"Send a telegram to Liu Xinyu and ask him to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese ships, and if there is anything abnormal, report it immediately!" Leng Feng was still not at ease, and added two more sentences at the end of the message, "It is a matter of life and death for the 20,000 soldiers of the National Salvation Division, and we must not be negligent." ”

"Go ahead and sign my name."

After giving the order, Leng Feng still felt that something was wrong, and at this time, the phone on the table rang, and Leng Feng picked it up.

"Leng Tou, it's me, Liang Dong, I just came back from the front line, and I have something important to report to you." Liang Dong's wheezing voice came from inside, "It's not clear on the phone, I want to go over to find you in person." ”

"Okay, come here, on a horse or in a car?"

"There's a car at the brigade headquarters, I'll take a car over there!" Liang Dong Road.

"Good!" Leng Feng then hung up the phone.

It takes at least half an hour to get from Zhonghua Gate to the headquarters of the traffic building, and this is still when the road is clear.

Leng Feng waited for nearly an hour before he heard the sound of a car motor outside.

"Coldhead, I'm here." The weather was cold, minus seven or eight degrees, although he came by car, Liang Dong was still not lightly frozen, and his face turned blue.

"Sit down and have a cup of hot tea, it's so cold, I'll have someone prepare a supper for you." Leng Feng greeted.

"Chief, I'm not hungry, let me tell you about my discoveries at the front of the reconnaissance." Liang Dong said anxiously, if he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to say it clearly on the phone, he wouldn't have made this trip, and the roads in this city would have been difficult to walk.

"Okay, you speak slowly, don't rush."

"Boss, I want a map?"

Leng Feng took a map of Nanjing and spread it out on the coffee table in front of the two.

"Shortly after dark. The Japanese army significantly slowed down its offensive. Until about seven o'clock. They stopped the attack completely, we thought that the Japanese army would reorganize the army and fight again, but we waited and waited, and there was not the slightest movement on the Japanese position, so I took a reconnaissance squad to secretly arrive to investigate, we found that the Japanese army was eating and chatting on the position, and there was no intention of attacking again......" Liang Dong said slowly.

So I made a bold decision. I changed into a set of Japanese military clothes and touched it myself......"

Leng Feng was stunned for a moment, Liang Dong's courage was really not small, he actually touched it like this, could it be that the guards on the Japanese position were blind?

However, this is not impossible.

The Japanese army has also fought for a day, and when people are sleepy and tired, it is inevitable that they will be distracted.

"Boss, guess what I saw?"

"What?"

"Tanks, and artillery. All are heavy guns of more than 100 mm caliber, and there are at least thirty tanks or more. There were no less than 60 pieces of artillery, and I was scared into a cold sweat at that time, if the Japanese army had such heavy firepower today, it would have flattened the Zhonghuamen position a long time ago, how could we hold the Yuhuatai position? ”

"These tanks and artillery have just been concentrated in the Ninth Division." Leng Feng said, the heavy artillery wing attached to the 3rd Division let itself be wiped out, and the 3rd Division's ability to attack fortifications was greatly reduced, so he suffered a lot in Zhongshanmen.

The Ninth Division ran for a long distance, but there was only one mountain artillery wing, which was attached to a field artillery wing, and the artillery of the whole division added up to more than 100 guns, which was much stronger than ****, but there were not many heavy guns above 100 mm caliber, and under normal circumstances, there were no more than forty-eight guns at most.

And Liang Dong actually saw more than 60 heavy guns with a caliber of more than 100 mm, which was a serious problem.

"Directions, coordinates!"

Leng Feng asked calmly.

"Here, five kilometers to the southwest, behind the Red Hair Mountain." Liang Dong pointed to a location on the map, the specific location was too dark, and I didn't dare to get too close, if it weren't for the light from their car lights, it would be really difficult for me to find out.

"It seems that the Japanese army wants to break into the city from the Zhonghua Gate!" Leng Feng said categorically, the first time the Japanese army surrounded Nanjing, it was the first to break through the Zhonghua Gate, and the Japanese army was very familiar with the situation at the Zhonghua Gate, so it was normal for them to choose the same place as a breakthrough.

Concentrating such a powerful firepower, the Japanese army obviously wanted to finish the battle in one battle.

"Xiao Xia, go and invite Master Qiu over, let's study it!" Leng Feng now regrets a little and transferred the heavy artillery regiment to Jiangbei too early.

Of course, the heavy artillery regiment arrived in Jiangbei and had already played a huge role, and in the evening, Liao Sen used the heavy artillery regiment to severely beat the backbone of the Tiangu detachment, the 12th Wing, and the 12th Wing was almost wiped out.

The Tiangu detachment suffered a fiasco, Liao Sen took advantage of the victory to chase and kill, if he was not afraid that the army's battle line would be too long, and he wanted to ensure the safety of Jiangpu, he would have wanted to kill Yangzhou City in one go.

can't eat a fat man in one bite, Liao Sen's mind is still very clear, and the strength of the Japanese army in Jiangbei is still very strong.

However, this battle was indeed a rare victory in the duel between the Chinese and Japanese armies, and it was also a positional duel, which broke the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army, and the news reached Wuhan.

Lao Jiang Na was very happy, and immediately sent a commendation telegram to Qiu Qingquan and Leng Feng, and promoted Liao Sen to the rank of colonel, and also recognized Leng Feng and Qiu Qingquan's adaptation of the National Salvation Division in the capital.

Regarding the question of the number of the National Salvation Division, Lao Jiang has not yet given a clear answer, whether to directly become an independent division or be assigned to that army, I am afraid that only after the battle of Nanjing will there be a final result.

After receiving Leng Feng's invitation, Qiu Qingquan immediately got up from the bed, put on a cotton coat and came over.

After hearing Liang Dong's simple description, Qiu Qingquan's face also changed, this is obviously a rather tricky situation, the Japanese army is still gathering now, and the attack time may be not long after.

"Leng Feng, what do you think?" Qiu Qingquan is now unconsciously dependent on Leng Feng, in fact, from the beginning, most of the suggestions and work were put forward by Leng Feng, but the orders were just relayed by him.

Leng Feng already has the ability to command a large corps of battles, but it lacks fire in some aspects.

"If what Liang Dong said is true, then the 40th Brigade will be in danger." Leng Feng said, he was already thinking about countermeasures, but he hadn't thought about it yet.

"Leng Tou, Master, these are what I have seen with my own eyes, and they are absolutely true!" Liang Dong said eagerly.

"I know, no one said that you were wrong, the Japanese want to choose Zhonghua Gate as a breakthrough, then give it to him." Leng Feng gritted his teeth, and a trace flashed in his eyes.

"You mean, abandon the Zhonghua Gate position?"

"If we don't give up, then after this round of artillery fire, there will be very little left of the 40th Brigade, which is thousands of lives, and now Nanjing City is already an empty city, we don't need to sacrifice so many people for a ruined city!" Leng Feng said heavily, "Can our fortifications withstand several rounds of heavy artillery bombardment by the Japanese army?" ”

"Yes, we judge that the Japanese army is very likely to choose the Zhonghua Gate as a breakthrough, so why don't we give up the Zhonghua Gate and directly deploy our troops on the right side of the Qinhuai River, and deploy fewer troops on the left side."

"That means we're giving up on the 11th and 13th sections?"

"The number 13 is unknown, so it's better to give up." Leng Feng smiled.

Abandon?

Qiu Qingquan and Liang Dong were stunned, they didn't expect Leng Feng to make such a decision, and they actually directly gave up Yuhuatai, Zhonghua Gate, and the positions in the inner and outer cities, isn't this a big loss?

"There is a secret passage under Zhonghua Gate that leads directly to the outside of the city, and I originally planned to give this gift to the Japanese army after they entered the city, but now it should be in advance." Leng Feng said.

"You're going to plant explosives in the tunnels again?"

"That's right, a whole two tons, all of them are the most fierce, since the Japanese army chose to enter through the Zhonghua Gate, then simply let them be buried with the Zhonghua Gate!" Leng Feng's teeth were filled with murderous cold light.

"I did it once in the Tiger Cave, and I also cheated the Japanese once when I was in Guanghuamen, this is the third time, are you sure the Japanese will still be fooled?" Qiu Qingquan asked strangely, he knew Leng Feng's black history, and he especially liked to dig holes to buy explosives, and then buried people in the position together.

Because of this, the Japanese army lost 2,000 men in two consecutive battles, and this is less than two months.

There is a way that can be one, but two, not three, this third time, it is difficult to say whether the Japanese will be fooled.

"As long as they want to come in, they have to fall for it." Leng Feng smiled, the Japanese did not choose Zhonghua Gate as the main direction of attack, he didn't want to use this plan to burn jade, after all, this ancient city wall is a witness to history, it is the legacy left by the ancestors, it is a pity to destroy it like this.

The mood of the three of them was a little heavy.

However, in order to resist aggression and for the sake of the dignity and freedom of the nation and the country, some people who do not want to give up can only give up.

"Boss, Timberwolf Emergency!" Guo Weiquan knocked on the door from the outside and came in, eagerly took out an urgent message from the folder and handed it over.

"The tank squadron of the 3rd Division, the mountain artillery wing, and the cavalry of a squadron suddenly disappeared?"

I see!

It is no wonder that the Ninth Division has so many artillery pieces and combat vehicles behind Hongmao Mountain, and it turns out that the heavy equipment of the Third Division has been quietly concentrated in the direction of Zhonghua Gate, and it seems that the purpose of the Japanese army's choice of Zhonghua Gate as the main direction of attack is clear.

"Can't hesitate, the Japanese army is likely to launch an attack before dawn tomorrow, and now it's almost zero, and we only have four or five hours at most, so we must immediately quietly withdraw the main force of the 40th Brigade from the position, and according to the original street battle plan, go to the east bank of the Zhenhuai Bridge to deploy defense!" Leng Feng said.

"Okay, I agree, but when you withdraw, you must not let the Japanese army find out, and also, don't withdraw all at once, leave a small part at the front line, and withdraw from the underground secret passage at the last moment!" Qiu Qingquan added.

"I'm for it!"

"Liang Dong, there is no written order, you go back immediately to convey the order to Brigade Commander Wu, and the retreat must be in an orderly manner, and there must be no chaos." Leng Feng commanded solemnly.

"Liang Dong understands!" Liang Dong stood up, gave Leng Feng and Qiu Qingquan a military salute, and left in a hurry.

I thought that with the fortifications of the city wall, it could still be supported for a while, but I didn't expect it to be short-handed so soon, and I don't know what this street battle will look like in the end.

Leng Feng is actually still a little worried in his heart, the psychological pressure is very high, but he can't collapse at the touch of a button, then it will be troublesome.
