Annihilating the last elite of the Kunisaki detachment, the soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force cleaned up the battlefield and gathered in the open space of the battlefield outside the east gate.

"Brethren, I am proud of you, you are the best soldiers I have ever seen! The strongest soldier! What happened to the 5th Division? What happened to the elite of the Japanese army? It's not like we've been down yet! "The victory in this battle has completely reversed the situation in the entire battlefield west of Taihu Lake, and it will also greatly affect the frontal battlefield shape of the defense of Nanjing, Qiao Youhua was in a good mood, standing on a captured military truck and raising his arms and shouting.

"I didn't say it, that's the captain, your command is good, and it's easier to follow the captain to fight little devils than to drink and eat food and sleep with Japanese girls, and it's more refreshing! Ha ha! A big-headed soldier said from the bottom of his heart.

"From now on, the brothers will follow the captain, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, just by the captain's words!"

"Very well, I also solemnly declare that from today onwards, you will be officially a member of my Dragon's Tooth Task Force!" Qiao Youhua laughed heartily.

"Long live the captain! Long live the captain! I don't know who got up the head, but more than a thousand dragon tooth warriors cheered in unison, and in the end, the warriors, who were completely enveloped in the joy of victory, fired fiercely into the sky.

Dense gunfire rang out in the sky, announcing the destruction of the Kunisaki detachment!

…………

Wuhan, the leader of the line.

Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, looked a little overexcited, and hurriedly came to Chairman Jiang's office, and saluted: "Bench, great victory, great victory!" ”

"Oh? Another big victory? Towards Nanjing? Chairman Chiang thought that it was the propaganda of public opinion that had inspired the morale of the Nanjing garrison, and the officers and men fought bravely and won a great victory.

"It's not Nanjing, it's Wuhu!" Wang Shihe said excitedly: "I just received an urgent message from the Dragon Tooth Task Force, under the leadership of Qiao Youhua, the Dragon Tooth Task Force sneak attacked Wuhu a few days ago, and succeeded in one fell swoop, not only recovering Wuhu City, but also destroying the detachment headquarters including the head of the Japanese Kunisaki Detachment, Kunizaki Deng, and then made a surprise attack.

First annihilated the 3rd Mountain Artillery Wing of the Kunisaki Detachment, and then severely annihilated the 11th and 41st main field wings of the Japanese army that rushed to reinforce under Wuhu City.

The detour troops of the Japanese army on the northern road no longer exist by this point! ”

"What?" Chairman Jiang was taken aback at first, stood up suddenly, and then said in ecstasy: "Okay, good, good, this Qiao Youhua is really a tiger general, well done!" ”

Wang Shihe also said happily: "Commission, in this way, the situation west of Taihu Lake has been completely reversed by our army, and we can order the troops of the Third Theater who retreated to Huangshan and other mountainous areas in southern Anhui to attack again, and then stationed in Wuhu to recover Rencheng and other places, so that they can be connected with the Nanjing Garrison Theater."

We supported each other! ”

"Well, that's true! Now as long as Yangzhou is held and the detour troops of the Japanese army on the southern road are blocked, Nanjing can hold on! Chairman Jiang nodded happily.

couldn't help but say: "This Qiao Youhua, this time I want to reward him well!" Shihe, immediately telegraphed, awarded Qiao Youhua a medal of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, and a Zhongzheng sword! In addition, he was promoted to colonel and awarded 10,000 yuan to the ocean in recognition of his military exploits!

The rest of the commanders under his command were all promoted two levels in a row, and all the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Task Force were rewarded with 50,000 oceans! Also, the Ministry of Military Affairs was ordered to grant the official number of the Dragon Tooth Task Force of the Dragon Tooth Task Force, with Qiao Youhua as the colonel commander! The rest of the officers at all levels are appointed by Qiao Youhua himself, and the personnel can be reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs for the record! ”

"Yes!" Wang Shihe replied respectfully, and hurriedly took the order to leave.

…………

Shanghai, the General Headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army.

After receiving an urgent telegram from a staff officer, Lieutenant General Tsukada Tsukada, who is currently chief of the General Staff of the Central China Front, walked to the desk of the current commander, Senior General Matsui Ishone, with a gloomy face.

"General, I just received a report from the 10th Army that the Kunisaki detachment has been wiped out!" Tsukada attacked the road of mourning.

Matsui Shigen's wrinkled old face jumped in shock, and Huo Di stood up: "What did you say?" The Kunisaki detachment was completely wiped out? How is this possible, they are the ace elite from the Fifth Division! Part of the Imperial Steel Army! ”

Tsukada said miserably: "General, this is true, the Kunisaki detachment was completely wiped out in the Battle of Wuhu!" There are more than 8,000 warriors in the whole detachment, and all the members from the detachment leader Kunizaki to the next are shattered, and none of them are spared! ”

Tsukada Attack immediately recounted in detail the Battle of Wuhu, which was initially mastered by the 10th Army, because of the suddenness of the incident and many other factors, the Japanese high-level certainly could not grasp the overall battle process, but only knew a rough idea.

After listening to the narration, Matsui Shigen's old face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How can this dragon tooth task force have such combat power?" The tactical level of its commander is simply genius, and with this battle, his tactical command ability has surpassed all the senior generals of the current national government, and he can be called a peerless general!! ”

"General, what are we going to do?" Tsukada asked.

"At present, the 114th Division and the 18th Division are attacking the Hangzhou area, several other divisions are resting, and the 6th, 16th and 9th Divisions are busy attacking Nanjing.

Wait until the imperial army takes Nanjing, and the 3rd and 11th divisions are rested, and then choose the opportunity to exterminate them! "Matsui Ishone, this old devil, is obviously more old-fashioned, although the loss of a Kunisaki detachment, but it is not enough to hurt the foundation of the Japanese army in Central China, compared to the capture of Nanjing, the extermination of the Dragon Tooth Task Force to the shame of the Snow Emperor Army, it is not enough.

After all, from the perspective of the whole strategic level, capturing the capital of the Nationalist government is more strategic and even politically than destroying an ace army, and it is more strategic and even politically to deal a blow to the Chinese army's determination to resist.

Tsukada nodded happily and patted his ass: "The general is reasonable, we should focus on the overall situation at the moment!" ”

…………

Outside a forest in the north of Wuhu City, the remaining more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Task Force, under the leadership of Qiao Youhua, were holding a memorial ceremony for the soldiers who died in this battle.

In this battle, although it achieved a great victory, the Dragon's Tooth Task Force also lost more than 300 brave officers and men, including more than 50 cavalrymen.

The bodies of more than 300 fallen soldiers were covered with white cloth and lay quietly on the edge of a freshly dug earthen pit.

Qiao Youhua took off his steel helmet and said loudly with a solemn expression: "All of them, salute the sacrificed comrades!" ”

More than 1,000 officers and soldiers saluted solemnly.

Immediately, Qiao Youhua personally raised a light machine gun full of bullets, "Shoot the gun, see off the brothers!" ”

Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ...... Dense gunfire rang out in one piece, echoing in the sky for a long time.

At this time, Liu Ruhan came to Qiao Youhua with a telegram he had just received, and silently handed the message to Qiao Youhua.

"At this time, I don't read any telegrams!" Qiao Youhua was in a sad mood and did not receive the message.

Liu Ruhan was not angry and said: "This is a commendation order, I think the dead martyrs should also listen to it, they paid for the victory of this battle, they are meritorious heroes, this is the honor they deserve!" ”

Qiao Youhua glanced at Liu Ruhan strangely, took the telegram and hurriedly read it, immediately turned around, and read aloud: "At this tense moment of national crisis, the national capital is in danger, and the nation is in crisis, I suddenly heard about the great victory of Wuhu, and I was excited about it!" From now on, the Dragon's Tooth Task Force will be officially reorganized into the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, and all officers and soldiers will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan for encouragement! ”

Halfway through it, Qiao Youhua didn't want to read it anymore, the name of the task force is an honor, because it is about to become famous all over the world, and it is a great honor to be a member of the task force!

"The pensions of all the brothers who sacrificed for the country will not be less, and Qiao will try his best to send them back to your hometown relatives, and you will be immortal!" After Qiao Youhua finished saluting, he turned to Liu Ruhan and said, "Take out all the 10,000 oceans that rewarded me and divide them equally among every fallen soldier as a pension!" ”

Early the next morning, in the streets and alleys of Wuhan, Chongqing, Guangzhou, and other large and medium-sized cities that had not yet fallen, newspaper sellers shouted in immature voices, such slogans as "Wuhu's great victory" and "The dragon's tooth task force completely annihilated more than 8,000 people of the Japanese army's Kunizaki detachment."

For a time, Qiao Youhua and the Dragon's Tooth Task Force became famous and became a real anti-Japanese heroic unit, and the unprecedented victory greatly encouraged people from all walks of life across the country and inspired the whole country.

The anti-Japanese salvation parade can be seen everywhere on the street, holding high the words Qiao Youhua and Long live the dragon's teeth, and carrying out a celebration parade in a forgetful manner!
