"Who will command the mixed brigade?"

"Li Jiang, commander of the 156th Division."

"Well, let the third battalion go, and give the third battalion four mortars, the ammunition is sufficient, and the engineer battalion will transfer a platoon, bring explosives and a sufficient number of Molotov cocktails, the Japanese army is obviously planning to break through from the Zhonghua Gate and deal with the Japanese tanks, the current anti-tank weapons are not enough, so we can only use our local methods." Leng Feng suggested.

"I think so." Qin Yankun said.

Luo Yufeng also nodded, Leng Feng's configuration was very reasonable.

"Go and call the commander of the third battalion, I have something to say to him." Leng Feng ordered the orderlies.

"Lao Liu, the group decided to shoot you to lead the team to help Zhonghua Gate, you remember, you have to ......" Leng Feng pulled Liu Guichun to the courtyard outside.

"This old Leng can't say anything in front of us?"

"I don't think I heard it." Luo Yufeng smiled and said, he knew what Leng Feng would say to Liu Guichun, but it must not be able to say it explicitly.

"Forget it, the battle has just begun, and this will take away a third of our troops, and we will have more courage on us."

"The Japanese army suffered in Guanghua Gate, and in Zhonghua Gate, the Japanese army has already broken through, and the Japanese army below will definitely concentrate on attacking Zhonghua Gate, and moreover, capturing Zhonghua Gate can also divide the defenders of the capital from north to south, so the pressure on our side will be lighter." Leng Feng analyzed.

This pressure is lighter, it is only relatively speaking, even if the Japanese army command makes the decision to feint and attack Guanghua Gate and mainly attack Zhonghua Gate, then these division commanders who are striving for merit will not give up easily.

In fact, the Japanese military leadership encouraged this kind of competition, and whoever attacked the city of Nanjing first would be the main attacking force.

However, in terms of resource allocation, the division and regiment that obtains the main attack will have a strength bonus, after all, it is still clear who is easier to break through and who will get more resources.

After the Hirano Brigade Headquarters was beheaded, Captain Takamori Takayo personally took people to Laomiwu to investigate the scene, and then carefully questioned his subordinates and the soldiers who had experienced it, and finally came to the Engineer School to investigate on the spot, and finally let him discover an amazing secret.

When he discovered this secret, he immediately went to the headquarters of the 9th Division and asked to see Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the 9th Division.

His unit was part of the Ninth Division, in other words, Ryosuke Yoshizumi was his current immediate boss.

"Eagle Sen-kun has discovered a secret passage leading to the city, do you think it's true?"

"Hai, my subordinates went down to check it in person, this secret passage was built very old, it may be hundreds of years ago during the Ming Dynasty of China, the China Army should have attacked our team's team in the Engineer School from that secret road, and then disguised itself as the Imperial Army to attack the Hirano Brigade Headquarters, otherwise, I can't explain how the mysterious China Army appeared?"

"How did the people of China know that the headquarters of the Hirano Brigade is located in Lao Miwu?"

"This ......"

"Are the people of China immortals, can they pinch it?"

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Reporting Division!" Takamori Xiao Dazuo stood up and said solemnly.

"Speak!"

"When I was cleaning the Mukou squad of the Engineer School in China, when I was cleaning the battlefield, I didn't find the body of Lieutenant Mukou."

"You mean, Lieutenant Mukou was captured by the Chinese army, and the information of the Chinese army was learned from his mouth?"

"Eagle Sen-kun, how can you doubt the loyalty of an Imperial soldier without evidence?" Chief of Staff of the 9th Division, Nakagawa Osado.

"Nakagawa-kun, I just said that this possibility is not ruled out, otherwise why did we find everyone's bodies, but we didn't find Mu Kou, and we also found Lieutenant Mu Kou's military uniform and some personal belongings in the corner of an abandoned classroom."

"It's a shame that the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire actually betrayed the emperor and betrayed the empire!" Ryosuke Yoshizumi was unusually angry, which made him even more angry and difficult to accept than the defeat in a battle.

"Also, after the Shina Army sneaked up on the headquarters of the Hirano Brigade, they could return to the city from the secret passage, but they chose to cross our position from the front, Your Excellency the division commander, do you think, why is this?" Eagle Mori filial piety.

"Isn't that part of their plan?" Hiroshi Nakagawa asked suspiciously.

"Nakagawa-kun, in fact, it's not that simple, this may be part of their plan, the sneak attack on the Hirano Brigade Headquarters is just a casual one, but I feel that this may be the deliberate act of the Zhina!" Eagle Mori filial piety.

"Deliberately, how do you say that?"

"The people of China have moved all the military supplies from the warehouse of the Engineer School, and in such a short period of time, it will take at least two or three hundred people to complete, and they also need to transport these materials back, so this secret passage must have been very busy at that time, so they must not let us know, this is the main reason why they learned the location of the Hirano Brigade Headquarters and launched a sneak attack." Takashi Takashi analyzed, "Because Hirano Shaosa is the supreme commander of the front-line sweeping force, as long as he is eliminated, he can naturally cover up all the movements in the engineering school, and it can also make our department chaotic, and there is no time to take care of it, so that they can transfer materials from the secret passage!" ”

"Makes sense." Ryosuke Yoshizumi nodded.

"And after they raided the headquarters of the Hirano brigade, they agreed with the Shina army in the city to cross our army's position head-on, this is their second action to cover up the existence of the secret passage, because they don't want this secret passage to be invalid after using it once!" Takashi Takamori continued.

"They moved all the supplies, and our department will definitely track it down and find out about the secret passage, which is a matter of time?" Hiroshi Nakagawa said with some doubts.

"Nakagawa-kun is right, but they have plenty of time to carry out extremely clever camouflage at the entrance of the secret passage, if I hadn't found some clues, I'm afraid it would have been really difficult to find the existence of this secret passage, so that the Zhina army could once again appear on the flank of our army's back like a ghost!" Speaking of this, Takamori Takashi Osa couldn't help but feel a little proud.

This is quite a terrible thing, said Yoshizumi Ryosuke's expression sank, and he caused the loss of one wing at a time, how many wings did the Ninth Division have?

"What clues?"

"They were in too much of a hurry when they retreated, forgetting that the shoes worn by the Chinese army and the Imperial soldiers were different, and although they covered up their shoe prints and made traces to mislead us astray, they finally let me discover the location of the entrance to the secret passage!"

"Very good, Ying Sen-kun did a good job!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Takamori was overjoyed to find out this secret, in fact, he wanted to enjoy it exclusively, and was ready to secretly lead his troops through the secret passage.

In that case, his troops would be the first to attack Nanjing, and the supreme glory would belong to him and the Third Division.

However, he thought about it, and the people of China must have been on guard if they knew where the secret passage was, if it was a trap.

Then you're going to get yourself into it.

Takashi Takashi Takashi is a smart man, and he discovered the secret passage by himself, so the first unit to go down must be his wing!

If Yoshizumi Ryosuke had reassigned other troops, the commander of the Fujita Division of the Third Division would not have easily agreed.

Therefore, before he came to see Yoshizumi Ryosuke, he reported the situation to Fujita Shin.

Even if Fujita Susumu can't influence Yoshizumi Ryosuke's decision, the credit for discovering the secret path is also his Takamori Takashi.

"Eagle Mori-kun wants to lead a force through the secret passage and attack from behind the walls of the Shina army, right?" Ryosuke Yoshizumi asked.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, this is an excellent opportunity, please allow you to lead a squadron of imperial soldiers to attack decisively from the secret passage and capture Guanghua Gate in one fell swoop!"

"Yingsen-kun, aren't you afraid that this is a trap deliberately left by the Zhi Na man?" Hiroshi Nakagawa asked.

"There is an old saying in China, it is called wealth and danger in the pursuit of wealth, war itself is an adventure, if we do not have the spirit of adventure, how can we conquer such a big country in China?" Yingsen said arrogantly.

"How sure are you?" Yoshizumi Ryosuke's heart was moved, he didn't care about Takamori Takashi's little thoughts, now his wing belongs to the Ninth Division, Takashi Takashi Takamori was able to break into the city, that was also his command, and the Ninth Division also had the credit of covering and assisting.

This cannot be erased.

"Humble position is at least seventy percent certain!"

"Looks like Eagle Sen-kun is very confident!" Hiroshi Nakagawa smiled.

"Please give Yingsen a chance, Your Excellency the Division Commander." Eagle Mori Xiao put his legs together and stood on the right path.

"Any war, as long as there is a three-point chance to win, it can actually be fought, not to mention that Ying Senjun has a seven-point certainty, I have no reason not to give you this opportunity." Ryosuke Yoshizumi said slowly, he also needs a victory to wash away the shame.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Division Commander!" Eagle Mori filial piety said with joy.

"When is Eagle Mori-kun going to attack?" Ryosuke Yoshizumi asked.

"After deciding to make a little preparation, I will attack immediately." Takamori thought for a moment.

"No, attack now, in case it is discovered by the forward observation post of the Chinese army, it is likely to be in vain, I suggest that you wait until after dark, quietly enter through the secret passage, and then I will order the front-line troops to cooperate with your actions and attract the attention of the Chinese army, so that you can act quickly!"

"Hai, I understand!"

After saluting, Ying Mori left the headquarters of the 9th Division and went to prepare for the sneak attack at night.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, why did you let Eagle Sen-kun delay the attack just now?" Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi asked suspiciously, in his opinion, that reason cannot be established, the Japanese army has long taken control of the engineering school, and the people of nearby China have already been "purged", and there are no intelligence officers of the China Army at all, even if there is an observation post, they may not be able to detect the movement in the engineering school.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke was silent, it was clear that he didn't want an outsider to rob the Ninth Division of the supreme glory of being the first to enter the city of Nanjing.

He also pinned his hopes on his troops to be the first to climb the city wall of Nanjing and enter the city of Nanjing, so that the surprise attack of Eagle Mori Xiao was just the icing on the cake.
