The commander of the 231st Wing, Oura Ginjiro, held a command knife in his hand, hiding under a rock, the shells exploded all around, on the hillside, the blue sky and the white Japanese flag guided the Chinese soldiers all over the mountains to charge to the top of the mountain, the Japanese soldiers who held on to the mountain were no longer able to counterattack, and there were constantly soldiers rolling down the hillside with grenades, and the sound of explosions rolled up the blood mist in the sky. /.0M\\

Oura Ginjiro saw several retreating Chinese soldiers being shot on the spot by the officers who were supervising the battle behind him, which was rare in the past. Miura exhaled turbid air, and the squadron showed a strong determination to keep them here.

The wing collapsed in a single day and fell into a situation of annihilation, Oura's heart was both sad and unconvinced, his wing had more than 3,800 men according to its establishment, but in fact it was only 3,500 men, and it had not been able to replenish its strength since the last battle. In this offensive, the wing has always served as the vanguard, although the battle is not fierce, but the loss of more than 600 people, but this unit of less than 3,000 men, just yesterday still maintained an offensive posture, the gap between the brigades is as high as two kilometers, the Chinese made full use of these gaps, at the beginning of the counterattack resolutely penetrated into the depth, with absolute superiority, launched an attack from all sides, in just one night, the entire wing was divided and surrounded, and the fight to this day is thanks to the heroism of the soldiers.

"It's over, it's all over."

There are less than 100 soldiers on the position, but there are thousands of Chinese soldiers who can attack, and the ammunition is basically exhausted.

"Ume Ze-kun, please." Oura bowed his head to Umezawa, the chief of staff, Umezawa was expressionless, Oura pulled out his command knife, wiped the blade clean with his shirt, and then inserted it into his stomach, Umezawa didn't say a word, cut off his head with a knife, and then pulled out a gun and committed suicide.

At this moment, the sound of killing broke through the sky, and the blue sky and white Japanese army flag jumped to the top of the mountain.

The inn, the outer defense line was lost on all fronts. All the surrounding mountains were controlled by the squadron.

The 231st Wing of the Northern Front was completely annihilated, and the three divisions of the 102nd Army were divided into three routes and pressed down from the Northern Front.

In the 232nd Wing to the east, Wing Commander Shizuzue Ichiosa Hori was killed, and the remnants of the unit, led by the captain Nakasa, trapped Mama Peak and were besieged by the 1021st Brigade of the New 21st Division. The main force of the 78th Army continued to attack the inn.

After the 36th Division abandoned Yangji, it turned around and went north, and attacked the inn from the south with the 127th Division of the 45th Army.

The shells exploded all over the town, the whole inn shook, and the two soldiers fled to the town with a shout, Yuan He was very helpless, these soldiers were sappers and baggage soldiers who rarely went to the battlefield, and they could still fight when the battle was smooth, but when they tested their perseverance, the gap between them and the veterans with rich combat experience appeared.

An officer ventured out of cover to stop the two soldiers, but before they could react, the shell exploded nearby with a screech, sending several figures flying into the air.

As soon as the bombardment stopped, the sharp charge horn sounded, the tide-like figure rushed down from the hillside, the machine gun sound like a storm bean sounded, the figures rushing in front fell one after another, and the figures behind still swarmed up, Yuan He rushed to the machine gun and personally commanded the machine gun to fire.

The soldiers on the attack line lay down one after another, several soldiers quickly set up 60 mortars, and the shells quickly exploded on the machine gun position, Yuan He felt his body fly into the air, his mouth was shouting, but he couldn't hear his own voice.

At this moment, Guo Xunqi, the commander of the 102nd Army, was standing on the hill outside the town, and the telescope was closely following the attacking soldiers, the troops had rushed into the town, and the Japanese army was retreating one after another.

"Half an hour to end the battle." Guo Xunqi put down the binoculars and coldly ordered, the follow-up troops have rushed in, and the annihilation of the 39th Division is beyond doubt.

Victory was in hand, but Guo Xunqi was not easy in his heart, occupying the inn five hours later than expected, and Zhuang Jihua's telegram urged again and again, indicating that he was still worried about the development of the entire battle situation.

Half an hour later, the gunfire in the town subsided, and Sun Zhen's telegram also arrived, ordering the 102nd Army to immediately move south to Zhongxiang, occupy the line of Chunde Mountain, Sibu Battalion, Wuguanchong, and Guobatai in the northeast of Zhongxiang, establish a blocking position, and cut off the way for Kanda to flee south.

The 45th Army and the 41st Army marched westward in two ways, the 45th Army directly reinforced the 125th Division in Changshou Town, and the 41st Army went straight to Yangzi Town. These two armies blocked Kanda's westward escape.

Judging from this deployment, Zhuang Jihua is not worried at all that Kanda is not over the river, there are three armies west of the Han River, if Kanda flees along the south of the river, the four armies on the east bank will be intercepted along the river, and the 101st Army on the west bank will also follow and pursue, now is not 1940, the first squadron in the sky and on the ground has the advantage, and it is impossible for Kanda to escape from the Yangtze River.

In addition, the task of pursuing the 58th Division that fled south was entrusted to Song Xilian's 36th Group Army, and the entire 50th Group Army turned to block the 104th Division that was advancing westward for reinforcements, and the 33rd Group Army turned from defense to attack, dragging the 2nd Mixed Brigade.

On the northern front, Sun Lianzhong commanded the two armies of the Second Army and the two armies of the 21st Group Army to launch wave after wave of attacks on Xinyang. Further north, Fan Hanjie replaced defense with attack, with the First Tank Division as the vanguard, launched an attack on Queshan, and the 48th Army swept through southern Henan, continuously conquering Shangcheng Xinxian, and the front of the troops approached Guangshan Huangchuan.

The entire northern Hubei and southern Henan wars were raging, and the squadron changed the passive situation in the past, and completely attacked the Japanese army with an attitude of active challenge, while the Japanese army was passive everywhere and was beaten everywhere.

The great changes in the war situation in northern Hubei and the earthquake in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito urgently summoned Hideki Tojo and the generals of the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp, and the emperor's concern and the possibility of encountering a defeat that had never been achieved since the establishment of the Japanese Army, Hideki Tojo had an unprecedented fear that if he lost this battle, not only his position as prime minister was likely to be lost, but the war was likely to turn around.

"You are the Prime Minister, the Minister of War, or the Chief of the General Staff, what can you do about such a situation?" Hirohito's voice was still so soft, but Tojo listened to it with every word, and he kept wiping the sweat from his head.

"Your Majesty, the base camp has already made a decision, it has decided to stop the operation in New Guinea, stop the operation in Burma, transfer three divisions from the Soviet Russian battlefield, two divisions from the Nanyang battlefield, and then form two divisions in the country, a total of seven divisions to reinforce the China battlefield."

Hirohito frowned slightly: "Is there no other way besides these?" ”

Tojo understood what Hirohito meant in his heart, but he couldn't intersect, since the Lugou Bridge Incident, he was a resolute main battle faction, resolutely the main battle to punish China, and not long ago he resolutely vetoed Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro's proposal to negotiate peace with the Chongqing government, and now let him propose peace talks, which is tantamount to admitting that he was all wrong before.

"Tojo still can't look like he can save the situation." After Hideki Tojo left, Hirohito said to Kido with a sigh.

Of course, Kido knew the imperial intentions very well, and he hurriedly relieved: "Your Majesty, for the time being, this can only be the case, let's wait until after this battle." ”

Hirohito was silent, and Kido also understood what he meant, the Northern Hubei War was facing failure, and the others would never come to the fire at this time, and this responsibility could only be borne by Tojo.

"There are brothers in the four seas, but there are swords and soldiers everywhere." Hirohito recited his grandfather's verses again, and Kido looked at his back with a complicated gaze.

A day later, the Tokyo base camp successively issued orders to transfer the 5th, 9th, and 20th divisions of the Kwantung Army, and the 2nd and 10th divisions from the southern army to the China battlefield, in addition, the base camp ordered the formation of the 137th Division in the mainland, the 138th Division, the 139th Division, and the 140th Division in the northeast, and the 141st Division in Korea.

While Tokyo was preparing for a rainy day, Chongqing was nervously concerned about the changes in the battlefield situation, and Chiang Kai-shek sent several telegrams in succession, asking the generals of all departments to act quickly to annihilate Kanda on both sides of the Han River.

Chiang Kai-shek was a little depressed during this time, because since last year he began negotiations with the United States and Britain to abolish the unjust treaties that had existed since 1840 and to recover all the concessions, including Hong Kong. The negotiations were extremely difficult, especially for the British, who refused to return Hong Kong, and eventually Chiang Kai-shek had to give in and agreed to put the Hong Kong issue on hold for the time being, but just before an agreement was reached, Wang Ching-wei preemptively signed the Sino-Japanese New Treaty with Japan, and Japan decided to return all concession customs to China, including Hong Kong, although for now, the Japanese army did not occupy Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

The "Sino-Japanese New Testament" robbed Chiang Kai-shek of the scenery, and Chiang Kai-shek was furious, consciously believing that there must be an intelligence leak here, and strictly ordered Dai Li to track down the leaker. Now that the victory in northern Hubei is imminent, it will be a greater victory, a greater scenery, and Chiang Kai-shek is watching the progress of the war with greater enthusiasm.

Chiang Kai-shek's attention and Zhuang Jihua's strict orders were directly reflected on the battlefield, and the war on both sides of the Han River became more intense.

The 6th Division led by Kanda forcibly crossed the Hanshui under the attack of the Chinese Air Force, and the 6th Division was worthy of being the elite of the Japanese army, even in the case of great losses, the 36th Brigade that crossed the river first still conquered Ganjiazui and Pumen Gang, and repelled the 373rd Brigade of the 125th Division, after Kanda led the 11th Brigade to cross the river, he conquered the smoke bulb, Gaotaizi, and blacksmith slope, and the 375th Brigade of the 125th Division retreated to Shujiashan and Xujiaba, and the 374th Brigade concentrated the main force to defend the line of the Fire Temple.

At Yujianao Ferry, the 17th Division also forcibly crossed the Hanshui at a huge cost, occupied Zhongshankou, and pressed over the flank of the 375th Brigade, and the 375th Brigade was forced to abandon Shujiashan and retreat to Wannian Temple, and the line of Tongjiashan continued to block.

The main forces of the 6th and 17th Divisions crossed eastward, and the most direct reaction was the immediate change in the battle on the west bank of the Han River.
