    "Brothers! One, two, three!" "Hey!" Following the hoarse and high-pitched sound of the trumpet, thousands of engineers from the Northeast Army were sweating and cleaning up the Lai'an Airport that had been bombed into rubble.  The bricks and rubble were broken and the pockmarked airstrip was flattened with large machinery. Heavy trucks, bulldozers, road rollers and even light tanks were dispatched and thundered back and forth on the airport, raising waves that covered the sky.  Dust covering the sun; at this time, scenes like this were seen in the suburbs of more than ten towns and cities such as Zhangguang, Xiwang, Zhulong, Shahe, and Shunshan behind the Nanjing battlefield. A large number of Northeast Army engineers and tens of thousands of  Migrant workers from nearby areas were recruited to repair and expand the field airport all night long amid the loud sound of trumpets and singing.

    "One, two, three! Hey! Build the airport! Hey! Bomb Japan! Hey!" Amidst the hoarse chants of the engineers and migrant workers, the Northeast Army air defense soldiers on the air defense position near the airport tightly controlled the loading of artillery shells at any time.  The fired 88mm anti-aircraft guns, quadruple 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns watched the air vigilantly to prevent Japanese aircraft from attacking.

    Following General Li Zongren's order to "attack on all fronts" late at night on the 5th, more than 200,000 Central Army troops from several reorganized armies on the second line finally moved south. Such a huge force coupled with a group of troops roaring in from Pingjin  With the participation of batches of Northeast Army Air Force fighter planes, the precarious battle situation in Chuzhou, Quanjiao, Xiangquan, Wujiang, etc. finally gradually stabilized, and the balance of the war that favored the Japanese army also began to slowly turn towards the National Army; Chuzhou was invaded  The Japanese 18th Division and other units were also forced to retreat gradually during the bombing by Northeast Army fighter planes due to their inferior strength and gradual loss of air superiority after the arrival of reinforcements from the other side.  The entire southern Jiangsu war situation showed a stalemate.

    The continuous rain for several days was finally dispersed by the bright sun in the sky.  On the morning of October 7, when General Bai Chongxi, Chief of Staff of the East China Theater Command, stepped into Chuzhou, General Bai, who had served in the military for many years, was shocked by the scenes before him.  The mountains of corpses, the pools of blood that accumulated several inches, and the cities that were completely turned into ruins and continued to burn in the smoke and fire were all shocking. What shocked the Central Army generals the most was the surviving ones.  Groups of Northeastern Army soldiers.  Looking around, we can see that the rear positions in the city are full of rows of fallen Northeastern troops. After several days of high-intensity bloody battles, the Northeastern soldiers directly rested on the bodies of their fallen brothers and waved their own troops in the air at this time.  He fell into a deep sleep amidst the huge roar of the fighter planes. The blood-stained soldiers and the blood-stained fallen officers and soldiers were lying next to each other. The medical soldiers who were searching and rescuing struggled to stagger among the corpses, carefully moving around and inspecting them carefully.  Whether the person lying on the ground was a living person or a dead body, the Northeastern dialect of "Hey! Are you still alive?" made the officers and soldiers of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China watching in silence felt sad.  It is said that after this hysterical and crazy World War I, many Northeastern officers and soldiers never woke up from the drowsiness caused by extreme stress and exhaustion.  In sharp contrast to the brightly dressed and straight-lined uniforms of the Central Army generals are the ragged Northeastern Army soldiers with bloodstains all over their bodies. They are wandering unconsciously among the ruins like ghosts, with their blood-red eyes shooting towards them.  The light is only the numbness of death and battle and the thick and frightening cold light of killing.

    General Bai looked at everything in front of him in silence, and then he saluted solemnly, and all the national army generals saluted solemnly together.  But the only responses they received were almost indifferent looks.

    The war had been going on for more than half a month at this time. Although both sides seemed to be staying put, the "Nanjing Defense Circle" established by the Japanese army in Chuzhou and Quanjiao had been broken through two gaps by the Northeast Army and the 18th Group Army, and  The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the bloody battles over the past few days. It is conservatively estimated that the number of casualties reached about 20,000. They were obviously at a disadvantage.  Seeing the Japanese army fighting and retreating at every turn, while the Chinese army was pressing forward step by step, it seemed that it was not far away from marching straight into the country to regain the country. All the branches of the national army were rejoicing, thinking that another great victory was about to come.  This also made Chiang Kai-shek, the highest authority in Wuhan, open-minded. Probably because of this, he did not pursue the responsibility of General Li Zongren for his "unauthorized disobedience" in the future.  But at this moment, an accident once again turned the battle situation upside down.

    Chu Qiming raised his eyelids with difficulty, and suddenly felt a splitting headache. The pain on his back and the shock and internal injuries to the organs in his chest made him convulse and feel like vomiting.  When the Japanese plane bombed the observation post, a piece of rubble as big as a millstone hit his back firmly. Fortunately, there was a guard who desperately used his body as a "buffer" pad, otherwise Chu Qiming would not have been just like this.  Slightly moderately injured.  Only then did he see that he was in a medical vehicle. The female medical soldier next to him shouted happily: "The brigade commander is awake!"

    "Brigade seat!" Colonel Lu Dongchang, chief of staff of the 45th Brigade, who was riding in a "Mustang" jeep, immediately jumped out of the car.After receiving the signal flare, they immediately descended the mountain like a tiger, shouting like a whirlwind and rushed straight into the town.

    "Hit me!" Colonel Chen Qian, the brigade commander, shouted sternly.  The vigorous officers and soldiers of the 1st Brigade fought bravely to take the lead, wielding the AK rifles in their hands and unleashing ferocious firepower to kill the unsuspecting puppet troops in the town. The puppet troops, whose combat effectiveness and fighting will were extremely low, were almost immediately attacked.  The army was defeated in a one-sided massacre.  What frightened the puppet soldiers the most was that the Japanese soldiers who attacked them fiercely were all Japanese soldiers who used 38 big guns, shouted Japanese passwords, and used Japanese infantry tactics. They suddenly fled in panic without any fighting spirit, and counted in the air  The roaring "Saker" fighter plane accelerated the collapse of the puppet troops even more quickly.

    "Brothers of the Northeastern Army, I am Lu Hanguang, commander of the First Division of the 'Peaceful National Founding Army'. We are willing to revolt on the battlefield!" Deep in the alley in the town, a male duck's voice rang out.

    "Don't you fucking talk nonsense with me! How long has it been since you started uprising on the battlefield! Surrender to me within five minutes! Otherwise, you will all be 'dead, dead' according to your master's words!" Chen Qian said impatiently.

    Stimulated by the fire dragons spewed out by the flamethrowers of the 1st Infantry Brigade, the 1st Division of the Nanjing "Peaceful Nationalist Army" after half an hour of "singing and tearful" resistance, with less than 400 killed and most of the remaining troops surrendered  The result declared the end of its first and last battle.

    The return of Dragon Bone Town to the hands of the Northeastern Army meant that the logistics supply lines of the Japanese Second Division and the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade advancing westward were cut off. Forced by this situation, Lieutenant General Nishio commanded the troops several times.  After the counterattack failed to retake the area, they had to change their original plan to encircle the Chuzhou Northeastern Army and directly "join forces victoriously" with the 18th Division of the Isoya Lianjie Department.  At this point, the Japanese army, whose extreme food shortage problem outside Nanjing was increasingly exposed, and the Chinese army, which suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy losses, both stopped and took the time to rest and recuperate and were unable to fight again.  The vigorous "Tianhui" battle seems to have come to an end temporarily amid the undercurrents on both sides.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
