Seeing Shigeta's figure go away, Shiro Inaba turned his gaze to the north again.

To the north, the city of Nanjing under the night sky is like a monster from ancient times, crouching under the sky, and the towering Zhonghua Gate Tower is like a large mouth of the monster, ready to choose people to devour.

Across the towering Zhonghua Gatehouse, the gunfire in Nanjing became more intense.

Sakai Tokutaro took two steps forward, stood beside Shiro Inaba, and said faintly: "Division commander, if the main force of the division does not enter the city to reinforce, I am afraid that the Kumamoto United and Kagoshima United will be hanging." ”

"There are also the Kanazawa Wing and the Nara Wing of the Shanghai Army." Ushijima Mitsuya stepped forward and said, "There are also the 6th Field Artillery Wing, the 10th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing, and the 5th Independent Siege Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the hundreds of thousands of routs that have gone crazy will tear them all to pieces!" ”

Shiro Inaba's face became gloomy.

"Hopefully they'll make it until dawn." Tokutaro Sakai sighed and said quietly.

"Hold on until dawn?" Ushijima shook his head, expressing great doubts about this, knowing that at this moment, the hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers in Nanjing City were completely crazy!

Tokutaro Sakai suddenly said again: "Division commander, what did His Highness Hatohiko say there?" ＂

Shiro Inaba hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's be silent for the time being." ＂

……

At the same time, the headquarters of the Command Army was sent to Shanghai in the town of Tangshan.

Matsui Ishine had also come to the courtyard, looking forward to the direction of Nanjing.

Although it is separated by more than 20 kilometers, from Tangshan Town, you can still faintly see the firelight of Nanjing, so you can imagine what kind of scene it is in Nanjing at this time?

Looking in the direction of Nanjing City, Matsui Ishone's belief suddenly wavered.

"Tsukada-kun, Iinuma-kun." Matsui Ishone suddenly turned around and said to the two chiefs of staff behind him, "Could our choice be wrong?" ”

"Hello!" Tsukada suddenly shook his head and said solemnly, "Ordering the troops outside the city not to be allowed to reinforce, and watching the four wings and artillery units in the city being besieged by the broken troops of the city is indeed a difficult decision, but the lesser of two evils, compared to the erosion of the entire Nanjing battle situation, this loss is nothing." ”

"Soga." Mamoru Iinuma nodded and said, "What's more, the four infantry wings and artillery units in the city may not hold out until dawn, as long as they can hold out until dawn, the aviation and artillery outside the city will be able to provide fire support, and the main force of the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the Tenth Army can also enter the city in a big way to support!" ”

"I hope so." Matsui Ishone said, "I hope the troops in the city can hold out until dawn." ”

"Hello!" Tsukada Tsukada and Iinuma Mamoru paused and said in a firm tone, "It will definitely be!" ”

……

The time quietly came to 3 o'clock in the morning on the 15th.

Another group of national army routs under the leadership of Zhu Liangcheng came to Xinjiekou, this time, the rout soldiers came not a thousand, not even three or five thousand, but as many as tens of thousands!

More than 10,000 national troops were defeated at once, which could keep Guo Qi and Chen Luyuan busy.

Guo Qi hurriedly took the people from the baggage battalion to distribute guns and ammunition to the rout, and Chen Luyuan led the people from the logistics department to distribute canned biscuits and wool coins to the rout, as well as freshly steamed steamed buns, hot!

Zhong Yi boarded the radio car and said loudly through the radio: "Brothers, don't worry, everyone has guns and bullets, canned biscuits, towels, and hot white flour steamed buns, and they will definitely be enough!" ”

"Thank you, Zhong Tuanza!"

"The brothers of the 367th Regiment are righteous!"

"Then you're welcome!"

More than 10,000 defeated soldiers gathered at Xinjiekou applauded.

Zhong Yi said loudly through the radio again: "Brothers, after receiving guns, ammunition, biscuits, canned towels, and steamed buns, immediately attack north along Zhongshan Road, all the way to the north, all the way to the north, and don't stop until the Rujiang Gate and the Central Gate!" On the way, when you meet a little devil, you will beat Lao Tzu to death, where the gunfire is loudest, where to fight, do you hear? ”

"I heard you!"

"I heard you!"

"I heard you!"

The rout, who had already received guns, ammunition and provisions, responded violently while munching on steamed buns.

"Then what are you still doing there?" Zhong Yi opened his throat and roared, "Copy guy, go on!" ”

"Yes!" The tens of thousands of defeated soldiers who were in a state of excitement let out a beastly howl, and then grabbed the rifles or machine guns they had just received, and swarmed north along the Zhongshan Road.

Seeing tens of thousands of rout soldiers disappear to the north of Zhongshan Road, Zhong Yi turned around and asked, "Chief of Staff Qiu, this is the first batch of rout soldiers we have sent away?" ”

"Nineteenth!" Qiu Qingquan replied, "There must be more than 90,000 people in total!" ”

In such a short period of time, he was able to gather more than 90,000 defeated soldiers, which had exceeded Zhong Yi's expectations.

After all, it is absolutely impossible to gather all the more than 100,000 defeated troops, and the organization of more than 100,000 troops is a huge and complicated project, and there will always be defeated troops who run in the wrong direction or are unwilling to come to Xinjiekou to return to the team.

Of course, there is no need to hide that there will definitely be routs who are afraid of the enemy and find a place to hide.

Therefore, Zhong Yi was already very satisfied that more than 90,000 defeated soldiers could come and return to the team in such a short period of time.

"More than 90,000 people!" Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "Have all the troops sent out come back?" ”

Qiu Qingquan replied: "Except for Guo Weiquan's 6th Company, which has not returned, the rest have already returned!" ”

"Then don't wait!" Zhong Yi had an inexplicable fierce light in his eyes, and he beckoned Zhu Liangcheng to come over, and then continued, "Old Zhu, and Chief of Staff Qiu, now we will divide the work." ”

Zhu Liangcheng nodded respectfully, and Qiu Qingquan's face became solemn.

Qiu Qingquan knew that the rout had been fully launched, and it was time for Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment to make a move!

If nothing else, tonight, the little devil will definitely suffer a big loss, regardless of the devils outside the city, the devils in the city will definitely not be able to escape!

But even if it is just to annihilate the devils in the city, it will be an unprecedented victory!

Annihilating four infantry wings and two artillery wings of the Japanese army at one time, when did the national army win such a great victory?

Zhong Yi said: "Judging from the current situation, there are three directions where the gunfire is the most intense, one is the Zeng Gong Ancestral Hall in the south, the second is the military medical school in the east, and then the direction of the Central University in the north!" ”

"That's right!" Zhu Liangcheng and Qiu Qingquan nodded at the same time.

Zhong Yi continued: "Lao Zhu, you take the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion to the direction of the Zeng Gong Ancestral Hall, Chief of Staff Qiu, you take the 3rd Battalion and the 7th Independent Battalion to the Military Medical School, and I take the 1st Company, 2nd Company and 1st Independent Battalion of the Guards to Central University!" Lao Zhu, as well as Chief of Staff Qiu, you must remember that this is a chaotic battle, and you must win in chaos! ”

"Understood!" Zhu Liangcheng and Qiu Qingquan nodded at the same time.

Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said, "Let's start!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng and Qiu Qingquan nodded heavily.
