Chapter 60: Prepare for Street Fighting

"The second team is gone!"

After receiving this message, Kengo Noda shivered and almost fainted. Before that, he had just received a message from Major Inoue.↖

Did the Second Battalion capture the 151th Highland of the Chinese Army and take a springboard to attack the Tiger Cave Highland?

Why did it take less than half an hour to receive the news that the Second Battalion was wiped out?

Since the war started, no Japanese army has been eliminated in an organization. It is a brigade. On the battlefield in North China, it can beat any Chinese army without any disadvantage.

The second brigade was affiliated to the Katatong United team to launch an attack on the southern foot of Zijin Mountain. According to the principle of battlefield allocation, the second brigade actually did not directly belong to Noda command.

However, there were conflicts within the Japanese army. The second battalion had a disadvantage in attack, so Inoue finally asked for help from its direct commander.

Instead of the Captain of the Ninth United Team.

In fact, Kataki didn't care about the Second Battalion. His own direct troops were attacking Xishan, Weigangnan and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and many other strategic points were also frustrated, and they suffered huge losses. They could not draw forces to support Inoue.

The Chinese Army Guidance Corps that defended Purple Mountain is indeed much harder to fight than those miscellaneous local troops.

Colonel Kataki Goro's life is not better than that of Noda!

Noda also led a large group of infantry and attacking troops around the eastern foot of Zijin Mountain and attacked towards Qixia Mountain and Yaohuamen. Of course, he also encountered tenacious resistance and the progress was not smooth.

Muto Akira waited on the road in front of Zhongshan Gate for two hours. What he expected was that the scene of the Zhong** team surrendering with the white flag did not appear.

What I waited for was Matsui Ishione's order to attack Nanjing City from Gusu!

The Chinese defenders in Nanjing will not surrender. Wuto Akira felt lost and regretful. He got on the jeep when he came and returned to Gusu the same way.

Gu Shoufu shattered his steel teeth on Yuhuatai. The huge casualties made this cruel old Japanese suspect that he would die in the city of Nanjing!

The Japanese army has actually reached the brink of a limit.

The Chinese defenders who guarded the city did not know about these, Tang Mengxiao did not know about them, and Lao Jiang did not know about these. If they knew about them, there would probably be no order to retreat like a joke.

In peace, the waves were surging, and it was the eve of the storm.

The guns and cannons in the direction of Guanghua Gate have not stopped yet, and the Japanese Kinazawa Division is still attacking fiercely, as if it will not stop until it takes down Guanghua Gate.

“What a pity…”

"What a pity?" Luo Yufeng was a little confused. He just used one platoon, one heavy machine gun squad, and one gun platoon, which totaled only fifty or sixty people, to withstand the crazy attack of a Japanese brigade for a whole day.

In the end, he even blew up the sky. What else are you not satisfied with?

I have fought hard all day, and the casualties are greater than you, and I have killed many Japanese soldiers, but the results are far worse than you.

Luo Yufeng felt a little sour jealousy in his heart.

"It's a pity that my sneak attack plan has been done. Do you think the Japanese commander is getting confused? Why are you rushing to death all over?" Leng Feng sighed.

"It's a pity for you to do this?" Luo Yufeng was amused and crying. He really wanted to punch Leng Feng and behave like he was good at getting the advantage.

"It's a pity that I failed to seize an Assistant Sword. At that time, I'll give you a gift to Lao Luo, how powerful?" Leng Feng said with a smile.

"That's true. The Japanese sword is good. I've wanted to make one for a long time. It's a pity." Luo Yufeng really wanted to make one, but unfortunately he didn't meet it.

"Didn't you say you captured three Japanese prisoners? Where are you?"

"I can still take care of them after the war is like this, so I'll shoot them long ago!" Leng Feng replied casually.

"I'm really dead, have I reported it to the headquarters?" Luo Yufeng said, "If Shangfeng knows this, it will be difficult to explain."

"I just want to explain it. I just want the Japanese to bomb it and kill it. Isn't it over? Just let the Japanese army massacre our prisoners of war. We can't kill their prisoners of war?"

"That's a prisoner of war?"

"Even my brothers can't care about it, so how can I have the time to care about their life or death!"

"Forget it, this is not a big deal, and the superiors will not really pursue it." Luo Yufeng said.

"Lao Luo, I don't know what the situation in other places is going on this day. Can you tell me?" Leng Feng picked up a box of cigarettes on the table, lit a match, lit it, and took a sip.

Smoking is not good, but this is indeed a way to relieve stress. Leng Feng didn't smoke before.

But after a few days of coming here, I got used to this thing.

This is being assimilated, and something is needed to relieve inner pressure.

"The 114th Japanese Division started attacking Yuhuatai yesterday morning and was repelled by our army many times. In the early morning of this day, the 6th Japanese Division joined the battle. Our army fought hard for a whole morning. Under the suppression of the enemy's powerful firepower, our army had to retreat to the second-line position. Zhu Chi, the commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, unfortunately died... The 9th Division attacked Guanghua Gate. The first part of our 1st Brigade 2nd Regiment, the 261st Brigade of the 87th Division and the reinforced Gendarmerie Teaching Regiment. The fierce battle has been fought so far, and the city gate has been almost broken by the Japanese army, and Xie's pedestal was burned by flames."

"Is the troop injured?" Leng Feng couldn't help but cast a shadow in his heart. He knew Xie Chengrui. If history had not changed, he would be trampled to death by the scattered soldiers when he retreated.

This is a tragedy, a tragedy that is hard to let go.

There is also Luo Yufeng, he seems to be unable to escape.

"The Garrison Command has issued the combat order No. 36 of Weisan. This is the original text of the order, you can take a look." Luo Yufeng handed Leng Feng a sloppy order, which was obviously not the original one, but was copied.

"In order to defend Nanjing, our army currently occupy the Fukuo position, the final battle to defend it, all troops should do their best to survive and perish with the position, and never give up their inch of land and shake the entire army. If they fail to follow the order and move back without authorization, they will follow the orders of the commission and handle it strictly according to the law of joint seats.

All ships obtained by each army shall be handed over to the Transportation Command for safekeeping, and shall not be detained privately. The commander of the 78th Army, Song Xilian, was sent to command the command. Along the river, the police strictly prohibited the troops from crossing the river by boat, and those who violated the violations will be arrested and punished strictly. If they dare to resist, they will be stopped by force."

"Isn't this a fool?" Although Leng Feng had known that there was such an order, he was still very angry when he saw it with his own eyes.

"Brother Leng, this is a battle against the enemy. If you don't succeed, you will be successful!"

"We soldiers can die in the battlefield, there is no problem, but the civilians in the city, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, shouldn't they die with us, right?" Leng Feng's mood was a little out of control for a moment.

"Civilians, although the Japanese bombing caused many civilian casualties, once they occupied Nanjing, the safety of civilians should be guaranteed." Luo Yufeng was stunned for a moment, not understanding that Leng Feng would be so excited.

"I'm afraid things will go against my wishes." Leng Feng snorted coldly. He was a little-behaved and had no chance to go to the sky to speak, but it was related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people. He was worried inside.

"Brother Leng, you and my soldiers, obey the command of the Shangfeng, obey the orders, and do your own things well."

"The orders to go up the peak have always been changed every day. Are there any losses in the Battle of Songhu?" Leng Feng sneered.

After arguing with the withdrawal, the sudden order was postponed for three days, disrupting the deployment of the front line. As a result, the front line soldiers were at a loss and caused a great defeat. The chairman probably had to bear great responsibility!

Maybe he still dreams of mediating peace talks?

Luo Yufeng sighed. As a lower-level officer, even if he was dissatisfied with the matter above, he couldn't say anything.

"Lao Luo, we cannot let the Japanese lead the nose, nor can we let the life of the upper peak interfere with us." Leng Feng's eyes flashed.

"Brother Leng, what do you want to do?" Luo Yufeng was startled. He had made such a great military achievements just now, so don't do anything. By then, there will be nothing left.

"The order from the top is right, let's listen, if it's wrong, we don't listen. As for the Japanese, from now on, we will make the worst plans." Leng Feng said.

"Although the words are good, what are we preparing for?" Luo Yufeng frowned slightly. He was not the kind of foolish and loyal person. Leng Feng's words were not unreasonable. There is no way to stick to the rules in war. Besides, can you understand the instant changes in the battlefield at the top of the peak?

"Prepare to fight street battles with the Japanese army!"

"Street Battle." Luo Yufeng's fingers couldn't help but tremble. Street battles were the cruelest of all war forms, no doubt about them.

Street fighting is a contest of willpower, and the complex urban environment will offset the absolute advantages brought by all high-tech weapons.

"Yes, street fighting, from the perspective of the situation, the battle in the city wall can last for up to two or three days. Nanjing City is already an isolated city. Once the Japanese army crosses the Yangtze River from Wuhu, advance north along the Yangtze River coast, and occupy Pukou, our only retreat will be cut off. At that time, the military and civilians in the city will be out of ammunition and food, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken." Leng Feng analyzed.

"We are soldiers, and we will definitely fight the last soldier. Surrender is impossible, so we must make the worst plan." Leng Feng said.

“Can’t we break through?”

"Once the Japanese army surrounded all over the world, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians had only one exit like Xiaguan, how could they break out?"

"Are there any other places? For example, Yanziji, Jiangxinzhou is still in the hands of our army. The Japanese warships have a draft and have not yet opened up the waterway of Jiangyin..."

"I mean the people in the city have only three passages to enter and exit Nanjing City, Yijiang Gate, Zhongshan Gate and Taiping Gate. The reason why Zhongshan Gate is not closed is because we are still in Zijin Mountain. If it is sealed, we will become an isolated army outside the city. There is no Japanese army found outside the Taiping Gate. At that time, the passage for retreating from the periphery will be left for the Japanese army to siege. Once the Japanese army siege, the best direction for the soldiers to break through the siege. As long as they rush out, the rear of the Japanese army is empty and they can completely break out of the encirclement." Leng Feng said.

"That's right."

"But this is unrealistic. Once the retreat order is issued on the top of the peak, I am afraid that everyone will flock to the direction of the Shuguan, because there are only ships there. Once they get on the ship and arrive on the other side, it will be safe before the Japanese army arrives. This is the smoothest retreat route. People seek benefits and avoid harm. If it were you, Lao Luo, what choice would you make?"

"Of course, this one left from Yijiangmen and went to Xiaguan to retreat to Jiangbei!" Luo Yufeng asked without hesitation.

"If we follow the steps, the problem will be solved easily. Send people to block the Japanese army while retreating. Hundreds of thousands of people retreated to Jiangbei, which will only take two or three days to do it."

"But if we can't do it, what will happen? Think about how we retreated all the way in the Battle of Songhu?"

When Luo Yufeng heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Leng Feng’s speculation is not impossible, but very likely.

In this way, the tragedy will be unimaginable.
