"Conspiracy?"

As soon as he heard Jing Shuxuan talk about this, Ji Jia Ryosuke suddenly remembered that the Dingyuan defenders had countercharged three miles before, but the other party's artillery destroyed the command headquarters, making them evacuate in embarrassment.

Thinking of this, Ryosuke Yoshika suddenly narrowed his eyes, and there was a look of wariness in his eyes.

Hearing that the Chinese army was out of the city, Yoshika Ryosuke really wanted to send troops to kill it in order to vent his hatred, but as soon as he heard the word conspiracy, Yoshika Ryosuke hesitated!

The previous tragic price made him more vigilant and suspicious.

made him a little afraid to make a decision easily.

"Jing Shujun, what do you think?" Ryosuke Yoshika asked suddenly.

Hearing the culture, Jing Shuxuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Ji Jia Ryosuke's face, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to my thoughts, it's better for us not to deal with each other for the time being!" ”

"Oh? Tell me why! Ryosuke Yoshika's face was calm, and he couldn't see any expression.

Jing Shuxuan organized the language and said in a deep voice: "At present, our Ninth Division has suffered heavy losses, and it can be said that the combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced by nearly two-thirds. Therefore, this has to make us vigilant, our Ninth Division cannot be dispatched without authorization! ”

"In case this is a conspiracy of the Zhina Army, they deliberately went out of the city to lure us to attack, so that our Ninth Division fell into the encirclement of the other party, although we are not afraid, our Ninth Division will definitely be damaged again, this is not a wise choice for us at the moment!"

"So......" Jing Shuxuan said: "So, according to the subordinates, it's better to leave it alone!" After all, the other party is only the strength of a regiment, even if it goes out of the city, it is not a big deal! ”

"And the most important thing for our Ninth Division at present is to cultivate first, and then ask for reinforcements, and then make a plan for Dingyuan!"

Jing Shuxuan's words meant that the problem was to let them cultivate with peace of mind and not meddle in their affairs.

After all, their Ninth Division is different from the past, and it no longer has as much capital as before!

Ji Jia Liangfu also thought about Jing Shuxuan's words seriously, although he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that they really didn't have the ability to toss now!

In case of tossing, if one is not careful, the entire Ninth Division will be damaged!

This is not what Ryosuke Yoshika wants to see!

Therefore, in this case, Ji Jia Ryosuke only made a decision after pondering for a while, and immediately said: "Jing Shujun's words are reasonable! In that case, then hold your arms and leave the other party alone! We are at ease! In addition, Jing Shujun, send a message to the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters, report our situation to them, and ask them to send some additional reinforcements! ”

"Hey!" Jing Shuxuan immediately bowed and saluted, and responded in a deep voice.

At the same time, I also quietly relaxed in my heart.

He was really afraid that the division commander would continue to toss! At present, his 18th Brigade has lost the 36th Wing, and the 19th Brigade has also lost a large number of troops, and more than half of the soldiers have been lost.

However, fortunately, this idea of the division commander was dispelled!

Looking at the back of Jing Shuxuan's departure, Ji Jia Ryosuke sat on a chair, holding a command knife in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a hint of gloom.

Although he dismissed his intention to attack, Yoshika Ryosuke didn't know what was wrong, and there was always a breath in his heart that was difficult to swallow, and he always felt a little unwilling.

"It's a disgusting feeling to watch the enemy leave but not be able to attack!" Ryosuke Kiga muttered.

His eyes opened suddenly, revealing a hint of essence: "But...... Chen Qingzhi, you wait, the battle between us is not over yet! My 9th Division has lost so many soldiers at your hands, and I won't just give up so easily! ”

After speaking, Ryosuke Yoshika closed his eyes again, as if the old monk had settled down.

Ji Jia Liangfu and Jing Shuxuan said these words Chen Qingzhi didn't know, if he knew, I'm afraid he would laugh happily three times.

Because Jing Shuxuan, this person really helped him a lot!

If it weren't for Jing Shuxuan's persuasion, Ji Jia Ryosuke dispelled the idea of attacking, maybe Chen Qingzhi would not have had a chance to harass the Japanese army at all!

Not to mention looking for an opportunity to attack the rear of the Japanese army!

But it was precisely because of Jing Shuxuan's persuasion that the Japanese army lost the opportunity to attack Chen Qingzhi, which led to the defeat of the little devil in the later battle!

Of course, these are all later words, at this time Chen Qingzhi was still leading the troops on the way, and he was still worried about the battle in the Linhuai Pass area in his heart.

And just when Chen Qingzhi was still leading his troops to hurry, the Huai River at this time was already in the midst of a fierce war.

In order to open the Jinpu line as soon as possible and take the battlefield south of Xuzhou, the Japanese army then entangled the living forces of the Central Army north of Xuzhou, so that the Republic of China lost the ability to resist.

In order to deal with the little devils, and also to ensure the safety of the Huai River and consolidate the defensive strength of the southern front, Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater, urgently transferred the 31st Army from Dangshan all the way south to reinforce and resist the Japanese attack together with the 173rd Division under the jurisdiction of the 31st Army.

The 13th Division of the Japanese Army crossed the Huai River at Bengbu and Linhuai Pass respectively, and under the cover of aircraft and artillery, it coordinated with the 3rd Division to launch an attack on the north bank.

The tragic battle to defend the Huai River broke out!

……

Huaihe Linhuai Pass

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of artillery was deafening and continuous.

Countless shells fell in the river, setting off huge waves one after another, blowing up huge water columns, and the waves formed ripples, constantly slapping the river bank.

The little devil rode in a makeshift wooden boat, howling and rushing towards the north bank of the Huai River.

The machine guns mounted on the bow of the ship fired incessantly, and the sound of clattering was incessant, hitting the other side of the river, knocking some weeds into a mess and scattering smoke and dust.

"Da Da Da ......"

Countless bullets shot out, forming a covering suppression on the other side of the river.

"Puff puff ......"

"Boom la la ......"

The bullets swept past, sweeping away all the weeds, directly one layer lower, some stout trees were densely packed with bullet holes, and some bullets hit the dirt, splashing small craters and making a popping sound.

In the face of the fierce firepower of the little devil, the defenders, of course, were not to be outdone, desperately counterattacking the little devil.

Liu Shiyi's commander of the 173rd Division of the 31st Army, He Weizhen, led his troops to garrison the area of Linhuai Pass.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Some shells came from the other side of the river and landed on the defending positions of the 173rd Division, immediately blowing up several large craters, and the fragments of the shells that flew out showed a burst of fire in all directions, hitting the surrounding twenty or so fighters who could not dodge.

These soldiers didn't even have time to scream, and they went limp, and fell on the makeshift sandbag fortifications on the riverbank.
