Chapter 100: Japanese Response
Seeing Qiao Anbang and other senior officials leave one after another, Bess and several colleagues hurriedly used their cameras to take a few photos of the broken corpse of Hatohiko of Asakamiya.
Immediately, several wolf-like Chinese soldiers stepped forward and began to clean up the broken corpses, and the people gathered around also dispersed when they saw this, but the people had already regarded Qiao Anbang as a national hero in their hearts.
Just as the bass group was about to turn around and leave to return to the newspaper office, Wang Gensheng trotted all the way in a captain's military uniform and rushed over.
Wang Gensheng waved his hand and shouted to Bess and the others: "Mr. Bes, wait a minute." ”
Beth and the others stopped when they heard this, and asked with fear on their faces, "Sir, what else is going on?" ”
Wang Gensheng couldn't understand English at all, so he had no choice but to solemnly say: "A few of you come with me, we have something to do with you." ”
Bess also couldn't understand Chinese, but he could understand Wang Gensheng's gestures, glanced at several other companions, nodded silently, and then followed Wang Gensheng and strode towards the Tianxiang Inn.
In the hall on the first floor of the inn, the communication company of the Tiger Bentuan Regiment set up the company's radio station here, and there were communication personnel shuttling back and forth in the hall from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed very tight.
Wang Gensheng led Bess and the others into the hall, and walked straight through the hall towards the backyard of the inn.
Out of the hall, Bess and the others found that there were four Chinese soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition standing at the entrance of the backyard with indifferent expressions, and several gringos were very worried at the moment, afraid that Qiao Anbang would rebel and make any unfavorable moves to them.
Soon, the group was led by Wang Gensheng to a main room in the backyard, the door was open, and Qiao Anbang was holding a meeting under a cadre inside.
When he came to the door, Wang Gensheng stood up and shouted loudly: "Report to the group, people are here." ”
Qiao Anbang, who was arranging combat missions for the military commanders of various battalions and companies, turned his head to look at Beth and the others outside the door when he heard the sound, and immediately said to everyone present: "Okay, you all go and prepare, you must hurry up and build fortifications as I said, and prepare to deal with the next fierce battle."
"Yes!" Everyone responded with a bang, and immediately got up and left.
After seeing his subordinates leave, Qiao Anbang strode out, smiling and saying to Bess and the others: "Mr. Bes, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”
"Oh, no, no." Beth hurriedly waved his hand and smiled very knowingly: "I don't know, what is the matter with the chief coming to us again?" ”
"There's nothing to do, just to remind Mr. Beth not to forget the agreement between us." Qiao Anbang said indifferently.
"Rest assured, sir, we will publish what happened in the newspaper as soon as possible." Beth secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied.
"No, not only do you have to publish the newspaper in Suzhou, but you also have to find a way to wash out the photos and send them to Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places as soon as possible. Qiao Anbang smiled and said, "In addition, after the photos are washed out, you will also give me a batch." ”|
"Okay, no problem, I'll handle this as soon as possible, and of course the photos are no problem." Bess nodded in agreement.
"Gensheng, you wait and send a few people to escort them back to the society, and then bring the photos back." Qiao Anbang turned his head to Wang Gensheng and ordered.
"Yes!" Wang Gensheng immediately stepped forward to respond, and then turned to Bess and the others and said, "Please ......"
………………………
The clear-code messages sent by the Tiger Ben Regiment were soon received by all the radio stations in the vicinity of Suzhou and even in Central China.
Shanghai, known as the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army.
Major General Tsukada Tsukashi, the current chief of staff of the Central China Dispatch Army, rushed into the office of Commander Matsui Ishine with a piece of paper in his hand.
Matsui Ishone, who was immersed in reviewing the documents, looked up when he heard the sound, only to see Tsukada's face heavy, and he took the lead in asking: "Tsukada-kun, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”
"General, I just received a clear code message from the people of Suzhou, saying that they have captured the city of Suzhou, and have captured and killed His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace!" Tsukada lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"What?" Matsui Shigen was shocked when he heard this, Huo Ran stood up from his chair, and asked in a shocked voice, "Tsukada-kun, are you sure this is true?" ”
"Probably true." Tsukada nodded gloomily and replied.
"It's over, it's over." Matsui sat down on the chair with a ploppy look and muttered to himself with a bleak expression.
Immediately, he roared again: "Why didn't Prince Asaka retreat?" Why? Why didn't he evacuate on his own initiative? ”
Tsukada was speechless and bowed his head in shame.
After roaring for a long time, Matsui Ishine gradually calmed down his excitement, Matsui Ishine knew that the matter had come to this point, even if he shouted his throat, it would not help.
The only thing to do is to dispatch troops as soon as possible to exterminate the tiger group in Suzhou, and avenge Prince Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace, only in this way can he give an account to the emperor and his own country.
As long as the tiger group is exterminated, Matsui Ishine can declare to the country that Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya was unfortunately killed while leading his troops to fight with the squadron, instead of being captured and killed as he is now.
Thinking of this, Matsui Shigen got up again and attacked Tsukada: "Tsukada-kun, immediately send a telegram to Yanagawa Heisuke, and ask him to immediately transfer the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment to move closer to Wuxi and Suzhou along the east bank of Taihu Lake, and then request the Third Fleet to send the 1st to 5th Marine Brigades together with the 3rd and 5th Readings to march to Suzhou, and we must completely wipe out this evil Chinese Tiger!" ”
"General, this Tiger Regiment can capture Suzhou in such a short period of time, its combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to a regiment-level force, a few days ago, the 10th Army mobilized the Kunizaki Detachment, the 18th Division and a garrison brigade were unable to annihilate it, so I humbly think that it is not possible to transfer our main divisions back from the Nanjing front line and encircle and annihilate this Huben Regiment in Suzhou City in one fell swoop." Tsukada bowed his head and suggested.
As long as the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment can rush to Wuxi in time and block the retreat of the Chinese army to the north, we can rely on absolute air superiority to trap the Chinese army in Suzhou City, and when they run out of ammunition and food, we will definitely be able to annihilate it." Matsui immediately vetoed.
"General, look at this." Tsukada saw that Matsui Ishine could not persuade him, so he handed him the telegram, and in the face of Matsui Ishine's puzzled gaze, Tsukada explained: "At the end of the message, the Shina army said that they would wait for the imperial army to die at any time in Suzhou City. ”
"Yaga Tooth Road! Arrogant and stupid China pig, this is provoking the military might of the imperial army! It must be wiped out! Hearing this, Matsui Shigen was immediately furious, and roared angrily: "Send a telegram to the 16th Division, and let Nakajima Imasago quickly dispatch two infantry wings back to Suzhou, and this time we must destroy this damn tiger bunch in one piece!" ”
"Hay!" Tsukada suddenly bowed his head in response, and immediately turned around and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.
