Chapter 140: The situation is critical
"Kill, kill, kill," Zhang Xinghan led more than 200 suicide squadrons to roar and collided head-on with a Japanese who came to reinforce. The size of this Japanese army was about one squadron.
The Japanese received a death order from their superiors to encircle and annihilate Zhang Xinghan and the suicide squad members, and the suicide squad was determined to die. Therefore, the two sides were like water and fire, and a fierce battle broke out as soon as they came into contact.
Not far away, more Japanese troops were coming here. In order to wipe out the sneak attack troops, the old Japanese devil Nakajima, Akago Nakajima, even sent his guards, which shows how angry he was about the attack on the artillery position, and the situation was extremely urgent.
Zhang Xinghan held the steel knife tightly, and the blue veins on his arm suddenly roared, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep and slashing into the Japanese crowd. An iron sword slashed horizontally and vertically. The Japanese who stood in front of him howled and fell to the ground, with no enemy under his command.
Zhang Xinghan's bravery, and there is always a wide figure following behind Zhang Xinghan. No matter how far Zhang Xinghan rushes, he almost follows Zhang Xinghan in a desperate battle. He is extremely brave.
This person is Wang Tiekui, a guard promoted by Zhang Xinghan a few days ago. Wang Tiekui held a big sword in his hands, widened his eyes wide, and protected both sides behind Zhang Xinghan. Any Japanese who wanted to sneak attack Zhang Xinghan from behind would be killed by him before he could get close.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers were obviously unable to stop the suicide squad led by Zhang Xinghan. After a fight, Zhang Xinghan and most of the officers and soldiers broke through the Japanese. Looking back, dozens of soldiers were still entangled by Japanese and failed to rush out.
Seeing that Zhang Xinghan wanted to bring people back to the rescue, a captain officer roared angrily: "Royal rank, don't worry about the evacuation quickly, our Zhongrui regiment can be without me, Hu Hansan, and you can't leave quickly without the squad."
Seeing the sound of killing in the distance, Zhang Xinghan's eyes flashed with a trace of determination, and he roared coldly: "Attack and rush out"
The remaining nearly two hundred soldiers immediately followed Zhang Xinghan and rushed forward.
Dozens of soldiers surrounded by the Japanese fought and retreated under Hu Hansan's leadership, and rushed in the opposite direction. His purpose was very clear, which was to attract the Japanese's attention.
Although the group of Japanese soldiers knew that most of them had escaped, they did not pursue them because they knew that there was their large army behind them. Therefore, the Japanese squadron leader waved his sword and more than a hundred Japanese soldiers began to surround and kill Hu Hansan's troops with all their strength.

Two hours ago, Kunshan, Lujia Town.
The 66th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade of the 11th Division of the National Army was ordered to station in Lujia Town to block the Japanese pursuers pursuing from Shanghai.
While the Central Rui Regiment was struggling to defend Taicang, the main divisions of the Central Army, including the 88th, 36th, 87th and 11th who retreated from Shanghai, were ordered to deploy defenses from Kunshan to Suzhou, block the Japanese army, and cover the retreat of other main forces.
Hu Lian's 66th Regiment has also been fighting fire for several days with the 13th Infantry Regiment and the Division's direct artillery corps in Lujia Town and part of the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.
Over the past few days, the officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment fought bravely under the command of Hu Lian, and successively repelled the attacks of the 13th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army. The position was as strong as Mount Tai. At this time, Hu Lian had already shown his edge and showed his style as a tactical master. With more than two thousand remaining soldiers, he blocked an elite Japanese army's attack for several days, causing Colonel Okamoto, the captain of the 13th Infantry Regiment, to suffer a lot.
In the 66th Regiment headquarters, Hu Lian was conceiving the next combat plan around the combat map. Suddenly, a sound of footsteps sounded. Hu Lian looked up and saw a communication soldier god hurried in.
Before Hu Lian asked, the communications soldier stood up and reported: "The regiment seat, the division headquarters ordered that our regiment had completed the task of blocking the enemy. The division headquarters ordered us to break through immediately according to the original route."
"Well, I understand, you go down." Hu Lian waved his hand expressionlessly.
"Yes" the communication soldier stepped forward and saluted, then turned around and left.
After staring at the map for a while, Hu Lian tapped Taicang on the map with his hand, then turned around and ordered: "Guards, I will send me an order, and the battalions alternately cover the withdrawal position and retreat in the direction of Taicang."
"Yes" the guards outside the gate agreed and immediately took the order and left.
It turned out that when Peng Shan, the commander of the 11th Division, learned that Zhang Xinghan led the Zhongrui Regiment to defend Taicang City alone, he wanted to help. However, because the Japanese army was coming in front of him, under pressure, he had to order the entire division to resist with all his strength. However, when he was formulating the retreat route, he chose to retreat from Taicang from Hu Lian's 66th Regiment in order to help Zhang Xinghan with one arm.
How could Hu Lian, who had a tactical vision, not be able to see the profound meaning of the division commander Peng Shan formulating this retreat route for himself? He himself admired Zhang Xinghan very much, so he implemented the military order without hesitation.
At night, Lujia Town seemed particularly quiet. After receiving the order, more than 1,000 surviving officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment quietly withdrew from their positions one by one, and then led by the regiment commander Hu Lian to head straight to Taicang County, which was only a few dozen miles apart.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Outside Taicang County, more than 100 suicide squads led by Zhang Xinghan encountered the main force of the 38th Infantry Regiment who had arrived after hearing the news.
The two sides immediately launched a bloody battle. At the same time, dozens of soldiers led by Hu Hansan were surrounded by the Japanese. After a bloody battle, Hu Hansan and the soldiers finally died in battle because they were outnumbered and none of them surrendered.
On a slope less than 200 meters away from the battle between the two sides, the captain of the 38th Infantry Regiment, the three Colonel Susun Kawashiwa watched the crowd fighting with a cold expression.
"Damn Chinese, I will destroy you all this time," Suzukawa Shizumi snorted coldly.
"Captain of the corps, the fifth squadron of the third squadron has repelled the Chinese troops in Taicang City that were trying to reinforce. These Chinese troops are already in a jar, and they are hard to fly." A major officer walked over with a saber in his arms and reported to Shizumi Susukawa.
"Yoxi, Koizumi, send the order down, the Second Battalion will do its best to kill this group of Chinese troops, and you must not let anyone go." Susukawa Shizumi nodded proudly. It turned out that when he learned that an army had attacked the artillery positions in the rear, in addition to mobilizing troops to encircle and annihilate the sneak attack troops, in order to prevent reinforcements from the city, a capable army was deployed on the front line. It can be seen that Susukawa Shizumi, an old Japanese devil, still has some tactical capabilities.
"Hai" Major Koizumi suddenly lowered his head and turned around and left.
