"Send a telegram to Liu Xinyu to let him pay close attention to the movements of Japanese ships. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!" Leng Feng was not relieved, and added a few sentences to the end of the telegram, "It is related to the life and death of the 20,000 soldiers who saved the national army, and you should not be slackened. ↑,"

"Go, sign my name."

After giving the order, Leng Feng still felt something was wrong. At this time, the phone ringing on the table and Leng Feng picked it up.

"Lengtou'er, it's me, Liang Dong. I just came back from the frontline. I have something important to report to you." Liang Dong's breathing voice came from inside, "I can't explain it clearly on the phone. I want to come to you in person."

"Okay, come here, ride a horse or a car?"

"There is a car in the brigade department, I'll take a car over!" Liang Dong said.

"Okay!" Leng Feng hung up the phone immediately.

It takes at least half an hour to get from Zhonghua Gate to the Transportation Building Command, which is still the case when the road is unobstructed.

Leng Feng waited for nearly an hour before he heard the sound of a car motor coming from outside.

"Lengtou, I'm here." The weather was cold, minus seven or eight degrees below zero. Although I was a bus, Liang Dong was still very cold and his face turned blue.

"Sit down and have a cup of hot tea. It's so cold. I'll have someone prepare a midnight snack for you." Leng Feng greeted.

"Boss, I'm not hungry. Let me tell you about my discoveries on the frontline investigation." Liang Dong said anxiously. If he hadn't been afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly on the phone, he would not have traveled this trip. The road in the city would have been difficult to walk.

"Okay, just say it slowly, don't worry."

"Boss, I want a map?"

Leng Feng took a map of Nanjing and spread it on the coffee table in front of the two of them.

"Short after nightfall, the Japanese army significantly slowed down their attack. Until around seven o'clock, they stopped attacking completely. We thought the Japanese army would reorganize the army and fight again, but after we waited, there was no movement on the Japanese position, so I secretly arrived in the reconnaissance squad with a reconnaissance squad. We found that the Japanese army were eating and chatting on the position, and there was no intention of launching an attack again..." Liang Dong said slowly.

"So I made a bold decision to change into a Japanese suit and touched it in person..."

Leng Feng was stunned. Liang Dong was really brave. He just touched him like this. Could it be that the blind people on the Japanese positions were all blind?

However, this is not impossible.

The Japanese army also fought for a day. When people were trapped and horses were exhausted, they would inevitably be distracted and distracted.

"Boss, guess what I saw?"

"What?"

"Tanks and artillery are all heavy artillery with a caliber of 100 mm or above. There are at least 30 tanks and no less than 60 artillery pieces. I was scared and sweated. If the Japanese army had such heavy firepower today, they would have flattened the position of the China Gate. How could we keep the Yuhuatai position?"

"These tanks and artillery have just been concentrated in the Ninth Division." Leng Feng said, the heavy artillery corps assigned to the 3rd Division were taken away, and the 3rd Division's offensive ability has greatly reduced, so he suffered a lot at Zhongshan Gate.

The Ninth Division launched a long-distance raid, but there was only one mountain artillery corps, which was equipped with a field artillery corps. The total artillery of the entire division was more than 100, which was much stronger than ****, but there were not many heavy artillery above 100 mm caliber. Generally, no more than forty-eight.

Liang Dong actually saw more than 60 heavy artillery with a caliber of 100 mm, and this problem was serious.

"Direction, coordinates!"

Leng Feng asked calmly.

"Here, five kilometers southwest. Behind Hongmao Mountain." Liang Dong pointed to a location on the map. The specific location was too dark, so I didn't dare to get too close. If it weren't for the light emitted by their car lights, I would have been very difficult to detect.

"It seems that the Japanese army wanted to concentrate on breaking into the city from Zhonghua Gate!" Leng Feng said decisively. The first time the Japanese army surrounded Nanjing was the first to break into the Zhonghua Gate. The Japanese army was very familiar with the situation of Zhonghua Gate, and it was normal for them to choose to make a breakthrough in the same place.

The Japanese army obviously wanted to achieve their contributions in one battle with such powerful firepower.

"Xiao Xia, go and invite Master Qiu over, let's study it!" Leng Feng regretted it now, and transferred the heavy artillery regiment to Jiangbei too early.

Of course, the heavy artillery regiment had already played a huge role when they arrived in Jiangbei. In the evening, Liao Sen used the heavy artillery regiment to beat the 12th Regiment of the Tiangu Detachment, and the 12th Regiment was almost wiped out.

The Tiangu Detachment suffered a crushing defeat, and Liao Sen took advantage of the victory to chase after him. If he hadn't been afraid that the army would be too long and to ensure Jiangpu's safety, he would have wanted to go to Yangzhou City in one breath.

Liao Sen was still very clear-headed and the Japanese army was still very powerful in Jiangbei.

However, this battle was indeed a rare victory in the confrontation between the Chinese and Japanese troops, and it was a confrontation between positions, breaking the myth of the undefeated Japanese army and the news reached Wuhan.

Old Jiang was so happy that he immediately sent a commendation telegram to Qiu Qingquan and Leng Feng, and promoted Liao Sen to the rank of colonel. He also admitted Leng Feng and Qiu Qingquan's adaptation of the capital's national rescue division.

Regarding the number of the national rescue troops, Chiang Kai-shek has not given a clear answer. Whether to directly form a division or be included in that army, I am afraid that the final result will be achieved only after the battle in Nanjing.

Upon receiving Leng Feng's invitation, Qiu Qingquan immediately got up from the bed, put on a cotton coat and came over.

After hearing Liang Dong's simple description, Qiu Qingquan's face also changed. This was obviously a very difficult situation. The Japanese army is still gathering now, and the attack may be shortly after.

"Leng Feng, what do you think?" Qiu Qingquan now became unknowingly dependent on Leng Feng. In fact, from the beginning, most of the suggestions and work were proposed by Leng Feng, but the order was just his retelling.

Leng Feng already has the ability to command large corps operations, but he lacks the temper in some aspects.

"If Liang Dong's words are true, then the 40th Brigade will be in danger." Leng Feng said. He was already thinking about countermeasures, but he had not yet thought about it.

"Lengtouer, Master, these are all things I have seen with my own eyes, and they are absolutely true!" Liang Dong said anxiously.

"I know, no one said you read it wrong. If the Japanese want to choose the China Sect as a breakthrough, then give it to him." Leng Feng gritted his teeth, and a trace flashed in his eyes.

"You mean, give up the position of the China Gate?"

"If we don't give up, then after this round of artillery fire attack, the 40th Brigade will be left, which will be thousands of lives. Now Nanjing is an empty city. There is no need for us to sacrifice so many people for a ruined city gate!" Leng Feng said heavily, "Can our fortifications withstand the bombardment of several rounds of heavy artillery in the Japanese army?"

"Yes, we judge that the Japanese army is very likely to choose the Zhonghua Gate as a breakthrough point. Then why don't we give up the Zhonghua Gate and directly deploy the troops on the right side of the Qinhuai River and less troops on the left side."

"That means we have voluntarily given up the 11th and 13th zones?"

"The number 13 is unknown, it's better to give up." Leng Feng smiled.

give up?

Qiu Qingquan and Liang Dong were both stunned. They didn't expect Leng Feng to make such a decision, and they actually gave up Yuhuatai, Zhonghua Gate and inner and outer city positions directly. Wouldn't the loss be too great?

"There is a secret passage underground in the Zhonghua Gate that leads directly to the outside of the city. I originally planned to give the Japanese army this gift to them after entering the city. Now I think it's ahead of time." Leng Feng said.

"You want to bury explosives in the tunnel again?"

"That's right, two tons are all the most intense. Since the Japanese army chose to enter through the Zhonghua Gate, let them bury them with the Zhonghua Gate!" Leng Feng was hiding the cold light of killing in his teeth.

"I've worked on the tiger cave once, and I've also cheated the Japanese once at Guanghua Gate. This is the third time. Are you sure the Japanese will be fooled?" Qiu Qingquan asked strangely. He knew Leng Feng's dark history and liked to dig holes and buy explosives, and then buried the people in the position together.

Because of this, the Japanese army lost 2,000 people in two consecutive games, and it has only been less than two months since then.

There is a way that can be one, two, not three. In this third chapter, it is hard to say that the Japanese will not be deceived.

"As long as they want to come in, they have to be fooled." Leng Feng smiled. The Japanese did not choose Zhonghuamen as the main attack direction. He did not want to use this plan to burn both jade. After all, this ancient city wall is a witness to history and a legacy left by his ancestors. It's a pity to destroy it like this.

The three of them were in a heavy mood.

But in order to resist aggression, for the dignity and freedom of the nation and the country, some people who do not want to give up can only give up.

"Boss, the jungle wolf is in urgent need of power!" Guo Weiquan knocked in from the door outside, and eagerly took out an emergency message from the folder and handed it over.

"The 3rd Division's chariot squadron, mountain artillery corps, and cavalry of a squadron suddenly disappeared?"

Understood!

No wonder the Ninth Division had so many artillery and chariots behind Hongmao Mountain. It turned out that the heavy equipment of the Third Division was quietly concentrated in the direction of the Zhonghua Gate. It seems that the purpose of the Japanese army choosing Zhonghua Gate as the main attack direction was clear.

"You can't hesitate. The Japanese army is likely to launch an attack before dawn tomorrow. It is almost midnight now. We only have four or five hours at most. We must immediately withdraw the main force of the 40th Brigade from the position and follow the original street fighting plan to deploy defenses on the east bank of Zhenhuai Bridge!" Leng Feng said.

"Okay, I agree, but when evacuating, you must not let the Japanese army discover it. Also, don't withdraw it all at once, leave a small part at the forefront and withdraw from the underground secret passage at the last moment!" Qiu Qingquan added.

"I agree!"

"Liang Dong, there is no written order. You will go back immediately to convey orders to Brigade Commander Wu. The retreat must be in order and no trouble." Leng Feng ordered solemnly.

"Liang Dong understand!" Liang Dong stood up, saluted Leng Feng, Qiu Qingquan and the other two, and hurriedly left.

I thought that with the fortifications of the city wall, I could still hold on for a while, but I didn’t expect that I would be able to fight so quickly. I wonder what the street battle will be like in the end.

Leng Feng was actually a little worried. He was under a lot of psychological pressure and could not collapse at once, so it would be troublesome.
