Leng Feng was very grateful that Qiu Qingquan could still think of himself at this time and make such a call to himself.

It's just that he didn't expect that this was the last call he received from Qiu Qingquan in Guanghuamen.

Qiu Qingquan said something on the phone that Leng Feng didn't know, the battle situation was already very dangerous, and the staff officers of the garrison commander's department had repeatedly asked Commander Tang Mengxiao to retreat to the lower officer, but Tang Mengxiao still gave the 36th Division twice an order to enter the city to prepare for street fighting!

It was not until the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division retreated to Xiaguan without permission and merged with the 36th Division that Tang Mengxiao changed his previous order and ordered the 36th Division to defend on the spot and block the rout.

However, the two orders before and after caused great trouble to the 36th Division, and the morale of the troops was low, which almost caused a catastrophe.

In addition to the 88th Division, the 74th Army Engineer Battalion erected a pontoon bridge on the Sancha River and prepared to withdraw to Xiaguan through the pontoon bridge, and also had a fierce exchange of fire with the 36th Division.

There were two infighting among the troops defending the city, which made Tang Mengxiao realize the seriousness of the problem, and the morale and will of the troops defending the city began to waver, and there was even a situation where the captain disappeared and the troops were unled.

If the battle continues to fight to the death, I am afraid that the 100,000 garrison troops will be buried in their own hands at that time, Tang Mengxiao urgently ordered to notify the military commanders above the first level of each division to go to the commander's headquarters to attend the military meeting.

Qiu Qingquan also told Leng Feng a piece of news, that is, the main position of the second peak of the Purple Mountain has been captured by the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, and the entire defensive front of the Purple Mountain has been completely shaken.

According to this trend, it is only a matter of time before the position of the main peak of Purple Mountain falls.

"What did Qiu Senza say?"

"Let's plan early, and once the order to break out is down, we will immediately make a breakthrough plan."

"Breaking through, isn't it retreating?"

"For others it's a retreat, for us, a breakthrough is the ultimate goal." Leng Feng said, "This is the only way we can survive. ”

"I didn't expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly." Qin Yankun's eye sockets were deep, and he said with a tired sigh.

"Damn the 88th Division, how can they do the stupid thing of escaping from the battle?" Luo Yufeng scolded angrily.

When they ran, the entire defense line was shaken, especially the Yuhuatai and Zhonghua Gate they guarded were still the main offensive positions of the Japanese army.

"Now it is useless to complain and blame, the important thing is what we do next, and how we respond once the Zhonghua Gate is lost." Leng Feng rubbed his temples.

"Lao Leng, you have the most ideas for fighting a war here, tell your thoughts." Luo Yufeng lit a cigarette and asked.

"My thoughts, once the Japanese army breaks through the Zhonghua Gate, it doesn't make much sense for us to stubbornly defend the Guanghua Gate, we might as well resist a little and let the Japanese army in!" Leng Fengshi said in shock.

"What, let the Japanese in!" Both froze.

"If the Japanese army is blocked out of the city walls, then how will we break through?" Leng Feng said, "If the result of resistance is useless in the end, but will completely bury us, why resist to death? ”

The expressions of the two were solemn, and it was obvious that Leng Feng's words did not convince them.

"This is revenge with a gentleman, ten years is not too late, I can't beat you now, but I have to fight you, then the result is only a dead end, but if I don't fight you now, I will avoid you, practice martial arts, and wait for one day when my martial arts come up, and then come to you, it will be different."

"Having said that, but we are soldiers, what is the difference between doing this and betraying the country for glory?"

"As long as Shangfeng gives us an order to break out, it is to authorize us to abandon the walled position, otherwise how can we break through?" Leng Feng asked rhetorically.

"Old Leng, you go on." Luo Yufeng knows Leng Feng better, he must have a back move, otherwise he wouldn't say that.

"Of course, if we let the Japanese troops in, we will not let them occupy the position easily, and we will fight the Japanese army at night!" Leng Feng said, "The Japanese army is definitely not familiar with the terrain, but we are different, as long as they attack the city, that is our opportunity, the residents near the city wall have long been gone, this is our world!" A fierce glint flashed in Leng Feng's eyes.

"That's right, we just need to hold off the Japanese army."

"Also, if my calculation is correct, I guarantee that everyone will be able to successfully jump out of the encirclement of the Japanese army encircling Nanjing!" Leng Feng said solemnly.

"Calculate what?"

"Remember the underground passage under the inspection that leads to the Engineer School?"

"Why don't you remember this morning!"

"Let's do this breakthrough article on this secret road." Leng Feng said.

"Didn't the secret passage be discovered by the Japanese, even if they didn't attack from the secret passage, they would send people to guard the secret passage, and even blow up the secret passage?"

"That's right, I'm just waiting for the reaction of the Japanese army!"

"What's the reaction?"

"What we have is patience, but the Japanese army does not, they are in a hurry to break through the city of Nanjing, so we will see tonight, and you will understand when the time comes." Leng Feng said, "So, now please let me buy a pass first." ”

"When is it, and you're still hiding?" Luo Yufeng was an anxious person, and couldn't help complaining.

"If there is no cooperation from the Japanese army in this matter, it is useless for me to say it, so it is better not to say it now." Leng Feng smiled and explained.

"Pretending to be a ghost, but that is, you are a little devil, and the little devil can't dream of you." Luo Yufeng smiled, he had such an experience, a brigade of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army was wiped out by Leng Feng's whole army.

"You just wait and see the show." Leng Feng smiled slightly, he didn't believe that the Japanese army would be able to resist such a temptation?

Once there is a breakthrough on the Zhonghua Gate, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army on the Guanghua Gate side will still be able to sit still? This was the first merit of the invasion of Nanjing, and the commanders of several Japanese divisions competed very fiercely.

Including the 16th Division that feinted to attack Zhongshan Gate, it was also full of energy, and it was the first to break through, Zhongshan Gate, which was named after the father of the nation, which was of great significance.

As for the plan of retreat, what was known at this time was only limited to some prefects' departments and some high-ranking generals.

The troops defending the city below didn't know about it, and Leng Feng was just a special case.

Even so, when it came to retreating, they just closed the door in the command post, discussing with Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun, and they didn't dare to reveal half a word to the people below!

If the officers and soldiers knew that Shangfeng was ready to retreat, it would easily cause morale to fluctuate, and eventually lead to the rout of the entire front!

"Once we receive the order, the first step we have to do is to bring back the wounded of our second regiment, as quickly as possible, whether it is light or severe, so from now on, we must be prepared, stretchers, and medicine."

"It's unrealistic to bring too much food on the way to retreat, so each of us only brings three days' rations, and then bring as much ammunition and cash as possible.

"Third, maps and means of transportation, this one is more difficult, if there is, it is more difficult for us to write, you can get some bicycles first, so that you can bring the lightly injured, and you can also carry some materials to reduce the burden of the team."

"Fourth ......"

Leng Feng said while Qin Yankun remembered that he was very serious, these things will be done next.

Otherwise, it will be too late.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Mengxiao convened a meeting of the commanders of the Nanjing garrison division and above.

After procrastinating, the meeting was basically completed at six o'clock, and the chief of staff pushed Chief Tang, who was still thinking about how to phrase it, and got up to announce the opening of the meeting.

Tang Mengxiao didn't say anything else, it was the issue of giving up Nanjing City, whether it was retreating across the river or breaking through, a specific plan had to be come up!

Obviously, Tang Mengxiao was finally urged by Lao Jiang, and with the sudden deterioration of the battle situation, he made up his mind to abandon the city.

Retreating north, a large number of ships are needed, but now that the ships are in Jiangbei, they need to be transferred from Jiangbei immediately, but this is probably taking time.

Moreover, the headquarters of Hu Shoushan's First Army has been withdrawn to Chuzhou, and the communication is not very smooth, which undoubtedly adds many variables.

The generals attending the meeting looked at each other one by one, although they already knew the topic of the meeting, but this was somewhat sudden for the generals who were defending the city.

Everyone didn't say a word, the atmosphere in the conference room of the Chief's Department was solemn, and the air was even colder and unbearable.

"This is a telegram sent to me yesterday by Chairman Chiang, if the situation cannot be long, you can retreat in order to plan for the future, Jiang Zhongzheng, Shen Zheng on December 11, 26th year of the Republic of China!" Tang Mengxiao took out the second telegram that Lao Jiang gave him ordering him to evacuate and read it out in public.

Everyone stood up in unison, put their feet together, and bowed their heads to listen.

"Sit down, sit down." Taking the hot towel from the adjutant's hand, Tang Mengxiao wiped his forehead and continued.

"The war is not to stay overnight today, but to continue tomorrow, the war is not terminated in the garrison of Nanjing, but in the area beyond Nanjing extended indefinitely, please remember today's shame, for the day of revenge in the future!"

After speaking, Tang Mengxiao also waved his fist angrily.

"Does Chief Tang have a retreat plan?"

"Chief of Staff Zhou."

"Yes!" Zhou Lan, chief of staff of the garrison commander's department, agreed, and nodded slightly at Tan Daoping, the first section leader.

A mimeographed order for the retreat and breakout plan was distributed to the prefects present at the meeting.

"Garrison Combat Life Special Word No. 1 Order"!

At 15 o'clock on December 12, he was at the garrison headquarters of the Ministry of Railways in the capital. 1. The situation of the enemy is known as the nobleman. 2. The garrison of the capital decided to break through the enemy in front of them on the evening of the 12th and move towards the border areas of Zhejiang and Anhui. All units of our 7th Theater of Operations are stationed on the lines of Anji Baimao (northeast of Ningguo), Sunjiapu (southeast of Xuancheng), and Yangliupu (southwest of Xuancheng) to contain the enemy in front of them, and are ready to meet the transfer of troops in our capital. 3. The timing of the start of the operations of the troops on the evening of the day, passing through the area and the assembly area. 4. Fortress artillery and all kinds of artillery and ammunition that are difficult to transport and move shall be completely blown up by themselves and shall not be used by the enemy. Five......

There were a total of eight orders, and the garrison headquarters was moved to Puzhen, and then transferred to Chuzhou.

In accordance with this order, the "Nanjing Garrison Breakout Plan" was formulated, which stipulated the retreat of the various divisions and the route of the breakout plan.

The breakout plan was then sent to the commanders of the armies, and the commanders of the armies who had received the orders and plans rushed out of the headquarters of the garrison commander in a swarm.

These people all know that once the retreat order is issued, the city of Nanjing will be in chaos, and at this time, whoever goes out of the city first and runs fast first will be able to pick up a life.

The phone can still get through, and some people simply make a phone call, send an adjutant, assign someone below to lead the troops, pack up important documents and soft things by themselves, get into a jeep and rush down.

And all this is where the disaster began.
