"Lao Leng, there was news from the First Army Hospital just now, Peng Chao's injury is not optimistic, the hospital lacks anti-infection drugs, he now has a high fever of 39 degrees, and he is in a coma."

Leng Feng kept smoking, bad news one after another, rumors spread in the city, and order was chaotic, even the commanders of the troops defending the city couldn't tell which news was true and which news was fake.

"The garrison commander's headquarters has already begun to formulate a retreat plan, and I am afraid that Nanjing City will not be able to hold it." Qin Yankun said.

"How long can Guanghua Gate be guarded?" Luo Yufeng knocked on the table angrily and asked heavily.

"I'm afraid no one knows now." Qin Yankun smiled bitterly.

"Lao Leng, we also have to prepare to retreat, in case the order comes down, we will also leave."

"The second regiment stayed to fight in the streets, which we discussed at the beginning." Luo Yufeng said.

"If the Commander's Department asks us to stay and fight in the streets, we are soldiers, so naturally we can't disobey the military order, but if the Commander's Department asks us to retreat, we can't disobey the military order, right?"

"Qin Yankun, you have to be a coward, you go by yourself, I'll stay!"

"Lao Luo, I also want to stay, but what should I do if there are so many brothers in our second regiment and the wounded?" Qin Yankun smiled bitterly.

"Street fighting has to be fought, but not all of us have to stay, and if one of the three of us stays, someone has to withdraw with troops and the wounded." Leng Feng said slowly, of course he knew that the order to retreat would not be long before it was issued.

But now in the chaos in the city, in the end, this order and the retreat plan were not effectively carried out at all.

Moreover, the retreat plan was formulated in a hurry, and the time was not enough, and the final result was that a large number of national troops were captured.

The result of the capture was obvious, and the vast majority of these people fell under the bayonets of the Japanese army.

"I'm afraid that the brothers have concerns about the street fighting."

Leng Feng knew that once a street battle was fought, there would be no supplies and no backup, and he would have to deal with hundreds of times the enemy in the city, which was a huge test of the physical fitness and will of the officers and men, especially the mental pressure, which was something that very people could do.

Leng Feng didn't plan to let all the second regiment stay to fight street battles with him, he imagined that only one battalion of troops would be enough.

Three hundred people plus the Yaksha Special Operations Group.

"Lao Luo is now the acting head of the regiment and the chief officer of the second regiment, and he must follow the brigade, otherwise the army's morale will be unstable." Leng Feng's words were convincing.

"Lao Leng, let's say okay, stay together, live and die together."

"Lao Qin, Lao Luo's temperament is relatively hot, I don't feel at ease without you looking at him, so once the retreat order is issued, you go with Lao Luo!"

"Old Leng, you leave ...... alone" Qin Yankun was anxious, the night before, the three of them had made an oath to live and die together.

"Don't fight, I stayed because I was mentally prepared for a long time, and I have rich experience in street fighting, the second regiment needs the two of you, otherwise, they won't be able to get out of this city." Leng Feng said, "We don't care how the other troops retreat, the second regiment must choose a frontal breakthrough." ”

"Frontal breakout?" Both were slightly startled.

"According to my estimates, the Japanese army should be able to break through the walled position, so the breakthrough time is set for the first night of the Japanese army's entry into the city." Leng Feng said.

"According to common sense, when the Japanese army enters the city, the city wall position is shaken along the whole line, and our army will inevitably retreat, otherwise we will only have to fight in the streets and fight to the death with the Japanese army, so my retreat plan is like this......" Leng Feng beckoned, summoned Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun to him, and whispered with a face.

"That's too risky, isn't it?" Qin Yankun listened to Leng Feng's plan and lost his voice in shock.

"The plan is a bit risky, but the chance of success is also quite large, as long as we want to run, the Japanese army may not be able to do anything to us." Luo Yufeng was not too surprised.

"Lao Luo, this plan is too risky, if you don't get it, it will be wiped out." Qin Yankun said urgently.

"But do we have a choice?" Luo Yufeng asked, "If we all go down to Xiaguan, unless we order the First Army in Jiangbei to send a ship to meet them, it will be difficult for so many people to withdraw to Jiangbei District in a short time, what are the consequences of staying?" ”

"From the current point of view, the Commander's Department has not realized the mistake of the previous order, in order to realize the intention of fighting against the water, all the ships have been sent to Jiangbei, and the only ships that can cross the river are in the hands of the 36th Division, once the situation changes, these ships can only be paid in a cup of water, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, we can't expect the Japanese to treat our people well, they are a group of beasts without humanity!" Leng Feng said.

"Yes, even if you have to fight against the water, there is no need to withdraw all the transportation to the east, now it's okay, once you retreat, there is not even one, more than 100,000 troops, there are not hundreds of ships, how to withdraw?"

"And the people who have destroyed their homes and relieved their lives, what will they do? They had already been devastated by the Japanese air raids, and it would be an unprecedented disaster if the Japanese army broke out. ”

"From the telegrams of the Japanese army, as well as all indications, the possibility of such a thing happening is very high." Leng Feng said.

"Tuanzuo, Director Qin, the Japanese army rushed up......"

"What, what's going on?" Like a whirlwind, the cold front rushed out of the command post and ran towards the forward position.

The Japanese shells kept falling, and Leng Feng dodged several times before rushing to the position, and it was the second battalion that guarded the position at this time!

Zhu Yaming, the commander of the second battalion, was leading a platoon of soldiers to fiercely counterattack the small group of Japanese troops who rushed up to the city wall.

Zhu Yaming was a little anxious, and when he came up, he actually let the Japanese army break through, but fortunately, the opening was not big, and the Japanese army rushed in more than a dozen people.

The Japanese army's fighting style is very fierce, and if they tear a hole a little, they will keenly grasp a little bit and attack to the death!

I have to admit that the tactical quality of the lower-level officers and soldiers of the Japanese army is extremely high, and it may not be possible to do it if they are replaced by the national army.

"Zhu Yaming, come back, if you fight like this, the lives of many brothers are not enough for you to send!" Leng Feng scolded angrily.

Three-person and four-person attack tactics, Leng Feng has long been taught, of course, the time is too short, there are more recruits in the second battalion, it is already very good to let them fight bravely with the Japanese army on the position without being afraid, and it is a fantasy to master group attack tactics in one night!

"Boss, the little devils don't have heavy firepower, but their marksmanship is too accurate, and they have cover, we ......" Zhu Yaming retreated with shame on his face.

"What about the grenades, the grenades are not given to you for food, and you won't throw grenades at such a distance?" Leng Feng scolded.

"Cold heads, grenades don't work, they hide in a clever position, and the grenades we threw over can't blow them up at all!"

"Give me the binoculars!" Leng Feng was stunned for a moment, he really encountered hard stubble.

In the telescope, Leng Feng carefully observed the ambush position of this small Japanese army, which was really difficult to deal with, hiding in the doorway under the city wall, although it was in a low place, the view up was blocked by the collapsed city wall.

These guys could shoot at the officers and men of the second battalion on the city wall through the gaps in the bricks of the city wall, but it was difficult for the officers and men of the second battalion to find their location.

Throwing a grenade down didn't do much either.

"Molotov cocktails, throw Molotov cocktails below, the bomb can't blow them up, then burn them!" Leng Feng slapped the hard city bricks and said.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it, quick, send the Molotov cocktail!" Zhu Yaming patted his head and said happily.

Molotov cocktails were quickly sent up, and then, thrown down at the position of the Japanese soldiers, dozens of Molotov cocktails were thrown over, and a sea of fire suddenly burned below, followed by the sound of Japanese soldiers screaming.

"Go down and purge the remnants of the enemy!"

"Yes, brothers, go down with me and send the little devil back to his hometown!" Zhu Yaming waved his hand and rushed down with the soldiers.

"The remnants of the enemy have been cleared!" About seven or eight minutes later, Zhu Yaming returned to the city wall position with his people and reported to Leng Feng.

Repelled the Japanese attack, and the position temporarily resumed firing at the position.

"Big Brother ......"

"Really?" Leng Feng's eyes lit up, his arrangement was finally not in vain, and the Japanese army really discovered the secret passage.

Leng Feng concluded that the Japanese army had discovered the secret passage, and they would definitely not be able to resist the huge temptation of the day.

"There were about seven or eight Japanese soldiers coming from the secret passage just now, they should have come to reconnoiter in advance, and they didn't find us." Cong Hu reported.

On the side of the inspection office, Leng Feng did not leave too many troops, and sent the remaining few people from the first squad of the Yaksha Special Operations Group to monitor there.

"Watch carefully, report as soon as there is any movement, and I'll set up a special phone line for you, so you don't have to run back." Leng Feng nodded.

"It's a pity that Peng Chao is not here." Speaking of Peng Chao, Cong Hu and Leng Feng's moods sank, the rear hospital must be short of doctors and medicines, I don't know if he can survive this hurdle.

The battle continued, and the Japanese launched a diversionary attack on the Gwanghwamen Gate, inflicting considerable casualties on the defenders on the city walls with each charge.

Of course, the casualties of the Japanese army were not small, and both sides fought very hard.

Most of the Japanese firepower was concentrated on the Zhonghua Gate, and the 6th and 114th Master Regiments stormed the Zhonghua Gate, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the news finally came that Yuhuatai had completely fallen.

Losing the commanding heights, it will be even more difficult for the defenders of Zhonghua Gate to fight.

Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived, otherwise the Zhonghua Gate position might have been broken through by the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

Even worse news came, the 88th Division, which had withdrawn without authorization, had a fierce clash with the 36th Division guarding near the Shuixi Gate, and even killed each other!

The 36th Division received an order to defend on the spot and block all the retreating troops that were scattered!

Prior to this, the 36th Division received an order to "march to Nanjing City and prepare for street fighting", but because of this, the officers and men of the 36th Division were at a loss for two orders in succession, and they became a mess.

At this time, rumors were spreading, and the officers and soldiers who defended the city were themselves in chaos, and the whole city of Nanjing fell into a dangerous and impatient panic.
