"Get out of the position?" Wu Xinhua was shocked and couldn't believe what Liang Dong said.

"Brave Commander Wu, there is no time left, we must evacuate immediately. All signs indicate that the Japanese army's main attack direction is the direction of Zhonghua Gate. At the latest tomorrow morning, we will be bombarded by the Japanese army. With the fortifications we are now building, we can withstand it once or twice, but three or four times?"

Wu Xinhua was silent. Liang Dong's words made sense. There was not enough time, and the fortifications they built could not last long. If the Japanese army really concentrated their efforts to break through the Zhonghua Gate, the 40th Brigade had finally saved all the money they had accumulated.

It is not scary to pay it. As long as you kill the enemy and die on the battlefield, Wu Xinhua has no complaints, and the brothers are not afraid of death. The key is that the sacrifice is valuable.

"If you don't believe it, you can call the command center and ask Deputy Commander Leng now!"

"No, don't I believe you yet? I'll arrange the evacuation matters immediately. The brigade authorities and front-line evacuate the last. The communication equipment of the agency can be evacuated first!" Wu Xinhua made a decision.

"Okay, I'll go to the front line to stare at the Japanese army. If I evacuate and deploy defense, I'll ask the brigade to take care of it." Liang Dong said.

"Okay, let's go separately!" Wu Xinhua nodded. There was someone watching the front line. Although it was not very likely that the Japanese army launched a surprise attack at night, they had to be careful.

The retreat and the placement of explosives were carried out simultaneously. The Japanese discovered this underground passage of Zhonghuamen. This passage and the passage underground of Guanghuamen were built at the same time. Because it was old and buried very deeply, this secret passage was discovered early and was used during the first Nanjing Defense War.

Of course, the **** guarding the Zhonghua Gate did not know why he did not expect to go out through the secret passage to attack the Japanese army, but instead used it as an escape. Unfortunately, the Japanese army later discovered the secret passage and launched a poisonous gas attack inside!

When Leng Feng led his men to find the entrance to the tunnel to dig it open. The facade was densely packed with corpses, and the escape passage did not save their lives. They died under the poisonous gas of the Japanese without being able to reach the exit.

At least hundreds of bodies were cleared.

It is impossible to blew the entire Zhonghua Gate by placing explosives alone, and it is also buried deep in other places. It must also ensure that it will not be detonated by Japanese artillery shells.

This requires precise calculation and arrangement.

"Hurry, dig, here, at least five meters..."

The engineers worked hard and could not let the Japanese detect it. Therefore, everyone tried their best to hold their bodies and waved the pickaxe and shovel in their hands, just like digging the ground and pulling rats.

When they heard that they were going to let the Japanese devils take a "domestic plane" to the sky, the soldiers screamed, as if they were injected with chicken blood, and their progress was rapid.

Leng Feng personally sent Tang Jing to guide how to install the explosion site. The experts from the Chengsai Group were naturally different, and the amount of medicine placed at each explosion site was different, so that the explosion was the greatest effect.

It has much higher technical content than Leng Feng's original work in the 151 Highland of Tiger Cave.

At around three o'clock in the morning, Leng Feng was worried about the retreat and deployment of Zhonghuamen, so he personally took people to check it out.

Seeing that the relevant personnel on the position had almost retreated, only a small number of personnel were left to disguise to avoid being noticed by the Japanese army opposite.

Hundreds of fake targets were also made on the position, and all the weapons and equipment were withdrawn. If there was nothing, the Japanese army could see it at a glance. How could they consume their ammunition?

"Deputy Commander Leng. Why are you here?"

"I'll take a look, Brother Wu, I decided to remove the 40th Brigade. Do you have any ideas?" Leng Feng asked.

"I have no idea. I'll follow Deputy Commander Leng to fight, I didn't say anything." Wu Xinhua said loudly.

"Don't say that, when manpower is exhausted, three cobblers can beat Zhuge Liang!" Leng Feng smiled and he didn't care about Wu Xinhua's compliment.

"I have an idea. At first, there was, but now there is no more." Wu Xinhua said.

"Oh, let's talk?"

"At the beginning, I thought that you asked us to withdraw because you didn't trust our 40th Brigade to block the Japanese army, but now it seems that you are protecting us and don't want us to make unnecessary sacrifices." Wu Xinhua explained.

"Yes, those who survived are all anti-Japanese seeds. I don't want to squeeze out all the seeds, let alone Nanjing is already an empty city, which is not worth it." Leng Feng nodded.

"After you, it is a blessing for us to be subordinates."

"Well, be busy. Do you still remember that we talked about urban street fighting methods all night in Qinglong Mountain?" Leng Feng reminded gently.

"Remember, don't worry, I know what to do. If the Japanese come in, I promise they won't go out!" Wu Xinhua patted his chest and promised.

There are two elite troops in the national rescue division. The first is Liao Sen's 37th Brigade 37th Brigade, all of which were reorganized by the teaching corps and the Central Army's direct line, and then Wu Xinhua's 403rd Regiment. The Sichuan Army was fierce in war and was afraid of death.

Of course, the secret service team is also considered elite.

The 403rd Regiment fought with Leng Feng, and Wu Xinhua himself was deeply influenced by Leng Feng. The 403rd Regiment later received training from the Yaksha Battalion instructor led by Liang Dong in Qinglong Mountain. His combat effectiveness improved very quickly and he could better understand the fighting style taught by Leng Feng.

This is the same reason why Leng Feng arranged for the 40th Brigade to guard the Zhonghua Gate. On the contrary, although the 39th Brigade is strong, its urban offensive and defensive war is not as good as the 40th Brigade in this regard.

In fact, Leng Feng himself didn't know that in his mind, he quietly divided the functions and nature of the two troops. The future development direction of the 40th Brigade is mountain jungle and urban combat, while the direction of the 39th Brigade is assault and defensive counterattack.

"It's almost four o'clock. I guess the Japanese army will launch an attack soon. Take the time to give the soldiers some rest." Leng Feng ordered.

"yes!"

"Notify the logistics department and deliver meals to the 40th Travel immediately."

In the Japanese camp, they had already started to build a pot and cook rice. In order to cover up the smoke from cooking fires, they even moved the cooking place back a kilometer and set up a straw shed.

"Yaxi, not bad, this soup is very delicious. My imperial soldiers will definitely have the courage to double after eating it and defeat those hateful Chinese people..."

"The Empire will win!"

"The morale of the soldiers is very high!" Yoshisuke, accompanied by the adjutant and the chief of staff, came to the front line and personally directed the raid plan.

"Yes, we have made sufficient preparations for this plan and will surely take the position of the Chinese people in one fell swoop." Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nakagawa echoed.

Major General Idesushi, the commander of the 18th Brigade who was responsible for the infantry attack, came over with a group of officials.

"Sir."

"Here you come. How are you prepared?"

"Everything is ready, you can attack at any time!" Jing Shun said loudly.

"Are the artillery in place?"

"Report to the division commander, the artillery has been in place, with a total of 117 artillery pieces aimed at the positions of the Chinese army." The artillery staff reported loudly.

"Okay, it's five:25 now. 5 minutes later, launch an attack. After five minutes of shelling, extend the attack. Barrage attack for twenty minutes!" Yoshizuru Ryosuke ordered.

Behind the Red Mau Mountain, on the Japanese artillery positions, thick and black gun barrels were inserted into the sky in rows, like a cold steel forest.

After a full meal, the infantry of the 19th Japanese Army Regiment held a 38th rifle in his hand. In the cold weather, he was bare-handed and had a ribbon of "resistance to win" on his head, quietly in the trench.

Just waited for the commander to rush out of the trench and rushed towards the opposite position.

The position was quiet and dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers. However, Liang Dong, who had been observing at the front, had already adapted to this darkness. With his feelings, he found that the Japanese soldiers on the opposite position were silhouetted.

"The Japanese are moving, it seems that they are preparing to attack."

"Well, report to the brigade immediately and order the brothers. Prepare to retreat and walk from the tunnel!" Liang Dong ordered from the Frontier Observation Office.

"yes!"

"I know, I will report to the command center immediately, and say that the Japanese army has moved. It may be about to attack." Wu Xinhua's command center has retreated to a private house in Zhenhuai Bridge, which has been prepared long ago, so the retreat is orderly and the wired telephone is set up soon.

Didida...

Leng Feng returned to the underground command center of the Ministry of Transportation and planned to sleep for a while, but he couldn't calm down. Suddenly the bell on the wall rang.

Leng Feng opened his eyes and saw that it was half past five!

Boom, boom...

The lid of the teacup on the table jumped suddenly, falling down, and a broken bone was smashed. Then a more violent explosion sounded, and the earth shook.

The Japanese army began to attack the city!

Leng Feng suddenly started fighting and grabbed the phone on the table: "Check me the 40th Brigade Department!"

"Hey, Lao Wu, what's the situation?"

"Report to Deputy Commander Leng, the Japanese army launched a fierce shelling, and just fired more than 100 shells on my Yuhuatai position..." Wu Xinhua's brigade headquarters felt even stronger. Although the houses in the command center were brick-concrete and reinforced, the greystone that had been shaken continued to fall, and there was smoke and dust in the command center.

Wu Xinhua opened his mouth and ate a bite of gray, so he could only cover the phone and talk.

Leng Feng heard the sound of rumbling cannons from the other end of the phone clearly. Even Wu Xinhua could imagine the image of talking while hunching his body and covering the microphone.

This time the Japanese army's attack obviously used all their energy to feed themselves, so we must open the gap in the China Gate.

After capturing Nanjing in three days, the base camp also put a lot of pressure on the Japanese army, especially the disastrous defeat of the Tiangu Detachment in the White Horse Camp, which even gave the Japanese army a heavy blow.

"Please pay attention to firing artillery, everyone enters the anti-aircraft hole. I feel that the Japanese army's shelling this time is extraordinary and should not be careless and negligent!"

"I understand, Deputy Commander Leng, everyone will immediately withdraw into the anti-aircraft hole..."

"Where is Liang Dong, has he been back?"

"Chief Liang retreated before the shelling and is now in the secret passage..."

"I understand, you can enter the anti-aircraft artillery hole quickly, let's contact us again!" Leng Feng felt something was about to happen, so he hung up the phone immediately. The Japanese artillery fire was unprecedentedly fierce.

Although the national rescuers who defended the city also had some artillery, they were all field artillery below 100 mm, infantry artillery and rapid-fire artillery. They were small in power and had a short range, so they were suitable for street combat in cities. They had no power to fight against Japanese heavy artillery.

It seems that the decisive battle with the Japanese army still requires street fighting.
