The smoke cleared, and the entire Zhonghua Gate area was in ruins, of course, it was already in ruins before this.

Only now, even the broken outline has been completely wiped out in this explosion, and perhaps, in the future, you can only feel the majesty and magnificence of this majestic city pass from old photos.

In front of the position, Wu Xinhua breathed a sigh of relief, although he was much older than Leng Feng and was still half of his senior, but when Leng Feng's stern reprimand came, he actually had a feeling of 'fear' in his heart.

Of course, this 'fear' comes from a kind of awe for the powerful who are capable.

It's not that Leng Feng is too strong, in fact, Leng Feng is usually a very good person, and he can occasionally make jokes, but he is not good at words.

Leng Feng also knows that he is not a person who can speak well, so every important meeting or speech, he needs to organize it in advance and write an outline, so that he will not make mistakes.

The Japanese needed time to reorganize their offensive, and for the 40 Brigade they also needed to repair the fortifications that had been damaged in the explosion and redeploy the battle plan.

The street fighting is finally about to begin.

Both sides seemed to be accumulating the last of their strength, but the morale of the Japanese army was a little low, and Yoshika Ryosuke easily eased up, and immediately received a stern reprimand telegram from General Shunroku Hata.

In the telegram, General Shunroku Hata scolded him for being bloody, since there is a precedent for the Chinese army, why not take any precautions in advance, if it is discovered that the Chinese army has withdrawn from its position earlier, the conspiracy may be discovered and stopped in time.

Ryosuke Yoshika can't say anything about his grievances now. It was he who came up with the idea of concentrating on the attack. General Shunroku Hata did not hesitate to suppress Fujita Susumu and transferred the heavy artillery and chariots originally attached to the 3rd Division to the 9th Division. As a result, a cannonball came down, and it was ploughed inside and out.

Not even a single hair of the Chinese army was found, and they suffered dozens of casualties in non-combat.

The heavy artillery units of the Imperial Japanese Army did not come to plow the land for the Chinese!

If it had been launched a little later, it would have been discovered, and at the time of the shelling, it was not yet dawn, and the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke. As soon as this unit is pulled up, it is not so easy to pull it down again.

What's more, rushing all the way, only sporadic Chinese soldiers are resisting, can they still stop the warriors of the empire from establishing meritorious deeds?

It's not that there are no officers who noticed that something was wrong, but at that time, even if it was fed back to the command and the command made a decision, it was already too late.

What's more, no one on the left and right thought that this 'Leng Feng' would actually repeat the old trick and design such a play under the Zhonghua Gate.

Is he a 'rat'? Born to make holes?

So many shells fell on the positions. Why is it that the explosives planted underneath are useless at all?

Even if it is an artificial detonation, it will not have such a huge power!

Damn Nakajima. How much explosives did you leave behind for the people of China in Nanjing?

Yoshizumi Ryosuke couldn't find a reason in the end, and he actually hated Nakajima Isago who was already angry, and even the 16th Division hated it a lot.

The hatred between the 9th Division and the 16th Division is over.

"Your Excellency the division commander, what to do now, the soldiers are waiting for your decision." The headquarters of the 9th Division, the generals above Osa, were concentrated in the military tent of Ryosuke Yoshika.

"Prepare to attack!" Although Ryosuke Yoshika was injured, it was also an injured tiger, and the tiger would not admit defeat easily.

"Attack, Your Excellency Division Commander, you say we are going to attack now?" Chief of Staff Nakagawa Guang was taken aback, such a big loss, the soldiers must be demoralized, attacking at this time, isn't this asking for hardship?

"Didn't you hear the order of the commander of this division, attack, attack, do you understand!" Ryosuke Yoshika's excited old face was swollen and red, and he angrily slapped the edge of the marching bed and yelled.

"But division commander, where are we attacking from and how are we deploying our troops?"

"Isn't it an opportunity for us that the people of China have abandoned their fortifications? Although we suffered huge losses, we also opened the gates to the city of Nanjing, and ordered the artillery to immediately launch an artillery bombardment into the city, and the infantry then broke through! Ryosuke Yoshika got up from the marching bed and ordered sternly.

"Hay!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, is it indiscriminate shelling?" Seiichi Takeda of the Heavy Artillery Wing asked.

"Needless to say, how many shells there are, how many will be shot out for me!" Ryosuke Yoshika almost yelled at Takeda.

"Hay!"

Thundered......

An hour after the earth-shattering explosion at the Zhonghua Gate, the Japanese artillery began again, this time not only aimed at the positions of the National Salvation Division, but also carried out indiscriminate shelling of the houses in Nanjing.

For a time, meteors flew over the city of Nanjing, hundreds of shells fell in one minute, explosions came one after another, and the city of Nanjing was once again ravaged by the artillery fire of the invaders after suffering serious injuries. Staggered.

Those people who retreated to Jiangbei could see the sky-high flames in Nanjing City due to the explosion and fire across the Yangtze River, and Nanjing City completely turned into a sea of fire.

The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, thousands of years of cultural accumulation, I am afraid that after this war, only some broken tiles can be left.

"**** little devil!"

"Jap, I. Exercise. Your ancestors ......"

“……”

The people looked at the bombed homes on the other side, and all of them scolded angrily, and some of them even left tears of leaving their homes and falling to the end of the world.

"I want to join the army, I want to resist Japan, we want to kill devils......"

In front of the 37th Brigade of the National Salvation Division, thousands of young people were surrounded early in the morning, all of them were Nanjing people, who had lost their homes and relatives in the war.

The young men who retreated to Jiangbei also rushed to hear the news, many of them had helped build fortifications on the position, and they also knew a little about protecting their homes and defending the country, so these people naturally became the best alternate soldiers.

The number of people was accumulating more and more, and the person in charge of the 37th Brigade Station couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly called Liao Sen for instructions. Liao Sen didn't have a good way. You can only telegraph to the cold front.

Leng Feng discussed it with Qiu Qingquan. The anti-Japanese enthusiasm of so many people cannot be refused, but the National Salvation Division is absolutely not capable of eating so many soldiers, and only Shangfeng can solve this matter.

Moreover, Shangfeng estimates that young people will also be conscripted into the army, and the shortage is very large.

The telegram was directly sent to the second group in the attendant's room, and Lin Wei immediately forwarded the telegram to Lao Jiang.

Lao Jiang saw that this was a good thing, so many young and strong, with the bitter hatred that their homes were destroyed. If you fight the Japanese, you must be heroic, and there are as many as 20,000 people, which can be reorganized into two B divisions.

Isn't a part of the scattered teaching corps reorganizing the troops in Kaifeng?

Send these 20,000 people to Kaifeng, don't you happen to have soldiers?

However, 20,000 soldiers are not so easy to take, as the saying goes, eat other people's mouths softly, and if you get other people's soldiers, you have to relieve the siege of others. So Lao Jiang sent an order to Gui Yongqing, asking him to send someone to accept the soldiers.

Gui Yongqing took a look. Where is this to accept soldiers, it is clear that he is going to the rescue.

Although it is very dangerous, but you have to go, this capital Anti-Japanese War National Salvation Division is also the old foundation of the teaching corps, if he doesn't go, the officers and soldiers of the teaching corps will be completely chilled.

However, the reorganization work was urgent, and as soon as he left, the work had to stop, so he asked the deputy division commander and Leng Feng's old boss, Zhou Zhenxiang, to take a brigade from Kaifeng and go south along the Longhai Line to support Leng Feng.

Leng Feng didn't expect to be a supporter, but since he came, there was no reason to turn him away.

However, Lao Jiang learned that Gui Yongqing did not go to Pukou in person, and personally called him and scolded him, and only the two people concerned knew what he scolded.

Leng Feng later learned about this from other channels, and his heart was half cold.

Obviously, Lao Jiang asked Gui Yongqing to come over to control the capital's Anti-Japanese War and National Salvation Division and pick peaches, but Gui Yongqing, a fool, failed to understand Lao Jiang's true intentions, but sent Zhou Zhenxiang, who had a good relationship with Leng Feng and Qiu Qingquan.

Zhou Zhenxiang is a major general like Qiu Qingquan, Qiu's position and power are slightly stronger than Zhou when teaching the corps, of course, Zhou is also the brigade commander of the first brigade, so the two are actually not much different, Zhou is Gui's henchman, Qiu is Gui's friend.

Gui Yongqing thinks that Zhou is fine, but Lao Jiang doesn't think so, Qiu's role in Nanjing is very small, and it is Leng Feng who really makes a big effort, if it weren't for Qiu being his old commander, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do with him in Nanjing.

Now that half of the credit has been given to him, it can be regarded as repaying the grace of the promotion.

Qiu is Lao Jiang's student, and he can still use the feelings of teachers and students to maintain it, and he won't do anything too out of line, but Leng Feng is different, when Leng Feng entered the school, Lao Jiang was already the chairman of the committee, the commander of the army, at this time, even if Lao Jiang was still the principal, he was much more estranged than when Huangpu founded the school.

An uncontrollable young general is like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, and he must have a rein to bind him, although Lao Jiang has found this rein, but if he wants to tie him, he has to think a lot.

And now Leng Feng doesn't have the heart to speculate on Lao Jiang's thoughts, it is naturally good to have reinforcements, even if he can't arrive in time, at least he can contain part of the Japanese army's strength, which is also helpful.

Therefore, Leng Feng is still grateful to Zhou Zhenxiang for leading a brigade to help Pukou.

In the face of the indiscriminate shelling and bombardment of the Japanese army, Leng Feng had a plan long before preparing for street fighting, that is, to disperse and cover, no matter how many shells the Japanese army had, it would not be able to cover the entire city of Nanjing.

Many of the fortifications in Nanjing were the best places to avoid the bombardment, and the Japanese did not know the situation in the city, so their bombardment could only be indiscriminate.

Like now, I just want to let off steam.

After firing these shells, it is difficult to say how much of the Japanese army's ability to attack fortifications remains, of course, there are special people who control the number of shells of the Japanese army, and based on this data, it is speculated that the number of shells that the Japanese army may still have.

This is all in charge of professional intelligence staff officers, but there is a shortage of personnel in the National Salvation Division, and sometimes, Leng Feng still needs to deal with it personally, and the workload is amazing.
