Bird Feather saw anxiously ordered: " Immediately withdraw from Lake Tai. Our gunboats do not carry anti-submarine weapons. Retreat immediately!"”
sob ~
With a long whistle, the Birdfeather-class gunboat began to reverse, preparing to escape from Taihu Lake.
Bird Feather said as he commanded the soldiers to pilot the gunboat and prepare to escape,""Quick, signalman, immediately inform the headquarters to request for air force support. Leave the submarine to the air force.”
"Captain Chen, the enemy is escaping. Should we surface and attack the enemy's gunboat?”，the radar soldier asked.
"Wait a minute. Can the radar detect the enemy's air force over Taihu Lake?" Chen Yongxin immediately asked.”
The radar soldier said," Yes, it should be Jiang Yin's position. There are five enemy planes flying towards this area of water. Should we surface?"”
"Keep quiet and let the enemy go. This submarine is our only treasure.”，Chen Yongxin said.
After the Japanese planes circled around Taihu Lake a few times, they did not find Chen Yongxin's submarine, so they dropped a few depth charges and left in a hurry.
The remaining Japanese gunboat also escaped from Taihu Lake, but the enemy only lost one gunboat and five people.
On Lake Tai, there were nearly 200 fishermen's bodies floating. On the shore, the relatives of the fishermen were crying and cursing the ancestors of the Japanese from time to time.
He Fan stood on the disguised watchtower of Qionglong Mountain and looked at the scene of the apocalypse that was like hell. He sighed helplessly. After all, among his 10,000 men, only 1,300 of them had the strength to fight. The other 9,000 had just begun training. They could not attack the Japanese and restrain the Japanese army that attacked Nanjing.
"Commander, the Japanese are advancing very quickly! I heard that the defense of Nanjing has started. The situation is not good for our army. The Japanese have a total of nearly 200,000 people, and there are only 150,000 people guarding Nanjing. Should we attack and reduce the pressure on the brothers guarding Nanjing?”，Chen Long asked.
He Fan looked at the soldiers who were training and frowned.
"How many people are there in Suzhou City? Let's see if we can attack Suzhou City and reduce the pressure on them!”
Chen Long said,"The people we sent came back from Suzhou City. They said that there was a squadron of 200 Japanese soldiers in Suzhou City, and about 1000 Japanese soldiers. The main force went to attack Nan Capital."”
"If that's the case, then the enemy's defenses in Suzhou are weak, so what are we waiting for? He ordered the 1,300 veterans to pack up their equipment and set off! Everyone else, continue training!"
In Su Prefecture City, one of Yiteng's squadrons stayed behind.
Originally, they had planned to leave a large group behind, but under Yiteng's strong opposition, only a squadron of 200 people remained in Suzhou. The Japanese had long thought that the Chinese army had long lost their morale. Who would want to die and attack Suzhou?
Ito was sitting leisurely in the former National Government compound in Suzhou, holding a bottle of sake he brought from the Wei Nation in one hand while pointing at the map of China hanging on the wall.
"China will belong to our Great Japan Empire! The world will also belong to our Great Japan Empire. Where are our troops now?”
"Squadron Leader, Commander Matsui has already made a thorough deployment of the outer perimeter of Nanjing. Even if the enemy escapes, they won't be able to escape unless they cross the Yangtze River by boat. However, I heard that the commander of China actually ordered all the ships to sink, vowing to burn their bridges and fight to the death with us.”
"Matsushita-kun, Nanjing is now within our grasp. As for Suzhou City, kill all suspicious resistance members. Our Great Japan Empire only needs obedient slaves.”，Yiteng ordered with a serious expression.
Su Prefecture City
The Japanese were searching for the rebels everywhere, and He Fan brought 1,300 veterans to Su Prefecture City.
This time, they did not bring any tanks. After all, the farmers were widening the road, and the road had not been completely repaired yet. Therefore, He Fan's 1,300 people only brought rifles, machine guns, and infantry cannons. The infantry cannons were the Japanese Type 41 75mm mountain cannons, weighing 540 kilograms. They were pulled by mules and horses raised by the villagers.
He Fan's 1,300 men brought along 10 mountain cannons, 500 rounds of ammunition, 25 G34 machine guns, each with 1500 rounds of ammunition, four mortars, and 200 rounds of ammunition. Forty mules and horses were requisitioned, and 500 villagers and refugees were requisitioned to be responsible for the transportation of ammunition.
The devil stayed in Su Prefecture City, and most of the patrols outside the city were handed over to the two devils.
Among the two devils, there was a squadron of 200 people from Koryo, and the remaining 800 people were puppet troops who surrendered to the Japanese army. They were often bullied by the two devils from Koryo, but they did not dare to make a sound.
After all, the two devils of Korea were even more ruthless than the Japanese when dealing with the Chinese.
He Fan rode a donkey and walked in the middle of the group.
"Pu Wuhao, Wu Xi, go ahead and scout the situation. Pay attention to the patrolling puppet troops. Once they get close, you can eliminate them.”
Wu Xi was confused.
"Commander, the sound of the Barrett is too loud. If we kill the patrolling puppet soldiers, we might attract the enemy and expose our army!”
He Fan calmly took out the Barrett silencer.
"Here, put this on. The sound will be very soft!”
He Fan handed the silencer to Wu Xi. Wu Xi took the silencer and put it on. He jogged to the front and climbed up a big tree to observe the enemy's situation.
"Get down quickly, it's not easy to escape from the tree!”，Pu Wu Hao reminded.
"Understood! There weren't many people guarding the city wall. Outside the southern gate, there were about a hundred puppet soldiers patrolling. They could advance!”，Wu Xi jumped down from the tree and said.
He Fan heard Wu Xi's report and immediately ordered.
"Hurry up and attack Su Prefecture City!”
In less than half a day, it was noon. When the puppet troops and the devils had started eating lunch, He Fan's 1,300 men had also driven into the high ground less than five miles away from the city gate of Su Prefecture.
"The national army is here. Quick, close the city gates!”
The alarm bells on the city wall rang continuously, and some Korean devils kept firing into the sky to warn the Japanese devils stationed in the city.
Ito was eating a sumptuous lunch prepared by a Chinese chef when he heard the sudden gunshot. Ito reflexively picked up his gun.
"Matsushita, what happened? Is the Chinese army attacking?”
Panting, Matsushita said,""I went out to take a look. I heard from the patrolling soldiers that the Chinese Army appeared on the small high ground at the south gate. There were at least a thousand of them!”
Yiteng's eyes widened.
"Baka, aren't the Chinese army defending Nanjing? How could they still have the strength to attack Su City? You must have lied about the military situation.”
On top of the city wall, Major Kim Hee-hyung of Goryeo made a call.
"Moxi, Moxi, Company Leader, bad news! The main force of the Chinese army is here! They've used at least ten Type 41 Mountain Cannons, four mortars, and thirty heavy machine guns. Their firepower is extremely fierce. We can't hold on much longer. Requesting reinforcements!”
"Baka, how can a thousand Chinese soldiers have so much heavy equipment? There is at least a division of the Chinese Army here. Send a telegram to Commander Ishigne Matsui immediately, saying that we have encountered at least a division of the Chinese Army in Suzhou City. The enemy's offensive is fierce, and it should be the main force. Requesting backup!”，Yiteng said anxiously.
Matsui Iwane, who was commanding Nan Jing's assault, was shocked when he saw the request for help from Suzhou City.
"Baka, why is there a main force of the Chinese army in Su Prefecture City? Could it be that the Chinese army is preparing to cut off the passage between us and the Shanghai Sea from Suzhou City and eat our troops under the Nan capital in one bite? However, the recent reconnaissance aircraft did not find the enemy's main force!”
"Itagaki Seishiro, quickly lead your regiment to reinforce Suzhou City. Once you discover that it's the enemy's main force, you must report it in time! The other regiments must reinforce their attacks and force Jiang to surrender!”，Matsui Iwane ordered.
Su Prefecture City
He Fan's troops used Type 41 Mountain Cannons, mortars, and G34 machine guns to open up a path.
The turrets and bunkers that the devils had spent a lot of money and resources to build were all blown up.
Some of the puppet soldiers did not have time to run out of the bunker and were crushed to death by the collapsed bricks.
He Fan deployed ten mountain cannons and four mortars at the south gate and smashed them at the Japanese soldiers on the city wall.
The city wall was bombarded with bullets, and the ground shook with the sound of explosions. The broken bodies of the Japanese soldiers were thrown into the air by the shock wave and then smashed to the ground.
The Japanese were not to be trifled with, especially the Japanese. They quickly maintained their composure and fought back with their heavy machine guns. Then, the artillery fire smashed into the heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. The Japanese did not have time to dodge and fell into a pool of blood. The Japanese, who were used to suppressing the national army with firepower, experienced the feeling of being suppressed by firepower for the first time. It also shattered their confidence of being invincible.
At this moment, Yiteng had also personally climbed up the city wall and looked at the black muzzle at the south gate.
"Baka, why would the Chinese Army have our weapons? Who sold our 41 Mountain Cannon to them!”
Yiteng was waving his commanding sword as he roared and ordered.
" Machine Gunner, suppress, suppress!"
Wu Xi had already locked onto Ito.
The big fish is mine! Pu Wuhao said and pulled the trigger first.
Yiteng was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield. When Pu Wuhao pulled the trigger, he subconsciously tilted his head, and the result was that his other ear was shot.
Ito immediately ran down the city wall and covered his bleeding ears.
"Matsushita, quick, go, tell the soldiers to prepare to retreat into the government building to defend. I'm afraid that the city wall won't be able to hold on.”
