The Tenth Group Army has fought to this day, and the soldiers are more or less very tired, and it is inevitable that they will suffer a lot if they and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under Wei Lihuang go head-to-head, so Liu Yuan is ready to avoid the enemy's strengths and attack the enemy's shortcomings. Avoiding Chuzhou and finding a new landing site, as long as you cross the river, the principal can indeed prevent the fate of being annihilated, but it has caused another shortcoming, that is, the troops have no way to completely monitor eastern Anhui, which gives Liu Yuan a chance.

On the first day, the Tenth Army had a hard time with Wei Lihuang's troops, Guan Linzheng led the troops to continuously attack Qian Dajun's position, and with the support of artillery, he took five lines of defense in one day and advanced one hundred and fifty meters, while Du Yuming advanced east to take several county seats.

Although the troops of the Huangpu descendants are very elite and their weapons are also very good, there is still a big gap between them and the 10th Group Army, which has been in battle for a long time.

After the most attack, Zhang Zhizhong had to support Qian Dajun to stabilize the defensive line, and continued to attack the next day, Guan Linzheng's new first army, took three lines of defense again overnight, and organized a commando team at night to carry out a forced assault, and attacked Qian Dajun's front-line headquarters at night, causing chaos in Qian Dajun's department.

However, Wei Lihuang also launched a counterattack and launched an ambush on Du Yuming in the area of Liujialing, and the troops of Du Yuming's two armies were surrounded and suffered heavy losses.

The troops surrounding Du Yuming were Liu Zhi and Xue Yue, with a total of four armies, 120,000 people, and strong artillery support, which trapped Du Yuming in the mountains and had to ask Liu Yuan for help. In one night, the troops of 50,000 men lost 12,000 people and countless wounded.

Liu Yuan thought that the enemy was a typical encirclement point to send reinforcements, and did not take any support for Du Yuming, but took the opportunity to order Du Yuming to lead his troops to directly attack the core defense area of the Nanjing army, that is, Chuzhou, the rear supply area, and break the city one night ago, Liu Yuan adopted the method of encircling Wei to save Zhao, after all, Du Yuming's men were only 50,000 people, not the core strength of the Tenth Group Army.

And when Du Yuming received Liu Yuan's order to hold on, he knew that Liu Yuan was going to temporarily abandon his troops, go down to Chuzhou, and cross the Yangtze River, so he abandoned the original panic and prepared to stick to Zhang Zhizhong and Xue Yue.

Zhang Zhizhong, as an elder, persuaded Du Yuming to surrender many times, but Du Yuming's response was very vague, that is, he hoped to give him some time and let him convince the troops that he should surrender.

However, Du Yuming's strategy was seen through by Xue Yue, and Xue Yue sent 35,000 elite soldiers to raid Du Yuming's rear continuously, but this time Du Yuming had already built fortifications and was ready to fight to the death with the other party, the only thing to worry about was that his troops did not bring a lot of materials, and their original character was to occupy the nearby county town and seize resources.

Wei Lihuang originally thought that Chuzhou had about 100,000 troops, plus the fortifications prepared earlier, to defend Liu Yuan for enough time to give him a chance to eliminate Du Yuming, but he found that he was very wrong.

First of all, a small army infiltrated the city of Chuzhou and blew up the power plant, causing part of the fortifications on the battlefield to lose their effectiveness, and at the same time, the first soldiers of the brigade were instructed to attack the head of Chuzhou City, and the Tenth Army occupied Chuzhou overnight.

At the same time, the construction of pontoon bridges began, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, reprimanded Wei Lihuang, and demanded that Wei Lihuang retake the city of Chuzhou and defend Nanjing, and at the same time Chiang Kai-shek ordered the warships in the Yangtze River to fire on the city of Chuzhou, and the troops under Liu Yuan and the remnants of Wei Lihuang suffered heavy losses.

Wei Lihuang was originally ready to completely annihilate Du Yuming's troops, but under the pressure of Chiang Kai-shek, he could only launch an attack on Chuzhou, hoping to take Chuzhou in the shortest possible time.

On the way to recapture Chuzhou, Zhang Zhizhong and Xue Yue were ambushed by Sun Lianzhong and suffered heavy losses, with more than 20,000 dead and wounded, and Sun Lianzhong, as the side of the ambush, also paid a heavy price, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded. However, Sun Lianzhong succeeded in stopping the advance of Xue Yue and Zhang Zhizhong, and Du Yuming launched a counterattack in his rear at the same time, and Zhang Zhizhong and Wei Lihuang's troops began to panic, while Liu Yuan ordered the troops to start rebuilding pontoon bridges, preparing to cross the Yangtze River and go straight to Nanjing.

Bringing great pressure to Nanjing and Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek gave Wei Lihuang a death order to recapture Chuzhou and defend Nanjing no matter what.

And Liu Yuan's troops also prepared to cross the river like crazy, and at the same time sent special forces to blow up two warships to deter the strength of the navy.

Sun Lianzhong, Xue Yue, and Zhang Zhizhong fought bloodily for three days and nights, and his troops suffered more than 30,000 casualties.

And when Xue Yue and Zhang Zhizhong arrived in Chuzhou, Liu Yuan's troops had disappeared, and the remaining small troops also quietly left under Xue Yue's attack.

And when Wei Lihuang found Liu Yuan again, he found that Liu Yuan's troops had crossed Chuhe within three days, chose a new place to cross the river, and went straight to Ma'anshan, when the Nanjing government had not yet reacted, Liu Yuan led 120,000 troops to Nanjing, and the tens of thousands of troops left in Anhui carried out guerrilla activities on the spot Chiang Kai-shek dismissed Wei Lihuang in anger, appointed Qian Dadu as the commander-in-chief, ordered the troops to cross the river, and participated in the defense of Nanjing, and at the same time ordered the troops stationed in Nanjing to step up their vigilance. Prepare for battle with the upcoming Tenth Army.

And just as Chiang Kai-shek was preparing, the Tenth Army was marching rapidly to Yuhuatai, and the Battle of Nanjing was about to begin.

And when he learned that Liu Yuan had hit the city of Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek was unusual, and was surprisingly quiet, and said to the people around him with a smile, "This little guy has actually risen his income, send a telegram to Liu Yuan, I want to meet him, in Yuhuatai." ”

"Laughing, is this good, when Liu Yuan arrives at Yuhuatai, there is no possibility of reconciliation anyway, let's organize resistance in time." Yu Jishi saw it more clearly than anyone else at this time.

When Chiang Kai-shek looked at Yu Ji, "Can you lead the troops to fight Liu Yuan?" ”

Yu Jishi shook his head and said, "I don't have this ability yet, compared to Liu Yuan, I'm much worse." ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at He Jinhan again and asked, "What about you?" Isn't your Blue Coat Club impressive? What about you? Chiang Kai-shek asked.

He Jinhan's head was covered with cold sweat, "It's not good for students, Liu Yuan is riding the power of a big victory, and his subordinates are all generals who can fight well, I am not his opponent." ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zeng Kuoqing next to him, Zeng Kuoqing did not react, and Chiang Kai-shek could only look at Hu Zongnan, who had just arrived, Hu Zongnan looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say it, Dai Yunong told me, I understand you, I will not send you to fight." ”

"Headmaster, send me to talk to Fuguo, he won't take Nanjing." Hu Zongnan stood up, and at this time he despised Yu Jishi and others who retreated.

"No need, I'm going to meet this little guy, by the way, take his family with me, Fuguo hasn't seen his family for a while."
