In the first battle of Wusongjiang, more than half of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force was sacrificed, but basically there were no seriously wounded, because the seriously wounded chose to die with the Japanese devils.

After a day of carnival in Suzhou City, Qiao Youhua sent scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army in the north and south.

Qiao Youhua was sitting in front of the map of the headquarters and smoking, Liu Ruhan came with a telegram in his hand, and his face was filled with the charming smile of a new wife.

"What's the matter, so happy?" Qiao Youhua asked.

"I just received a telegram from Chairman Chiang, take a look." Liu Ruhan smiled and handed the message in his hand to Qiao Youhua.

"What's the content?" Qiao Youhua stretched out his hand to take it.

"You'll find out if you look at it." Liu Ruhan smiled like a flower.

I saw Qiao Youhua open it and look at it hurriedly, but there was not much joy, Liu Ruhan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Chairman Chiang approved our camera retreat, which means that we don't have to hold out for at least half a month! ”

"You don't understand, where can Jiang Guangtou be so kind, I feel that it must be our total annihilation of the Marine Corps, which caused some bad consequences, Jiang Guangtou learned about the situation in advance, and it was expected that we would not be able to break through, so he sent such a telegram to show his magnanimity and love for talents." Qiao Youhua sneered.

Qiao Youhua knew very well that he had killed the menacing elite marines of the Japanese army, which would definitely cause a great shock on the part of the Japanese army, and it was unknown what kind of reaction it would make, but he would definitely not let the Dragon Tooth Task Force entrench in Suzhou again.

Because the Japanese army could not afford to delay, they had to do their best to capture Nanjing and end the battle south of the Yangtze River, at least the troops sent by the devils would not be less than these three thousand marines, both in number and combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Chairman Jiang suddenly sent such a heart-warming and affectionate callback, which had to make Qiao Youhua rush to suspicion.

Qiao Youhua was puzzled, and the reconnaissance unit sent out came back.

Liu Jianhua hurriedly ran to him, stepped forward and saluted: "Tuanza, it's not good, according to the situation investigated by my scouts, there are a large number of devils along the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway and highway in the north and south of Suzhou, and they are rushing towards Suzhou City!" It seems that they are coming for us, and the nearest devils on the North Road are now in Wuxi! ”

When Qiao Youhua heard this, he thought of the telegram sent by Chairman Jiang, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, no wonder Jiang Guangtou is so kind, it turns out that I can't break through!" ”

"Tuanza, what should we do next? Will you stick to the city and fight the devil to the end, or will you take the initiative to attack and do what he bitched to do? Liu Jianhua asked.

Qiao Youhua said with a smile: "Don't do it, gather the troops, and we will evacuate immediately." ”

"Withdraw? Aren't we going to stick to Suzhou for half a month? Liu Jianhua said puzzled.

Qiao Youhua smiled and handed him the telegram: "This is Chairman Jiang's order!" Go, we have to be a good army that obeys the orders of the leader! ”

"This, this?!" Liu Jianhua didn't expect it, and was a little overwhelmed.

"Alright, let's gather our troops." Qiao Youhua waved his hand.

"But, Tuanza, there are little devils in the north and south, and the Yangtze River in the east, where do we retreat?" Liu Jianhua said.

"The mountain people have their own tricks, go ahead." Qiao Youhua said in his chest.

"Yes!" Liu Jianhua suddenly agreed, ran and left.

…………

The troops were quickly assembled, and Qiao Youhua ordered to bring sufficient ammunition and weapons, and pull all the captured excess weapons and ammunition outside the city to destroy them on the spot.

Immediately, he brought more than 500 officers and soldiers to the west of Suzhou, where several sailing boats had been waiting for a long time.

These boats were originally the fishing boats of the local fishermen in Suzhou, after the Japanese army came, the fishermen fled and ran away, and their lives were unsustainable.

Now that the purpose of mobilizing the Japanese army has been achieved, of course Suzhou can no longer be defended, and Chairman Chiang's telegram gave Qiao Youhua a reasonable excuse to retreat.

Qiao Youhua could take the Kunizaki detachment and the Japanese marines by surprise, but in the face of the menacing four Japanese divisions and nearly 100,000 troops, more than half of them had been lost, and the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, which had lost the effect of surprise soldiers, was certainly not an opponent.

So if you don't retreat now, when will you wait?

"Tuanza, how come there is a boat here? Do you mean that we evacuate by water? Liu Jianhua, Liu Yidao and others all said with surprise on their faces.

"Yes, the land cannot be passed, and the water area of more than 2,000 square kilometers of Taihu Lake will be at our disposal! The little devil does not have the high-tech of satellite radar positioning, and now in bad weather, the devil's plane cannot take off, as long as we enter this Taihu Lake, we are like a dragon into the sea, come and go freely! Qiao Youhua said.

"Tuanza, what is a radar satellite?" Liu Yidao asked curiously.

"That's a kind of high-tech, not yet, but in the future, our country will have it." Qiao Youhua said vaguely.

"Then dare to ask Tuanza, where should we go next?" Liu Jianhua asked.

"Of course I went to Nanjing, as a soldier, it is my duty to defend the national capital, and if the people of Nanjing are not withdrawn for a day, we will stick to it for a day!" Qiao Youhua said.

In fact, there is another most important purpose for going to Nanjing, which Qiao Youhua did not say explicitly, that is, to hijack Tang Shengzhi's Nanjing Garrison Headquarters.

Now Qiao Youhua has gone deep into the lonely army before, and after the bloody battle, he has achieved the original goal, hurt the little devil, mobilized the main force of the Japanese army, and responded to the defense of Nanjing very powerfully, it can be said that as long as all the people of Nanjing are evacuated, his purpose of going south this time will be completed.

However, the only thing Qiao Youhua is still worried about now is that Tang Shengzhi, an old boy, will take the initiative to escape when the battle situation is at its most critical, which will have an immeasurable impact on the more than 100,000 Nanjing defenders who have made up their minds to defend Nanjing and swear to live and die with Nanjing.

It may even directly lead to the collapse of Nanjing's outer defense line, and the inevitable loss of Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi, an old thing in history, did this, changed the order every day, and took the lead in escaping.

Eventually, the Nanjing Massacre broke out.

Therefore, Qiao Youhua decided to withdraw to Nanjing, surround Tang Shengzhi's garrison headquarters by force at a critical moment, and take over his command of the Nanjing defenders!

As for the consequences of this, Qiao Youhua is not worried at all, as long as he can save hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Nanjing City and change the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre, it is worth paying no matter what the price.

And after the battle to defend Nanjing, Qiao Youhua will lead his troops to the north to join the Eighth Route Army, and when the time comes, it will be a dragon into the sea, let him swim, even if Chairman Jiang wants to treat him to prevent him from committing crimes, he must be able to catch him.

Not everyone can survive in the Japanese war zone.
