The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, after Fan Hanjie ate Saito's cavalry brigade, Saito actually threw two more infantry brigades to him, and Fan Hanjie was careless for a while, and actually spent more time on these troops abandoned by Saito, giving Saito a very good time to escape.

Saito ran wildly all the way, and finally reached the escape place of Lijiatang, where there was a large group of defenders of his own, from which he could jump out of the city and escape to ascend to heaven. But when I first arrived here, I got the news that this place was occupied by the Eighteenth Army, and Saito was very angry, didn't the intelligence officer say that the Eighteenth Army had gone to rest, how could it suddenly appear here.

Things have come to this, the encirclement of Shina is getting smaller and smaller, and there is almost no chance of escape, but Saito doesn't want to be a sinner of the empire, so he finds a weakness from the map, that is, his flank, there is a big mountain and a few rivers, and the chance of success is very small to escape from here, but at this time, Saito feels that General Liu Yuan must think that he does not dare to go here, that is to say, there must be no ambush there.

Saito ran to the flank, Fan Hanjie and Wang Yaowu pursued desperately, especially Fan Hanjie is now depressed to death, although there is no news from the headquarters now, but Fan Hanjie cut from Liu Yuan! Cut! Cut! His anger could be felt in the telegram.

After receiving Matsui Ishone's telegram, Tani Shofu began to master the troops and led them on a forced march, and the Japanese army of 25,000 men ran wildly.

The 6th Division's attack on the outer defense line of Nanjing did not change in any way because of Gu Shoufu's departure, but under the cover of heavy artillery, it became more and more intense, and Lan Yundong, at the request of Liu Yuan, led the troops to put up stubborn resistance.

This major general, who was supposed to be martyred in the Battle of Nanjing, broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, the Fujian Tenth Division broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and Lan Yundong even went to the city in person and repelled the enemy's attacks many times in a row.

Fan Hanjie, who went crazy, pursued side by side with Wang Yaowu, and finally caught up with Saito in the process of climbing the mountain, Saito saw that there was no hope of escaping, and established a defensive position along the hill, Fan Hanjie did not care about the casualties of the troops, and began to attack, Wang Yaowu saw that he could not prevent the change of situation, so he also launched a strong attack.

Saito ran in a hurry, all the heavy weapons exploded, the two people chased in a hurry, all the heavy weapons were left behind, one escaped and could not be defeated, and the other chased and collapsed.

Different from Fan Hanjie's Central Army, although the Southwest Army under Wang Yaowu did not carry extra heavy weapons, the submachine gun in his hand could definitely be used as a fire suppression weapon, and the grenade on the rifle could easily destroy the existence of the Japanese army's firepower point.

Reinforcements have been delayed, Saito has no choice, and those soldiers in camouflage uniforms are too fierce, and their own defensive positions have been captured by them. On the other hand, although the Central Army is not strong, it has involved the imperial forces.

"Burn all the code books and military flags, the Yamada detachment no longer exists from today." Saito's face was very bitter.

"Dazuo, if you burn the password, we won't be able to contact the rescue force." The confidential staff officer said nervously.

"Burn it, we can't wait for reinforcements." Saito's expression was extremely bitter, maybe it was fate.

"It will be dark soon, and the soldiers of China will not continue to attack." The chief of staff persuaded Saito that he did not want to die, and it was not uncommon practice in Japan to burn the military flag, but there was one condition, that is, the officers of the command headquarters would be seppuku, and Saito would die, and he would not be spared.

"Don't hesitate, the Southwest Army has special forces, and at night maybe we will perish faster." Saito's order was very resolute, and he thought that even Tani Toshio would not be able to save him.

"Dazuo, General Gu Shoufu is calling, they are less than twenty miles away from us, and they are marching rapidly." The confidential staff officer placed the telegram in Saito's hand.

Gu Shoufu was a tough soldier, the thirteenth division under his command, the marching speed became extremely fast, the soldiers often slept while walking, he tied the soldiers with ropes to prevent anyone from falling behind, and the rest time did not exceed three hours a day, so he hurried and hurried, and finally did not let the Yamada detachment be destroyed.

The 13th Division and the Shigeto Detachment had just appeared on the battlefield, Liu Yuan immediately captured the new fighter, Matsui Ishine was really mobilized by himself, if he didn't help, it would be fine, his transfer of troops was to give himself a chance to counterattack.

Liu Yuan immediately ordered Wang Yaowu and Fan Hanjie to retreat, and there must be no mistake. Waiting for the deployment of headquarters at any time.

Fan Hanjie felt that his dignity had been severely damaged, so he asked Wang Yaowu to launch a more violent attack on Saito's troops. Several times he almost captured Saito's most defensive position.

Saito knew very well that his reinforcements had arrived, and he would have to hold on no matter what, and when the time came, he would definitely deal a heavy blow to Shina.

And Fan Hanjie also knew very well that he couldn't wait for the arrival of enemy reinforcements, so he personally went to the battlefield and commanded the battle, and in the middle of the night, there were gunshots everywhere, the war was rolling, and soldiers kept rolling down the mountain.

Saito also went to the front line with a command knife, and he even saw Fan Hanjie commanding the battle on the battlefield for a while, but when he saw the crazy Fan Hanjie, he had to retreat. He vaguely said that he might not be able to wait for General Tani's help.

When Liu Yuan learned that the two commanders had not obeyed his orders, he immediately sent them a new telegram in which he severely reprimanded Fan Hanjie and Wang Yaowu. Criticize them for being short-sighted, they can't see that they are being played by Saito, they want to fight them externally, and Liu Yuan used it on the battlefield for the second time, cut! Cut! Cut! Three words. Liu Yuan even reprimanded Wang Yaowu in a telegram and asked him to come back and raise horses for himself.

Zuo Quan's telegram also came, Zuo Quan knew very well that it was difficult for martial artists like Fan Hanjie and Wang Yaowu to understand Liu Yuan's strategy, so he explained in the telegram, "At this moment, if your troops retreat to Wuhu for a generation, the enemy will definitely think that our troops are insufficient, and now the Japanese Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu is leading the troops, this person is arrogant, they must think that your hasty retreat is an opportunity for them to attack, they will definitely pursue you, and it will also provide us with an opportunity to counterattack in Wuhu." ”

After Zuo Quan finished sending a telegram to everyone, he looked at Liu Yuan with a smile. Liu Yuan was scolding the street there, and scolded Wang Yaowu fiercely, this tiger has been trained for so long, and he has his own temper, how to be in a more important position.

Zuo Quan patted Liu Yuan's shoulder with a smile and said, "The reason why you like him is not the tiger spirit on his body, if he obeys you in everything, then he is still a tiger general, but if you give orders in the future, you must be polished by me, our generals also have poor heads, and they can't understand the strategic intentions." ”

Fan Hanjie and Wang Yaowu ordered their troops to abandon the attack and retreat overnight. Just an hour and a half after they left, Gu Shoufu arrived with his troops.

There are now more than 2,000 of Saito's more than 10,000 people left, and there are hundreds of crippled soldiers, all of whom are lying on the hill with a three-eight big cover in their arms, wailing in pain, they have never been so miserable.

Gu Shoufu was ready to attack Wuhu immediately, but was stopped by Matsui Shigen, after analyzing the strength of the Southwest Army, Matsui Shigen decisively believed that Liu Yuan deliberately left a loophole for himself to jump in, so he ordered Gu Shoufu not to take a step forward. The helpless Gu Shoufu could only scold Matsui Ishine for his incompetence, and then withdraw the army.

After Liu Yuan received the telegram of Gu Shoufu's retreat, he felt a little sorry, this Matsui Shigen still has some ability. And after a period of investigation, Matsui Shigen got the news of the Wuhu generation, where there were indeed a large number of Chinese troops in ambush, so that Matsui Shigen really raised his eyebrows in front of the generals, but he didn't have time to be happy, and worse news came.
