In the early morning of the 9th, there was a faint crescent moon hanging in the sky. A thick white frost was covered with dry grass in the mountains. Blowing a breath, it condensed into a ball of white mist. The cold hands needed to keep frustrating to feel a trace of temperature.

Suddenly, a violent sound of cannons came, and the distance was very close to the Tiger Cave position. The trembling of the earth could be clearly felt on the 151 position.

The Japanese plane dropped huge bombs, dense artillery fire, fierce battles, and the smell of gunpowder. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

In Leng Feng's memory, although this day is not easy to remember than the fall of Nanjing City, it is the beginning.

Because, on this day, the Fukuo position in Nanjing was captured by the Japanese army on a large scale, and nearly 100,000 Japanese troops surrounded Nanjing.

This is the beginning of a disaster.

The Japanese army besieged the city, and the people in the city, including the army, were left with waterways.

The trajectory of history does not seem to have changed much because Leng Feng's wings were deleted.

The retreat of the first company was orderly and was basically completed before dawn, but the position of the first company did not seem to have changed much.

"Report!"

"Come in."

"Lengshoujian Station."

"Cheng Gang, why are you back? Didn't you ask you to lead the company well?" Leng Feng turned around and was a little unhappy when he saw that it was Cheng Gang.

Disobeying military orders is a serious mistake for soldiers. Of course, Leng Feng himself was once a typical example.

"The battalion asked me to come back and help you defend the 151 Heights."

"Lao Luo's order?"

"If Deputy Camp Leng doesn't believe it, you can call the camp department?" Cheng Gang said.

"Forget it, I've come here, so stay." Leng Feng wouldn't make this call. If it weren't, it would be really hard for him to deal with it.

"The Japanese army has begun to attack Hongmao Mountain, Leng Deputy Camp, your inference is really correct." On the observation position, I saw the explosions in the direction of Hongmao Mountain, and the entire position was a sea of ​​fire.

The Japanese army's firepower is very strong, which makes people feel heartbreaking.

"After the artillery bombardment, the Japanese army will launch a fierce attack. It depends on whether Battalion Commander Zhou and others can withstand this first wave of impact!" Leng Feng said extremely heavy.

This is the real power gap.

Position offensive and defensive battles are the most reflecting the true strength of the two armies.

In the face of absolute strength, sometimes the role of strategy is useless at all.

"Time!"

"At 6:05, the Japanese army began shelling. Now, fifteen minutes have passed, according to the power and quantity of the explosion, the Japanese army fired at least 500 shells at Hongmaoshan!"

Hongmao Mountain was just a point of attack by the Japanese army, and gunfire sounds were heard from the direction of Chunhua, and the intensity of the battle was no less than that of Hongmao Mountain.

Direction of Wulong Mountain...

Niu Shou Mountain...

The battle outside Nanjing City started almost at the same time, and the Japanese army seemed to want to capture Nanjing in one fell swoop.

In the north of the city, Baiziting Apartment, and the commander-in-chief of Nanjing garrison Tang Mengxiao works here most of the time.

The garrison headquarters is located in a modern building that combines Chinese and Western styles, not far away.

Tang Mengxiao was just recovering from a serious illness and was still very weak. In the middle of winter, he was still sweating constantly. Every ten minutes, the staff officers handed him a hot towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Report, the 58th Division of the 74th Army reported that the Japanese army had broken through the second position in Niushou Mountain. Our army suffered heavy casualties and the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce. Please reinforcements!"

"The Wulongshan Fort is urgently powered, Japanese ships on the river..."

"Reported by the 51st Division of the 301st Regiment, Ji Hongru, the acting commander of the 301st Regiment, was seriously injured, nine company commanders died in battle, and the platoon leader suffered more than 1,400 casualties..."

"I don't want his casualties. Ask Wang Yaowu, can you defend Chunhua?" Tang Mengxiao asked.

"Yes, Chief Tang."

"The teaching corps reported that the Japanese army attacked Hongmao Mountain fiercely. Chief Gui had sent a sergeant battalion and an anti-tank gun to reinforce. The 16th Division of the Japanese army lost several tanks in the previous stage..."

Tang Mengxiao pondered silently. This time, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army was the main division that attacked Nanjing. He suffered two losses in Jurong and paid a considerable price of casualties.

This is the only highlight of the national army's fight against the Japanese army since the war began.

Suzhou, the command of the Central China Front Army of the Japanese invaders.

Although Matsui Ishione no longer serves as the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, he is still the highest commander of the Japanese army attacking Nanjing.

He is weak, short, and has severe tuberculosis. Unfortunately, when he is about to show off his skills, his illness relapses.

But in order to invade China, this old Japanese lie on the hospital bed to command.

"Where has the troops in the front advanced?" Matsui Ishien was anxious and his figure was hoarse.

Deputy Chief of Staff Akira Muto ordered people to take the map to Matsui, picked up a baton, and pointed out: "Ono, Noda, and Kataki's troops, as vanguards from Tangshan to Zijinshan, have already arrived at Qilin's sect, and have begun to prepare to attack Zijinshan."

Matsui Ishien nodded. The 16th Division encountered a brief failure in Jurong, but the attack speed was still not slow.

"Your Excellency General, the 16th Division requested to remove a chariot brigade from the local area or Shanghai to cooperate in combat, and their chariot brigade was almost completely lost." Muto Akira said.

"Okay, the 101st Division's chariot brigade is assigned to the 16th Division and quickly rush to the Central Island troops."

"Hayi!"

“How is the southeast progressing?”

"The Ninth Division's Orisaka, Fujii and Isa's troops launched the final attack in Aochunhua Town early this morning, and will soon advance to the Daxiaochang Airport and the Guanghuamen area."

"Yes." Matsui Ishigen covered his mouth and coughed twice, signaling Akira Muto to continue.

"Under the command of Yanagawa's generals, Hasegawa and Takeshita's troops will soon advance through Niushou Mountain to the Yuhuatai outside the China Gate."

After Muto Akira finished speaking, he drew a semicircle along the southern half of the Nanjing map from east to west, adding: "The three sides of the front army will shrink to the side of the Nanjing city wall within one to two days."

"Yaxi, very good. The warriors of our great Japanese Empire fought bloody battles ahead to ensure their supply of ammunition and supplies."

"Yes, our ammunition is still very sufficient at present, but some food problems are still not available, but the soldiers in front have solved some of them by themselves." Muto Akira said.

"Very good." Matsui Ishione couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard this news. He would be a general who commanded the Imperial Japanese army to capture the capital of the empire, and this country was still the upper country of Japan in the past.

Such honors were enough to make him record in the history of the empire and be remembered in history.

"Order!"

"Hay!" Muto Akira saw Matsui Ishigen suddenly sitting up straight with a serious expression, knowing that the commander was going to issue a major order.

"On December 9, a plane was sent to Nanjing City to distribute letters of surrender. If the Chinese army does not accept surrender, it will launch a general attack on Nanjing City from noon on the 10th!"

"Hayi!"

Subsequently, the intelligence officer, Nakayama handed over a Japanese manuscript of the newly drafted "Write of Advocating Suspension" to the translator Naoka Okada, and translated it into Chinese.

Matsui Ishien reviews and signs it and prints it immediately.

The battle in Hongmao Mountain lasted until noon. The Japanese army repeatedly bombarded and charged three times, but were all repelled.

The last time Leng Feng saw the Japanese plaster flag rushing to the top of the mountain in the observation center of the 151 Highland.

At this time, the reinforcements from the teaching corps arrived. Under the counterattack of the reinforcements, the Japanese attack was repelled.

Leng Feng also received some battle reports one after another. Chunhua Town was first lost. The 51st Division was ordered to abandon Chunhua and Fangshan positions, and wanted to transfer Hedingqiao and Matian line.

When Chunhua was lost, the left wing of Niushou Mountain was empty, and the 58th Division was attacked by the Japanese army and fought hard.

The Japanese army advanced along the Chunhua to Guanghuamen Highway, and the Fukuo Front was shaken. The garrison headquarters had already begun to give up the defense of the Fukuo position and prepare to shrink its defense.

"Brother, it's time to eat." Leng Feng turned around and Cong Hu handed him a lunch box.

"Thank you." Leng Feng took it and opened it. In addition to rice, there were also cabbage and braised pork.

"Braised pork, last night's?"

Cong Hu nodded.

"Where are you?" Leng Feng looked into Conghu's lunch box and asked.

"I've eaten it, this is for you, brother." Cong Hu turned the lunch box and prevented Leng Feng from seeing it.

"Take the lunch box over and I'll take a look." Leng Feng ordered, "This is an order!"

Conghu's lunch box only had cabbage and some pickles, and there was no sign of oil and fishyness. Leng Feng's face suddenly became dark.

"Does everyone eat this?" Leng Feng asked.

"Brother..."

"Go and call Deputy Cheng Lian to me!" Leng Feng knew that Cong Hu had no choice but to answer this question, only Deputy Cheng Gang, who could give him the answer.

"yes!"

"Wait a minute!" Leng Feng called Cong Hu and poured all the braised pork in his lunch box into Cong Hu's lunch box. "Go and share it with everyone, one piece for each person."

"Brother, I'm leaving this for you..."

"go!"

"Cheng Gang, are we having trouble replenishing supplies now?" Leng Feng asked. The soldier was full and had the strength to eat. How could he compare his current food with the Japanese army?
