On November 18, after several days of fierce fighting,

The Japanese artillery shells were still falling like raindrops, blowing up the national troops fighting with them and leaving corpses all over the field.

The Japanese army also successfully broke through the Wufu line positions north of Changshu, Lijiaqiao, and the west bank of Nankuncheng Lake south of Changshu.

Then they are also advancing towards the rear strongholds of the Wu-Fu Line such as Lushan and Mocheng Town.

The main force of the national army in Suzhou was also in defeat, and was withdrawing towards the west with low morale.

As for the main force of the Japanese 10th Army, under the command of Army Lieutenant General Taira Yanagawa, the commander of the 10th Army, the army gathered in the Jiaxing area and prepared to launch a general offensive. Jiaxing was in danger for a while.

In addition, the Ninth Division of the Songhu Expedition Army, also under the command of the division commander Army Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, surrounded the entire Suzhou and was about to fully occupy Suzhou.

As for the Japanese 11th Division, it was also under the command of the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamabaso Munetake, and the chief of staff, Katamura Forty-Eight Colonel, that they arrived at Mocheng and dispatched the Hanagoya detachment as the vanguard force to attack the city.

Then the 16th Division, also under the command of the division commander, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imago, was about to fully occupy the entire Changshu. At the same time, almost 30 Japanese warships successfully landed in Fushan.

...

...

At this time, the Japanese Sixth Division also arrived in the Guangde area and joined forces with the Japanese 114th Division.

However, the division commander of the 114th Division, Army Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, quickly separated with his troops and continued to advance towards his new destination.

Because he felt that he had a different temperament with Hisao Tani, the commander of the Japanese Sixth Division, and he also felt that there was no need to concentrate the forces of two divisions to attack the small Guangde.

It's really overkill.

Of course, the commander of the Sixth Division, Hisao Tani, who had the same idea as him, was also very willing to fight separately from the other side. He was also worried that the other side would take advantage of his troops and reap the benefits.

"Baga!"

"Well done! Otherwise I would be worried that he would come and steal my record and credit!"

Hisao Tani, the commander of the Japanese Sixth Division, was standing on a commanding height and looking forward with a telescope in his hand.

When he saw Army Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, completely out of his sight with his troops, he couldn't help but smile happily.

Hisao Tani, an old Japanese soldier, is almost sixty years old and is old and frail, but he seems to be in high spirits at this time. It is obvious that his spirit is in an extremely excited state.

Because when his troops could reach Guangde so quickly and get closer and closer to the outer front of Beijing, the capital of the national army, the old Japanese Hisao Tani became more and more excited and ambitious.

"Do you think we can fully occupy this little Guangde tonight?"

"Sato-kun!"

Standing next to Hisao Tani is Genta Sato, the new chief of staff of the Sixth Division.

"That's for sure. According to our intelligence, all the Chinese troops who are holding on here are almost gone. Even if there are still a small number of Chinese troops left who are fighting to the death and are using their arms as chariots to resist us, their morale is also disorganized!

With low morale, they are no match for our Imperial Army!"

"I'm afraid our tank group charge can scare the courage out of those Chinese troops!"

Genta Sato, the new chief of staff of the Sixth Division, was in a cheerful mood and said with a bright and confident smile.

"Sigh!"

"You are absolutely right!"

"Then give me the order to go down. Before tonight, I must fully occupy this small town of the Chinese Army. I want to take a good rest here to reorganize our troops!"

"Then we speed up our pace and kill towards the capital of the China Army. We must become the first imperial army to attack the capital of the China Army. If we complete the mission, I will definitely reward everyone!"

"For the glory of our Sixth Division, let me capture the city as soon as possible and let all the Chinese troops who resist us see clearly that we are the most powerful force. We are not comparable to the stupid Chinese army with their backward weapons and equipment!

"

Regarding the reply from the new Chief of Staff Genta Sato, the division commander Hisao Tani still held a telescope to observe the enemy's situation while laughing ferociously and responded.

"Hai!"

"Don't worry! Your Excellency, Division Commander!"

"I must have our troops fully stationed in Guangde before the sun sets, so that our troops can get the best rest and recuperation, and then the whole army will advance to the capital of the China Army. I must become the first imperial army to capture the capital of the China Army!

"

"The final victory will definitely belong to our Sixth Division!"

The new chief of staff Genta Sato quickly agreed.

...

...

"Hahahaha! That's of course!"

"Our Sixth Division is the most powerful force among all the Imperial Army's troops! No one else!"

Hearing this, the division commander Hisao Tani was very satisfied with the performance and agreement of the new chief of staff Genta Sato, and laughed heartily.

"Hai!"

The new chief of staff Genta Sato nodded respectfully and bowed again in response.

...

...

At this moment, the National Army troops holding firm in Guangde are actually the National Army's 11th Division and the National Army's 109th Division, as well as some Sichuan Army troops.

"What a bloody Japs! We finally evacuated here from the Wu Fu frontline position. We originally wanted to take a rest and replenish our troops, but we were overtaken by these damn Japs troops so quickly!"

"And a division of troops came all of a sudden!"

"Is this how these stupid devils are targeting us?"

After discovering that his troops and the troops of the 109th Division of the National Army were surrounded by the Japanese Sixth Division, Deputy Commander Hu of the 11th Division of the National Army suddenly became extremely frustrated and vomited.

"This is called luck!"

"It seems that this time we are really going to be completely destroyed here!"

"Unless there is a miracle like last time and the mysterious planes appear again to bomb the Japanese troops and let us fight a bloody way out, then we also think there is still a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, with the few remaining soldiers we have now

Defeated generals are simply not enough for a Japanese division like this to squeeze through their teeth and come to kill them!"

"I'm afraid that if the Japanese tank group charges, the already demoralized troops on our side will directly turn into defeated troops and flee in all directions!"

After hearing the negative remarks made by Deputy Commander Hu of the 11th National Army Division, Commander Niu, the commander of the 109th Division, also responded with an extremely depressed mood.

"What a bloody devil! Even if my whole army is wiped out here today, I will kill a whole regiment of him and bury him with us!"

"Our 11th Division is not a coward!"

"Even if we fight to the last soldier, we must continue to kill the Japanese!"

After Commander Niu, the commander of the 109th Division, spoke more negatively than himself, Deputy Commander Hu of the 11th National Army Division suddenly became heartbroken and prepared to fight the Japanese army in a desperate counterattack.

"Then I will accompany you to kill the Japanese once!"

"Anyway, after eighteen years, he is a good man again!"

Seeing this, Commander Niu, the commander of the 109th Division, also made up his mind and responded with determination to fight to the end.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them immediately mobilized their troops and prepared to fight to the death with the Japanese army.
