Chapter 1284 Foreign troops enter the public concession to defend against the Japanese army

As the good news in Suzhou City suddenly resounded through the streets and alleys of various major cities, the sales of all the newsboys selling newspapers, as well as newsstands, postmen delivering newspapers, etc., were extremely hot. All the newspapers published at once,

They were all sold out by the citizens.

In the foreign public concession, there were also many foreign officers who had obtained these newspapers and were reading them.

"Haven't the Japanese troops already defeated the troops of the four German divisions of the Chinese army and completely evacuated from the Suzhou River area? How come there are still troops left in Suzhou City to fight against the incoming Japanese army? Moreover,

Or did they win the first battle? How did they blow up the Japanese heavy artillery unit?"

"I heard that the Chinese army that stayed in Suzhou City had an artillery unit, and it was the first to launch a sneak attack despite the Japanese army's careless combat, so it blew up all the Japanese heavy artillery units.

On the spot!”

"Have all our intelligence agents been sent to that side to collect intelligence? This result is completely beyond our expectation! In our estimation, the Chinese army should be defeated by the Japanese army.

If we continue to retreat step by step, we will lose the entire Songhu!"

"Songhu will definitely be lost. Judging from the current battle situation, especially the Japanese army that successfully landed from the Jinshan Guard side has defeated all the Chinese troops that were dispatched to intercept on the other side.

Maybe this large force of the Japanese 10th Army can join up with Matsui Iwane’s dispatched troops, and together they can encircle and suppress these Chinese troops who are in defeat!"

"What you are talking about is completely possible! Based on the current combat capabilities of the Chinese army, it is completely incapable of fighting. Once Songhu falls to the Japanese army, they will be able to hold on to their capital.

I'm lucky! But I'm not optimistic that they can hold Nanjing! Facing the Japanese mechanized troops, as well as the navy and air force assisting in bombing operations, the Chinese army has no way of holding on there!"

"Whether they can hold on or not is no longer very important to us. Now it's just something we talk about after dinner! I'm a little worried now about whether these Japanese troops will come to our public concession.

, carry out provocative operations, or offensive operations! We have too few troops here. Once we face the attack of so many Japanese troops, we may not be able to defend it!"

"Well! I think so too. Then we can only dispatch our fleet immediately to strengthen our defense here! We also need to dispatch some troops to strengthen!"

"That is necessary. Otherwise, if we encounter an attack by these Japanese troops, we may be in danger. Who knows what cruel things these wolf-like Japanese troops will do?"

"Then our citizens in the public concession, should we escort them out of here? Or should we continue to let them live here?"

"Stay here for now! The Japanese army probably won't attack us for a while!"

"Of course! Otherwise, once we unite to fight back against them, these Japanese troops will not be able to take advantage of them! They will only dare to bully the Chinese troops with inferior weapons and equipment. They want to compete with us.

If the national army with strong firepower and industrial logistics support capabilities comes to fight, they will definitely lose!"

"Hey! I really want these Japanese troops to dare to challenge us, because in this case, we will make them clearly realize that the gap between them and us is not comparable to that of the Chinese army! We will cripple them so

Dare to provoke our Japanese troops!"

When these foreign officers gathered together again for afternoon tea,

They were also in a lively mood and started talking about it one after another.

And for them, they would not take the Japanese and Chinese troops into consideration at all.

As for the citizens in the foreign public concession, as well as these foreign officers, they were excitedly discussing the success of Liu Feiyang's clone troops in defeating the Japanese 9th Division and the 3rd Division on the other side of Suzhou City.

Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division, and Zhang Bai, chief of staff, have also strengthened the first battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division from the Zhabei forward position to Sihang Warehouse, allowing them to fight with one battalion.

Come and stay here for seven days to cover the retreat of the entire army.

Their combat opponents were also troops from the Japanese Third Division.

at the same time,

American Admiral Henry Irving had also received combat instructions from his superiors and personally led a fleet of more than 40 ships, headed by the cruiser USS Augusta, into Huangpu as quickly as possible.

River;

On the British side, in addition to the navy and army commanded by Vice Admiral Charles, they also specially transferred a battalion of the Welsh Fusiliers from Hong Kong Island.

To prevent Japanese troops from invading foreigners' public concessions.
