When the garrison guarding Jinling made the decision to evacuate and break through, the Japanese command center responsible for attacking Jinling had received corresponding secret reports. It can be seen that the Japanese army had made complete preparations to prepare for this battle.

When he learned that a large number of city guards broke through to the Xiaguan direction of Jinling, in order to force the National Government to surrender, he eliminated as many city guards as possible to weaken the overall strength of the national army, the Japanese army immediately ordered the siege troops to encircle and intercept them.

Lieutenant General Asaka Hirahiko, who succeeded Matsui Ishione as the commander of the dispatching army, undoubtedly accepted the corresponding order before coming to Jinling. Perhaps the Japanese army also realized that once the National Government resolutely resisted, the war of aggression would take too long.

The reason is very simple. China has a vast territory and a long strategic depth. Even if the Japanese army spread the whole country's strength, they wanted to fulfill the ambition of snake swallowing elephants, the risk was very high. Even the Japanese army intended to use this battle to encircle and suppress the troops defending the city.

Most of the troops ordered to guard Jinling were elite troops of the National Army, many of which were even Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops. If they could wipe out them in one battle, they could not only weaken the national army's strength, but also use the help of forcing the National Government to surrender.

In order to achieve this goal, the Japanese army only deployed the troops of an infantry corps at the foot of Zijin Mountain. Logically speaking, it was only a matter of time before an infantry corps cooperated with artillery to capture the Zijin Mountain position.

More combat troops were transferred to Xiaguan, trying to surround the defending troops who were evacuating in a hurry. On the conquered front battlefield, the Japanese army only retained a certain number of guard troops to oppress the defending troops in the city with a surround.

Even if some Japanese generals were worried that a large number of defending troops retreated into Jinling City would be likely to launch a frontal breakthrough. However, some generals said: "This possibility is very low. The generals of the Chinese army have already fled the battlefield in advance!"

The meaning of the words is very simple. The anti-Japanese troops without the commander and the chaotic command system are undoubtedly a group of mobs. After the main general flees, these troops will only flee in a hurry and find ways to follow the main general to escape from Jinling.

From the Battle of Songhu to the Battle of Jinling, most of the Japanese main combat divisions responsible for the attack were victorious. Even if the divisions were blocked, this kind of blockage would be more temporary and would eventually be conquered and destroyed by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army naturally knew that the defenders guarding the Zijin Mountain position were the most elite teaching corps of the National Army. It was precisely because of the strong and elite that the Japanese army did not hesitate to artillery fire and bombarded the Zijin Mountain position.

As a result, it was a bit regrettable that although the Japanese army captured the frontier positions of Zijin Mountain, they still failed to take down the main peak positions. Even the 16th Division of the Japanese army, which was responsible for the attack, still dispatched an infantry regiment and continued to launch an offensive overnight.

But no one expected that just as the Japanese army was about to end the battle and began to prepare for their entry ceremony, Hu Biao and his guard platoon sneaked into Jinling overnight, and immediately left the city to raid the Japanese army attacking the Zijin Mountain position.

Looking at the artillery that continued to roar, boxes of cannon boxes were brought over quickly and the shell boxes were quickly burnt out. Hu Biao, who was staying in the artillery position, focused on the gunshots coming around, and judged the dynamics of the Japanese army through the gunshots.

I have been to Jinling for too long, and even if the Military Control Commission provides corresponding intelligence support, it is extremely limited. If the Military Control Commission is really capable of inquiring about the actual information on this battlefield, the defending troops would not have been beaten so embarrassed.

What's more, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the information collected an hour ago may undergo major changes in one hour. For Hu Biao, who was deeply involved in the enemy's deepest information, the actual information on the battlefield is more trusted by him to reconnaise.

Originally, he thought the Japanese army would react very quickly, but to Hu Biao's surprise, when he heard Chen Qiang's report that all the shells were exhausted, Hu Biao said thoughtfully: "The Japanese nearby shouldn't be large!"

"Battery Commander, what should we do next?"

"I inform Lao Qin to set up thunders and prepare to circumnavigate from the left to check out the Japanese's rear military camp. Chen Qiang will reward each mountain cannon with one grenade and set up thunders at the artillery position. If the Japanese don't come, let's take it to your door!"

"Yes! Battalion Commander, what a pity to blow up such a good mountain cannon?"

"Nonsense! Can we take mountain cannons on the road like this now? Besides, we have all the shells burned. What's the use of pulling a cannon tube to the battlefield! Blow it up! If you want mountain cannons, you will always have a chance!"

"Yes! I understand!"

Regarding artillery, Hu Biao believes that any anti-Japanese officer and soldier who had suffered from artillery will hope that his troops can have a lot of artillery. Unfortunately, these artillery Hu Biao can only be blown up and cannot be left to the Japanese.

As Chen Qiang and others threw the ringing grenade into the barrel, listening to the explosion sound from the barrel. The cannon, which seemed to be damaged, was actually scrapped. If you want to repair it, you can only replace the barrel!

Everything was ready, and Qin Tianyou and others who were in charge of the periphery also gathered to Hu Biao. Seeing that the Japanese reinforcements had not arrived, Hu Biao, who pointed to the direction of Zijin Mountain, immediately said: "Set out!"

When Hu Biao led Qin Tianyou and others to the Zijin Mountain position from the right, the Japanese squadron that came from the rear camp finally arrived at the position where Hu Biao and others had just evacuated. Hearing the sound of artillery stopped, the Japanese army immediately launched a battle formation.

The Japanese squadron leader in charge of command looked at the slightly dim artillery position ahead and whispered: "In combat formation, search and advance! Once the enemy is found, shoot immediately! In any case, the enemy cannot escape!"

"Hi!"

Hundreds of Japanese devils quickly dispersed, searching for the artillery positions in front of them in an encirclement. Just as Hu Biao and others had left for almost ten minutes, Hu Biao and others who were also searching for advancement finally heard the explosion sound behind them.

Hu Biao, whose footsteps were paused, looked at the explosion and firelight behind him, and smiled and said, "It's coming slowly! Search slowly! I won't serve you anymore! Brothers, keep moving forward! Let the Japanese follow you and eat dust!"

After saying a word, everyone laughed, the team quickly returned to their due calmness. At this moment, the Japanese squadron, who was ordered to search and regain the artillery position, suffered from thunder and people were constantly killed and injured by bombing.

"Baga! What kind of troops is this? Damn, what trap did they lay?"

The imagined enemy did not see it, but the troops responsible for the search were in great casualties. When the Japanese who were waiting for the assistance finally entered the artillery position, many Japanese soldiers vomited when they looked at the artillery corpses that Hu Biao had not dealt with at all.

Even though these Japanese troops have participated in many bloody wars, they have never seen such a tragic post-war scene. The reason is that many artillery corpses are fuzzy and cannot see their original appearance clearly.

What makes people feel even more disgusting is that most of the blood flowing from each corpse has solidified. Walking on the position, if you are not careful, you will step on the solidified blood clots. This scene really makes the Japanese feel cold inside.

The Japanese squadron leader who led the team personally inspected the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who died in battle and said gritted his teeth: "Bageya Road! These damn attackers actually used cold weapons to brutally kill our warriors!"

When the Japanese saw the mountain cannons that were still intact in the position, they said happily: "Hao! These cannons have finally been preserved! Those guys who attacked sneak attacks seem to be stupid!"

Just when the Japanese were planning to check whether there were shells in the gun box in the position, the explosion that had experienced a nightmare sounded again. Listening to the explosion from the position, the Japanese squadron leader who was checking the bodies couldn't help but squat down.

"Baga! Order the troops not to move things on the positions without mercy and start searching for the traces of the attackers!"

"Hi!"

Until the Japanese squadron leader saw the intact artillery and was filled with joy, an officer soon said, "Captain, come and see! These mountain cannons are afraid that they will all be destroyed!"

"What about this! How is this possible?"

The officer responsible for inspecting the artillery, after pulling the bolt open, he soon saw that the closed bolt was already blown up and the pothole was bumpy. Not only was the gun barrel damaged, but the firing parts of the artillery were also scrapped, and these mountain cannons were undoubtedly useless.

"Ah! Ah! Damn, these damn guys! Who is it? Who sneaked into our artillery positions?"

Looking at the Japanese squadron leader who was angry, the Japanese squadron leader who was in charge of searching also said quietly: "Squadron leader, I found the traces of the enemy's escape. From the direction of their escape, I should be heading towards Zijin Mountain."

"What about Na? Escape toward Zijin Mountain? Is the troops attacking us the Chinese army that ran down from Zijin Mountain?"

"Squadron Captain, this should be impossible? At the foot of Zijin Mountain, we have deployed nearly two brigades of troops. How could the defenders on the positions come down? Will these people go to Zijin Mountain, and will they plan to sneak attack our troops at the foot of the mountain?"

"It is very likely! The person who came, immediately informed the corps captain of the artillery position. In order to eliminate the enemies who attacked the artillery position, our unit is following and pursuing. I hope that the corps captain can send troops to reinforce quickly!"

"Hi!"

A Japanese lieutenant who accepted the instructions quickly brought the squadron leader's message and several soldiers back to the rear camp as usual, hoping to quickly report the situation here to the corps commander in charge of the camp.

But these Japanese soldiers had just left the artillery position and before they could return to the rear camp, they asked to shoot another shot and change the place. Xu Sandao and others, who were responsible for hunting in the Japanese military camp, shot dead. Naturally, this message was not delivered.

On the other hand, the guard platoon soldiers who killed these Japanese devils and still plundered all their weapons and ammunition were also unwilling to say: "Damn, why are there only a few Japanese devils here this time? Well, it's not bad, there's also a second lieutenant!"

"Looking at the direction these Japanese were coming, they should have come from the artillery position. However, why didn't you hear gunshots earlier? Could it be that the battalion commander and others have evacuated safely?"

"It should be! I looked at the time before. Shortly after the Japanese sent troops, the artillery fire stopped. I guess the battalion commander wiped out all the artillery shells reserved by the Japanese and retreated immediately!"

After discussing and analyzing with the soldiers, although Xu Sandao was worried about Hu Biao and others, he knew that he had only one mission at this moment, which was to ambush as many Japanese soldiers as possible and try to enter the rear military camp from the outside.

Although the Japanese have radio stations, the radio station can only receive information sent from a distance. The transmission of intelligence around the battlefield requires more reliance on soldiers to deliver. Killing these soldiers who deliver messages will block the battlefield intelligence?
