The crisis has turned into an opportunity, and it would be a pity to let it go. Liu Yuqing and Pang Deya briefly discussed a few words, and both felt that this was an opportunity to expand the results of the battle, Liu Yuqing called Jiang Guangnai and asked for instructions to take advantage of the situation to capture Cangnan. Jiang Guangnai pondered for a while and replied: "Several guerrilla columns in southwest Zhejiang have been standing still, and it is time for them to attack. The strength of the South China Front's attack on Fuding has bottomed out, and now the air supremacy is also in our hands, so while the combined fleet has not slowed down, we will beat him hard! ”

There are a total of eight guerrilla columns in the southwestern part of Zhejiang, with a strength of about 16,000 troops, and although their weapons and equipment are not good, they have been playing a game of cat and mouse with the South China Front Army at the forefront of the war, and they have quite rich experience in raiding and harassing warfare. In the face of the great defeat of the Japanese army and the low morale of the regular army, and the regular army being pinned down from the front, the guerrilla column beat the water dogs, and if they played well, perhaps they could really become a key force in the situation in southwest Zhejiang.

Liu Yuqing: "Okay. We left an infantry regiment and an artillery regiment to hold on to Guanmei, while the rest of the troops pursued them. Jiang Lao, there is no problem with the coastal areas of southern Fujian, right? Although the air power of the Combined Fleet has been severely damaged, they have many gunboats and need to prevent a sneak attack by their marines. ”

"There's no need to worry about this, the combined fleet is a toothless tiger without fighters, and now Yamamoto Fifty-six should be worried about the sneak attack of the Iron Commander! There is one thing you should pay attention to, you must get the list of officers above the captain of the 6th Division, Cangnan's affairs are not over! ”

"Yes!"

The 2nd Special Artillery Brigade was once again reckless, and the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army was almost wiped out, and Okuichiro called Matsui Ishine to report, and the old devil realized what was going on with the continuous explosion sound before. Holding the microphone and quietly listening to Okuichiro report on the battle situation on the front line, the old devil forced himself to think for a while, and ordered: "The student army is strong, retreat temporarily!" Let's get out first, and you can come along. ”

The New Year's strategy is like this, which Matsui Ishine did not expect. And he also had a hunch that after this war, his position as commander of the South China Front Army would not be guaranteed. Putting down the phone, he gave the order for the whole army to retreat, and while the staff officers were sorting out the documents and packing up, the old devil walked out of the headquarters and stood in the courtyard and looked northwest, and after a few minutes, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

From the beginning of his appointment as the commander of the Central China Front Army to the later commander of the South China Front Army, Matsui Shigen was also painstaking and conscientious, but in the end he was defeated again and again in the hands of the student army. But it backfired, the old devil had endured in Zhejiang for so long, and he was ready to draw a perfect end to his military career, but the result was that about a brigade of the troops directly under the South China Front Army Command was packing up and preparing to retreat. The Second Special Artillery Brigade won the battle with just one salvo, while Wang Hai and the others continued to bombard for about half an hour. There were forward scouts to provide accurate data, and the shells fired by the artillery of the Cadet Corps flew towards the densely populated places of devils as if they had eyes, and under this kind of fixed-point bombardment similar to surgery, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and only about 3,000 people from two infantry brigades, one tank wing, and one cavalry company were spared in the artillery fire. Although Inoue Masayoshi and Maruyama Masao later figured out why the enemy's shells landed so accurately, they no longer had the ability to go to the mountains to clear those scouts of the 10th Division.

The order to retreat was given, and the 6th Wing of the chariot rode fast on its behalf. In the end, more than 30 tanks and more than 10 armored vehicles managed to escape. The 6th Infantry Brigade suffered the heaviest casualties because it was always covered by the artillery fire of the Cadet Army, and in the end, including the brigade commander Maruyama Masao, only more than 600 people fled to Fengchi Township in despair. As for the headquarters of the 6th Division, because of the key care of Wang Hai's Air First Division, and because of Gu Shoufu's vicious methods, it became the key target of the trainees. In order to protect Gu Shoufu, Inoue Masayoshi successively left the few remaining troops in his hands to snipe the pursuers, and finally only escaped more than 1,500 people.

The Japanese army was completely defeated, the 10th Division invested two regiments of infantry and two regiments of self-propelled artillery, the 2nd Fujian Guard Division invested all the artillery regiments except Machun, the 2nd Special Artillery Brigade supported a battalion of "Thunderbolt", the Ningbo Security Brigade had more than 1,000 people fighting with the army, and Wang Hai's 1st Air Division took 25 fighters into the air to participate in the battle, and a huge pursuit battle began.

The first to make contributions was naturally Wang Hai's First Air Division. Wang Hai put his fighters into battle in a group of five planes, specifically chasing the Japanese tank units and cavalry units, and the 25 fighters successively attacked the ground in one round, and the Japanese killed and wounded more than 1,000 people, Inoue Masayoshi was killed, and Okuichiro was wounded. At this moment, the devil high-ranking officials no longer dare to ride armored cars or horses.

The 11th Air Regiment of the Japanese Army was already badly damaged, and the remaining fighters combined were less than two brigades. Now that the troops on the southern front of the South China Front Army were ruthlessly ravaged by the 1st Air Division, Matsui Ishine was worried that the Air Force of the Cadet Army would carry out endless air strikes, so he sent a telegram to Yokoyama Somori, telling him to take off fighters to meet him no matter what. Yokoyama Somori had no choice but to release all the remaining fourteen fighters of various types and let them go to Cangnan to cover the retreat of Matsui Shine.

On the way back to the airfield to replenish ammunition, Wang Hai provided Liu Yuqing with the location of the Japanese troops, and Liu Yuqing commanded Wang Hai and Liang Wenhui to carry out artillery bombardment on the Japanese troops, and gave Okuichiro's 9th Division a head-on attack with a five-minute rapid fire. Okuichiro's 9th Division was originally the most neatly armed force among the troops on the southern front of the South China Front, but after this round of rapid fire, at least 1,000 people were killed, and the troops were dispersed all at once. Okuichiro was unable to move because the armored vehicle he was riding in was blown over, and he was unable to move because of the damage to his right leg, so he was carried on a stretcher by several devils and retreated. Realizing that in the long run, the troops on the southern front were even in danger of being wiped out, so he ordered the two brigades under the command of the 19th Infantry Wing to stay behind and stop the enemy. Okuichiro did this, which can be regarded as enduring humiliation for the sake of the overall situation, but he underestimated the attack firepower of the pursuit troops of the Cadet Army.

The commander of the 19th Wing, Hitomi Hidesansa, personally served as the commander of the sniper Japanese army, and he set up a formation in Xiaojiang Town, three kilometers east of Cangnan, and the six rocket launchers of the 4th Regiment and 1st Battalion of the 2nd Special Artillery Brigade were lined up, and under the command of the battalion commander Zuo Liang, the next round of salvo fire, the hastily established defensive line was wiped out. Seeing that Xiusan was also decisive, realizing that if he held the stronghold, he would only become a target for the artillery training of the Cadet Army, so he resolutely ordered a charge, wanting to shorten the distance with the Cadet Army and create a melee, so that the Cadet Army's artillery advantage could not be brought into play.

Under the current circumstances, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for people to see Shuzo doing this. However, he underestimated the ability of the Cadet Corps in close combat. The continuous fire performance of the Weiqing assault rifle determined that the Scholar Army was least afraid of this kind of attack, so the Scholar Army's three divisions, which were pinned on by Okuichiro's high hopes, only lasted less than ten minutes and were defeated by the Scholar Army - and at this time, in front of the Japanese army, the guerrillas of the Scholar Army in southwest Zhejiang began to join the battlefield.
