Chapter 1 Nanjing Defense War

After the Nanjing Defense War broke out, the whole country was concerned about the battle situation here.

The radio transmitters Lin Fan saw in the city could send out the latest information at any time.

Among them were reporters from various news agencies, spies, and informants from various organizations.

On the hillside, in the courtyard outside a row of cave dwellings.

Several people were sitting around a low table, discussing intensely.

Li Desheng was waving the telegram in his hand: "Lao Chang always refuses to listen to advice and doesn't trust the judgment of his generals.

He can't even understand such a simple problem: If you preserve your men, you can regain the land; if you lose your men, you lose both men and land!

He couldn't defend the good defense line, and still fantasized about defending Nanjing, which is obviously easy to attack and difficult to defend.

Losing substance for face is not worth it."

Zhu Lao Zong's voice rang out: "We suggested that he retreat in big strides, so that the main force would not be consumed in some unnecessary places. Let the Japanese devils in.

It would be good to cut off the middle route of the Japanese devils and trap them."

"Yes, the enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we strike; the enemy retreats, we advance. Eliminating the Japanese devils in motion is the right way to fight when the weapons are not as good as the enemy's.

It is obviously a disadvantage to fight a fortress war with the Japanese devils when our weapons are inferior to theirs."

Zhu Lao Zong said with emotion: "We have suffered losses in this regard. Lao Chang may have learned from us and tasted the sweetness, so he has been insisting on this method of fighting."

Li Desheng nodded: "Blindly copying will eventually lead to great losses.

How is our little friend doing?"

Zhu Lao Zong smiled: "The young man is very energetic! I heard that in the Jiangyin Defense Command, he directly executed the Juntong (Military Intelligence Bureau) director who wanted him to cooperate with the investigation on the spot.

That director said he was a traitor!"

"The young man has a firm stand, how could he be a traitor!"

"They are also jealous. The young man's company now has more than a thousand people, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than a regiment of the National Army.

In Jiangyin, he shot down airplanes, attacked warships, and seized the equipment of a Japanese field heavy artillery.

He also brought all the weapons seized on the battlefield back to our army.

These have caused some people's unease."

Li Desheng also laughed: "The young man's official position will never be promoted in Lao Chang's place.

A company commander of more than a thousand people, this company commander can still be."

Zhu Lao Zong smiled: "Now he has recruited another group of people from the Jiangyin Fortress, and now the weapons and equipment of his company are better than those of the Japanese devils.

His next plan is to go behind enemy lines to establish a base."

"He wants to play Shanghai's idea! The young man's team needs too many supplies, which are restricted in the mountainous areas.

The cub has grown up and always wants to start a family. Let him do it! We must do our best to help him with anything we can."

Ren Bishi also said with a smile: "He has taken a fancy to the Japanese devils' logistics line. Being close to Shanghai makes it convenient to purchase all the equipment.

The premise is that they can get the money."

Li Desheng said with a smile: "This young man is very bold. It is really not a problem for scientists to get some small money for him.

Last time he was in Shanghai for only three days, he helped Director Pan Hannian get more than four million fa bi (legal tender) and a large batch of supplies for us.

It also allowed us to establish contact with some new friends.

This young man is a lucky general!"

Lin Fan, who was called a lucky general, was gathering soldiers at this time.

They drove the Japanese devils out of the Baishui Bridge position and were chasing them towards Qilin Gate.

Deputy Commander Liu Xing had just released the telephone that the guard was carrying when it rang.

The order from Tang Shengzhi, commander of the Nanjing Garrison, came from inside: "Order: The Special Company will immediately go to Tongji Gate."

Lin Fan knew that Tongji Gate was not far from Guanghua Gate. When he was fighting at Guanghua Gate just now, he heard fierce gunfire coming from the direction of Tongji Gate.

In less than two hours, the Japanese devils in that direction had rushed to the bottom of the city wall. Some Japanese devils, like those at Guanghua Gate, had hidden in the gate openings.

This made it impossible for the defending soldiers to hit them.

They could only allow these Japanese devils to lurk in the city gate openings, not knowing when they would rush out to cause trouble.

Tongji Gate is not far from Yuhuatai (Rain Flower Terrace), and it is next to the position defended by the 88th Division.

Lin Fan planned slowly in his mind and suggested to Liu Xing: "Commander! Can you equip my heavy artillery squad with a telephone too?

We can use it when we get to Tongji Gate."

Li Dequan, from Lin Fan's heavy artillery squad, was still on the observation balloon.

It's just that heavy artillery cannot be fired lightly. It has too much power and is in Nanjing City.

If you can't find the right parameters, you will hit your own people.

Hearing Lin Fan's inquiry, Liu Xing immediately asked the Garrison Command to order the Communications Department to connect a telephone to the Special Company's heavy artillery squad immediately.

Commander Tang Shengzhi knew that this was especially for providing artillery support to the defending troops, and immediately ordered the Communications Company: "This is the most important task."

Twenty minutes later, when the Special Company had just arrived at Tongji Gate, the heavy artillery squad's telephone had been connected.

Lin Fan stood on the city gate and calmly ordered Hui Jianming: "Launch propellant: minus No. 2, artillery angle sixty-three degrees. Bearing due north, ten degrees east.

Fire a single airburst shell to test."

Liu Xing nodded repeatedly as he listened to Lin Fan issuing orders.

When Lin Fan gave the order, the soldiers of the first and second squads had already rushed to the top of the city.

At this time, the top of the city wall was defended by the 259th Brigade led by Yi Anhua, brigade commander of the 87th Division.

Just now they had been subjected to a fierce attack by a Japanese devils battalion, and the Japanese devils who had set up siege ladders had rushed to the top of the city.

The situation was very urgent just now!

Although the officers and soldiers of the two regiments under the 259th Brigade fought hard, they were still unable to prevent the Japanese devils from rushing to the city wall.

Just when Tongji Gate was about to fall.

The 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the Nanjing Security Police received an order and rushed to the city wall urgently.

Cooperating with the 259th Brigade who were defending here, they finally wiped out all the Japanese devils who had rushed to the city wall.

Even so, the current situation is still not optimistic.

The Japanese devils outside the city wall are preparing for the next attack.

From the city wall, you can see that the Japanese devils have established an artillery position 1,500 meters away, and at least ten 120mm howitzers and thirty 92-type 75mm infantry guns are ready.

The Japanese devils did not have such firepower just now.

When the Japanese devils' artillery positions open fire, the defense of the city wall will be even more difficult.

Company Commander Fang Xingsi led his 135 policemen and defended the top of the city, firing at the Japanese devils.

No matter what, behind them is the capital. No matter what the situation is in the next second, defending here for one minute means fighting the Japanese devils for sixty seconds.

On the Jiulong (Nine Dragon) Bridge, which had been destroyed by the National Army, Japanese devils were working intensely.

They wanted to temporarily repair this bridge to facilitate the mechanized troops to come and attack.

It also made it easier for the infantry battalion to launch an attack.

The soldiers of the Special Company who had just rushed to the top of the city found that there were already hundreds of Japanese devil corpses on the city wall.

This situation can only show that the Japanese devils had already come to the city wall.

It fully shows how fierce the battle was just now.

The Special Company who had just rushed to the top of the city immediately joined the battle.

Company Commander Fang Xingsi saw Chen Sichuan directing a squad to enter various firing positions.

He immediately ran over and pointed to the Japanese devils' artillery positions in the distance: "Can you take them down?"

Chen Sichuan did not hesitate: "Yes!"

He immediately ordered: "All artillerymen in the first squad, fire at the Japanese devils' artillery positions."

He also instructed the signal soldier: "Report the location of the Japanese devils' positions to the company commander."

Chen Sichuan had just heard that Lin Fan wanted the heavy squad leader to pull the telephone.

When to use heavy artillery if not at this time?

The Japanese devils' artillery positions had already begun to bombard.

Battalion Commander Okahata Yuto was the first to enter the artillery position.

The Okahata Yuto Battalion was also the first to complete the artillery launch preparation task.

His battalion has nine 75mm infantry field guns and three 120mm howitzers.

Today, the division commander decided to concentrate all the heavy artillery of the entire division here for use.

The purpose, of course, is to attack one point with all its strength.

In Nanjing City, as long as one point is breached, all other places will be breached.

Chen Sichuan had just commanded a squad's mortars to fire when he immediately attracted fierce bombardment.

Colonel Serikawa Hideo, the commander of the 9th Mountain Artillery Regiment, pointed to the artillery position on the top of the city that was bombing them:

"Give me a hard hit!"

His regiment had only built the position so close under the mandatory order of Division Commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke.

This allowed them to directly shoot at Tongji Gate in front.

The position has now been built, and victory seems to be just around the corner.

Thirty-six 75mm field guns and twelve 120mm howitzers were all concentrated in this place.

The current section of the city wall simply cannot withstand it.

Regiment Commander Serikawa Hideo believed that the 9th Division would be able to successfully enter Nanjing City in at most one hour.

He did not believe that under his fierce and dense artillery bombardment, the defending troops on the top of the city could still persist without retreating.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Even if those officers and soldiers persisted without retreating, his shells would be able to eliminate them all on the city wall.

The regimental commander had enough confidence in this.

The fierce artillery bombardment immediately suppressed the Special Company's mortars.

It also gave great encouragement to those Japanese devils who were under the city wall. They had already rushed to the city wall just now.

It was just that the defending troops were too tenacious, and these Japanese devils, who lacked follow-up support, had not been able to continue sending soldiers up.

This allowed the defending troops on the city wall to catch their breath.

Now the Jiulong Bridge outside the city is being repaired. Even if the Jiulong Bridge is not repaired, the Kazou Asahi Battalion has rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

The 9th Division of Japan is attacking Tongji Gate and Yuhuatai.

Battalion Commander Kazou Asahi pointed to the city wall and ordered: "Rush up! Rush up! The Empire is watching everyone."

At this moment, the first test firing shell of the heavy artillery squad landed.

Lin Fan stood on the city head, braving the Japanese devils' artillery bombardment, and loudly ordered: "Bearing and angle unchanged, propellant pack minus one!

High-explosive shell! All cannons fire immediately, five rounds in rapid succession!"

"Bearing and angle unchanged, propellant pack minus one, high-explosive shell! Five rounds in rapid succession! Understood!" Hui Jianming's voice came from the telephone.

Fang Xingsi, who was still on the city wall, was overjoyed to see a cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly rising above the Japanese devils' artillery positions that were still rampant just now.

Battalion Commander Okahata Yuto looked in horror at the shells exploding on the position. This was not an illusion.

This was a shell fired by the defending troops!

When did they hide heavy artillery in the city?

It wasn't just him who was surprised, but Division Commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke was even more surprised than him.

The defending troops in Nanjing City had heavy artillery. Why didn't the intelligence personnel in the city notify him in advance?

Didn't anyone know?

When Lin Fan and his team entered the city, someone saw them. And they also reported it.

They also guided the air combat team to come and bomb them.

It's just that those people are the Navy's subordinates, and the air combat team was also sent by the Navy.

Of course, the Navy's intelligence cannot be given to the Army.

This is why the Japanese devils' Army didn't know that there was such a heavy artillery team in the city.

In fact, not only did the Japanese devils' Army not know, but few commanders in the city knew about it either.

Otherwise, they would have asked for heavy artillery support long ago.

The huge explosion could be heard even from more than a thousand meters away.

The shells that had been constantly falling from the sky on the Tongji Gate city wall disappeared all of a sudden.

All the shells that had been blasting the soldiers on the city wall could not stand up disappeared.

This suddenly relieved everyone on the city wall.

Chen Sichuan immediately commanded the artillery under his command to bombard the Japanese devils' engineers who were still repairing the bridge on the Jiulong Bridge.

The soldiers on the city wall can now shoot at the Japanese devils who are charging outside the city.

The heavy machine guns of the Special Company were firing fiercely at the Kazou Asahi Battalion outside the city.

The sudden increase in firepower from the defending troops on the city frightened Battalion Commander Kazou Asahi.

The firepower as dense as pouring rain instantly caused his soldiers to fall down row after row.

Faced with the sweeping of dozens of heavy machine guns, the entire Kazou Asahi Battalion had no way to fight back.

Battalion Commander Kazou Asahi could only order the soldiers to hide in the city gate opening.

It's safe here!

The defending troops on the city wall could not strike at their current position at all.

Lin Fan looked at the thick sandbags piled up behind the Tongji Gate.

It was impossible to move them away in a short time.

However, these hundreds of Japanese devils hiding in the city gate opening are ultimately a hidden danger.

Liu Xing saw from the binoculars that the Japanese devils' artillery positions in the distance were constantly exploding with fire.

Obviously, the Special Company's artillery bombardment was effective.

Now he understood where the Special Company's combat effectiveness came from: it was from the person in front of him.

It can be said that half of the combat effectiveness of the entire Special Company came from this Company Commander Lin.

The bombardment of the Japanese devils' artillery positions just now only started the official bombardment after firing a single shell to test.

Only those who understand the difficulty in the middle know how incredible this is.

The heavy artillery squad's bombardment of the Japanese devils' artillery positions continued. Li Dequan, who was high in the sky, was very happy to see the fire constantly exploding on the Japanese devils' artillery positions.

That was the artillery position that could threaten the safety of his team.

It is now being attacked. After this wave of attacks, that artillery position will no longer exist. At least during the defense of Nanjing, that team will not be able to fire another shot.

Lin Fan operated a mortar and bombarded the Japanese devils' engineers outside the city.

While he was bombing, he said to Liu Xing: "Tell the heavy artillery squad to stop bombing.

Adjust the angle and offset it fifteen degrees to the east, reduce the propellant by one. Everyone, three rounds of bombing."

Liu Xing was a little strange: "Where are you hitting?"

"The Japanese devils in front of Yuhuatai!"

Liu Xing laughed: "Division Commander Sun will be smiling from ear to ear for your gift."

In front of Yuhuatai, the 9th Division was also attacking.

Brigade Commander Iishoki Noboru of the 18th Infantry Brigade was a major general who was staring at the soldiers of the 19th Regiment attacking.

Battalion Commander Marusugi Ryota of the 1st Battalion of the 19th Regiment was watching his soldiers attack on the front line.

The officers and soldiers of the 542nd Regiment of the 88th Division were dealing with it in a mess.

Their division fought in Shanghai for a full three months before withdrawing to Nanjing for rest.

Before the rest had even begun, they accepted the current task: defending Nanjing.

The soldiers who had been replenished five times on the Songhu battlefield were still not at full strength.

The General Headquarters temporarily hugged the Buddha's feet and recruited 30,000 conscripts to supplement the troops defending Nanjing for this defense of Nanjing.

The 88th Division also supplemented 3,000 conscripts.

These newly recruited soldiers had not undergone a day of training and could not even fire a gun.

Not to mention following orders.

Sun Yuanliang stood on the city wall and looked at the Japanese devils in front. There were more than a thousand Japanese devils in front of him.

If his team was at its peak, a regiment would be enough to defend it.

Now the 542nd Regiment he arranged here has not changed its designation, and there are less than 200 veterans in the entire regiment.

The company, platoon, and platoon-level officers have long been replaced.

How can such a battle be fought?

Seeing the Japanese devils swarming up, the soldiers under his command did not know which direction the bullets they fired were going in.

They caused too little damage to the Japanese devils and could not stop the Japanese devils from attacking the city at all.

If it wasn't for him, the division commander, personally standing here to supervise the battle, the soldiers under his command would have turned around and ran away.

At this moment, a dozen black shadows fell from the sky and smashed into the middle of the Japanese devils' charging team.

A fierce explosion sounded, and the Japanese devils' corpses flew around in the clouds of gunpowder smoke and dust.

"Well done!"

Division Commander Sun Yuanliang fought in Shanghai for three months. Through the craters formed after the shells exploded, he immediately recognized that these were blown out by 150mm large-caliber shells.

Now the only team in the city with this kind of cannon is the special company under his command, which has a tainted color.

Principal Jiang had snatched away the heavy artillery in the National Army.

Only 75mm small cannons can bombard the Japanese devils in the city.

Even so, there are very few of these small cannons.

Division Commander Sun now suspects that the cannons of all the teams in the city combined are not as many as the cannons of his company in name.

It's a pity this company. How could it be ruled by red thoughts?

If this company followed Principal Jiang closely, this old man would dare to give him a regimental commander, called the Special Regiment, or even the Special Brigade.

Division Commander Sun Yuanliang thought with regret in his heart.

Just now, he also learned from several grateful telephone calls that this company was very popular today.

They fought all the way, and the Japanese devils were driven out wherever they went. This is a remarkable achievement.

The Special Company has become a fire brigade. Wherever the situation is critical, this company is sent there.

Now Lin Fan finally knows how to solve his division commander's worries.

This makes Division Commander Sun Yuanliang very gratified. No matter what, the Special Company is still nominally under his command.

Company Commander Nakamaki Ryuuki was very excited today. They were about to write history.

Now, as long as they rush to the top of the city and hold on, they will be creating history.

Those who rushed to the top of the city just now failed to hold on to the end, so they were not successful.

They can only turn into dust and look up to their success.

Those defending troops on the city wall have been completely exhausted after that fierce battle just now.

They no longer have the vigor they had at the beginning. Now it's time for his company to perform.

And this time, it's not just his company that is attacking. There are two more companies behind him.

This time, as long as they rush to the top of the city, they will definitely be able to hold on.

Company Commander Nakamaki Ryuuki firmly believed in this.

Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Company Commander Nakamaki Ryuuki only had contempt in his eyes. In front of the Imperial Warriors, no strong city could not be conquered.

Thinking of this, Company Commander Nakamaki Ryuuki's heart was full of fire.

As he was continuing to charge forward, the sharp whistling sound that suddenly appeared in the air made him wonder if he was too excited today and was hallucinating?

When Company Commander Nakamaki Ryuuki's body was blown up by the 150mm howitzer shell, he realized: This was not an illusion!

This was also his last thought.

The heavy artillery squad's three-round burst interrupted the rhythm of the 1st Battalion's attack, but not only that.

It also caused huge casualties to the 1st Battalion. Seeing that this battalion, which had suffered more than half of its casualties, was no longer able to continue the attack, Colonel Hitomi Hidesan had to withdraw the 1st Battalion.

He replaced it with the Ichishi Keita Battalion to continue the attack. Now was not the time to worry about casualties. Colonel Hitomi Hidesan only wanted to open the door to Nanjing as soon as possible.

Li Dequan clearly saw the effect of the bombing in the direction of Yuhuatai from 300 meters in the air.

The Japanese devils had a very good effect.

Now he saw that the Japanese devils had not learned their lesson and were still insisting on charging.

How could he endure this?

After receiving the news from the air, Hui Jianming took the initiative to add ingredients to the Yuhuatai direction, and it was another round of three-round burst.

This bombing, which came after a ten-minute pause.

Made Sun Yuanliang and Zhang Boting feel that happiness came too suddenly.

Originally, they saw that after the first wave of Japanese devils was bombed, there were only more Japanese devils who rushed up.

Their inner anxiety was incomparable. They did not expect that there was a pair of eyes in the sky, giving those Japanese devils another crazy bombardment.

Two consecutive rounds of heavy artillery bombardment, the time was not long, but the damage was very deep.

Not only Colonel Hitomi Hidesan, but also Major General Iishoki Noboru, the brigade commander of the 18th Brigade, personally ordered: "Suspend the attack!"

They were really frightened by the heavy artillery.

Originally, there was only this one road to attack Yuhuatai. When the team passed by, they were bombed by artillery. They were bombed every time they passed by.

No matter how many Imperial Warriors there were, they could not withstand such consumption.

Seeing that the Japanese devils' crazy attack had temporarily stopped, Sun Yuanliang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lin Fan was still fighting with the Kazou Asahi Battalion of the 7th Infantry Regiment in front of Tongji Gate.

Just now, the heavy artillery squad only bombed the Japanese devils' artillery positions.

Next was to support Yuhuatai, and the situation in front of Tongji Gate did not improve.

Fortunately, more than 1,000 soldiers from the Special Company rushed to the city wall, and dozens of heavy machine guns fired at the same time.

This formation made the officers and soldiers of the 87th Division who were defending the city feel that what they were holding in their hands were firewood sticks.

Not to mention that the infantry guns and mortars of the Special Company were still bombing non-stop.

These soldiers also discovered one thing. 大风小说

Liu Xing also noticed: "Company Commander Lin! Why don't the soldiers under your command save some ammunition?"

He saw the soldiers of the Special Company firing shells non-stop.

Lin Fan pointed to the Japanese devils outside: "There are so many Japanese devils, ask them for ammunition."

After speaking, he ordered Liu Xing: "Deputy Commander, find some cables, my team is going out of the city."

"What are you doing out of the city?"

"The Japanese devils in the city gate opening need to be cleaned up, and the weapons dropped by the Japanese devils who died below also need to be cleaned up.

The Japanese devils in the distance also need to be attacked." Lin Fan had many things to do.

Liu Xing thought for a while and did not object, and immediately arranged for Lin Fan's request to be carried out.

This time, the soldiers of the Special Company who went down obviously did not carry much heavy firepower.

Only two heavy machine guns were placed in one squad.

Even so, fourteen heavy machine guns were placed down.

The Japanese devils of the Kazou Asahi Battalion who were hiding in the city gate opening discovered that soldiers were coming down from the city wall.

They immediately wanted to attack this place.

They were completely unable to get out of the cave after being blown up by the hand grenades thrown down by the officers and soldiers of the Eightieth Division on the city wall.

As soon as the first squad of Chen Sichuan came down to the ground, they immediately established a defense line, protecting the other squads who were still continuing to descend behind them.

Lin Fan nodded secretly in his heart as he watched the performance of the first squad: These experiences gained from actual combat were much stronger than those trained on the training ground.

The first squad covered, and the second squad had already begun to attack.

They first completely blocked the Jiulong Bridge and then cleaned up the Japanese devils hiding in various shooting blind spots one by one.

After all the soldiers of the entire company came down, they pushed fourteen small carts and charged towards the city gate opening.

These soil armored vehicles with armor protection.

The Kazou Asahi Battalion was stunned as soon as they appeared.

The hundreds of officers and soldiers of the entire Kazou Asahi Battalion could not fight back against the sweeping of more than a dozen heavy machine guns.

Even their hasty counterattacks did not have much effect.

The shield in front of the heavy machine gun protected the safety of these machine gun shooters.

At the same time, the firepower of the heavy machine guns also made the soldiers of the Kazou Asahi Battalion despair.

They were in the city gate opening, with no cover and no protection at all.

They could only use their bodies to resist!

The bullets of the heavy machine guns could penetrate the bodies of two or three people.

Despair spread among the entire Kazou Asahi Battalion.

The soldiers of the Kazou Asahi Battalion huddled around the battalion commander, just like when ants pass through a fire circle.

A large group of ants hugged into a ball and charged through the fire. The outermost ants died layer by layer.

The queen ant protected in the middle has the greatest chance of surviving.

It's just that what is peeling off these Japanese devils layer by layer is not a lifeless fire.

But the officers and soldiers of the Special Company.

The sweeping of the heavy machine guns caused the Japanese devils blocking in front of Battalion Commander Kazou Asahi to fall down row by row.

As the heavy machine guns swept at the entrance of the city gate, the completely desperate Kazou Asahi Battalion launched a suicide charge towards the Special Company.

The suicide charge launched by the Kazou Asahi Battalion, which had less than forty people left, did not cause even a ripple.

They did not even rush to thirty meters in front of the heavy machine guns before they were all knocked to the ground.

The soldiers of the Special Company quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

The first and second squads were responsible for the forward alert, and the remaining squads accelerated the cleanup of the battlefield.

Deputy Commander Liu Xing and Brigade Commander Yi Anhua looked at the supplies sent up from under the city by the soldiers of the Special Company.

Guns, bullets, and protective gear, they could understand.

Leather shoes, clothes, and satchels, you all sent them up. What does this mean?

Especially many of the leather shoes, clothes, and satchels had blood stains on them.

Lin Fan smiled as he looked at the confused expressions of these people: "We are still poor. These clothes can still be used if they are dyed and modified.

The quality of these leather shoes is also very good.

We can also use these protective gear from the Japanese devils."

Deputy Commander Ji Xing said with emotion: "Company Commander Lin! You will definitely make a fortune if you do business."

Lin Fan smiled happily: "Thank you for your kind words. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I will open a store specializing in buying and selling second-hand goods.

At that time, Commander Liu, if you have any items in your house that you don't need, you must take care of me!"

Liu Xing was amused by Lin Fan: "Okay! It's settled then."

Division Commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke of the 9th Panzer Division was now very angry. The defending troops opposite his division.

He didn't know what was going on, but he was able to get heavy artillery support, which made it impossible for his team to attack.

Thinking that the honor of being the first to enter Nanjing City had flown away like this.

He couldn't help sighing.

With heavy artillery support on the opposite side, he did not dare to launch a large-scale attack now.

Attacking the city, if too few troops are sent, then it will be useless.

He has now decided to lie flat.

The Japanese devils in Yuhuatai and Tongji Gate retreated.

The soldiers of the Special Company could finally rest for a while at Tongji Gate.

Now that there was no danger in these two places, Liu Xing finally remembered that he was still the Deputy Commander of the Nanjing Garrison.

He took the phone and returned to his command post.

The Special Company had no fixed mission.

After Liu Xing left, Lin Fan also took the team back to the garrison.

When he swallowed to the garrison, Li Dequan was still floating in the sky.

With Lin Fan's order, the heavy artillery squad released him.

December 10, 1937, was a busy day.

The Special Company rushed to three places and fought three hard battles in one day.

Even so, the literacy class in the evening was still open as usual, and physical training was also carried out as usual.

Lin Fan had no intention of changing this habit.

The combat effectiveness of the Special Company had become a legend on this night.

Not only in the three battlefields they had been to, but also in the battlefields they had not been to, the National Army soldiers were also spreading their deeds.

Lin Fan, who had never wanted to be famous, had finally become famous today.

Not only the National Army soldiers stationed in Nanjing heard about Lin Fan's deeds.

The officers and soldiers of the Fujiwara Yuzhen Special Operations Brigade, who had just entered Nanjing City with the retreating soldiers, heard about the deeds of Lin Fan's Special Company.

Fujiwara Yuzhen and his team passed by the Special Company when they chased from Jiangyin to Jiaxing last time.

After that, they had been active on the road ahead of the 10th Army Corps.

Small troops attacked the command posts of the retreating National Army, causing panic to the retreating National Army.

In key cities, they mixed into the retreating troops and launched attacks unexpectedly.

The entire China Central Front Army knew that there was a mysterious team that was omnipotent.

They could always complete those impossible tasks.

Now the number of soldiers under Fujiwara Yuzhen had decreased from 500 to 300.

Among them, he had also replenished 200 elites twice.

But Fujiwara Yuzhen's position was now a colonel, and such a commanding speed was unprecedented in the entire empire.

During these days, Colonel Fujiwara Yuzhen had been looking for opportunities to sneak into Nanjing City.

Today he finally found it.

After the Fujiwara Yuzhen Special Operations Brigade broke through the defense line between Qixia Mountain and Wulong Mountain with the 13th Division.

They quietly mixed into the retreating defending troops.

Now the Fujiwara Yuzhen Special Operations Brigade had lurked in Nanjing City and was just waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack.

After the Fujiwara Yuzhen Special Operations Brigade entered Nanjing City with a team, they immediately dispersed and disappeared into the crowd.

In Nanjing City now, there were soldiers walking around with guns everywhere.

These soldiers could all see that they had just come down from the battlefield on their bodies and faces.

Just before this defense war, the Nanjing government had just recruited 30,000 new recruits.

These new recruits, who had not undergone a day of training, went to the battlefield after being issued clothes and weapons.

In a team with a tough style, these new recruits could still fight the Japanese devils with the veterans.

Some teams collapsed as soon as they encountered the Japanese devils. These new recruits, who had no experience at all.

Only running away was something they could do without learning.

Some of them had even thrown away their guns, while others had retreated into Nanjing City with their guns, not knowing where to go.

They just wandered around the city with their guns on their backs.

With the cover of these new recruits, the 300 Japanese devils of the entire Fujiwara Yuzhen Brigade were like water entering the sea and sand falling into the desert.

No one could find them at all.

During this period of time, Fujiwara Yuzhen's training of this team had been continuous, and they had agreed on a gathering place.

They gathered in a building in Nanjing City.

This place was owned by a supporter of the Empire.

After entering, there was no need to worry about being discovered by the Nanjing government at all.

The Nanjing Garrison Command summarized the entire defense during the day: The Japanese devils were too strong, and the morale of the defending troops now could not be compared with that of the Songhu battlefield.

The morale of the defending troops on each defense line was very low, and such a team was easily collapsed by the Japanese devils' powerful firepower.

At the meeting, everyone tacitly did not mention the performance of the Special Company today. Even Liu Xing did not mention the Special Company.

Although it was now a grand alliance of all fronts in the country, all those present were high-ranking commanders of the National Army.

Everyone knew clearly: Whether there was ability or not was not the most important thing. The position was the most important thing.

Mentioning a company led by an organization that was only advertised by the National Army as only engaging in guerrilla warfare, but not actually engaging in combat, in this kind of occasion was obviously a manifestation of not talking about politics.

No matter what the future results were, in the eyes of President Jiang, he was definitely not a person who could be trusted.

At this time, Jiang Jieshi was still pinning his hopes on the mediation of the United Kingdom and the United States.
