At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Suzhou and Lingbi also launched a large-scale attack. Vertex. Fastest updates

The tactic was still to plow the enemy's front two or three times with bombers, then helicopter gunships, then tanks, and finally infantry charges.

This kind of attack strength and attack formation, not to mention the civil fortifications built by the little devils temporarily, even if it is a permanent fortification built of reinforced concrete, it is not enough to see, especially the island army has completely lost air supremacy, the entire sky belongs to the squadron, and the ground equipment is not at the same level, it will be hellish if they can hold the defensive line.

In less than an hour, the entire defense line of the enemy's Bozhou and Lingbi completely collapsed.

The purpose of the Black Tiger's 1st Tank Division, the 27th Group Army, the Women's Division, the New Fourth Division and other troops marched straight in, and their purpose was to quickly occupy Dangshan and Peixian, cut off the Longhai Railway, and at the same time form an encirclement posture to the west of Xuzhou, forcing the main force of the Island Army to go east to the Jinpu line.

The purpose of the other two tank divisions was even clearer, to advance directly to Xuzhou, but not to occupy Xuzhou, but to carry the rout of the island country all the way to the north to attack, until they were chased to the edge of the Yellow River.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xuzhou.

The defense line of the island army was devastated, and Xuzhou, the largest rear, was already in chaos, and the streets and alleys were like flowing water.

Although the troops have entered the stage of a major retreat since yesterday, hundreds of thousands of troops have been pouring down from the front line like a tide in just two or three days, and the degree of crowding can be imagined, especially when all kinds of urgent telegrams from the front flew to the rear like snowflakes, and there was even more panic up and down.

In order to allow the troops to get out of the city quickly, the island army even pushed a large area of civilian houses and used explosives to blast open a section of the city wall to "discharge the flood".

A large number of troops began to flee rapidly along the two main railway lines of the Longhai Railway and the Jinpu Railway.

Among them, several divisions of the 12th Army of the Island Army, which had just jumped out of the encirclement, retreated all the way east along the Longhai Railway.

Except for two divisions of the Tenth Army on the original Xuzhou defensive line, all the other troops retreated all the way north along the Jinpu line.

A large number of expatriates, Shunmin and even a part of the Imperial Cooperative Army troops retreated along the west bank of Weishan Lake to Peixian and Yutai under the control of a small number of regular troops, so that the safety of these expatriates and Shunmin can be ensured without affecting the retreat of large troops, after all, the main purpose of the first is the troops, not these people.

Okamura Ningci is not a mallet, ** menacing, he knows that he can't resist, and the retreat is divided into three ways, and even orders all the troops to drop their baggage and retreat at full speed, as for all kinds of materials and equipment that can not be taken away in the Xuzhou area, the destruction that can be destroyed, and the destruction that is too late to destroy does not matter, he only wants to leave these elite soldiers at the moment, and this is also the ultimatum of the island army base camp to Okamura Ningji.

The island army is already short of supplies, and to make this decision at the moment can definitely be called a "strong man breaking his wrist".

The island army has been entrenched in Hubei, Henan and Anhui for several years, and the various materials looted, the various mineral resources that are forcibly occupied and dug are not known, and the investment is also a huge number. I'm afraid I won't be able to accumulate such a large amount of equipment in a few months, and the island army will also say that it will be lost, which is a bit abnormal, and everything seems to reveal a trace of weirdness.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Jinan, the former enemy headquarters of the island army.

Although the defeat all the way ahead, it is not an exaggeration to say that the army has been defeated, but what is strange is that the command of the island army seems to be a little calmer than a few days ago, and the atmosphere is not so depressing.

The radio and telephone were busy, and the messages from all over the place were flying like snowflakes, and there was almost no good news, but although the staff officers and generals who were shuttling through them were in a hurry, they could not see a trace of panic.

Especially Okamura Ningji, it stands to reason that he should be jumping up and down like a turtle grandson at this time, but at this moment he is actually sitting on the chair peacefully, although his brows are tightly locked, his face is not very good-looking, but he can't see a trace of anxious expression, as if everything is confident.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Okamura Ninji sighed and said, "The main force of Xuzhou has finally left the city, and the three divisions after the break may not have this opportunity, and we have lost too badly in this battle?" ”

The deputy chief of staff on the side, Kinoshita, said: "Old sir, there is an old Chinese saying, 'If you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood', and now as long as the main forces of the First Army, the Tenth Army, and the Twelfth Army successfully withdraw from Henan and Shandong and cross the Yellow River, I believe that the locust army will soon make a comeback, and the blood of the imperial warriors will not be shed in vain." ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamura Ninji nodded, and seemed to agree with Isamu Kinoshita's point of view, but in the current situation, I don't know where they got this strong self-confidence.

Okamura Ninji then said, "Where is the First Army now?" ”

Kinoshita Yong said: "They began to retreat from Shangqiu and Heze the day before yesterday, and they called back an hour ago, the outpost troops have passed Yuncheng, and it is estimated that they can reach Jinan within two days." ”

"How is the preparation of the 42nd Army in the direction of Zhengzhou?" Okamura asked again.

"It's all ready, a large amount of explosives have been placed on the Yellow River Bridge, just wait for all the troops to cross the Yellow River tonight and it will detonate, it's just ......" Kinoshita Yong hesitated for two seconds, and then said: "It's just the old sir, I heard that the army Wei Lihuang Department did not move closer to Zhengzhou at all, that is to say, they have no intention of attacking Zhengzhou at all, and at the moment, only the two group armies in the direction of Kaifeng are marching towards Zhengzhou with all their might, is it necessary for us to retreat?" Wouldn't it be much easier to leave this bridgehead behind for a counteroffensive in the future? ”

Okamura Ningji smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about Zhengzhou, I'm afraid it's difficult to hold Shanxi right now, if my guess is right, the Wei Li Imperial Department is only afraid that it is already on the way to Fenglingdu at this time, Shanxi's Yan Xishan Department raided Yuncheng two days ago, just so that they can cross the Yellow River from Fengling smoothly, Jiang Haoran, the little fox, has already calculated that we will blow up the Yellow River Bridge in Zhengzhou, so he doesn't plan to pass from here at all, but he has to bite this piece of fat in Shanxi." ”

"Hiss......" Kinoshita Yong gasped, and was just about to say something more when Chief of Staff Ishihara Waner strode in with the smell of gunsmoke.

Okamura Ninji hurriedly got up and shouted, "Ishihara-kun, is the Luokou Yellow River Railway Bridge okay?" ”
