At this time, the Japanese stationed in Wuxi City were two infantry squadrons and some logistics personnel from the first battalion of the 36th Regiment of the 9th Division, with a total force of about 500 people.

After learning that Yangji Town was suddenly attacked by a large number of Chinese troops and lost, the Japanese captain Liu Jiuya Zhongzuo commanded the troops to strengthen the garrison, while sending an emergency telegram to the 9th Division Headquarters for emergency tactical guidance.

In Wuxi City, hundreds of Japanese soldiers drove out of the city under the leadership of officers and entered the preset positions outside the city. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers with guns and ammunition were also placed on the top of the city.

After quickly preparing all emergency preparedness, Liu Jiuya Nakasa led a few guards to the city and said proudly: "Yoxi, in this way we can stick to the reinforcements."

………………………………

Command of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army outside Nanjing.

The commander of the 9th Division, Masashi Yoshikarasuke and Chief of Staff Colonel Nakagawa, stood in front of the map to discuss military information. Suddenly, a communications staff member hurriedly walked in, suddenly stood up and saluted the two of them, "Report to General, you have just received an urgent call from the wine brigade, and a large number of regular Chinese troops suddenly appeared in the north of Wuxi City."

"Huh?" Ji Jialiangfu was slightly shocked when he heard this and said: "The Chinese Regular Army? Hasn't the Wuxi area been cleared by the Imperial Army? At most, the ones who existed by luck were some scattered soldiers. How could there be Chinese Regular Army? Called back to the Liujiu Brigade and ordered them to verify the specific number of the Chinese regiment!" Ji Jialiangfu did not know that the Tiger Ben Regiment had successively captured Lishui, Liyang, Yixing and other places in recent days, so he did not expect that the outside of Wuxi City would have issued a clear message a few days ago to wipe out the Tiger Ben Regiment of the 18th Division.

In fact, this is also the drawback of the strict hierarchy of the Japanese army. Just like the wine brigade left behind in Wuxi, they could actually first report the situation to the Suzhou Expeditionary Army Headquarters. In this way, the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Forward Command will inevitably mobilize the intelligence department to investigate and verify the situation after learning about it. After comprehensively integrating all aspects of the situation, they will soon be able to make correct response measures.

However, Liujiu Brigade belongs to the 9th Division, so Liujiumi can only report the situation to the 9th Division headquarters first. The 9th Division is hundreds of miles away and is frequently on the front line. The news is blocked and suddenly receives information from the Chinese army outside Wuxi City, they will inevitably ask and verify the situation further to Liujiu Brigade before they can respond.

When Ji Jialiangfu noticed the danger, the only thing he could do was to ask the Suzhou Expeditionary Army Headquarters for help, but this time was delayed. By the time the Japanese reacted, it was too late.

"Hay!" The communications officer suddenly lowered his head and responded loudly, then turned around and took the order and left.

Wuxi

After receiving the call from Ji Jia Ryosuke, Liu Jiuya Zhongzhao said depressedly: "The Sanchuan team exchanged fire with the Chinese people in less than half a minute and was wiped out in 20 minutes. This is enough to show that the Chinese army that appeared in Yangji Town was definitely not some scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers."

"Sir, but the division commander asked us to verify the specific strength of the Chinese army, etc.," the adjutant next to him said with a bitter face.

Liu Jiuya paced back and forth and thought for a moment: "If you can wipe out the Sanchuan team in such a short time, then the Chinese army's forces are at least one or two regiments or even more. I will call the division commander immediately..."

Just as Liu Jiumi finished speaking, a second lieutenant suddenly ran in with a saber in a panic and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, it's not good. The Chinese are here and are currently attacking our positions outside the city."

"Baga!" Liu Jiumi was shocked and asked immediately: "How many troops are there in the Chinese people outside the city? How much firepower is?"

"The Chinese people have at least three regiments, and they also have armored chariot groups and heavy artillery groups!" The second lieutenant replied quickly.

"What? Armored chariot group? That must be the regular main force of the Chinese people!" Liu Jiumi was surprised and immediately said to the adjutant: "Immediately call the division commander back, saying that we were attacked by the regular main force of the Chinese army, and request emergency support!"|

"Hayi!" The adjutant suddenly lowered his head and turned around and walked towards the radio.

"Order all infantry squadrons to block with all their strength!" Liu Jiuya ordered the second lieutenant officer again.

"Hayi!" The second lieutenant also lowered his head suddenly. Just as he was about to turn around and walk out, suddenly a deafening explosion sounded outside the city.

"Baga!? What's going on?" Liu Jiumi was shocked when she heard the sound.

The second lieutenant of the Japanese said in a panic: "Sir, this must be the heavy artillery of the Chinese army being bombarded at us."

"Heavy artillery?" Liu Jiumi's eyes were full of fear, and she immediately staggered outward, and the Japanese lieutenant hurriedly followed closely.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Outside the city, Qiao Anbang stood calmly in front of the temporary command center with a telescope high and watched the masterpiece of the artillery battalion. In the telescope, the Japanese positions outside the city had already been covered with huge fires and rolling smoke.

After a while of blasting the positions outside the Japanese City, the artillery battalion pointed the muzzle at the top of Wuxi City.

After a while, Qiao Anbang put down his telescope and turned around and said, "Order the artillery battalion to stop the artillery attack, and all infantry battalions attack immediately! Capture Wuxi City!"

"Yes!" The messenger waiting on the side responded loudly, then turned around and left quickly.

Soon, Qiao Anbang's troops were passed down, and the artillery battalions stopped shelling one after another. Then thousands of infantrymen of the Tiger Ben regiment launched a charge against the already fragmented positions outside the Japanese city under the cover of heavy machine guns and grenade mortars directly under the battalion.

"Rare! Kill!" The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Group roared in unison and rushed towards the Japanese position filled with smoke.

Under the fierce artillery fire of the artillery battalion, nearly 200 Japanese soldiers who left the city to guard were killed and injured. The dozens of Japanese soldiers who were surviving were suppressed by the rainy machine guns and submachine guns. They were immediately overwhelmed by thousands of people from the Tiger Ben Group.

After capturing the Japanese outside the city positions with no effort, the infantry of each battalion did not stop, but continued to rush towards the city. At this time, many places in the city walls had been collapsed by artillery battalions. The infantry opened fire violently at the top of the city and rushed towards the collapse of the city wall.

"Shoot! Hurry up, shoot!" Seeing that the Chinese army captured his position outside the city in an instant, they rushed towards the city wall again. Liu Jiuya Nakasa, in horror, immediately drew out his command knife and came to a Type 92 heavy machine gun to urge the machine gunner to shoot quickly.

However, Liu Jiumi was soon frightened to discover that the heavy machine guns that used to deal with the Chinese army could not suppress the Chinese army at all.

The Chinese army under the city had extremely fierce firepower, and their rifles could actually shoot continuously, and the firepower was almost as high as the Imperial Army's Dazheng 11 light machine gun.

Just as Liu Jiumi was surprised that the Chinese army was in the city was powerful, a burst of rapid bullets roared. Liu Jiumi instinctively squatted down. The dense bullets suddenly made the walls of mud splash. The heavy machine gunner who was shooting desperately was also caught several bullets and fell straight to the ground.

"Baga! Continue shooting..." Liu Jiuya roared in anger when she saw this.

The deputy shooter on the side quickly flew the crane gun and continued to shoot at the city.

…………………………………

9th Division Headquarters.

The communications officer rushed to Yoshikarasuke with a telegram in his hand and said in a panic: "General, General, General, the First Battalion called back. They were attacked by the regular Chinese army of at least three regiments. Liu Jiya Nakasa asked for emergency support."

"What? Three groups?" Kika Ryosuke was obviously surprised and hurriedly said, "The information is accurate?"

"Yes, General, this is an urgent telegram sent by the Liujiu Brigade. The telegram said that the Chinese army outside the city has strong military strength, and also has armored chariot groups and heavy artillery groups!" The communications consultant nodded and replied.

"Bagaya Road!" Ji Jialiangfu was furious when he heard this: "How could such a well-equipped Chinese army suddenly appear in Wuxi? What's going on?"

The Chief of Staff, Hiroshi Nakagawa, knew the powerful relationship, lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "General, Hu Zhi guessed that the Chinese army outside Wuxi City was probably the China Tiger Ben in Wuhu a few days ago."

"The Chinese Tiger Regiment? Didn't they fight the 18th Division in Wuhu area?" Ji Jialiangfu was puzzled: "Is the 18th Division really destroyed by them?"

"No, Bei Zhi guessed that they might have gotten rid of the 18th Division and rushed to Wuxi for a long distance!" Nakagawa Hiroshi explained thoughtfully.

"Is their target Suzhou?" Ji Jialiangsuke was shocked. Ji Jialiangsuke knew that if the Chinese army outside Wuxi City really had armored chariot groups and heavy artillery groups, then a few hundred people from the Liujiu Brigade could not defend Wuxi City. It would be a big problem if Wuxi City lost it, but Suzhou City not far from Wuxi was in danger. The Expeditionary Army Headquarters and Prince Hirohiko Asagakuen were both in Suzhou. Thinking of this, Ji Jialiangsuke suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Hiroshi Nakagawa nodded gently and said, "This possibility is not ruled out, but what Beizhi wonders is that if their target is really Suzhou, then how did they know that my dispatched army headquarters is located in Suzhou? Could it be that there are traitors within the Imperial Army?"

"No matter whether their target is Suzhou or not, immediately generate electricity to Prince Hirohiko Asaka Palace, let him prepare in advance, and withdraw back to Shanghai immediately if necessary!" Ji Jialiangsuke waved his hand and ordered.
