On the evening of November 19, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade had a beautiful meal, and then camped outside the city and fell asleep.

At this moment, the General Headquarters, Chairman Chiang is dealing with the day's work.

Suddenly, when he saw a telegram, his brows furrowed, and the displeasure on his face became thicker and thicker, "Yu Nong." ”

"Yes, Headmaster."

"You can deal with this matter."

"Yes."

……

Night, 10 o'clock.

Chen Xiu and the others were already asleep, but suddenly, another soldier reported that someone from the city had come to the city, hooked the corners of his mouth, and some people still need other people to grind it, no, this is obedient.

After receiving the supplies and hearing a lot of good things from the people, he sent the people away.

"It really works." Tang Ning was a little excited, she originally thought that the telegram like that before was useless.

Chen Xiu touched Tang Ning's head, in the future life, as long as the leaders pay attention to it, the people below dare to get stuck, that is to look for death, "Go back and rest." ”

The next day, Chen Xiu and the others tidied up a little and continued to go north.

……

"Chen, the equipment is about to enter your vicinity of the South China Sea in the next few days." Leo looked at Chen Yifu, "Look, what should I do now?" ”

"Let's get off the goods from Hong Kong and go north by land." Chen Yifu sighed, fortunately, there is still a railway that can be used at this time, but the transportation fee is more expensive.

"That's good." Leo also breathed a sigh of relief, although they have a good relationship with Japan, but they are also unwilling to have contradictions with Japan, especially now, Japan is not declaring war on China, everyone understands that if the Japanese know that they are still aiding China, I am afraid that there will be some diplomatic trouble.

"Mr. Leo, in a few days, will you and I go to Hong Kong together?"

"Okay." At this point, Leo will not allow it, as long as the equipment is available, Chen Yifu will sell all the existing medicines to Leo. After all, these equipment were only exchanged for agency rights.

"As for the Engineer?"

"Chen, don't worry, there are so many equipment shipped over, we will definitely have engineers who will be responsible all the way until you install and debug the equipment."

"Thank you very much."

……

24 November, Hong Kong.

Chen Yifu and Leo watched the large equipment being carried off the ship, and they all had a little smile on their faces.

In this way, the equipment reached China safely, although Hong Kong is now under British control.

……

Chen Xiu received Chen Yifu's telegram, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief, at this time, after all, Guangzhou is still under the control of China, and the equipment is from Guangzhou all the way along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway to Wuhan, and then along the waterway to Chongqing, and then from Chongqing all the way to the north by land, and it will also arrive.

At the same time, the situation in Nanjing became more and more tense.

Originally, Nanjing was only guarded by more than 100,000 national troops, because in the eyes of the high-level, Nanjing had no meaning to defend. But since Chen Xiu's fake letter was exposed, there were many more national troops guarding Nanjing.

……

Matsui Ishine kept looking at the Chinese newspapers in recent days, frowning, what is the problem? The various reasons published in the newspapers were indeed of great benefit to the Empire. But what was supposed to be a very secret letter was actually exposed.

This puzzled him, and then he began to check the situation in the Shanghai dispatch army, and found that no one had written such a letter, but someone wanted to write such a letter.

It's weird, "Is it a coincidence?" Or is it to arouse the courage of the people of China to defend Nanjing? Matsui Ishine said to himself, "However, even so, Nanjing must be defeated!" ”

……

In the Purple Mountain position, now, Zhou Wen's regiment has three or four thousand people, and the entire fortifications repaired on the position are crowded. "This fortification is repaired, and sure enough, the professional is the professional." Tang Hu admired, compared with their brigade, this fortification was much better.

"I can see it, and the equipment is like heaven and earth compared to us before." Zhao Youde sighed, there are some things, there is really no way to compare, who made Zhou Wen belong to the Central Army?

"Okay, I guess, the devil should be attacking soon." Tang Hu frowned, "You tell the brothers to be careful, we still have to live well, don't let the little tigers have to avenge us." ”

"I know."

……

On December 1, the Japanese army base camp issued the "Mainland Order No. 8", ordering the Central China Front and the navy to coordinate and divide the troops into three routes to capture Nanjing, and on the same day, the Japanese army captured the Jiangyin fortress.

In accordance with the orders of the Front Army, the Japanese 10th Army deployed the 114th Division to attack and advance along the Liyang and Lishui highways to the south of Nanjing; The 6th Division also attacked and advanced in the direction of Nanjing along the Guangde and Honglanbu roads, and after the 114th Division; The Guozaki detachment entered and occupied Taiping (Dangtu) along the Guangde and Langxi roads, and then crossed the river to the vicinity of Pukou in a roundabout way to cut off the northward retreat of the Nanjing defenders; The 18th Division attacked Wuhu through Xuancheng and cut off the westward retreat of the Nanjing defenders.

Located in the northeast of Nanjing, the Purple Mountain is 448 meters high, covers an area of 31 square kilometers, and is the gateway to Nanjing. Occupy the Purple Mountain, you can condescend and peek into the whole city of Nanjing. Since ancient times, there has also been an old saying that Zijin burned and Nanjing fell.

For this reason, Zhou Wen's reinforced regiment plus the teaching corps has about 15,000 people, which is one more reinforced regiment than the historical teaching corps.

December 7th, evening.

"Tuanza, why hasn't the devil come yet?"

Zhou Wen put down the binoculars, "It's almost time, tell the brothers, get ready!" If the devil rushes up in a while, he will beat me hard! Extinguish the arrogance of a wave of devils first! ”

"Yes!"

The night is like water, and in Nanjing in December, the weather is already very cold, especially at night.

But even though the temperature was low, the Japanese army still launched an attack.

"Kill, give!"

"Kill, give!"

Soon, the sound of cannonballs sounded around Zhou Wen.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion heralded the official start of the battle.

Although Zhou Wen's reinforced regiment has a small artillery company, this cannon, compared with the number of devils, is really not worth mentioning, he thinks, when it is used at a critical time, the devil's artillery fire, they can only endure it.

"Tell the brothers, don't miss your head yet!"

"Yes!"

December is the time when the weather is dry. When the shells landed, they soon brought bursts of fire, and the position began to light up, and with the light of the fire, it began to be seen that vague figures were approaching the mountain.

The speed of these figures is not slow, but sometimes they will stop, after all, the shelling of the devils is still continuing, and if they rush too fast, they will be injured by mistake.

After more than ten minutes, the shelling of the devils finally stopped.

Tang Hu was on the position, squinting his eyes, looking at the devil who touched it, in his right hand, holding the gun, one hand, he had no way to use a rifle, so there were a lot of grenades in front of him.
