In a small temporary prison, Tosa Gardenia obsessively recalled Han Feng's face, "This Shina officer, smart and responsible, can resist and resist the charm, it's amazing!" If only I could marry him. ”

Han Feng quickly set off and mobilized his troops.

Yes, among the other refugees, there are no more devil spies, so you can enter the city with confidence!

However, Han Feng said that the old, weak, sick and disabled could enter the city, and the young people, all men over the age of eighteen to fifty-five, must stay unconditionally, outside the city, organize the army, and turn back to fight the enemy.

Women may join the army voluntarily and will not be strengthened, but young women who are breastfeeding without children must join the city's security militia for logistical and medical work.

Ordered, a large number of officers and soldiers preached to the refugees.

The vast majority of people are very understanding, and some refugees are enthusiastic about "Quick, boss, give us a gun, I'm willing to fight devils, devils are too hateful"

There are also some people who are not positive, not because they don't want to defeat the devil, but because they are timid and don't want to die.

These people, motivated by mobilization, quickly picked themselves up.

There are also a few people who are selfish and unwilling to join the army.

"We are ordinary people, why should we join the army to fight? I have never received a military pay. ”

"That's right, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, you soldiers are desperately fighting devils, it is your obligation, don't pull us!"

Among such people, the most well-dressed and well-dressed people were filled with righteous indignation, and some pointed at the noses of the officers and soldiers and scolded them.

The officers and soldiers were furious: "Most of us are also ordinary people!" There was no military pay. ”

"The War of Resistance doesn't distinguish between you and me, the devils are all trying to kill you, and you still don't realize it?"

Not to mention, these people, at least dozens of them, are really stubborn, not only do they not join the army, but they also spread failed remarks, complaining that it was because of the military and civilian resistance in Jinling City that they angered the Japanese army and were massacred!

"If you are reckless, let the Oriental soldiers anger the people, and you will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"We are the elite of society, we can't be Qiu Ba! Even if you are dead, it will not be our turn. ”

I'm sorry, this kind of scumbag makes Han Feng laugh angrily.

He personally walked over and inquired about the situation, and when he saw it, there were servants and servants from rich and noble families, literate people, petty bourgeoisie professors, and rich turtle owners, and more people who had fled from Jinling in advance and hid in the countryside.

Han Feng asked the gang to come out. "Let's have a good debate! See who makes sense! ”

The gang came out with confidence.

shouted one after another, gossiping, and all kinds of philistine faces.

"I am a well-known lawyer, I know the law, you can't force us to join the army, even if the country dies, the spirit of the law can't be tarnished!"

"I am a literary scholar, romantic and romantic, and the stall literature I wrote has captured the hearts of countless girls! I'm an elite, all worthwhile, can't die! ”

"I am a lecturer and professor, and I hate the concept of the state and the nation, it is too narrow, and it is against human nature to sacrifice my life for this."

There are more than 150 people in total.

Han Feng waited for them to be arrogant for a while, and smiled, "Come on, send these people to the east, and let them talk to the Japanese army about the spirit of the law, about the wind and snow, and about human nature!" ”

These people immediately wilted, cried and shouted, kowtowed, and made trouble, but they were unwilling to take a step.

Han Feng ordered, "At a critical moment, these people disturb the morale of the army and lie down heresies, are they tolerable or unbearable?" Shoot them all for collaborating with the enemy! ”

The officers and soldiers were already furious, and immediately rushed forward, grabbed these scumbags, and chopped off the dog's head with knives at the edge of the nearby moat.

The onlookers applauded.

Some lawyers and literary practitioners, journalists, professors and others also applauded, praised the Han Feng army, and punished them well.

By mobilization and murderous spirit, a new army was quickly formed.

Not long after, to the east of the city, an army of more than 27,000 men had been formed!

These people, divided into two parts, one part, entered the city to replace the experienced veterans, and the other part, as a reserve force to participate in the battle.

Han Feng mobilized 10,000 troops from the city defense, deployed more than 13,000 recruits outside the city, and let Zhao Chongguo serve as the commander of the city defense garrison, and let Fan Yuyang serve as the chief of staff to assist in the defense of the city.

Ye Zheng, Li Tecong, Du Fenglie, and the three of them each led the veteran soldiers and subordinates to set off.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of that day, more than 20,000 people of the Eastern Expeditionary Army began to move.

Ye Zheng was on the left flank, Li Tecong was on the right flank, Du Fenglie was in the middle, and Han Feng supervised the strategic reserve forces. Let's go!

The vanguard troops, the sharp knife reconnaissance troops, set off first, and then the brigade advanced.

The troops of the Eastern Expedition were all Japanese weapons and equipment, and the officers and men were highly motivated.

Those who have just joined the army, especially the refugees whose homes have been burned down, hate the devil very much.

The devils were in that area, burning, killing, looting, abusing women, and doing all kinds of evil, making the people gnash their teeth.

Now, with the support of the army, a strong army, and weapons, these recruits are still the clothes of the people, but their mood and fighting spirit have long been different.

The Japanese troops on the front line were not willing to be defeated, and held on to many areas, some villages, some of the fortifications of the original Chinese River Defense Army along the Yangtze River, and shot at the Chinese army.

The Chinese army, with a large number of recruits and lack of training, was resolute and brave, and fought to the death against the enemy.

Gunshots, cannons, explosions, loud and sound.

The battle of the focus took place in the foothills of the Bauhinia Mountains.

Purple Mountain, outside the Taiping Gate, was originally a strategic place to defend the city of Jinling, but now it has become an obstacle for the Japanese army to block the advance of the Chinese army.

Here, from a high position, there are a large number of fortifications built by the Chinese army during the defensive war, as well as artillery positions built before the war.

Here, the Japanese set up artillery fire and constantly bombarded and suppressed the west.

The Chinese troops, in accordance with Han Feng's orders, quickly interspersed and passed through.

They routed small groups of Japanese troops guarding and patrolling the plains, broke the defensive lines set up by the Japanese in some places, and rushed from the two flanks of the Purple Mountain to the east.

Leave a small number of troops behind and surround the Purple Mountain.

Based on the reconnaissance and interrogation of enemy agents, as well as the excellent visual perspective reconnaissance of the scene, Han Feng was convinced that on the Purple Mountain, there were the strength of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, an artillery squadron.

The total strength is more than 1,000 people.

Therefore, the troops of the middle route, sending a regiment of troops, blocked the mountain pass, built fortifications, dug trenches, blocked the enemy's breakthrough, and cut off the enemy's communications.

Surround but not fight.

The first three corps, mainly large-scale attacks, expelling and deterring attacks, were to march as quickly as possible to drive out the enemy.

Because the enemy is in the eastern part of the country, dozens of miles to the east, wantonly burning, killing, looting, and harming the Chinese people, our people, are really in dire straits.

It is necessary to fight the enemy as fast as possible, rescue them.

As for the strong strongholds, besiege but not attack, waiting for the moment.

The Crusade Army is making rapid progress!
