After dark, the Japanese army attacked Zijin Mountain and dropped a large number of incendiary bombs. The entire Zijin Mountain was burning, almost turning into a Flame Mountain, with a pungent smell dissipating in the air.

The area around Tongjimen in Yuhua Taichung Huamen was full of fire, and the city of Nanjing was also in chaos, with crowds of people fleeing, and several roads leading to Yijiangmen and Xiaguan.

For the living, in this cold winter, the people of Nanjing have experienced a night that they will never forget for their lives.

The defenders are still resisting. Even if they retreat, they must leave some of the troops to block the enemy, otherwise they will not retreat, but will be defeated.

"Have all the wounded been brought back?"

"I've picked it up. Several seriously injured people have not survived and have left." The second battalion commander Zhu Yaming had just returned from the First Army Hospital, and the hospital is also preparing to evacuate.

At this moment, except for the Second Regiment who had sent people to pick up the wounded soldiers, almost no other troops sent to pick them up.

Inside and outside the First Army Hospital, thousands of wounded soldiers could only be transferred with the hospital. No one knows how many of them survived.

"Where is the thanks group?"

"The doctor said that he was picked up this morning, and he seemed to be from the 87th Division."

It seems that Cheng Yiding has not forgotten his promise to him.

"Lao Leng, in this situation, why don't we take the Xie Tuanhou over?" Luo Yufeng suggested. After all, it might be safer to follow them.

"No, we are breaking through the front. The danger is relatively high. The pedestal is a burn, not a gunshot wound. We have no medicine. The pedestal is following us. It would be better to let him follow the 87th Division." Leng Feng shook his head.

"Lao Leng is right. The group's injuries are not minor. Following the 87th Division's headquarters is safer than following us." Qin Yankun also tends to Leng Feng's opinion.

"Where is Peng Chao?"

"Peng Chao took it back, and the doctor performed surgery on him. However, the high fever did not subside, and the person woke up and fell into a coma for a while."

"Use a cold towel to cool him down. You must not burn your brain. Have you used the antipyretic medicine?" Leng Feng gave an urgent order.

"I used it and the dose was increased. The doctor said it was a wound infection. If there were no antibiotics, he would probably not be able to survive."

“No medicine?”

"There are very shortage of drugs now, especially drugs for treating gunshot wounds and infections."

“Is there a drugstore?”

"Even if there is one, I'm afraid I can't buy it now. The pharmacies on the street are either closed or the boss has run away."

"Look, search from house to house, you must find the medicine for me." Leng Feng said. "This is not only related to Peng Chao's life alone. We all may need extraordinary times and extraordinary means."

"clear"

"Old Leng. Don't worry, Peng Chao will be fine." Luo Yufeng comforted. Peng Chao is a member of the Yaksha Operation Team and has made many contributions. It is natural for Leng Feng to be particularly concerned about it.

Under Leng Feng's leadership, the Second Regiment of the Teaching Corps held an interim military meeting. All officers at the platoon level and above attended. Although the retreat order had not been issued at this moment, Leng Feng could no longer wait.

"The Third Camp is still at the Zhonghua Gate?"

"Now send someone to notify the Third Battalion and let them return to the construction immediately." Leng Feng ordered.

"The battle between the Zhonghua Sect is fierce. I'm afraid I'll withdraw it at this time..." Qin Yankun hesitated for a moment.

"Before ten o'clock at the latest, the third battalion must be built. In addition, we will start to recruit candidates who will stop the Japanese army and prepare for street fighting. The selection criteria are: First, the locals in Nanjing, second, those who are not the only son in the family, third, those who have combat experience are preferred," Leng Feng ordered calmly.

"Does all these three conditions have to be met?"

"No, two conditions are met. In special circumstances, one can be satisfied, and it is necessary to satisfy one, and it is mainly voluntary," Leng Feng explained.

"That's easy."

"Cheng Gang, how many people are left in the first battalion?" Leng Feng asked.

"There are 217 people left in the entire camp." Cheng Gang said.

"Where is the Second Battalion?"

"There are only 136 people left in the Second Battalion..." Zhu Yaming, the Second Battalion Commander, looked dim. The Second Battalion was probably the biggest loss.

"Architecture?"

"One Hundred and Twenty-Four People in the Artillery Battalion"

"Thirty-four people in communication"

"Eighty-seven people in the transport company"

"One Hundred and Eighty-Four People in the Engineer's Battalion"

"The team's health team has six people, and the stretcher has 27 people"

"Seventy-four people in heavy machine gun company..."

"The entire regiment has not yet been built except for the Third Battalion, and the regiment headquarters guards have 27 people, totaling 920 people. If the wounded are included, the entire regiment now has more than 1,300 people."

"By the way, I forgot to count the Yaksha Special Operations Team?" The combat staff scratched their heads embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, just know the approximate number." Leng Feng did not criticize severely. At this time, everyone was in a bad mood, and criticism would affect morale.

"Everyone goes back and tell your brothers clearly that staying may last forever. This time I will not force everyone. If we are willing to stay, we will live and die together. If we are unwilling, I will not force you. The key to soldiers is the essence, not the number of them." Leng Feng said solemnly.

"Although Lao Leng has only been the leader of our regiment for a period of time, his ability is obvious to everyone. Staying here to block and fighting street battles is not only his personal idea, but also a need for the top. To break through and withdraw from Nanjing, someone must stay and sacrifice. Therefore, I hope that after everyone goes back, they will think about it carefully and do the ideological work of their brothers," Qin Yankun said solemnly.

"I know, it is difficult for everyone to choose to stay at this time. To be honest, I, Luo Qianzi, wanted to stay and fight side by side with Lao Leng, but Lao Leng disagreed. He said a lot of reasons, and for the sake of the Second Corps, I can only promise to lead you to break through. This is my responsibility, but I hope that those among you who meet the conditions will stay. This is also the responsibility of a soldier." Luo Yufeng said with red eyes.

It will be dull.

"Appointment, wouldn't we be killed if we stay?"

"Yes. We won't do it if we die."

"Why should we block the other troops?"

...

"Leaving does not mean dying. If you don't have the courage to fight the Japanese, you can choose to break through or retreat." Leng Feng said calmly. His time in the Second Regiment was still short, and even if he established some prestige, people would still have other choices at the critical moment of life and death.

He doesn't blame these people, after all, life is only once, and no one is really not afraid of death at all.

“Cold camp…”

"It's the Leng Tuan. Although Leng Feng has been demoted, he is our team now." Luo Yufeng rebuked the platoon leader who stood up and spoke.

"Yes. We are not afraid of death, but we have to die even if we die, so we are valuable. We can stay. We can't stop the Japanese army from entering the city. What's the point?"

"Good question, I can answer you this question. If I don't tell you the big truth, I will settle the score with you. How many years will it take for a person to be a qualified soldier from birth?"

"It will take at least ten or twenty years, right?"

"Then I will kill a Japanese soldier now, so is there one missing?"

"Yes, but won't they continue to recruit soldiers?" someone retorted.

"Soldiers are first and foremost people. They can indeed recruit soldiers. But people cannot grow up immediately. If we can consume the Japanese army's vitality, the more they kill, the fewer and fewer qualified soldiers will be. In the end, they will not have the population to recruit soldiers. Even if we exchange three people for one, in the end, we will still have people. What about them?"

"We have 400 million people, and Japan. At most, only one quarter of us, and three are replaced by one, then, if we have at least 100 million people alive, China will not perish, and Japan will be completely erased from the earth and will never exist."

"The purpose of my stay is to block the Japanese army, and the brothers win the retreat time, and the second is to fight a street battle with the Japanese army, and use the city we are familiar with as the battlefield to turn it into a place of death for the Japanese army."

"I'll stay with you, welcome you, if you don't follow me, I won't force you, everyone will choose for themselves." Leng Feng looked around and said.

"Dry"

"I'll do it too"

"Why don't you do it? At worst, you'll die. You'll be another hero in 18 years."

Cheng Gang, Liu Guichun, Shang Xiaoying, Huang Yi...

The faces familiar with youth became clear, and Leng Feng felt a little relieved.

Dilingling...

The telephone on the table suddenly rang. At this time, the wired communications in the city had long been cut off, and even the commander of the garrison might not be able to contact the troops below. The water and electricity in the south of the city had long been cut off.

And when the phone rang out suddenly, it must have been called from the position, but the sound of gunfire on the position was not very dense.

That's only...

Leng Feng quickly picked up the phone and put it in his ear: "I am Leng Feng, talk."

"Head, there is movement in the secret passage, come quickly." Wang Bin's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, keep a close watch, I'll arrive right away." Leng Feng hung up the phone, stood up and ordered, "The guard platoon of the regiment headquarters of the Night Inspection Operation Group has a battalion to follow me."

"Lao Leng, is it the other side of the secret passage?"

"Yes, the Japanese army finally couldn't hold back. Our plan could begin." Leng Feng nodded.

"That's great," Luo Yufeng's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

"You guys keep going, I'll come." Leng Feng grabbed the helmet, tied his armed belt, picked up a flower mechanism, and called Wu Xiaoyun and Cheng Gang out together.

"All people are here?"

Wu Xiaoyun nodded. Although there was only one day, the seventeen people temporarily recruited made Wu Xiaoyun look a little soldier-like.

Of course, there are many of them who are soldiers or policemen, which will somewhat accelerate their growth.
