Seeing the collapse of the building under the heavy artillery, Hu Biao, who stayed in the presidential palace, was very worried about the safety of Xu Sandao and others. But he also knew that this time would not help in the past, and no one dared to approach the area during the shelling.

Fortunately, this time it was set up in advance to block the tactics, so even if the Japanese troops entering the city broke through the Zhijie defense area, they still needed to pass through more blocks of houses in front of the presidential palace. In that commercial block, Hu Biao still made a lot of arrangements.

Unless the Japanese army in charge of the siege of the city is really willing to consume enough artillery shells to blow up all the surrounding areas of the presidential palace into ruins. Otherwise, the buildings near the presidential palace will become a position used by Hu Biao to block the Japanese army and delay the Japanese army's attack.

When the Japanese army advanced to the front of the presidential palace, it is believed that the Japanese troops responsible for entering the city should have paid a lot of casualties. And one of the big reasons why Hu Biao led his troops to stay this time was to severely damage a certain part of the Japanese army besieging Jinling.

The temporary decision to let Liu Guotong lead the rest of the Third Brigade and Fifth Regiment to break through at night was more due to the information provided by the military commander. As the Japanese army took over Jinling from several other directions, more and more Japanese troops would attack from the flanks in the future.

With only this little force in Hu Biao's hands, he is simply unable to defend too large an area. This also means that the defensive area where the military academy is located must be selectively abandoned, concentrate the forces in hand, and stubbornly defend the presidential palace with the most fortifications.

Even many of the left-behind troops who were resting in the barracks at the moment would never have imagined that in the garden area of the presidential palace, Hu Biao also deployed an air defense platoon. The collected anti-aircraft artillery was all laid out there by Hu Biao.

In addition, around the presidential palace, Hu Biao also hid a number of anti-aircraft guns, plus more than a dozen mountain guns that have never been used, which will become a sharp weapon for Hu Biao to block the attack, and make the attacking Japanese army pay a heavy price.

After talking about the breakthrough, Hu Biao listened to the results of Chen Gongshu's interrogation again, and heard that it was the main force of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army that attacked them this time. The captured Japanese soldier Dazuo was also a wing commander of the division.

After listening to Chen Gongshu's report, Hu Biao said with a smile: "Lao Liu, it seems that it is really right to leave you behind, do you feel very happy to see the enemy being wiped out with your own eyes?" That guy, wait and pull back to the barracks at your disposal! ”

Knowing that Inoue Mingtaro was the commander of the earlier attack on the Purple Mountain position, Liu Guotong was also very excited: "Battalion commander, that guy is really handed over to us?" Don't you mind if we kill him? ”

"What's there to mind about! Earlier, when I saw this guy appear in the front line, I thought about capturing him alive or simply killing him, even if I snatched his body back, it would also open the eyes of the brothers, no matter how I said it, he was also a little devil! ”

It seemed that seeing Liu Guotong turn his gaze to himself, Chen Gongshu also smiled and said: "Don't look at me, Brother Hu is the biggest here, that guy was arrested by him, and he has the final say on what to do with it." In fact, that guy has been tortured by us and lives better than dead! ”

"Thank you, sir! On behalf of the brothers of the Fifth Regiment, I would like to thank you for this kindness. If I am fortunate enough to succeed in breaking through, I will definitely inform the captain of the matter and remember that the two commanders avenged our revenge. ”

"Lao Liu, it's boring to say this! They are all brothers in life and death who are fighting side by side, why should they be so polite? By the way, before executing that guy, it's best to get a camera and take pictures of that guy before he died.

If I can't take it away, I still want Lao Chen to find someone to send this guy to the rear, so that the people and soldiers in the rear can see what the little devil's Dazuo looks like. It's just a Japanese soldier, and you don't have to be so nervous, understand? ”

Compared with Chen Gongshu and Liu Guotong, who attach great importance to a Dazuo captive, Hu Biao feels that it is not interesting. If possible, Hu Biao would prefer to capture a general-level prisoner, the greater the shock caused by this, the better the effect of using it for propaganda.

Fortunately, Hu Biao always believed that as long as he could leave Jinling alive this time, he believed that sooner or later he would catch the general-level old devil. Several division commanders and brigade commanders besieging Jinling this time had quite a few generals.

And what Hu Biao really wants to hunt is the commander-in-chief Matsui Shigen, the general, or the high-ranking prince. Of course, if he could hunt down a general at the level of division commander, Hu Biao would not mind.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Biao also said directly: "Lao Liu, after returning to the camp, let the brothers continue to rest after eating." In the early hours of the morning, your unit officially broke through the siege, pinned down and attracted the attention of the besieging Japanese army, and created a little rest time for our department.

After the breakout, your troops will go to the Purple Mountain to assemble, and one thing you must remember is that you will never be allowed to return to help. We have already lost enough people in this battle to defend Jinling, and I hope you can all stay alive and continue to fight the invaders.

If we die in battle, it will be the best compliment for us. If we are lucky enough to survive, we will have a chance to meet again in the future. When the time comes, if you really want to thank us, then remember to greet us with good wine and food! ”

Faced with a serious face Hu Biao confessing these things, Liu Guotong really thought about bringing his troops to the Purple Mountain and then returning. But now let Hu Biao directly expose it, Liu Guotong knows that this idea can only be lost.

Just when Liu Guotong hesitated, Hu Biao continued: "Disperse and break through, there will definitely be troops who can safely withdraw into the Purple Mountain, and there will also be troops who cannot reach the assembly area. And all you have to do is wait patiently there.

As long as we stay in the presidential palace, the little devils who have already entered the city will pay attention to us. This also means that when you share the pressure for us, we are also sharing the pressure for you, so as not to disappoint our brothers.

After retreating to the Purple Mountain, your troops can only rest there for a day at most, and you must remember not to let the little devils find out about your existence. If I can hold out until tomorrow night, I will find a way to lead my troops to break through at night.

If you hear gunshots, you can take them on the periphery. If no gunfire is heard, your troops must withdraw from the Purple Mountain position before dawn. Your captain has led the main force to the front line of Anhua Mountain, and your troops can go to the convergence.

As the most elite unit in the garrison of the city, I believe you know how strong the combat strength of the teaching corps is. One more warrior survives, one more elite squad. One more officer survives, one more elite platoon or company.

This war will continue for a long time, and we, as soldiers, may all die on the battlefield. But we must firmly believe that as long as we maintain confidence and sufficient fighting spirit, the future victory will definitely belong to us! ”

"Yes, sir! Guotong will definitely remember your words, and he will never dare to forget them in this life! ”

With the etiquette of a soldier, Liu Guotong gave Hu Biao a subordinate salute, and left with a few cronies and subordinates and Inoue Meitaro, who was tortured to the point of being inhuman. Regarding their departure, Hu Biao and Chen Gongshu both chose to watch.

Refocusing his attention on the direction of the shelling that had finally stopped, Hu Biao also said quickly: "Lao Chen, I'll leave this side to you, I'll go to the front and take a look." If there is anything urgent, remember to send someone to inform me in time. ”

"Good! Leave it to me here, you can rest assured! ”

As the left-behind director of Jinling dispatched by the military commander, Chen Gongshu did not think about leaving. But he knew very well that this was far from the time when he had to retreat. With Hu Biao in front, he is actually very safe in the back.

With the help of the intelligence network that has been dispersed to the civilian population, Chen Gongshu can also provide Hu Biao with information on the Japanese army in a timely manner. With the credit of sticking to the presidential palace with Hu Biao, Chen Gongshu knows very well that he can survive this battle, and his future is limitless.

At least within the military command, Lao Jiang and Dai Li, who had withdrawn to Wuhan, would pay more attention to it. With the appreciation of these two, he will also become one of the really high-ranking and powerful bigwigs within the military command in the future. This risk and reward, he thinks it is worth fighting again!

Just the information obtained from the earlier interrogation of the Japanese army Dazuo, Chen Gongshu did not forget to send a copy to the military commander. Knowing that Hu Biao captured an officer at the level of wing commander alive on the battlefield, Dai Li really felt unbelievable, and felt more and more that Hu Biao could not die.

Such a strong general will inevitably make more outstanding achievements for the national government in the future!

Regarding Chen Gongshu's abacus with the military commander, Hu Biao is naturally not clear. In this case, there is only one thing Hu Biao wants to do, and that is to annihilate the little devils. And the 18th Division of the Japanese Army is a notorious division.

If this division can be disabled, Hu Biao will also feel very proud and honored. When Hu Biao arrived at the area defended by Liu Quan and a company of guards, he soon saw that Xu Sandao was rapidly retreating with a group of soldiers.

When Hu Biao saw that behind Xu Sandao and the others retreating, there were still some Japanese troops in pursuit, he immediately said: "Commando, a platoon, follow me, pick up the brothers back, and kill those little devils!" ”

With Hu Biao's order, the commando team that Hu Biao had brought back to the presidential palace earlier, as well as a platoon of the guard company, quickly rushed out of the hidden position, rushed to about 500 meters in front of the position, and quickly built a defensive and blocking position.

Hearing the gunshots coming from the front, Xu Sandao, who was leading people to retreat, also said loudly: "Hurry up and retreat, the battalion commander is here to support us." Don't get entangled with the little devils, we'll clean them up when we get to the front. ”

Following the retreat channel deliberately conceded by Hu Biao and others, Xu Sandao and others quickly withdrew to the second-line position. And the little devil who was chasing at this moment, seeing his companions who were constantly being killed, quickly stopped and looked for a hidden location.

"Yaga! Where did this group of troops come from? Quickly, let the troops behind speed up, and strive to chase down in one go, and can't give them time to react. Otherwise, the battle will be difficult to fight later! ”

"Hey!"

The leader of the Japanese squadron who led a squadron as the vanguard of the assault knew very well that Xu Sandao and these people were very decisive. As soon as the shelling extended, these men did not entangle them at all and immediately retreated to the rear.

In order to avoid letting Xu Sandao and the others out of sight, the squadron leader directly ordered the pursuit. As a result, it didn't work out, and just after chasing for a short distance, I saw the other party's reinforcements coming. This also means that the pursuit battle will turn into an offensive war again!
