"Dai Tuanzuo, the latest battle report, Yangfang Mountain, Yinkong Mountain and the city have lost contact, and the garrison headquarters speculates that the Second Army has encountered an accident!" Leng Feng returned to the command post from the position, and Qin Yankun, the chief of staff, handed over a telegram.

"Xu Yuanquan, that old guy took the initiative to give up his position and retreat, maybe he didn't know." Leng Feng took the message and said coldly.

"No, without an order to retreat, he dares to risk the world's condemnation?" Qin Yankun was surprised.

"What's not to dare, don't you understand the thoughts of these local factions, to preserve their strength, they don't have soldiers in their hands, who still treats them as dishes, General Feng of the Northwest Army, several theaters are kicking around, and who cares about those generals with heavy troops?"

"It's also said that if Yangfang Mountain and Yinkong Mountain are lost, Yaohuamen will inevitably set the enemy, and the enemy on the east road will go straight down the railway line, and our only way to retreat is dangerous." Qin Yankun used a red pen to draw along the railway line on the map.

Leng Feng remembered that familiar face, Shan Yuan Shan Battalion Commander, I don't know how his life and death were, after all, I had fought side by side.

"The Japanese army hasn't been able to do it for a while, pay close attention, what about Wu Xiaoyun?" Leng Feng asked.

"Staff Officer Wu is in the telecommunications room next door, Leng Dai Tuanzao, I'm curious, how did you dig people up from the headquarters headquarters?" Qin Yankun asked curiously.

"Isn't she unwelcome at the headquarters headquarters?"

"Those people in the headquarters really don't want to see the Wu staff officer, but those of us in the front-line combat units know that the Wu staff officer alone can go to the top of the reinforced battalion." Qin Yankun smiled and said.

Leng Feng smiled, it seems that Wu Xiaoyun is not so unlikeable, but he is just not suitable for sitting in the trap.

The personnel of the organs are too complicated, the combat units are much simpler, and they speak on the basis of their ability, and those who do not have the ability are even more disgusting in the combat units.

"Cong Hu, go and call the third battalion commander to me!" Leng Feng ordered.

"Yes!"

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Third Battalion Commander Liu Guichun, please give instructions on behalf of the regiment!" Liu Guichun came in, gave Leng Feng a military salute, and said loudly.

"Battalion Commander Liu was born as an engineer, right?"

"Yes, the humble post is the graduation of the ninth phase of Huangpu engineers!"

"You worked as a teacher at the sapper school?"

"Yes, Leng Dai Tuanza, you didn't come to me to ask about my experience, did you?" Liu Guichun was not surprised, Leng Feng used to be a staff officer at the regiment headquarters and knew that his resume was normal.

As everyone knows, Leng Feng just found out.

"No, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know, is there a tunnel in the Engineer School that leads to the city?" Leng Feng asked.

Liu Guichun's expression was a little surprised, such a secret matter, I am afraid that even the leaders of the engineering school may not be clear.

But he has heard that when the engineering school was first built, an ancient tunnel was discovered, and the legend is that Emperor Jianwen escaped from this passage during the Battle of Jingjing.

It's hard to tell the real from the fake now, but there are indeed many such passages leading to the outside under the ancient city, and escape is only one of the functions when necessary, which is actually part of the underground drainage network of Nanjing.

"Yes or no?" Leng Feng asked.

"Yes, but I don't know the exact location, and I haven't gone down." Liu Guichun nodded.

"If I want to know where the entrance to the city is, where can I find it?" Leng Feng said.

"The Institute of Geology, where the information about the underground pipelines in Nanjing is stored." Liu Guichun said.

"You should immediately take someone to the Institute of Geology and find out this tunnel for me, can you do it?"

"It's too difficult, so much information, you can't see it all at once?"

"Then use the elimination method, the data will definitely be classified, find out a few keywords, so that you can narrow down the scope, right?" Leng Feng said.

"Give it a try, but you won't always find it."

"It must be possible, this is related to the future life and death of our second regiment!" Leng Feng said solemnly.

"I can go, but Leng Dai Tuanza, what do you want to do with this tunnel?" Liu Guichun asked.

"If you can find it before dark, tonight, we will go to the engineering school to sneak up on the Japanese army, and by the way, we will bring back the ammunition and other supplies stored in the engineering school." Leng Feng explained.

"What if you can't find it?" Liu Guichun took a breath of cold air, this cold generation group seat really didn't dare to think about others.

At this time, he was still thinking about how to attack and strike at the enemy, and he didn't look at the Japanese army at all.

"Then we'll have to find another way."

"I understand, I will go to the Institute of Geology, and strive to find the entrance to the city in the shortest possible time!" Liu Guichun said solemnly. (The names of some battalion platoon commanders cannot be found, so they can only make it up, I hope you understand, thank you for your support.) ）

"Okay, you go and come back quickly, I'm waiting for your good news!" Leng Feng nodded.

"Dai Tuanza, do you really want to sneak attack the Japanese army from the tunnel?"

"Sneak attack on the Japanese army is not our main purpose, our purpose is to store ammunition materials in the engineering school, our ammunition consumption in the past two days of fighting is very large, if we don't replenish it, it won't be long before the guns in our hands really become burning sticks." Leng Feng explained.

"I see, the ammunition supply of our teaching corps is not too tight, so there is no need to take risks." Qin Yankun said.

"We can still support for a while, but what about our friendly neighbors, without their support, we will be alone, the war of resistance is the business of all Chinese, at this time there is no unity, only to be a slave to the country!" Leng Feng said solemnly.

"Understood, it's just, such a big action, do you want to report to Shangfeng?" Qin Yankun reminded.

"I've asked Wu Xiaoyun to use a secret telegram to ask for a seat." Leng Feng said.

"I see." Qin Yankun put his mind at ease, as long as Shangfeng agreed, he had no intention of blocking it.

How did Qin Yankun know that Leng Feng didn't ask Wu Xiaoyun to send Qiu Qingquan any secret message at all.

It was yet another disorganized, undisciplined private operation.

The battle for the castle wall did not stop, and the Japanese repeatedly launched a charge, but they were all defeated by the national army.

The Japanese troops, having suffered heavy losses, temporarily retreated to the other side of the moat and engaged the Chinese troops in the walled positions.

The sound of artillery in the direction of Yuhuatai was thick, and Gu Shoufu commanded the 6th Division to launch several assaults against the 88th Division, which was holding the Yuhuatai position.

The second line of positions was precarious, and the Japanese once attacked Yuhuatai, but were repulsed by the defenders in a white-knuckle battle.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Luo Zhuoqing has been sticking to the tower of Zhonghua Gate to command the 88th Division to resist the war, and the commander of the 88th Division, Sun Yuanliang, also personally led the team to rush to the aid of Yuhuatai several times, and the battle was extremely cruel.

Wave after wave of violent Japanese scritter planes flew in from the distant sky, taking turns bombarding Yuhuatai, Zhonghua Gate, and Nanjing City, and tons of explosives were tilted down.

The flames of the explosion, the billowing clouds of red and black smoke, rags flying, limbs flying!

What a tragic scene this is, Leng Feng has never seen it in nearly thirty years of life.

Between the ruins, the corpses of Nationalist soldiers buried under the rubble, as well as the remains of refugees who had fled the fighting, were everywhere, and the Japanese and Nationalist defenders who attacked one after another fought desperately inside and outside the city walls.

The most pitiful of all were the civilians, who had no protection against the rapid bullets of the warring sides, and were knocked to the ground like mustard.

The Japanese frantically bombed and shelled the houses in the city one by one, in a vain attempt to bury the Chinese soldiers who resisted inside.

And how can this accidentally injured civilian be remembered thousands of times!

The tooth-wrenching sound of the tank crushing the corpse, the bright red blood and white brains being squeezed out, was indescribable.

It is estimated that people who like to eat tofu brain have seen it and do not want to try this delicacy again in their lives.

The Molotov cocktails of the cold front really worked, and the 87th Division took the lead in using incendiary throwing tactics in dealing with the Japanese tank charge.

Sure enough, the Molotov cocktail smashed into the steel plate of the tank, attached to it and burned, forcing the Japanese army to escape by strange car and achieving considerable results.

The 87th Division destroyed six Japanese tanks in one fell swoop, and only lost more than 30 people of its own, and the battle loss ratio fell by more than two times at once.

Cheng Yiding was very happy and personally called Leng Feng to express his gratitude.

The Ninth Division was not attacked by home-made Molotov cocktails, and for a time it panicked, not knowing what new weapons the Chinese army had invented, and Ide Xuan hurriedly ordered the offensive to be suspended and to study the tactics of dealing with the new weapons of the Chinese army.

After achieving actual results, Cheng Yiding immediately reported the situation to his immediate boss, Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 71st Army.

Feedback to the garrison headquarters, Tang Mengxiao immediately ordered the 87th Division to send a batch of ** to Zhonghua Gate, and taught the 88th Division how to use **.

Soon, this kind of ** tank fight spread among the national army.

However, everyone thought it was the masterpiece of Cheng Yiding of the 87th Division, and only a few people knew that it was actually Leng Feng's "invention", and he had already used it in actual combat a few days ago.

It's just that at that time, no one paid attention to the fact that this ** could play such a big role, and they all abandoned it.

By the time they woke up, the loss was inevitable.

For the national army defending the city, the next time is to "survive", and there is no retreat order, so it depends on who can survive whom.

As a matter of fact, as early as noon today, He Jingzhi, Minister of Military Affairs in Yangzhou, called Tang Mengxiao, commander of the Nanjing garrison, and conveyed the order to "evacuate the camera."

It's just that this order was rejected by Tang Mengxiao, and the troops defending the city were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, and the two sides were stuck together, and there was no way to evacuate.

Moreover, Tang Mengxiao really wanted to hold Nanjing, and didn't want to evacuate so early, at least to withdraw after consuming the viable strength of the Japanese army in Nanjing, so that he could give an explanation to the country.

When it was almost dark, a piece of news came that a unit of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army had broken through the cotton embankment position on the western front and was attacking and advancing in the direction of Xiaguan along the Three Forks River.

This is quite bad news, the Japanese army has begun to besiege the city of Nanjing, once the Japanese army occupies the dock of Xiaguan, the defenders of Nanjing will become meat on the chopping block.

The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the national army defending the city.
