Tangshan Artillery School, the command center of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, is brightly lit here and the atmosphere is a bit solemn. +◆

Because of his injury and the need for generals on the front line, Nakajima did not go to Sui to attend a secret military mobilization meeting.

However, he also held a military meeting at his division headquarters.

All the brigades, major and above all officers attended. Of course, there was no less brigade captain Ichiro Inoue, the captain of the Second Brigade of the Noda United.

Because he can no longer attend this military meeting.

The 16th Division was transferred from the battlefield in North China to the Central China Front Army when the Battle of Shanghai encountered unprecedented setbacks. Wherever it went, it was unstoppable.

Nakajima Imago had long dreamed of being the first to enter Nanjing City, believing that this honor must belong to him.

I never thought that before I arrived in Nanjing, I was under Jurong City and gave him a blow.

The advancing squadron was lured by the Central ** team and was wiped out by an ambush circle. Then, the third chariot brigade was attacked by the "ghost" chariot lying behind him in front of the formation, and the army was defeated.

Not only did the ghost chariot be found, it appeared in Xiaohuangzhuang again, but the command center was dismissed.

After losing troops and losing generals one after another, Nakajima was about to drive his body crazy.

Until now, the Chinese officer who is "Leng Feng" still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Now, the troops are advancing to the foot of Zijin Mountain, and they are about to take down the honors of hundreds of the most elite troops of the Army and the Central Training Corps of the Army.

Who would have thought that a small 151 high ground actually made him lose an elite infantry brigade in one breath.

Even if he was not satisfied with the editor, there were seven or eight hundred people. Such a huge loss almost made him faint.

The superiors were already dissatisfied with his defeat in the attack and severely scolded him several telegrams.

He fell in the office of the command center, then wailed for nearly half an hour before being helped out by the adjutant.

No one dared to come forward to touch this bad head. Lord Nakajima likes to burn people the most, and he also brings gasoline that specifically burns people to death. This is the most terrifying thing about burning fire.

"Everyone, what do you think of the situation in front of you?" Nakashima Imago could only sit down with half of his butt next to the chair. When the wound was torn, he couldn't help but tremble his lips, as if he wanted a sick and terminally ill old man.

The generals and officers of the 16th Division were sitting in a daze. They knew their division commanders too well and would not die for a while.

He has been the head of a secret policeman. I don’t know how many black materials there are in his hands. Who dares to move easily?

"Secretary Commander, our army has been fighting for several days, and the soldiers are exhausted. Can you ask Commander Matsui to rest and replenish the battle?" Chief of Staff Mito Nakazawa carefully took it.

"I don't agree with Nakazawa Jun." The commander of the hot 30th Brigade, Sasaki, stood up and shouted, "The war is about to win, and suddenly stopped and gave the Chinese army a breather. The military strategy said: One round of energy will decline again, and three out. We will seize Shanghai, take advantage of the victory and conquer Nanjing. If we stop at this time, even if we can siege Nanjing a dead city, we will have to pay a greater price to capture this city!"

"What Sasaki Jun said makes sense. At this time, we cannot stop. Our casualties will be more casualties for the Chinese people. Our weapons and equipment are much stronger than the Chinese army and we also have air supremacy. There is no problem in taking down the Zijin Mountain in one fell swoop." Colonel Susun Kawashiji, the captain of the 38th Regiment, said.

"Kun Kataki, what do you think? Your army is the main attacker today, so there is nothing to say?"

"The one who defends Zijin Mountain is the most elite teaching corps of the Chinese army. Its military qualities are not worse than those of our empire's soldiers. We have already competed on the battlefield of Songhu. This is a well-equipped team that is difficult to deal with. They also rely on favorable terrain. For our army, every step forward requires a considerable price. Therefore, I agree with Zhongze Jun's opinion, rest and replenish the troops, and fight again."

"No, you must never stop!" Kengo Noda stood up like a wounded beast, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he slammed hard on the table.

"Noda, please pay attention to the etiquette."

"Sir, I think the Chinese army is at the end of its strength. Although their desperate counterattack caused our army to suffer huge losses, they also used up their potential. This is their weakest time. If we give them a chance to breathe, the consequences will be quite terrible. The Chinese army had no intention of sticking to Nanjing, so we pieced together a miscellaneous army to fight against the empire. If we stop first, not only will the base camp question whether our strategy of attacking Nanjing is correct, but the Chinese people will also see through our reality. At that time, not only will we rest and fight again, but the tragedy of our 200,000 troops being surrounded by the Chinese army and being eliminated!"

"Noda Jun said it right. Once we stop, we will give the Chinese army time to dispatch troops and form an encirclement to us. Don't think that the Chinese people are not able to do this. This is on their territory. Only by fighting quickly, occupying Nanjing, and defeating the Chinese army's will to resist can we force them to surrender to the empire!" Nakajima Imago showed a smile of admiration. Noda still understands strategy.

"Thank you, Commander of the Division!"

"At this time, I'm not here to listen to your complaints. Everyone knows the No. 8 combat order of the base camp. Attacking Nanjing, the capital of the country, is the fundamental purpose of our battle. Therefore, you must not be lazy. As long as you survive, the flower world in Nanjing will belong to us. At that time, the fine wine and beauty will be allowed to be obtained!" A hot fire flashed in Ashiko Nakajima's eyes.

"But Mr. Commander of the Division, we will continue to replenish ammunition and soldiers now." Kataki Goro said anxiously.

"There will be ammunition and there will be soldiers. Don't worry, the Front Army Command has sent a call to the country and recruited a group of retired soldiers to re-enter the army. It will board the ship from Japan within three to five days." Nakajima Imao said.

After hearing what Nakajima said, these generals were relieved. They didn't know that their division commander was lying, and there was no recruitment of retired soldiers at all. Even if there were, there wouldn't be too many.

There are so many divisions waiting to replenish their troops, but not only the 16th Division.

The Japanese army was busy holding meetings, and the Nanjing Garrison Command was also busy holding a staff meeting to discuss how to deal with the subsequent battle to defend the city.

In the basement of the Ministry of Railways, Chief of Staff Zhou Lan presided over the meeting. The attendees were staff officers and representatives of various troops.

Most of these people can discuss what they can only bring an opinion and then bring the words back.

As for what will be done by each parent, God knows.

However, at this critical moment of life and death and defending the capital, local troops and the Central Army were able to let go of their prejudices and overcome the national crisis together. Only a few people rely on their experience and have ulterior motives.

The battle has not stopped. Inside and outside Guanghua Gate, the 19th Regiment of the Japanese Ninth Division was still attacking Guanghua Gate. They had been fighting fiercely for a whole day. They once opened a gap with heavy artillery and rushed up, causing the defending city-guarding team to block back.

There were countless casualties and injuries, and the entire Guanghua Gate was almost covered by the corpses of soldiers from both China and Japan. The gaps that were blown away were not enough, so they were blocked directly with the corpses, which shows how tragic the situation was.

The meeting made a decision to add the 156th Division of the 83rd Army to support Guanghuamen.

Guanghua Gate, Leng Feng knew that it was a place that the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the Teaching Corps could not get around. After Leng Feng detonated the 151 Highland, he called and asked about the battle situation in the Tiger Cave Highland, but did not give any instructions.

If the Tiger Cave cannot be defended, unless the Japanese army changes its current strategy, the next one to be lost is the Tiger Cave Highland.

Moreover, he has delayed the fall of the Tiger Cave Highlands.

That's why he said those words to Luo Yufeng, so that he could prepare early and not panic in everything.

At the same time, Leng Feng also made a decision that he had been brewing in his mind for a long time, that is, once Nanjing is occupied by the Japanese army, he will stay.

Fight a life-and-death street battle with the Japanese army.

All of this requires the support of Luo Yufeng, because he doesn't know how long he can last, and it requires personnel, weapons and ammunition, food supplies, etc.

Of course, what he hopes most is that Luo Yufeng can work with him.

"At the latest morning tomorrow, the Japanese army will definitely bomb and shell the Tiger Cave Highlands crazily. Today they have used armor-piercing bombs. How effective is this ammunition to damage for fortifications and personnel? Lao Luo, you have seen that if we stick to the highlands, no one will survive in the end." Leng Feng analyzed.

"You mean, give up on Tiger Cave Heights?"

"Yes, give up the Tiger Cave and turn to the second peak."

"You'll leave without a shot?"

"Leave a small number of troops to observe nearby and evacuate the camera."

"Well, you can consider it, but you must get the consent of Shangfeng, otherwise you will act without authorization and disobey the military order."

"Did you agree to the summit?"

"this……"

"Then why not bury explosives in the Tiger Cave Highlands, and wait for the Japanese army to come up, we..."

"Everything is a must. I can guarantee that even if the Japanese army blows up the tiger cave, they will not dare to come up easily. Therefore, it is meaningless to stay here, so it is better to withdraw as soon as possible."

"But I will pursue it like this..."

"It doesn't matter, just say that our unit has suffered heavy casualties, and all fortifications were destroyed by the Japanese army. There is no danger to defend, so you can only retreat."

"Isn't this a cheating on the top?" Luo Yufeng's eyes widened. Isn't this too bold?

"Old Luo, Shangfeng also knows that the tiger cave cannot be guarded. How long can we guard it? As long as we report it with sufficient reasons, Shangfeng will not be serious at this time. Are our previous achievements fake?" Leng Feng smiled.

"Oh, Brother Leng, you really dare to do it."

"This is called flexibility and maneuver. We do this to preserve our strength and attack the enemy." Leng Feng said.

"Do you want to tell me about this matter with the Third Battalion of the Fifth Regiment?"

"Of course, there are some things to say, and some things that cannot be said." Leng Feng reminded.

"I understand, you don't need to say it."

"Du Chong, Zhuang Tao, you can temporarily be assigned to the teaching corps. How about it when you have the opportunity to return to the building?"

"Let's listen to Chief Leng." Leng Feng's outstanding command and battle deeply impressed the two of them, and it was not bad to stay in the teaching team.

"That's good. Du Chong will be the deputy company of the first company and serve as the deputy company for Cheng Gang. Zhuang Tao will go to the acting platoon leader of the first line to get to know you. He will withdraw from the position soon!"

"Captain Leng, are you going to give up the Tiger Cave position?"

"It's not about giving up, it's about turning in, and staying there is a target for the Japanese army." Leng Feng explained.
