At the same time that Qiao Anbang led the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment to besiege Suzhou, a battalion led by Qiao Anguo was besieged by heavy troops in the area of Chongde County, 70 kilometers east of Hangzhou.

In fact, the devils besieging a battalion are not too many, only about two wings, if it is only these two infantry wings, then even if the battalion can't win, it won't suffer a big loss, but the devils dispatched a large number of planes to assist in the battle.

The combat effectiveness of the 1st battalion, which did not have air supremacy, was greatly reduced, and the infantry companies suffered heavy losses, so they could only retreat while fighting, and finally withdrew to Chongde County, where they were heavily surrounded by devils, and the situation was extremely urgent.

Although Qiao Anbang transferred the air defense company under the artillery battalion to the first battalion before leaving, it was obviously unable to deal with the air threat of the devils with only one air defense company of more than 10 antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns.

And in the engagement, the air defense company has already suffered heavy losses, and it is simply impossible to pose a threat to the planes of the devils.

In Chongde County, Qiao Anguo looked solemn and boarded the head of Chongde City with the same battalion commander Kong Xiangjie and deputy battalion commander Zhao Gengyuan and others.

Due to the incessant bombing of military planes, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Qiao Anguo took the initiative to abandon his position outside the city and withdrew the whole battalion into the city to hold on.

After the first battalion took the initiative to abandon the position outside the city, the devils took advantage of the situation to surround the county town of Chongde.

Raising the binoculars and looking at the devils waiting outside the city, Qiao Anguo couldn't help frowning, in fact, Qiao Anguo knew that the devils who fought with them were not too strong, and they were not even as good as the previous 18th Division.

With the equipment and assault firepower of the first battalion, if you choose a direction to break through, you still have a great chance of success.

It's just that it's still daytime, devil planes may appear at any time, the first battalion is a fully mechanized force, and it is impossible for military trucks to drill into the mountains and woods, and besides, there are flat rivers everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are few forests, and there are even fewer lofty mountains and mountains. 、

Even if the first battalion gave up the truck and marched on foot, there would be no mountains to drill and no forests to enter, so marching in broad daylight would become a live target for devil planes.

Therefore, we can only wait until after dark to break through, but now it is just three poles, and it is still early before it gets dark, if there are only so many devils outside the city, then it is not a problem to hold on until dark with the weapons and equipment of the first battalion, but just behind the first battalion, the 18th Division and the Kunisaki detachment are in hot pursuit.

Once the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment arrived and joined up with the two devil infantry wings outside Chongde City, the first battalion would not be the opponent of the tens of thousands of devil troops, no matter how well-equipped.

Thinking of this, Qiao Anguo's already frowning brows furrowed even tighter.

Seeing that Qiao Anguo's face was a little solemn, the first battalion commander Kong Xiangzhi said comfortingly: "Deputy seat, don't worry too much, let's just fight after dark." ”

"Hmm!" Qiao Anguo didn't want to hit the confidence of Kong Xiangjie and the others, nodded in a heavy tone, and then turned around and took the lead and walked down the city.

………………

Hangzhou, the headquarters of the 10th Army of the Central China Dispatch Army.

Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake walked into the headquarters with a telegram in his hand, and saluted and reported to Commander Yanagawa Heisuke, who was doing tactical exercises with several combat staff officers in front of the sand table: "General, the garrison brigade has called to say that with the cooperation of the aviation troops, they have successfully surrounded the Chinese Tiger Regiment in Chongde County. ”

"Oh?" Yanagawa Heisuke was first taken aback when he heard this, and then nodded with great joy and said: "Yo Xi, this damn tiger can't run away, where are the 18th Division and the Kunisaki detachment now?" "It turned out that Yanagawa Heisuke planned to transfer a main wing from his garrison brigade to supplement the Kunisaki detachment and cooperate with the Kunisaki detachment to fight.

But after dawn, he learned the whereabouts of the first battalion led by Qiao Anguo through the reconnaissance plane, and the vengeful Yanagawa Heisuke regarded the first battalion as the main force of the Tiger Regiment, so he sent all the garrison brigades and regiments left in Hangzhou in one go, and sent a telegram to the Third Flying Corps asking for help, asking the Third Flying Regiment to cooperate with their actions, preparing to drag the Tiger Regiment first, and then mobilize the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment to surround and annihilate the Tiger Regiment.

What Yanagawa Heisuke did not expect was that the Tiger Ben Regiment was so vulnerable that the garrison brigade alone repelled it with the assistance of the aviation and surrounded it in the county seat of Chongdeok.

Tanabe Moritake was also very excited, and hurriedly bowed his head respectfully and replied: "General Huiyu, the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment have now arrived in Huzhou, and they are currently rushing to arrive. ”

"Yo Xi, order Noboru Kunisaki and Sadao Nakajima, let them speed up the march, rush to Chongde County as soon as possible, and encircle and annihilate the Tiger Ben!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded very proudly.

"Hay!" Tanabe Moritake suddenly bowed his head in response, and then turned around and left with his saber on his shoulder.

………………

Shanghai, known as the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army.

Due to the recurrence of his illness, Matsui Ishone, who is currently the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, is now recuperating in his special care ward, and although he is nominally the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, in fact the command of the troops is not in his hands

The original Shanghai Dispatch Army is now under the command of Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, the commander of the 10th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, and himself are old rivals, and Matsui Ishine can now command several garrison brigades and the Third Flying Corps of the Air Corps that remain in Shanghai.

The Third Fleet of the Navy ignored Matsui Ishine even more with affection, saying that it was not a day or two before the Navy and the Army did not get along.

However, all this is no longer important to Matsui Ishone, who is over the age of sixties, and he just wants to wait until the Central China Dispatch Army captures Nanjing, the capital of China, and adds another brilliant military achievement to his military career, and then he can retire and return to China.

Although the Empire's holy war and the conquest of China were far from complete, Matsui Ishone knew that it was the next task, and the thought that he would soon be able to return to his hometown to reunite with his family, Matsui Ishone's shriveled face couldn't help but show a smile.

Just when Matsui Ishine was fantasizing about a better life after his honorable resignation, suddenly a rush of footsteps sounded outside the ward, followed by a knock on the door: "Report to Your Excellency the General, General Iizawa Mamoru sent an urgent telegram from Suzhou." ”

"Huh?" Matsui Ishine and Iizawa Mori are old partners, when he was the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, Iizawa Mamoru was his chief of staff, hearing Iizawa Mamoru's call, Matsui Ishine immediately started from the hospital bed, tidied up his clothes and said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”

With a creak, a devil Osa pushed the door in his hand with a telegram, and suddenly retracted his feet and saluted Matsui Ishone: "General! ”

"Hmm!" Matsui Ishine nodded, and then asked, "What's the matter with General Iizawa Mamoru calling?" ”

"Returning to the general, General Iizawa Mamoru said in the telegram that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army has captured Wuxi, and now the troops are besieging Suzhou, and the situation in Suzhou is urgent, and I request the general to send aviation to provide air support as soon as possible!" Devil Osa replied quickly.

"What? A mess of tigers? Matsui Ishine was shocked when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Is that the tiger group that defeated the 10th Army Kunizaki Detachment a few days ago?" ”

"Yes, General." The devil Dazuo bowed his head again and replied.

"Why hasn't this tiger group been wiped out yet?" Matsui Shigen was very dissatisfied and puzzled: "They suddenly appeared in Suzhou, how did they break through the imperial army's defense line?" ”

"I don't know what this humble position is, but the 10th Army seems to be besieging the Tiger Ben Regiment in the area of Chongde County, and more than an hour ago, General Yanagawa Heisuke personally sent a telegram asking for help to the Third Flying Corps, requesting air support from the air force." The devil Dazuo replied.

"Yaga! What the hell is going on? How can there be two tigers in a mess? Which one is real? Matsui Ishine was furious when he heard this.

"General, please calm your anger, no matter which is a group of tigers, but it is undoubtedly the Zhina army, but the current situation in Suzhou is urgent, so we think that we should reinforce Suzhou first, after all, Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace is in Suzhou, if Suzhou is lost, then the consequences will be unimaginable!" The devil Dazuo looked up and suggested.

"Hmm." Matsui Shigen thought about it and immediately nodded: "Order the Third Flying Corps to immediately transfer its subordinate aviation units back and make every effort to reinforce Suzhou, and send the third and fifth reading brigades to immediately set off along the railway to aid Suzhou City!" ”

"General, are you transferring all divisions and regiments on the Nanjing front back to Suzhou?" Devil Osa asked softly.

"No, the city of Nanjing can be broken overnight, and now the divisions and regiments on the front line are withdrawn, wouldn't it be a waste of all the previous achievements? Moreover, there were still several garrison brigades of the imperial army in the city of Suzhou, plus the air support of the aviation troops, which was enough to hold out until the reinforcements arrived. Matsui Ishone said resolutely.

"Hay! The general is wise! The devil Dazuo slapped a horse, and quickly turned around and led away.

………………….

Outside the city of Suzhou, the headquarters of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

Yali was sitting in front of the radio at the moment listening to the devil's radio signal, and Qiao Anbang was a little anxious pacing back and forth behind Yali with his hands behind him, anxiously waiting.

Just when Qiao Anbang was about to get impatient, Yali suddenly took off her headphones, turned to Qiao Anbang a little tiredly, and said: "Tuanzao, I heard that the army in Suzhou City sent a telegram asking for help to the Shanghai Central China Dispatch Command, and soon after, the Shanghai Central China Dispatch Command called back that the Third Flying Corps had been transferred back and was ready to fully support Suzhou, and there were two Reading Infantry Brigades rushing to reinforce it. ”

"Great." Qiao Anbang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said to Yali: "Send a telegram to the eldest brother immediately, tell him that the devil's air force has been transferred by us, and let him immediately break through to the east and rush to Suzhou to meet us!" ”

"Yes!" Yali happily responded, then turned around and put on the headphones again and got busy.
