When the Japanese army appeared at the foot of Niushou Mountain, small groups of Japanese troops were also found near Jurong and Zhenjiang. The Japanese troops from the North Road, Middle Road and South Road almost simultaneously attacked the periphery of Nanjing. The 301st Regiment of the 51st Division stationed in Songshu was even attacked by the 2nd Battalion of the 36th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, with heavy casualties.

The three armies of Xiaoji Wuben and eight divisions all worked hard to compete for the great achievements of the first capture of Nanjing!

The next day, on December 5, the 13th Division of the Japanese Army on the North Road, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army on the Middle Road, the 9th Division, the 6th Division of the South Road, and the 114th Division launched a fierce attack on Longtan, Tangshan, Chunhua Town and Niushou Mountain at the same time. Nanjing's outer positions suddenly became in a hurry.

Hongjue Temple, the command center of the 19th Brigade.

Li Shuangqiu finally declined Xu Shijiu's recruitment. When he learned that the 23rd Army had retreated to Tongling and was deployed in Hukou, he rushed over to Guijian with twelve veterans. Although Xu Shijiu felt regretful, he did not make things difficult for them. He even asked Cao Mancang to prepare dry food for Li Shuangqiu and the others for seven days, and each of them gave two hundred rounds of bullets.

Not long after seeing off Li Shuangqiang and the others, a huge roar of the plane engine came from the southeast sky. After a while, dozens of Japanese bombers emerged from the clouds and dived straight towards Niushou Mountain. In an instant, Niushou Mountain was blown up and dust filled the sky, shaking the earth.

After the iron-blooded battle of the Battle of Shanghai, the Japanese-Japanese aviation army has greatly improved. At the beginning, they dropped dozens of bombs and might not be able to blow up a target. However, now, on average, one can hit every two bombs, hundreds of heavy bombs whistled down, and the Yonggu Fortifications at the foot of Niushou Mountain were blown to pieces.

Xu Shijiu's speculation unfortunately became a fact. Xiao Riwuben has indeed obtained the deployment map of the fortifications outside Nanjing. Not only are there any specific location, defense strength and other data, but even the specific construction dates of each fortification, the construction troops, and the acceptance officer are clearly marked.

Therefore, this round of bombing by the Japanese aviation army was extremely targeted and had very good results. Even several underground hidden parts were destroyed by heavy bombs of 500 kilograms. Fortunately, after Feng Shengfa was reminded by Xu Shijiu, the troops were not deployed in the preset national defense fortifications, which greatly reduced casualties.

Feng Shengfa also reminded Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 5l division. Wang Yaowu was a little dissatisfied with this. As a result, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties under the bombing of the Japanese army. The Guangdong army guarding Tangshan and Jiuhua Mountain, the 66th Army, the 83rd Army, the 2nd Army guarding Qixia Mountain and Longtan also suffered heavy casualties. Before the Japanese army launched a ground attack, thousands of people had already been injured and killed.

Xu Shijiu climbed to the top of Hongjue Temple Pagoda and looked down from a high place. He saw that the east, west and southern foothills of Zutang Mountain were completely covered by dust and smoke from the explosion. The strong shock wave was transmitted through the mountain. Even the extremely strong Hongjue Temple Pagoda, which was shaking violently, making people worried that it would collapse.

"Captain, why are you here?" Gao Shenxing, who was looking at the top of the tower, frowned.

"It's okay, the focus of the bombing of Xiaojiuan now is the national defense fortifications at the foot of the mountain. Their family is only a little bit, but there is no extra bomb for them to squander." Xu Shijiu held up a telescope and looked at the foot of the mountain, saying, "What's more, Xiaojiuan is also a Buddhist. They dare to throw bombs on the Red Cross logo, but they may not dare to throw bombs into the temple."

While speaking, several Japanese bombers whizzed past Hongjue Temple after throwing bombs. Xiaojiben did not throw bombs into the temple, nor did they even use machine guns to strafuse them.

Xu Shijiu said proudly: "Look, I was right?"

Gao Shenxing curled his lips and said, "Captain, you are wrong this time. Xiaojiu Ben did not throw bombs at the Buddhist temple. It is not because they believe in Buddhism, but because they covet Chinese culture and have penetrated into the bone marrow. My teacher once told me that when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the Old Summer Palace, Westerners smashed everywhere, and only Japanese himself was protecting cultural relics in every way."

"What did you say? Is it possible to protect culture if I don't know about it?" This is the first time Xu Shijiu heard about it.

Gao Shenxing said: "Yes, the little Japanese version does know how to protect cultural relics, because they know the value of these cultural relics. They want to transport these cultural relics back to the Japanese version in a complete manner for future generations to trace the roots. So if possible, the little Japanese version will try every means to demolish and transport them back to the Japanese version and rebuild them."

"Safe, I really don't realize that you know Japanese people quite well?" Xu Shijiu was a little surprised.

Gao Shenxing looked at the Japanese bombers roaring in the sky and said, "As early as the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance, my teacher had foreseen that there would be a war between China and Japan. From then on, with the help of my teacher, I studied Japanese people myself, their national habits, thinking habits and even suicide methods."

Xu Shijiu nodded and said, "No wonder you speak Japanese so well."

Gao Shenxing sighed and said, "What's the use of speaking Japanese? After all, I'll call Nanjing."

"There is nothing to do about it." Xu Shijiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Who made us get into a weak government and a fucking leader?"

Gao Shenxing was silent.

Xu Shijiu did not say nonsense. It is an indisputable fact that the National Government is weak and can be bullied. Now that China and Japan have already started a full-scale war, the land in North China and East China has also fallen on a large scale, but the National Government has not yet officially declared war with the Japanese government. Looking at the past and present, China and abroad, the National Government is probably the only one, right?

As for Chairman Jiang’s fucking, it’s even more impossible to justify.

Xu Shijiu glanced at the Zhongzheng sword hanging around his waist and said nothing more. Since the Battle of Songhu broke out in mid-August, Chairman Jiang's over-level intervention and random commands have caused great passivity to the National Army. Gao Shenxing is not unclear, but he is a cadet of the Army University after all, and his concept of loyalty to the leader has long been integrated into his bones.

More than half an hour later, the Japanese bombing ended, and the dust shrouded at the foot of the mountain gradually dissipated. When Xu Shijiu raised his telescope again and looked down, he saw a small group of Japanese soldiers holding bayonets to open the scattered line on the southern foot of Zutang Mountain. The dark green helmets reflected a dim cold light under the illumination of the rising sun.

As soon as the Japanese bombing was over, 150 veterans from the 3rd Company emerged from several air raid shelters and quickly entered the trenches and scattered trenches along the traffic trenches. At this time, the dust and smoke shrouded on the positions gradually became thinner. It was clear that about a small team of Japanese soldiers were pushing towards this side with bayonets.

Xiao Ni is still the same as before, and first uses an infantry team to conduct a tentative attack.

Koji Wuben is very cunning. The scattered soldiers are very wide, and the distance between individual soldiers is at least ten meters. They rarely go straight when they are marching. From time to time, they will fall to the ground without warning and make some basic tactical avoidance. However, Koji Wuben is completely unnecessary because the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Company have no intention of shooting.

Four or five hundred meters away, unless it is a heavy machine gun, light machine gun and rifle gun fire at this distance will only be a waste of bullets.

More than 100 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Company were all veterans who survived the battlefield of Songhu. They were all calm. Some squatted in the trenches and smoked, some sat in the bullet box in a daze, some lay the grenade in front of them, and then opened the screw cap. Some veterans used bayonets to cut crosses on the warhead, which was said to enhance the killing effect.

If it was a recruit, I was afraid that I would be so nervous that I couldn't breathe evenly.

One-eyed dragon put down the telescope in his hand in a little resentful manner. He had just seen Gao Shenxing standing on the top of the Hongjue Temple Tower and making flags for him, asking him to abandon his position and let the Japanese army go deeper. Needless to say, this must be the command of the captain. He took out a box cannon and rushed to the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Company and ordered: "Brothers, fire a few shots and withdraw from Lao Wuzi."

"What, withdraw?"

"What are you saying?"

"What a fuck, I'm not going to fight yet."

"I ran away now. How can I do it if I get out of here?"

The more than 100 veterans in the entire company were all furious in an instant. What kind of battle is this? Xiao Riwuben is still several hundred meters away, and he has not yet fought seriously, so he retreated? Then the previous days spent so much physical effort to dig trenches for birds? The key is that if this matter is to be spread, their faces are lost.

The one-eyed dragon became angry and shouted: "It's all his fucking ears that are stuffed with donkey hair, please withdraw!

After saying that, the one-eyed dragon fired two random shots at the front with a box cannon, turned around and ran away. The more than one hundred veterans got up cursingly, then fired a row of guns in front, and then turned around and retreated to the second line of defense like a swarm. When the Japanese army was heading forward saw it, they quickly accelerated their pace.

Dongshan Bridge, Japanese frontier observation post.

Two armored vehicles were parked on the side of the road, with more than a dozen majors and captains standing on a small hill beside the road. There were Japanese soldiers every ten meters around the hill, which could be said to be five steps per post and ten steps per post. This colonel is Okamoto Shin-chen, the commander of the 23rd infantry regiment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

Seeing the Chinese army on the opposite position fleeing without fighting, Okamoto Shin-jin couldn't help but smile with a contemptuous smile on his face, put down his telescope and turned to the several major officers behind him, saying: "The fighting spirit of the Chinese soldiers has disappeared, and the Imperial Army has not even launched a real attack, but they have collapsed."

Several major officers naturally agreed after hearing this.
