After a night of rest, everyone's physical strength was greatly supplemented. Even the two or three slightly injured special forces members began to scab their wounds, which basically did not affect their combat effectiveness.

It was bright.

Like all the special forces members, Ye Feng washed up in the cold well water, simply used breakfast, packed his luggage and set off, and went to the outer defense line of Nanjing to try his luck to see if he had a chance to start.

Anyway, everyone has a small number of people, and with Chen Ruoyun and Luo Anhua, there are only 24 people in total, such a small army can move around.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The dense sound of cannons came intermittently from the northwest direction. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the gunshots.

"map!"

Ye Feng heard the sound and immediately shouted. Zhao Long skillfully opened the map and pointed to the northwest direction of the map and said: "From the direction of the cannon sound, it was near the Zhonghua Gate, and it might be the Japanese who were shooting the Zhonghua Gate position."

"Walk!"

Ye Feng waved his hand and led everyone to advance in the direction where the sound of cannons came.

****

Outside the Zhonghua Gate, there were dense trenches on the Fukuo position. The 88th Division built a large number of fortifications. However, on the huge position, explosions were heard one after another, and the Japanese army was carrying out large-scale artillery bombardment.

On the wall of the Chinese Gate.

Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division, was standing on the city wall, holding a telescope, looking at the position that was less than one or two kilometers ahead. Seeing the dense shells on the position, Sun Yuanliang looked solemn.

The 88th Division is the direct line of the Central Army, the German Army, and the elite troops of the National Army. The current task is to be responsible for the defense of the Zhonghua Gate.

Starting yesterday, the main force of the Japanese Kyosaki Detachment and the vanguard of the 6th Division, Nasegawa, launched a fierce attack on the defensive position of the 88th Division. After a day of fierce fighting, the 88th Division was forced to withdraw from the second line position and retreat to the Fukuo position outside the Zhonghua Gate.

"The Japanese's artillery fire is too fierce. If we defend like this, there will be great casualties. In addition, according to reliable information, the main force of the Japanese 6th Division will also reach here and will meet with the Guoqi Detachment to attack the Zhonghua Sect where we defend." The Chief of Staff of the 88th Division looked worried.

Seeing that his position outside the city was violently bombarded by the Japanese army, Sun Yuanliang said nothing, obviously, he felt bad.

However, at this time, Sun Yuanliang could only defend himself. Once he gave up the Fukuo position outside the city, the Japanese army would come to the city and directly attack the city wall of the Zhonghua Gate.

...

On the Japanese position.

The Japanese military Kuozaki Detachment had a brigade of the Yama Artillery, and the Sixth Division, a strengthened field artillery corps. There were a total of 4 or 50 artillery pieces. They unscrupulously bombarded the positions outside the 88th Division. In order to achieve the maximum shelling effect, the artillery of the Kuozaki Detachment and the Sixth Division were used together and were unifiedly commanded by a Japanese colonel.

In addition to artillery, there were three infantry brigades of the Qi Detachment, one infantry brigade of the Sixth Division, and a total of four infantry brigades of the Japanese army were ready for attack and all entered the designated attack position. As long as the artillery was completed, a large-scale attack would be launched immediately.

Japanese Army Major General Toto Kikuzaki, wearing white gloves and holding a telescope, was watching the shelling ahead with great enthusiasm, surrounded by a group of Japanese officers.

Originally, after receiving news that Yamamoto's brigade had suffered more than half of its casualties last night, Kwanzaki's mood had been not very good. An infantry brigade pursued a small army of more than twenty people, but more than half of it was killed or injured, which made Kwanzaki's brigade look down upon.

However, the current fierce shelling made Kwanzakido's mood clearer. Thinking that as soon as the shelling ended, his troops would soon rush down, capture the positions outside the Kuomintang's army and directly approach the city. Kwanzakido could not suppress his excitement.

Think about it, how is the Kuozaki Detachment the first unit to attack the city? What a glorious thing that Guozaki Do as the commander of this unit!

"Yo Xi!"

Seeing the joy, Kunizaki Tok couldn't help but shout happily.

After half an hour of artillery bombardment, thousands of Japanese troops and four field infantry brigades launched a charge to the positions of the 88th Division.

"Kill and give it to me!!!"

Many Japanese commanders held up their command knife and shouted excitedly as if they were injected with chicken blood, commanding their troops and attacking like crazy.

The 88th Division is worthy of being the elite of the national army. Although there were many casualties under the fierce shelling, it quickly recovered. A large number of machine guns and rifles fired to block the Japanese attack.

The two sides fought fiercely.

An hour later, the Japanese army retreated like a tide. Within this hour, the 88th Division repelled several Japanese charges, and finally, the Japanese army had no choice but to retreat.

However, many officers and soldiers of the 88th Division knew that although the Japanese army retreated temporarily this time, the Japanese army would definitely launch another shelling and charge again. Taking advantage of the time when the Japanese army retreated, many officers and soldiers immediately rushed to repair their fortifications.

****

No one noticed the battle between the two sides. A small army of more than twenty people quietly came over and came to the rear of the Japanese positions.

Ye Feng lay on the ground, under the cover of the low thatch, holding a telescope to look ahead. The terrain ahead was flat, with no hills or rivers, and the only one was a little uneven, and the terrain was definitely within ten meters.

With such a terrain, large troops naturally have nowhere to hide, but as a small army of more than 20 people, there is still a certain amount of production space and can be hidden well.

Ye Feng also discovered the huge Japanese artillery position, which was at least two kilometers away from him, and was located behind the Japanese main position. Through a telescope, the cannons on the position and large trucks filled with shells were clearly visible.

There were many Japanese soldiers patrolling and guarding the outside of the position. The cordon was released at least nearly a thousand meters away. Seeing such a huge Japanese artillery position, Ye Feng was slightly excited and thought to himself, it would be so good if he could mess with his whole family!

"Zhao Long, have you seen the Japanese artillery position over there?"

"Of course, the Japanese artillery positions are really spectacular, with at least four or fifty cannons."

"Well, Zhao Long, do you want to make it?"

"Of course, it would be so good if the brigade could destroy such a huge artillery position as the Japanese!"

Luo Anhua next to him was secretly shocked when he heard the conversation between the two, thinking to himself, Brigade Commander Ye really dared to think about it, and he wanted to do such a huge artillery position in the Japanese army. Don’t you know that there are Japanese troops everywhere here?

It is indeed full of Japanese troops, the main force of the Japanese Guozaki Detachment, and the commander of the Sixth Division Gu Wing, are all in front of Ye Feng and the others. The closest one to Ye Feng and the others' lurking location may be less than one kilometer away.

In such a place where Japanese troops were everywhere, Ye Feng and the others actually wanted to build Japanese artillery positions. In Luo Anhua's opinion, it was simply crazy.

A bunch of lunatics!
