Chapter 90: The siege of Suzhou
"Kill Quack!" As more and more officers and soldiers of the Tiger Regiment have broken through the fire resistance of the devils and rushed to the head of the city, Liujiumi, who is unwilling to fail, brandished his command knife and roared and screamed.
"Dog, call your mother's ball!" A senior soldier raised his Garand rifle and aimed it at Liujiumi, and fired three shots in succession.
The command knife in Liujiumi's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he fell backwards with an unwilling face.
The next moment, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Tiger Regiment swarmed into the city, and soon wiped out the remnants of the devils in the city, recovering this important town in the south of the Yangtze River that had just fallen for a few days.
As soon as the battle ended, Qiao Anbang led the guard company into Wuxi City, and said to the attendant guards next to him as he walked: "Inform all battalions and companies to rest for half an hour, and immediately march to Suzhou after half an hour!" ”
"Yes!" The attendant guards answered, and hurriedly led the order to leave.
After entering the city, Qiao Anbang temporarily moved his regimental headquarters into the city, and not long after Qiao Anbang sat down in the temporary regimental headquarters, he heard a commotion outside: "Let me in, I want to find the regiment leader, let me in......"
"What's going on?" Qiao Anbang got up and strode out, only to see Chu Yan being blocked by the guards in a hurry, and Yali also followed behind, seeing Qiao Anbang's face couldn't help but show a touch of crimson.
"Bang... Tuanza, I have something to look for you. Chu Yan almost spat out when she saw Qiao Anbang, but after seeing Qiao Anbang's fierce eyes, she hurriedly changed her words.
"Come in." Qiao Anbang looked at Yali behind Chu Yan with a helpless expression, and had already guessed one or two.
After taking Yali and Chu Yan into the regiment headquarters, Qiao Anbang waved his hand and drove out several communication soldiers, turned his head and asked, "Sister Yan, what's the matter with you?" It's so hot. ”
"Brother Bang, why are you sending me away?" Chu Yan pouted.
"The big war is coming, and it will be dangerous for you to stay any longer, so you must go!" Qiao Anbang said in a resolute tone.
"No, I'm not leaving! I'm also a female fighter now, and I can stay and take care of the wounded. Chu Yan immediately objected.
"If you don't go, you can't go, you have to listen to me about this, Captain Liu, take her away." Jo Anbang waved his hand at Yali and turned his head away.
"If you don't go, if you don't go, if you don't go, you won't go, and I won't leave anything." Chu Yan broke free of Yali's hand, and said with a face full of grievances: "Why do you have to let me go, do you hate me so much?" ”
Just when Qiao Anbang was about to explain, a communication soldier rushed in and said urgently: "The regimental seat, the deputy seat is urgent!" ”
"Huh?" Qiao Anbang's heart was suddenly shocked, he stretched out his hand to take the telegram, hurriedly looked at it, his face became solemn for a moment, and after a moment of silence, Qiao Anbang raised his head and ordered: "Order all battalions, stop resting, and immediately march to Suzhou!" ”
"Yes!" The communications soldier responded with a bang and immediately took the order and left.
"Brother Bang, what about me..."Seeing Qiao Anbang get up and want to leave, Chu Yan hurriedly asked.
"Don't go back to the health team for the time being, let me stay in the communications company honestly." After speaking, Qiao Anbang instructed Yali again: "Help me take care of her." ”
"Hmm." Yali nodded in agreement with extreme gentleness.

Suzhou, Tianxiang Inn.
At this time, the Tianxiang inn was full of armed devil soldiers inside and out, and the inn had been cleared, and Prince Hatohiko, who was currently the commander-in-chief of the enemy before the Nanjing Campaign of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, was sitting in the lobby drinking accompanied by several subordinates.
At the front desk, several people wearing heavy makeup and kimonos were dancing cherry blossom dances, and at this moment, the Tianxiang Inn had become the headquarters of Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace, and he had chosen such a place since he came to Suzhou.
Although the owner of Tianxiang Inn was unwilling, he was afraid of the fierceness of the devil and had to endure humiliation and submit.
Listening to the soft cherry blossom song, Hatohiko seems to enjoy it and is extremely comfortable.
However, at this moment, a devil officer hurriedly walked in, and suddenly closed his feet and said to Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace: "Your Royal Highness, the 9th Division is calling. ”
"The 9th Division? What's the matter? Hatohiko, who was already drunk and hazy, leaned back in his chair and tilted his head and asked impatiently.
"Returning to His Highness, General Ji Jia Liangfu of the 9th Division called and said that a large number of regular Chinese troops had suddenly appeared in Wuxi, and they were currently storming the county town of Wuxi, and General Ji Jia Liangfu suggested that we immediately strengthen the garrison, and if necessary, please withdraw to Shanghai first." The devil officer bowed his head very respectfully and replied.
"What? What do you say? Hearing this, Huo Ran got up and grabbed the officer's collar and said angrily: "Let me withdraw to Shanghai?" Hahaha......"
After laughing wildly for a while, Hatohiko turned his head to the chief of staff on the side, Iizawa Mamoru and said, "Iizawa-kun, did you hear, they asked me to withdraw to Shanghai." ”
"Your Highness, please calm your anger, the origin of the enemy in Wuxi is unknown, and it is recommended to order martial law in the whole city to strengthen precautions first." Mamoru Iizawa was not drunk, and he was not as rampant and arrogant as the fanatical imperial sect of Hatohiko Asakanomiya, so he immediately persuaded him.
Hearing Iizawa Mamoru's persuasion, Hatohiko Asakamiya let go of the officer and patted him on the shoulder, and said extremely arrogantly: "Do you understand?" ”
"Hai, I understand." The devil officer bowed his head again and again.
"Carry out the order!" Hatohiko waved his hand impatiently at the officer, then turned around and sat down, picked up a glass of red wine, and looked up.
The devil officer retreated quickly, Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace had a bad temper, everyone knew that he didn't want to touch his head here again.
After the officer withdrew, Hatohiko Asakanomiya laughed with extreme disdain: "Even a stupid and cowardly person is worth letting me retreat on my own initiative?" I said that the Imperial Army of this empire can block a hundred with one, even if they have an army of 100,000, they are not the opponent of the imperial army! ”
Everyone didn't dare to refute, and they were also the same as Hatohiko of Asaka Palace in their hearts, they were extremely contemptuous, and they were all disdainful of **'s combat effectiveness, so they nodded in agreement.
Only Iizawa Mamoru was a little uneasy, and seemed to vaguely feel that things were not so simple, but for a while he couldn't say why.

Headquarters of the 9th Division.
Ryosuke Yoshika was fidgeting and anxiously pacing back and forth in the headquarters, when suddenly, Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi strode in with a heavy face.
Seeing Nakagawa Guang's heavy face, Ji Jia Ryosuke's heart suddenly sank, and he stopped and asked, "Nakagawa-kun, how is the situation?" Did Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya call back? ”
Nakagawa Guang shook his head and said with a heavy face: "Prince Asaka didn't call back, but the liquor brigade called." ”
"Oh? How's it going? "Although Ryosuke Yoshika has already guessed that the situation may not be good, he still needs to be sure.
"Wuxi has been lost, and the liquor brigade has left all the jade pieces below the captain of the liquor brigade!" Hiroshi Nakagawa replied in a heavy tone.
"What? Wuxi lost so quickly? Even though Ryosuke Yoshika was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes, Wuxi City was captured by the Zhina Army in less than half an hour." Nakagawa Hiroshi nodded with a gloomy face.
"Half an hour..."Ji Jia Ryosuke couldn't help but gasp, and asked in surprise: "Nakagawa-kun, has the Liujiu Brigade figured out that it was the Zhina Army that attacked Wuxi?" ”
Nakagawa Guang shook his head, and then said: "General, don't think about it, there is no doubt that it must be a group of tigers in the Chinese army." ”
"Oh? How so? Ryosuke Yoshika asked puzzled.
"In addition to this Tiger Bun Regiment, what other troops can capture a fortified city garrisoned by hundreds of imperial troops in half an hour? The general should not forget that this Tiger Regiment defeated Kunisaki Deng's Kunisaki detachment in one fell swoop in the Ma'anshan area some time ago, and although there were factors such as setting up an ambush in advance to surprise the battle, the combat effectiveness of this Tiger Regiment can be seen from this. Hiroshi Nakagawa calmly analyzed.
"Yaga Yalu, if this is the case, then what is Nakajima Sadao's 18th Division for? How could they let this tiger run around Wuxi? Ji Jia Liang Fu said angrily.
"General, now is not the time to be held responsible, if the raid on Wuxi is really a group of tigers, then the top priority at the moment is to report the situation to Prince Hatohiko of the Chaoxiang Palace, so that he must be vigilant, strengthen the garrison in Suzhou, for the sake of his safety, it is best to persuade him to withdraw to Shanghai." Nakagawa explained.
"Hmm." Ji Jia Liangfu nodded in agreement when he heard this, and then said: "Zhongchuan-kun, you will immediately send another urgent telegram to His Royal Highness the Prince, informing him of the intelligence of the Tiger Regiment's raid on Wuxi, so that he can prepare early." ”
"Hai, let's do it right away." Nakagawa Hiroshi bowed his head suddenly, and then turned around and left with his saber on his shoulder.
………………
On the Wusu Highway, the Tiger Ben Regiment is moving forward at full speed.
"Brothers, speed up, there is Suzhou City in front, and the headquarters of the Shanghai Dispatch Army is in the city, capture Suzhou City, and capture the Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace alive! We will be able to save Nanjing in one fell swoop and force the front-line troops of the Yue Army to return to the division! Qiao Anbang picked up the walkie-talkie with some excitement and urged loudly.
"The regimental seat order, capture Suzhou City, and capture the Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace alive!"
"The regimental seat order, capture Suzhou City, and capture the Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace alive!"
"The regimental seat order, capture Suzhou City, and capture the Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace alive!"
Officers at all levels quickly passed Qiao Anbang's orders to the compartments of the trucks, and the officers and men were eager to try it when they learned about it.
Sitting in the armored car, the bumps in the body did not attract Qiao Anbang's attention at all, and at the moment he was full of worries about Qiao Anguo and the first battalion, just now Qiao Anguo called to say that they had been frequently bombed by the air force and besieged by ground troops, and the situation was very bad.
At this moment, it is definitely too late to reinforce the first battalion, and the only way to attack Suzhou City is to attack Suzhou City as soon as possible, once Suzhou is tightened Chaoxiang Palace, this old devil will definitely ask Shanghai for help, then the devil infantry and air force besieging the first battalion will be able to be attracted over, so that the predicament of the first battalion will not be solved.
………………
In Suzhou City, in a box on the second floor of the Tianxiang Inn, Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace was already drunk, and he fell asleep after being helped into the box by two singers.
Although the chief of staff, Mamoru Iizawa, had also drunk a lot of alcohol, the uneasiness in his heart prompted him not to rest like the others, but to take two guards to the telecommunications room in the backyard of the Tianxiang Inn.
As soon as Mamoru Iizawa wanted to step into the telecommunications room, a communications soldier rushed out of it and almost crashed into Mamoru Iizawa's arms.
"Yaga!" Iizawa Mamoru slapped the communication soldier in front of him twice with great dissatisfaction with the wine, and scolded angrily: "What kind of work? ”
"General." Seeing that it was Iizawa Shou Devil's Messenger Soldier, he was terrified, and hurriedly stood up and bowed his head and said, "I deserve to die for my humble position, please forgive the general." ”
"Why do you look so flustered?" Iizawa asked in a cold tone.
"Returning to the general, the 9th Division has sent an urgent telegram again." The communications soldier hurriedly bowed his head and replied, handing the telegram in his hand to Mamoru Iizawa.
Iizawa Shouyi took the message, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed, and before he could finish it, he suddenly turned around and strode away.
The two guards were at a loss for what to do, and quickly turned around and followed closely.
Iizawa Shou held the telegram with a heavy face and came all the way to the outside of the box where Hatohiko of Asaka Palace was, and the two guards guarding outside saw him and hurriedly stood up and saluted, "General." ”
"Hmm." Iizawa Mamoru nodded lightly and then said, "How is His Royal Highness?" ”
"I'm asleep." One of the guards replied.
"Open the door quickly, I have an urgent matter with Your Highness." Mamoru Iizawa urged anxiously.
"Hay!" The guard bowed his head sharply, and then turned and opened the door.
Iizawa Mamoru hurriedly strode into the box with a telegram in his hand, only to see that Hatohiko Asakanomiya had fallen asleep, he walked over quickly and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, wake up quickly, His Royal Highness the Prince, emergency ......" However, how did Mamoru Iizawa shout, and the drunk Asakanomiya Hatohiko just didn't wake up.
Just when Iizawa was at a loss, suddenly a soldier rushed in, and suddenly retracted his feet and said: "Report to Your Excellency General, scouts report, a large number of Zhina troops are coming from the direction of Wuxi." ”
"Huh? How many troops did the Chinese army have? Iizawa Mamoru was shocked and immediately asked.
"The strength is at least five or six thousand, and the scouts also report that this Chinese army is a highly mechanized force, all of them marching in military trucks, in addition to large groups of armored fighting vehicles and motorized infantry." The devil soldier replied respectfully.
"Baga, this must be the 9th Division's said China Tiger Regiment." Iizawa Mamoru pondered anxiously for a moment, and then said: "Order all garrison brigades to immediately prepare for battle, prepare to meet the attack, and send a telegram to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters to request the Third Flying Corps to provide air support!" ”
"Hay!" The devil soldier hurriedly bowed his head in response, and quickly took the order to leave.
…………….
Outside the city of Suzhou, the Tiger Regiment had already rushed to five miles northwest of the city, and immediately began to build positions, and the artillery battalion also began to build artillery positions to prepare for the next big battle.
In a hollow, Qiao Anbang was convening a meeting of several military commanders of the second and third battalions.
Several people were waiting for Qiao Anbang to send a combat mission around an operational map, Qiao Anbang pointed to Suzhou City on the map and raised his head to the crowd: "Third battalion commander, this siege of Suzhou, your three battalions will be the main attack, and the artillery battalion will fully assist you in launching an attack, do you have any confidence?" ”
"Yes! Please rest assured, if you can't take Suzhou City, you will shoot me! Li Yifeng, the commander of the third battalion, immediately said.
"Yes, Yifeng is right, we can't take Suzhou City, let's see you." Li Jupeng, the deputy battalion commander, also nodded and said, the two of them were extremely surprised and moved by Qiao Anbang's choice of their battalion as the main attack, and they knew what it meant for Qiao Anbang to choose them as the main attack.
"Hmm!" Qiao Anbang nodded with satisfaction and said to Cao Er: "Second Battalion Commander, the task of your battalion is to move to the east gate and north gate of Suzhou City, build fortifications on the spot, prevent the devils from escaping and assist the third battalion to launch a feint. ”
"Yes! Humble and clear, guarantee to complete the task! Cao Er nodded happily in response.
Without waiting for Qiao Anbang to speak, Zhang Xudong, the commander of the reconnaissance company, who had not spoken, said suspiciously and dissatisfiedly: "Tuanzao, then what are we doing in the reconnaissance company?" Also, you only surrounded Suzhou City on three sides with such a deployment, what if the devil escaped from the south gate? ”
"Huh." Qiao Anbang smiled slightly and then said: "The art of war has three missing clouds, if we surround Suzhou City, so that our forces will not only be scattered, but also make the devils feel that they are in a desperate situation, and they will definitely resist desperately, as the saying goes, the dog jumps over the wall when he is in a hurry, not to mention the devils, so it is not good for us to be surrounded by groups." Therefore, it is very useful for your reconnaissance company to stay, compared to the devils defending the city, I really hope that they can abandon the city and flee south! ”
Saying that, Qiao Anbang patted Zhang Xudong on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Wait patiently, you will fight, your reconnaissance company must be like the sharpest blade, and you must attack when you are most needed, as the so-called good steel is used on the blade!" ”
"Yes! Humble duty understood! Zhang Xudong immediately stepped forward.
"Alright, let's go get ready." Qiao Anbang waved his hand.
"Yes!" Everyone happily agreed, and immediately turned and left.
