One torpedo after another accurately hit the four fleeing transport ships, and suddenly, violent explosions sounded one after another, and each of them was hit by torpedoes, as few as one or two, and the largest one was actually hit by five torpedoes in succession.

The nearly 10,000-ton transport ship that Toyoichi Matsuura was riding was actually hit by five torpedoes one after another, and Toyoichi Matsuura was really unlucky.

The trajectories I saw just now represent a few torpedoes, this one is a total of four torpedoes, one by one the torpedoes hit the transport, and not a minute or two later, another torpedo, a total of five torpedoes.

This transport ship of nearly 10,000 tons was blown to shreds, and on the hull, below the waterline, there were several shocking holes, and a large amount of seawater was directly poured into it.

Smoke billowed from the ship, and all these torpedoes tore through the hull of the ship, burrowed into the inside of the ship and exploded, and the steamer, which was carrying thousands of tons of rubber, immediately became smoke billowed after the violent explosion, and then a raging fire broke out.

It was completely black smoke, black smoke in the sky, and Toyoichi Matsuura, who was running to the deck, was blackened by smoke, and Toyoi Matsuura staggered, almost unable to run.

Hit by so many torpedoes, the transport ship was almost blown in two, and the hull immediately tilted, and the deck was tilted, no wonder Matsuura Yutaka couldn't stand still, and finally ran out of his cabin, and it took a lot of effort to run to the deck.

Picking up a lifebuoy, Toyoichi Matsuura was about to jump into the sea, but at this time, the hull that was tilting suddenly broke and broke into two. The disconnected position is under the foot of Toyoichi Matsuura.

"No !!"

Toyoshi Matsuura let out a terrible scream, and then he fell, all the way down. It fell right inside a large pile of burning rubber and was quickly engulfed in flames. The hull of the ship, broken in two, sank at a visible rate.

The rest of the transport ships, which were hit by torpedoes one after another, were also flooded with seawater in large quantities, and thick smoke rose straight up and began to tilt slowly. It began to sink slowly.

Some small Japan, in a panic, began to jump into the sea and abandoned ships one after another.

Inside the submarine. There were bursts of cheers from the fighters, who had sunk all the small Japanese ships beautifully, and not a single one was spared.

It didn't take long for the submarines to surface. Then sail off into the distance. Leaving behind a few sinking ships, leaving behind those little Japan who are still struggling in the sea.

The soldiers did not pay any attention to this little Japan, which was still struggling in the sea, because it was far from the mainland, and the fate of these little Japan was to sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Over the city of Wuxi.

Several reconnaissance planes were conducting reconnaissance in this area, and the little devils in the Wuxi area naturally discovered these reconnaissance planes, and these little devils did not remember how many times they had spotted these reconnaissance planes.

At the beginning, the little devils also used anti-aircraft machine guns to drive them away. However, it was found that there was not much effect after that. The little devils ignored it.

At the headquarters of the 101st Division in the city, division commander Jiro Ishikawa was outside the headquarters, holding a telescope and looking at a reconnaissance plane of the newly formed 6th Army in the sky.

Seeing this reconnaissance plane, Ishikawa Jiro's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "Yaga, it's another plane of the newly formed 6th Army." ”

Yesterday's big air battle Ishikawa Jiro had already learned that his own planes had almost lost everything, and Ishikawa Jiro knew that this area would be full of free movement areas for the planes of the newly formed 6th Army.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the planes of the new 6th Army frequently conduct reconnaissance on us, and we have almost no secrets to speak of in front of the new 6th Army." A devil major general next to him put down his binoculars and said worriedly.

After the recovery of Suzhou, the little devils in Wuxi, which is very close to Suzhou, are very nervous, especially the little devils of the 101st Division, and Jiro Ishikawa is no exception. Ishikawa Jiro was also worried that the new 6th Army would attack Suzhou.

Whatever you are worried about, it didn't take long for a devil Shaozuo to run over in a hurry, and said with an anxious face: "Your Excellency the division commander, reliable intelligence, a large number of troops of the newly formed 6th Army in the Suzhou area have begun to move north, and the target may be Wuxi." ”

Hearing this, Ishikawa Jiro thought, the new 6th Army is moving so fast, it has just captured Suzhou, and it is about to move to Wuxi, thinking about it, Ishikawa Jiro said in a deep voice.

"Order the 3rd Wing to hold the area around the Baima River, and then order all the Imperial Alliance troops to go to the Baima River position to assist the 3rd Wing in the defense, in addition, all the troops outside Suzhou City will enter the city and prepare for street fighting"

Ishikawa Jiro quickly issued a series of orders, including a request for reinforcements from Okamura Ninji.

There is a 30 to 50 meter wide river between Suzhou and Wuxi, which is the Baima River, which flows from northeast to southwest and flows into Taihu Lake at the same time, separating Suzhou and Wuxi.

All the roads and railways from Suzhou to Wuxi must cross the White Horse River, that is to say, the White Horse River will cut off all the roads and railways from Suzhou to Wuxi.

All the bridges on the river were blown up, and when the new 6th Army began to attack Suzhou, Ishikawa Jiro of Wuxi ordered almost all the bridges to be blown up, leaving only two main bridges for his troops to go south to reinforce Suzhou.

Later, when Suzhou was about to be recovered, and there was no need for reinforcements, the 101st Division blew up the two most rearly bridges, so that all roads from Suzhou to Wuxi were cut off.

The little devil already knew that the troops of the newly formed 6th Army, including the chariots, basically advanced along the road, because the Yangtze River Delta area is covered with water networks and rivers, and it will be difficult to move along the road, and it may be very slow.

In order to block the troops of the new 6th Army, which might move north, the 101st Division built a large number of fortifications along the north bank of the Hakuba River, forming a long position along the river, which was the Hakuba River position in the mouth of Ishikawa Jiro.

On the White Horse River position, the little devils deployed heavy troops, a whole infantry wing, more than 3,000 little devils, in addition, there are a large number of puppet troops, and the number of puppet troops on the position is not less than the number of little devils, in addition, Ishikawa Jiro also ordered that all the puppet troops be deployed along the White Horse River position.

There are absolutely more than 10,000 puppet troops in Wuxi, and all of these puppet troops have been deployed to the area of the White Horse River.

Japanese positions on the White Horse River.

On the position, a large number of fortifications can be seen everywhere, not only a large number of anti-aircraft guns, but also a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, probably all the anti-aircraft machine guns of the 101st Division, all the anti-aircraft machine guns, all the anti-aircraft machine guns are deployed on this long position along the river.

It is no wonder that Ishikawa Jiro ordered all the troops outside the city to enter the city to prepare for street fighting, and it is one thing that the street fighting can last longer, and the longer it lasts, the more beneficial it is for the Japanese army, and it can wait for the smooth arrival of reinforcements.

On the other hand, because except for the 3rd Wing on the White Horse River position, the rest of the units of the 101st Division have almost no combat artillery, no anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, without these weapons, what will happen to the bombing of aircraft and the tank group of the newly formed 6th Army?

Taketaro Kawamoto, the captain of the 3rd Wing, with a few devil officers, stood on the river bank, looking at the river thirty or forty meters wide in front of him, and seemed to have good confidence.

Obviously, Taketaro Kawamoto has received information that the troops of the newly formed 6th Army have begun to leave Suzhou and move north, and on the position, many little devils are preparing for battle, a straight machine gun has been erected, and a lot of battle defense guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have been prepared, and it seems that they can fire at any time.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, there is also our huge heavy artillery group behind our position, and our position is impregnable." A devil next to him, Shaozuo, also looked confident.

The Hakuba River in front of him was undoubtedly able to block the chariot group of the new 6th Army, and without the guidance of the chariots, if the new 6th Army relied on infantry, Kawamoto Taketaro was confident that he could stop the enemy on the other side of the river.

In addition, Taketaro Kawamoto was not afraid of the heavy artillery group of the newly formed 6th Army, because not far behind the Hakuba River position, there was a huge Japanese artillery position, and it was all heavy artillery.

This is the little devil secretly deployed overnight, unaware, everything is very secret, and the artillery position is camouflaged after the deployment, every heavy artillery, every big truck is tightly camouflaged, even if there are planes in the air to detect it.

Thinking of the huge heavy artillery group behind him, Taketaro Kawamoto laughed happily, as if imagining that the heavy artillery group of the new 6th Army began to shell his position, and was immediately bombarded by the huge heavy artillery group behind him, and suffered heavy losses.

All the heavy guns of the 101st Division of more than 100 mm were concentrated here, 12 155 mm field guns, 24 105 mm field guns, a total of 36 heavy guns.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, all the Imperial Allies have come over to assist us in defending our positions according to the orders of the division commander."

Holding the binoculars, it seemed that he really saw a large number of puppet troops coming here on the road in the distance, and Taketaro Kawamoto was happy, "Yo Xi! Deploy all the Imperial Allied forces to the forefront of our positions. ”

The White Horse River position is very close to Wuxicheng, less than ten kilometers away, these puppet troops came very quickly, so far, the entire position has more than 3,000 little devils, tens of thousands of puppet troops, and the position stretches for several kilometers along the river.

North of Suzhou.

A long convoy was moving, this was one of the vanguard units of the new 6th Army, but this time it was different, the vanguard was actually an armored division, not a mechanized infantry division, but the soldiers of an infantry division.

Several roads to Suzhou were the same, with long convoys of infantry divisions. It seems that this time it was the infantry divisions that took the lead.
