"Bang!"
An artillery shell broke the silence and landed on Jiangyin Fortress, waking up the defenders there.
"Hurry up! Inform the headquarters that the Japanese are attacking!”A captain of the National Army shouted,
"Defend! Defend! Requesting immediate support from the higher-ups!"
Before he could finish speaking, the battle was about to break out. Gunshots, cannons, and roars mixed with blood dyed the land red. Not long after, the fully equipped Japanese soldiers completely suppressed the national army. A moment later, Jiangyin Fortress fell, leaving corpses everywhere.
After the battle ended, the commander of the Japanese Central China Army, General Matsui Ishigen, immediately ordered the General Staff to issue the Continental Order No. 8.
"The commander of the Central China Front Army must cooperate with the navy to capture the enemy's capital, Nanjin."
At this time, Yanagawa Heisuke, the temporary commander of the Japanese Tenth Army, was gathering his subordinates for a meeting. In the command center, Yanagawa Heisuke said to everyone,
" We have received the general's order and are about to attack Nanjin. Do you have any plans?" As soon as he finished speaking, the disdainful voices of his subordinates sounded.
"General, the Chinese army is vulnerable. No matter how we fight, victory will belong to us."
"General, we haven't met any elite Chinese troops along the way. I think they're powerless to turn the situation around."
" In Songhu, the Chinese had the geographical advantage and even sent a heavy force to guard it, but it was still easily broken through by our army. Wouldn't it be easy to break through the capital of the Chinese?"
"Hmph, Chinese? Songhu has already been taken down by our army, Nanjin is not worth mentioning."
..........
Liu Chuan did not stop his subordinates from shouting. Instead, he laughed and praised them.
"Hahahaha, as expected of the soldiers of our empire. When we break through the enemy's capital, I'll celebrate with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese were obviously very happy. It was as if breaking through Nanjin was a piece of cake for them. It was not their fault for being arrogant.
In all the battles, be it in terms of military strength or weapons, they were much better than the National Army. In their hearts, they had already belittled the National Army.
From afar, it could be said that the Japanese had fought all the way through the uninhabited land. From closer, it could be said that the National Army, which had just ended the Songhu Battle, had suffered a crushing defeat despite having a geographical advantage and good military strength and equipment. This was simply unbelievable and a great humiliation!
In their eyes, Nanjin was already an item that could be easily obtained.
After shouting for a while, Liu Chuan began to plan the battle.
" The 114th Division is advancing towards the south of Nanjing along the Liyang and Lishui Highways."
"The 6th Division will follow the Guangde and Honglan Highways. After the 114th Division, they will also attack the south of Nanjin."
"The Guoqi detachment took Taiping (Dangtu) along the Guangde and Langxi roads, then crossed the river and circled around Pukou to cut off the retreat of the Nanjing garrison."
"The 18th division will attack Qianghu through Xuancheng and cut off the retreat of the Nanjin garrison."
The orders were passed down in an orderly manner. After the subordinates received the orders, they began to prepare the army and set off for Nanjin.
At the same time, the 18th division, the 9th division, the 13th division of the Tiangu Division, followed the orders of the general and headed towards Nanjin.
A storm was about to come, and a great battle was about to erupt!
On the other side, at the Nanjin headquarters, two days had passed since the pre-war mobilization meeting. Last night, Lieutenant General Gui had specially found Ye Song for a secret meeting.
"Ye Song thanks the general for speaking up for me." Ye Song looked at Gui Yongqing and bowed sincerely.
"Alright, kid. Even if I don't step out, Tang Shenzhi wouldn't dare to do anything to you."
"Let's get down to business. Is what you said about Tang the day before true?" Lieutenant General Gui waved his hand indifferently.
"I, Ye Song, will never joke around with others!”Ye Song said firmly.
Lieutenant General Gui thought for a moment before slowly saying,
"If it's really as you said, this General Tang can't be trusted, I'm afraid we'll have to make other arrangements for the next battle."
Then the two chatted until late at night. After Ye Song's request for the 5th Regiment to arrange their own battle plan was agreed, Ye Song told Gui Yongqing that this battle would be more difficult than he had imagined and asked Lieutenant General Gui to evacuate the residents in time. Gui Yongqing gladly accepted.
Early the next morning, Ye Song had just woken up and washed up when his chief of staff rushed in.
"Guild Leader, Guild Leader, something bad has happened! We received an urgent telegram from the front line. The devils have broken through Jiangyin and are gathering their troops to Nanjin."
Ye Song wiped his hands and smiled at the Chief of Staff.
"Alright, there's no hurry. It should be around these few days. Brothers, you've waited for too long."
Ye Song immediately restrained his expression and ordered the chief of staff.
"Pass on my order. Immediately prepare the army, check their equipment, and follow me!”
Set off? Where to? Not in Nanjin? Although the chief of staff was puzzled, he still obeyed the order. The orders of his regiment commander would never be wrong. This was a fact that he had always believed in!
After the chief of staff left, Ye Song smiled again. He looked at himself in the mirror and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"It's finally here. This time, I'll make sure that you won't be able to go back even if you want to!”The warm smile reflected the cold light
