Chapter 274: The Twentieth Cavalry Regiment (I)

The battle against the 16th Corps of the Island Army was named "Canglong Plan".

In addition to using four main divisions, in order to cooperate with the successful implementation of the plan, a total of seven auxiliary divisions will be used.

Zheng Yongzhi is sure to win.

Since Shanghai withdraws its troops, the Kuomintang has not won a good victory. Although there is a so-called "Changshu Victory", only the parties involved know how much it cost to achieve this victory.

The legendary general Zheng Yong is undefeated, and the 111th Division is undefeated. This is the most beautiful myth that the Chinese people have spread to each other.

Although the 111th Division won many battles in the Battle of Shanghai, it was eventually forced to evacuate Shanghai. This was the greatest shame to their division in the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the division.

Now the opportunity for revenge appears before us.

The 16th Division was advancing towards Suzhou, and a big pocket was already open and waiting for its self-invested net...

There were busy everywhere, with the Army Field Hospital in front of him, busy loading medical devices.

A familiar figure appeared in Zheng Yong's eyes.

Huang Yuxin? Zheng Yong frowned slightly.

I walked over slowly, it was indeed her.

However, at this time Huang Yuxin was no longer the young girl she was in Northeast China and a passionate student.

Huang Yuxin, who was standing in front of her, was mature and beautiful. When she saw Zheng Yong, she no longer had the shyness of the past, but smiled openly at Zheng Yong.

"Hello commander-in-chief."

"Well, you... hello." Zheng Yong nodded unnaturally: "Is this? Are you going to the front with you?"

Huang Yuxin smiled indifferently: "Yes, let's go to the front with the Army Field Hospital."

These are the people who escaped from Fengtian's death. Zheng Yong took great care of these people on weekdays, but Huang Yuxin seemed to be avoiding him.

After chatting casually for a few words, Zheng Yong sighed and said.

"You are twenty-six years old this year, not too young, or I'll find someone for you..."

"No need, thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Huang Yuxin smiled indifferently: "The Commander-in-Chief is busy with military affairs, so these small things are not to worry about. I think I think I will naturally get married when it comes to my time..."

As she said that, she waved her hand, turned around and left with a smile.

Zheng Yong knew why she refused to get married now because she had been concerned about someone in her, but this person already had two wives and could not give her anything anymore...

The 16th Division of the Island Army.

Nakajima Imago was not in a particularly happy mood.

Changshu was obtained through heavy casualties, but it was just an empty city. As the elite 16th Division, a corps was wiped out. This was the most shameful thing in the history of the division. It was an extremely heavy blow to the officers and soldiers of the entire division.

Now, he has to reexamine his opponent.

It was by no means the incompetent army he imagined.

The Chinese soldiers were brave, good at fighting, and fearless of death. For their country, they seemed to have a strong fanaticism that was no less than the soldiers of the island country.

How could such an army make them bow their heads completely?

The headquarters came with an order, and the order quickly advanced from Changshu to Suzhou.

Nakajima Atsugo did not agree with such an order. First, his 16th Division is in urgent need of supplementary and repair, and the Chinese army is still resisting tenaciously in Fukuyama.

He once suggested to the base camp that after a brief renovation in Changshu, the 16th Division quickly entered the attack on Fushan. After seizing Fushan, it moved forward steadily. However, this suggestion that he seemed good was ruthlessly rejected by the base camp.

"Teacher Commander, I think the orders of those people will not change. We can only advance to Suzhou."

The person who said this was Chief of Staff Colonel Nakazawa Miho.

Just like his own division commander, he also opposed moving directly towards Suzhou.

With his command knife in his hand, Nakajima Atsugo was motionless like an iron plate.

"I tried my best, but they never agreed, so I will order my subordinates to move forward."

He suddenly stood up.

"Order the 20th Cavalry Regiment to start first. Don't make progress too fast, you must be careful!"

"yes!"

Two days after obtaining Changshu, the 20th Cavalry Regiment of the 16th Division of the Island Army began to march towards Suzhou.

As their corps leader, Toshimatsu Kasai was not as careful as their division commander.

Indeed, the 16th Division under Changshu City suffered setbacks, but this did not include its own team. The tasks assigned by the headquarters were completed by the Twenty Cavalry Regiment, and only the Twenty Cavalry Regiment were completed without fail.

The Chinese cannot fight and are not brave. The key is who is commanding the army.

Suddenly, a not-so-hard gunshot sounded in front of him, and Toshima Kasai frowned slightly.

"Old Captain, we have encountered a slight resistance from the Chinese army." The captain of the 29th Infantry Squadron, Takeda Kyōta came up casually to report.

"Thirty minutes, defeat them and don't delay our progress." Toshima Kasai raised his wrist and looked at the table below.

"Yes, thirty minutes, defeat the enemy!"

The mortars quickly began to roar, constantly rushing to the positions of the attackers opposite.

Those who launched attacks on the island army were obviously not regular soldiers. Their weapons were simple and they all had everything. The ones they used were a local cannon and a large number of local bombs.

Under the superior firepower of the island army, they resisted very tenaciously.

Especially the mines buried in advance have caused great trouble to the island army.

For a moment, the sound of landmines explosions, the sound of earth cannons, and the rumbling of earth-made bombs were intertwined.

An island army stepped on a landmine and was thrown high, then fell heavily to the ground. One of his left leg was blown away and fell to the side. He struggled and wailed for a while on the ground, and soon stopped moving like a dead pig...

This obviously angered the island army.

The machine gun roared wildly, and cooperated with the mortar to continuously suppress the opposite position.

At this moment, on the southwest side of the battlefield, Lu Yuzhang put down his telescope and asked with a frown.

"What's going on? Where did the troops come from?"

"I don't know, maybe, it may be the private armed forces organized by the locals."

"Nonsense, isn't this a delay in annihilation of the 16th Division?" Lu Yuzhang's face became a little gloomy.

"Send someone to contact them immediately and exit the battlefield. You must not confront Japanese pirates again!"

"yes!"

After a short while, a man wearing a jacket was taken to Lu Yuzhang and saw the fully armed officers and soldiers, it became obvious.

"We are from the First Guerrilla Brigade of the Anti-Enemy in Jiangnan, and we are the deputy captain of Chen Xing!"

"The First Battalion of the Anti-Enemy Guerrillas in Jiangnan? Do we have this number?"

After receiving the negative answer from the adjutant, Chen Xing explained that he was a civilian armed force organized by spontaneously and did not get the official name of the government. Chen Xing said with a frown.

"How come guerrilla guerrillas have become head-on fight with Japanese pirates? Japanese pirates are well-organized and cannot be stopped by you. Take your people back immediately and I will transfer a company to cover you!"

Chen Xing showed joy on his face, and Lu Yuzhang quickly drew out a company of guns and pressed them over with Chen Xing.

It was the time to arrive. At this time, the island army had launched a final attack on the position with the cooperation of mortars and light and heavy machine guns.

The sound of the submachine gun suddenly rang out, and accompanied by the cheerful cries of the Czech zb light machine gun, the island army's rapid charge was suddenly stopped.

This is the first battle after the 111th Division's training. Although it is not even a real battle in a sense, it is just a small-scale cover retreat.

The soldiers of the national army were aiming and shooting accurately, and the so-called guerrilla first brigade quickly began to leave the battlefield.

The gunner who was carrying the earth cannon seemed to want to bring his own earth cannon, and the Kuomintang company shouted loudly.

"No, no, no, don't want all this garbage!"

After more than ten minutes of fierce battle, all the guerrilla 1st brigade evacuated. The National Army Company also began to retreat voluntarily. When retreating, they used squads and platoons as units to protect the retreat interactively.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the 20th Cavalry Regiment of the Island Country Army, which had been delayed for nearly an hour, occupied all positions.

Kicking a corpse on the ground and taking a dirt gun handed over by his subordinates, Toshitsushi Kasai smiled contemptuously.

"Your Excellency the United Captain, it is my incompetence that I can only seize the position now. Moreover, we have lost three imperial soldiers and injured eleven people..."

Takeda Genyo said with his head down.

"Please don't blame yourself, Takeda Jun." Toshimatsu Kasai seemed to have no intention of blaming his subordinates.

"Didn't you find that the regular Chinese troops are also fighting with us, trying to stop our progress? This is not your fault."

He spoke with a straight look.
