Hangzhou, the headquarters of the 10th Army.

Commander Yanagawa Heisuke, who had not slept all night, looked at the telegram in his hand with a solemn face, which was sent by the 6th Division and the 114th Division from the Nanjing front.

The content of the message is probably that they were stubbornly resisted by the squadron, and the progress of the battle was relatively slow......

After reading the telegram in a hurry, Yanagawa Heisuke asked Tanabe Moritake, the chief of staff next to him, in a solemn tone: "Tanabe-kun, the frontal attack has been blocked, what are the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment doing now?" Haven't you wiped out the tiger bunch yet? ”

"Your Excellency General Hui, so far the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment have not informed us of the battle situation, so the humiliation is not clear." Moritake Tanabe replied respectfully.

"Yaga, immediately send a telegram to Nakajima and Kunizaki Noboru to inquire about the battle situation." Yanagi said angrily.

"Hay!" Tanabe Moritake hurriedly bowed his head in response, and immediately turned around and left.

……………

In Yixing County, the night gradually dissipated, and the sky slightly revealed the white of the fish's belly. In the woods outside the city, more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment were resting in the forest.

As early as about 3 o'clock in the morning, Qiao Anbang led the artillery battalion, guard company, reconnaissance company, health team, baggage team, and other troops directly under the regiment to Yixing County, and although the first and second battalions were on foot, their morale was high after winning the battle.

After the whole regiment joined forces, Qiao Anbang immediately ordered the troops to enter the dense forest outside the city to rest and stand by, and the officers and men of the Tiger Ben Regiment spent the whole night in the march and battle, and the officers and men were physically and mentally exhausted, and they urgently needed to rest.

Especially the infantry battalions, they marched for nearly 100 miles and fought against the devils, and they needed to rest and recuperate.

And Qiao Anbang also needs to discuss the next march route with everyone, the Tiger Ben Regiment has taken three cities overnight, and the high-level of the army will definitely know soon, so they will definitely make a contingency next, so it may not be so easy for the Tiger Ben Regiment to advance in the direction of Shanghai.

Then the original battle plan of the Tiger Ben Regiment has lost its practical and feasible surname, so Qiao Anbang has to discuss with everyone again to formulate a new battle plan.

In the dense forest, Qiao Anbang gathered the military commanders of the battalions and companies together.

After inspecting the crowd, Qiao Anbang spoke first: "Ladies and gentlemen, last night we successively captured the three cities of Lishui, Liyang and Yixing, which not only caused heavy losses to the devils, but also successfully mobilized the 18th Division and the Guoqi Detachment of the Yue Army, so that the intention of the Guoqi Detachment and the 18th Division to attack Nanjing along the Jingwu Highway has been broken by us, and it can be regarded as reducing some pressure on Nanjing. ”

"However, we are still far from completing our mission, and the city of Nanjing is still in danger, so we still need to work hard and continue the offensive until we force the troops outside Nanjing to return to the division." Qiao Anbang paused and said.

"Tuanzuo, what do you say, the brothers will fight, with you leading the brothers, we will definitely be able to fight to Shanghai!" Cao Er, the commander of the second battalion, took the lead in speaking out.

"Yes, Camp Commander Cao is right! With the regimental commander, we will definitely be able to fight to Shanghai! Zhao Gengyuan, deputy commander of the first battalion, also immediately echoed.

"As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to accomplish this unshirkable mission, and we will definitely be able to save Nanjing and save the 700,000 Nanjing fathers and villagers in the city." Qiao Anbang said this, and said: "However, at present, we have succeeded in successive counterattacks, and we may soon attract the attention of the high-level devils, and at that time they will definitely send heavy troops to surround and intercept us, so we must discuss the next march route and battle plan now." ”

As soon as Qiao Anbang's voice fell, everyone began to discuss it, but it was a pity for Qiao Anbang that except for Kong Xiangjie, there were almost no feasible suggestions among the others.

Thinking about it, I am relieved, let these big characters not know a single one, and the old man who has not been in the military academy for a day comes to agree on the battle plan, just like forcing Zhang Fei to embroider.

Just when Qiao Anbang was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, Yali, the commander of the communication training company, walked over with a telegram in her hand, and stood up with her chest on the ground and said: "Tuanza!" ”

"Huh?" Seeing Yali coming with a telegram in her hand, Qiao Anbang hurriedly got up and asked, "Company Commander Liu, what's the matter?" ”

"Just now I overheard some very dense radio signals." Yari replied softly.

"Oh? The signal from there? "Qiao Anbang is interested, last time he was able to turn the 18th Division around and capture their logistics base Gaochun in one fell swoop, but thanks to Yali's deciphering work.

"Suzhou." Yali replied: "After deciphering it, I found out that this is an operational message sent by the former enemy commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army to the 9th and 16th divisions of the front line of the Japanese Army. ”

"The former enemy commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army?" Qiao Anbang was shocked. He knew that the former commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Dispatch Army at this time was Prince Hatohiko of the Asahing Palace, who succeeded Matsui Shigen, and this person was also the initiator of the Nanjing Massacre!

"Yes, it is the former enemy commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army." Yali nodded and replied,

"Is that him?" Qiao Anbang muttered a few words, and then fell into deep thought.
