Huzhou County.

The 6th Cavalry Wing directly under the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, under the leadership of Wing Commander Inoki Jintaisa, finally arrived in Huzhou after a rapid march, but what Inomu Jintaisa and his subordinates saw were the corpses of the imperial army everywhere, the burned and broken sun flags, and all kinds of weapons and equipment scattered all over the place.

In addition to being angry, Inoki was surprised to find that the squadron [***], which had always been poorly equipped, had not even cleaned the battlefield this time, and all kinds of guns from the elite of the imperial army were everywhere.

In fact, how did Inoki Jinta know that Qiao Anbang didn't look down on Xiao Yuben's garbage equipment at all, so he led his troops to continue to retreat north without even cleaning the battlefield.

"Correspondent, immediately send a telegram to the division headquarters, Huzhou County has been broken by the Zhina Army, and the Zhina people are now missing, and our department is cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the corpses of the soldiers of the Imperial Army." Kinta Inoki ordered to the confidential officer behind him with an awe-inspiring expression.

"Hay." The confidential officer bowed his head abruptly in response, and immediately turned around and sent a telegram.

When the commander of the 6th Division, who was dozens of miles away, learned of the information, he immediately forwarded it to the Central China Front Headquarters.

Hangzhou, the headquarters of the Central China Front.

When Commander Yanagawa Heisuke and Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake were still lamenting the defeat in Huzhou, a communications staff officer walked in with a telegram in his hand, and said to the two with a heavy expression: "Report to Your Excellency the two generals, the 6th Division has called, and the 6th Cavalry Wing to which it belongs has arrived in Huzhou, and according to the report of the 6th Cavalry Wing, the people of China have abandoned the city and fled, and they do not know where to go. ”

Yanagawa Heisuke was furious when he heard this, and got up and shouted, "Yaga, order the 6th Cavalry Wing to pursue immediately. ”

"The general is angry." Tanabe Moritake immediately stopped, sighed and said: "Your Excellency General, I'm afraid it's too late to pursue now, you must know that the Tiger Brigade is fully mechanized, and the marching speed is very fast, even if the cavalry wing can catch up, it can't be easily pursued, the armored force of the Chinese people is completely the nemesis of the imperial cavalry, and the cavalry brigade of the Kunisaki detachment is a lesson from the past." ”

"What do you think we should do next? Continuing the offensive on Nanjing? Yanagawa asked with a frown.

"I'm afraid it won't work for the time being, the divisions and regiments on the front line of the imperial army are facing exhaustion of ammunition and logistical supplies, and they have been tossed by the Tiger Brigade, and the logistics supply lines of the imperial army have been interrupted so far, plus the divisions and regiments have been running back and forth for a long time, and the soldiers have long been exhausted, so the matter of attacking Nanjing can only be carried out after the imperial army has rested." Tanabe Moritake said and said: "I think that for now, we should first recapture Shanghai and replenish the lost air force before we can carry out the next step. ”

"Then did this Tiger Brigade just let them go?" Yanagawa Heisuke thought of the heavy losses caused by the Tiger Brigade to the Imperial Army, and he was unwilling.

"Your Excellency General, don't worry, the reason why the Tiger Brigade has been able to spur up and cause heavy losses to the Imperial Army one after another is entirely due to its commander, not this army, with this person's military command ability, any army in the city can radiate its most powerful combat effectiveness, so this talent is the biggest threat to the Imperial Army, as long as this person is eliminated, then this Tiger Brigade is not a matter of concern." Moritake Tanabe said confidently.

"Tanabe-kun, what do you mean? Using Imperial agents for a decapitation assassination operation? Yanagawa Heisuke seemed to have an understanding.

"Yes, some time ago, the 18th Division reported that an agent named Sakurako who was part of the Manchurian Special High School was captured by the Tiger Brigade of China, but the people of China did not kill her."

Halfway through Tanabe's words, Yanagawa Heisuke interrupted, "Why didn't the Shina people kill her?" Could it be that Sakurako has betrayed His Majesty the Emperor and betrayed the Daishomoto Empire? ”

"This is impossible, Sakurako, as a high-ranking agent of the Empire, will never betray His Majesty the Emperor, and will never rebel." Tanabe Moritake said thoughtfully: "I think that it is very likely that the people of Shina have taken a fancy to Sakurako's beauty...... So, I think Sakurako still has value in using it......"

"Yo Sai ......" Yanagawa Heisuke smiled knowingly, and nodded happily: "If that's the case, then Sakurako has a good chance of succeeding." "Yanagawa Heisuke knows that the female agents of the Imperial Special High School are professionally trained in all aspects, and they are especially good at using their bodies to obtain information to achieve their goals, in short, they will do whatever it takes, not to mention their own bodies.

"So I'll arrange for the Special High Division to send someone to get in touch with Sakurako as soon as possible, and then approach Qiao Anbang, the commander of the Tiger Brigade, and finally get rid of him!" Moribuchi Tanabe

In the afternoon, on the Guangxuan Highway, the convoy of the Tiger Brigade was rushing westward, and when evacuating from Huzhou, Qiao Anbang learned through Yali that the 6th Division and the 114th Division of the Yue Army came from Wuxi to reinforce this information, in order to avoid encountering with the Yue Army, Qiao Anbang did not go north directly from Huzhou, but took a detour to Guangde and Xuancheng, although there are devils in these two places, but the self-protection is insufficient, it is impossible to intercept the Tiger Ben Brigade.

In fact, when Qiao Anbang knew that the nearest devil reinforcement to Huzhou was the 6th Division, as a traverser, he really wanted to beat Gu Shoufu this dog, and he had to let him take off his skin if he didn't want to annihilate the 6th Division, after all, the 6th Division was on a forced march in order to reinforce the 18th Division in Huzhou, and the distance between its cavalry troops and the main infantry force had already been widened. There is also the 114th Division behind the 6th Division, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Brigade is, Qiao Anbang does not have the confidence to regret it with the two master regiments of the Yue Army, and once the Tiger Ben Brigade is dragged down, after all the main forces of the Yue Army arrive, it will be impossible to escape.

Therefore, Qiao Anbang could only give up the idea of doing a shuttle in the Sixth Division and decisively led his troops to retreat westward.

The battle has reached this point, Qiao Anbang's original strategic objectives have basically been achieved, and he unexpectedly killed the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army and the Third Naval Fleet.

First of all, the officers and men of the brigade have gone through several bloody battles and the baptism of major battles, and have completed the transformation from a group of peasant soldiers and a local armed force into an elite anti-Japanese force.

In addition, the Huben Brigade is well-equipped, has no worries about logistics and supply, and its combat effectiveness is absolutely leveraged, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is China's first brigade.

At present, Qiao Anbang's top priority is to lead his troops back to the base area in northern Anhui as soon as possible, and the troops will continue to fight and recuperate, and in order to cope with the future war of resistance against Japan, Qiao Anbang must use these 5,000 veterans as the basis to expand the troops as soon as possible, and there are still a lot of things to do in the base area.

In order to save Nanjing, Qiao Anbang led the army to the front line when he was less than half of the base area built, and now that the crisis in Nanjing has been solved, the army in Central China has been disturbed by himself in this way, and it is difficult to do anything for a whole month or two.

After the devil re-conquers Jiangnan and other places, it will take a month, and when the devil hits northern Anhui, maybe it will be half a year later, and these times are enough for Qiao Anbang to develop secretly.

After all, now that the veterans of the Tiger Brigade are there, and their fame has been played, as long as Qiao Anbang needs it, he only needs to raise his arms and shout, and the hot-blooded young people from all over the country, all kinds of technicians, and talents, are they not flocking here?

With this condition, Qiao Anbang has absolute confidence that he will raise a strong enough army in a few months or even half a year, at least to ensure that northern Anhui is not lost, as long as northern Anhui is stable and has time, Qiao Anbang's army can expand and develop geometrically, and at that time, perhaps the war of resistance will not have to be fought for eight years.

As Qiao Anbang expected, when the Tiger Brigade army passed through the territory of Guangde, the Yue army guarding Guangde did not dare to come out to intercept it, because their strength was less than 1,000 people, so what could they do to intercept the fully mechanized Tiger Brigade?

In order to cross the river and go north as soon as possible, Qiao Anbang ordered the Tiger Brigade to move forward all the way, and all the personnel ate and drank on the truck, even if they had to hold their stool.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the Huben Brigade finally arrived at the Cihu Ferry in Ma'anshan, when Qiao Anguo was ordered to lead a battalion to open up, he had left an infantry platoon in Cihu according to Qiao Anbang's instructions, and their task was to guard the transport ship.

As the commander of the Huben Brigade, Qiao Anbang was of course the first to cross the river, and the matter after the break was left to the armored company, in fact, there was no need to break off the rear at all, and now the main force of the army is hundreds of miles away.

Just as Qiao Anbang and Qiao Anguo and others had just boarded the transport ship, Yali walked over with a telegram in her hand, and saluted Qiao Anbang with her chest on the ground: "Brigade, Nanjing called, Chief Bai Chongxi called and said that the citizens of Nanjing have basically been evacuated, and now they are making every effort to evacuate and evacuate all troops. ”

"Okay, great." Qiao Anbang was overjoyed when he heard this, from now on, the eternal shame of the Chinese nation, the Nanjing Massacre, which made the hearts of future generations of Chinese sons and daughters feel painful and angry, can no longer happen, and this historical tragedy has been reversed by Qiao Anbang after all.

However, whether there will be a Tokyo Massacre in the future, Qiao Anbang really can't guarantee that if he can capture the local area, Qiao Anbang doesn't mind giving Xiao Yue a Tokyo Massacre.

In fact, Qiao Anbang did not expect that not long after, when the Imperial Navy annihilated the combined fleet of the Yueben Navy, after landing on the mainland of Yueben, due to the resistance of the Jade Crushing himself, the Tokyo Massacre that Qiao Anbang expected turned into the ...... of the Yamakah.
