Chapter 141: Hu Lian comes to support

In the middle of the night, the sound of fighting outside Taicang City still resounded throughout the night sky.

Zhang Xinghan had several wounds on his body. The blood had dyed his naked upper body red along the wound. The big sword in his hand was also covered with the blood of the Japanese. He could no longer remember how many Japanese he had killed. At this moment, Zhang Xinghan was powerless to roar, but he mechanically waved the big sword in his hand to fight with the Japanese in front of him.

There were less than forty or fifty death squadrons standing around Zhang Xinghan. All the soldiers were stained with blood. From their actions, they could see that they were almost exhausted, but each of them was gritting their teeth and persevering, holding on to the belief that they still had a breath and fighting was persevering.

………………………………………

"There is a situation ahead of the regiment seat." Hu Lian was leading the troops towards Taicang, and a vanguard rushed over to report.

"There is Taicang in front of it. Maybe our people are fighting with the Japanese. It seems that Taicang City is still in our hands." Hu Lian took a flower mechanism from the guard next to him and pulled the bolt and ordered: "Send the order, and the whole regiment will advance in a battle formation. When encountering the Japanese, there is no need to ask for instructions. Just open fire and attack Taicang City and join friendly forces."

"Yes" the vanguard stood attentively and immediately passed the order.

He led the troops forward for about several miles, and suddenly there were rapid gunfire sounds in front of him. A soldier quickly reported: "Room, my vanguard platoon encountered the Japanese's guard troops. Now he has fired with the Japanese and it seems that our people in front are trapped in the Japanese siege and are fighting with the Japanese. "

"Order all battalions to attack with all their might and rescue friendly troops." Hu Lian immediately ordered when he thought that the ones who were surrounded might be Zhang Xinghan and his Zhongrui regiment.

After receiving the order, more than a thousand officers and soldiers suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese. One of the main forces of the Japanese stayed at the frontline positions to block the central group in the city, and the rest were all used to siege the suicide squad led by Zhang Xinghan. When Hu Lian and more than a thousand new forces suddenly emerged.

Zhang Xinghan also hurriedly led dozens of remaining soldiers to rush towards the gunfire, and was suddenly attacked, and the Japanese were in chaos.

At the same time, Zhou Wei and Luo Tianyou in Taicang City also led their troops to launch an initiative to attack the Japanese.

The soul battle lasted for more than an hour. Under the attacks between the 66th Regiment and the Central Rui regiment, the Japanese suffered heavy losses. The enemy was unknown in the darkness. In the end, they had to give up the captured positions outside the city and retreated twenty miles in a hurry.

……………………………………

Twenty miles away from Taicang, the 16th Japanese Division, which had retreated in a hurry, stopped its retreat, and the newly built field division headquarters.

The division commander Nakajima Imago's face turned pale. Looking at the two subordinates in front of him, the corners of his mouth began to twitch violently: "Bagaya Road, what's going on? Why did a group of na corps suddenly appear? What are our scouts doing?"

"Reported to the general's sudden appearance of the Chinese army, it was definitely not the Zhongrui regiment in Taicang City, but the reinforcements of the Chinese people should have arrived." Sasaki replied tremblingly. The retreat order a few hours ago was issued by him.

"Why did our scouts not discover it in advance? Why did we order a retreat without authorization?" Nakajima Imago asked, almost roaring.

"General Huine said that the Chinese army suddenly appeared. When our guards discovered it, they had already launched an attack. At the same time, the Chinese army in the city also launched an attack on the imperial army. Our troops were attacked from both sides. Because the enemy was unknown at night, in order to prevent major losses, Huine Huine ordered the retreat." Sasaki Hiro quickly answered with a respectful expression.

"Bagaya Road, in this way, all our efforts in the past two days have been wasted. We will seize Taicang on time and cut off the retreat path of the main force in the Songhu battlefield in China. You must be fully responsible for this matter." Nakajima Imago pointed at Sasaki Tochi and roared angrily.

"Haibei is willing to accept any punishment." Although he knew that the division commander wanted to shirk responsibility, Sasaki did not dare to disobey at all. Otherwise, the division commander might have shot himself in anger.

At this moment, a communications officer strode in and reported to Akasago Nakajima: "Report to the general, the Central China Sendering Force Command called"

"Ignore" Nakajima said with an ugly face.

"At present, the main force of the Chinese army in the Songhu battlefield has retreated to Wuxi along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway Highway, Changshu, and entered its carefully built defense line to prepare to continue to resist. Given that your troops have been unable to capture Taicang and cut off the rear route of the Chinese army, the headquarters specially dispatched a unit of the 6th Division to assist your troops. Commander Matsui ordered your troops to capture Taicang within three days, and then divided the troops to attack Suzhou and assist the 6th Division in capturing Suzhou. The main force continued to attack Changshu in the north, and there must be no mistakes in Zhenjiang." The communications consultant quickly finished the telegram.

After listening, Nakajima Imasa's face became even more ugly. He snatched the telegram in anger, torn it to pieces, and roared: "Have you heard that General Matsui has asked the Sixth Division to reinforce us. This is a humiliation to our 16th Division. A main army division cannot defeat a small town with only a few thousand remaining soldiers defending. This is simply a shame for the emperor, a shame for our 16th Division."

After roaring, Nakajima Imasago suddenly asked: "When will the 19th Infantry Brigade and the 20th Cavalry Regiment directly under the Division arrive?"

"Report to the general, the 19th Brigade, the 20th Cavalry Regiment and the light and heavy troops are coming, and it is expected to be three days later," said Mio Nakazawa, the chief of staff, who was standing by, and he replied in fear.

"Bagaya Road, Commander Matsui gives us only three days to generate electricity for the navy, so that they can speed up their navigation. We must transport our 19th Infantry Brigade and 20th Cavalry Regiment to the shore the day after tomorrow." Nakajima Imasago roared.

"Hai" Miu Nakazawa quickly lowered his head and responded.

At this moment, another communications soldier god walked in quickly and suddenly stood attentively and said, "Report to the division commander, you have just received a call from Colonel Okamoto's 13th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division. Colonel Okamoto said that he led his troops to pursue the defeated soldiers. He had just received a telegram from General Seokou, the division commander, to come to Taicang to cooperate with our troops in the battle."

"Call back to Okamoto and attacking Taicang is the task of our 16th Division, and they don't need their help." Nakashima Imasago was angry and waved his hand and ordered.

"Slowly" the chief of staff, Mio Nakazawa, who had not left, waved his hand to stop the communications soldiers, and immediately said to Nakajima Imao: "General, Huyi thinks this is inappropriate. Colonel Okamoto said in the telegram that they were pursuing defeated soldiers in the Chinese army. So Huyi guessed that the sudden appearance of the Chinese army last night should be the defeated soldiers that Colonel Okamoto and others pursued. Since this is the case, the 13th Infantry Regiment of our troops will also be responsible for the failure of our troops last night."

"So I suggest that the division commander can order Colonel Okamoto to lead the 13th Regiment to cooperate with our troops to launch an attack on Taicang, so that our troops can capture Taicang on time."

After all, Akasago Nakashima is a cunning old man. Why can't I understand the implicit meaning of Mifu Nakazawa and use the 13th Regiment as cannon fodder? If this was done in the past, Akasago Nakashima would have really disdained to do it, but now one of his two infantry corps was wiped out, and the other was more than half of the casualties, and the artillery corps was also lost. If the 13th Regiment was not used, he might not have completed the task assigned to him by Matsui Ishione.

So he pretended to be in silence for a moment, nodded happily, "Yoxi Nakazawa, you are right, just do what you said, and immediately generate electricity for Colonel Okamoto and ask him to lead his troops to come immediately."

"Hai" Miho Nakazawa and others bowed their heads and responded at the same time, then turned around and left.

In Taicang County, Zhang Xinghan and more than a dozen surviving suicide squad members met with Hu Lian. Seeing that Hu Lian was coming to reinforce, Zhang Xinghan hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you for your kindness in saving your life, Xinghan will never forget you." Bo You Hu Lian's words

"You are kind to you, Brother Xinghan, you and I are both principals and students. We should help each other as we serve the Party and the country. Besides, you have great achievements and great reputations. You are the leader of our party and role model. You are the anti-Japanese hero of our Chinese nation. If anyone else would have fought to save us." Hu Lian admired Zhang Xinghan very much. He is the leader of the colonel in the fourth phase of Huangpu, and Zhang Xinghan is already at the same level as him in the eleventh phase of Huangpu, and he has made great achievements many times. It is a matter of time before he was promoted.

Of course, what Hu Lian values ​​is Zhang Xinghan's character. Although he is a celebrity in front of the principal, he has no official airs. He regards fame and fortune as dirt, and leads his troops to fight with the Japanese invaders many times and makes great achievements. Such a bloody man is also valued by Hu Lian.

While the two of them were talking, they arrived around Luo Tianyou and others, with the left-behind troops in the city.

"Are you okay with the group zodiac?" Seeing Zhang Xinghan's blood all over, he asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Zhang Xinghan endured the pain of the wound, smiled slightly, and signaled everyone to rest.

"The Japanese withdrew their troops, and we have regained all positions outside the city." Luo Tianyou said excitedly when he saw that Zhang Xinghan was fine.

"Okay, this is not a place to talk. Let's talk about it when you enter the city." Zhang Xinghan turned to ask Hu Lian: "Brother Bo Yu can come to the city with me and guard Taicang together?" Zhang Xinghan was afraid that Hu Lian would just pass by, so he had another task.

"Well, my regiment has completed the blocking mission. Commander Peng knows that you are alone in Taicang, so I specially ordered me to lead my troops to reinforce," Hu Lian nodded and replied.

"Thank you very much for Commander Peng. If it weren't for him this time, Xinghan would have sacrificed his life to the country." Zhang Xinghan thought of Peng Shan and said with emotion.

"Brother Xinghan, how could you be trapped in the siege of the Japanese?" Hu Lian looked at Zhang Xinghan and more than a dozen soldiers covered in blood, and asked in confusion.

Zhang Xinghan took the lead and led the suicide squad to attack the Japanese artillery positions and destroy Japanese artillery artillery and poison gas bombs.

After hearing this, Hu Lian admired Zhang Xinghan even more.
