"Okay, got it. The 1st Division and the Independent Division were ordered to immediately encircle Hefei, and when the 2nd Provisional Division arrived, they immediately launched an attack. Chen Jinghui ordered.

"Yaga, enemy, go and report to Your Excellency the Commander."

The devil in Hefei City saw that the troops of the 1st Division and the Independent Division were encircling Hefei, and he immediately reported to the Hefei Headquarters.

"Report that a large number of Chinese troops have been found outside the city, and they have surrounded Hefei." Staff Officer reported.

"Nani, it's time to get to Hefei so soon. Baga, ordered the defenders to strengthen the defenses. Immediately send a telegram to Nanjing, asking for reinforcements. ”

The commander of Hefei was in a hurry, and while letting the defenders stationed in Hefei strengthen the defense, he began to ask for help from Nanjing.

"Report, Hefei urgently asks for help."

At the Nanjing Command, a staff officer reported to the new commander-in-chief of the Central China Dispatch Army, Nishio Toshizo.

"Nani, surround Hefei. And what about the counties along the way? Nishio asked.

"Hai, all the counties along the way have been lost." The staff officer said.

"Yaga, why are you only reporting now?"

When Nishio Shouzo heard the news, he immediately stood up and cursed, asking them why they had only reported the situation now.

"Hay, we don't know why!" The staff officer lowered his head and said.

"Baga, immediately send a division from the defenders of Nanjing to reinforce Hefei. The air force in Nanjing was ordered to make the most preparations for the reinforcement of Hefei. Nishio Shouzo ordered.

"Hai, but Your Excellency Commander, it seems that the Flying Fox attacking Hefei also has an air force, and it is much more powerful than our planes." The staff officer said.

"Nani? Why I don't know. ”

When Nishio Shouzo heard the news, he immediately froze there as if he had been struck by lightning. He had taken over as the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army for some time, and he didn't even know what kind of troops his opponent had, and he instantly felt that he was a failure.

"Tell me about this flying fox now, right away." Nishio Shouzo said.

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander, this flying fox has nearly 200,000 troops. These include infantry, artillery, tanks, air forces, and a small navy. And their weapons seem to be very advanced, if we were to play 1:1 against them, we should not be opponents. The staff officer said.

"Nani? So powerful. Then how many troops are now surrounding Hefei, immediately go and ask. Nishio Shouzo ordered.

"Report, Hefei report, there are probably two divisions of troops." A few minutes later, the staff officer said.

"Baga, order the defenders of Nanjing to send another brigade to reinforce Hefei with the previous division. In addition, the county town north of Hefei was ordered to immediately gather troops and reinforce Hefei from the back. Nishio Shouzo ordered.

After receiving the order, soon the devil drove a half-division from Nanjing and began to advance in the direction of Quanjiao, reinforcing Hefei through Quanjiao.

"Report, Nanjing Intelligence."

The dispatch of the devil's Nanjing troops was immediately learned by the special combat team members of the Flying Fox in Nanjing, and they immediately passed this information to Chen Jinghui.

"Huh? So quickly, there was actually a half-division. ”

When Chen Jinghui saw the information, he began to worry. The devil's one-and-a-half-division regiment should not be underestimated.

"Come on, send a report to the first and second divisions, and ask them where they are now." Chen Jinghui ordered.

"Report, the first and second divisions have reached a position 30 miles outside Quanjiao County." Staff Report.

"The reinforcements from Devil Nanjing are there now, and it is expected how long it will take to reach Quanjiao County." Chen Jinghui asked.

"According to Nanjing intelligence, the devil is expected to arrive in Quanjiao County in about three hours." The staff officer said.

"Order the 1st Division to immediately divert and rush to the east of Quanjiao to set up defenses to block the reinforcements of the devil Nanjing. Order the 2nd Division to advance at full speed, be sure to take Quanjiao within three hours, and then assist the 1st Division to block the troops in Nanking. Chen Jinghui ordered.

"Ask Chief of Staff Xu where they are now, and how long it will take to reach Feidong." Chen Jinghui said again.

"Report, Chief of Staff Xu said that they are already moving at full speed, and they are expected to arrive in Feidong within three hours, and they will be able to take Feidong in two hours." The staff officer said.

"Tell Chief of Staff Xu if they can hurry up, the reinforcements from the direction of the devil Nanjing have been dispatched. Chen Jinghui said.

"Order full speed ahead and rush to Feidong as soon as possible."

After receiving Chen Jinghui's order, Chief of Staff Xu immediately issued an order to the provisional Second Division, asking the whole division to speed up its pace again.

An hour later, the 1st Division successfully reached the east of Quanjiao, and quickly purchased a proposed defensive position, preparing to block the devil reinforcements in the direction of Nanjing. The second division arrived outside Quanjiao City, completely surrounded Quanjiao County, and then launched a fierce attack.

After an hour and a half of hard work, the 2nd Division took the county seat of Quanjiao, and then quickly moved to the east of Quanjiao, and joined the 1st Division, preparing to block the devil reinforcements in Nanjing to the east of Quanjiao and prevent it from moving forward.

Soon the reinforcements from Nanjing exchanged fire with the 1st and 2nd divisions, and the two sides started a fierce battle at the beginning, and the fight was dark.

"Report, the first and second divisions have successfully taken Quanjiao, and have exchanged fire with the reinforcements from the devil Nanjing." The staff officer told Chen Jinghui the information.

"Where is Chief of Staff Xu now?" Chen Jinghui asked.

"The provisional Second Division led by Chief of Staff Xu has arrived outside Feidong County ten minutes ago, and is now encircling Feidong County, preparing to attack Feidong in an hour." The staff officer said.

"An hour, yes. But he told Chief of Staff Xu that he must take Feidong before five o'clock in the afternoon, and complete the plan to encircle Hefei before seven o'clock. Chen Jinghui said.

Boom Boom Boom ......

An hour later, the Battle of Feidong of the Provisional Second Division began, and they used powerful artillery fire to suppress the troops guarding Feidong on the city wall, and then stormed the east gate of Feidong. After two hours of fighting, Chief of Staff Xu took the county seat of Feidong.

"It is already half past five in the afternoon, and the troops are ordered to advance to Hefei immediately, and the encirclement of Hefei must be completed before seven o'clock."

Although he successfully won Feidong, it exceeded the time given by Chen Jinghui. Chief of Staff Xu looked at his watch and knew that the delay would affect Chen Jinghui's battle plan. Therefore, regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers, he ordered the soldiers to immediately drive and rush to Hefei.

"Report, the provisional second division has completed the encirclement of the east of Hefei, and Chief of Staff Xu said that he will come to the headquarters in a while." The staff officer said.

"Commander, I didn't affect your plans!"

At about 7:40 p.m., Chief of Staff Xu hurriedly came to the front headquarters, and he was most worried that he would affect Chen Jinghui's battle plan, so he asked as soon as he arrived.

"Hehe, you arrived at just the right time. How about it, the warriors don't complain! Chen Jinghui asked.

"If there is any complaint, they are embarrassed." Chief of Staff Xu said.

"Hehe, don't talk about that. Now the 1st and 2nd Divisions have been exchanging fire with a half-division regiment from Nanjing for half a day. The devil's offensive is very fierce, and it is estimated that he received a death order and vowed to reinforce Hefei. So there is not much time left for us, and I am ready to launch a campaign against Hefei tonight. Chen Jinghui said.

"I agree, you have to do it quickly, otherwise there will be a lot of variables." Chief of Staff Xu said.

"That's good, wait for you to rest after eating, and then rush back to the temporary second division. Your mission is to prevent the devils from retreating eastward, and at the same time make a feint attack on Hefei. The officers and men of the Third Division and the Independent Division on this side have already rested and will be the main attack. Chen Jinghui said.

"Okay, agreed. The soldiers on my side are now too tired to do anything, and if they continue to attack the city with great intensity, I am afraid that it will be half the effort. Chief of Staff Xu said.

Next, the two discussed some details, and then Chief of Staff Xu had dinner and rested for half an hour before hurrying back to the provisional Second Division.

"Is there any news from Huang Erwa?" At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Jinghui asked.

"Report, not yet." Said the communications officer.

"Is there any news, now." At half past eleven, Chen Jinghui asked again.

"Report no."

Di Di Di ......

"Here, I'll translate right away." As soon as the communications soldier finished speaking, the telegraph went off. Seeing this situation, the communications soldiers were anxious to record it immediately.

"Report, Captain Huang reports, the enemy's deployment has been clearly detected." Five minutes later, the communications corps reported.

"Okay, order all troops to enter the battle position at once and attack the city on time at 12 o'clock." Chen Jinghui ordered.

"Open fire."

At twelve o'clock in the evening, with the order of the artillery commander, the artillery of the two divisions immediately opened fire. It's just that they didn't aim at the position outside Hefei City, but in a dense forest on the right side of Hefei City.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The shell exploded in the middle of the dense forest, causing an even bigger explosion in an instant. And the explosions were incessant, as if the ammunition depot had been detonated.

"Baga, quickly order the artillery to evacuate there, tow away all the guns that can be towed, quickly"

A devil's major general began to shout from the position, he knew that the enemy was attacking his own artillery position.

"Baga, all enter the position and prepare for battle."

When he finished giving the order, he saw that the soldiers were all looking up at the position of the artillery position, completely unaware that the enemy was about to attack. Angry, he immediately ordered all his soldiers to enter the trenches and prepare to block the enemy's attack.

Boom......

Soon the artillery stopped shelling the devil artillery in the dense forest, and then began to adjust the direction, preparing to assist the infantry in the attack.

"Hayakou, Hayakou"

As soon as the artillery stopped, the brigade commander of the devil became even more anxious. If it stops, it means that this side is about to be shelled. But now most of the soldiers are still rushing to their combat positions, and if they are shelled, the losses can be imagined.
