Somewhere east of Nanjing, the headquarters of the Japanese Army Shanghai Dispatch Army.

Early in the morning, Hatohiko Asakanomiya got up early, and then came to the courtyard to practice kendo, and soon sweated profusely.

Soon, Mamoru Iinuma came to the courtyard and saw Hatohiko Asakanomiya who was practicing kendo, so he bowed and saluted, "Your Royal Highness." ”

"Iinuma-kun, what's the matter?" Hatohiko put down the wooden sword in his hand and smiled.

"Your Royal Highness, there was a call from the Front Army Headquarters just now. Commander Matsui plans to fly directly from Suzhou Airport to Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport tomorrow, and then hold a grand entrance ceremony. Mamoru Iinuma hurriedly said.

"Entrance ceremony? Isn't it too much of a hurry? What happened to the Shina army in the city? Is it finished? Hatohiko frowned.

Mamoru Iinuma explained with some embarrassment, "Your Royal Highness, not yet. According to the information from the 6th Division, Xinjiekou is still in the hands of the remnants of the soldiers of that branch. ”

"Nani? What is Shiro Inaba doing? A small position, and his Sixth Division can't take it for a few days? This is an elite unit that is known as the second division of the Imperial Standing Division, and it can't even take the Xinjiekou that the remnants of the army are holding onto? ”

Thinking of this, Hatohiko Asaka was a little dissatisfied.

In fact, Mamoru Iinuma wanted to complain very much, the combat effectiveness of the Ninth Division was not bad, but the result was still heavy casualties in the battle between the tax police regiment and the teaching corps of the Chinese army, and even the commander of the major general's brigade hung one.

"It is said that many Chinese soldiers escaped from the security zone, resulting in an increase in the number of Chinese troops in Xinjiekou. Moreover, according to the brigade commander of the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division, Major General Ushijima Mitsuru, the resisting Chinese army used the sewer system of Nanjing, and the imperial army did not know much about the sewer system of Nanjing, so there was no way to encircle and suppress it. Mamoru Iinuma said truthfully.

"Sewer system? Does Nanjing have a complete sewer? This time it was the turn of Hatohiko Asakanomiya to be puzzled.

"Hey!" Mamoru Iinuma nodded, "It is reported that the Nanjing Municipal Government of Shina completed the sewer renovation work in the Seongnam area in Showa 11, and the Seongnam area has a completed sewer system. ”

"Yaga, what did the secret service do before? Didn't even find out about such an important matter? Hatohiko was a little angry, "Go and call Harada Kumayoshi to this king." ”

"Hey!"

Just as Mamoru Iinuma was about to leave, a Nakasa hurriedly ran in, saluted Hatohiko of Asakanomiya and hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." A telegram was sent from the aviation unit that a fighter plane had appeared over Nanjing. ”

"The people of China have the ability to dispatch fighter planes for air strikes?" Mamoru Iinuma was taken aback.

Nakasa hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Shina fighter is not an air raid。。。。。 ”

"Not an air raid?" Hatohiko Asakanomiya interrupted, "Tell the aviation unit to shoot down the fighter plane of the Shina people, and report on this little thing." ”

"Hey!"

Before this Zhongzuo could leave, another Shaozuo ran in, "Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff." The 16th Division sent a telegram stating that Major General Sasaki, commander of the 30th Brigade, had been assassinated at the entrance of the brigade department 20 minutes earlier and had died. Another secret service, Major General Kumayoshi Harada, was injured and is currently being rescued, and his life and death are unknown. ”

"Nani?" Hatohiko Asakamiya looked surprised.

Mamoru Iinuma suddenly thought of something, and his face changed greatly, "Your Royal Highness, it may be a conspiracy." Major General Sasaki's brigade is the main force in the blockade of the security zone! ”

"Yaga!" Hatohiko scolded.

"Your Royal Highness, what about tomorrow's entrance to the city?" Mamoru Iinuma hesitated.

"The plan will remain unchanged for the time being, tell Tani Toshio and Shiro Inaba to do everything possible to eliminate the threat from the city. In addition, let the 9th Division support from the side! Hatohiko said sharply.

"Hey!"

The news that Sasaki and Harada Kumayoshi, two major generals of the Japanese army, one was assassinated and the other was unknown was spread among the high-level of the Japanese army, but the Chinese soldiers and civilians and foreigners in Nanjing City did not know.

As for the radio broadcasting system in the Central News Agency building, the wires were cut and the broadcasting could not continue, so it died without a problem.

However, there is one thing that everyone in Nanjing City knows, that is, two Chinese fighter planes appeared in the sky, and they were scattering leaflets on a large scale.

"Sir, what do the people of the Aviation Committee think? At this time, send two fighter planes to drop leaflets? ”

Seeing the leaflets flying all over the sky after the fighter planes in the sky, Wang Guangming was also a little puzzled.

"How do I know? Take off this skin, don't wait for your own people to accidentally hurt you. Looking at those leaflets, Leng Jie said while taking off his Japanese military uniform.

"Okay!" Wang Guangming nodded.

To be honest, he didn't understand what the two planes were doing at this time? I don't know that the Dajiaochang airfield has been occupied by the Japanese army, and there are already Japanese fighters stationed?

However, doubts are doubts, but Leng Jie still hurried back to Xinjiekou.

At this time, the battle in Xinjiekou was still continuing, but it was even more miserable than before Leng Jie left.

It can be said that there is not a single intact building in the entire Xinjiekou, and several streets are full of corpses of Chinese and Japanese soldiers.

This is a meat grinder, the Japanese army is determined to occupy this place, and the Chinese army is determined to hold on.

"Captain Leng, you're back!"

Seeing Leng Jie return safely, Guo Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

If Leng Jie didn't come back, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

Not to mention the fierceness of the Japanese attack, as well as the command of those armies, are big problems.

"Just went and solved two people." Leng Jie said casually.

"Who?"

"The commander of the 30th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Sasaki Toichi, and a major general whose name is unknown. Not surprisingly, Sasaki should be dead! ”

"Another major general died?"

Guo Qi was stunned, this is the second major general who died in the hands of Leng Jie? Whether it is true or not, he has no time to confirm, he still has more important things to discuss with Leng Jie.

As he spoke, Guo Qi took out a red leaflet and handed it to Leng Jie, "Commander Leng, look at this, Wuhan let the plane drop it!" ”

Leng Jie knew that there were flyers, but the plane didn't drop them on his head, so he didn't pick up the flyers.

He took the leaflet curiously, and when he saw the content on the leaflet, he was also stunned, "The chairman asked us to stick to it?" ”

The content of the leaflet was basically to ask the troops in the security zone to take up arms and resist, so that they could continue to hold on to Nanjing.

"What now? We're going to break out tonight! Guo Qi said in a deep voice.

"The breakout plan remains the same, and the leaflet is just a suggestion, not a formal order. At least we didn't receive an order to continue resisting, and after holding on for so many days, we should also withdraw, and if we continue fighting, everyone will have to answer here.

After all, the original intention of our resistance was to leave Nanjing with our brothers, not to defend Nanjing. Relying on us, we can't hold it at all! ”

"What about the contents of the flyer?" Guo Qi hesitated.

"Regardless of him, maybe this is an opportunity." Leng Jie looked at the safety zone and said.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Oh no, the Japanese planes are coming, heading for our fighters!" ”
