Chapter 123: Call, Keep Calling! (1st Update)

"That's it, at first we thought it was an air-raid shelter or something, the battalion commander said, it's so close to the city wall, it's better to go down and have a look, but as a result, we found that it was very deep and long, we walked inside for nearly half an hour, and we saw an exit, and when we came out, we were actually out of the city......" Xiao Wu took Leng Feng to the place where the secret passage was discovered.

After discovering this secret passage, the third battalion camouflaged the entrance of the cave so that no one could find out that there was another hole here.

After all, if the Japanese knew about it, whether they went out from inside or came in from outside the city, it would be a huge threat.

"Down!"

This secret passage was discovered before the Battle of Nanjing, and after the commander of the third battalion at that time discovered it, he made a report to the regiment commander Xie Chengrui.

But Xie Chengrui did not report this matter to the team headquarters, I don't know if I forgot it, or if I had another idea, Xie Chengrui doesn't know if he escaped now, and this doubt can only be asked after seeing him later.

After entering the secret passage, it is very narrow, almost only for one person to pass through, and heavy equipment cannot enter at all, that is, if you evacuate from the secret passage, I am afraid that some of the heavy equipment will have to be abandoned.

An eighty-millimeter mortar will definitely not pass, a sixty-millimeter reluctantly, and a heavy machine gun will have to be disassembled, otherwise, it will definitely not be able to enter.

After walking down seven or eight meters, I felt that the ground was very slippery, and a soldier who was walking in front of me didn't pay attention for a moment and almost fell down.

This side is close to the Yangtze River, the water vapor is heavy, and the ground is naturally slippery.

"Everyone be careful, look at your feet, and remind the people behind you." Seeing this, Leng Feng hurriedly ordered.

Walking, walking, the road became wider. The space is also larger, but it is a damp earthy smell, which is very uncomfortable.

Although the smell is not good, at least the air is circulating, indicating that this secret passage is connected to the outside world.

"Boss, bones found!"

"Hmm. See, watch out for these bones, there may be sharp objects. "Leng Feng has experience in drilling secret passages and caves, especially when he finds human bones, and the most easily ignored are the weapons or sharp weapons left by these people before they die, some of them are unintentional, and some are afraid that future generations will destroy their bones.

This kind of small trap is sometimes not careful, and even the sharp weapon is smeared with poison.

The minds of the ancients were no clumsier than those of today, but they were wise!

"Look, boss. These weapons ......"

The ground is very damp, so the weapons are very corroded, and they basically fall apart when touched, judging by the degree of corrosion, it looks like it has a history of hundreds of years.

However, this secret passage is very wet, and the rate of rust is doubled, so it is difficult for Leng Feng to tell how many years these weapons are.

The clothes on the corpses had long since rotted. The ornaments are also very ordinary, and they are rotten when touched.

"Boss. You see, this person has such long hair and no whip, it should be before the Qing Dynasty, could it be the Ming Dynasty? ”

"No, look at the material and style of the clothes. It should be relatively close, and if it was four hundred years ago, this bone would have become a pile of powder long ago. Leng Feng took a closer look and said based on the degree of corruption of the bones.

"This secret passage seems to have been dug in a hurry, and it should not have been consciously excavated. The existence of this secret passage should not exceed a hundred years. ”

"No more than a hundred years, is it the Taiping Army?"

"It's possible!" Leng Feng nodded, agreeing with this judgment.

"Let's go, we're not archaeological, let's leave these bones for future generations to study slowly." Leng Feng said.

There are not many bones in the secret passage, occasionally one or two are found, and judging from the shape of the bones, these people should all be injured and die inside.

In such a long and narrow space, it is impossible to fight, so there is no trace of a fight.

DiDi ......

"Boss, we've walked six or seven hundred meters, so we should have crossed the city wall, right?"

"Well, it's almost, Little Five, how long is the secret passage?"

"According to our battalion commander's speculation, the secret passage is at least 1,200 meters." Xiao Wu said.

"So, we're only halfway there, speed up, we have agreed with the witch staff to meet time, we must arrive before dark." Leng Feng commanded at an accelerated pace.

Everyone sped up, and the passage space increased, and their actions were not so restrained, and the speed was twice as fast as just now.

What Leng Feng didn't know was that the troops of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, which was chasing them, were inseparable from the 9th Division and the 114th Division near Rujiangmen.

In the end, Tani Toshio, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and many Japanese generals arrived to quell the fight, but they accused each other of being disguised by the Chinese army!

In addition to the fact that the Japanese army's own communications were not timely enough, and the sweeping troops were very scattered, not all troops carried radio stations, and the communication soldiers were informed on horseback or bicycles to convey orders!

As a result, the Japanese army's communications were not timely, and the officers at the grassroots level did not know what was going on.

The Sixth Division was even more red-eyed, they were the first troops to enter the city of Nanjing, and they didn't even know who they were when they killed people all the way.

This lost a squadron in the city at once, and immediately angered this group of murderous beasts.

The division commander Gu Shoufu was originally a madman, and his subordinates were also a group of madmen?

After fighting for a long time, I realized that the other party was my own person, but the mistake was irreparable.

Who bears the responsibility?

The Japanese also know that they blame each other, and no one wants to carry the blame, and the result can be imagined.

Although Leng Feng couldn't see this good scene, he was the initiator, and the people in Nanjing could see it!

Rumors are spreading, and the morale of the army is floating!

It is said that there is a heavenly soldier god who will descend on the city of Nanjing, turning into the appearance of the Japanese army, turning the Japanese army around, letting them kill each other, and killing many of their own people.

However, this mysterious unit disappeared without a trace after the incident, and the Japanese searched from house to house within a radius of several kilometers near the Rujiang Gate.

Not a single one was found, and they even broke into the refugee camps in the international security zone without finding the slightest.

The people are gone, the world has evaporated!

This further corroborates the rumor of this so-called "heavenly soldier and heavenly general", this story that makes the Japanese kill each other. It has been passed down by word of mouth among the people near Rujiangmen, and it has endured for decades.

Along with this story, another story began to spread in the city of Nanjing, that is, the news that the commander of the 19th Wing of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, Hitomi Hidesansa, was captured by the Chinese army.

The news spread quickly because someone printed leaflets and spread them everywhere. Soon not only the people in Nanjing knew about it, but also the ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chaoxiang Palace, in the name of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, released a message to the outside world, declaring that the "Yaksha" was just a small trick by the Shina government to cover up the defeat of Nanjing, and they knew that they could not defeat the powerful Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire, so they deliberately made up such a ridiculous and ridiculous story!

The so-called "people see Xiusan" Dazuo was captured for a while, and it was completely nonsense. It was seen that Dazuo was directing the troops to sweep up the remnants of the Chinese army who refused to surrender......

As soon as this statement of the Shanghai Dispatch Army Command was issued, it aroused tremendous discussions, and reporters from many well-known international newspapers flocked to the Central China Front Army Headquarters in Gusu.

They could not go to the Nanjing front, because the Japanese army did not allow reporters to enter the city of Nanjing, and only their military reporters could enter and leave freely, so they could only go to Matsui Ishine in Suzhou to ask for clarification.

Matsui Shigen scolded his mother angrily. Chaoxiang Palace does not ask for instructions and does not report. directly denied the news that "Renjian" was captured.

He's stern and he's the commander of the front? What's more, he couldn't figure out what was going on, it happened so suddenly, how could he answer the questions of those reporters?

The reporter was able to deal with it, but the consuls in Shanghai from Britain, the United States, France, and Germany also called to verify the accuracy of the news!

The Japanese Army Osa was captured, this kind of eye-catching news. It's certainly full of insider and drama, and even if it's a farce, it's caught the eye of countless people.

Coupled with the denial of the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters at Chaoxiang Palace, the curiosity of journalists to explore the truth was aroused, especially in Europe and the United States. They all insisted on the authenticity of the news and asked to go to Nanjing for interviews.

But this was all rejected by Matsui Shigen, how could he not know what was going on, let these reporters go to Nanjing, God knows, what would these people see?

He knows the military discipline of Japanese soldiers best, and the generals under him are not good people, and there is already a lot of negative news.

At this time, as the supreme commander of the Japanese army attacking Nanjing, he could only pinch his nose and recognize the black cauldron of Chaoxianggong, a disobedient subordinate.

Naturally, reporters from all over the world were inevitably chased and intercepted in Wuhan, but at first, the military and political officials who stayed in Wuhan seemed to avoid talking about this topic.

As a result, the Nationalist Government fooled the people, and the sound of grandstanding filled the streets and alleys of Wuhan at once.

Because it was published in plain code, the entire content of "A Letter to the Military and Civilians of Nanjing" was widely known, and many newspapers, including the newspapers of the state government and the red organs, reprinted the original text untouched!

If the government loses Nanjing, it has already been incomprehensible and bitterly scolded by the people, and if there is a matter of using such self-deceptive means to deceive the people, it will undoubtedly cause the government to suffer more criticism.

The Japanese army has already said that this is false, and also said that when people see Xiu Sansa, they are with their own soldiers.

Wuhan, Military Command Radio Headquarters.

"Call, continue calling......

Dai Yunong didn't know how many times he had given such an order, but no matter how he used the code name within the military command to call Wu Xiaoyun, he couldn't get any response.

If it can be determined that the person who sent the "telegram" is Wu Xiaoyun, then the news of the capture of the Japanese army Dazuo "Seeing Xiusan" will also be confirmed.

This is the best result, which can puncture the lies of the Japanese, which is extremely huge for the current boost to the image of the government and the morale of the soldiers, as well as the confidence of the people in the war of resistance.

It was not only him Dai Yunong who was waiting for this news, but a large number of big people behind him were anxiously waiting for the confirmation of the news.

But at this time, the radio station suspected of "Wu Xiaoyun" was silent.

This can make the people in the Wuhan Command and the General Staff Headquarters anxious.

Dai Yunong even scolded in his heart, this Wu Xiaoyun is too irresponsible, so he put such a power-on, and there is no follow-up, isn't this torture?

"Boss Dai, if Wu Xiaoyun is in Nanjing, the Japanese will definitely be looking for her at this moment, her situation must be very dangerous, I am afraid that even if we know that we are calling her, she will not have time to send us a telegram." Mao Qi Wudao.

"Qi Wu, you don't know, how many people are waiting for this news now, once it is confirmed that the Japanese Dazuo has been captured, we can give the Japanese a resounding slap in the face, and when the time comes, see if they still have the face to boast that the Japanese Imperial Army is invincible in the world!" Dai Yunong said excitedly.

It's been almost twelve hours since the power was issued, and if there is no more news, it will be hanging.

"Can you contact the lurking personnel of our military commander in Nanjing City?"

"Not yet, the Japanese army blocked all the exits in and out of Nanjing, and our people can enter, but not out." Mao Qi Wudao.

"Damn, isn't there a little bit of a hole in the Japanese blockade?"

"It's not nothing, it's just that even if you go in now, you can't hear any news, there is a complete chaos in Nanjing, and the Japanese are catching scattered soldiers everywhere, and if you go in at this time, you will die." Mao Qiwu said helplessly. (To be continued......)
