The commander of the command headquarters of the Ninth Wing of the Wuxi frontline position, Katagiri Goro Osa, was looking at the military map, about ten kilometers away from the main position of the Ninth Wing was Taihu Village, Katagiri Goro Ozuo thought, the sixth infantry squad in charge of reconnaissance should have news soon.

Speaking of this, the Ninth Wing is famous in the army of little devils, and the Ninth Wing is subordinate to the 16th Division and the 19th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The 16th Division is not simple, the 16th Division is a division of the old Imperial Japanese Army, codenamed "Heng". In the Russo-Japanese War, it was formed in Kyoto on July 18, 1905 as a reserve force, and its headquarters was located in Kyoto, and the officers and soldiers were mainly from Kyoto, Mie Prefecture and Nara Prefecture, so it was also called the "Kyoto Division". In the year of its formation, it was sent to Manchuria to participate in the Russo-Japanese War. It was not until 5 September that the Portsmouth Peace Treaty was signed. After the war, it became one of Japan's 17 standing divisions, and was stationed in Manchuria twice in 1919 and 1929-1934. In 1935, during the heavy rain in Kyoto, Japan, he participated in the rescue activities.

Since the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Japan has begun a full-scale war of aggression against China. To this end, Japan mobilized for the war and began to recruit a large number of soldiers, and the 16th Division, which was a first-class division, expanded from 18,000 in peacetime to about 25,000 in wartime. In September 1937, the 16th Division landed at Tanggu Port in Tianjin and was incorporated into the battle sequence of the Second Army of the Japanese North China Front. Subsequently, he participated in battles in areas such as the Ziya River. The defeat of Wan Fulin's 53rd Army of the Northeast Army caused the flank of the Chinese army's position in the direction of Baoding to be exposed and collapsed. At the end of October 1937, the 16th Division was incorporated into the battle sequence of the Shanghai Dispatch Army and transferred from North China to Shanghai.

At this time, the 16th Division, with Lieutenant General Nakajima Imago as the division commander, and Nakazawa Mitsuo Daisa as the chief of staff, was under the jurisdiction of:

The 19th Infantry Brigade, the brigade commander is Major General Kusaba Tatsuya (under the jurisdiction of the 9th Infantry Wing, the wing commander is Katagiri Goro Osa, the 20th Infantry Wing, the wing commander is Ono Nobuaki Osa);

The 30th Infantry Brigade, the brigade commander is Major General Sasaki to Ichi (under the jurisdiction of the 33rd Infantry Wing, the wing leader is Kengo Noda, the 38th Infantry Wing, the wing leader is Sukegawa Shizuji Osa);

The Twentieth Cavalry Wing, led by Toshimatsu Kasai;

The 22nd Wing of the Field Artillery, the captain of the wing is Mikuni Naofuku Daisa;

The 16th Engineer Wing, the captain of which is now Takeshi Daisa;

The 16th Wing of the Heavy Army, the captain of the wing is Tozawa Nakasa.

Signal Corps Health Corps: 1st to 4th Field Hospitals.

The 9th Infantry Regiment was one of the 16th Divisions, and the Japanese had already occupied Shanghai, so Matsui Ishone, then commander of the Central China Front, ordered the division to pursue the Chinese troops retreating from Shanghai to Nanjing. The 16th Division, under the leadership of Nakajima Imago, successively captured Changshu, Suzhou, and Wuxi. Prepare to capture Wuxi City in one fell swoop

Katagiri Goro Osa received information that a few kilometers north of Taihu Village, there was a Kuomintang garrison army arranging fortifications, this army may be the strength of a regiment, and the defenders of this regiment are a target of Katagiri Goro Osa, as the infantry wing of the A Division, Katagiri Goro Osaku is confident that it will sweep at least three divisions of the Shina army. In the face of the defenders of this regiment, Katagiri Goro always felt that with a knife, one of his advance teams could defeat the defenders of this regiment and completely annihilate the defenders of this regiment. Katagiri Goro is not the kind of person who is brave and unscrupulous, so he sent a reinforced team to reconnoiter on the periphery, after all, the imperial army has just arrived here, and he is not familiar with it here, and if he is ambushed by this branch army, the gains will outweigh the losses. This advance team, after going around around Taihu Village and making no major discoveries, entered Taihu Village and began to burn and loot. In the end, they were encountered by Ye Hang and others, and it was a complete tragedy, and the entire team went to report to their Anamesu.

Katagiri Goro was still secretly proud in his own command at this time, and in Katagiri Goro's heart, the Chinese army was not able to be unified, and only the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army were invincible and invincible. Maybe one of his own reinforcement teams annihilated the army of China, Katagiri Goro Osa was a little excited and excited when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but say involuntarily: "Yo Xi." ”

"Report!" A little devil lieutenant strode in, stood upright, bent down and saluted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander! The infantry advance squad lost contact half an hour earlier. ”

Hearing this, Katagiri Goro's face changed greatly.

Now, China and Japan are at war, and at this time they lost contact and were basically annihilated by the Chinese army.

The infantry advance squad is a reinforced squad, a full seventy people, how could the defenders of Shina destroy such a squad, and Katagiri Gorou couldn't figure out how his reinforced squad could be annihilated by the defenders of Shina? Unless he was ambushed, this was impossible, because he had fought with the defenders of Wuxi, and although the resistance was stubborn, he was not the opponent of the imperial army, mainly because the weapons of the Chinese army were too poor. Could it be that it wasn't the Wuxi defenders of China who annihilated one of their own reinforced squads? This is also impossible, I have not received information that there are troops supporting Wuxi City! Could it be that the main forces of the defenders of Shina are all dispatched," Katagiri Goro Osa had already roughly guessed, "Yo Xi, it's a little interesting!" Is that challenging? It's finally time to go on a killing spree!! Haha......" Katagiri Goro's eyes flashed, and he immediately ordered: "Send a squadron to search around Taihu Village quickly, and report as soon as there is news." ”

"Hey!" The little devil second lieutenant bowed his head and bent over, and hurriedly walked out of the headquarters to convey the order of Katagiri Goro Osa.

The 9th Infantry Wing is a 3,800-man infantry wing, including a 54-man command; a transport convoy of 121 men (carts and mules), carrying a day's rations for the wing headquarters and the brigades directly under it, as well as a field kitchen that may be attached to the wing; An 81-man ammunition platoon carries a day's worth of ammunition.

The 9th Infantry Wing has three infantry brigades, a squadron of artillery (four mountain guns), a squadron of infantry guns (four infantry guns), and a squadron of rapid-fire guns (four 37mm rapid-fire guns).

With such equipment and strong combat effectiveness, Katagiri Goro Dazuo believes that his wing will definitely capture Wuxi City, and guarantees that he can complete the task assigned to him by the division commander, and he can continue to attack the city of China.

When Ye Hang left here with the girls less than an hour later, a little devil Shaozuo hurriedly rushed to Taihu Village with nearly two hundred little devils.

At this time, Taihu Village was empty, only seventy corpses, looking at the corpses of the little devil all over the ground, this little devil Shaozuo shouted angrily: "Baga ......"

At this time, Ye Hang took the women to Taihu Village, about five or six kilometers away, where the terrain is flat, the river network is dense, and the thatch and reeds that are one person high are one by one, and Ye Hang and the others are resting.

The choice of such a terrain for rest is mainly due to the fact that it is necessary to get rid of the tracking of the little devils, the river network here can well isolate the smell, and the little devils don't want to catch up with Ye Hang even if they have military dogs.

Looking at the sky, Ye Feng immediately instructed everyone, don't act rashly, do a good job of concealment, the enemy situation in this area is more complicated, a road two or three kilometers away, from time to time a large group of little devils pass by.

In the distance, there was also a dense sound of gunfire, and it seemed that in the distance was a battlefield of battle between China and Japan, looking at the scale, at least thousands of people were fighting fiercely.

Ran, Pandora, and Night Rose stood on guard, and the rest of the women found a place to rest. Ye Hang lay on the thatch and looked at the sky. Get out in a daze.
