The north wind serked, Qiao Anbang kicked open the armored vehicle door and jumped out of the car. Under his feet was the headquarters of the former Guoqi Detachment, but this time he had already been leveled with an armored chariot.

As soon as Qiao Anbang got off the car, the military chiefs of each battalion company ran over excitedly.

"Round seat, regiment seat." The first battalion commander Wang Dingsheng, the second battalion commander Cao Er, the third battalion commander Li Yifeng, and the deputy battalion commander Li Jupeng and others all stepped forward and saluted.

"Yes." Qiao Anbang saw that Li Jupeng, deputy battalion commander of the Third Battalion, was wrapped in thick gauze on his left arm and asked immediately: "Why, the color is hanging?

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I was shot by a wounded Japanese soldier just now!" Li Jupeng replied with a chuckling.

"Don't leave a living for the Japanese on the battlefield in the future. If you see wounded soldiers, you will be executed. Be kind to the enemy means cruel to yourself!" Qiao Anbang ordered coldly.

"Yes!" Li Jupeng stood attentively and responded loudly.

"Royal Headquarters, we defeated the Guoqi Detachment in this battle. Why didn't we take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results?" The third battalion commander Li Yifeng was obviously puzzled by Qiao Anbang's order to stop the pursuit.

Qiao Anbang looked up at the sky and then explained: "There is at least two hours left before dark. If we continue to pursue, we can certainly expand the results of the war, but the Japanese aviation forces will definitely pose a serious threat to us. Although our armored troops have certain air defense capabilities, they are not enough to completely deal with the Japanese air force." In fact, there is another point that Qiao Anbang did not say, that is, what he lacks most now is talents. The armored soldiers are now killed by one less, so he is unwilling to take the risk of pursuing the Guoqi Detachment during the day.

"Oh." Li Yifeng and others nodded softly when they heard this: "It's better when we can have our own air force."

"Don't worry, sooner or later we will have our own Air Force." Qiao Anbang comforted thoughtfully.

"Royal Head, what should we do next?" The first battalion commander Wang Dingsheng asked when he saw Qiao Anbang seemed to have something to do.

"Order each company to quickly clean the battlefield and then withdraw into the woods at the foot of the mountain." Qiao Anbang ordered: "After darkness, follow me to reinforce Wuhu!"

"Reinforcement of Wuhu?" Wang Dingsheng, Li Yifeng and others looked at each other in confusion.

"Oh, I received a telegram from our Wuhu defender before. The Japanese 18th Division is currently attacking Wuhu! After dark, the Japanese plane will not come out again, so we must take advantage of the night to reinforce Wuhu!" Of course, Qiao Anbang did not receive a telegram from the Wuhu defender. However, based on his understanding of history, while the Guoqi Detachment attacked Dangtu, the Japanese 18th Division was also attacking Wuhu.

After saying that, Qiao Anbang waved his hand and said, "Cleaning the battlefield quickly, the Japanese plane will arrive later."

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and saluted and replied in unison.

In this battle, the security regiment killed more than 4,000 Japanese troops. Due to the armored troops and powerful artillery troops clearing obstacles and dangers for the infantry, the security regiment itself suffered few casualties.

After this battle, the elite 11th Infantry Regiment of Guoqi Detachment was wiped out, the 41st Regiment suffered heavy damage, and the Third Mountain Artillery Regiment of Independent Artillery was wiped out. The entire Guoqi Detachment can be said to have been crippled. Without the supplementary force from ten days and half a month later, it would be impossible for the Guoqi Detachment to recover its combat power in a short period of time.

The security regiments' battalions and companies hurriedly cleaned the battlefield and just retreated into the woods at the foot of Ma'anshan Mountain. About a dozen Japanese fighters and bombers roared from the sky in the distance.

After searching the entire battlefield for a long time, I found no trace of the Chinese army. In the end, I had to return helplessly, but they could only see the corpses everywhere.

In the woods, Qiao Anbang smoked and said to Yali next to him: "Immediately defeat our troops and the Guoqi detachment, and detailed a message to report the victory to the Nanjing Garrison Command!"

"Yes." Yali responded softly and left.

…………………

Nanjing Garrison Headquarters.

General Tang has been overwhelmed by the battle reports that are floating like snow on the front line. To be honest, General Tang has not been in charge of troops for ten years since he was defeated by the National Government controlled by Li Zongren.

Moreover, he is a mediocre person in both strategic vision and tactical level. It may be good to play with politics, but if he really wants to command the large corps to fight, he is not much better than Chairman Jiang.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chairman Jiang chose Tang Shengzhi as the commander of Nanjing City Defense and Garage, which was a waste of his dozen elite Central Command.

Just when Tang Shengzhi was at a loss and was restless, Deputy Commander Liu Xing walked in excitedly with a telegram in his hand: "Brother Meng Xiao, a great victory."

"Tiefu, the front line is in a hurry now. Are there great victory?" Tang Shengzhi said in confusion.

"Dangtu's victory!" Liu Xing said with excitement: "Zhiheji Security Group defeated the Japanese Guoqi Detachment in the Ma'anshan area in Dangtu, killing more than 4,000 enemies and achieving Dangtu's victory!"

"What did you say? Defeat the Guoqi Detachment?" Tang Shengzhi said in a daze: "What are the troops of the Guoqi Detachment?"

"The Kunizaki Detachment was transformed from the 9th Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese general Banyoko Shiro as the base, plus an independent mountain artillery corps. It has a total of nearly 8,000 troops, which you knew before." Liu Xing said in confusion.

"I know." Tang Shengzhi said with a shocked expression: "How many people can the Zhiheji Security Group have?"

"A local armed group will kill two thousand people." Liu Xing answered without hesitation.

"You mean that the Zhiheji Security Group defeated the Guoqi Detachment head-on with two thousand rammies and severely injured it?" Tang Shengzhi was a little doubtful if the security team lied about their military achievements.

"Commander, the Shanghai branch of the Military Intelligence Bureau sent a secret message!" A communications consultant walked in with a message and stood up immediately and said, "The secret message said that the Japanese Guozaki Detachment encountered our elite main force in Dangtu, and suffered heavy losses."

Tang Shengzhi was shocked when he heard this, turned to look at Liu Xing, nodded and said, "It's amazing, a mere local militia can defeat an elite detachment of the Japanese invaders!"

"Yes, it seems that what they said before was annihilated a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army was not a lie!" Liu Xing nodded and echoed.

"Yeah!" Tang Shengzhi pondered for a while and nodded, "Immediately report to the committee's seat that the Zhi and Ji Security Group won the Ma'anshan victory, and also inform the front-line divisions to boost the morale of the army. I hope that the brothers on the front line will fight bravely to fight the enemy, and swear to defend Nanjing City to the death and defend the Prime Minister's Mausoleum from harassed by Japanese pirates!"

"Yes!" Liu Xing immediately responded, then turned around and left.

………………………………

Suzhou, the former headquarters of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army in Nanjing Battle.

Lieutenant General Asakamiya Hirohiko, who was in charge of commanding the Nanjing Battle, was wiping his imperial treasure sword given to him by Emperor Hirohito. At this moment, Major General Ianze-Sawa-Shou, the former chief of staff of the Shanghai Expedition Army, walked in with a heavy face.

Asakamiya Kurihiko, who had sharp eyes, saw the telegram in Wanze Sho's right hand at a glance. He drew his knife and asked coldly, "Mr. Ianze, what happened?"

"Your Highness, you just received the battle report from the Guoqi Detachment." Ianze Sho downed his head respectfully and said: "The Guoqi Detachment encountered the main force of the Chinese army in the area of ​​Ma'anshan, Dangtu. After a hard battle, the Guoqi Detachment suffered heavy losses and was defeated by the Chinese army. He has now retreated to Lishui."

"Kuozaki Detachment? If I remember correctly, this unit should be affiliated with the Fifth Division of Shiro Banhenghou." Asakamiya Hirahiko asked calmly after hearing this.

"Yes." Ianzetsu Shuo asked without knowing what he asked, but he still lowered his head and replied.

"Banheng Zhengjun swept dozens of divisions and hundreds of thousands of troops across North China with just half of the division. Why did the idiot Kōzaki den lose a lot of battles in Dangtu?" Asakagumi Hatsuhiko thought of the clear telegram he had received before and said angrily.

"Your Highness, there must be elite troops of the Chinese army in Dangtu. According to the report of the Guoqi Detachment, the Chinese army they encountered not only had heavy artillery groups but also had armored vehicles, and had very strong combat power. Beizhi guessed that it might be the elite troops secretly formed by the Chiang government!" Fanzeshou hurriedly replied with trembling trembling.

"Baga! The elite Chinese troops? Are they even more powerful than hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in the North China battlefield?" Asakaguchi Hirohiko roared like a volcano erupting.

"Have you angry!" Seeing that Akagakura Kuchihiko was angry, I quickly lowered my head and persuaded with a respectful expression.

"What is the number of this unit? Who is the commander?" Asakagumi Hakuhiko asked with a sigh of relief.

"According to the explicit telegram they sent earlier, they should be the China Pheasant and the Ji Security Group, and the commander is unknown." Ianzetsu replied quickly.

"Bagaya Road, immediately instruct the intelligence department to immediately find out the numbers of these Chinese army and the detailed information of the commander!" Asakamiya Hirohiko obviously did not believe that this would be a local security team, and immediately roared: "Hurry up!"

"Hayi!" Fanzeshou suddenly lowered his head, then turned around and left quickly.

Lushan, camping.

After Chairman Jiang handed over the urban defense of Nanjing to Tang Shengzhi, he took a special plane to leave Beijing and came to Lushan. Lushan was just his transit station. After a short rest, Chairman Jiang was going to Wuhan.

Although the National Government has declared Chongqing as the capital at this moment, the administrative and military and political centers of the National Government are both in Wuhan and have not been transferred to Chongqing yet.

Chairman Jiang sat in the study and frowned, as if he was worried. At this time, he was worried about the Battle of Nanjing. After all, Nanjing is the capital of China at this time. Once it is lost, it will have a huge impact. As the leader of the National Government, how can he not worry?

However, in recent days, all the news from the front line has been bad news. Chairman Jiang, who had originally expected Tang Shengzhi to stay in Nanjing for three to six months, was also a little discouraged and regretted not following Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi and others' suggestions to abandon Nanjing.

After all, there are more than a dozen direct divisions under Nanjing City, Jiang and others, with more than 100,000 elite troops. Once the Japanese army surrounds Nanjing on three sides, then his own dozen divisions will be finished.

The situation that might happen in the Nanjing Defense War was previously predicted by Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren and others. From the current perspective, the decline in the front line has been revealed, and it is very likely that Bai Li and others' predictions will come true.

This is something Chairman Jiang really doesn't want to see. At this moment, he hopes that Tang Shengzhi can fight a few beautiful battles on the front line to stabilize the situation.

Just as Chairman Jiang was full of confidence and restless, rapid footsteps sounded outside the door. Chairman Jiang turned around and saw his guard Wang Shihe walking in excitedly.

Seeing Wang Shihe's face full of joy, Chairman Jiang asked, "Shihe, what's wrong?"

"Commission, call from Nanjing. A local security team of our army encountered the Japanese Guoqi detachment in Ma'anshan area in Dangtu. After fierce battles, they defeated the enemy in front, killed more than 4,000 enemies and seized countless!" Wang Shihe replied with an excited expression.
