The Saeda detachment was also not much better than the 33rd Division.

The only good thing is that their casualties are much smaller.

At the beginning, it was the 33rd Division that went to attack Daeunshan, and the Saeda detachment was later taken over.

Moreover, on the opposite side of the Saeda detachment, there was only one corps of the Twentieth Army, so it was easier to fight.

The current Saeda detachment is a little more numerous than the 33rd Division.

But the leader of the Saeda detachment also faced the same problem as Ichiro Ozawahara.

In addition to asking the 33rd Division to rescue Wuhan, Anami also gave the same order to the Saeda detachment.

And in the current situation, going to Wuhan will definitely be surrounded.

The 9th Theater was now in close pursuit of the 33rd Division, and behind his Saeda detachment, one of the opposing divisions was also following.

Although a certain distance was always maintained, it could be seen that they were preparing for the detachment that surrounded him.

The detachment leader Saeda is very sure that if his troops go to Wuhan, then it will not be long before the tiger's troops will surround Wuhan layer by layer.

The 106th Division was finished, and the 33rd Division also suffered heavy losses, and with one detachment of its own, it would be 20,000 men at best.

It is not easy for 20,000 people to face more than 100,000 tigers.

If one is not careful, he will be annihilated.

It's better if you have plenty of weapons and ammunition.

The problem is that now in Wuhan, the other side has launched an attack.

There is little chance that the 2nd Division will hold on.

When the time comes, their arsenal in Wuhan will definitely be snatched by the other side.

How can their own troops and the 33rd Division defend without logistical support?

Fighting a war is about logistics!

However, the orders of the only commanders of Anan are in his hands, and if he does not go, it will be disobedience.

It's a felony, and it's going to be his family.

You can't go without going.

Saeda gritted his teeth and went to Wuhan!

With Saeda's detachment, he ran to Wuhan.

Wang Han's plane continued to conduct aerial reconnaissance and provide Li Lei with the latest Japanese movements.

The movements of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army and the Saeda Detachment were clear to Li Lei.

He didn't care at all.

According to Wang Han's report, it would take almost two days for the Japanese army to arrive in Wuhan.

Two days...... The whole of Wuhan is already in my hands.

Moreover, the First and Second Divisions of the New Fourth Army had already arrived in Xianning, and Lao Chen's troops in the Sixth Theater would soon be able to reach Tongcheng.

Tiger Boy's army of more than 100,000 people is still chasing after the Japanese army.

Anan only wanted to watch the 33rd Division and the Saeda detachment recapture Wuhan, which was simply a fool's dream.

I am afraid that their troops will be annihilated if they do not reach Wuhan.

At this time, the tiger boy was ordering the troops to advance at full speed, and must catch up with the Japanese and surround them.

Lao Chen's troops in the Sixth War Zone also marched quickly.

Now the whole battlefield is about speed.

At this time, Anan Weiji, who was already in Huoshan, had a solemn face and was very ugly.

The Eleventh Army, so to speak, was destroyed in his hands.

If Wuhan can be defended, then he may die a better-looking death.

If Wuhan can't be defended, I'm afraid it will be seppuku, and his reputation will also be ruined.

Until now, Anan has not understood why the situation has suddenly deteriorated.

Obviously, when I first started, the situation was very good.

His plan was obviously very successful, but why did it fail in the end?

Anan was almost insane.

Wuhan must be defended at all costs. That's his bottom line.

Although Changsha was not defeated, I could not throw Wuhan away.

In the Japanese headquarters, Konoe said worriedly: "Your Excellency Commander, now our troops are seriously understaffed and have suffered heavy losses. It will be very difficult to hold Wuhan.

In order to preserve their strength, I suggest that the 33rd Division and the Saeda Detachment should defend and rescue Wuhan.

Now almost all of the Tiger Boy's troops are rushing towards Wuhan, and our troops are guarding Wuhan, and without reinforcements, they are easily surrounded and annihilated by the other side. ”

Of course Anan only knew.

Now his strength is no longer enough to fight Tiger Boy.

"Konoe-kun, if Wuhan is lost, you and I will have to cut our stomach!"

Anan Weiji gritted his teeth and said: "We still have hope, as long as our troops hold Wuhan for ten days, and the troops urgently transferred by the dispatch army can arrive." ”

Konoe had to refute the text, but when he heard Anan Yuji say that he might also have a seppuku, his heart immediately felt bad.

Wuhan must be defended!

If I don't keep it, I'll have to cut my stomach!

That's not going to work.

My beautiful wife is still waiting for me at home.

Calculating, it has been almost two years since I left the island country. My beautiful wife wrote to me that she had given me a chubby son for nothing.

Although it feels wrong, I am still very excited to have a son.

Li Lei's new 1st Brigade has now completely occupied Wuchang.

The last devil in Wuchang has been annihilated by Sun Chenghai.

Now all the units of the new 1st Brigade are advancing towards Hankow and Hanyang.

If it goes well, we will be able to take the three towns of Wuhan today.

It was a landmark victory.

Li Lei sent the news to the tiger boy and the head of the New Fourth Army.

The commander of the New Fourth Army was very surprised when he received the news.

Li Lei's new 1st Brigade is simply terrifying.

Knocked down so quickly.

The Third Brigade he sent over has not yet reached Wuchang.

The tiger boy who received the news was also very excited, Wuchang beat down, and it won't be long before the entire three towns of Wuhan will be defeated.

The plan has largely been realized.

What we need to do now is to kill the 33rd Division and the Saeda detachment and recover the whole of Hubei.

Lao Chen has already beaten down Yichang. One of his armies attacked directly east from Yichang, and wherever they went, the Japanese were overturned on their backs.

The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army hit Xianning headlong.

The 1st and 2nd Divisions of the New Fourth Army have already set up defensive lines.

When Ichiro Ozawahara rushed to Xianning to take a breath, he was horrified to find that Xianning had been occupied.

It was so surprising to him.

He hadn't received any news at all.

In a telegram from Commander Anan, the other side sent troops to Tongcheng to block it.

Therefore, his 33rd Division, retreating as fast as possible, had already retreated before the opponent's troops reached Tongcheng.

But I didn't expect to arrive in Wuhan soon, and I was actually stopped in Xianning.

This gave Ichiro Ozawahara a great headache.

Xianning is the only way to Wuhan.

If you want to go to Wuhan, you have to take Xianning over.

This feeling of not being able to pee made Ichiro Ozawahara almost crazy.

The 1st and 2nd Divisions of the New Fourth Army were in no hurry to attack.

Their mission was to stop the 33rd Division.

As long as the thirty-third does not attack, they will not take the initiative to attack.

Now is not the time to take the initiative.

Ozawahara Ichiro was very anxious, let's fight, his troops are now very tired, and the troops are insufficient, and it is easy to suffer losses in the fight. I don't know how many troops the other side has, which will seriously affect the time for the troops to retreat.

If you don't fight, there is no other way to get around.

You can't just stay here.

The opposing troops behind are still chasing after them violently.

I had no choice but to fight hard.

As soon as he got in touch, Ichiro Ozawahara realized a problem, the combat effectiveness of the opposing troops was very strong!

If you want to break through the opponent's defense line in a short time, it is simply impossible.

As for the news that the 33rd Division was blocked in Xianning, Li Lei had also received the news.

In order to support the 1st and 2nd Divisions, Li Lei ordered Wang Han's planes to immediately go to Xianning and bomb the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army.

The 30 Soviet-style planes of the Tiger Boy had also taken off from Changsha and aimed at the 33rd Division.

A wide net is being rolled out.

Ichiro Ozawahara, who was in the middle of the net, had no good way at all.

He pondered over the map, trying to find a solution, but found that no matter what way it was, the 33rd Division would not be able to retreat in its entirety.

Now let alone to support Wuhan, he is now unable to protect himself.

In desperation, Ichiro Ozawahara could only send a telegram to Anan Yuji again, requesting a retreat to the east.

Perhaps the troops will go east, and his troops will be preserved.

Anan Yui unsurprisingly rejected Ichiro Ozawahara's suggestion.

He was still ordered to continue advancing towards Wuhan.

In Anan Weiji's opinion, Xianning would not have many other troops at all.

Although he was very surprised that Xianning appeared with the opposing army, he judged that it was just the assault force of the tiger boy.

There can't be many.

The large army of Tiger Boy is still behind the 33rd Division.

This conclusion is too hasty.

Ichiro Ozawahara, who was angry, tore the telegram to shreds directly.

"Order the troops, attack!" Ichiro Ozawahara was angry, and his voice changed.

The tired Japanese army, in desperation, could only launch an attack.

But their attack, weak and weak, could not break through the defense line of the 1st and 2nd divisions at all.

Although the equipment and combat effectiveness of the two divisions are not as strong as Li Lei's new 1st Brigade, their overall combat effectiveness is still very strong.

In addition, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was too tired, so it was relatively easy to defend.

The Japanese army simply could not organize an effective offensive.

Several attacks were hastily organized, but they were all beaten by the New Fourth Army.

And the plane of Wang Han and Tiger Boy in the sky has rumbled to arrive.

The bombing of the planes made the entire 33rd Division turn on their backs.

The formation was chaotic.

In desperation, Ozawahara Ichiro could only ask the troops to be withdrawn and find another way.

A thought popped into Ichiro Ozawahara's mind.

Perhaps, it's time for me to surrender.

If he continues to fight like this, his troops will have no second possibility at all except to be annihilated.

There are opposing troops everywhere, and there are planes from the other side in the sky.

Their own troops have reached their limit and simply cannot fight anymore.

In the few battles just organized, Ichiro Ozawahara could clearly see that the soldiers' war weariness was very high.

The entire army is on the verge of collapse.
