However, Nakamura Izumi can't worry so much at this time, the division commander and the division headquarters were taken by the [***] team, he, the captain of the garrison, will definitely not escape the blame, and the final result is bound to be seppuku apology, so instead of being ordered to seppuku, it is better to die in battle, so that he will become a loyal minister loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Kill Quack, rush up, kill, shoot...... Shoot ......" Izumi Nakamura, who made up his mind, completely disregarded the lives of his subordinates, and vigorously brandished his command knife and ordered the charge.

Under the blockade of the powerful fire of the guard company, the ghost soldiers were hit one by one and fell to the ground in a miserable howl.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed devil soldier was horrified to find a bloody head hanging on the roof of the division headquarters, and immediately pointed to the roof in horror and said, "That's... That's Your Excellency the Division Commander..."

The other devil soldiers around him looked up at the roof when they heard the sound, and sure enough, they saw the bloody head of Sadao Nakajima.

Nakajima's tragic situation did not arouse the anger of the devils, but instead dispelled their last trace of courage to fight, and the division commanders were all dead, do you still need to fight this battle?

In addition, the firepower of the middle [***] team in front is so strong, rushing up is simply sending people to death.

The devil soldiers, who had no fighting spirit, began to turn around and flee one after another, one followed by the next, followed by ten, dozens, and soon the devil's escape caused a chain reaction.

Hundreds of devils turned around and ran away, and it was useless to let Nakamura Izumi scold him.

Enraged, Izumi Nakamura drew his command knife and slashed several of his fleeing subordinates in a row, but he still couldn't stop the other soldiers from fleeing.

At this moment, Qiao Anbang saw the opportunity and led the guard company to launch a counter-charge against the Nakamura brigade, and more than 300 soldiers of the guard company suddenly jumped out of cover with a roar and chased after the fleeing devil soldiers with steel guns.

......Hundreds of Garand semi-automatic rifles and Thomson submachine guns opened fire one after another, and the ghost soldiers who were desperately fleeing were knocked to the ground in pieces.

Izumi Nakamura, who was desperately trying to prevent his subordinates from evacuating, was the first to be hit by a torrential rain of bullets.

The rest of the devil soldiers only cared about escaping, and they had no power to resist, except for a few who ran fast and escaped, the rest were all wiped out by the guard company.

After the devil garrison brigade was eliminated, Qiao Anbang did not stick to the headquarters of the army, but led his troops to attack the position of the army outside the city, in order to cooperate with the main force outside the city to flank the devils in front and rear.

"Kill, rush!" The sound of shouting and killing outside the entire Huzhou city shook the earth, because the main forces of the devils were deployed in the front, and the rear was very empty, Qiao Anbang led the guard company to easily attack the joint headquarters of the 56th Wing and the 55th Wing of the Yue Army.

After the scuffle, the two captains of the 55.56th Wing of the Devil and most of the combat staff officers were all wiped out by the Tiger Brigade Guard Company, and only a few officers who commanded the operation at the front escaped the catastrophe.

After the loss of effective unified command, the defense lines of the units under the jurisdiction of the 55th and 56th Wings were quickly broken through one by one by the Tiger Brigade, and thousands of devils fell into a situation of fighting on their own, so far, there was no suspense in this battle.

About two hours later, at noon, the battle outside Huzhou City finally came to an end, and the two main infantry wings of the 18th Division, from the wing commander to the ordinary soldiers, were all wiped out by the Tiger Brigade in one fell swoop, and none of them escaped the net

Hangzhou, the headquarters of the Central China Front.

Although the Tiger Brigade had already gone to Huzhou, the cautious Yanagawa Heisuke still followed the advice of the chief of staff Tanabe Moritake, and hurriedly mobilized the puppet army around Hangzhou to rush to Hangzhou to strengthen the garrison of Hangzhou to ensure that everything was possible.

Yanagawa Heisuke had just finished answering the phone and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that the troops had arrived, when the chief of staff, Moritake Tanabe, walked in with a heavy face.

Seeing Tanabe Moritake's solemn expression, Yanagawa Heisuke's heart couldn't help but become nervous again, and he took the lead in asking, "Tanabe-kun, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? ”

"General, I just received a farewell message from the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 56th Wing of the 18th Division, Huzhou has been lost, and the headquarters of the 18th Division and the 55th and 56th Infantry Wings under its jurisdiction have all been wiped out." Moritake Tanabe replied in a heavy tone.

"What?" Yanagawa Heisuke was shocked and said in disbelief: "Tanabe-kun, what are you talking about?" ”

"General, Huzhou has been lost, the 18th Division has been completely destroyed, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Nakajima Sadao, Chief of Staff Koto Keiza Daisa, and thousands of imperial warriors have collectively shattered!" Tanabe Moritake replied with some sorrow, and at this moment, Tanabe Moritake couldn't understand how half of the division's strength could be defeated by the Tiger Brigade in this period of time, and it was the entire army from the division commander down to the privates.

Yanagawa Heisuke didn't say anything for a long time, and finally sat on the chair behind him like a deflated ball, and secretly said in his heart, it's over, it's over, this plan to encircle and annihilate the Tiger Brigade is about to come to naught

In Huzhou County, the Tiger Brigade didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, so it hurriedly started again.

In the first battle of Huzhou, the Tiger Brigade fought happily, if it wasn't for the fact that time did not allow, Qiao Anbang really wanted to lead the troops to turn around and kill Hangzhou, because through the radio, Qiao Anbang had already learned that the headquarters of the Central China Front Army was moving troops around to strengthen Hangzhou.

If the Tiger Brigade attacks Hangzhou, it may really be able to capture it, but at that time, I am afraid that the Tiger Brigade will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops.

Therefore, Qiao Anbang chose to evacuate, and before the army could catch up, he immediately evacuated, and then crossed the Yangtze River to the north, and finally returned to the Pheasant River Base Area

Hundreds of thousands of people dragged their children and their families to evacuate, but fortunately, there were no troops outside the city to attack the city, and there were no enemy planes and ships in the sky and on the river to bomb or harass them.

Under the strict orders of Bai Chongxi, the commander-in-chief in charge of the evacuation operation, all units strictly abided by the order that the people should be given priority and that women, girls and children should cross the river first, so the evacuation operation proceeded very smoothly.

In the war hall of the former presidential palace in Nanjing, Bai Chongxi stood solemnly in front of the giant map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, frowning and staring at him for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Bai Chongxi turned his head slightly, and saw Chen Cheng striding in.

"Brother Bai, the evacuation operation is going well, and the people have already evacuated two-thirds of the way, can we order some boats to be vacated to transport troops across the river?" Chen Cheng asked.

"No, if there are fewer ships and not enough, then it is likely to cause the troops to rush to withdraw, and if there are more, it will delay the evacuation of the people, so let's wait, and when all the people are withdrawn, it is not too late to let the troops withdraw."

"Well, okay then." Chen Cheng opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it, after all, the commander-in-chief of this evacuation operation was Bai Chongxi, and the decision was in Bai Chongxi's hands, Bai Chongxi didn't nod, and he didn't want to say anything.
