"Hatano-kun, you immediately evacuate to Wuxi, and inform the headquarters of the front army of the news of the raid on Suzhou by the Chinese army, and go quickly!" In the north of Suzhou, in the courtyard of an abandoned house, a Japanese lieutenant said to a subordinate.

"Sir, let's evacuate together!" A devil soldier named Hatano.

"No, Suzhou is an important logistics supply transit point for the front-line troops of the imperial army, once this place is captured by the Chinese people, the logistics supply line of tens of thousands of imperial troops will also be cut off, and I will stay and fight to the end." Lieutenant Devil understands that the loss of Suzhou is already inevitable.

As the commander of this garrison, even if he escapes back, he will not escape death, but fortunately he stays, and he can still win the name of an imperial martyr.

"Yaga, carry out the order!" Lieutenant Devil shouted angrily.

Hatano did not dare to disobey, and fled to the north of the city with his rifle.

……

"Tuanzuo, there are still a hundred and ten little devils hiding in the residential area north of the city, our people have captured most of Suzhou, and the guard platoon has also taken the railway station! What's next? Liu Jianhua came to Qiao Youhua to ask for instructions.

"Immediately organize troops to wipe out the remnants of the enemy, at any cost!" Qiao Youhua said.

"Yes." Liu Jianhua answered, turned around and waved his hand: "The reconnaissance company follow me!" ”

Dozens of scouts followed him and rushed north of the city.

Ma Biao, the commander of the second battalion, also took the main force of the headquarters at this moment and quickly approached the area where the Japanese army was entrenched in the north of the city.

"Tuanza, Director Liu is here." A soldier suddenly pointed to the street south of the city and exclaimed.

Qiao Youhua turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Liu Ruhan riding a war horse and rushing towards this side under the escort of several soldiers, who were the guards he had left for him.

"Why are you here? What's going on? When she came to her, Qiao Youhua asked.

Liu Ruhan turned over and dismounted, handed a telegram to Qiao Youhua and said: "Chairman Jiang sent an urgent telegram from Wuhan, ordering us to withdraw from Wuxing County, return to Wuhu, and let you go to Wuhan to enter the Central Army Military Academy!" ”

Qiao Youhua was slightly stunned, took the telegram and hurriedly read it, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you so much for Jiang Guangtou's kindness, Adjutant Liu, call me back." ”

Liu Ruhan glanced at him, and he dared to call him the leader of the national government, but he still took out a pen and notepad.

"Call back, the committee is kind and humble, but now Shanghai has been lost, Nanjing is in danger, Youhua, as a soldier, should fight for the country and the nation at the forefront.

At the time of the telegram, the officers and men of the subordinate department had already led the officers and soldiers of the department to recover Fuzhou and cut off the logistics supply line of the Japanese army.

There is another matter, please think twice, the Japanese invaders are brutal and unkind, bloodthirsty and easy to kill, Nanjing is the capital of our country, the Japanese invaders have paid a heavy price since the Battle of Songhu, and their anger and grievances are backlogged, lest after the loss of Nanjing, kill my ordinary people to vent their anger.

Therefore, the Commissariat immediately ordered the Third Theater Commander's Department to organize the evacuation of the civilians of Nanjing to avoid a tragedy, and this was not in vain for the bloody sacrifice of the officers and men of our Dragon's Tooth Task Force! Captain Qiao Youhua, Colonel of the Dragon Tooth Task Force! ”

Liu Ruhan's heart trembled when she heard this, and there was even more admiration in her eyes when she looked at Qiao Youhua.

Qiao Youhua waited for her to finish writing, and continued: "Another telegram will be sent in the name of Chairman Jiang, on the occasion of the national crisis and the autumn of national survival, I am ordered that the officers and men of all units of the Nanjing Garrison Theater should hold the spirit of sacrificing a qiē, stick to their respective positions, and swear to live and die together with the national capital Nanjing!" Fight to the last soldier and not retreat!

Nanjing is very important to the country and the nation, and I hope that the officers and men of our three armies will fight to the death and stick to the end in order to serve the country!

Violators will be severely dealt with by the law of joint sitting, and will not be tolerated! Anyone who retreats without authorization, and the officers who supervise the battle in each department can be shot on the spot!

At the same time, coupled with the news of our department's victory in Suzhou, Qiao Youhua should also lead his troops to hold Suzhou until the last soldier, and call them accordingly! ”

"This ......" Liu Ruhan understood what this telegram meant once it was issued, this was a clear correction, and it was definitely a capital offense to pretend to be a leader to issue such a telegram! No matter how much you make a lot of achievements, it won't help!

"Adjutant Liu, carry out the order!" Qiao Youhua didn't want to explain too much, he was not far away this time, and he was not afraid of life and death and went to all parts of Jiangnan, for this moment, how could he change lightly?

As long as these two telegrams are issued, although Chairman Chiang will hate him to the core, he will absolutely have no choice but to take advantage of the situation and organize the retreat of the citizens of Nanjing, and the more than 100,000 garrison troops outside Nanjing will absolutely not waver in the slightest, and they will only fight to the death.

Because before this, in order to boost the morale of the army, Chairman Chiang had launched a public opinion offensive to promote Qiao Youhua and his Dragon Tooth Task Force as the greatest anti-Japanese heroes and troops.

It can be said that the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, which has made repeated achievements in the deep army, has become a spiritual pillar in the hearts of the military and civilians from all walks of life across the country, and it is supported by the firm belief that the War of Resistance will be won!

If Chairman Jiang wants to blatantly punish Qiao Youhua, he must also consider the impact and consequences.

In addition, Tang Shengzhi, the current commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Defense Campaign, also happened to issue the Weizi No. 36 combat order not long ago in order to inspire the morale of the army, and this order summed up in one sentence, all troops in the Nanjing Garrison Theater will stick to the battlefield and fight to the death!

Swear to live and die with the capital Nanjing!

At this time, Qiao Youhua sent him another handwritten telegram order from Chairman Jiang, and Tang Shengzhi, an old devil, would no longer dare to order a retreat.

After all, Qiao Youhua led his troops to go deep alone, and he was still holding on to Suzhou, how could his hundreds of thousands of troops in the Nanjing Theater dare to take the lead in retreating?

If you really want to be like that, you will definitely become the second Han Fuqu, and not killing it is not enough to be angry!

Liu Ruhan sensed Qiao Youhua's determination, and happily stepped forward and said, "Yes!" ”

Turning around and turning on the radio, he quickly sent two messages one after the other.

…………

Wuhan, the leader of the line.

After receiving Qiao Youhua's reply, Chairman Jiang said with regret: "This Qiao Youhua is really too willful, with his talent, he shouldn't have fallen in the land of Suzhou like this!" If he can come back, he will be able to take on a heavy responsibility in the future! Alas! ”

Wang Shihe couldn't help but sigh on the side, it's a pity, such a loyal and brave peerless general could have become a pillar of the country, but he had to defend Suzhou.

Just when Chairman Jiang sighed, a communication attendant from the attendant's room ran in in with a panicked look and saluted: "Commission, no, we just received a clear message!" ”
