After the Dian army Luhan entered Anhui, he did not launch a quick counteroffensive against the Japanese army, but carried out a three-day rest.

After the Japanese army crossed the river, it began to order four divisions to forcibly assault the vortex river, which Du Yuming expressed his incomprehension, and the 33rd Group Army quickly exerted its strength, and with the assistance of the 11th Group Army, began to counterattack the Japanese army.

At the same time, the order of the Fifth Theater Command finally came down, and the disposition of Huang Jiejun surprised everyone.

The number of the 46th Army where Huang Jie was originally located was erased from the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army and changed to the Provisional 46th Army, at this time it was clear to everyone that if they did not perform well, the soldiers of their unit would definitely be divided by other units.

The old students of the first phase of Huangpu, plus several graduates of the second and third phases, were disposed of together, so that everyone could see the determination of the central government. In particular, Liu Yuan's telegram was very annoying, so that the generals who led the troops did not have the slightest idea of retreating.

The Battle of the Whirlpool River can be seen as a continuation of the Battle of the Huai River, which was too intense.

The Chinese and Japanese troops engaged in a fierce artillery battle, and the artillery fire was incessant, and the earth was covered with smoke and dust. Fighter groups in the sky were guarding their artillery positions, all on guard against bombers on the opposite side.

The Japanese army was very angry, and it was impossible to repeat the old tricks, so they forced to cross the river continuously, but they were all repulsed.

The 33rd Army was too strong, so strong that the Japanese army had the heart to give up, and at this time the weakness of the defensive line was highlighted.

That is Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army, although the 59th Army has been taken care of by Liu Yuan, there is still a gap between personnel training, weapons and tactical thinking compared with the front-line troops.

In the face of the strong attack of the Japanese Ninth Division, the front was almost broken at one point. even established a beachhead for a time, the situation was precarious, Zhang Zizhong once wanted to rush to the front-line position, but Li Pinxian refused.

Li Pinxian asked the 33rd Group Army to send a reinforced regiment to support the 59th Army, as well as artillery support, so as to destroy the enemy's beachhead.

Zhang Zizhong still refused, because he knew very well that there was a risk of shelling at this time, one was that it was very likely to injure his own soldiers by mistake, and the other was to give the opposite heavy artillery group a chance to counterattack.

Zhang Zizhong personally commanded the spearhead that night to launch a counterattack on the Japanese beachhead, and fought fiercely all night, finally annihilating more than 1,000 soldiers who had invaded the defense line before dawn.

The battle was in full swing at the vortex, the front was very anxious, and Lu Han's troops finally had a chance to strike.

Lu Han's Dian army came from the southwest, and the Japanese army did fight from the south to the north, and it was drawn into a long snake formation, which was very troublesome when the first place could not take care of each other.

Lu Han led the Dian army through Hefei, Anhui Province, and immediately hit Dingyuan, like a sharp sword inserted into the chrysanthemum of the Japanese army. The chrysanthemum is remnant, full of wounds.

And at this time, Liao Lei, the Guijun who had been forbearing, finally had a chance to play and launched a counterattack in Bengbu and Huaiyuan.

Most of the main forces of the Japanese army were scorched in the vortex river, and only one detachment of the 109th Division of the Japanese army remained on the entire southern front.

In the face of the Dian army, which was armed to the teeth, how could they be opponents, in just one morning, the Japanese 109th Division could only ask for help from Shunroku Hatata.

Liu Yuan's counterattack was like thunder, once he made a move, he showed no mercy, Liao Lei commanded the troops, and there was a big battle in the Huaiyuan generation.

Conquering Fengyang and going down to Nanliangang, in desperation, Hata Junliu could only transfer the Third Division, which played a small role in the front line, to fight Liao Lei.

Liao Lei was extremely treacherous, gave up Fengyang, bypassed Tang Jiaji, looked for an opportunity to cross the river, and then counterattacked Huaiyuan, and then went back to the southwest again to coerce Fengyang.

However, in the end, Liao Lei's troops still encountered a wing of the Japanese Third Division, and Liao Lie, at the suggestion of Li Zongren, pretended to be defeated.

Pulling through the night, retreating along the railway line, the 57th Wing of the 3rd Division, which found self-esteem, pursued frantically.

Liao Lei set up an ambush halfway, Yu Xuezhong's army, the 33rd Group Army, who was responsible for the ambush, and Liu Yuan personally allocated it to Li Zongren's troops.

The authentic Southwest Army, with superior fighters and very good equipment, is better than the two armies of the Central Army.

The 57th Wing of the Japanese Army was suddenly ambushed, and he was not prepared at all, and the wing commander Ichiro Sasaki personally commanded the troops to fight fiercely with Yu Xuezhong.

Liao Lei outflanked from the rear flank, and Zhou Huangzu of the Seventh Army pressed on the flank, directly wrapping the 57th Wing with dumplings.

Ichiro Sasaki found that the situation was very bad, and while asking for tactical guidance, he looked for an opportunity to retreat.

It is the habit of the Chinese to encircle three and lack one, in order to make the enemy panic and not resist in the escape, and cause greater losses.

In general, life is more terrible than death, and Sasaki is clearly not aware of this. Yu Xuezhong and Liao Lei, who were subsequently killed, annihilated most of the enemy, and suffered extremely heavy losses.

When Liao Lei appeared in front of them again, the only thing they could do was to stick to Fengyang and not come out. Fortunately, the Japanese do not have the habit of digging up people's graves, otherwise Lao Zhu's life would not be saved.

After breaking the periphery of Fengyang, Liao Lei did not attack Fengyang again with a brainless mind, but moved to the southeast of the hinterland of the Japanese army and threatened Nanjing.

Different from Li Pinxian's depression, the entire battlefield on the southern front has simply become his own show, and Liao Lei, a general of the Gui family, finally stepped into the vision of the Chinese people, and won the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun with his excellent performance in the Battle of Xuzhou, plus the rank of general.

Of course, with the strength of the Dian army, the environment of the battlefield on the southern front became better and better.

In fact, for the 109th Division, they are only responsible for watching the back door, and they are not as effective as they imagined, and the soldier replenishment is not complete, and the entire division is only 20,000 people, so it is very weak compared to other divisions.

But Huang Jie was a deserter, so he had to win a big victory to boost morale, and at this time, he had to go all out.

Lu Han commanded the Dian army, and he personally thought that the order of the theater command was effective, but as long as there was a battle, it would be good, and after waiting for so long, the Japanese army finally rushed to the vortex river stupidly, giving himself the opportunity to pull out the knife.

Although Lu Han is not very good at leading troops, he has Li Zongren always guided, what soldiers are divided into two routes, what attacks are fixed, and they fight well.

Lu Han's command ability is very average, and he really can't find a more talented person in the army, but under the coordination of the General Staff, and Lu Han also follows the advice of the General Staff.

launched a powerful counterattack, and within half a day, Lu Han descended to Badouling, Jiepai and other places, and approached Dingyuan from the southwest.

And Liao Lei once again dangled a shot, appeared in the core battlefield, conquered the heavy land Nengren, Yu Xuezhong was unwilling to be lonely, and appeared in Quanwu Mountain after the total annihilation of a brigade of the Japanese army.

At this moment, the 109th Division stationed in Dingyuan finally understood the seriousness of the problem, because suddenly, he was surrounded by a group of Chinese troops.
