"The Capital Anti-Japanese War National Salvation Division has recruited student soldiers!"

This news is like a wind that spreads throughout the Nanjing International Security Zone, and I will pass it on to you, and you will pass it on to him, one by one.

Soon, the whole security zone head was boiling.

"Let's go, sign up!"

"Classmate, wait a minute, I'll ......"

There are many students trapped in the security zone, and after witnessing the brutal acts of the Japanese invaders in their own cities, the most bitter hatred swells in the hearts of the young people, and they want to go to the battlefield to fight against the Japanese invaders and avenge the death of their compatriots!

"Don't squeeze the students, don't squeeze, all have a share, all have a share...... "Capital Hotel, the registration office of the cadets, a person is crowded, young and full of vitality is full of impassioned face.

"Students who get the registration form, first fill it in according to the above items, if not, you can leave it blank, and then go over there to hand in the registration form, do a simple physical examination, and if you are qualified, you will be considered a national salvation teacher."

"Give me one, I'm going to join the National Salvation Division and fight the Japanese devils!"

Hundreds of registration forms were prepared, and in less than two minutes, they were snatched up, and every time one was printed, one was snatched away, and there were conflicts for one registration form.

Leng Feng set some hard conditions for the recruitment of cadets, such as that men must be over 16 years old, have an education level of junior high school, have good facial features, clear ears and eyes, and have no obvious physical defects.

The same goes for female cadets, the conditions are the same.

Soon 500 people were recruited, and the male cadets were temporarily handed over to the picket team for training and leadership, while the female cadets were enriched into the health team. Depending on the ability and strengths, arrangements will be made.

"We're going to join the army too......"

"We're going to join the army too!"

"Join the army. Fight devils! ”

“……”

The classmates who were drafted by the student army expressed their dissatisfaction. There was no way, the conditions for recruiting soldiers were harsh, but the conditions for soldiers were much more lenient, so these people rushed to the temporary recruiting station.

The retreat was carried out in an orderly manner, and in order to avoid bombing by Japanese planes, Leng Feng ordered the closure of Rujiangmen, the area divided by the people. Before boarding the boat, the Rujiang gate will be opened, and the people will be sent to the river by car to board the boat, and then cross the river!

In this way, there will be no crowding and stampede on the riverside, and it will also reduce exposure.

"Commander-in-Chief Leng, starting from 10 o'clock in the morning, we transported a total of 20,000 people in six batches, most of whom were women, children, children, wounded officers and soldiers, and civilians according to the requirements of the 'Provisional Management Committee'."

The cold front calculated, at this rate. Even if the people rest, the ship will not stop. Only about 100,000 people can evacuate to Jiangbei every day, and it will take at least three days to evacuate all the people in the city.

"What's the situation over there in Jiangbei?"

"Everything is fine at the moment, and before dark, we have used ships to bring in 500 tons of food, as well as all kinds of daily necessities."

"How's the river going?"

"The wind is not strong, but the waves are a little urgent, and you can cross at night at present!"

"Then cross at night, telegraph to Deputy Chief of Staff Liao and Director General Fei Wusheng, if the meteorological conditions allow tonight, we will evacuate people and supplies to the north bank overnight." Leng Feng said.

Intelligence shows that the Japanese army has once again approached the city, but they are not ready to attack for a while, because these troops do not have a unified subordination, who will be the commander-in-chief of the siege, the Japanese army is also quarreling endlessly, and there is no accurate answer.

The arrogant Japanese army could not have imagined that the 'Yaksha' and a patchwork army would be able to defeat the elite 16th Division in such a short period of time, and even take control of the entire city of Nanjing.

The problem was even more serious because the commander of the dispatch army, Lieutenant General Hatohiko Asakanomiya, was also lost in the city, and it is unknown whether he was captured or killed, in addition to many high-ranking Japanese officers and diplomats.

The largest number of Japanese expatriates were the Japanese expatriate, and none of the thousands of Japanese expatriates living in Nanjing had escaped.

Now these have become the opponent's bargaining chips.

Shunroku Hata encountered such a tricky thing on the first day he arrived, he regretted it, and he knew that he would let Matsui Ishine hold on for a few more days, so that he would deal with this mess first.

And now, everything has to be done by him, and once it is not handled well, he, the commander of the Central China Front, may also return to Japan in disgrace, just like Matsui Ishone.

Tangshan Artillery School.

The Japanese army set up a shelter in Tangshan, and all the Japanese soldiers who escaped from Nanjing were taken in one after another, and at the end of the day, thousands of people gathered.

Coupled with the strength of the original 19th Brigade, the entire 16th Division had less than 5,000 people left, and most of them were wounded and demoralized.

The Japanese elite standing division, which is fully staffed together, has nearly 30,000 troops, and now these remnants of the army are left, which is probably something that these invaders did not expect.

The Sixth Division couldn't come, and was stared at by tens of thousands of **** in the third theater, and as long as there was a slight change, it launched a full-scale attack.

The new 38th Brigade raided and occupied Xuancheng, cutting off the Guangxuan Highway at once, and dealing a fatal blow to the throat of Gu Shoufu's Sixth Division.

After the new 38th Brigade occupied Xuancheng, it did not move.

The position of Xuancheng is like the seven inches of a snake on the defensive line of the Sixth Division, nailed to seven inches, the Sixth Division will be difficult to move, no matter how he Gu Shou tosses and turns, as long as Xuancheng is in hand, the Sixth Division will not want to return to Nanjing!

The Sixth Division could not draw troops to rescue Nanjing, and the only fastest ones were the Third Division, which was guarding Zhenjiang, Danyang, and Changzhou, and the Ninth Division, which was guarding Suzhou, Changshu, and Kunshan.

The 3rd Division was the closest, and after receiving the order from Shunroku Hatata, it left a small number of garrison troops, all of which were drawn and headed for Nanjing.

The Ninth Division moved a little faster, but because of the long distance, even if it was one step ahead, it would take at least two days to reach Nanjing.

Unless, by train, the troops and horses are transported, otherwise. It's freezing on this day. Just by car and two legs. It will take two days to arrive.

That's fast enough.

"The Japanese came so fast, nearly 20,000 people of the Third Division have arrived at Jurong and the front line of Chunhua."

"According to the news from the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, the new commander of the Central China Front Army, General Shun Hata, has arrived."

"It seems that we have a different opponent." Leng Feng said, "This Shunroku Hata was born in an ordinary samurai family in Japan, and he is a tough and cruel person. There is Takero, his elder brother Hidetaro Hatata, who is also a general in the Japanese Army, was the commander of the Kwantung Army, and died of illness before September 18, this person is calm, resolute, and a difficult opponent to deal with. ”

"But don't be afraid, he's just here, and he's not familiar with the situation yet. Today we pursued to the vicinity of Tangshan and retreated. The Japanese army will definitely think that our troops are insufficient and our tactics are conservative, and they must have received and confirmed the news of our retreat from Jiangbei, so that as long as we hold the walled position for three or five days, we can completely evacuate, and there is no need to fight them to the death. Leng Feng explained while analyzing.

"Taking advantage of this psychology of the Japanese army, I discussed it with the division and decided to attack Tangshan tonight!"

"Wang Bin!"

"Here!"

"You take a small team to the Tangshan area to reconnoiter after night, bring a radio station, and report the situation of the Japanese army at any time!" Leng Feng ordered.

"Yes!"

"Li Ye!"

"Here!"

"How many more armored car squadrons are there to fight, and is there enough fuel?"

"We still have nine tanks, plenty of fuel and ammunition!"

"Okay, tonight's sneak attack, you approach covertly, suddenly attack, and deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army."

"Understood!"

"It's 4:40 a.m., and the commanders of all detachments and the military commanders above the regimental level are notified to hold a meeting at 6 o'clock, and the meeting place is in the conference room of the division headquarters of the National Salvation Division."

"Yes!"

At six o'clock, the former Ministry of Railways building, the division headquarters of the capital's anti-Japanese and national salvation division was located here.

"Wei Quan, have all the people arrived?"

"Except for Deputy Chief of Staff Liao, who can't come over, everyone else has arrived." Guo Weiquan said.

"Let's go, let's go and invite Master Qiu, and then have a meeting."

"Stand up!"

"Sit down." Leng Feng and Qiu Qingquan entered the conference room together, and Qiu Qingquan waved his hand with a smile.

"Wei Quan, read out the commendation order of the chairman!" Leng Feng sat down and ordered Guo Weiquan, announcing at this time was also to boost morale.

"I hereby ...... the great merit of recovering the capital, and I hereby order to reward 500,000 yuan in legal currency, which is ordered on January 31, the 27th year of the Republic of China, Jiang Zhongzheng."

Syllable. Syllable. Syllable......

The applause rang out, and everyone's faces were filled with excited smiles.

"Although we now basically control the city of Nanjing, there are still small remnants of resisting Japanese troops in the city, these need to be cleared, otherwise it will bring us mortal danger, call everyone here, just to remind everyone, it's not time to breathe a sigh of relief!" Qiu Qingquan said solemnly.

"What the division said is right, we can't be proud of a momentary victory, I think everyone still knows the truth that the arrogant army will be defeated, and then we will face the Japanese army's crazy counterattack, according to reconnaissance, the Japanese army's third division is already on the way to Nanjing, it is expected to reach Jurong and Tangshan this evening, and the troops can come to Nanjing early tomorrow morning, we are facing the main force of the Japanese army of one division, and it is even possible that there are two divisions!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Qiu Qingquan, changed their faces slightly.

These are two main divisions, with a total strength of 50,000 troops, and aircraft and artillery to help them, even if the newly recruited student detachment of the National Salvation Division is included, it is only 20,000 people.

This strength is not as good as half of the others, not to mention weapons and equipment, how can this battle be fought?

One by one, they were frightened and silent, and the triumphant energy just now wilted.

"You don't have to be afraid, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block the water and come to the earth, although we have few people, but we are not without the strength to fight." Leng Feng knew that he couldn't just pour cold water, but also cheer and encourage.

First of all, this is not more than a month ago, at that time, the Japanese army had a strong command structure, this time, they responded in a hurry, therefore, this gave us a loophole to drill, taking advantage of their unclear situation of our army, uncoordinated command, and beat him hard!"

"Senza, why don't you let us take the initiative?" Zhao Hai of the third team asked.

"Why not?"

Buzzing......

The chatter came, obviously. Leng Feng's decision surprised everyone. This is not the time to shrink your defenses. Do you use the walled position to block the Japanese army?

"Senza, our army has just been reorganized, and the quality of the soldiers and weapons and equipment are inferior to the Japanese army, so take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid it's not the opponent of the Japanese army, right?"

"Taking the initiative is not the same as blindly attacking, yes, our hard power and soft power are inferior to the Japanese army. But we are not inferior to the Japanese army in everything, at least one point, we are fighting at home, morale is high, and the military spirit is available! Leng Feng said solemnly.

"Staff Officer Long, inform the detachment leaders of the latest enemy situation!" Leng Feng commanded.

"Yes, Senza!" Long Yingqin got up and stood up, walked to the map money, picked up the wooden stick, and gently placed it in the position of Jurong: "According to reliable information." The forward of the Japanese 3rd Division has reached Jurong, and the number is the 68th Wing of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Division. About 2,000 men, and a third division regiment, the number unknown, starting from Zhenjiang, along the Shanghai-Nanjing railway line to the west, is expected to arrive at Longtan early tomorrow morning, the ninth division along the Hangzhou-Nanjing highway ......"

"It is expected that the Japanese army will use two divisions and about 40,000 troops to besiege Nanjing again!"

"These troops can arrive tonight at the earliest, and arrive two days later at the latest, this is the latest situation, Senza." Long Yingqin returned to his seat and sat down after introducing the enemy situation.

"These two Japanese divisions suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and they were not satisfied, and I am most familiar with the 68th Wing of the Fifth Infantry Brigade of the Third Division, and their Wing Commander Takashi Takamori was killed by me." Leng Feng said with a smile, "So, how many Japanese troops come, we just destroy them, they came in a hurry, a lot of heavy equipment was left behind, and now they are not much different from us, the weapons in our hands are not bad, and there is no shortage of ammunition, so, don't be afraid, last night, it wasn't a good fight, right?" ”

"A few of your detachment leaders will first report to me and the division seat on the current situation of the soldiers, weapons, and ammunition of each detachment." Leng Feng said, "It just so happens that you are all here, and your own troops know it yourself, right?" ”

"Old Ju, you come first."

"Okay." Ju Youlin stood up, "Counselor, division, my second detachment originally had three infantry battalions, a reconnaissance company, a mortar company and a heavy machine gun company, a total of 1,500 people, in last night's battle, our detachment suffered about 450 casualties, after replenishment, strengthening weapons and equipment, our detachment now has 2,200 people, in addition to the original three battalions and three companies, we have added an engineer company, a transport company, and a supplementary battalion. ”

"Three detachments!"

"Our three detachments originally had only 800 people, two infantry battalions, a machine gun company and a mortar platoon, and in last night's battle, we lost more than half of them, and after replenishment, now there are 1,300 ......"

"Four detachments, 1,200 people."

"The report division, the counselor, the five detachments now have 1,500 people......"

"Six detachments of seventeen hundred."

"Seven detachments of 2,000 people......"

"Eight hundred people in the special detachment!" Xie Jiyuan also stood up and said.

"Well, I've calculated here, excluding the first detachment, the student detachment, and the Yaksha Special Operations Team, the total strength of my National Salvation Division is 10,700 people, right?"

No one said anything, everyone was silent.

"Okay, Minister Shen, you remember, the amount of military rations will be distributed according to this number, as well as military salaries and allowances......

"No, Sen, I'll admit we're underreporting, but it's not ......"

"What's not that?"

"It's not that I'm afraid that the team will pull too fast, which will affect the combat effectiveness and won't be able to win better combat missions!"

"You still know that pulling the team too fast will affect the combat effectiveness, haven't you thought about what the consequences will be if I and the division seat assign tasks according to the troops you provide?" Leng Feng reprimanded harshly.

"It's all this time, you are still here, are you playing with us, or are you going to play with the Japanese army, give the real number!" Qiu Qingquan shouted angrily.

"There are still 300 people in my second detachment, a total of 2,500 people." Ju Youlin's old face darkened, and he said ashamedly.

"Three teams ......"

……

Honestly re-reported one by one, except for Xie Jiyuan's special detachment of 800 people, the other six detachments have more or less increased by a few hundred, and the most concealed is 600 people, which is the strength of two infantry battalions.

Good fellows, there are three thousand more people in this breath.
