The land of North China was full of wolves, the Jinpu line was full of soldiers, and the Japanese 14th Division finally chose to retreat from Henan.

The vanguard elite troops have already begun to take trains in Shijiazhuang and other places in Hebei Province, preparing to march to Jinan. In the Chahar and Eastern Hebei regions. The 21st Division of the Japanese Army began to assemble from various areas to Beiping. At Datong, Shanxi, Yamashita led his troops to board a train bound for the east.

The departure of two Japanese divisions, the 14th Division and the 21st Division, gave the Chinese military great convenience in North China.

Among them, a certain column of the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army, successfully captured five county towns, and captured countless weapons such as machine guns and mortars.

The Jin-Cha-Ji base area has also been greatly developed, and in a very short period of time, it has expanded to 25 counties.

At the same time in Henan, Commander Cheng Qian, in order to prove the rumors that he was old and could not fight, personally invited Song Zheyuan, commander of the First Group Army, and launched a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army with the 20th Group Army, subdued Puyang and other places, and finally killed Henan.

In the Jiangnan battlefield, Chinese troops also began to launch counterattacks against central Zhejiang and southern Jiangnan, and fought fiercely for many days in Tianmu Mountain and southern Jiangnan.

After the reorganization of the Wuhan troops was completed, they finally began to move towards the Wuhu and Guangde areas, and Shunroku Hata had to take a defensive posture in the Jiangnan generation. Defend Nanjing, which they occupied for not long.

In Shanxi, Wei Lihuang commanded the troops to launch a counterattack, and Shanxi Bo Yibo led the death squad to take advantage of the retreat of the Japanese army's Yamashita Brigade to launch a counteroffensive on the periphery of Datong, and the 129th and 120th Divisions of the Red Party relied on the Luliang Mountains and the Taihang Mountains to attack everywhere. Repeatedly attacked the Japanese army's lines of communication, and the Japanese army put out fires everywhere, but the effect was not great, but they were led by the nose by the Chinese troops.

The entire Chinese anti-Japanese battlefield was active, and Liu Yuan began to have full confidence.

In the Battle of Nanjing, Liu Yuan was forced to give up the Japanese division that was surrounded by himself, that was because he did not have enough soldiers in his hands, this time it was different, he held the troops with absolute superiority in his hands, and their reinforcements were far away, and it was not so simple to support.

"Now the initiative of the war is in our hands, and our biggest problem is how to solve the problem of Isoya Ryosuke, General Liu Zhi is careless enough to fight, and it has been so long, and it has not worn out the sharpness of Isoya Ryosuke." Liu Yuan said to Sun Lianzhong and Yu Deshui at the headquarters, "General Sun has no way. ”

Sun Lianzhong looked at Liu Yuan with a smile in his eyes, he had a reason to be happy, the loss of the troops was so big, he was originally in a sad situation.

But he replenished his own troops of forty or fifty thousand, and at this time, his second army of Sun Lianzhong was really solid.

Now his strength has not weakened much, but has improved a lot, these days, he has been asking Liu Yuan to fight, but Liu Yuan refused, because most of these soldiers are farmers and just graduated military cadets, without a long time of training, going to the battlefield is tantamount to murder.

"Commander, do you want to eat this little thing from Ryosuke Isoya?"

Liu Yuan smiled and glanced at his favorite general, sure enough, he was an old soldier, and he saw his thoughts at a glance, Isoya Ryosuke looked fierce, but in fact, he was indeed strong on the outside, without the support of a strong air force, and without a strong mechanized force, he was confident that after eating Nakajima, he would eat Isoya Ryosuke.

He is now like a tiger ready to eat its prey, and all the little monkeys that are ready to be rescued can be eaten by himself.

However, if you want to eat Isoya Ryosuke, it is not without difficulty at all, and the 35th Group Army under his command has become very tired because of the long battle.

And Townenbo's Twentieth Army Corps no longer has strong combat effectiveness. There is also the Third Army, which is also basically a tired division.

In addition, the Hu Chain Department of the Independent Army, the Yu Cheng Wan Division, the Fan Hanjie Division, and the Liu Zhi Division of the Second Group Army all suffered heavy losses, and their combat effectiveness declined, so that Liu Yuan had to think about how to fight the battle.

"Commander, I think our first task is to completely annihilate a Japanese division of the first division, I think the Nakajima division is good, since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we have not done it, if we completely annihilate a Japanese division, it will definitely be a huge encouragement for the people of the whole country."

Chief of Staff Yu Deshui's words were very tactful, but a trace was obvious, greedy and chewy, just eat the meat in your mouth first.

Liu Yuan glanced at Sun Lianzhong, and found that he didn't have any attitude except for his sincere gaze.

Liu Yuan sighed in his heart, sure enough, he has no strategic vision, if the Nakajima Division of the Japanese army is annihilated, then the bait will be gone, and the bait will be gone, then Ryosuke Isoya and Seishiro Itagaki will definitely run away.

But if Nakajima doesn't die for a day, neither of them can leave.

"I still have the 24th Group Army in my hand, 100,000 troops, especially Dai Zhiqi's battle is good, plus we have the advantage of the air force, dealing with more than 20,000 people in Isoya Ryosuke, no one has any pressure, 100,000 people are one person and one machete, and they can also kill them." Liu Yuan said domineeringly.

Here in Linyi, Liu Yuan does not have his own chief of staff, nor does he have his own staff and headquarters, and all his grasp of the battlefield depends on Yu Deshui, and Yu Deshui temporarily served as his chief of staff.

However, at this time, Yu Deshui was also stunned by Liu Yuan's words, in his opinion, it was already a great victory to be able to destroy the Nakajima troops of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, but he didn't expect that the commander of his own family would want to eat Ryosuke Isoya, is this appetite too big.

"We still have a lot of advantages, it has been almost three months since the troops of Ryosuke Isoya and Seishiro Itagaki were put into the battlefield, and they are more tired than us, but our current main battle troops have invested a very short time, taking the mechanized brigade and Liao Yaoxiang's division as examples, they have only been put into the battlefield for more than ten days, and the 24th Group Army has just been put into the battlefield for less than a week, and the combat effectiveness of the 20th Army is still there, and it is completely possible to eliminate Ryosuke Isoya." Liu Yuan looked at the map and muttered to himself.

Yu Deshui and Sun Lianzhong didn't know what to say, this commander's idea was really different, and he was imaginative, at this time, the two Japanese reinforcements, Ryosuke Isoya and Seishiro Itagaki were all tired troops, saying that they had more than 20,000 people, and they might really lift him, but we had more than 100,000 troops, which were indeed solid, and with the support of the air force at home, it was not impossible to defeat them.

"Commander, just say what you want." Sun Lianzhong thought for a while, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Liu Yuan's beating thinking, but one thing he knew was that the victory in Xuzhou was already in front of him.

After this battle, his prestige will reach a new level, and becoming the marshal of the party-state is already a matter of sight.

"My idea is this," Liu Yuan turned his head and glanced at Sun Lianzhong, Sun Lianzhong hurriedly walked a few steps, Liu Yuan pointed to the map and said, "Our 24th Group Army is chasing the Isogu Division all the way, and the Second Group Army is also knocking on the side all the way, exerting pressure on the flank, it looks very exciting, but it can't exert its real strength, but it is very powerful, it is estimated that it is so frightened that Isoya Ryosuke can't even sleep well, but it makes the advantage of troops unable to give full play."

This Ryosuke Isoya is not a stupid duck either, you see his 118 brigade, although it is a brigade, but how much value it has achieved.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is really good, but they have a disadvantage that cannot be compensated, that is, their troops are small.

In this case, when our soldiers are not as well trained as they are, we can only adopt the method of attacking from multiple sides and fighting from many sides, so that they can face the enemy in many ways at any time, so that we can effectively kill and injure them, and we can also support the frontal battlefield. It's been the front line.

The Chinese generals' fear of the Japanese troops could not be reversed in a moment, and Liu Yuan gave up the idea of convincing Sun Lianzhong.

The country has been weakened for too long, and the Japanese have been powerful in China for too long, which has made the Chinese generals have a strong sense of fear of the Japanese army, which is something Liu Yuan has to face.

Many times, they only saw the advantages of the Japanese troops, but they did not have a clear understanding of the disadvantages of the Japanese army.

Under the command of Liu Yuan, the Chinese troops dared to attack the Japanese army, and they also achieved unimaginable results in the offensive. A big reason is that in the middle of the attack, Liu Yuan found that the Japanese army had many weaknesses.

These weaknesses were weakened in the face of the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, but it was definitely their misfortune to encounter Liu Yuan, who discovered the shortcomings of their forces.

The art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers are noble, and there are not many, but there are also shortcomings. You don't see, the overlord Xiang Yu has the most powerful troops in the world, but he was also defeated by Han Xin.

The Japanese troops were indeed strong, but they were small, which led to their very poor protection of the flanks.

In the previous life, there was a person who grasped the shortcoming of the Japanese army, so he fought three battles of Changsha, and another person also grasped this shortcoming and played a majestic style, he was Li Zongren who fought with the dates.

Liu Yuan had been preparing for the War of Resistance against Japan for so many years, and although the War of Resistance against Japan broke out ahead of schedule, Liu Yuan would not be afraid of the Japanese, so he dared to take proactive military actions to make the shortcomings of the Japanese army leak out undoubtedly.

Use points to drive the whole war situation and enliven the whole war situation.

"You see, if I transfer one army from the Twentieth Army and attack in the east, and the Second Army still attacks in the west, how wonderful will Ryosuke Isotani's life be?"

Liu Yuan drew two curved lines on the map with a pen, pinching them up and down, plus the troops following the Japanese army, just to form a new encirclement on the western front.

After all, Yu Deshui is the chief of staff, and he looks at things in more detail than Sun Lianzhong. After being shocked, he put forward his own opinion, "Commander, your net is too wide, and the little devil, a miscellaneous fish, is likely to crawl out." ”

Liu Yuan also had to admit that Isoya Ryosuke's troops were concentrated, and their combat quality and officer quality were much stronger than those of the Chinese troops, and if the number of troops was not in absolute superiority, it would not be so easy to encircle and annihilate him.

"This is the latest military report, the Isogu Division uses the 118th Brigade to block the attack, the 33rd Brigade protects the flank, and the 8th Brigade is responsible for the advance, the flank is only two wings, one direction, and more than 3,000 people, if I send Yu Xuezhong's 15th Army to break through, plus 20,000 people of the Second Army, and the Japanese army's ten-kilometer defense line, I don't believe my soldiers will not be able to penetrate."

Sun Lianzhong now understood that Liu Yuan's determination had been determined, and the attacking force was his main force, the 15th Army, Yu Xuezhong's Army, which belonged to the 33rd Group Army and Du Yuming's department. The veteran units belonging to the Southwest Special Administrative Region are well-equipped and have extremely strong combat effectiveness.

"If the commander decides, let's try it, at least it can relieve the pressure on Yu Chengwan?" Yu Deshui said.

In fact, Liu Yuan's intelligence just now was not completely prepared, and Ryosuke Isoya did let the 8th Brigade be responsible for advancing, but the North China Front also gave him a tank brigade and a tank wing, which made the defense troops on the front line miserable.

"Don't worry, you two, I won't be too stubborn, let's eat Nakajima first, and last a few bites left, just use it as bait." Liu Yuan said with a smile.

Sun Lianzhong felt that he was getting old, why did he suddenly return to Nakajima, but Liu Yuan's ** illness was committed again, that is, he disdained to command too much to his commanders.

Rather, there was a whole bunch of orders for German water.

"Order Guan Lin to command the First Guards Army, the 105th Air Division, the 107th Air Division, and the 109th Air Division to join the battlefield, and attack the Nakajima Division with all their might. The Japanese army in Wanhualou should adopt a posture of encirclement and insight, and let Wang Zhonglian be responsible. ”

With Liu Yuan's order, three airdrop divisions took off from the airfield with white umbrella bags, and then landed on the periphery of the Nakajima Division's position and began to strengthen the siege of the Nakajima Division.

, the 85th Army and Liao Yaoxiang's division after conquering Baibu, the Nakajima Division has no way back, in desperation, Nakajima can only defend Mahezhuang and Wanhualou and other places, the remaining 4,000 people in Banyuan, so that Wang Zhonglian can chase after the fart, can only retreat to the east, with the airdrop troops to join the battlefield, Wang Zhonglian was able to draw out the 89th Division to establish a new defensive line in Baibu.

The Nakajima Division was not far from him, and Itagaki naturally couldn't give up, so he transferred a large number of troops (most of them were garrison troops) in Zhucheng and other places, and finally gathered enough 8,000 people, hoping to relieve the siege of the Nakajima Division this time.

"Order the special combat team, strengthen activities behind enemy lines, and cut off the logistics line of Seishiro Itagaki incomparably, he has more people now, and his mouth has become more numerous, and he has no food to eat, I see how he fights."

Ning Bo's special combat team only has more than 100 people, and they have been following Liu Yuan all the time, responsible for protecting Liu Yuan, and they really don't have much opportunity to fight.

However, this time, Itagaki Seishiro wantonly mobilized the troops in their rear, and the troops of Jiangshui and Zhucheng were almost adjusted, and the defense line behind them was exposed, providing a very good space for the special combat team to sabotage.

"Order, the 15th Army made a detour from the flank, attacked Wanggou, and launched a sneak attack on Isoya Ryosuke's flank, and Liu Zhi's troops launched a strong attack on Isoya Ryosuke on the western front."

After the Fei County Capital and the 118th Brigade, the Isogu Division attacked all the way to the south, and the offensive was very strong, but was stopped by the Independence Army at Wanghe Town.

However, the Hu chain consumption of the independent army was too great, and it was impossible to stop the attack of the 8th Brigade at all, and Yu Chengwan took the troops to reinforce and stabilized the defensive line.

Liu Yuan glanced at Sun Lianzhong, he knew that this army commander was not a person who was willing to be lonely, and it was indeed inappropriate not to give him things.

"Commander Sun, you immediately transfer the elite of the troops, three thousand people, to form a force to participate in the battle as a reserve."

"Commander, give me a main position." Sun Lianzhong begged.

"This battle is divided into the early and middle stages, you have already finished performing in the early stage of last year, and now it's someone else's turn to be the starring role, you can't have too many opinions, you look at the main force on the line now, who is weaker than your troops." Liu Yuan criticized.

Sun Lianzhong lowered his head and didn't talk much. The commander's orders rarely change.

With a series of orders from Liu Yuan, the melee on the front line became more intense, and Guan Linzheng commanded the 1st Guards Army and other troops, cooperating with Tang Enbo, to launch a powerful attack on the Japanese army.

The defense line of Mahezhuang, Wanhualou and Lijiazhuang is crumbling.

The Chinese troops attacked like a tidal wave, with more than 100 combat units in the sky helping the battle, and hundreds of artillery pieces firing shells on the ground.

The Japanese positions were full of gunsmoke, and it became a luxury for the Japanese to see the sun.

On the battlefield, the trumpeter blew a loud military trumpet.

Party members rushed to the front, behind them were young officers who were not very old, and thousands of people jumped up from behind the 300-meter defense line, and at that moment the blue sky and white sun flag were so dazzling. The gray military uniform has never been so cute and amiable.

Most of the Japanese troops were in a state of madness, and in every corner, there was a possibility of gauze-clad Japanese soldiers setting up crooked machine guns behind the beams, or Czech-style ones seized from the Chinese troops, and a series of fiery snakes could be fired.

In the scolding of the military cao, the ordinary soldiers had completely forgotten their humanity and became the emperor's loyal lackeys, with strips of cloth painted with small suns on their heads, their upper bodies exposed, and they were not afraid of the bullets of the Chinese troops, and they launched a counter-charge with their guns in hand.

This is a crazy nation, they are cruel to others and even more ruthless to themselves, which is the reason why this nation is strong.

"Boom....boom...."The Japanese shells at Wanhualou hit the advancing Chinese soldiers. Chinese mortars, quickly hiding behind bunkers, staff officers quickly studied the parameters.

Fifteen seconds, counting the white line flew out and fell to the Japanese firepower, followed by a series of explosions. With the success of the shooting, dozens of Baixin flew into the Japanese position.

After the explosion ended, the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield had not yet dissipated, and the smell of gunpowder was still so choking that people could not raise their heads, and the Japanese soldiers had already rushed out of the battle position with hundreds of soldiers.

They shouted Long live the emperor, and the grenades in their hands were still smoking, and at this moment, the Japanese army also looked so heroic.

"Da-da-da-da." The assaulters burst out of cover and shot most of the daredevils to death with a flurry of bullets, but some soldiers still rushed into the crowd of Chinese troops.

The earth-shattering explosion did not know how many lives of medieval soldiers were taken, but all the front-line commanders knew that victory was just around the corner, and this was just the last dying struggle of the Japanese army.
