriedly ordered the communications officers around him.
