"Immediately telegraphed to Li Lei that the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, the Saeda Detachment, was evacuating to Wuhan. Let his troops immediately withdraw from Wuhan and move to the Yichang area. ”

It is no longer meaningful for Li Lei to fight Wuchang now, and the retreat of the Japanese army can directly threaten Li Lei's troops.

He had only one brigade of troops and was not at all an opponent of the 33rd Division and the Saeda detachment.

It is necessary to retreat immediately.

It turned out that the route was not working, and it was very likely that the Japanese army would be encountered.

It had to be moved somewhere else.

At present, the safest place is Yichang.

Lao Chen's troops are now attacking Yichang, if nothing else, by the time Li Lei's troops arrive in Yichang, Lao Chen has already defeated Yichang.

Alas, success and failure, success and failure!

The tiger cub let out a long sigh.

Wuhan could have been recovered, but now there is no hope.

The tiger boy suddenly felt very bored.

He is responsible for the way the battle is fought.

The phone rang, and Chief of Staff Wu answered, it was an old bald head.

Tiger Boy took the phone: "Take a seat." ”

The old bald head on the other end of the phone was very angry: "Tiger boy, how did you fight this battle?" How could the Japanese retreat? As long as they hold on for one more day, the troops of the 6th Theater will be able to rush to Tongcheng and completely encircle the 33rd Division and the Saeda Detachment of the Japanese Army.

As long as these two Japanese troops are annihilated, your troops will be able to drive straight into the whole of Hubei and annihilate all the Japanese troops.

Hubei, it can be recovered!

As a result, the good situation has made you like this, which really hurts me! ”

Seeing that Hubei flew away, the feeling of a roller coaster almost made his heart beat out.

"Bench, this is my dereliction of duty, I ask for punishment." The tiger cub is not easy to say anything.

In the final analysis, it was still his plan that had flaws and underestimated the combat effectiveness of his own troops.

At this time, Chief of Staff Wu came over with a telegram full of surprise: "Commander-in-chief, good news!" The 1st and 2nd Divisions of the New Fourth Army sent troops to Xianning, and they were soon able to block the retreating Japanese army. Here's a telegram from them! ”

New fourth army!?

The tiger boy was startled, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he snapped and hung up the phone of the old bald head.

The old bald head over there was listening carefully, and he heard someone on the phone say that the New Fourth Army had sent troops to Xianning, which was great news!

He also wanted to ask carefully what was going on, but he didn't expect Tiger Boy to hang up his phone.

This tiger cub is too tiger!

This is the second time he's hung up on himself!

The old bald man reluctantly put down the phone.

But it's understandable, after all, the war there is very energy-consuming.

The old bald man found Xianning's location from the map and squinted his eyes for a while.

The New Fourth Army sent troops to Xianning, and this location was very well chosen.

It was completely capable of blocking the retreat of the Japanese 33rd Division and the Saeda detachment.

As long as the Japanese troops were blocked for a day, Lao Chen's troops and Tiger Boy's troops could arrive.

When the time comes, it will not be a problem to encircle and annihilate this Japanese army.

What a bright flower!

Also looking at the map, there is also a tiger cub.

Xianning is located south of Wuhan and its location is very important.

Two divisions of the New Fourth Army sent troops to Xianning, which greatly admired the tiger boys.

In this way, the plan to encircle and annihilate the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army and the Saeda Detachment could be carried out again.

And Li Lei's new brigade can also rest assured that it can boldly attack Wuhan.

"Order, the Fourth, Fifty-eighth, Twentieth, and Thirty-sixth Armies to advance north at once and pursue the retreating Japanese troops. Together with the troops of the 6th Theater and the New Fourth Army, they surrounded the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army and the Saeda Detachment. ”

As soon as Tiger Boy finished giving the order, the good news came again, Commander Li of the Eighth Army sent a telegram that the 106th Division of the Japanese Army had been annihilated by them.

The commander of the Japanese division, Motegi Okashitage, was killed.

512 Japanese soldiers were captured.

As soon as this telegram came out, the tiger boy was blindfolded.

The 106th Division of the Japanese Army was annihilated like this?

He looked at Lao Wu and couldn't believe it.

Although it is said that the annihilation of the 106th Division is a sure thing, but it has really been done, and that feeling is a bit of a trance.

A stone in my heart finally landed.

Chief of Staff Wu happily said to the tiger boy: "Don't you celebrate? ”

The tiger boy nodded: "It's to celebrate." Then he stabbed and tore up the telegram: "Okay!! ”

It's been so long, and it's the first time that the tiger cub feels so happy.

The 106th Division was annihilated, and their troops could free up their hands to attack Hubei!

"Order, the 8th, 74th, 99th, and 37th armies to advance north at once.

The Eighth Army and the Seventyth Army, crossed the Xinqiang River, and together with the Fourth Army and the Fifty-eighth Army, pursued the Japanese army.

After annihilating the 33rd Division and the Saeda detachment of the Japanese army, they immediately advanced in the direction of Wuhan.

The 99th Army and the 37th Army advanced in the direction of Ruichang and annihilated the Japanese army east of Hubei. ”

The tiger boy was in high spirits and recovered Hubei, and he did it in one fell swoop.

When the tiger boy was dispatched, Li Lei's new brigade had already entered Wuchang.

The Japanese Second Division was defeated and retreated, and street battles began with the New 1st Brigade.

The Japanese army in Hankow was reinforced, but it was a drop in the bucket.

In Hankou, there were not many Japanese troops in the Second Division, but now Wuchang is fighting very hard, and almost all the Japanese troops in Hankou have been transferred to Wuchang.

Although Anan retreated, the 2nd Division was ordered to continue fighting Li Lei's troops at the Three Towns of Wuhan.

At this time, the commander of the Second Division, Isamu Terauchi, was very depressed in his heart.

He was surprised to find that his troops were no match for the other party at all.

Although he had transferred almost all his troops to Wuchang, the Second Division was still unable to defeat the other side in Wuchang.

It's incredible.

A familiar feeling welled up in Yuu Terauchi's heart.

The other party's sharp style of play reminded him of the feeling of being chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

Damn commander, he ran away and actually left my 2nd Division to stay here.

He should know that our division and regiment will not be able to hold the three towns of Wuhan at all.

Chief of Staff Konoe said that judging from the firepower of the other side, there are at least two divisions.

There are also tanks and planes, if you hold on like this, my second division will be completely wiped out!

The chief of staff of the 2nd Division has now run out of ideas.

Their second division, which is distributed throughout Hubei, is now too late to transfer troops from other places.

Even if the time comes, the combat effectiveness will not work.

The 33rd Division and the Saeda Detachment do not know when they will arrive.

In such a bad situation, you can't win at all.

"Division Commander, I think we have to retreat. If we continue to fight, our second division will be completely annihilated.

Now in Hankow and Hanyang, we already have no troops to reinforce.

Wuchang is now fighting very fiercely, and it is in vain to send many troops in the past.

For the sake of the 2nd Division, I advise us to retreat immediately. ”

Teramichi Yong frowned and said, "But the order given to us by the commander is to hold on and wait for help. If we retreat, we will be shot. ”

The current Terauchi Yong misses his time in Shanxi very much, how good it was at that time.

I just sit in my office and move my mouth, and I don't have to worry about it like I do now.

Withdrawal is not retreating, that's a problem.

Liu Hong sent a message to Li Lei that the Japanese train had been hijacked again.

This news surprised Li Lei.

Didn't you say that it would be nice to let them sabotage the railway?

Why was it hijacked again?

That's too dangerous.

Liu Hong did not say anything specific in the telegram, but only said that he and Wang Qiang were driving the train to Hankou, so that Li Lei was ready to respond.

Li Lei immediately ordered Sun Chenghai to launch an attack on Hankou Station, and at the same time, let the two hundred tank soldiers quickly assemble at Hankou Railway Station.

As soon as the train came, the tanks were immediately activated and the Japanese army was attacked.

Sun Chenghai led his troops all the way to the railway station.

The Japanese troops guarding the railway station did not even have a squadron, at most it was a squadron.

If it weren't for the important location of the railway station, the Japanese troops here would have been sent to Wuchang by Terau Yong.

A squad of Japanese troops was no match for Sun Chenghai at all, and in just ten minutes, they were annihilated by Sun Chenghai's troops.

Half an hour later, the two hundred tankers also arrived at the Hankou railway station.

Now it's time for Liu Hong's tank.

The tankmen were very excited, and on the way they were told that they would start the battle against the Japanese as soon as they received the tanks.

Now Wuchang is more troublesome.

The street fighting made the advance of the new 1st Brigade a little slow.

Li Lei's demand is that Wuchang must be completely occupied before it gets dark today.

If these tanks were available, plus the original twenty, the Japanese army in Wuchang would be able to be crushed in minutes.

Two hours later, a smoky train whined into Hankou Station.

The train driver is none other than Wang Qiang.

At this time, Wang Qiang was proud, with a smile on his face.

This harvest is too great.

As soon as he jumped down, Sun Chenghai and a group of soldiers surrounded him: "Lao Wang, how is the tank?" ”

Wang Qiangle said happily: "What's the hurry? Tank: Isn't that on a train? Hurry up and let the comrades drive down. ”

Wang Qiang pointed: "This is the first train, and there is another one behind, which Liu Hong drives." It's coming soon. ”

When the tankmen saw that the train was full of tanks, their eyes straightened.

Without saying a word, he immediately jumped on the train and drove the tank down.

Soon, Liu Hong's train also arrived, and it was also full of tanks.

Liu Hong jumped off the train, and Fu Sun Chenghai said: "A total of one hundred and thirty tanks." All of them are new guys, not to mention Wuhan, even the whole of Hubei, no problem! ”

Sun Chenghai's face twitched, with so many tanks, I feel like I can hit the mainland of the island country!

Soon, one hundred and thirty tanks drove into Wuchang.

From the west, a crushing attack began on the Japanese army.
