In the temporary headquarters of the East China Field Army, since learning the news of the Japanese army's breakthrough, the commander-in-chief Liu Hua's frowning brows have never stretched. A person, with his hands behind his back, walked around the small headquarters, anxiously waiting for the latest news from the front.

Looking at the commander-in-chief Liu Hua in front of him, he had never been so worried about since he partnered with him. As the chief of staff of his old partner, Zuo Quan was the first to speak: "Commander-in-chief, you can relax." I believe that with the reinforcements of nine regiments and three divisions, we will definitely block the breakthrough of the little devils in the shortest possible time............"

"In addition, even if some of the little devils escaped from the breach, I believe that some of the people who escaped were only a small part of their main force. And their main force must still remain in our encirclement, waiting for us to annihilate them all............" Facing the comfort of the chief of staff, as the supreme commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, although Liu Hua knew that everything the chief of staff said was true. However, at this moment, he can't let go of his heart. Of course, the slightest uneasiness that has been hidden in his heart,

There is no dissipation, but it is getting thicker and thicker.

More importantly, through the hard fact that the Japanese army has just broken through. Let Liu Hua have more trust in his sixth sense and his own feelings. Therefore, at this moment, Liu Hua is becoming more and more faintly uneasy in his heart, and he has greater vigilance and worry.

Therefore, as soon as Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's words fell, Liu Hua, as the commander-in-chief, shook his head very helplessly. Then, he said: "Chief of staff, I always feel that things are not so simple.

Look at it, our opponent, the old devil Matsui Shigen, will definitely not put the entire northern Jiangsu region into our hands so easily. The duel between us and Matsui Shigen, an old devil, has just begun to "......" Sure enough, as soon as Liu Hua's words fell, the sound of hurried footsteps reached everyone's ears. Immediately after that, the slightly moving figure of the combat staff officer appeared in front of everyone.

"Report to the chiefs, I have reinforced the troops, and I have successfully blocked the breakthrough of the Japanese army, but ...... But ......"...... But what, Staff Officer Wang, if you have something to say, don't ramble......" Seeing the operational staff officer with a hesitant face in front of him, Political Commissar Deng Xiaoping frowned, and then opened his mouth to remind.

"Yes, commissar...... Although the breakthrough was blocked by us. However, according to the report of Commander Wang of the Ninth Corps, in this short half hour, about 30,000 enemy troops broke through the encirclement. What's more, the enemies who stand out from the encirclement are all the most elite devil soldiers in the encirclement... In addition, there is another thing, in the process of our army seizing the breakthrough, the thousands of Japanese elites who remained behind the breakthrough launched a large-scale suicidal attack to reinforce our troops, in an attempt to delay the pace of our army's offensive. In the end, our army, which was forced to be helpless, had no choice but to engage in a bloody white-knuckle battle with the enemy..............."

"After statistics, in the white-knuckle battle that lasted about twenty minutes, I reinforced the troops, and paid the price of a total of 3,000 casualties, and completely annihilated more than 9,000 elite troops left behind by the Japanese army At present,

According to Commander Wang's report, among all the reinforcements, except for the two main regiments that had lost too much, they were left to strengthen the defense of the breach. The remaining seven regiments, under the command of Chief of Staff Du of the Eighth Corps, were already pursuing the Japanese breakout troops," the operational staff officer reported.

"I really didn't expect that the Japanese army would inflict such huge casualties on us when they ran out of ammunition and food. More than 3,000 people, even if we launch a large-scale campaign, there is no record of killing so many people in one time...... 1 Little devil, sooner or later, one day I will make you pay for your blood debts........." clenching his fists, Liu Hua said with a murderous face.

"Commander-in-chief, the breakthrough has been blocked, what should we do next?" For such a huge casualty of the troops, Zuo Quan, as the chief of staff, was also very sad in his heart. However, in front of the whole big picture in front of you, it is not fully manifested. After a short period of contemplation, he asked Liu Hua in front of him.

"What should I do, the little devil broke through to 30,000 elites, plus nearly 10,000 elites who were wiped out by us at the breakthrough. In the entire encirclement, except for the forty or fifty thousand imperial troops. The number of remaining devil soldiers is less than 10,000. Ordered all combat units to immediately attack the Japanese puppet army in the encirclement. At the same time, political work cadres at all levels should also launch a political offensive. Strive to destroy all Japanese troops and persuade all Imperial Allied troops in the encirclement to surrender at the same time. You must know that these Imperial Allied Army, when the time comes, will be the best soldiers of our army......" "immediately send a telegram to Chief of Staff Du, who was pursuing the Japanese breakthrough troops, telling him that in the process of pursuit, he can only use his nose wisely, not fight hard." As much as possible, through the guerrilla tactics that our army is good at, we can delay the pace of breaking through the Japanese army.

After the main forces ended the fighting around Huai'an. Let's go south together and annihilate the Japanese breakout troops,..." Liu Hua ordered very decisively.

"Yes, the General Director...... "Major General Yoshino, as the commander of the Huai'an Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in China. Just when the troops had just spit out of the encirclement, they took the remaining 6,000 elites of their brigade and left them at a position less than five kilometers away from the breakthrough, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the East China Field Army.

"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, that the Chinese army has a total of six regiments and a strength of more than 10,000 people. In the form of a rapid march, they quickly pursued our breakthrough troops. In half an hour at most, you will be able to meet our army ......"............ His Excellency the Brigade Commander and the Chief of Staff reported that the road leading to the city of Nanking had been heavily damaged by the Chinese army, and the breakthrough troops were making slow progress. His Excellency the Chief of Staff asked our garrison brigade to hold back the pursuing troops in China for at least one day in accordance with the original battle plan..., through guerrilla tactics. "Eight Ge Yalu, cunning Shina people. Today, let us treat others the way they do. Let the Chinese army also taste the guerrilla tactics of the Imperial Army of the Great Japan. Chuan Lou ordered all combat units to immediately disperse in small teams. According to the original battle plan, be ready for battle" Rear Admiral Yoshino's face immediately lù a sneer, and he ordered very decisively.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Brigade Commander...... "In the pursuit unit of the East China Field Army, because of the rapid march of the troops, the six main regiments, with a strength of less than 12,000 troops, actually pulled out a three-kilometer-long queue on the road. At the same time, after continuous running, the queue of troops, to a certain extent,

It's been a mess.

Du Ping, chief of staff of the Eighth Corps, as the supreme commander of the pursuing troops, coupled with the urgency of the battle situation and other reasons, also took his own increasingly heavy steps, like the soldiers, running forward.........

"Chief of Staff Du, after half an hour of pursuit, the formation of the troops has become a mess. If we encounter an attack by little devils, the consequences will be unimaginable. You see, do you want the troops to stop for a while, reorganize the formation, and then pursue it" Commander Xu Guozhen, who was closely following the chief of staff Du Ping, saw the chaotic formation around him, and reminded with a worried face.

"Lao Xu, I think you're too worried. 1 What is the purpose of the little devils to break through, there is only one, that is, to escape from our army's sphere of influence as soon as possible and return to the city of Nanjing, which is heavily defended by them. Although, the enemies who broke out were all elite little devils. However, I believe that these elites, with the beginning of our pursuit, have turned into lost dogs. So, don't worry, order the troops to continue to pick up speed. After encountering the Japanese breakthrough troops, each combat unit did not need an order, and fought on its own, eliminating all the Japanese troops they encountered This time, if we have more than 10,000 elites with sufficient ammunition, we will not be able to destroy the 30,000 small without ammunition

Devil, then I, Du Ping, don't live..."After shaking his head, Chief of Staff Du Ping, who was panting, replied with a very positive attitude.

"Yes, Chief of Staff, maybe I'm really overthinking......" However, as soon as Xu Guozhen's words fell, a series of crisp rifle shots reached everyone's ears. Suddenly, the marching column, which had just been in rapid pursuit, lay on the ground very neatly as if it had been rehearsed. At the same time, he raised the loaded rifle in his hand, and watched the movements on both sides of the road with a vigilant face, as if he was searching for something "What's going on, where did the gunshots come from" Commander Xu Guozhen first asked, "Commander, chief of staff, little devil, the avant-garde unit was suddenly attacked by an infantry squad of the Japanese army, and more than 30 soldiers were lost" Xu Guozhen's questioning voice just fell, and the combat staff officer who came in a hurry opened his mouth to answer.

"What? A squad of little devils, one round of shooting, caused us more than thirty casualties among the fighters............ What about the little devils, have you eliminated them............" Xu Guozhen's face was immediately flushed by the sudden casualties. Staring at a pair of eyes that can almost kill,

He questioned the combat staff officer in front of him.

"Captain, run away. 1 After firing a round of bullets, the little devil slipped away. After our men rushed to their ambush position, the entire position, except for dozens of bullet shells, did not even see the shadow of the little devil......"

"......Ran away, ***, so many people, they let a team of little devils run away, what are you doing to eat?" For a while, Xu Guozhen's face was once again shrouded by the angry god sè........., @.
