The Japanese army brazenly used poison gas, and our Taerwan position was lost, and Commander Tang was forced to abandon his position and turn westward, and Gaocheng was occupied by the Japanese invaders.

On the 5th, the Japanese attacked the defenders with the support of aircraft, tanks and artillery fire. The squadron fought bloody battles with the Japanese army on both sides of the Gaocheng River and on the line from Lishan to Jiangjiahe, and on the 6th, it was forced to retreat to the Tianhe estuary and the Gaocheng line. On the seventh day, Suixian fell. On the 8th, the Japanese army broke through the second line of the 84th Army and captured Zaoyang.

On 8 May, the Japanese army in Xinyang attacked Tongbai. Tongbai was stationed in the 119th Division of the 68th Army, and the Commander's Department ordered the 500th Division and the New 501st Division to attack from the flank of the Japanese army in Xinyang to contain the pace of the Japanese army's advance, and strive to flank the Japanese invaders in front and rear with the 68th Army.

The 500 divisions have finally caught up with the general battle again! Gao Quan has been reorganizing his troops since he came back last time, because he knows that he and the 500 divisions will catch up sooner or later in a general battle of this level. The 500 Divisions belonged to the Fifth War Zone, and since the Battle of Xuzhou, the Five War Zones have not stopped. The Henan-Anhui region has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it is impossible to avoid the devils fighting for a large area of these two provinces and fighting a war.

Although the troops suffered heavy losses in previous battles, they did not suffer fundamental injuries each time, and after a short period of reorganization, the 500 Division was still a mighty division, and it had a lot more combat experience than before.

After the battle order arrived, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the division were divided into four parts, lined up in a huge and strict formation, and swept out of Dabie Mountain!

Each brigade is a piece of its own, and the division headquarters and its subordinate teams are another. The 201 Brigade was in front, the Independent Brigade and Zheng Guotai's new 501st Division were covered on the flanks, and after the 500 Brigade was broken, the division headquarters and its direct subordinate team were in the center, and they were firmly in a marching formation. Nokanichiro's 29th Brigade was in front, and Gao Quan's 500 Division followed, like a shadow, behind Nokan.

More than 10,000 people of the 500 division drove out of Dabie Mountain, like a huge monster, following the field survey brigade, to say that there is no pressure on Ye Kanichiro, it is simply impossible. General Yekan has long been annoyed by Gao Quan's troops, but he has never seen it, and now the 500 division has finally revealed its full picture, which really scared Yekan, obediently, why are there so many people in this division?

The 119th Division was not easy to fight, and a 500 division appeared behind him, and this time, it was equivalent to the sudden doubling of the number of enemies in Ye Kan, and General Ye Kan suddenly had a headache.

Gao Quan is still an old tactic, let the reconnaissance battalion and snipers in front of him carry out non-stop harassment of the enemy, if the devils are counterattacked by a large force, get out of the way, let the devils come over and fight again, if a small group of devils comes out, the 201 brigade will go up directly and kill them. The order Nokanichiro received was to attack Kiritaki, and now he was far away from Kiritaki, and he was harassed by Gao Quan halfway.

Annoyed and angry, General Ye Kan once tried to turn the whole army, wanting to defeat Gao Quan in one fell swoop, who knows, when he turned his head here, the 500 divisions of the people twisted faster than him, and before General Ye Kan saw the shadow of the 500 divisions, they had already dodged. For this kind of opponent who will follow behind and fight black guns and dare not fight head-on, General Yekan hates it to death.

Just when Gao Quan was preparing to follow the Field Survey Brigade to Tongbai Mountain, and then work with the 119th Division to give Major General Field Survey an ugly look, a war report was regarded as a great favor to General Field Survey, so that the commander of the Field Survey Brigade ended the suffering of being watched behind his back for a long time.

The war briefing was sent by the theater command to each combat unit on the situation on the entire battlefield. It not only has the movement of the ** troops, but also the numbers and locations of the divisions, regiments, brigades and regiments of the Japanese invaders. ** All commanders at and above the division level have a share, and the original meaning of the theater is that the commanders of the troops can keep abreast of the battlefield situation and make timely adjustments to the tactics of the troops according to this circular.

After Gao Quan got this notice, the adjustment was adjusted, but his adjustment was a bit large, so big that even Chief Li in the war zone couldn't accept it. The only person who welcomed Gao Quan's reaction was probably the commander of the Nokanichiro Brigade.

This is a piece of information that says top secret, but it's actually very ordinary. The numbers of the troops on both sides, as well as the current course of the war, are not a secret at all. It's just that after Gao Quan read it, he was stimulated by a name on the notice, or the number of a unit. This unit is a well-known Class A standing division in the Japanese army, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.

The reason why it is famous is that I believe that all Chinese will not forget the name of this unit, which was one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre, which, together with the Sixth Division, cast a bloody shadow over that world-famous city. This division is a murderer, one of the most concentrated units of perverted murderous demons.

When Gao Quan's 500th Division was still the 500th Brigade, it had already sent people to collect information on the Japanese troops that entered Nanjing in December 1937. The Sixteenth and Sixth Divisions are the well-deserved culprits. Every devil in these two divisions has the blood of the Chinese on his hands! As for Matsui Shigen, an old devil who should be cut with a thousand cuts, Gao Quan can't take care of him now, he just wants to personally send these damn beasts to Hades Lao Tzu when he encounters these opponents on the battlefield.

Gao Quan had in his hand a copy of the "Tokyo Daily News" published in Japan in 1937. In this newspaper there was a full-page report with large illustrations.

With the encouragement of their commanders, two second lieutenant officers of the Nakajima Unit of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, "Toshiaki Mukai" and "Takeshi Noda," agreed with each other to "kill the 100 people first" and agree that when occupying Nanjing, the winner would be whoever killed 100 people first. They killed from Jurong to Tangshan, Mukai Toshiaki killed 89 people, and Noda Takeshi killed 78 people, because they were all under 100, and the "race" continued. At noon on December 10, the two met at the foot of the Purple Mountain, and each other's sabers had been cut off. Noda said he killed 105 people, and Mukai said he killed 106 people. Because it was not clear who had killed 100 people first, it was decided that this competition would not be divided into winners and losers, and that the competition would rematch who would kill 150 Chinese. These atrocities have been serialized in newspapers with pictures and texts, and he has been called "the heroes of the imperial army".

The Japanese newspaper of the day was in Gao Quan's brand new black briefcase. Every time I see this briefcase, my heart stings and I feel uncomfortable. The military intelligence report received today said that after the Japanese 16th Division occupied Zaoyang, it had already entered the vicinity of Shangtun Town. When Gao Quan heard the news, how could he sit still?

It was too late to convene the military meeting, and Gao Quan directly issued an order to the division headquarters in the form of an order: the 500th Division should move westward and go to Shangtun Town to find the 16th Division for a decisive battle!

At the same time, Gao Quan also reported this decision to the commander's department, and telegraphed to Chief Li that the 500th Division took the initiative to ask Ying to go and fight to the death with the 16th Division of the Japanese invaders!
