The picture pulls to Yangzhou City.

Yang Jing was originally dreaming of something inappropriate for children, but he was suddenly woken up by the communication soldier on duty.

When he learned the specific situation, he couldn't help but change color and said, "What? Nanjing is in an emergency? The Japanese devils went directly up the Shuojiang River on the Navy warship and landed from the Shimonoseki wharf? ”

Yang Jing lifted the warm futon, a carp stiffened, and sat up directly from the bed.

He had already realized the gravity of the situation, and he didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he put on his pants and ran out in a hurry.

And said to the communication soldiers who came to report: "Hurry up and inform the chief of staff of them, and quickly come to the regiment headquarters to gather!" ”

The signal soldier replied: "It has been notified! ”

At the same time, the entire Tiger Regiment battalion also sounded a hurried wake-up whistle.

One by one, the torches were lit, and the entire Tiger Ben Regiment camp was illuminated as if it were daylight.

Because when the Tiger Regiment was not fighting, it had to practice in the morning every day, so when the whistle sounded, the soldiers in the barracks turned over and got up as fast as they could.

It's just that to their surprise, today's wake-up post is obviously much hasteer, and it doesn't seem to be like a morning exercise assembly post, but more like a pre-war assembly post.

Soon, their suspicions were confirmed.

When the soldiers were fully armed and hurried to the training school.

Yang Jing, the regimental seat, Ma Haifeng, the chief of staff, and the commanders of each battalion had already stood on the high platform in front of them and waited for a long time.

Through the reflection of the light of the torches, these soldiers found that the commanders in front of them seemed to have a thick and solemn look on their faces.

So, these soldiers also became nervous.

After everyone had basically arrived, Yang Jing's sharp eyes looked around and said abruptly: "Brothers, according to a call from the garrison headquarters, a Japanese army unit smuggled across the Yangtze River waterway last night with the assistance of the naval fleet.

And at about 5 o'clock this morning, he landed at Xiaguan Wharf, and is now launching a fierce attack on the lower gate of Nanjing.

Since the main force of the garrison was deployed in the outer defense line to defend against the enemy, the city of Nanjing was extremely empty, and the headquarters ordered our department to immediately wave troops to help! ”

"The Tiger Ben team is invincible!"

"Kill, kill, kill! ——”

On the school ground, the roars of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment like wild beasts suddenly sounded.

Yang Jing raised his hand, interrupted everyone's roar, and continued: "Nanjing is in danger today, and our department must wave the army back to help as quickly as possible!"

Now, I order you to immediately return to Nanjing with me! ”

"The Tiger Ben team is invincible!"

"Kill, kill, kill! ——”

All the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment raised their arms and shouted, answering with their own roars.

Since a big war could break out at any time, the Tiger Ben Regiment has always been in a state of combat readiness.

There is little need to prepare for it, and it can be thrown into battle at any time.

The situation was urgent, and Yang Jing didn't have time to make too detailed preparations, and after completely boosting the morale of the soldiers, he just gave a brief explanation and ordered the chief of staff Ma Haifeng to lead the reserve battalion to stay in Yangzhou City.

Then he led his troops straight to Nanjing.

Yang Jing knew that in order to deal with the Japanese naval fleet, it was necessary to rely on heavy artillery, otherwise no amount of infantry would be enough to pose a threat to it.

So, he transferred back almost the entire artillery battalion's field artillery.

All towed by military trucks.

In order to ensure the speed of travel, there were not even infantry in the carriage.

In addition to the cavalry company, the guard company, the reconnaissance company, and the sharpshooter company as the vanguard, the war horse, the side three-wheeler, and some military vehicles are used to travel.

The soldiers of the rest of the battalions marched on foot.

It must be worth mentioning that before the pull-out, Yang Jing suddenly had an idea and asked the soldiers to bring their inflatable daughters-in-law.

In this case, it can be used to cross the river.

……

The picture pulls back to Nanjing.

Just when Song Yinguo and Luo Youqing led their troops to leave the headquarters and rushed to Xiarumen.

In the city of Nanjing, a group of disguised devil agents also carried submachine guns and pistols, and quietly approached the garrison headquarters in the night.

"Sir, it seems that most of the guards of the China Army have been transferred! Now their headquarters should have less than a company of troops left. A ghost agent in charge of surveillance rushed over and said to the leader of the ghost agents.

"Yo Si! These Chinese troops should have gone to support Xiaguan and resist the surprise attack of the imperial army! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us! ”

The leader of the devil agent had a murderous flash in his eyes, and said proudly: "Remember, you must fight quickly later!" In particular, after breaking through the headquarters of the Chinese army, it is necessary to quickly occupy its communication room and take control of their radio station!

Then send electricity to the troops on their front line and shake their military morale! ”

"Hello!"

A group of devil agents bowed their heads and agreed, and immediately, under the guidance of the leader of the devil agents, shuttled through some alleys not far from the garrison headquarters, and approached in concealment.

……

Purple Mountain.

The teaching corps closest to Nanjing City had already heard the sound of explosions coming from Nanjing City.

It's just that because the sky hasn't yet dawned and he hasn't figured out what happened, Gui Shuan, who hurriedly got up from the bed, really didn't dare to act without permission, and he didn't rush to respond.

After receiving the telegram order from the headquarters, Gui Shuzhen was taken aback, he had already thought of the seriousness of the situation, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, and immediately said to several adjutants around him: "It's broken!" The Japanese army has landed from the Shimonoseki pier!

Passing on my order, all troops immediately abandon the Purple Mountain position and quickly return to Nanjing! ”

Under Gui Shuzhen's urgent order, all departments of the teaching corps acted quickly and rushed to Nanjing to return to help as soon as possible.

On the other hand, the 87th Division and the 88th Division also received urgent telegrams from the garrison headquarters, and responded as soon as possible, dispatching most of the elite troops to return to Nanjing.

However, because their location was much farther away from the Purple Mountain, they fell behind the teaching team.

And at this moment, the group of devil agents had already quietly touched the outside of the compound where the garrison headquarters was located.

"Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Kill the chicken! Kill the chicken and give! ”

With the order of the leader of the devil agents, nearly a hundred elite devil agents immediately launched a surprise attack on the garrison headquarters compound.

At this time, there were only four guards standing guard outside the headquarters compound, plus inside the courtyard, although there was a company of garrison troops left.

However, these garrisons were not gathered in one place.

Therefore, in terms of the strength of the bureau [Literature Museum fo] department, the garrison army is completely at an absolute disadvantage.

"Da Da Da!"

"Tubu! ——”

After the several devil agents led by them rushed out of the alley, they shot four guards standing guard at the gate with a short shot.

Immediately afterward, a group of devil agents rushed up and stormed the headquarters compound.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack! ——”

The guards in the courtyard were taken aback, and they fell down one after another.

The next moment, they scattered one after another, and relying on the rockery in the courtyard, the pavilions and pillars hurriedly resisted.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, and dense gunfire rang out.

"What's the situation?"

Tang Mengxiao, Liu Tiefu, and the senior staff officers of the garrison headquarters were all shocked to the extreme.

Under Tang Mengxiao's order, a guard platoon commander risked being killed by the Japanese army, and forced himself to leave the bunker and retreat into the war room.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Tang Mengxiao asked.

"Report sir, there's a bunch of devil spies! They're dressed in civilian clothes and they've already punched in!

This group of enemy troops is well-armed and well-trained, and for the sake of safety, you better evacuate quickly, sir! ”

As the guard platoon commander spoke, several bullets suddenly 'swished' in from the window not far away.

An unfortunate combat staff officer was unfortunately shot, and after screaming, he fell down.

This made Tang Mengxiao, who was already anxious, even more frightened, and cold sweat flowed out of his forehead at once.

He turned his head to look around, and finally locked his eyes on a wall behind the war room, and immediately shouted to the guard platoon commander: "Bring a few grenades, you lead people to block the devil!" ”

"Yes!" The guard platoon commander suddenly agreed, and immediately took off two grenades from his body and handed them to Tang Mengxiao.

"Brother Tiefu, you guys stay out of the way!"

Tang Mengxiao asked Liu Tiefu and the others to dodge, while he himself stacked the grenades under the corner of the wall, and immediately dodged behind a solid wood desk after pulling them off.

A few seconds later, only a loud 'boom' was heard, and the entire headquarters was suddenly blown up in smoke and dust.

Tang Mengxiao didn't care too much, and after shaking off the dust above his head, he immediately took the lead and rushed over, and kicked a hole about one meter in diameter with his feet to kick out the crumbling wall that had been blown up.

"Brother Tiefu, quick, let's withdraw from here!" Tang Mengxiao waved his hand to Liu Tiefu and the others, and immediately took the lead in drilling over.

After Liu Tiefu and several senior staff officers followed out, they suddenly stopped Tang Mengxiao and said, "Meng Xiaogong, it's not good!" We still have a lot of documents that have not been processed in the headquarters, and there are still codebooks in the confidential room that have not been destroyed! ”

Tang Mengxiao said: "Brother Tiefu, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood!" It's all this time, where can you take care of so much? This group of little devils obviously came prepared, and after the guard regiment followed Brother You Qing to rush to the door, there were only such a small number of troops left in the headquarters, and they were obviously not the opponents of this group of devils.

So, let's run for our lives first! ”

Liu Tiefu said a little unwillingly: "But, Meng Xiaogong, once the secret telegram falls into the hands of the Japanese army, the consequences will be unimaginable!" If the Japanese army uses our radio station to generate electricity to the front line, then the entire front line will be completely destroyed! ”

"Brother, when is it now? You don't think about holding Nanjing, do you? Withdraw, brother! No matter how late it is, the little devil will come in! After speaking, Tang Mengxiao took the lead in fleeing for his life, and abandoned all the bold words he had said before, vowing to live and die with Nanjing.

With this master taking the lead, the last bit of responsibility in Liu Tiefu's heart was also dispelled without a trace, and he fled desperately.

Inside the garrison headquarters.

Not long after Tang Mengxiao and the others fled, the soldiers who stayed behind to resist were severely killed and injured by the grenades thrown by the devils.

Soon, the entire headquarters fell into the hands of the devil agents.

The communications soldiers in the confidential room didn't even have a chance to escape, so they were captured alive by this group of devil agents.

Along with the secret books and a large number of radio stations and other communication equipment that could be destroyed in the future, they were all seized by these devil agents.

Wearing a black felt hat and dressed in a black suit, the leader of the devil agents rushed in with a pistol in his hand.

Subsequently, the leader of the devil agents immediately followed the original plan, first ordered the captured communications soldiers to send an urgent telegram to the forward troops of the garrison, informing them that Nanjing had been attacked, and asking them to quickly retreat and return to Nanjing.

Finally, in the form of a telegram in clear code, he publicized to the outside world that the Japanese army had occupied Nanjing, further disintegrating and shaking the morale and morale of the resistance forces in the garrison theater.

I have to say that the little devil's move is very sinister.

And their plot did succeed.

After learning that Nanjing had been attacked and that the headquarters had been captured and occupied by the Japanese army, the front-line troops were suddenly in turmoil.

They didn't even have time to deploy a detailed retreat plan, so they panicked and retreated in the direction of Nanjing.

The insidious and cunning little devil certainly won't give up this great opportunity.

After receiving the news, they immediately showed their hideous and bloodthirsty fangs.

Under the leadership of the commanders of the troops, an unprecedented frenzied pursuit of the garrison was launched.

The officers and men of the various units, who no longer had the heart to fight, suddenly turned from retreat to rout, and were killed by the Japanese army to the point of rivers of blood and corpses all over the field.

The situation in Nanjing is not optimistic.

Song Yinguo and Luo Youqing led their troops to march in the direction of Xiarumen, and encountered military police patrolling to maintain law and order along the way.

At this time, Nakamura Kazuki, Tsuda Tatsuhiko and others had already led more than 6,000 devil elites to land, and they were extremely smooth, and they easily occupied all the areas outside Shimonoseki Wharf and Shimomon City.

At this time, under the cover of the powerful fire of the naval guns, they launched an attack on the lower gate.

The Japanese army had 6,000 men, and all of them were elite.

Although there were about 2,000 garrisons at Shimomen and Shimonoseki Wharf, more than half of the garrison suffered casualties under the bombardment of Japanese naval guns alone.

Officers at all levels suffered heavy casualties, and basically all units were crippled.

At this time, the morale of the army was already in turmoil.

In the end, with the efforts of a colonel officer, Kankan gathered more than 400 people and stubbornly guarded the city wall of Xiarumen.

As the Japanese naval artillery fire began to extend, this part of the defenders was able to emerge and launch a fire block against the devil soldiers who had already swarmed outside the city.

"Brethren, behind us is the city of Nanjing! Don't let the little devils pass! Fight with them! The colonel's officer raised his pistol and opened fire as he pulled his throat to give the order.

More than 400 defenders resisted with all their might, shooting bullets at the devils under the city.

However, the number of devils is too many, and the number of troops is more than 10 times that of them.

Marksmanship is also far superior to theirs.

Soon, the swarming devil soldiers also began to fire back.

With a rain of bullets that were denser than the defenders, they poured down on the walls.
