Agents of the Republic of China

Huo Yan and Lao Quan didn't expect to meet Li Shiqun and others who were about to enter Wuxi City at this time.The [-] special forces led by Lao Quan came to the front three days ago. Originally, under Lin Xiaotang's order, they attacked the city tower tonight, creating the illusion that the Japanese started to attack, but they did not expect that when they were about to attack, But saw a group of defeated soldiers arrive at the foot of Wuxi city, and the gate of Wuxi city was opened.

Huo Yan and Lao Quan burst into ecstasy, if they took this opportunity to take down the city gate in one fell swoop, that would be a miracle.Just after ordering the artillery battalion of the Suzhou Qingxiang Army behind him to fire a burst of artillery fire, Huoyan saw Li Shiqun in the crowd, and was even more overjoyed. Then, the Japanese special forces commanded by Yazawa Shinichi and Yuan Jianfeng began to fight with Li Shiqun. The subordinates fought hand in hand.

The support troops in the city also rushed out at this time, but the width of the city gate was so large, although there were a large number of troops in the city, they were blocked in the gate by the melee crowd, making it difficult to move through the city for a while.

Huo Yan and Lao Quan took advantage of the situation and led their subordinates to kill, finally giving Yazawa Shinichi's troops a chance to breathe.Huo Yan and Lao Quan inevitably looked at each other in dismay. After fighting the Japanese for a lifetime, they actually stood together at this moment, which made people angry and funny.

The Japanese special forces and Lin Xiaotang's special forces were both elite troops built with a lot of money. Naturally, the equipment was not comparable to that of the Qingxiang troops. The firepower composed of hundreds of submachine guns caused countless casualties to the troops in the city gate.The Qingxiang troops suddenly became confused.

Yazawa Shinichi and Yuan Jianfeng had also rushed to the battlefield at this time. Ivan, who was behind Yuan Jianfeng, saw Huoyan, and his eyes immediately shot two bright lights. He ambushed Li Shiqun that day. Although the two did not fight directly, they were under Li Shiqun's hands. The sniper in front of him suffered a bit of a dark loss.Both of them felt that there was a bit of embarrassment.Later, I heard that that person was Xia Haoming under Li Shiqun. In the next year, I only paid attention to this person. Ivan followed Yuan Jianfeng and fought Xia Haoming twice along the way, but they didn't take advantage of it. nothing cheap.At this time, seeing the long-lost Huoyan under the city of Wuxi again, Ivan suddenly became determined to win.

Both Yazawa Shinichi and Yuan Jianfeng knew Huoyan, knew that he was Lin Xiaotang's right-hand man, and followed Lin Xiaotang when he first arrived in Shanghai, so they were very polite when they met.

Yazawa Shinichi was very surprised, "Why are you small troops, the troops of Commander Tang Shengming and the head of the Yamada Brigade?"

Huoyan smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, how did we mobilize the troops of the head of the Yamada Brigade? Although they are the closest to the city wall of Wuxi, Commander Tang is helpless!"

"Bageya Road!" Yazawa Shinichi was furious, "Even if he refuses to obey the transfer, he will always deploy people near Wuxi. We are chasing Li Shiqun all the way. Didn't His Excellency Yamada notice it?"

Yazawa Shinichi turned his head and said to Yuan Jianfeng: "Immediately send a report to the head of the Yamada Brigade in the name of the Shanghai Special High School, asking him to send troops to attack Wuxi City immediately. He doesn't know the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army of the Chinese people." , Cooperating with the battle is okay, how can we leave the tough battle to them. If Li Shiqun cannot be calmed down quickly, then Jiangsu and Zhejiang will cause great chaos!"

Xie Yunchao and Huang Jingzhai got the report, and they had already arrived at the top of the city. Then they looked down from the lights, and couldn't help taking a breath. The elite troops of the Japanese Army and the Imperial Association Army were storming the opened city gate, and they were responding to Li Shiqun. The army's troops fought in a melee, the two sides criss-crossed, bullets flew across the city gate, and the explosions of grenades and grenades came and went one after another.

Huang Jingzhai's face turned pale, "Oops, it looks like the Japanese have already made up their minds. They followed Director Li all the time, and they suddenly launched an attack when they arrived at the foot of Wuxi city. They wanted to take this opportunity to break through the city wall in one fell swoop!"

Xie Yunchao frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, there are our eyeliners outside the city, why didn't we notice any movement. The top priority is to bring the director into the city as soon as possible, strengthen the defense of the city wall, and prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of it!"

Before the words fell, there was a series of shells piercing the sky. Xie Yunchao's expression changed, and he hurriedly dragged Huang Jingzhai to the bunker. Dozens of shells accurately hit the fortifications on the city wall, causing a burst of smoke and dust. Afterwards, more than a dozen gaps were blown into the city wall, and dozens of soldiers disappeared.

"The Japanese are about to start a general attack!" Huang Jingzhai grabbed Xie Yunchao's hand, and he didn't care to wipe off the black smoke marks on his face. "Hurry up and order a counterattack, otherwise, the director won't be able to enter the city, and we have to finish the game!"

Xie Yunchao immediately ordered the artillery units in the city to start fighting back. Of course, their target was the combat power distribution map that Boss Nong had obtained from Suzhou after a narrow escape.Xie Yunchao also kept an eye out and did not bombard the Japanese garrison marked on the map, but chose the relatively weak position of the Imperial Association Army to bombard.

How did he know that this distribution map was originally Lin Xiaotang's masterpiece. The distribution of military forces outside Wuxi City marked on it was based on the information obtained by Xie Yunchao's subordinates, and some small changes were made to deploy all Japanese troops. It was exposed to the sun, so what Xie Yunchao attacked at this time was the barracks of Yamada Kaiji outside Wuxi City.

When Yamada Kaiji received the telegram from Yazawa Shinichi, he was indeed a little dismissive.Although intelligence agencies such as the field troops and the Special Higher Section belong to the Ministry of the Army, they do not restrain each other. As a major general of the army, Yamada Kaiji naturally has some resistance to the orders of Yazawa Shinichi, a junior subordinate.If it weren't for Yazawa Shinichi's close relationship with the royal family, especially when he was the confidant of Prince Asaka Miya Hatohiko, the military councilor at the base camp at the time.

Asaka Miya Hatohiko used to be the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army. After the Battle of Songhu, he replaced the sick Matsui Iwane as the commander-in-chief of the attack on Nanjing. The massacre in Nanjing was planned by him and personally issued the order.Later, due to the pressure of public opinion, he was transferred back to the mainland, but his prestige in the army still existed. Therefore, Yamada Kaiji had to order the artillery to respond to the attack on Wuxi.In his view, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to conquer Wuxi in one fell swoop through such a battle for the door.Therefore, he did not intend to send troops.

But what happened next forced Yamada Kaiji to change his mind.The bombardment of the Japanese army has just come to an end.But Wuxi launched an earth-shattering counterattack.

谢云巢精心打造的炮兵团开始向日军军营发动炮击，96式155毫米的迫击炮、41式75毫米的山炮、94式75毫米山炮等等，全部上阵。将措不及防的日军军营炸了一个鬼哭狼嚎。

On the one hand, Yamada Kaiji did not expect Qingxiang troops to dare to take the initiative to attack the Imperial Japanese Army; on the other hand, he underestimated Li Shiqun's military strength, and did not expect their equipment to be so sophisticated.

Ever since, even if Yamada Kaiji was not happy anymore, he had to mobilize the army and start attacking Wuxi.

After the main force of the Japanese brigade went into battle, Tang Shengming and Lin Xiaotang also received the news from Huoyan and began to organize troops to support them. However, they clearly divided their responsibilities, that is, to support closely, and of course the most difficult battles must be handed over to Japanese army.

During the scuffle, Li Shiqun, Xia Zhiping and others finally entered Wuxi. Before they could catch their breath, the firepower of the Japanese army had opened a gap in the gate of the east city they had entered. Street fighting broke out.

Li Shiqun never expected that his plan of retreating to Wuxi, which he had worked so hard to plan, would turn into the current situation.At present, we can only order [-] elite troops to desperately drive out the Japanese troops who invaded the city.

The No.13 Division is, after all, the Type A division of the Japanese Army. The Qingxiang troops originally occupied the fortified city, and they still had the power to fight. Suddenly they had to face the most elite Japanese division. They have not been tempered by the flames of war, and once they fight, they can see each other immediately.Especially in hand-to-hand combat in street fighting, often seven or eight soldiers from Qingxiang troops could not stop the sprint of two Japanese soldiers, and the troops quickly broke up and retreated.

Xie Yunchao killed two company commanders who retreated first, and then stopped the retreat of the defeated soldiers, and finally formed a line of defense in the city.The excellent advantages in equipment began to be reflected, blocking the Japanese army at the front line of Huishan Street.The Japanese army reunited three times in a row, but because the streets were not wide and the firepower of Qingxiang troops was extremely fierce, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but they were still unable to rush forward.

And Tang Shengming's troops also "fighted fiercely" with Qingxiang's troops in the Nanmen area, and there was no way to spare troops to rescue them, and the battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

Yamada Kaiji had nothing to do, other than yelling anxiously, he didn't make any contribution to the current situation.

Yazawa Shinichi shook his head helplessly, turned around and looked at a Japanese officer behind him wearing a black non-reflective helmet. Although the officer's face was also full of exhaustion, he stood upright all the time.

"Major Urakami, it's up to you to solve the current predicament. I don't care what method you use, you must confuse the entire city defense force before dawn. It is best to disable the rebel command organization and create an opportunity for the imperial army to attack. Opportunity. When you succeed, it will be marked with a red signal flare!"

"Yes!" The officer nodded, "Your Excellency, my soldiers are resting. Give us half an hour to start. But we need [-] sets of rebel uniforms!"

Yuan Jianfeng quickly replied: "This is no problem, leave it to me to handle, and I will definitely hand over the uniform to Your Excellency in 10 minutes!"

Yazawa Shinichi bowed his head solemnly, "Urakami-kun, please take care of everything!"

Li Shiqun supported Xia Zhiping, and led the crowd to retreat to the city defense headquarters in Wuxi, and then relaxed.Xie Yunchao and Huang Jingzhai ordered people to prepare food, tea and a change of clothes, and called everyone to take a rest as soon as possible.

After finally watching Li Shiqun finish scrubbing and eating some food, Xie Yunchao and Huang Jingzhai approached worriedly, "Director, what do you think of the current plan...?"

"How's the morale of the troops?" Li Shiqun asked back.

"I can still persist, but it is not easy to regain the entire control of Wuxi!" Although Xie Yunchao hesitated, he still spoke his mind.
