The second mixed brigade retreated to the north, this move was also unexpected by Zhuang Jihua, at first I thought it was Anan's only plan to lure the enemy, Du Yuming commanded the 60th Army to follow up slowly, and the pressure on the 104th Division was not great, but in the next two days, Zhuang Jihua saw clearly that the Third Division went south. The whole book

The battle on the northern front also made Zhuang Jihua not very satisfied, the Fifth Army made every effort to block Gu Shoufu and the southbound troops of North China, and the two sides launched a fierce battle north of Queshan, but Sun Lianzhong commanded the Second Army and the 21st Army to attack Xinyang, the progress was still slow, and the Seventh Army was stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army, and after conquering Pingqiao, the progress was slow.

"After the 60th Army is transferred back, the 104th Division will be able to fully meet Toshima," Xu Zuyi thought about and said: "The pressure on the 31st Army is too great, you see if the 7th Army is transferred south to reinforce Wushengguan." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded: "Okay, just do it, you have to drag Toshima and Suzuki, Anan Weiji's purpose is to take the Third Division south, and then to meet Kanda to break through, Anan Weiji thinks very beautifully." ”

War is like this, every change on the battlefield represents the commander's decision-making, the soldiers of the two armies fight for courage and will, and the commander fights for wisdom.

"Bazimen, just go to one division of the Sixty Army," Xu Zuyi then suggested: "Cultural Revolution, once Kanda completely breaks through the 125th Division and enters Huashang, it is possible to advance east and south, draw two divisions from the Sixty Army and place them in Tianmen Ridge, which is the only way for Kanda to advance eastward." ”

Zhuang Jihua pondered for a while, and a smile appeared on his face: "The staff is smart, so do it." ”

The two walked around in the backyard, Gong Xiuhua came over with a food box, and when they saw them, they complained angrily, Zhuang Jihua and Xu Zuyi did not defend themselves, the two sat down and ate breakfast with pickles, and Gong Xiuhua put the coat on Zhuang Jihua.

"Did Chen Cixiu send a telegram? How did He Shengqiao play? Zhuang Jihua drank a few sips of porridge and asked the palace embroidery.

"No, it's still yesterday's news." Gong Xiuhua replied.

Chen Cheng personally supervised the battle, Xue Yue waved his army to storm Hesheng Bridge, Aoki Chengyi took advantage of the terrain and held on to it, the two sides fought fiercely, Xue Yue saw that the frontal attack could not be stopped, so he ordered the 19th Group Army to go out of the northeast of Xianning, and attack and advance to Mengjiashan and Jinniu Town; The 10th Army and the 52nd Army were ordered to capture Jiayu, and then move east along the south bank of the Yangtze River to flank the defenders of Hesheng Bridge.

As soon as Xue Yue pulled the battlefield away, Aoki Chengichi's troops suddenly felt insufficient, and repeatedly asked Anan Yuji for help, and Anan Yuji had no choice but to transfer the advance team of the 15th Division and the Hashimoto Wing to Aoki Chengichi.

And outside the city of Wuhan, Huanglingji, the sound of artillery shook the sky, the gunfire moved, and the sound of killing resounded through the clouds, Wang Jingjiu attacked Huanglingji with the 11th Group Army, Yong Ke Guanjialing, the 44th Army and the 73rd Army detoured to the north, and now the troops were divided to resist, stubbornly resisted, and the battle situation was in a state of stalemate.

Xu Zuyi was secretly worried in his heart, the purpose of Chen Cheng's flight to Changsha was very clear to everyone, and Zhuang Jihua naturally refused to give up the honor of recovering Wuhan, he stared at Kanda on the one hand, the Third Division on the other, and Wuhan on the other.

"The Cultural Revolution and the recovery of Wuhan are certainly great honors, but they can't chew too much." Xu Zuyi persuaded euphemistically: "I know that you want to completely annihilate Kanda, destroy Toshima, and recover Wuhan, but now it seems that our strength is not enough to complete these goals, I think that if you can catch it, as long as you don't let Kanda escape, it will be victory." ”

"Not enough," Zhuang Jihua shook his head resolutely: "There are also the Third Division, the Sixth Division and the Third Division, and the Thirteenth Division, but they chased me from Shanghai into Nanjing back then, and this revenge cannot be avenged." ”

"Brother Yan Mou, after the annihilation of the 39th Division, I was staring at Wuhan, but recently, it seems that with our strength alone, we can only annihilate Kanda, and at most add Toshima, so, since last night, I have given up Wuhan, and this time I will give it to Chen Cheng, I have enough in my mouth, and it is nothing to leave some residue for him."

Zhuang Jihua took a big bite of steamed buns, his cheeks bulged, like a frog, Xu Zuyi looked at him and laughed, and Gong Xiuhua couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere became a little relaxed, and the three of them talked and laughed, as if they had forgotten that a big battle was going on.

"Commander," He Wei ran over in three steps and two steps, waving a telegram in his hand, and reported to Zhuang Jihua breathlessly: "Commander, good news, good... News, Guo Xunqi called, conquered the headquarters of the 17th Division, and killed Pinglin Shengren. ”

calmed down a little, Xu Zuyi threw the steamed buns on the plate, stood up and took the telegram with great joy, but Zhuang Jihua was still eating the steamed buns slowly.

"It's okay now, it's okay now." Xu Zuyi quickly read the telegram and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Hirabayashi was killed, and the 17th Division was completely finished; The four armies could free up their hands to pursue Kanda, and Kanda could not escape.

"The 102nd Army and the 36th Division immediately gathered their forces and launched an attack on Changshou; The 41st Army immediately moved southeast and rushed to Huashan.... ”

"No, the Sixty Army has cut off Kanda's retreat, and the 102nd Army doesn't have to go there. ordered the 86th Army to stay and clean up the mess, and the 94th Army immediately gathered its troops and marched towards Niumuling; The 41st Army attacked Tuanmusi, the 45th Army fully assisted the 125th Division, the 78th Army took over the position of the 45th Army, and the 102nd Army attacked the first line of Guanjiapo, forming a flanking attack with the 101st Army against the 13th Division. Zhuang Jihua swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth in two bites, stood up but did not move.

Seeing this, Xu Zuyi also drank the porridge in the bowl, He Wei reached out and grabbed a steamed bun, made a gesture to Zhuang Jihua, and signaled that it was enough for him to have it.

Several people walked quickly to the war room, discussing as they went, and when they arrived at the war room, a complete set of plans had been formed. The new order was quickly communicated to the ministries.

On the Guanzhuang Lake battlefield, the 86th Army took over the entire battlefield and searched for remnants of the enemy everywhere. Mu Tingfang, Guo Xunqi, and Dong Songyan spent half a day reorganizing their troops, and then launched a pursuit of Kanda as ordered.

The 17th Division was completely annihilated, and after Kanda received the telegram, he didn't even have time to grieve, he immediately thought that his situation would deteriorate rapidly, and the squadron that surrounded and annihilated Pinglin would quickly rush over, and his now weak troops were already difficult to resist.

"Takehara-kun, it's up to you now, it's up to you whether you can stand out and open the passage for the whole army." Kanda said to Saburo Takehara in a heavy tone.

Saburo Takehara was dirty, he clenched his command knife tightly, and replied proudly: "I will do my best to live up to the high expectations of the division commander." ”

Although the defense line of the 125th Division was broken through, several lieutenant ** officers with a group of soldiers seized the two small hills in front, and the two small hills were like two doors, closing the road to Kanda's breakthrough.

The group of Chinese soldiers was extremely tenacious, and Saburo Takehara commanded the troops to storm twice last night, and both times they were knocked down. Kanda had a peculiar feeling that the survival of the whole army was today, and if he couldn't break out today, he would never have a chance to rush out again.

Without artillery cover, hundreds of Japanese soldiers divided into seven or eight skirmishers and walked slowly towards the hills, the front officer with a bandage on his left hand and a command knife in his right hand, the tip of which reflected the sun.

Silence, this is a silent group of attackers, no shouting, no calling, only firm footsteps.

On the small hill, in the temporarily dug trench, Liu Wanfu silently pulled the bolt of the machine gun and aimed at the enemy who was getting closer and closer. Last night, when the line of defense was breached, he ran in a hurry to stop the rout, and finally stopped more than a hundred soldiers, and he retreated here with them, relying on two hills to establish a blocking position.

Now he didn't know that he had been dismissed from his post as division commander, that the division headquarters had retreated under the leadership of the chief of staff, that he had not known where they had gone, and that now he could only try his best to block here and buy time for his allies.

From last night to now, nearly 100 scattered soldiers have been found one after another, including Huang Yuecheng, the commander of the 762nd Regiment who is in charge of the last line of defense, Huang Yuecheng has been wounded, he was shot in the thigh and shoulder, and he walked with a limp. Liu Wanfu didn't ask about his injuries, so he asked him to take dozens of soldiers to the opposite hill.

Now on the position, plus he only has more than fifty people left, fortunately, the ammunition is still enough, and before dawn, several scattered artillerymen also brought a 60 mortar.

"Open the cannon, knock down the momentum of the dog's day, and shoot all the shells out." Liu Wanfu coldly ordered, there was a blood mark on his face, left by a bullet.

The skirmish line is getting closer and closer, and the Japanese army is getting more and more vigorous, and Liu Wanfu can't allow the devil's momentum to rise endlessly.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Several shells exploded in the enemy group, and after the smoke cleared, there were several gaps in the straggler line, but the devil's footsteps did not stop at all, and they still walked unswervingly to this side.

"**, if I don't believe it, I won't be able to kill you!" The artillerymen gritted their teeth and stuffed another shell into the mortar.

A puff of smoke rose in the distance, and another gap appeared in the skirmish line, but the remaining devils were still walking this way.

"Commander, the devil is not good at coming this time." The captain of the guard was shirtless, and he also carried a Czech machine gun in his arms.

"This is a good thing," Liu Wanfu stared at the devil: "This shows that the devil is in a hurry, tell the brothers that the army commander has sent us reinforcements, and it will be there in half an hour at most. ”

"Understood!"

A guard next to him got up and ran along the trench, shouting as he ran: "Reinforcements are still half an hour away!" Reinforcements are still half an hour away! Brothers, defeat the little devils! Capture Kanda alive! ”

The mood of the soldiers on the battlefield suddenly rose, and the cries for capturing Kanda alive rose one after another, and the momentum rose at once.

"Fire!"

With this order, the guns on the position burst into flames.

A life-and-death battle broke out on a small hill.
