The chief of staff of the 29th Division also looked anxious, and said eagerly: "Your Excellency, the new 6th Army has launched a large-scale bombardment of us, and we have suffered heavy losses, and we must report the situation to His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Okamura Ninji as soon as possible." ”

Mizuno nodded and said in a deep voice, "Report the situation in detail." ”

Not worried that the attack of the new 6th Army was fake, Mizuno Shin was very worried about whether his troops would be able to hold it once the new 6th Army attacked the Suzhou area on a large scale. After all, the new 6th Army is prestigious, and the 29th Division is only a second-class division with not very strong combat effectiveness, and it has not been formed for a long time.

The chief of staff of the devil turned around and ordered the communication troops to send a report and report the situation in detail, Mizuno Shin frowned slightly, staring at the location of Suzhou on the map, as if there were flowers on the map, and looked at it for a long time, for a long time, and I didn't know what Mizuno was thinking in confidence.

Outside, there seemed to be a faint rumbling explosion, and the bomber group of the new 6th Army may have been bombing in the suburbs of Suzhou.

An hour or two later, Mizuno Shin was still thinking in his command headquarters about how he would deal with the new 6th Army in case of a big attack on him, when the chief of staff of the devil came in with an anxious face.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, a number of troops have sent telegrams that a large number of troops of the newly formed 6th Army are advancing along several roads leading to Suzhou, and they are all huge chariot groups, and our warriors can't resist them at all, and if this continues, these chariot groups will not reach Suzhou City in two or three times."

Hearing this, Mizuno Shin's face changed again. I didn't expect the new 6th Army to really attack itself, and it was still a large number of tank groups, and there must be a large number of infantry behind these tank groups.

"Yaga! The new 6th Army is again. Quickly send a telegram to His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Okamura Ninji asking for urgent reinforcements. ”

"Hey!"

The chief of staff of the devil did not dare to hesitate at all, immediately stood upright, bent down and saluted, and then straddled the command knife and hurriedly went outside, obviously preparing to send a report to Okamura Ninji again. Request reinforcements.

North of Jiaxing City and south of Suzhou City.

In this large area, there are several highways leading to Suzhou. Long tank units and armored vehicle units are urgently advancing, unstoppable and overwhelming.

1st Panzer Division. 1st Division of Mechanized Infantry. Each division is hundreds of chariots, majestic and murderous, and any little devils blocking them along the way are quickly wiped out by the soldiers.

Behind these tanks, long trucks were like long queues, and these large trucks were loaded with soldiers with live ammunition, these were the soldiers of the infantry divisions.

This attack on Suzhou, Ye Feng was well prepared. 2nd Panzer Division, 1st Mechanized Infantry Division. The three infantry divisions participating in the battle had already assembled in the north of Jiaxing City, and at the sound of an order, everyone quickly went north.

In order to maneuver quickly, Ye Feng prepared thousands of large trucks for the three major infantry divisions, along the road, the long large truck procession stretched, the vanguard had already marched north for twenty or thirty kilometers, and the follow-up troops had just left Jiaxing City.

The small devil blocking troops in the south of Suzhou were bombed by a large number of "Flying Fortress" bombers, and many fortifications were destroyed, and the resistance to everyone's northward movement was already very small.

The soldiers of several boat and bridge battalions also repaired roads along the highway, and even built bridges to allow large troops to pass smoothly, some anti-tank trenches, some small rivers that blocked the advance of the convoy, etc., steel bridges were quickly erected on them, and even large trucks with slightly inferior off-road ability could be unimpeded.

According to the plan, a large number of troops will quickly approach the area around Suzhou with lightning speed, encircle the Japanese puppet army in Suzhou, and finally recover from Suzhou.

If you reconnoiter from the air, all this is simply spectacular, a large number of combat vehicles, a large number of truck troops, meandering into a long dragon, stretching for dozens of kilometers, extremely visually impactful.

In the sky, from time to time, some reconnaissance planes flew over the heads of the soldiers, and in the Suzhou and Jiaxing areas, there were reconnaissance planes that were constantly conducting control and reconnaissance.

Nanjing, the General Headquarters of the Central China Front of Little Japan.

Commander-in-Chief Okamura Ninji had a black face, and angrily slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, his chest heaving and heaving, obviously angry. I didn't think about it, Okamura Ningji was played hard by Ye Feng.

"Baga, this is tactical deception, the hateful new 6th Army."

After receiving the report of the Japanese army in Suzhou, Okamura Ninji suddenly realized that everything was fake, that the new 6th Army's large-scale attack on Shanghai was a complete bluff, and that the real purpose of the new 6th Army was to attack Suzhou.

"Your Excellency Commander, many of our troops are reinforcing the area around Shanghai, and are rapidly reinforcing Shanghai, what should we do?" The chief of staff of the devil looked miserable.

After Okamura Ninji smashed his teacup, his face was dark, his face was simply dense with clouds, and there was a tendency of lightning and thunder at any time, Okamura Ninji didn't say a word, and walked around, and several little devil officers around, including the chief of staff of the devil, all had their heads down, and they didn't dare to come out.

Okamura Ningji was very angry, these little devils definitely didn't dare to touch their heads, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and waited for Okamura Ningji's order.

Walking around and thinking for a long time, Okamura Ningji said in a deep voice: "Focus on the area around Suzhou, all troops will turn around to reinforce Suzhou, and order all troops in Shanghai to strengthen their defenses." ”

"Hey!"

Seeing that Okamura Ninji finally gave the order, these devil officers breathed a long sigh of relief, and shouted in unison.

*****

In the city of Suzhou, the headquarters of the Japanese army in Suzhou.

Mizuno Nobu finally received a telegram from Okamura Ninji that there would be two divisions and an independent mixed brigade that would immediately reinforce the Suzhou area, and Mizuno Nobucai breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, Mizuno Shin felt a little more relaxed, and the door of his office was pushed open with a "bang", and the chief of staff of the devil ran in anxiously and said loudly.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the chariot troops of the newly formed 6th Army are like a bamboo, and the speed of movement is very fast, and the fastest is less than ten kilometers away from Suzhou City."

So soon, Mizuno Shin was taken aback, and his heart was full of shock, how long has it been!

Mizuno Shin completely underestimated the speed of the soldiers' tank group and armored vehicle group, advancing along the road, the speed was naturally very fast, and the little devils who blocked the attack could not organize a decent blockade, and in just three or four hours, many combat vehicles had begun to approach the outside of Suzhou.

Mizuno Shin had a straight face, and thought sadly and indignantly in his heart, the speed of the new 6th Army is so fast, even if there are reinforcements to reinforce him, he can't do it, these reinforcements are afraid that they will be wiped out by the new 6th Army before they arrive in Suzhou.

After thinking for a long time, Mizuno Shincai said helplessly: "Order all the troops outside the city to quickly retreat to the city, and quickly drop." ”

Obviously, Mizuno Shin is preparing to defend the city, there is basically no natural danger to defend in the Suzhou area, and now, the new 6th Army has been approaching the city, in Mizuno Shin's view, retreating into the city may be the best way, maybe it can hold out until a large number of reinforcements arrive.

As soon as the chief of staff of the devils went down to convey the order, ordering the little devils to retreat into the city, suddenly, Mizuno Shin seemed to hear the roar of the plane, and it was the roar of a large number of planes.

A devil Shao Zuo hurriedly ran in and reported: "Your Excellency, division commander, no, a large number of planes from the newly formed 6th Army, at least hundreds, are flying over Suzhou City. ”

Hundreds of planes!

Mizuno Nobu was shocked, in the past, the bomber group of the new 6th Army basically bombed around the periphery of Suzhou City, and basically did not bomb over the city, perhaps for fear of accidentally injuring the people in the city, this time, it actually flew over the city, and there were still hundreds of planes.

Hearing this, Mizuno Shin couldn't calm down, and hurriedly ran outside, and then looked up at the sky with a telescope.

In the sky, a large number of planes are densely packed in a large area, and the altitude is already very low, only about 1,000 meters, and the altitude is still further decreasing. (To be continued......)
