In front of him, the armored company was carrying out a slaughtering attack on more than 3,000 devils, and more than 50 armored combat vehicles lined up, crushing towards the crowd of devils while firing fiercely.

Behind the devils, thousands of infantry of the first and second battalions of the Tiger Ben Regiment who followed the pursuit also joined the ranks of the slaughter, although the combat effectiveness of the Devil Marines was not weak, but it was covered by stormy firepower in the face of hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns.

The devil soldiers on the flat road have no shelter, let alone strong fortifications to hide from, so they can only use their own flesh and blood to resist the dense firepower network of the squadron.

More than 3,000 marines were encircled in a narrow strip of less than two kilometers, and with the continuous advancement of the armored fighting vehicle group of the Tiger Regiment, this encirclement was gradually shrinking, and the casualties of the devils were increasing rapidly by geometric multiples.

Looking at the warriors of the imperial army who fell one after another under the intensive firepower of the Chinese chariots, several devil captains finally couldn't bear it, and hurriedly ordered the major teams to quickly turn around and attack the Chinese infantry in the rear, opening a breakthrough.

However, the devils soon discovered that the firepower of the Chinese infantry in their rear was also extremely strong, although the machine gun fire was slightly weaker than the group of armored fighting vehicles in front of them, but almost all the Chinese soldiers had an automatic weapon, and the continuous firepower was particularly strong.

A squadron of devil infantry in charge of the U-turn counterattack suffered heavy casualties within a few minutes, leaving nearly a hundred corpses behind and retreating.

Helplessly, several devil captains were in a hurry, and they pointed their command knives to the fields on both sides of the road, and rushed towards the fields with their subordinates.

However, the breakthrough route chosen by the devil in a hurry did prevent the pursuit of the ** armored combat vehicle group, because the soil in many fields was very wet, and the armored vehicles weighing several tons could not travel in all the fields at all.

Hearing the dense gunfire gradually moving away, Qiao Anbang suddenly got up, kicked the car door open and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Tuanza, the devil ran along the field!" Zhang Xudong rushed to report.

"Huh?!" Qiao Anbang immediately got out of the car when he heard this, raised his binoculars, and sure enough, he saw groups of devil soldiers running wildly in the field, and his armored combat vehicles were helplessly parked on the field, although the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were still firing, but it would not be long before the devils were able to run out of range.

At this moment, there was a faint roar of engines in the sky, and Qiao Anbang changed color when he heard the sound, turned around suddenly, and hurriedly searched with a telescope.

Soon he noticed a group of small black dots in the southwest sky, and looking at the gradually growing black dots, it was enough to show that they were moving very fast.

"Damn it, it's a little devil's reinforcement plane!" Qiao Anbang immediately turned his head and shouted to Zhang Xudong: "Quick, order all anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to prepare air defense immediately, and order the first and second battalions to immediately pursue the devil rout in the left and right directions, you must catch up with the devil infantry, the closer you get to them, the better!" Tell Kong Xiangjie and Cao Er that each battalion and company don't have to worry about messing up the formation, and the troops will act alone in squads and platoons, just chase the devils, and don't care about anything else! ”

Qiao Anbang knew that he could no longer hesitate, only to scatter his troops and chase the devils and the devils crisscrossed and entangled, they couldn't throw aerial bombs on the heads of the marines, right? In this way, the planes of the devils will not play a role.

"Yes!" Zhang Xudong hurriedly stepped forward and quickly turned around and left.

Soon the order was conveyed, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd battalions immediately shouted in unison and pursued in the left and right directions.

At the same time, the anti-aircraft machine gunners of the armored company pointed their machine guns at the sky, and the air defense crews were busy slowly twisting the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns.

"Your Excellency Kobayashi, look, there is a chariot!" A devil pilot was the first to spot the situation on the ground.

"Destroy them!" Captain Kobayashi, who was in charge of leading the attack, gave a decisive order with a cold expression.

"Hay!" All the devil pilots on the walkie-talkie immediately responded in unison, and soon a dozen Type 95 and Type 97 fighters and five Type 97 heavy bombers began to lower their altitude and dive towards the armored company on the ground.

Originally, the target of these fighters was to come and bomb the Chinese heavy artillery group, which posed a great threat to the Marine Corps, at the request of the Marine Corps Commander Eijiro Kondo, but they did not expect that the Marine Corps would be defeated so quickly, and the artillery battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment had been transferred after the artillery was over.

"Yaga Tooth Road! What's going on? As the altitude of the flight decreased, Captain Kobayashi found that the fields on the ground were full of fleeing Imperial Marines, and behind them countless Chinese soldiers were in hot pursuit.

"Could it be that the Marines have failed?" An adjutant guessed over the intercom.

"Captain, what are we going to do?" Seeing that the altitude was getting lower and lower, another devil pilot hurriedly asked.

At this moment, a dense number of anti-aircraft machine gun shells and anti-aircraft shells that exploded like fireworks suddenly rose on the ground, and the firelight flashed, and the wingman on the right side of Captain Kobayashi was hit by the shock wave of the explosion of the anti-aircraft shells on the spot, and the whole plane suddenly lost its balance and headed headlong.

The pilot's frightened screams came from inside the intercom: "Oh no, I was hit, I was shot......"

However, his voice was soon drowned out by a loud booming explosion, and the wingman, who had been descending rapidly, was met by dense anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and was blown up on the spot.

"Yaga Yalu!" Captain Kobayashi woke up from his surprise, hurriedly pulled up the fighter, and roared angrily: "The bomber dropped bombs and killed those despicable Chinans!" ”、

The bomb magazines of the five Type 97 heavy bombers were suddenly opened, and one after another were thrown down in the air by them as if they were pulling a fece.

"I ...... a sharp and piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded.

After the "boom boom boom ......" bomb landed, it exploded violently, and an unlucky armored car was swallowed up by a huge explosion on the spot, and the entire tank was directly destroyed by the huge explosive force, the body was broken in half, the wheels and anti-aircraft machine guns were all blown apart, and after the fire dissipated, the entire armored car was left with only two iron shells.

Seven or eight armored men and machine gunners were all killed, and none of them were spared.

An aerial bomb landed in a field about 100 meters away from Qiao Anbang, with a loud bang, Qiao Anbang was so shocked by the earthquake under his feet that he almost fell to the ground, the huge explosion stimulated Qiao Anbang's eardrums with a faint pain, and his ears roared for a while, and he couldn't hear the shouts of the guards next to him at all.

After a long while, Qiao Anbang shook his head abruptly, patted his ear, and the roar in his ears finally subsided.

"Tuanza, we already have four armored vehicles destroyed!" The guards reported in grief.

"Damn, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will have his own air force!" Qiao Anbang knew the disadvantage of not having air supremacy, so he immediately got into the armored car, picked up the radio walkie-talkie, and ordered in a deep voice: "Attention of all units, each platoon concentrates its firepower and alternately covers the retreat in the direction of Suzhou!" ”

Soon the platoons of the armored company received orders to withdraw along the road in the direction of Suzhou.

The machine gunners turned their guns and continued to fire heavily into the air.

Due to the fact that the armored vehicles were on the move, the hit rate of the Devil's bombers was negligible, and the fighters could not dive and strafe under the dense anti-aircraft fire network of the armored company.

After losing three fighters in succession, the angry Captain Kobayashi finally gave up the air attack on the armored company and flew towards Suzhou City with other fighters, their goal was very clear, that is, to destroy the heavy artillery group of the squadron.

The coordinates and directions had been provided by the Marines before, so regardless of whether the Marines had been defeated or not, Captain Kobayashi had to destroy them to vent his hatred.

However, when Captain Kobayashi led the fighter plane to fly to the intended destination, he found that there was no shadow of the squadron's artillery position on the ground at all, and when he was so angry that he wanted to turn around and bomb the Chinese armored group, Qiao Anbang had already led the armored company into the woods outside Suzhou and hid.

Captain Kobayashi, who was so angry that he could only drop a few bombs indiscriminately, and finally reluctantly returned.

………………

Two hours later, the city of Suzhou.

The officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Marine Corps, which were responsible for chasing devils, came back one after another, and this time the officers and men achieved fruitful results, except for some individual devils who ran fast and failed to catch up, most of them have been completely wiped out.

According to a rough count, more than 4,300 marines were annihilated by this Tiger Regiment, and it can be seen that there are very few devils who escaped.

Qiao Anbang was listening to the results of the first and second battalions report the battle, and a scout walked in quickly, stood up and saluted Qiao Anbang: "Tuanzao, a large number of devils have been found fifteen kilometers away from the southwest, including tanks, as well as a large number of artillery and infantry!" ”

"Huh?" Qiao Anbang got up when he heard this, and said after a moment: "This should be reinforcements from the Devil Marine Corps, how many troops do they have?" Are you still heading to Suzhou? ”

"The number of devils should be around five thousand, and they are still advancing, and they are very fast, they seem to be in a hurry!" The Scout nodded.

"Well, that's right, the devil's reinforcements must not know that their marines have been wiped out by us!" Qiao Anbang nodded thoughtfully.

"In the pursuit just now, we didn't give the devils a chance to breathe, and in the end, even their radio stations were captured or destroyed by us, so the devils should have been wiped out by us before they even had time to send a farewell message." The first battalion commander, Kong Xiangjie, continued Qiao Anbang's words.

Suddenly, the commander of the communication company, Ya Li, hurriedly walked over with a telegram in her hand, puffed up her chest and reported to Qiao Anbang: "Tuanza, I just learned that the main divisions of the Yue Army in the direction of Nanjing are rapidly advancing towards Suzhou, and at present, the Sixth Division, the Sixteenth and the Thirteenth Division have all entered the Danyang area, and the closest to us are the 18th Division and the Guoqi Detachment of the Yue Army, they have recaptured Wuxi, and they will soon be able to rush to Suzhou City!" ”

"The devil is coming so fast!" Qiao Anbang was slightly shocked when he heard this, he was not worried about the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment, the logistics and supplies of these two armies were already in short supply, and even ammunition was insufficient, what to use to attack the Tiger Regiment? Moreover, the Kunisaki detachment and the 18th division had fought with the Tiger Regiment, and in the case of insufficient ammunition, they should not dare to march to Suzhou alone, and should wait for the 6th, 16th, and 13th main divisions to arrive, and besiege Suzhou City with absolutely superior forces.

In fact, Qiao Anbang's guess was not wrong at all, after the 18th Division and the Kunizaki detachment captured Wuxi, they were not in a hurry to march to Suzhou, because the task given to them by Matsui Shigen was to garrison Wuxi and prevent the Tiger Ben Regiment from retreating by the same route.

Thinking of the air defense battle two hours ago, Qiao Anbang's brows couldn't help frowning, through this air defense battle, Qiao Anbang instantly realized that the Tiger Ben Regiment had no air supremacy, no matter how strong the air defense firepower was, it was also careless.

Without air supremacy, the field defensive positions outside the city of the Tiger Battalion and the artillery positions of their own side will be attacked by the devils from the air, and the fire reinforcement of the artillery battalion will be lost, even if the individual equipment of the infantry battalion is good, it will not help.

The artillery wings directly under the regiments of the army only needed a few rounds of artillery bombardment to destroy the non-reinforced concrete fortifications hastily built by the Tiger Regiment.

With the loss of the defensive positions outside the city, the loss of Suzhou City is inevitable.

Therefore, with the existing personnel and equipment of the Tiger Regiment, it is absolutely impossible to really defend Suzhou and fight head-on with the more than 100,000 army of devils, which is definitely looking for death.

The Tiger Regiment should give full play to its advantages of being mobile and strong, and fight a war of movement and attrition with the army.

Thinking of this, a crazy idea suddenly flashed in Qiao Anbang's mind, that is, to attack Shanghai.

First of all, the marines have been completely annihilated by themselves, and the rest are the more than 5,000 devil reinforcements from the direction of Shanghai.

Coupled with the more than 4,000 marines who were completely annihilated by the Tiger Regiment, then Shanghai dispatched at least nearly 10,000 people, can you imagine how many troops can be left in Shanghai at this time? Two or three thousand, right?

And the reason why the Tiger Ben Regiment held on to Suzhou was to be able to attract the main force of the army to return to the division, and now the strategic purpose has been achieved, because the Tiger Ben Regiment killed the old devil of Chaoxiang Palace, so now no matter whether the Tiger Ben Regiment defends Suzhou or not, the master groups of the devils will follow and pursue.

Not to mention that the Tiger Ben Regiment will attack Shanghai, and when the time comes, there is no need for Matsui Shigen to order, and the major main divisions of the devil will also desperately rush to Shanghai.

The location of Shanghai was so important that the army had to pay a terrible price of tens of thousands of casualties, and its geographical location and international political status had made it even more important.

Therefore, the devil would rather give up the entire Jiangnan than sit back and watch Shanghai fall.

However, if you want to attack Shanghai, then the first task is to defeat this army of reinforcements, which is less than 15 kilometers away from Suzhou City.

After making up his mind, Qiao Anbang immediately raised his head and ordered everyone in a deep voice: "Pass the order, the whole regiment will immediately assemble and prepare to attack!" ”

"Tuanza, are we going to give up Suzhou City?" When they heard that the whole group had gathered, everyone was shocked.

"Well, we don't defend Suzhou anymore, this time let's play big, let's attack Shanghai!" Qiao Anbang nodded calmly.

"What?! Attack Shanghai? Kong Xiangjie and the others were taken aback.

"What? Can't? Qiao Anbang asked deliberately.

"Dare! Don't dare! As long as the group seat says a word, we dare to go to Tokyo! Kong Xiangjie, Zhao Gengyuan and others expressed their positions.

"Then carry out the order!" Qiao Anbang waved his hand sharply.

"Yes!" Everyone immediately agreed, and immediately turned around and took the order.
