Chapter 1345 Aim at the Right Target

However, as a member of the crossing army, Ye Tian was very familiar with the ending of the Nanjing Defense War.

Although Tang Shengzhi was very courageous, he volunteered to become the commander of the Nanjing City Defense and led more than 100,000 Chinese soldiers to defend the city.

Although Tang Shengzhi repeatedly stated that he would live and die with the city of Nanjing.

In order to encourage the morale of the army and the people, he even imitated the ancient Chinese sages and played a wave of burning the boats.

Specifically, the city of Nanjing was almost surrounded by the Japanese and puppet coalition forces.

Only the suburbs of Nanjing, that is, the Xiaguan area, was temporarily controlled by the Chinese side.

And this place was the only retreat direction for the Chinese garrison troops.

From Xiaguan, crossing the Yangtze River and reaching Pukou, they could temporarily escape the joint attack of the Japanese and puppet coalition forces.

However, under Tang Shengzhi's order, most of the ships near Xiaguan were uniformly destroyed.

Only a very small number of ships were directly controlled by Tang Shengzhi.

With such a small number of ships, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of civilians in Nanjing City retreating, even more than 100,000 soldiers defending the city were not enough.

Naturally, with Tang Shengzhi's retreat order, the retreat order in Xiaguan was extremely chaotic.

Although the military police repeatedly tried to maintain order, they soon lost control because there were too many troops in a hurry to retreat.

It was a mess, and you can imagine how low the efficiency of the retreat was.

In the end, when the Japanese and puppet coalition forces chased them, there were very few troops who were lucky enough to evacuate Xiaguan and reach Pukou on the opposite bank.

The Chinese soldiers who did not have time to retreat, including the civilians who were unwilling to abandon their homes and careers, died one after another in the infamous Nanjing Massacre.

The most important thing is that the devils were worse than beasts. Once the Nanjing Massacre began, it lasted for more than half a year!

Although Ye Tian was very clear about this tragic ending, he was powerless to change it.

The reason is very simple. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had too few troops, just a few hundred people.

On the other hand, the Japanese-Puppet Allied Forces had a force of over a million.

Although they were unable to change the overall situation, Ye Tian was unwilling to accept it.

In fact, Ye Tian had already started operations for the Nanjing Defense War.

For example, through various forms, Ye Tian repeatedly popularized the fact that the devils would play the Nanjing Massacre.

What made Ye Tian depressed was that many Chinese people were conservative in their thinking. Even at this time, they were still unwilling to leave their homeland.

Especially those elderly people, who were even more unwilling to evacuate even if they were beaten to death.

Perhaps, when they really encounter the butcher knives of the devils and traitors, they will regret their decision not to retreat?

What Ye Tian was happy to see was that with the beginning of the Nanjing Defense War, more and more Chinese people finally recognized the situation.

In other words, no matter how reluctant they were to leave their homes, they had to do so.

Based on the various historical common sense he had acquired before crossing, Ye Tian also knew one thing.

In fact, the Nanjing Massacre did not start on the day the city was broken!

To be precise, the Nanjing Massacre kicked off on the day the Nanjing Defense War began.

The prelude was opened by the various disguised teams of the devils!

These disguised teams cruised in front of the Japanese and puppet coalition forces.

Their mission was simple, which was to scout the enemy so that the army could attack the Chinese city defense forces in a targeted manner.

The barracks, force deployment, defensive positions, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery positions, and various command posts of the Chinese city defense forces...

In order to better perform these tasks, these disguised teams would not mind swinging their butcher knives at the Chinese people whenever they met them in order not to be discovered by the Chinese troops!

If this is not the prelude to the Nanjing Massacre, what is it?

Of course, in order to better perform these combat tasks, these disguised teams all played routines.

On the one hand, the devils all dressed up as Chinese people, so as to confuse the sight of the Chinese troops.

The most important thing is that these disguised teams have local traitors or devil spies who have been lurking for a long time to lead the way!

The island country has been carefully preparing for hundreds of years to invade all of China.

Therefore, in order to achieve this strategic goal, the island country has already begun careful preparations.

And vigorously developing traitors and sending spies to various Chinese institutions is an important part of careful preparation.

Nanjing City is in danger!

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian dared not neglect it.

After temporarily giving up the harassment of the Central China Front Army Headquarters, Ye Tian rushed to Nanjing City as fast as lightning.

The key point is that thinking of the wretchedness of these disguised teams, Ye Tian intends to deal with them well.

These devils, including traitors, although the number of troops is not large, they pose a great threat to Nanjing City.

It is after receiving their reports that the main force of the Central China Front Army can more effectively attack various military targets in China.

The most important thing is that with the cooperation of these disguised teams, the Central China Front Army really easily defeated the Chinese city defense troops and captured Nanjing City.

If you think of it, you must do it!

Nanjing City is the capital of China, and its geographical location is very important.

Naturally, there are dense railways everywhere in the suburbs of Nanjing City.

With the start of the Nanjing Defense War, most of these railways were occupied by the Central China Front Army.

Through these railways, the Central China Front Army continuously transported troops, weapons and equipment, military rations, etc. to the front line.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian was furious.

In addition to being furious, Ye Tian immediately took action.

Yes, it is important to deal with the disguised teams of the devils, and it is also important to destroy the railway and attack the devil army train heading to Nanjing.

Under Ye Tian's gaze, a military train loaded with a devil regiment and weapons and equipment was heading to Nanjing City in an emergency.

In order to save time, that is, to wipe out the devils on this train, Ye Tian didn't mind using a big move.

With excellent eyesight, Ye Tian quickly chose a position by climbing high and looking far.

Five kilometers ahead, there is a big turn on the railway.

Ye Tian decided to attack there.

And the weapon and equipment that Ye Tian attacked was the self-propelled artillery modified from the fortress gun.

It must be said that in order to increase the success rate of the sneak attack, Ye Tian had already asked the dead soldiers to do something special.

It was very simple, just to arrange camouflage for this self-propelled artillery.

Under Ye Tian's gaze, the Japanese train quickly drove to the designated location.

They will soon participate in the final battle to destroy China!

Thinking of this, nearly 4,000 Japanese soldiers were full of confidence.

Naturally, they were in the train, and in addition to talking nonsense, they kept looking around.

In order to observe more carefully, many well-known Japanese soldiers did not forget to wear binoculars.
