Speaking of this, Tsukada Oku suddenly remembered something again and said, "But, Lord General, there is something quite strange."

Matsui Ishione: "What's the matter?"

Tsukada Attack said: "That's right. After the battle to kill the enemy began, I was worried that the soldiers of the imperial army from each front line, from each detachment, would use the Chinese civilians and even the Chinese women and children in the city to make up for the numbers."

"This is inevitable." Matsui Ishione said, "It is impossible to not affect civilians in any battle. Even women and children, as long as they hold sharp blades, they can still pose a threat to the soldiers of the Imperial Army. It is natural to kill them."

"Hayi! Your Excellency General," Tsukadachi paused his head and said, "What's strange is that after the competition began, the soldiers of the Imperial Army rarely had records of hunting Chinese civilians. In the past two days, most of the tens of thousands of people hunted were Chinese soldiers! After a search, I found out that the soldiers of the Imperial Army did not find a few Chinese civilians."

"It's nothing strange." Matsui Ishigen picked up a white piece and slapped it on the chessboard, and said, "Before the Imperial Army besieged Nanjing, most of the Chinese people in the city had escaped, and there were not many people left. Now, as the Chinese defenders retreated to a corner of the Confucius Temple, if nothing unexpected happens, the Chinese people should have hid in that neighborhood."

After a pause, Matsui Ishien said again: "After all, the imperial army has surrounded Nanjing and it is impossible for the Chinese people in Nanjing to turn into birds and fly out of the city, uh!"

Speaking of this, Matsui Ishigen's voice stopped abruptly.

Tsukada Otsuki's face also changed suddenly, and he said sternly: "The Chinese people cannot turn into birds and fly out of the city, but they may turn into mice and sneak out of the city from the tunnel!"

"Baga!" Matsui Ishigen gritted his teeth, "Send troops to search for the tunnel exit immediately!"

"Your Excellency General, don't be so troublesome!" Tsukada attacked, "I know where the tunnel exit is!"

"Oh?" Matsui Ishione said in surprise, "Tsukada-kun, do you know where the tunnel exit is?"

"Hayi!" Tsukadada said, "God General, do you still remember that this morning the aviation army reported that a large number of Chinese refugees were found near Moling Pass in Gaojiaqiao, dozens of miles south of Nanjing?"

"Suoga!" Matsui Ishione said suddenly, "Tsukada-kun, what do you mean?"

"Hayi!" Tsukada Oku paused his head and said, "I was wondering why there were so many Chinese refugees near Gaojiaqiao and Moling Pass? Now I suddenly realized that these Chinese refugees were clearly Nanjing citizens who escaped from the tunnel!"

After a pause, Tsukada Ota continued: "So, the authentic exit can only be in the south of the city, and there must be dense forests around the exit. The only thing that meets these two points is Yuhuatai!"

"Baga, Yuhuatai?" Matsui Ishigen gritted his teeth, "Order, the 11th Division, the 101st Division immediately attacked and completed the encirclement of Yuhuatai from both wings, hurry up!"

"Hayi!" Tsukada Ota slammed his head.

...

In Confucius Temple, the 367th Regiment is in a fierce battle with the Japanese.

At ten o'clock in the evening, He Yunpeng came to Zhong Yi with blood on his face and said miserably: "The team can't stand it anymore!"

"Go back!" Zhong Yi was unmoved at all and said coldly, "Listen, if you can't stand it, you have to hold it back. If you can't fight, you are not allowed to take a step back!"

"Yes!" He Yunpeng roared and turned around and walked back.

Zhong Yi turned around and shouted, "Deputy Zhang Tuan? Zhang Buwu? Zhang Buwu?!"

After shouting three times, Zhang Buwucai, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Defense Zone, hurried over: "Room seat?"

"How is it?" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "How long will it take for your troops to withdraw?"

Zhang Buwudao: "Report to the troop seat, all the troops in the Southeast Defense Zone have entered the tunnel!"

"All withdrawal? OK!" Zhong Yi nodded, turned back to Zhao Hanxing, and Chi Peng shouted, "Daozi, Dapeng, immediately notify the battalions and companies, enter the tunnel one by one in the original order, and withdraw!"

"Yes!" Chi Peng and Zhao Hanxing agreed and sent the order separately.

Soon, the last five main battalions and two guard companies of the 367th Regiment entered the tunnel one after another. However, at this time, the main force, which had already totaled nearly 10,000 people, was only less than two thousand left!

Inspired by the battle to kill enemies, the Japanese were simply crazy!

In less than half an hour, the main force of the 367th Regiment entered the tunnel one after another. Zhao Hanxing's guards walked in the last line. After entering the tunnel, he detonated the previously buried explosive without hesitation and blew the entrance to the tunnel.

However, when the main force of the 367th Regiment came out from the exit of Yuhua Taipei, the Japanese had already surrounded them.

Especially the Japanese who surrounded the left side of Yuhuatai, because there was a highway maneuver and the speed was extremely fast!

Zhong Yi estimated that there was a total of the Japanese soldiers who surrounded them from the left. If the Japanese soldiers were allowed to go around to the southern foot of Yuhuatai, not only would the main force of the 367th Regiment be finished, but even Zhang Buwu's more than 5,000 remaining soldiers could not escape!

This is not the worst. The worst thing is that if the road is not blocked and the Japanese are allowed to move along the road, even the troops that left the city before will be caught up by the Japanese. After all, human legs cannot escape the wheels of cars!

Zhong Yi estimated that he would need to hold on for at least four hours before the troops who had left the city could be evacuated.

As long as the troops are evacuated, it will be safe, because no matter how powerful the Japanese are, they cannot cast a net of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and capture all the remaining soldiers of the 60,000 to 70,000 troops who had left the city before!

Without a trace of hesitation, Zhong Yi immediately took the main force of the 367th regiment to seize the two hills on the left side of the Yuhuatai.

Before the main force of the 367th Regiment opened the fortifications, the 12th infantry revolver of the 11th Division of the Japanese rushed over along the highway. In an instant, guns and cannons sounded on the road on the left foot of Yuhuatai.

The battle almost reached a white heat from the beginning. The Japanese launched fierce assaults again and again. Because there were no fortifications, the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment also launched counterattacks again and again. The two sides fought more than a dozen times with hand-to-hand combat.

More than four hours later, the 101st Division of the Japanese detours and detoured from the right side of Yuhuatai. Zhong Yi, considering that the task of blocking the enemy had been completed, led the remnants to withdraw from the battle.

However, by this time, the 367th Regiment's troops had been reduced from 2,000 to 500!

The remaining more than 500 remaining soldiers were raided by two Japanese infantry regiments. They found that they could not get rid of the Japanese. Zhong Yi could only order to turn in separately and meet again in Anqing!

The last remaining 500 remaining soldiers were divided into more than a dozen strands and turned toward Anqing.

Under the dark night sky, Zhong Yi turned around and gave a deep glance towards Nanjing. Goodbye Nanjing!
