Facing Fan Ze Saburo Dazuo's fierce gaze, the devil cavalry was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Sir, what you said is true, if you don't believe it, you can send troops over to inspect it, and it is only a dozen kilometers away from here." ”

Fan Zezaburo and the tank wing commander glanced at each other, snorted coldly, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the troops continue to pull out and accelerate forward!" The area where the target vanguard is attacked! ”

……

On Xu Wen's side, Li Wu, Wu Yongqiang, Sun Fugui and other soldiers had already cleaned up the battlefield, Li Wu ran to Xu Wen with a Thomson submachine gun and asked him for instructions: "Big brother, what are we going to do next?" ”

Xu Wen was sitting on the front of his No. 4 tank smoking a cigarette, waiting for the system's explosive outfit prompt, but he was a little disappointed, because he didn't shoot the devil with his own hands this time, so he didn't get the explosive outfit reward.

In the face of Li Wu's inquiry, Xu Wen did not answer immediately, but waved his hand to signal him not to be impatient, and then communicated with the system: "System, where are the devil's cavalry and tank troops now?" Did you come to us? ”

The system replied, "You are still ten kilometers away, and we are marching at full speed to come at you." ”

Xu Wen immediately instructed Li Wu: "Second brother, pass the order, everyone will retreat three kilometers with me, set up an ambush in Zhaojiaqiao Town, where we passed by before, and wait for the devil army to send them to the door, and then clean them up fiercely!" ”

"More devils coming?" Li Wu looked at Xu Wen in surprise and asked.

Xu Wendao: "This is just a small force of devils, there must be a big army behind, we take advantage of them, how can the little devils give up?" Retreat three kilometers to the small town of Zhaojiaqiao to set up defenses, let's teach them a good lesson! ”

"Yes!" Li Wu suddenly agreed, stood up to Xu Wen in a decent manner, and after saluting, he quickly turned around and took the order to leave.

When the devils of the 16th Division arrived at the scene of the incident, Xu Wen had already withdrawn to the town of Zhaojiaqiao, three kilometers away, with his independent brigade, and hid all the tanks and Humvee military vehicles in a forest south of the town.

More than 50 fighters scattered on the spot, relying on the already empty buildings in the town to prepare for an ambush.

On the battlefield of the attack just now, Fan Zezaburo and the captain of the tank wing dismounted and came to the tanks that had burned out and turned into a pile of scrap metal, and looked at the corpses of their own cavalry and horses everywhere in front of them, and were completely shocked by the shocking scene in front of them.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that an elite imperial force composed of four tanks and combat vehicles and more than a hundred elite cavalry of the empire had been wiped out in such a short period of time.

And the deaths are very miserable, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as miserable.

The more Fan Zezaburo looked at it, the more frightened he became, and said to the tank wing commander next to him: "Furukawa-kun, based on the comparison of the combat strength of the Imperial Army and the Chinese Army, if you want to eliminate a mixed army of our size, you must at least have the strength of one division, right?" ”

Tank wing captain Furukawa Daisa frowned, nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, an infantry brigade of the imperial army can defeat a division of the Chinese army, and this cavalry and tank fighting vehicle detachment, although the strength is not as large as an infantry brigade."

However, its comprehensive combat capability is definitely not inferior to that of a fully equipped infantry brigade.

Considering that the battle lasted only a short period of less than twenty minutes, at least one division of the Chinese army was involved in the ambush, and even more. ”

"That is, our immediate enemy has at least one division, if not more." Cavalry Wing Captain Fan Zezaburo looked up and stared ahead, and said meaningfully.

"It's still a force with extremely powerful armored forces!" Tank Wing Captain Furukawa Daisa also nodded and said in a deep voice.

Fan Zezaburo gradually said with a little excitement: "Now that we have discovered it, this elite army will not want to escape again!" ”

"Fan Zejun means to take the initiative to attack and destroy them?" Furukawa asked.

"Why not?" Fan Zezaburo asked rhetorically, and then said with great interest: "Our mission this time is to cooperate with the friendly forces chasing from the direction of Shanghai, capture Suzhou, and destroy all the defeated troops in this area.

Now that this enemy army has been blocked by us, there is no reason to let them go. ”

"However, judging from the experience of the vanguard and the reports of the surviving cavalry, this enemy seems to be very strong and should not be underestimated!" Furukawa Osa is still more cautious: "With only our two wings, can we succeed in eliminating it?" Why don't we ask the division commander for help? ”

Fan Zezaburo Dazuo waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "Your Excellency the division commander has already led the main force to attack Wuxi, and our 16th Division will be the first imperial army to attack Nanjing City, so don't bother other other friendly troops."

Leave the battle here to us! As for the front of the Zhina army, the reason why our vanguard had such a crushing defeat was because the enemy advanced lightly and fell into an ambush.

Now that we are on guard, with the combat strength of our two wings, even if they really have one or two divisions, what are they afraid of?

Moreover, behind them, there were friendly troops of the 6th, 3rd, 11th, and 9th divisions following and pursuing!

No matter how bad it is, we just need to block the Beijing-Shanghai railway and highway, wait for the friendly forces behind to catch up, and we can destroy them all! ”

Listening to Fan Zezaburo's analysis, Furukawa Dasa felt that it was the same, so he didn't say more, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Fan Zezaburo then re-dispatched a cavalry squadron to march south as the vanguard to search for Xu Wen and their traces.

Of course, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Fan Zezaburo and Furukawa Daisa did not wait long, and less than a kilometer after the vanguard drove out, they also led the 16th Cavalry Wing and the 16th Tank Fighting Vehicle Wing to follow.

Zhaojiaqiao Town is a small town in the north of Suzhou, next to the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, and it is also a small town developed because of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and Highway.

Before the war, the town had a permanent population of several thousand, and all kinds of shops were prosperous and prosperous.

However, with the fall of Shanghai and the continuous bombing by the Japanese army, the town has withered and is very dilapidated.

The people are dying and fleeing, and there is no one else in the town except for more than fifty Qingfeng Village soldiers in ambush.

When the 16th Cavalry Wing, a squadron of about 200 devil cavalry, rushed along the road.

Coincidentally, a Nationalist army was also defeated from the south to the north from the direction of Suzhou.

Almost with the devil cavalry search squadron, at the same time from both north and south, entered the town.

The two sides met head-on in the town, and a colonel officer of the national army who took the lead immediately ordered more than 100 officers and soldiers under his command to disperse on the spot, relying on the surrounding shops, private houses and other buildings to prepare for battle.

The devil cavalry relied on the strength of the crowd, and there was a large army behind them, and they rushed forward directly with their horses and swords.

Just when the colonel's officer had just given the order to open fire, more than 50 Qingfeng Zhai soldiers who had been ambushed in advance came out from the rooftops on both sides of the street and behind the ruins of shops, set up light and heavy machine guns, and roared with submachine guns, and fired fiercely at the devil cavalry who were charging in the street!
