Xuancheng, the New 38th Brigade and Tourism Department.

"Lao Leng called, let us all go north, with the goal of Yuxikou."

"This is very difficult. We are now crowded and there are so many heavy equipment. Once we move, the Japanese will definitely notice it. Besides, where do we cross the river?" Qin Yankun said.

"We don't need to worry about the ships crossing the river. Lao Leng has prepared for us. The journey from Xuancheng to Cixi is long, and the roads and railways are in the hands of the Japanese. If we move, the Japanese will follow us, which will inevitably expose the target." Luo Yufeng said worriedly.

"Yes, but the Japanese army would never have thought that our target was Yuxikou. We could leave a small number of troops to confuse the Japanese army. The main force suddenly turned around and bypassed the Japanese army's defense zone, hiking at night. Lao Luo, what do you think?"

"It's hard. Except for the west retreat passage that has not been blocked, there are Japanese troops on the east, south and north sides, and so many people want to rush out."

"The Nanjing Battle has ended, we can retreat westward, and the Japanese army will definitely not doubt it." Qin Yankun said, "When the Japanese army sees us retreat westward, they will definitely take the opportunity to re-occupate Xuancheng, so that we can quietly go around the south at night."

"It's a good idea, but the Japanese have to believe that we are taking the initiative to evacuate Xuancheng." Luo Yufeng's eyes lit up.

"This is not easy. As long as you make some contraction defense moves, as long as the Japanese commander is not a pig, you should be able to see it."

"Well, okay, don't tell the people below about their real goals, especially those battalions that are affiliated with us. We only say that our mission has been completed and there is no need to fight hard with the Japanese army. We decided to evacuate Xuancheng." Luo Yufeng said.

"good!"

Qin Yankun went down to make arrangements.

"Nani, is the information accurate?"

"Yes, Mr. Commander of the Division, our people were dressed up as Chinese people and approached the investigation and saw their soldiers packing their luggage. It seemed that they wanted to evacuate Xuancheng."

"Yaxi, why did they evacuate on their own initiative?" Tanisuo was transferred to China, and the new 6th Division commander was replaced by Lieutenant General Inaba Shilang.

"The purpose of the new 38th Brigade of the Chinese Army attacking Xuancheng was to drag our 6th Division, so we could not divide our troops to besiege Nanjing. Seeing that all the Chinese army in Nanjing had retreated to Jiangbei, their restraining mission had been completed. If we continue to stay in Xuancheng, it would be eaten by my powerful imperial army. This commander is very clever. In this way, we will re-occupy Xuancheng, and then we will not urgently eliminate these Chinese army." Chief of Staff Shirō Ikho exclaimed.

Inaba Shiro nodded. He was not Tanisuo. If he were Tanisuo, he would definitely not let the New 38th Brigade go easily, because he had suffered a great loss in the New 38th.

Moreover, the strategy of the base camp is now to open up the Jinpu Road and connect North China and Central China, rather than provoking war on the southern line, which would be a battle on the third line. The empire's national strength could not bear it.

"Well, closely monitor the movements of the Chinese army. If they really evacuate Xuancheng, there is no need to pursue them, let them go." Inaba Shiro said.

He had received a secret telegram from Shinji Hata, ordering him to be ready to pull out his troops at any time to go north, but he was restrained by Xin38, and his troops were all in Xuancheng, and there was no extra troops at all.

Once the New 38th Brigade retreats from Xuancheng, he can free up his hands and pull out his troops and head north.

Shinro Hata entered the city. After the search troops confirmed safety, he took his chief of staff, Masasaburo Kawabaka and Deputy Chief of General Staff Akira Muto, and his group took a car to the outside of the Nakayama Gate. When entering the city, he had to transfer to the horses.

The streets and roads in the city have been completely destroyed, and there is no way to take cars and ride horses.

He rode a yellow war horse. The maroon war horse that Matsui Ishigen entered the city was captured by Leng Feng. He took it to Jiangbei and became a spoil.

There was no one else except for the Japanese soldiers who were losing their parents. In broad daylight, there was no one in such a large city, like a ghost town. Hata Shunruo felt a chill on his back for no reason.

The 9th and 3rd Divisions followed closely behind, with a bad look. Fujita Jin seemed to be sick and kept covering his mouth. Ba coughed, and Yoshika Ryosuke was not much better either. He rode on the horse and swayed, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

They once again captured Nanjing City, but unfortunately, this was not what they fought, but what they gave it to them. If they continued to fight in Nanjing City, I don’t know how much price they would pay to win the city.

An empty city.

This was once a capital with 40 million people, but now it is empty.

Did the Empire pay such a great price just to get an empty city?

No one can answer this question.

There are not many intact buildings in the city, and the situation in the north of the city is better. Some buildings have not been damaged by artillery fire. The landmark buildings on Zhongshan North Road, including Du Hotel and Central Hotel, are only somewhat damaged, but not serious.

The sign "Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters" in front of the Du Hotel has long been chopped by Master Guo, the old chef in the kitchen team, as firewood, and now there is nothing on it.

Except for the slogan!

"Fight Japanese imperialism!"

"Resist the country by resisting the war!"

"Little Japan, get out of China!"

The slogan was printed temporarily, and the ink on it seemed that it had not completely dried out.

The big black characters seemed to be written in solidified blood, and in front of these invaders, it was quite dazzling.

"This is the office of the Supreme Lord Asakagumiya. At that time, they were suddenly attacked by an elite small Chinese army. According to our analysis, this small army should be Yasha!"

“Yasha?”

"Yes, if a small army had not invaded, it would be impossible to break the headquarters in a short time with the strength of the Chinese army. At least we could wait for our troops to rescue." Colonel Chang Yong, the former acting chief of staff of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, said with guilt. If he had not attended the pilot's return banquet at the Central Hotel at that time, he would have no chance to stand here.

"Takahashi, how do you see?"

"Col. Nagayong is right. I observed it and they should have come down from the top floor. There are not many people, but they are well-equipped and are all elite samurai." Hiroshi Takahashi said solemnly.

"How about someone better than you?"

"I don't know, I will only know after the fight." Hiroshi Takahashi said, it has been a week since it has been reused here, and many traces have been erased, and there can only be a rough judgment.

It was just that intuition told him that he had encountered an unprecedented strong opponent, and he was not much more capable than the instructors he trained in Germany.

"Based on the information we have obtained, Lord Chaoxiang Palace has been transferred to Chongqing and I don't know where to be detained."

"Baga, waste!"

"Hayi!"

"Takahashi, besides Lord Asakagumi, I have many imperial elites in the hands of the Chinese people on the other side, including our diplomats and officers. I am now locked in their prisoner-of-war camp. I want to rescue them. What are you going to do?"

"Mr. Commander, I don't think I can do it now." Takahashi Hiroshi said.

"What?" Hata Shunruo couldn't help but tremble his eyebrows, and his weak body seemed to turn into a ferocious jackal, sweeping over Takahashi Hiro's face fiercely.

"If the other party is an ordinary Chinese army, Takahashi is sure to rescue people, but the other party is Yasha, Takahashi is not sure."

"Takahashi, are you still an Imperial** person? Are you still an Imperial Warrior?" Changyong rebuked excitedly.

"Colonel Changyong, I am the Emperor*, there is no doubt about this, but I cannot let my soldiers go to die with me. If we had not been exposed, there was still a little hope. Now that we have been exposed, do you think the Chinese people will be unaware of their guard?" Takahashi Hiroshi retorted fiercely.

"Then you can't watch the elites of the empire be insulted by the Chinese people like this?"

"China has always regarded itself as a benevolent country. The elites of the empire are nothing more than grievances, but they will not be in danger of their lives. Perhaps they can be rescued through other methods. Diplomats and expatriates are not war personnel. I think China will not be so arrogant. What about the world's prejudice against my expatriates and diplomats?"

"Think about how we deal with their civilians?"

"In this way, it will be solved well."

"Okay, let me know, I will hold a military meeting. All senior officers above the Nanjing Colonel are participating, and no one is allowed to be absent!" Hata Shunji raised his hand and ended the resultless debate.

He accepted such a mess and how to get started, it was a mess. There was also the 13th Division in Jiangbei. Judging from the current situation, it was also in danger, and the troops turned offensive to defense.

Pukou has been occupied by the Chinese team and must be taken away immediately. Otherwise, once the Chinese army gains a foothold, the 13th Division will be in danger.

However, if you want to cross the river, you must have a boat. There is no need to think about the ships near Nanjing. All the ships were taken to Jiangbei by the national rescuer. If you cross the river directly from Nanjing, there must be artillery cover, so warships are indispensable. These are also equipped with ammunition and various supplies.

With such a calculation, it is probably impossible to cross the river in less than three or five days.

Pukou, National Rescue Command.

"The jungle wolf reports that Hata Shunruo has entered Nanjing."

"I know, I think he doesn't dare to enter Nanjing." Leng Feng smiled and put down the documents in his hand, and couldn't help but tease him, "I heard that Hata Shunruo is a sick old man, who looks like an addict?"

"That's right, this old guy was hit in the lungs by a bullet during the Russo-Japanese War, and then he became like this. However, after being injured, he began to make a fortune, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise." Qiu Qingquan said with a smile.

"This time I'm afraid I won't be a blessing in disguise."

Ha ha

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"The secret service regiment commander Xie Jiyuan reported that he had ordered the first battalion to go to Tangquan Town to prepare defense and can arrive as early as noon today." The communications officer came in and said.

"knew."

"I'm very quick."

"He has been in the British Concession for three months, and now he is like a tiger venting a cage. Why don't he breathe a few times?" Leng Feng smiled, "Now he is the only way to let him fight the Japanese, he is more active than anyone else."
