Agents of the Republic of China

Urakami took the lead and ran into the yard, the automatic rifle in his hand flashed frequently, and he knocked down several of the black-shirted soldiers brought by Xie Yunchao.Xie Yunchao didn't expect the Japanese to come so fast, so he stopped talking to Li Shiqun, set up Li Shiqun and Xia Zhiping, and rushed out. Huang Jingzhai was not so lucky. He even lost the glasses on his nose, so Xia Haoming picked them up and rushed to catch up with Li Shiqun and the others.

The quality of the soldiers is reflected at this time.The individual quality of the soldiers of the Qingxiang Army is obviously inferior to that of the Japanese Army. Under the sudden attack, they were caught off guard and became confused in an instant. Very few soldiers participated in the counterattack. Fleeing like frightened prey.On the contrary, the men and horses of the black shirt army organized a decent counterattack, but there were not many of them. Facing the two assaults of [-] Japanese troops, they gradually became overwhelmed.

Li Shiqun, Xie Yunchao and others wanted to retreat through the back door, but when they reached the back door, they found that the back path had been cut off by the Japanese. Several Japanese soldiers were lying on the high wall, with automatic rifles blocking all the retreat paths.Li Shiqun and the others rushed once, but only left a pile of corpses.

Xie Yunchao couldn't help panicking. Looking at the number of people around him, there were only about 20 people left, but the rescue force outside was firmly held back by the Japanese army. The headquarters was originally a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. , is helpless.

Xia Haoming didn't discuss with Li Shiqun, Xie Yunchao and others, and reached out to snatch a semi-automatic rifle from a Qingxiang soldier, but the Japanese attack behind him made it impossible for him to aim seriously.Xie Yunchao braced himself and led the soldiers forward to resist Urakami's attack and cover Xia Haoming's back. Only then could Xia Haoming concentrate on aiming at the Japanese soldiers on the wall.

With two crisp and precise bursts, two Japanese soldiers fell from the wall in response.But the remaining three soldiers became alert and threw a few grenades into the yard, and then the smoke from the grenade explosion moved their positions.

This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Li Shiqun and others. Xia Haoming didn't care so much, he just pulled Li Shiqun and ran to the back door, but he didn't care about Xia Zhiping behind him. In his opinion, as long as Li Shiqun's safety can be guaranteed ,that's enough.

Xia Zhiping exclaimed, and ran out right after Li Shiqun, while Xie Yunchao and others struggled to support behind.

Xia Haoming pulled Li Shiqun forward, and Li Shiqun wanted to break free, but Xia Haoming's palms were like iron hoops, so he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to remind him loudly, "Zhiping, follow me closely, don't fall behind !"

Xia Zhiping was about to cry, but the tense atmosphere never let the tears fall. After all, the woman's speed was still a beat slower. Just when Kankan was about to run to the back door, the Japanese who had been removed from the wall earlier The soldiers had already gained a firm foothold under the big tree not far from the outer wall, turned around and started shooting, Xia Zhiping's banner ran into their sight.

After a gunshot, Xia Zhiping stood there blankly as if struck by lightning. Even Li Shiqun was frightened by the gunshot. When he turned around and looked, he broke out in a cold sweat, "Zhiping!" , got rid of Xia Haoming's control, turned around and ran back.

Xia Zhiping suddenly felt numbness in her lower abdomen, followed by weakness in her legs. She looked at her lower abdomen for no reason, but saw a mass of red constantly expanding. Xia Zhiping's brain suddenly went numb, "I Got shot?"

Li Shiqun rushed over quickly, and held Xia Zhiping in his arms, but pressed her wound tightly with one hand, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small injury, we have military doctors, and we will definitely cure you!" Li Shiqun There was nothing else in his eyes, and he kept comforting Xia Zhiping softly.

Xia Haoming stomped his feet, threw away the rifle in his hand, pulled out two pistols from his waist, and shot backwards at the Japanese soldiers who were shooting. Strain into a sieve.

Xie Yunchao and Huang Jingzhai also hurriedly approached Li Shiqun, but the more than 20 submachine guns of Urakami and others never stopped. Huang Jingzhai was shot in the back one after another during the retreat process, "Shiqun...!"

With a big mouthful of fresh blood overflowing from the corner of Huang Jingzhai's mouth, he stared at Li Shiqun with wide eyes, and fell to the ground instead.

"Jing Zhai!" Li Shiqun was heartbroken, and wanted to go back to save Huang Jingzhai, but was held tightly by Xia Haoming and Xie Yunchao.

"Brother! Wuxi can't hold on anymore, we still have the territory of Zhejiang, so we don't have to worry about no firewood if we keep the green hills!" Xie Yunchao persuaded.

They carried Xia Zhiping on their backs, dragged Li Shiqun and walked out, leaving more than a dozen black-shirted soldiers behind to resist desperately.

……

The black smoke from the command headquarters shot straight into the sky, all communications were cut off, and the Qingxiang troops in Wuxi City were in chaos.

Yamada Kaiji, Yazawa Shinichi and others were overjoyed, and immediately launched a counterattack. The defense line of Qingxiang troops only made a symbolic resistance, and then collapsed.

The second army of Yamada Kai entered the city of Wuxi, sent troops to guard the main roads, and strictly investigated the whereabouts of Li Shiqun and others. The main force of the 3000 Qingxiang troops guarding the city killed and injured nearly 5000 people in the battle, and about [-] remnants marched towards Zhejiang The direction retreated, and the rest were all captured.However, the losses of the Japanese army were also unprecedented. The [-]-man army has lost more than [-] men so far, and the combat power has been seriously depleted.

Urakami failed to pursue Li Shiqun, so he came back to report to Yazawa Shinichi.Li Shiqun's confidant Huang Jingzhai was killed in the melee.During the retreat, Li Shiqun gathered about 300 remnants and retreated towards Hangzhou.When it was said that a woman next to Li Shiqun was shot and injured, Yuan Jianfeng's expression changed.

Yazawa Shinichi also got the news that Tang Shengming's imperial association army and local security forces had also successfully entered the city. He heard that people had been sent to chase after the retreating defeated army. Even Lin Xiaotang had already led his men to chase after Li Shiqun's whereabouts.

Yazawa Shinichi hastily ordered: "Uragami-kun, Yuan-jun, you and the Jiecao special forces will follow me immediately, and Li Shiqun must not be allowed to take the opportunity to escape."

The brigade suffered heavy losses, and Yamada Yuji was full of complaints, and he had no enthusiasm for continuing to pursue it. He just dispatched a motorized infantry squadron to be dispatched by Yazawa Shinichi, and he didn't care about anything else.

At this time, Lin Xiaotang had also received the news about Li Shiqun's withdrawal from Wuxi City.The [-] self-proclaimed elite troops did not retreat in less than two days, the speed was beyond Lin Xiaotang's expectation.

In any case, the strategic objectives initially formulated were achieved.Using night raids, the Wuxi garrison and the Japanese army had a frontal conflict to consume the Japanese army's strength. This was accomplished very beautifully under the influence of the right time, place and people.But it is a pity that Li Shiqun failed to stay in Wuxi.With Li Shiqun around, his power has no backbone, and it will still have a considerable impact on the grand plan to pacify Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Moreover, there was another new situation that made Lin Xiaotang very uneasy.It's about that Japanese special operations unit that popped up out of nowhere.As far as Lin Xiaotang knows, in order to save resources, the Japanese Army generally seldom equips grassroots combat units with automatic weapons. When the German Army began to prepare for the establishment of special forces, the Japanese once selected elite officers to study in Germany, but due to different ideas Due to cultural differences, these officers were later assigned to the Army's general field divisions, and they have never heard of Japanese special operations since then.The appearance of this army today reminded Lin Xiaotang of the Japanese army that he encountered in Tianmu Mountain that day. According to his subordinates, this army is very similar to that army, maybe it is a part of that army.

The appearance of such an army under the command of Yazawa Shinichi made Lin Xiaotang feel lingering fear.Lin Xiaotang's original intention was to use this opportunity to wipe out Li Shiqun and Yazawa Shin one by one, and to create the illusion that the two would fight each other and end up together. But now it seems that the addition of this troop has greatly increased the difficulty of the plan .

Last night, Lin Xiaotang received news from Shanghai.Under the operation of Shang Zhensheng and Li Rentao, Scarlett also assisted after obtaining the most wanted Declan information, and finally eliminated the unstable factor of Nan Zao Yunzi.Lin Xiaotang took great pains to set up this game. Nanzo Yunzi is a student of Kenji Doihara. Killing her blatantly will always cause unnecessary troubles. Therefore, Lin Xiaotang boldly made this plan. The Americans hooked up with the Italians and dragged them into the water, creating a situation where Nan Zao Yunzi tracked down Italian spies and was later killed, leading Japan and Italy to start hostile and fighting in the intelligence world.Lin Xiaotang can not only get rid of the suspicion of killing Nan Zao Yunzi, but also take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Of course, through Wanquan, Lin Xiaotang also learned about one of the things, that is, Wang Xianqing reappeared and defected to Li Shiqun's command, becoming the plenipotentiary representative of Li Shiqun negotiating with the Americans.Moreover, it seems that he also has some kind of underground deal with Scarlett.Wanquan has not found out the exact time and content, but I believe it will be clear soon.

The key now is to deal with Li Shiqun, a hot potato. If he wants to take the actual dominance in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he must be dealt with. But the headache is that this man is as cunning as a fox, and he brings Xia Zhiping by his side, which makes Lin Xiaotang a little wary.

But no matter what, what should be done must still be done. Lin Xiaotang and Tang Shengming decided on the next policy after a brief summation.After the Japanese army suffered huge losses, they were no longer able to attack Zhejiang, and the next initiative was firmly in the hands of Tang Shengming and Lin Xiaotang.Taking advantage of the critical moment of Li Shiqun's new defeat, Tang Shengming immediately led his army to the south and directed his troops towards Hangzhou, which was Li Shiqun's lair. Once Hangzhou was conquered, Zhejiang would be within reach.

What Lin Xiaotang has to do is to intercept and kill Li Shiqun along the way, and at worst, prevent him from returning to Hangzhou to take charge of the overall situation. I believe that Yazawa Shinichi and the others will quickly see the current situation clearly and attack decisively. It was a fiercer battle!
