Chapter 100: Japanese Army Response
Watching Qiao Anbang and other Chinese officers leave one after another, Beth and several colleagues quickly took a few photos of the broken body of Asakamiya Hikari.
Then several Chinese soldiers, like wolves and tigers, stepped forward and began to clean up the corpses. The people gathered around them dispersed when they saw this. However, the people had already regarded Qiao Anbang as a national hero in their hearts. [bsp; Just when Bes and others were about to turn around and leave to return to the newspaper office, Wang Gensheng rushed over in a captain's uniform.
Wang Gensheng waved his hand and called Beth and others: "Mr. Beth, wait a moment."
Beth and others stopped hearing this and asked with fear, "Sir, what else is there?"
Wang Gensheng couldn't understand English at all, so he had no choice but to say, "Come with me, our team has something to do with you."
Beth also couldn't understand Chinese, but he could understand Wang Gensheng's gestures. He looked at each other with several other companions, nodded silently, and then followed Wang Gensheng to walk into Tianxiang Inn.
In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, the Hu Ben Tuan Communication Company set up the radio station here. Communication personnel in the hall are shuttled back and forth from time to time, and the atmosphere seems very tight.
Wang Gensheng took Bes and others into the hall, walked straight through the hall and headed towards the backyard of the inn.
After leaving the hall, Beth and others found that there were four Chinese soldiers with live ammunition standing at the entrance of the backyard. Several foreigners were very nervous at the moment, afraid that Qiao Anbang would do anything unfavorable to them.
Soon, the group led by Wang Gensheng to a main room in the backyard. The door was open and Qiao Anbang was having a meeting under a cadre.
When he arrived at the door, Wang Gensheng stood up and shouted loudly: "Reporting the group, the people are here."
Qiao Anbang, who was deploying combat missions for the military chiefs of each battalion, turned his head and looked at Beth outside the door and said to everyone present: "Okay, you all go and prepare quickly. You must build fortifications as I said, and prepare for the next fierce battle.
"Yes!" Everyone responded with a loud bang, and then stood up and left.
After watching his subordinates leave, Qiao Anbang walked out with great strides and smiled and said to Beth and others: "Mr. Beth, I'm sorry, I've let you wait for a long time."
"Oh, no, no." Beth waved his hand and smiled with great tact, "I don't know, what's wrong with the sir looking for us again?"
"There is nothing, I just want to remind Mr. Beth not to forget the agreement between us." Qiao Anbang said meaningfully and calmly.
"Please rest assured, we will publish what happened just now in the newspaper as quickly as possible." Beth secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied.
"No, not only do you have to publish in Suzhou, but you also have to find a way to wash out the photos and then send them to Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places quickly. As for what to do next, I think it's not a problem for Mr. Beth?" Qiao Anbang smiled and said, "In addition, after the photos are washed out, I will also give me a batch."|
"Okay, no problem. I will handle this matter as soon as possible, and of course the photos are fine." Beth nodded repeatedly to agree.
"Gensheng, please send a few people to escort them back to the reportage agency, and then bring the photos back." Qiao Anbang turned his head and ordered Wang Gensheng.
"Yes!" Wang Gensheng immediately stood up and then turned around and said to Beth and others, "Please..."

The explicit telegram sent by the Hu Ben Group was soon received by radio stations near Suzhou and even the entire China, China and Japan.
Shanghai, the headquarters of the Central China Expeditionary Force of the Japanese Army.
The current chief of staff of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army Major General Tsukadada, holding a telegram, rushed into the office of Commander Matsui Ishien.
Matsui Ishigen, who was burying his head to review the documents, looked up when he heard the sound. Tsukada Otsumi looked heavy and asked first, "Tsukada Jun, what's wrong? What's going on?"
"General, I just received a clear code telegram from Suzhou by the Chinese people, saying that they had captured Suzhou City and captured and killed Prince Hirohiko Asakamami!" Tsukata Osaka lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"What?" Matsui Ishigen was shocked when he heard this. He stood up from the chair suddenly and asked in shock: "Tsukada-kun, are you sure this is true?"
"It's probably true." Tsukada Ota nodded with a gloomy face and replied.
"It's over, it's over." Matsui Ishiken sat on the chair with a bleak look on his face.
He immediately roared like an outbreak: "Why didn't Prince Asahiko retreat? Why? Why did he take the initiative to evacuate?"
Tsukada Toru lowered his head speechlessly to shame.
After roaring for a long time, Matsui Ishigen gradually calmed down his excitement. Matsui Ishigen knew that things had come to this point, and even if he shouted out, it would be useless.
The only thing to do is to mobilize troops to wipe out the Hu Ben regiment in Suzhou as soon as possible to avenge Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya. Only in this way can he explain to the Emperor to Japan.
As long as the Tiger Ben regiment is wiped out, Matsui Ishien can declare to the country that Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya was unfortunately killed when he led his troops to fight with the Chinese army, rather than being captured and killed now.
Thinking of this, Matsui Ishione stood up again and attacked Tsukada: "Tsukada, immediately help Hei Yanagawa to generate electricity, and ask him to immediately transfer the 18th Division, and the Guozaki Detachment moved closer to Wuxi Suzhou along the east bank of Taihu Lake. In addition, he also requested the Third Fleet to send the Marine Corps 1st to the Fifth Battalion together with the Independent Third and Fifth to head towards Suzhou. We must completely eliminate this evil Chinese Tiger Ben Group!"
"General, this Tiger Ben Regiment can capture Suzhou in such a short time. Its combat effectiveness is beyond the reach of a regiment-level unit. A few days ago, the 10th Army used the Guozai Detachment, the 18th Division and a garrison brigade, but failed to annihilate it. So Bei Zhi thought that whether we should transfer our main divisions from the Nanjing front line and encircle and annihilate the Tiger Ben Regiment in Suzhou City in one fell swoop." Tsukata Osaka lowered his head and suggested.
"No, the capture of the Chinese capital will be successful soon, and we must not fail. As long as the 18th Division and the Guozaki Detachment can arrive in Wuxi in time and block the retreat of the Chinese army to flee north, we can rely on absolute air superiority to trap the Chinese army in Suzhou City. After they have run out of ammunition and food, they will definitely be able to annihilate it." Matsui Ishien immediately rejected.
"General, look at this." Tsukada Oshiro saw that Matsui Ishiro could not persuade him, so he handed the message to him. Facing Matsui Ishiro's puzzled gaze, Tsukada Oshiro explained: "The Chinese army said at the end of the message that they will wait for the imperial army to die in Suzhou City at any time."
"Bagaya Road! The arrogant and stupid Chinese pig is provoking the imperial army's military power! It must be eliminated in all!" Matsui Ishigen was furious when he heard this and roared in anger: "Give power to the 16th Division, let Nakajima Atsugo quickly draw two infantry corpses back to Suzhou quickly. This time, I must eliminate all this damn Tiger Ben group!"
"Hayi!" Tsukada Oku suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and left with a saber in his arms.
