"We also agree with what the commander of the first division said, Okamura Ningji will definitely take into account Nanjing's comfort and choose to make a big counterattack." The other staff officers said one after another.

"Well, your analysis is very reasonable, and I personally think that the devil may also come back to deal with us. As for what Commander Bian said about going north, it is not impossible, it depends on the decision of the old boy Okamura Ningji. Chen Jinghui expressed his opinion.

"Now let's talk about what we should do if the devils stop attacking Wuhan and aim all their troops at us." Chen Jinghui asked.

"Hmm!! Army commander, if the devils really fight back, in view of the huge disparity in our forces, I think we should ask Commander Chiang for help, and ask him to send troops to contain some of the devils' forces when the devils retreat, so as to relieve our pressure. In that case, maybe we can find a loophole. The first division commander said.

"Yes, in this case, Commander Chiang must take action, otherwise we will be in danger." Bian Guo said.

"I don't think we should have much hope for Commander Jiang's side, although I believe in Commander Jiang, but I don't believe in those under him." A staff officer said.

"Yes, there are many factions under Commander Jiang, and their own people will not support each other, let alone us!" Another staff officer said.

"Hmmm! You all have a point. In this case, you go out first, and let me think about it. ”

Chen Jinghui dismissed the others, and then looked at the map by himself, touching it with one hand and thinking about it. In the middle of the night, he hurriedly ate something, then looked at the map and some information, and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Commander, commander, it's dawn." Zhang Erzhu, the commander of the first division, came to him and gently retreated from him a few times.

"Well, it's dawn."

Chen Jinghui was pushed awake, and he felt that he hadn't slept much. But in fact it was indeed dawn, and he looked at his watch, and it was half past five in the morning.

"Order the troops to have dinner at six o'clock, and launch the siege campaign on time at half past six." As soon as he sobered up, he gave instructions.

"Open fire."

Boom Boom Boom ...... Squeaky ......

With the sound of artillery, the battle to capture the new spring began. But at this moment, the devils on the city wall are still having breakfast.

"Baga, don't let people live."

The devil guard on the city gate saw the flying fox attacking the city, he threw down the food in his hand, complained depressedly, and then quickly looked for a place to avoid the shelling.

Boom, boom, boom, ah......

Dense cannonballs fell on the city wall, and the devils who were blown up fled in all directions, and many people were huddled together, hiding in the dead corners of the city wall. However, there were still many people who were blown up by the shells, some were directly blown up, and some were directly blown out by the air wave generated by the explosion, and fell directly outside the city wall and fell to their deaths.

"Baga, quickly send a report to the headquarters and ask for reinforcements."

Early in the morning, the enemy's attack was so ferocious, and the commander of the Devil Brigade felt that it was difficult for Xianchun to hold on with his remaining men, and began to send telegrams to the headquarters asking for help.

But no matter how many telegrams he sent, no reinforcements arrived. Although the headquarters said that reinforcements had been sent, they just couldn't see it.

"Baga, hold it off for me, quick, you guys go over there, quick."

There was no way, the commander of the Devil Brigade could only continue to carry it to the death, hoping that the reinforcements could arrive before the loss of the new spring.

"Report, the new spring is urgent, they are about to be overwhelmed." The communications corps reported to the lieutenant general.

"Baga, go and urge the reinforcements to support the new spring, let them speed up and open the gap and reinforce the new spring." The lieutenant general ordered anxiously.

"Report, the troops sent to reinforce the new spring report that they have been blocked by a large number of opponents, and they are unable to advance at all, and the troops have already suffered a third of the casualties." Signal Corps Report.

"Nani? The losses are so great. The lieutenant general said incredulously.

"Oh no, General, the troops we sent to reinforce Yingshan last night were ambushed, and more than half of them were lost. Last night, the enemy had taken Yingshan, and now his troops were under Luotian City. A staff officer hurriedly ran in and said.

"Nani, he was ambushed again, and Yingshan was already lost last night, why didn't you report such an important situation last night."

The devil lieutenant general was completely crazy, and overnight, the entire battle situation became a one-sided trend, and all his own deployments were calculated by the enemy.

"It was reported that Luo Tian was attacked by a large number of Chinese troops, and they asked for reinforcements."

While Lieutenant General Devil was thinking about countermeasures, another signal soldier reported that Luo Tian had been attacked. This series of "good" news made the devil lieutenant general almost collapse.

"Baga, Baga, Bang Lala......"

The huge pressure he couldn't release, so he threw all the things on the table to the ground, making a clattering sound.

"General, Xianchun and Luo Tian are still waiting for rescue." The staff officer reminded.

"Yaga, I know. Send a report to Nanjing and report the situation here, quickly. ”

Originally, he thought he could handle this sudden change, but he thought that he would become like this overnight. He felt that he could no longer handle such a predicament, so he decided to immediately ask Okamura Ninji in Nanjing for help.

"Yaga, Yaga, Ikeda, you're a stupid pig, and such an important battle report is now coming in. Baga, I'm going to take you to a court-martial. ”

When Okamura Ninji saw Lieutenant General Ikeda's telegram, his brain buzzed, and he sat down in his chair in anger. It took him a long time to come to his senses, and his eyes were glazed looking at the map of Anhui and Wuhan.

"Yaga, Yaga, damn flying fox, why are you there." Okamura Ningji scolded.

"Your Excellency Commander, there are more than 100,000 of our troops on the battlefield in Wuhan, and if Xianchun and Luo Tian are lost, we will have no way to retreat."

The chief of staff next to him saw that Okamura Ninji had been scolding and did not make substantive movements, so he immediately stepped forward to remind him.

"Yaga, I know. Immediately ordered the 21st Division to launch an attack on Qianshan, be sure to take Qianshan, and then follow the line of Taihu, Susong, and Huangmei, and attack them from the rear of the Flying Fox. Okamura Ninji ordered.

However, Chen Jinghui had already made arrangements, and as soon as the 21st Division moved, Wang Dabao's Second Division immediately got the news and began to wait in Qianshan. When the 21st Division arrived outside Qianshan City, it was immediately fiercely blocked by the 2nd Division, and it was unable to advance half a step for a while.

"Report, the 21st Division reported that they were blocked by troops of about a brigade of the enemy in Qianshan and could not advance at all." The chief of staff handed a telegram from the 21 Division to Okamura Ninji.

"Yaga, order them to go on the offensive and must crush the enemy's line within a day. Ordered Anqing's troops to be dispatched immediately and interspersed along the Yangtze River. Okamura Ninji ordered again.

But his luck was really bad, it just so happened that Chen Jinghui thought of this problem a day earlier, and made the deployment. When Anqing's troops reached the outside of Wangjiang City, they were also blocked by a regiment of the Provisional Second Division. Moreover, after receiving the news of the dispatch of the devils in Anqing, the troops left behind in Taihu Lake also immediately moved closer to the Wangjiang area, and blocked the devils in Anqing to the east of the Wangjiang River.

"It is reported that Anqing's troops have also been blocked by a large number of enemies, and they are also unable to advance half a step." The chief of staff took the telegram and reported to Okamura Ninji again.

"Baga, Baga, there are not many of them from there. A large number of enemies appeared in Wangjiang, Qianshan, Luotian, and Xianchun. Baga, ordered the troops on the Wuhan front to stop the offensive and wait for orders. Okamura Ninji commanded helplessly.

"Nani? If you want to stop attacking Wuhan, the base camp will not agree. When the chief of staff heard Okamura Ninji's order, he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

"Baga, continue to attack Wuhan, do you think we still have the ability to continue to attack Wuhan now? If Luotian, Xianchun, and Xishui in the back are lost, our troops attacking Wuhan will be completely surrounded by the Flying Fox and Chongqing, will there be a chance at that time? Okamura Ninji shouted excitedly.

"But we have more than 100,000 troops there, and it is impossible not to break through." said the chief of staff.

"Yaga, do you know how strong the Flying Fox is in battle? They are not the troops on the Chongqing side, they can completely fight us 1:1, and even we need 1.5:1 to barely have a draw with them, you know! Okamura shouted.

"Nani, when did such a strong force appear in China." said the chief of staff.

"You're newly transferred from the base camp, of course you don't know. The gang of bigwigs in the base camp know that they are sitting at home and commanding, let me tell you, the current Chinese troops are very different from the previous ones, and their combat power is constantly rising, you know! Okamura Ninji lowered his voice a little and said.

"So what are we going to do now?" The chief of staff asked.

"Let's stop attacking Wuhan first!" Okamura Ninji said helplessly.

On Chen Jinghui's side, the battle has been relatively smooth since the morning began. At noon, the 1st Division and the Independent Division had breached the city of Xianchun, and were now clearing the city of remnants of the enemy.

"Report, Division Commander Liu reported that they have successfully taken Luotian."

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, just after the battle on the Xianchun side ended, Liu Changjiang's third division brought Luo Tian's good news.

"Okay, hahaha......"

Chen Jinghui laughed happily when he heard that Luo Tian had successfully won it.

"Order the third division, leave one regiment to defend Luotian, and the other troops to set up defensive positions northeast of Xishui. Zhang Erzhu and the border country, you also immediately set off to Xishui and set up a defensive position in the southeast. Remember, leave a defensive force for the new spring. Chen Jinghui ordered.

At this point, with the successive losses of Luo Tian and Xianchun, Chen Jinghui finally completed the purpose of encircling and attacking the Wuhan devils, and completely ended their retreat to the east into Anhui.
