Chapter 1288 Rescue of the 667th Regiment

The soldiers quickly dismantled the portable instruments that could be taken away.

The soldiers violently blew up the ones that could not be taken away.

The barrels of the fortress guns were filled with mud and sand by the soldiers.

Then, the soldiers fired again.

Naturally, almost all the barrels of the fortress guns exploded.

Some barrels were too strong and could not be destroyed as desired.

For this reason, some soldiers with clear minds had to take a large amount of sulfuric acid and pour it into the barrels.

Naturally, accompanied by wisps of green smoke, these fortress guns became waste.

After these operations, the fortress soldiers began to retreat.

It must be said that before the fortress soldiers retreated, they carried out indiscriminate bombing on a large area.

First, close shooting, and then extended shooting.

The firepower density was so high and the power of the shells was so strong.

Naturally, their retreat, although there were some twists and turns, was generally smooth sailing.

The fortress soldiers retreated smoothly, but the 667th Regiment of the 112th Division, which was responsible for blocking, was in a rather miserable situation.

In fact, the 667th Regiment also had the responsibility to cover the fortress soldiers' retreat.

Otherwise, these fortress soldiers would not have retreated so smoothly.

All the Chinese troops retreated.

Only the soldiers of the 667th Regiment were left.

Logically speaking, the area near Jiangyin would not be trapped in the tragedy of fighting alone because it was very close to Nanjing.

In other words, there were so many Chinese troops around Nanjing City that they could easily help them by sending one casually, so as not to let them fight alone.

However, there were difficulties for these Chinese troops.

The reason was very simple. Most of these Chinese troops were the remnants of the defeated troops who retreated from the battlefield of the Battle of Shanghai.

Although after arriving in Nanjing, both personnel and equipment were greatly supplemented.

However, most of these supplemented personnel were recruits.

The key point was that most of these recruits had not received much training.

Even, to put it bluntly, many recruits can't shoot.

That's not all. In the magnificent Battle of Songhu, many grassroots officers died in large numbers.

Facing the large-caliber naval guns and aircraft bombardment of the devils, and the army artillery that far exceeded the quantity and quality of China, all Chinese troops were very passive.

However, in order to defend the country, these grassroots officers had to take the lead in leading the troops to fight the devils.

Flesh and blood, facing heavy weapons.

It is conceivable how great the losses of these grassroots officers will be.

Most of the soldiers are recruits with extremely poor military literacy, and a large number of grassroots officers are missing.

The most important thing is that compared with the devils, the heavy weapons of the Chinese troops are seriously inferior.

Therefore, rashly sending a troop to help the 667th Regiment is actually a refueling tactic.

What is the refueling tactic?

It's very simple. Once the target troops come and are targeted by the devils, the end result is that they will be wiped out.

Besides, the Battle of Nanjing is about to begin.

Under such circumstances, in order to fight the Nanjing Defense War well, the Chinese Supreme Command was not convenient to send reinforcements.

In this way, the 667th Regiment became the punching bag of the devils.

Of course, the 667th Regiment knew its own fate.

With the enthusiasm of defending the country, the soldiers have decided to live and die with the position, so as to serve the motherland.

To be honest, in the Jiangyin Defense War, although China failed and the navy had to be annihilated, it caused great damage to the devil troops.

In particular, the arrival of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army almost wiped out the 11th Squadron of the Third Fleet of the Island Country.

Naturally, the big devils responsible for attacking Jiangyin were all trembling with anger.

In order to vent his anger and depression, the big devil Hasegawa Kiyoshi immediately issued some combat orders.

The 13th Division quickly surrounded the 667th Regiment of China.

In particular, the troops closer to the 667th Regiment, including the traitor troops, must act immediately.

Troops at a distance quickly assembled at the location of the 667th Regiment.

The Cavalry Regiment, making full use of the advantage of the cavalry's fast speed, must participate in the encirclement and suppression of the 667th Regiment as soon as possible.

With an order from Hasegawa Kiyoshi, all the devils and all the traitor troops entered the role.

For these military information, Ye Tian immediately understood them through some channels.

After figuring out these military information, Ye Tian ran to the 667th Regiment without hesitation.

The location of the 667th Regiment.

At this moment, realizing that they were responsible for covering the retreat of the entire army, all the soldiers of the 667th Regiment were united and had already regarded life and death as nothing.

Considering that the enemy was numerous and we were few, and the enemy's firepower was strong, without any hesitation, the 667th Regiment reached a consensus.

Everyone must go to the battlefield!

No reserve troops are left!

With an order, in order to facilitate command, the regiment commander Feng Changqing even placed the regiment headquarters on the front line.

Of course, all the soldiers were still busy building various trenches, individual bunkers, various fortifications, etc.

Especially the anti-tank trenches, the soldiers dug them very wide and deep.

Although the Japanese tanks were thin-skinned and large-filled, their firepower and defense were far inferior to those of the European and American powers.

However, even such tanks were a powerful weapon that was difficult for the Chinese soldiers to shake.

The reason is very simple. There is a serious lack of anti-tank guns, that is, anti-tank guns, in the Chinese army.

There is no way. In order to destroy this kind of big killer, the Chinese soldiers have to fill it with human lives.

And this tactical play is mainly cluster grenades or Molotov cocktails.

It must be said that whether it is cluster grenades or Molotov cocktails, they must be thrown at the devil's dinky tanks by manpower.

The success rate of this operation is absolutely slim.

In addition to small cannons, there are also machine guns inside these dinky tanks.

In other words, these machine guns will kill and maim them before the Chinese soldiers get close.

Considering these situations, the 667th Regiment had to dig anti-tank trenches to prevent the devil's dinky tanks from getting close as much as possible.

In fact, before the 667th Regiment made all the defensive preparations, the 1st Regiment of the 13th Division, which acted quickly, launched an attack on them.

The key point is that the first to launch the attack was the artillery regiment of the 13th Division.

For a time, the positions of the 667th Regiment were riddled with holes due to the bombing of the Japanese.

Most importantly, many carefully dug and built fortifications were easily destroyed by artillery shells.

Of course, many soldiers were killed or maimed by the shrapnel and shock waves of the shells.

That was not all. Before the bombardment ended, 3,800 Japanese soldiers from the 1st Regiment swarmed and charged at the positions of the 667th Regiment.

On the other side, seeing that the Japanese actually played a combination of infantry and artillery, the soldiers of the 667th Regiment looked uglier than each other.
