Chapter 147: The Bloody Battle of Suzhou

When night fell, a large number of pursuing troops of the 11th, 13th and Chongteng detachments of the Japanese Eastern Front arrived at Suzhou City, and the 16th Division belonging to the East Road landed in the Baimaokou and Taicang areas of Jiangsu and attacked the Changshu line from the north of Suzhou City.

Due to the disorderly retreat of the Chinese army and the fierce pursuit of the Japanese troops, the Japanese encountered only slight resistance at the city of Suzhou, and then captured this important town south of the Yangtze River.

In order to compete for this historic moment of glory, all units of the Japanese army rushed to the direction of Nanjing, and after the capture of Suzhou, its main force did not stay too much, but along the Beijing-Shanghai railway highway to the next city Wuxi.

The black smoke of Suzhou City under the night is billowing out, which is mixed with sporadic gunshots, although the main force of the Japanese army crossed Suzhou and rushed to Nanjing, but still a large number of devil soldiers stayed here for the night, there are fierce fighting gunshots from time to time in the west of the city and outside the city, that is the stragglers of the Chinese defenders fighting with the devil soldiers of the Qingsu city.

In a two-story dilapidated building in the west of Suzhou City, more than 300 soldiers led by Yang Ling were hiding here, the devil soldiers came too quickly, they wanted to fight a few more battles and then retreat, but now they are trapped in the city.

From time to time, there were patrols of devils with torches running out of the streets, and the heavy leather boots made the streets tremble, and the dark streets and alleys flashed cold light from time to time, reflecting the discarded bedding and debris on the streets.

Screams and shrill voices were heard in the distance, houses were set on fire, flames were rising, and they began to hunt down the rout of the Chinese army in the city, and many of the people who remained in the city were also killed, and they were driven to the cold, damp streets and walked towards the square.

As soon as the patrol of the devil soldiers passed, a hunched black shadow came out of the wet alley and snorted straight towards the two-story building where Yang Ling and they were hiding.

The soldier in charge of the guard on the periphery said that Jiao Chaoming let him in, and in the basement of the small building, he saw Yang Ling, who was holding a meeting with several platoon commanders.

"Company commander, the situation has been figured out, the people of the 87th Division who are trapped in the building on the north side, it seems that there are some stragglers from other units, the devils have surrounded that side to death, and now they are attacking fiercely, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive tonight."

"Okay, I see." Yang Ling waved his hand at Jiao Chaoming and asked him to retreat.

"The situation is clear, and it's our own brothers over there, I mean save them, what do you think?" Yang Ling's gaze swept over the dusty platoon commanders and asked.

Liu Yidao opened his mouth angrily: "The grandsons of the 87th Division have been blowing up bridges and roads all the way, the scorched earth policy, many brothers who ran slowly were cut off and beaten to death by the devils, in my opinion, there is no need to save them, they have done too much evil, and they deserve to die-"

"Although they have gone too far, we are still our own people after all, and we can't watch them be destroyed by the devil."

The scar on Wu Jiang's face was particularly hideous under the dim horse lamp, and he said a fair word for the people of the 87th Division.

"They rely on the Central Army, and they don't treat our provincial troops as people on weekdays, even if they go to save them, they have to let them suffer in the hands of little devils, so that they dare to look at the sky and look down on people in the future."

Listening to the complaints of several platoon commanders under his command, his words were sour, and he sighed in his heart, the contradictions between the central army and the armies of the provinces have been a long time, and although they are fighting side by side now, the armies of the provinces are paid for national hardship, while the central army is fully paid, plus what they do on weekdays, it is normal for them to have grievances in their hearts.

Although Yang Ling knew that his brothers were dissatisfied with the Central Army, he still decided to save it, the contradiction between the provincial army and the Central Army was a contradiction between brothers in a family, and he couldn't watch these brothers who fought bloodily die in the hands of the devil soldiers.

"Okay, now that the national disaster is at hand, let's put aside the previous grievances, now what we need is to unite with the outside world, and the devil is our enemy......"

After Yang Ling finished speaking, although Liu Yidao was still angry, he still agreed to save those brothers who were surrounded by devils.

Soon, Yang Lingfu took dozens of brothers who had changed into devil uniforms out of the hiding house, walked out of the street, and headed towards the war zone in the north of the city.

The devil military uniform that Yang Ling and they wore was pulled down from the annihilated devil, and the original purpose was to keep it for breaking through, but now it came in handy, although the clothes were bloodstained and full of bullet holes, but in this dark night, it was no different from other devils.

The city is full of groups of ghost soldiers, like ghosts wandering in the night, jumping into the streets, looting and killing unscrupulously, and cold corpses can be seen on the streets from time to time, those are the people who were killed by the ghost soldiers.

These people are unwilling to abandon their family business and stay here, but they underestimate the brutality of the devil soldiers, and now not only have their family business not been saved, but even their lives have been lost.

Seeing the scenes on the street, the brothers behind Yang Ling were all clenched into fists with their hands, their faces full of anger, but at this moment they did not dare to act rashly.

Since they were wearing the uniforms of the devil soldiers, the devil soldiers roaming the streets did not have any suspicion of them.

After all, the city has been captured, and there are no formed Chinese defenders except for the stragglers of the Chinese army, and the vigilance of the devil soldiers has been reduced a lot, and their target is now the building in the north of the city.

Hundreds of filthy devil soldiers surrounded a three-story building, and the devil soldiers lying behind cover and debris were shooting with their guns raised, and they launched several charges and were repulsed.

In the muddy water at the front of the building lay the corpses of several ghost soldiers, all of whom had been left behind during the charge.

Boom -- The devils brought in Type 92 infantry guns and small steel cannons to bombard the building, and the broken bricks and tiles kicked off by the explosion flew in all directions, and the air was filled with choking gunsmoke

"Kill, reform, change, change-" Before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, a devil officer's saber pressed forward, and the black devil had already surged up like a tide.

Bang bang - the windows of the building, the roof of the building also resounded a dense burst of gunfire, bullets dragged and dragged in the dark of the night in all directions, hitting the ground with a pop, a lot of rotten wood was smashed by the raging bullets.

The devil soldiers who rushed forward first were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest, and the devils were pressed in front of the building, unable to advance or retreat.

"Password!" On the periphery of the devil soldiers, several devil soldiers who were in charge of battlefield vigilance saw a group of filthy friendly soldiers swaggering from the streets, and immediately shouted and asked.

"What are the devils talking about?" Qin Shou stabbed Liu Yidao beside him with his finger and asked in a low voice.

Liu Yidao replied angrily: "You ask Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu asks who to go."

Yang Ling heard the ghost soldier shouting, and immediately secretly screamed badly, although they put on makeup and wore the clothes of the ghost soldier, but no one was Japanese, he also immediately broke off, his footsteps did not stop, and he strode towards the ghost soldier, gesturing with both hands, trying to explain something.

Several ghost soldiers in charge of vigilance saw Yang Ling and they did not reply to the order, but approached quickly, although Yang Ling walked in front of them and gestured something, but they were still vigilant, and pulled the bolt of the gun in a hurry, ready to drink Yang Ling and them.

"Kill them!" Yang Ling saw the devil soldier pull the bolt, his face suddenly turned cold, and he stepped forward and kicked the 38 rifle in the hand of a ghost soldier, and the bayonet in his hand slashed through the neck of the devil soldier.

A thin red line appeared on the neck of the devil soldier, which gradually expanded, turning into red marks, and the major arteries were directly severed, and finally spurted out viscous blood, and he fell to the ground on his back in pain before he could scream.

Several other devil soldiers were also thrown into the wet street by the soldiers who pounced on them, making a loud popping sound, and were killed one after another.

The corpse of the devil soldier was dragged to the courtyard next to it, and Yang Ling and his group of dozens of people also dodged into the courtyard and climbed onto the roof.
