Although in winter, it was late in dawn, and when Leng Jie and the others broke through, it was almost six o'clock.

But the closer to dawn, the greater the danger of breaking through, because daytime is the advantage of the Japanese army, and by virtue of air supremacy, the Japanese army can detect the traces of the breakthrough troops.

What Leng Jie didn't know was that when Daniel Zhang and others broke through, they were intercepted by more than one brigade of Japanese troops not long after, and after a fierce battle, the troops were scattered.

Han Bin and Le Yiqin were also trapped and failed to join the main forces led by Daniel Zhang, Li Yu and others.

Leng Jie didn't know about this matter.

Although the troops of him and Daniel Zhang and others would eventually converge, the breakthrough route was different, and he and others broke through from the direction of General Mountain.

Seeing that it was about to dawn, Leng Jie asked his men to speed up and rush to Jiangjun Mountain as much as possible to hide their whereabouts in order to avoid the detection of Japanese aircraft.

However, not long after leaving the city of Nanjing, he found a friendly army fighting the Japanese army in a village outside the city.

This friendly army also escaped from Nanjing City, but it was not under Leng Jie's command before, but a group of people who had just escaped from the safe zone at night.

There were not many people, only two or three hundred people, but they were surrounded in the village by a squadron of devils.

If you don't save yourself from death, you definitely won't work.

And a squadron of a hundred and ten devils, for him is tantamount to an appetizer.

Taking advantage of the night, Leng Jie ordered the troops to quietly surround this Japanese army, and the battle ended in ten minutes.

There was no way, this Japanese army did not expect that they would be counter-surrounded by a Chinese army several times their size, and under the internal and external attacks of the Chinese army, this Japanese army was defeated very badly.

After saving this friendly army, Leng Jie learned that it was the gendarmerie unit of the original Nanjing garrison.

The real commander of the gendarmerie unit was Xiao Shanling, but this committed suicide and martyrdom in Xiaguan on the day of the destruction of Nanjing.

Therefore, Xiao Shanling also became the highest-ranking general and deputy commander of the lieutenant general who died in the Battle of Nanjing.

The commander of the gendarmerie is Gu Zhenglun, who has already retreated to Chongqing.

Originally, after saving this friendly army, Leng Jie was ready to hurry up, but this friendly army told them a news.

"Sir, there is a Japanese headquarters near here, and we encountered it when we broke through, and it is because of this that we are surrounded here by this Japanese army."

For the encirclement, this major did not feel ashamed, they did not have many weapons in their hands, and with low morale, it was normal that they could not fight.

"Japanese command? Where is it? Leng Jie hurriedly asked.

It doesn't matter what level of command it is, even if it's a team headquarters, it's a good target for Leng Jie.

Although his mission is to break out, if he can take the opportunity to take out a Japanese command, he doesn't mind doing things first and then breaking out.

"It's just in the Flower Temple to the east, and it's not clear what level of command it is, but there are a lot of antennas, so it's a big target." The gendarmerie major pointed to the location of the flower temple on the map.

"Can you take us there?" Leng Jie asked.

"No problem, we're all familiar with these places!" The gendarmerie unit is in the city of Nanjing, and the terrain around Nanjing is naturally very clear, and with them leading the way, there will be fewer detours.

Leng Jie immediately gathered all the soldiers in his hands, Leng Jie pointed to the east, "Brothers, in the east, there is a Japanese army headquarters. There are definitely a lot of good things there, and there may be senior officers of the Japanese army, what do you say? ”

"Sir, naturally it's a devil killer!"

"Not only kill the devils, but also rob them of everything!"

"That's right, it was the devils who beat us before, and now it's time for us to settle accounts with the devils."

Seeing that the morale was available, Leng Jie said excitedly, "That's right, it's to kill devils and grab things." Just allow them to rob us, why can't we rob them? In my opinion, there is no contradiction between killing devils and breaking through! ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Pass my orders, rest for ten minutes, check the ammunition, if you don't have weapons, pick up all the devil's weapons and use them, that's all good guys!"

Fortunately, it was not yet dawn, and Leng Jie and these people could still use the night to cover their whereabouts.

As for the previous battles, they were all trifle.

At this time, there were gunshots all around, and even the sound of fighting in the direction of Nanjing City.

For those brothers who couldn't withdraw, Leng Jie could only say sorry.

He can't bring out all the people, so he can bring out as much as he can, and he can't control the rest.

Although the gunfire in Nanjing was the most intense tonight, gunfire was also everywhere outside the city.

There were quite a few Chinese troops breaking through from the Zhonghua Gate, at least tens of thousands, and many people only knew that breaking through from the south would naturally be easy to encounter with the Japanese army.

Even in some places, the gunfire was even more intense than Leng Jie's place just now, and he didn't know which unit was fighting with the Japanese army.

。。。。。。

Flower Temple, the headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

At this time, in the division headquarters, the division commander Gu Shoufu was sitting in the war room listening to the reports of his subordinates, his face smiling for a while and serious for a while.

"Division commander, according to the report of the commander of the Niudao Brigade, there are still fierce gunfire in Nanjing, but the 23rd Wing has recaptured the Zhonghua Gate."

Chief of Staff Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo reported.

"Yo Xi, the commander of the Ushijima Brigade has done a good job. Plugging the gap of Zhonghua Gate, the army in the city is the turtle in the urn! Gu Shoufu said with a smile.

"Division commander, but there are still many armies that have broken through, and now there are gunshots in many places outside Nanjing." Shimono Kazuho hesitated.

"There are gunshots everywhere, which shows that even if the Chinese army breaks through, it is scattered and there is nothing to fear." Major General Tokutaro Sakai said disdainfully.

Perhaps specifically slapped Tokutaro Sakai in the face, Shimono Kazuho continued, "Division commander, an hour ago, the cavalry wing encountered a branch of the Shina army near the Okoba airfield. According to the Captain of the Inoki Wing, the Chinese army numbered at least 1,000 men and carried a large number of machine guns, artillery guns and submachine guns.

Half an hour earlier, the 1st Division of the 3rd Division had also encountered a sizable Chinese army near Jiangning County, estimated at about 2,000 people. ”

"The cavalry wing met the Chinese troops near the airfield? Is the airport alright? Gu Shoufu frowned.

During the day, Commander Matsui would take a plane from Shanghai to Daxiaochang Airport, and if it affected the security of the airport, he would have to be scolded.

"Don't worry, the division commander, twenty minutes ago, that branch of the army had been broken up by the cavalry wing, and the remnants had fled to the direction of Jiangning. The fighting did not affect the airport and should not affect the security of the airport. Shimono Kazuho assured.

"It doesn't affect airport security." Gu Shoufu nodded.

Just as Gu Shoufu continued to listen to the report, there was a fierce sound of gunfire outside the division headquarters!
