One torpedo after another hit the four transport ships that were escaping their lives. Suddenly, violent explosions rang out one after another, and each was hit by torpedoes, at least one or two, and the most one was hit by five torpedoes.

The nearly 10,000 tons transport ship that Matsuura Tsuichi was riding was hit by five torpedoes one after another. Matsuura Tsuichi was really unlucky.

The trajectories I just saw represent several torpedoes. This one was four torpedoes, and one torpedo hit the transport ship. In a minute or two, another torpedo was another, with a total of five in front and behind.

This transport ship, which is nearly 10,000 tons, was blown to pieces. On the hull and below the waterline, there were several shocking holes, and a large amount of sea water poured directly into it.

Thick smoke was rolling on the ship. All the torpedoes tore open the hull and drilled into the inside of the ship to explode. The ship carrying thousands of tons of rubber immediately rolled in thick smoke after the violent explosion, and then a raging fire broke out.

It was completely black smoke, and the sky was covered with black smoke. Matsuura Toshiichi, who was running on the deck, was so smoked that his face turned black. Matsuura Toshi staggered and almost couldn't run steadily.

After being hit by so many torpedoes, the transport ship was almost blown into two pieces, and the hull was immediately tilted, and the deck was all inclined. No wonder Toyoshi Matsuura could not stand firm at all. He finally ran out of his cabin and ran to the deck after a lot of effort.

Picking up a lifebuoy, Toshiichi Matsuura was about to jump into the sea, but at this moment, the tilting hull suddenly broke and broke into two pieces. The disconnected position was at the bottom of Toshiichi Matsuura's feet.

"No!!!"

Matsuura Toshiichi screamed shrillly, and then fell down. He fell downwards, just in a pile of burning rubber, and was quickly engulfed by the fire. The hull, broken into two pieces, sank at a visible speed.

The other transport ships were hit by torpedoes one after another, and a large amount of water was poured into the sea. The thick smoke was rising and it began to tilt slowly. It began to sink slowly.

Some little Japanese began to jump into the sea in panic and abandoned their ships one after another.

In the submarine, the soldiers cheered in waves. The soldiers had already sunk all the small Japanese ships beautifully, and they did not let a single one go.

Not long after, the submarines floated out to the sea. Then sailed far away, leaving behind several sinking ships, leaving behind the little Japanese who were still struggling in the sea.

The soldiers ignored the little Japanese who were still struggling in the sea. They were far away from the mainland, and the final fate of these little Japanese was to sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Over Wuxi City.

Several reconnaissance aircraft are conducting reconnaissance in this area. The Japanese in Wuxi naturally discovered these reconnaissance aircraft, and these Japanese invaders don’t remember how many times they discovered these reconnaissance aircraft.

At the beginning, the Japanese used anti-aircraft machine guns to drive them away, but after they found that there was not much effect, the Japanese ignored them.

The command of the 101st Division in the city, Jiro Ishikawa, the division commander, was outside the command center, holding a telescope and looking at a reconnaissance plane of the newly formed 6th Army in the sky.

Seeing this reconnaissance plane, Jiro Ishikawa's face turned pale and shouted angrily: "Baiga, it's another plane of the newly-organized 6th Army."

Jiro Ishikawa knew about the big air battle yesterday, and his planes were almost completely lost. Jiro Ishikawa knew that this area would be a free area for the newly formed 6th Army aircraft.

"His division commander, the aircraft of the newly formed 6th Army frequently conducts reconnaissance on us, and we have almost no secrets in front of the newly formed 6th Army." A major general of the Japanese next to him put down his telescope and said worriedly.

After Suzhou was restored, the Japanese in Wuxi, which is very close to Suzhou, were very nervous, especially the Japanese in the 101st Division, Jiro Ishikawa was no exception. Jiro Ishikawa was also worried that the newly formed 6th Army would attack Suzhou.

Come to whatever you are worried about. Not long after, a Japanese master rushed over and said anxiously: "Secretary Commander, reliable information. A large number of newly formed 6th Army troops in Suzhou have begun to head north, and the target may be Wuxi."

Upon hearing this, Jiro Ishikawa thought that the newly formed 6th Army was very fast. It had just captured Suzhou and was about to attack Wuxi. After thinking about it, Jiro Ishikawa said in a deep voice.

"Order the 3rd Regiment to defend the Baimahe area, and then order all the Imperial Army to go to the Baimahe position to assist the 3rd Regiment to defend. In addition, all the troops outside Suzhou City will enter the city and prepare for street fighting..."

Jiro Ishikawa quickly issued a series of orders, including asking for help from Okamura Yasuji and requesting reinforcements.

There is a river between Suzhou and Wuxi that is 30 meters wide. This is the Baima River. This river from northeast to southwest finally flows into Taihu Lake, and at the same time separates Suzhou and Wuxi.

All the roads from Suzhou to Wuxi and railways must cross the Baima River. In other words, the Baima River cuts off all the roads and railways from Suzhou to Wuxi in half.

All the bridges on the river were blown up. When the newly formed 6th Army first attacked Suzhou, Jiro Ishikawa of Wuxi ordered that almost all the bridges be blown up, leaving only two main bridges for his troops to go south to reinforce Suzhou.

Later, Suzhou was about to be liberated, and there was no need for reinforcements, the 101st Division blew up the two last bridges, thus all the roads from Suzhou to Wuxi were broken.

The Japanese already knew that the newly formed 6th Army troops, including tanks, basically advanced along the highway, because the water network in the Yangtze River Delta area is densely populated, and it will be difficult not to move along the highway and may be very slow.

In order to block the newly formed 6th Army troops who might go north, the 101st Division built a large number of fortifications on the north bank of the Shirama River and formed a long river-along position, which is the Shirama River position at the mouth of Ishikawa Jiro.

On the White Horse River position, the Japanese deployed heavy troops, a whole infantry regiment, with more than 3,000 Japanese. In addition, there were a large number of puppet troops, and the number of puppet troops on the positions was no less than that of the Japanese. In addition, Jiro Ishikawa also ordered that all puppet troops be deployed along the White Horse River position.

There are definitely more than 10,000 puppet troops in Wuxi, and all of these puppet troops were deployed in the Baima River area. Obviously, Jiro Ishikawa was preparing to treat all these puppet troops as cannon fodder.

Japanese troops' Baima River position.

A large number of fortifications can be seen everywhere on the positions. Not only are there a large number of war defense artillery deployed, but also a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Perhaps all war defense artillery of the 101st Division, all anti-aircraft machine guns, and all anti-aircraft machine guns are deployed on this long river-altitude position.

No wonder Jiro Ishikawa ordered all the outside teams to enter the city to prepare for street fighting. On the one hand, it was on the one hand that the longer the street fighting could last. The longer the time would be persistent, it would be more beneficial to the Japanese army and could wait for the smooth arrival of reinforcements.

On the other hand, except for the 3rd Regiment on the Baimahe position, the remaining units of the 101st Division have almost no combat artillery, no anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and no these weapons, what should I do if I encounter aircraft bombing and the newly formed 6th Army's chariot group?

The captain of the 3rd Regiment, Taketaro Kawamoto, and several Japanese officers, stood on the river bank, looking at the three or forty meters wide river surface in front of him, and seemed to have good confidence.

Obviously, Taketaro Kawamoto had received information that the newly formed 6th Army had begun to leave Suzhou to head north. On the position, many Japanese devils were preparing for combat. A straight machine gun was set up, and many war defense guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were ready. It seemed that they could open fire at any time.

"His corps captain, there is also our huge heavy artillery group behind our position, and our position is indestructible." A Japanese master next to him also seemed full of confidence.

The Shirama River in front can undoubtedly block the chariot group of the newly formed 6th Army. Without the guidance of the chariots, if the newly formed 6th Army relies on infantry, Taketaro Kawamoto is confident of blocking the enemy from the other side of the river.

In addition, Taketaro Kawamoto was not afraid of the heavy artillery group of the newly formed 6th Army, because not far behind the Shirama River position, there was a huge Japanese artillery position, and it was all heavy artillery.

This was deployed by the Japanese secretly overnight. Without knowing it, everything was very secret. After the artillery positions were deployed, they were camouflaged. Every heavy artillery and every large truck were disguised strictly. Even if there were aircraft in the air to investigate, it would not be possible to discover it.

Thinking of the huge heavy artillery group behind him, Taketaro Kawamoto smiled happily, as if imagining that the heavy artillery group of the newly formed 6th Army was bombarded at its position at the beginning, and was immediately bombarded by the huge heavy artillery group behind him, causing heavy losses.

All heavy artillery of more than 100 mm in the 101st Division are concentrated here, including 12 155 mm field guns, 24 105 mm field guns, and a total of 36 heavy artillery.

"Your Excellency the Corps Commander, all the Imperial Army have come here and assist us in defending the positions according to the orders of the division commander."

Holding the telescope, it seemed that I really saw a large number of puppet troops coming toward the road in the distance. Taketaro Kawamoto was happy, "Yo Xi! Deploy all the Imperial Army to the forefront of our position."

The Baima River position is very close to Wuxi, less than ten kilometers away. These puppet troops came quickly. At this point, there were more than 3,000 Japanese devils and tens of thousands of puppet troops in the entire position, and the positions stretched for several kilometers along the river.

North of Suzhou City.

A long convoy was driving, which was one of the vanguards of the newly formed 6th Army. However, this time, the vanguard was actually the Armored Division, not the Mechanized Infantry Division, but the soldiers of the Infantry Division.

Several roads leading to Suzhou are the same, all of which are long convoys of infantry divisions. It seems that this time it is the leading town of each infantry division.
