The "Four Elements Demon King" appeared in Niushou Mountain, and the night attack of his troops caused the Sixth Division to suffer a great loss.

In the quiet office, Yanagawa Heisuke sat silently behind a sandalwood desk. The faint scent of sandalwood emanates faintly from the shiny lacquered table.

The floor was tiled, the fire burned quietly in the fireplace, and the occasional loud popping sound of firewood in the lazy flames.

It was a bungalow that served as a headquarters and belonged to a Chinese merchant. He built this three-story bungalow in the countryside according to the specifications of the city.

To Yanagawa Heisuke's incomprehension, when the army drove to his door, the guy waved a small flag at the door to greet him. He also claimed that his family's business was selling Japanese goods in the concession, so he had been looking forward to the arrival of the Japanese army for a long time.

It's a pity that his family is too rich, especially his wives and daughters are very beautiful.

And then......

As a high-ranking officer, Yanagawa Heisuke certainly didn't think that soldiers should do such a thing. But it was also killing a Chinese merchant, which is nothing.

"Hahahaha......"

The woman's crazy shrill laughter came from afar, and he could even imagine how the soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield would torture the weak women to release their psychological pressure from the fierce battlefield.

Even the daughter of that family is a graduate of Waseda University in Japan.

It's a pity girl, but who made her a Chinese. Compared to what happened to her, it was not a big deal for the soldiers who had experienced the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield to relax properly.

In his bones, of course, he looked down on such businessmen, and as a radical faction of the Japanese military, he believed that the Great Japanese Empire should replace the unenterprising Chinese, who did not deserve to occupy this land at all.

It's an opponent like the "Four Elements Demon King......

But that guy is a German, not a Chinese, and even the Chinese themselves look down on him...... No, that guy wouldn't have thought that in his heart, otherwise he shouldn't have risked his fortune here at this time.

Then when he came to China, did he seek wealth, fame, official or ......

Seeking fame, it seems that being a general in Germany will be more famous and admirable.

Seeking ...... Being a general in Germany would also be more senior than the official position under the chairman.

Of course, that guy is not for money and women, that German is really an incomprehensible guy.

Reaching out to bring the fragrant tea on the table, the somewhat tired Yanagawa Heisuke leaned back in the chair. He knew that by allowing his 6th, 18th, and 114th divisions to attack privately, he would bear his "guilt" in the future.

But this is nothing, as long as China is occupied. In other words, as long as it gained a firm foothold in the rich coastal areas of China, it would be more suitable for the needs of the Great Japanese Empire than Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean, which the navy expected.

As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, is there a more glorious and noble choice than this, history will give the Tenth Army a correct evaluation.

The Four Elements Demon King, you and I are both patriots, and now we are conducting between patriots, noble and samurai...... Well, you are German, then also a battle with knightly glory.

After thinking about it slowly, he left the back of his chair, took out a piece of letterhead, and began to write, the order that was to be sent to the 18th Division, asking them to go forward and prepare for a full-scale attack on Niushou Mountain.

In addition, on the basis of the suggestion reported by Gu Shoufu, the 114th Division was transferred to attack the positions of the 58th Division on Jiangjun Mountain and Guanyin Mountain from the east side. The 6th Division attacked Jinling City in the direction of Dashengguan and cut off the land connection between Niushou Mountain and Jinling City, and then occupied and encircled its remnants with the 18th Division.

After writing the orders assigned to the three divisions, I always felt that there was something shortcoming. After thinking about it carefully, he wrote a few more words on the order of the 18th Division - must, must, be cautious, be cautious!!

And his order was clearly suitable, and the expected result appeared in the battle situation of the following day.

In the private residence of Tang Shengzhi, the "commander of Tang monks" in Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi also thought of Zhang Sixing.

He really wanted to talk to the young man if he could. It's a pity that even after sending a few telegrams, the other party only replied with "the front-line war is tight, and the lowly generals will do their duty to defend Niushou Mountain to the death."

In the chairman's government, which pays the most attention to seniority and networking, such an officer will never have a bright future, and no matter how he can fight. No one is perfect, and there is always something wrong with it.

When I got up early in the morning, I was not in a hurry to go to the Jinling Garrison Headquarters to start work. Instead, you have to have a nice breakfast, take a walk in the garden, and then talk about the office.

Hmph, they are all the descendants of the chairman, and if you don't listen to Lao Tzu's orders, then Lao Tzu will nail you to one key point after another, and see if you still listen to orders.

Now even the headmaster of your paratrooper school, a little major, doesn't listen to Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu called you here to put gold on your face, to show your face in all walks of life, to look good, to carry your collar and pull you up.

As soon as he remembered Zhang Sixing's lack of face, his thin face twitched with anger.

Alas, having the ability is a bit of a skill, but it is too arrogant, you need to know that there are people outside the world, and there are geniuses outside the world.

The night before yesterday, with 500 soldiers, he defeated several Japanese brigades, and the Japanese suffered thousands of casualties. It is said that he robbed the Japanese tank squadron and cavalry, so he acted quickly and strangely, and succeeded in attacking the flank of the Japanese front.

Last night, he and the guard battalion of the 88th Division went out to attack the Japanese 114th Division's garrison, killing more than 800 men.

If all the troops fought like these two troops, then the defense of Jinling would not be a very worry-free thing.

At this moment, I regretted a little in my heart, and when discussing the tactical arrangements related to the defense of Jinling before the war, some people suggested that the high point should be fixed to the mountain army. Then take advantage of the uneven battle line and attack the enemy's flank with strong forces.

At that time, he considered that most of the defenders of Jinling were troops who had retreated from the Songhu battlefield. The morale of the troops was low and they would not be able to fight, and the recruits who were replenished were all strong men who were in a hurry, and many of the soldiers had not even touched their guns, so it was difficult for them to carry out complex tactical maneuvers.

But who would have thought that there would be such a strong force as the paratrooper school and the 58th Division.

But now this matter has not changed, after all, the deployment of the evenly deployed armies has been completed, and any further change will only be afraid that the armies will be chaotic, and it will be easier for the Japanese army to take advantage of it.

"Alas......"

Sighing in the cold morning, he stretched out his fingers and scratched the top of his head. The defense everywhere is really weak everywhere, and I am afraid that the defense line on the flat ground will not be able to hold it.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly an adjutant hurried over with a battle report,

"Last night, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army launched a diversionary attack on Niushou Mountain, and the 58th Division was pinned down and attacked by the enemy's 114th Division. The enemy's 6th Division broke through the defense line of the 60th Army, causing Banqiao to be ordered to lose the defense line of Dashengguan. The junction of the southern and eastern fronts was the breakthrough of the enemy's 9th Division ......"

It was December 8, 1937, and it was only two days after the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee evacuated Nanjing to the Jiangcheng Headquarters.
