The entire guard platoon was divided into three, like the formation of a patrol detachment of the Japanese army. In front and behind the camouflage team, there are scouts hiding in the shadows to be vigilant, alert to the surrounding situation, so that the camouflage team can be notified in time.

Looking at the ruins of the battlefield that appear from time to time, Hu Biao, who is walking in the team, can see to some extent that these ruins are the wounds left by the war. Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, ushered in another military disaster this time, and many ancient ruins will no longer exist.

When Hu Biao got in touch with the military commanders in the city, Gui Tanzhen, who was ready to evacuate at any time, also received a report from the military commanders. Knowing that Hu Biao and his entourage really came, Gui Shuzhen was also a little surprised.

Staring at the combat map on the table, Gui Shuzhen said with a little confusion: "At this moment, the outer battlefields have all fallen, and it seems that this new lieutenant colonel is really not easy to avoid the many obstacles of the Japanese army and sneak into Jinling!" ”

Listening to Gui Canzhen's words, the adjutant next to him also smiled and said, "General, the person who can make the commission and Director Dai appreciate it so much must still have some ability." It's just that they are fighting in small detachments, and it is naturally easier to hide their whereabouts than us.

If you lead thousands of large troops to break through, it will definitely be impossible to escape the blockade of the little devils. Once discovered by the little devils, if you mobilize heavy troops to chase and intercept you, you don't have much hope of successfully breaking through! ”

"That's better than cannibalism! You should have heard about Rujiangmen, right? Such an unorganized retreat is simply a disgrace for the military. Now, on the contrary, I don't think a head-on breakout is necessarily an opportunity. ”

As the garrison headquarters issued the order to retreat, many leading generals chose to escape from Jinling as soon as possible when they received the order. Except for a small number of escort troops, most of the front-line troops under their command were not notified.

When this news reaches the ears of the officers and men of the front-line combat units, what will be the feeling in the hearts of these officers and soldiers of the War of Resistance who have been struggling to support them? When a large number of troops frantically poured into the direction of Rujiangmen, there was a stampede and a shootout.

Even many ordinary people, after learning that Jinling could not be defended, also joined the fleeing team. As the capital of the Republic of China, there are naturally a lot of people living in Jinling City, and the number of so many people evacuated can be imagined.

The troops guarding the Rujiang Gate received an order to let the governor's headquarters leave first. But when the news spread, the officers and soldiers of the anti-Japanese war troops who rushed to hear the news were already angry that the commander had abandoned them, and they were forbidden to leave the city from this gate, and soon lost their minds.

As a result, it was clear that the troops guarding the gates engaged in an exchange of fire with the troops who had withdrawn from the front line. If it weren't for Gui Shuzhen receiving the news and sending the guard troops to intervene in time, I am afraid that Rujiangmen would already be bleeding at this moment.

Thinking of this, Gui Shu was really glad that he stayed and did not order the troops to organize a retreat on their own. Otherwise, what happened earlier could have happened to the troops of the Teaching Corps.

What an ironic joke that he did not die on the battlefield, but fell at the guns of his own people!

Regarding what happened in Jinling City, Hu Biao naturally did not know. Walking on the battlefield in ruins, Hu Biao not only needs to watch out for Japanese patrols, but also has to worry about the possible hidden defenders of the city.

When the guard sentry found the Japanese patrol, Hu Biao said unexpectedly: "Hide on the spot and let them go!" ”

"Battalion commander, there is only one squad, don't you kill them?"

"Our mission this time is to infiltrate Jinling City as soon as possible. If we really exchange fire with the little devils on the periphery and attract a large army of the little devils nearby, our mission may fail. If you want to fight devils, there are many opportunities after entering the city, and you are hidden! ”

As a commander, Hu Biao naturally wanted to kill any little devils who appeared in sight. But Hu Biao must be clear about what the main task of this trip to Jinling is. During his time in the city, he didn't want to get into any trouble.

With the help of the ruins of the battlefield next to it, the entire guard platoon quickly became hidden. After the Japanese patrol detachment left, the group continued to march towards Jinling City until they reached the area where the liaison personnel of the military command were located.

After signaling to Xu Sandao beside him, Xu Sandao, who was carrying a flashlight, stood on the street that was in ruins, took out a flashlight and flashed it on the street, then turned off the flashlight, and repeated this action twice.

When the contact signal was sent, Hu Biao had already ordered the guard platoon around him to deploy a triangular defensive position near the street. Even if he encountered an ambush, Hu Biao could lead his troops to rush into Jinling City not far away in the shortest possible time.

Soon after the contact signal was issued, Hu Biao soon saw the glow of a flashlight coming from an abandoned building in front of him. Confirming the signal undoubtedly, Hu Biao quickly said: "Sandao, I'll go over to connect with them, and you will take people to make a detour from both sides!" ”

"Understood!"

After what happened in Runzhou City before, Hu Biao would also be extra cautious when contacting the military commanders. With Zhao Xian, who was always by his side, and Hu Biao, who only had a few soldiers by his side, he quickly walked towards the small building in front.

During the march, Xu Sandao and Hu Minyi each led a team of soldiers and marched in a roundabout way from both sides of the street. Once an ambush is discovered, the two will warn in advance to ensure Hu Biao's safety. This kind of caution is also very necessary in the battlefield.

Fortunately, this time, there was finally no situation that Hu Biao was worried about. Seeing the appearance of Hu Biao, who was dressed as a little devil, the liaison officer of the military command who came to answer him was also very surprised: "Chief Hu, I really didn't expect you to wear such a dress!" ”

"Devil skin, sometimes it's better to use! You can know what my last name is, it seems that your level is not low, right? ”

"Chen Gongshu, who was lowly and was added to the director of the Jinling Left-behind Division of the Military Command. Before Chief Hu came, the bureau had an explanation, let me entertain Chief Hu and his entourage! By the way, Sir Hu, I don't know if that is Lieutenant Zhao Xian? ”

"Zhao Xian, it seems that you have also been promoted and become a lieutenant! Congratulations! ”

patted Zhao Xian, who was silent, and Hu Biao didn't pay much attention to the compliment of the military commander in front of him. It is not difficult to hear from the other party's words that Chen Gongshu is so polite to him, and it is more for the sake of Dai Li's explanation.

After the safety meeting, Hu Biao also signaled: "It's not safe here, let's go into the city if you have something to say!" Pillars, call out the brothers. Wait until you want to enter the city, this skin is inconvenient, change your clothes and then enter the city! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Tian Tiezhu, who was standing beside Hu Biao, put his fingers in his mouth and whistled. It didn't take long for the military commanders who came to meet Hu Biao to see the soldiers of the guard platoon coming out of the ruins one after another.

Looking at these guards platoon soldiers who came out from the front and back, Chen Gongshu also said with admiration: "Chief Hu, your subordinates seem to be elites!" With such a group of subordinates, it's no wonder that the little devils who can fight are so embarrassed. ”

"Director Chen, that's so polite! Three knives, change clothes! ”

"Yes!"

Xu Sandao and others, who received the order, successively took off the combat backpack they were carrying on their backs and took out the spare national army uniforms from the backpack. Hu Biao, who also changed his clothes, was still wearing the lieutenant military uniform brought from Shanghai.

Just when Chen Gongshu handed over the lieutenant colonel's epaulettes, Hu Biao shook his head and said, "I won't change this!" On the battlefield, changing such a lieutenant colonel's epaulette can easily become a live target for little devils. Let's talk about it when we get into town! ”

After listening to Hu Biao's explanation, Chen Gongshu didn't feel any surprises, but felt that Hu Biao was a very straightforward and cautious person. Knowing that the joint was indeed unsafe, the group quickly walked towards the area controlled by the national army.

When he went to the city that had not yet fallen, listening to the sound of gunfire not far away, Hu Biao also asked at the right time: "There are troops fighting with the little devils over there, right?" Can you tell me, is that the troop? ”

"That is the direction of the Purple Mountain, and the troops responsible for defending there are none other than the Third Brigade of General Gui's Teaching Corps. If it hadn't been for the urgent telegram sent by the bureau earlier, I am afraid that General Gui, like other generals, would have retreated in the direction of Xiaguan a long time ago! ”

"Ran away monk, ran away to the temple? Escaped today, what about tomorrow? So, people in the city should be panicking, right? ”

Facing Hu Biao's inquiry, Chen Gongshu also smiled bitterly: "Indeed! Fortunately, General Gui took out the letter of appointment issued by the commission, and many troops had been gathered. It's just that the front-line troops are in rout, and the Japanese army is also advancing in great strides, and the situation is urgent! ”

"Don't worry! On the way to the early morning, I asked the troops to do a rough reconnaissance. The little devil must know the situation in the city, and also know that a large number of troops defending the city are fleeing in the direction of Xiaguan. The peripheral troops, I am afraid that a large part of them will rush over there.

As long as you find the right time, it shouldn't be difficult to tear a hole from the front. What's more, with your military commander's intelligence detection ability, you should know that the artillery power of the little devils has been insufficient recently, right? ”

"This is also thanks to Chief Hu's strange plan to destroy the supply of the little devil army. In recent days, the Japanese artillery strike force has indeed weakened considerably. Otherwise, the troops guarding the Purple Mountain would have been unable to hold out for a long time. ”

"Good! Lao Fu will take me to see General Gui first, and then I will take someone to the Purple Mountain to have a look. There are brother troops who are fighting bloody battles, and it is somewhat unreasonable not to help the field. When you come to Jinling this time, you have to toss it around! ”

Listening to what Hu Biao said, Chen Gongshu didn't know how to answer. From Hu Biao's tone, it is not difficult to hear that he is a warmonger. It's too late for others to hide, but Hu Biao seems very interested.

But Chen Gongshu didn't know that Hu Biao, who entered Jinling this time, had to find out the weak points of the Japanese army on the periphery in the shortest possible time. If you want to attract the Japanese troops outside the city to one place, you can only make a big disturbance in one place.

Since the Japanese army is still attacking the Purple Mountain position where the teaching corps is stationed at this moment, there must be many little devils who are responsible for the attack there. If you can lead a force and launch a surprise attack from behind enemy lines, it will inevitably attract the attention of the little devils.

Once the little devils draw troops from other areas to reinforce them, the encirclement that the Japanese army has pulled up on the periphery is very likely to be torn open. As long as this opening is found and controlled, the defenders will be able to fight their way out of the siege.

When the large army breaks out of the encirclement, the Japanese army wants to block this pass, but I am afraid that it is not very possible. In the final analysis, there are a lot of troops sent by the little devils to the Jinling battlefield, and if they can be assigned to such a large battlefield area, there will inevitably be insufficient troops in some places!
