Nanjing, the chief garrison commander and chief garrison.

Tang Shengzhi once again summoned generals above the division to discuss the situation. At this time, most of the positions outside Nanjing had been lost, and the situation was very urgent. Last night, Chairman Jiang personally sent an urgent telegram to Tang Shengzhi, indicating that he would decide whether to give up Nanjing and the Nanjing defenders break through. [bsp;    Before the war, Tang Shengzhi once boasted that the Haikou general led the defenders to vow to live and die with Nanjing, so he ordered him to abandon Nanjing at this time. It was really a mute and he had trouble saying that he had a hard time eating Coptis chinensis.

Everyone present had different opinions. Some people retreated, and some shouted that they would live and die with Nanjing, so they had discussed for a long time but had no results.

Chen Cheng, who was sitting under Tang Shengzhi's head, slapped the table impatiently, stopped the debate, and turned to Tang Shengzhi and said, "Commander-in-Chief Tang, you must have received the telegram from the commissioner, right? Now most of the positions in Nanjing have been lost, and the Japanese side division Yamada Detachment has approached Yizheng. Now it seems that it is only a matter of time before Nanjing's fall is about to happen. There is no need for us to destroy more than 100,000 troops in vain. So I suggest ordering the troops to break through and retreat immediately, otherwise when Yamada Detachment approaches Pukou and cuts off our army's retreat, it will be too late."

Chen Cheng's words resonated with many people present. Yu Jishi, the commander of the 74th Army, also stood up and nodded and agreed: "General, Brother Ci Xiu's words make sense. It's time for us to consider retreating."

"Yes, since the commission has already issued an order, why not withdraw?" Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division, also took advantage of the situation and stood up and said.

Unable to resist the urging of the crowd, and Tang Shengzhi himself had never planned to really sacrifice his life to defend Nanjing, so he cleared his throat and pretended to behave, and was about to agree to retreat.

Suddenly, a communications officer rushed in and stood up and saluted Tang Shengzhi, "Commander, good news, good news, I just received a clear and good news from the Tiger Ben Regiment. The Tiger Ben Regiment broke through the Japanese defense line about an hour ago, wiped out the enemy in Suzhou, successfully recovered Suzhou City, and captured the commander of the Japanese Shanghai Expedition Army Prince Hirohiko Asakamura, and killed him half an hour ago! At present, all Japanese troops outside the city have stopped attacking and have actively contracted and occupied the position."

As soon as the communications consultant made this statement, the scene was in an uproar:

"What? Restored Suzhou? Didn't the Tiger Ben 1st Regiment deal with the 18th Japanese Division in the Gaochun area? Why did it suddenly appear in Suzhou?"

"I also captured the commander of the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Army? I destroyed the command hub of the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Army? Oh my God, is it true or false? It's not a lie, right?"

Tang Shengzhi's face became more and more serious, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife and stared at the communications staff in disbelief: "What did you say? The Tiger Ben Restored Suzhou?"

"Yes, Commander, the Hu Ben Regiment not only restored Suzhou, but also cut off the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Army Commander and captured the Japanese commander Asakamiya Hirohiko!" The communications officer nodded quickly and replied.

Before Tang Shengzhi could speak, Chen Cheng stood up with a serious expression on his face and said suspiciously: "Commander Tang, there is something strange about this. If the Hu Ben regiment really wins Suzhou, you can send a telegram directly to our Nanjing Garrison Command. Why use clear code to generate electricity?"

Before Tang Shengzhi could answer, the communications officer handed the telegram in his hand and said excitedly: "Commander, Chief Chen, this is the last sentence of Captain Qiao Anbang at the telegram."

Tang Shengzhi took the message in confusion, read it quickly, and handed it to Chen Cheng, saying with great relief: "It is obvious that Qiao Anbang's purpose is to anger the Japanese army and attract the main force of the Japanese army to attack Suzhou, thereby alleviating the danger of Nanjing! This person started from the national justice and took risks to save the capital Nanjing, and was willing to be trapped in a heavy siege. He is a model for our soldiers to learn from!"

After saying this, Tang Shengzhi said to the communications consultant with a stern expression: "Immediately send a commendation message to the Huben Regiment and the Commander Qiao Anbang in the name of the Nanjing Garrison Commander-in-Chief's Office to encourage him. In addition, the news of the Suzhou victory will be reported to the committee."

"Yes!" The communications officer quickly stepped forward and turned around and left.

"Commander, what should we do now? Is Nanjing still guarding?" Yu Jishi asked in wonder.

"Defend, of course, you have to defend. Now the Tiger Ben Regiment has recaptured Suzhou, which can completely threaten to cut off the Japanese logistics supply line. Moreover, they not only destroyed the command hub of the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Army, causing the Japanese command system to be paralyzed, but the most important thing is to capture the Japanese commander Hirohiko, alive. You should all know that Hirohiko Asahiko, an old devil, is not an ordinary devil. He was born in the Japanese royal family and is the uncle of the current Japanese emperor Hirohito. Just imagine, once the Japanese emperor far away in Tokyo learned that his uncle was captured, the angry Japanese senior officials would very likely order the Japanese army to turn around and siege Suzhou City. Then we can take the opportunity to regain the lost positions these days and get precious rest time, and Nanjing will be safe." Tang Shengzhi said confidently.

"If this is true, then the Hu Ben Regiment will be in danger. It is true that the Hu Ben Regiment has strong combat power, but once the main force of the Japanese Shanghai dispatched army returns to Suzhou, it will not be one and a half divisions, but there are several divisions and tens of thousands of troops." General Gui Yongqing, the captain of the teaching corps, said with a worried look on his face.

"Brother straight, don't worry too much. Since the Battle of Ma'anshan, the Hu Ben Group has been performing miracles. In our opinion, the Hu Ben Group has done something impossible one after another. This time I believe that the Hu Ben Group will definitely turn bad luck into good luck and eventually break through smoothly!" Tang Shengzhi said.

"I hope!" Gui Yongqing sighed.

"Okay, there is nothing else, let's go. I hope all colleagues will return to their respective posts quickly, urge the troops to be cautious in case accidents happen!" Tang Shengzhi saw that everyone was speechless, and immediately waved his hand and signaled.

Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan.

The current chief of staff of Japan, Prince Zai Ren, walked into the palace with a blue face and heavy steps. Accompanied by the eunuch, he came straight to the study of the current Emperor Hirohito.

In the study, Emperor Hirohito was reading a book, and suddenly the eunuch's notice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Zai Ren is asking for your meeting!"

When he heard that it was Prince Zai Ren, Emperor Yuhien quickly looked up and said in a deep voice: "Please come in!" After saying that, he quickly stood up and prepared to greet him. Prince Zai Ren was of his grandfather by his generation. Yuhien knew that maintaining his rule over the empire was essential.

As soon as Emperor Hirohito got up, Prince Zai Ren walked in with a heavy face. Before he could salute Emperor Hirohito, Prince Zai Ren said in a sad tone: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Dodo was defeated and captured in Suzhou, China, and may have been killed." (Note: Dodo is the nickname of Hirohiko Asakamiya.)

"What? Uncle Hirohito was defeated and captured?" Emperor Hirohito was very shocked. He could not believe that Prince Hirohito Asakamiya, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, was actually captured by the despicable and stupid Chinese army.
