"The capital's national rescue division has recruited student soldiers!"

This news is like Feng Yiying spread throughout the Nanjing International Security Zone. I will pass it to you in the security zone, and you will pass it to him, one by one.￥f,

Soon, the entire safety zone was in full bloom.

"Go away, sign up!"

"Classmate, wait for me..."

There are many students trapped in the safe area. After witnessing the cruel behavior of the Japanese invaders in their own city, the most profound hatred surged in their young hearts. They want to go to the battlefield to fight against the Japanese invaders and avenge their dead compatriots!

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, you have a share, you have a share..." The Capital Hotel, the registration office for the student soldiers, was filled with people, young and energetic face full of passion.

"Students who have obtained the registration form should first fill in the above items. If there is no one, they can be blank. Then submit the registration form there and do a simple physical examination. If they pass the qualification, they will be considered the one who saves the national teacher."

"Give me one, I want to join the National Rescue Master and fight the Japanese devils!"

Hundreds of registration forms were prepared, but in less than two minutes, they were snatched away. Every time one was printed, one was snatched away. There was a conflict over a registration form.

Leng Feng set some hard conditions for recruiting students. For example, men must be over 16 years old, have a level of education, have a correct facial features, clear ears and eyes, and have no obvious physical defects. Those with physical disabilities will not be considered for the time being.

The same goes for female soldiers, and the conditions are treated equally.

Five hundred people were recruited soon, and the male students were temporarily handed over to the picket team for training and leadership, while the female students were fully admitted to the health team, and the ability and expertise were arranged separately.

"We must join the army, too..."

"We must join the army, too!"

"Join the army and fight the Japanese!"

“…”

The students who were recruited by the scholars expressed their dissatisfaction. There was no way to do so. The conditions for the scholars were relatively harsh, but the conditions for the soldiers were much wider, so these people rushed to the temporary recruitment station.

The retreat was proceeding in an orderly manner. In order to avoid bombing by Japanese planes, Leng Feng ordered the Yijiang Gate to be closed. The area divided by the people was opened before boarding the ship. The Yijiang Gate would be opened, and the people would be sent to the riverside to board the ship, and then cross the river!

In this way, there will be no crowded and trampled scenes on the riverside, and it will also reduce exposure.

"Commander Leng. Starting from ten o'clock in the morning, we transported away 20,000 people in six batches. According to the requirements of the "Updated Management Committee", most of them were women and children, children, injured officers and soldiers, and the people."

Leng Feng calculated that at this speed, even if people and boats stop, there are only about 100,000 people who can retreat to Jiangbei every day, and it will take at least three days to evacuate all the people in the city.

"What's the situation in Jiangbei?"

"Everything is good at the moment. Before dark, we used ships to transport 500 tons of food and various daily necessities."

"How is the situation on the river?"

"The wind is not strong, but the waves are a little hurry. You can cross at night now!"

"Then let's go to the night ferry, and the telegram will be ordered by Deputy Chief of Staff Liao and Director-General Fei Wusheng. If the weather conditions allow this night, we will evacuate the people and supplies to the north shore overnight." Leng Feng said.

Intelligence shows that the Japanese army has once again arrived at the city, but they are not ready for an attack for a while, because none of these troops are unified. Who will serve as the commander-in-chief of the siege is also quarreling within the Japanese army, and there is no accurate answer yet.

The arrogant Japanese army could not have imagined that the "Yasha" and a pieced together army could defeat the elite 16th Division in such a short time, and even control the entire Nanjing city.

What's even more serious is that Lieutenant General Asakamiya Hirohiko, the commander of the dispatching army, was also trapped in the city. He was not sure whether he was captured or killed. In addition, many senior Japanese officers and diplomatic officials were captured.

The most were Japanese expatriates, and none of the thousands of Japanese expatriates living in Nanjing could escape.

Now these have become the opponent's bargaining chips.

He regretted such a difficult thing when Hata Shunji took office on the first day. If he had known, he would have let Matsui Ishione hold on for a few more days, so that he would deal with the mess first.

Now, he has to do everything. If it is not handled properly, he, the commander of the Central China Front Army, may return to Japan in shame like Matsui Ishien.

Tangshan Cannon School.

The Japanese army established a shelter in Tangshan, and all the Japanese army fled from Nanjing were successively sheltered. After a day, thousands of people gathered.

With the strength of the 19th Brigade, there were only less than 5,000 people left in the entire 16th Division, and most of them were injured and their morale was low.

The Japanese elite standing division was filled with nearly 30,000 troops, and now there are only these remnants and defeated soldiers, which is probably something these invaders did not expect.

The Sixth Division could not come anymore and was stared at by tens of thousands of people from the third war zone. As long as there was a slight change, a full-scale attack was launched.

The New 38th Brigade raided and occupied Xuancheng, cut off the Guangxuan Highway in a sudden and gave a fatal blow to Tanisuo's 6th Division's throat. When Hata Shunji sent him a telegram to ask the 6th Division to send a corps to support Nanjing, he wanted Hata Shunji to ask for help.

After the New 38th Brigade occupied Xuancheng, it stopped moving.

Xuancheng's location is like a snake's seven inches on the defense line of the Sixth Division. If it is nailed to seven inches, the Sixth Division will be difficult to move. No matter how Gu Shou moves, as long as Xuancheng is in hand, the Sixth Division will not expect to return to Nanjing!

The 6th Division could not draw troops to rescue Nanjing. The fastest ones were the 3rd Divisions in Zhenjiang, Danyang, Changzhou and other places, and the 9th Divisions in Suzhou, Changshu, Kunshan and other places.

The 3rd Division was closest to leaving. After receiving the order from Shunji Hata, it left a small number of guard troops, all of which were set off and came to Nanjing.

The Ninth Division should move slightly faster, but because of the distance, even if you take a step forward, it will take at least two days to arrive in Nanjing.

Unless you use a train to transport troops, it will be cold and cold, and it will take two days to arrive by relying on the car and two legs alone.

This is already fast enough.

"The Japanese came so quickly. Nearly 20,000 people from the Third Division have arrived at Jurong and Chunhua."

"News from the Shanghai Station of the Military Control Commission, General Hata Shunji, the new commander of the Central China Front Army, has already taken office."

"It seems that we have changed an opponent." Leng Feng said. "This Hata Shunji, born in an ordinary samurai family in Japan, is a tough and cruel person with martial arts. His brother Hataro Hata, is also a Japanese general. He was once the commander of the Kanto Army. He died of illness before September 18. This person is calm and courageous, and is a difficult opponent to deal with."

"But don't be afraid. He just came and was not familiar with the situation. Today we chased him near Tangshan and retreated. The Japanese army would definitely think that we were short of troops and had conservative tactics. And they would definitely get and confirm the news that we retreated from Jiangbei. In this way, as long as we guard the city wall position for three or five days, we can completely evacuate. There is no need to fight them to the death." Leng Feng explained while analyzing.

"Using the Japanese army's psychology, I discussed it with the division seat and decided to attack Tangshan tonight!"

"Wang Bin!"

"arrive!"

"You lead a small team to the Tangshan area to investigate after nighttime, bring the radio station to report the situation of the Japanese army at any time!" Leng Feng ordered.

"yes!"

"Li Ye!"

"arrive!"

"How many armored vehicles still have in the Armored Vehicle Squadron to fight, and is there enough fuel?"

"We have nine tanks, plenty of fuel and ammunition!"

"Okay. For the sneak attack tonight, you will approach in a hidden way and suddenly launch an attack, giving the Japanese army a fatal blow."

"clear!"

"It's four forty now. Notify the captains of each detachment and military chiefs at the first level and above the regiment to hold a meeting at 6 o'clock. The meeting location is in the conference room of the National Rescue Division."

"yes!"

At about six o'clock, the former Ministry of Railways Building, the headquarters of the capital's anti-Japanese and national rescue division was located here.

"Wei Quan, are everyone here?"

"Except Deputy Chief of Staff Liao couldn't come, everyone else was here." Guo Weiquan said.

"Let's go. Let's go and invite Mr. Qiu and then have a meeting."

"stand up!"

"Sit down." Leng Feng and Qiu Qingquan entered the conference room together, and Qiu Qingquan waved his hand with a smile.

"Wei Quan, read out the Chairman's commendation order!" Leng Feng sat down and ordered Guo Weiquan to announce it at this time, which was also to boost morale.

"This..., the great merits of restoring the capital were specially rewarded with fiat currency of 500,000 yuan. This will be the first time Chiang Kai-shek will be given on January 31, 27th year of the Republic of China."

Pa. Pa. Pa...

Applause sounded, and everyone's faces were filled with excited smiles.

"Although we basically control the city of Nanjing now, there are still a small number of rebellious Japanese troops in the city. These need to be eliminated, otherwise they will bring us a fatal danger. We called everyone here just to remind everyone that it is not time to breathe a sigh of relief!" Qiu Qingquan said seriously.

"The teacher said right. We cannot be proud of a temporary victory. I think everyone knows the principle that arrogance will lead to defeat. Next, we will face the crazy counterattack of the Japanese army. According to the investigation, the Japanese Third Division is already on the way to Nanjing. It is expected to reach Jurong and Tangshan tonight. We will be able to reach Nanjing early tomorrow morning. We are facing the main force of a division, and it is even possible that there are two divisions!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Qiu Qingquan, changed their faces slightly.

These are two main divisions, with a total force of 50,000 and airplanes and cannons to help. Even if the newly recruited student detachment of the National Rescue Division was included, they would only raise 20,000 people.

This force is not as strong as others, let alone weapons and equipment, how can we fight this battle?

They were scared and said nothing, and the smugness just now became weak.

"Don't be afraid. As the saying goes, soldiers come to block the water and garrison. Although we have few people, we are not without the power to fight." Leng Feng knew that he could not just pour cold water on it, but he also had to encourage him.

"Although the Japanese army now dispatched troops and seemed to be powerful, they were not unified within them. First of all, this was not more than a month ago. At that time, the Japanese army had a strong command organization. This time, they responded hastily, so this gave us loopholes to take advantage of their unclear situation and uncoordinated command of our army and hit him hard!"

"Come to the seat, can we take the initiative to attack?" Zhao Hai of the Third Detachment asked.

"What's wrong?"

Buzz...

The discussion came, and it was obvious that Leng Feng's decision surprised everyone. Shouldn't we shrink our defense at this time and use the city wall positions to block the Japanese army?

"As for the seat, our army has just been reorganized, and its quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japanese army. If you take the initiative, you are afraid that it is not the opponent of the Japanese army?"

"Active attacking does not mean blind attacking. Yes, our hard and soft power are not as good as the Japanese army, but we are not as good as the Japanese army in everything. At least one thing, we are fighting at home, with high morale and military morale available!" Leng Feng said solemnly.
