After leaving the regiment headquarters, Qiao Anbang and others got on a few trucks and armored vehicles and rushed towards the south gate.

The first battalion of the Huben Regiment was responsible for guarding the south of the city. After all, the first battalion was retreated from the southwest direction, and field defense fortifications were built outside the south gate. Due to the complete equipment, and the soldiers worked tirelessly for the past few days.

The position built by the first battalion finally met what Qiao Anbang said in advance. In fact, as a time traveler, Qiao Anbang knew the tactics of the Japanese very well. It was nothing more than artillery bombing, infantry rushing, infantry rushing, infantry rushing, and infantry cannot rush up. If artillery or aircraft bombing again, they can't rush up, so they send a small group of detour troops to conduct detour side attacks.

Because the tactical ideas of the generals of the National Army were backward at that time, when deploying troops, they often placed their troops along the front line. They did not understand that the magic horse was called deep defense, and the staging equipment was even more dull than the Japanese tactics. Once the Japanese army broke through one point, the entire line collapsed.

Moreover, they did not pay enough attention to the flanks. The brave soldiers of the Kuomintang often consolidated their positions with their lives and blood. Because the flanks were attacked by Japanese detoured troops, in order to avoid being completely wiped out by the enemy, the commander of the Kuomintang could only order the retreat. The Japanese frontal troops were following the situation and blocking the killing, and the Kuomintang would often collapse and defeat.

On the battlefield in Shanxi not long ago, Ban Hengzheng Shiro, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Chinese and Japanese Army, swept across the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Central Army, the Jinsui Army of Wei Lihuang and Yan Xishan, with only half of the division.

Half of the Japanese division killed about 15,000 people and 20,000 people. However, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army had more than 300,000 troops, and had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the Jinsui Army were not bad. The Central Army led by Wei Lihuang was the elite of the National Government, with logistics supply to the National Army fighting in Shanxi, backed by Taiyuan, and had full support from the Taiyuan Arsenal, without any logistical worries.

Moreover, there were more than 30,000 elite Red Army soldiers who had been through a lot of battles to cooperate in the battle behind the enemy. However, Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang had a little strategic and tactical command ability, not to mention luring the enemy into the deep and annihilated them, just in terms of defense, if hundreds of thousands of troops were equipped at the same time, they would be equipped with layers of defense.

Just because the more than 10,000 people in Ban Hengzheng Shiro's hands wanted to conquer Taiyuan was simply a dream. Even if he was tired, he could exhaust the more than 10,000 Japanese devils to death.

Therefore, the commander of a unit determines the combat effectiveness and quality of this unit. There is an old saying that a general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies to death.

However, for the Tiger Ben, there is no need to be afraid of the Japanese tactics that have not changed for ten thousand years. Unless the Japanese transfer the only few heavy artillery brigades in Japan at that time, even the artillery corps of a division of the Japanese army would not be the opponent of the Tiger Ben regiment.

In terms of individual light weapons, the Japanese's Type 38 bolt-pull-pull-rift and Garland semi-automatic rifle are not on the same level. The Thomson submachine gun and Browning light machine gun are enough to make the Japanese wail and scream in the rain of bullets.

Equipping a national army squad with Garland and Thomson, the defense battle is enough to deal with a small team of the Japanese, and even more.

The only thing to beware of is the Japanese plane. The third battalion suffered a great loss when it attacked Suzhou City two days ago. Fortunately, the armored commando and reconnaissance company arrived in time, otherwise the third battalion might have been defeated.

Therefore, in order to strengthen the troops' air defense capabilities, Qiao Anbang secretly asked Yali to get eight German 88mm caliber anti-aircraft guns from the aircraft in the past two days.

This 88mm anti-aircraft gun not only has strong air defense firepower, but can also be used as an anti-tank gun. In the original World War II, the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun caused a lot of trouble in the British and American Allies. Whether it was a British heavy tank or a Soviet T34, it had only one end in front of the 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun, that is, it was destroyed!

Moreover, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun has an extremely amazing rate of fire. It is quite powerful when used to deal with densely charged enemy infantry or tank armor clusters.

In order to increase the maneuver power of anti-aircraft guns, Qiao Anbang drew a batch of tractors from the artillery battalion to pull these eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

Moreover, in order to facilitate unified command, Qiao Anbang combined the armored commando and reconnaissance company, which were originally affiliated with the artillery battalion, and equipped the eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns to the armored company. In this way, the armored company became a fast mobile force with both assault and air defense.

While Qiao Anbang was patrolling the frontier positions of the first battalion, accompanied by Kong Xiangjie, deputy battalion commander Zhao Gengyuan and others, an armored vehicle rushed towards him in a distance.

The armored vehicle drove to Qiao Anbang and stopped abruptly. A scout jumped down from the armored vehicle and trotted all the way to Qiao Anbang and stood attentively. He reported quickly: "The regiment seat, a large Japanese army was found five kilometers southwest, with a large number of troops of about 4,000 people. Some tanks, tanks, tanks and artillery were found, but the specific number was unknown."

"Oh? Have you figured out the specific number of this Japanese man?" Qiao Anbang asked.

"No." The scout shook his head and said: "But this Japanese are different from other Japanese. Their military uniforms are blue, while the military uniforms of other Japanese are all yellow."

"Blue?" Qiao Anbang was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then turned his head and looked at Kong Xiangjie and others.

"The rank of the regiment, could it be the Japanese Marines?" Kong Xiangjie suddenly realized: "During the Battle of Songhu, the one who blocked our army for nearly half a month was the Japanese Marines. Their uniforms were sea blue. This Japanese equipment was much better than ordinary Japanese, and its combat effectiveness was quite strong than that of ordinary Japanese."

"Marine Corps?" Qiao Anbang immediately fell into deep thought when he heard this. It seemed that this Marine Corps should be reinforcements from the Japanese from Shanghai. After learning that Suzhou had been lost, he marched to Suzhou. The purpose was self-evident.

After pondering for a long time, Qiao Anbang suddenly looked up and said in a deep voice: "The first battalion commander, send me the order, and the first battalion gathers quickly and prepares to attack!"

"Strike?" Kong Xiangjie said in confusion: "Rounce, I heard it right. This time we came the elite Japanese Marine Corps. At the Battle of Shanghai, these four or five thousand marines blocked the fierce attack of tens of thousands of troops of our five German divisions. Their combat power is evident. Moreover, this may be just the vanguard of the Japanese. There may be more Japanese behind us. We should rely on the existing fortifications and defend the battle situation."

"Elite?" Qiao Anbang snorted coldly: "I am fighting against elites. First battalion commander, you don't know. Now the Japanese are mobilizing heavy troops to besiege Suzhou. We have to defend Suzhou to the death, but we cannot really defend to the death. If we should attack, we should still attack. While the main force of the Japanese army has not yet arrived, we can kill one more, and the pressure we face will be smaller later!"

After saying this, Qiao Anbang said confidently: "Okay, execute the order quickly and the Japanese will arrive soon."

"Yes!" Kong Xiangjie, Zhao Gengyuan and others quickly stepped forward and immediately took the order and left.

Watching the two leave, Qiao Anbang turned his head and ordered Wang Gensheng: "Gensheng, immediately notify the Armored Company and the Second Battalion to come to the South Gate to gather quickly. The defense in the city will be temporarily handed over to the Third Battalion and the Guard Company."

"Yes!" Wang Gensheng also agreed and quickly took the order and left.
