    "What? Quick! Send my guard battalion up, and we must hold the position! Tell the brothers, if you hold on this afternoon, our reinforcements will arrive tomorrow!"

    Wei Yunsong¡¯s eyeballs, which were already bloodshot, turned red under the stimulation of this news.

    "yes!"

    The battle in Suqian was fierce, and the 133rd Division heading to Suqian was also accelerating its advance.  If Suqian fell before they arrived, the significance of their reinforcements would be greatly reduced.

    At this time, the headquarters of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army was still a busy scene.

    The troop deployment orders and material deployment orders are being continuously transmitted.

    And Zhou Weiguo, Yang Jie, He Yuchen and other senior commanders of the 88th Army are also constantly looking at the map.

    War deductions are also being carried out on the sand table.

    "General, if we follow our current deduction, we will completely occupy all the areas north of the Yangtze River, south of Huainan, and east of the Dabie Mountains before April 4th. However, in such a large area, we only have more than 100,000 troops.  I¡¯m afraid the troops are insufficient. Moreover, our defense in Huainan is also a bit low. There is only one guard brigade with more than 10,000 people in Huainan City!"

    He Yuchen stood behind Zhou Weiguo and said.

    "More than 10,000 people are enough! How prepared is the air force? How many air forces can they send out this time?"

    Zhou Weiguo stood in front of the sand table and asked, looking at the sand table.

    "With four air corps, the other pilots are not enough to take to the air to fight. If they take to the air to fight, I am afraid they will be used as targets for the little devils!"

    At this time, Yang Jie next to him said.

    "No! I allocated 225 Zero fighters to them. They are not for good looks! Go tell Liu Suigang that all 525 Zero fighters must be used in this battle. Also,  All seventy-five dive bombers must also be dispatched.

    The Little Devil's Central China Expeditionary Force currently has a flying division with more than 300 fighter planes, but all of them are Nakajima Type 97 fighters, and their performance is far behind ours. These fighters are left to the old pilots, and the new pilots are responsible for them.  The two hundred and twenty-five Zero fighters he piloted were all equipped with aerial bombs for ground bombing.  Complete the training subjects on the way back.  Combat is a substitute for training. Our time in this battle will not be too long.  All fighting must be ended before April 3rd.  "

    Seeing that Zhou Weiguo had made up his mind, a combat staff officer next to him immediately went to issue combat orders to the Air Force.

    ?¡­

    It was 12:20 pm on March 29, 1938.

    West of Suqian, where the 133rd Division headquarters is located.

    They arrived at 11:30 tonight, and the little devil also discovered them.  But since it was night, none of them attacked and they all stopped fighting.  Prepare to fight again tomorrow.

    As for the 31st Army, in one afternoon, Wei Yunsong used more than 3,000 corpses to stabilize the defense line.  But their situation is not good either.  Now Wei Yunsong's 31st Army has only more than 8,000 people left.

    A military-level establishment of more than 30,000 people only had more than 8,000 people left after half a month of fighting. From this, we can see the brutality of their battle.

    ¡°However, the little devils have also killed more than 3,000 soldiers, almost reaching a regiment of soldiers.  It is a pity that the weapons and equipment of the 31st Army are not good, otherwise the little devil would not have killed more than 3,000 soldiers.

    "Master, the brothers have already rested. They will get up at three o'clock, and then launch an attack on the 114th Division on time at four-thirty."

    At this time, Sun Xinpu was still looking at a map. They didn't have much time to fight this time. It could be seen from the fact that Zhou Weiguo only sent one of their 133 divisions northward.  This time it was called to support the Xuzhou Battle, but it was actually to relieve the northern threat of the 88th Group Army.  Once the Fifth Theater loses the Battle of Xuzhou, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army will face a pincer attack from the Central China Expeditionary Army and the North China Expeditionary Army.

    "Have the artillery positions of the division's artillery regiment been arranged?"

    Sun Xinpu asked without raising his head.

    "Now the logistics force and engineering force are helping the artillery force to arrange the artillery positions. I believe they will be ready soon!"

    Liao Yaoxiang walked to Sun Xinpu and said.

    "Well! I didn't expect that this battle would be so brutal. If we had come one day later, the 31st Army would have been defeated. I had just communicated with Wei Yunsong's 31st Army. Now they still have  There are more than 8,000 people. However, they are short of guns and ammunition, and their weapons and equipment are extremely scarce. Even the ammunition is almost exhausted.??¡±

    After hearing this, Liao Yaoxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Xinpu, not all troops are the same as our Eighty-Eighth Group Army. Behind us we have the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium supporting us. So we are not short of money, and weapons and ammunition are not a problem. Other troops, including the Central Army  In addition, except for the German weapon divisions, other troops do not have much ammunition. Their heavy weapons configuration is not high. And artillery is also extremely lacking.

    It is inevitable that they will suffer such casualties.  During the Battle of Songhu, many Sichuan and Gui troops were charging with weapons such as straw sandals and old sleeves, and some even had to charge with swords and spears.  "

    Behind the Eighty-Eighth Group Army is the support of the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium. This is the explanation given by Zhou Weiguo, but what Zhou Weiguo said is indeed correct.

    Since Zhou Weiguo launched the Jianghuai Campaign, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium has indeed begun to move into the jurisdiction of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army.

    In terms of finance, they are also supporting the 88th Army.  This is a normal thing. The little devils come to China just to search for wealth and so on.

    As a group of wealthy people, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium is of course the target of the little devils.

    But they were unwilling to give money to the little devil, and Zhou Weiguo¡¯s Suzhou family was a member of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium.

    After the four major families around Shangfeng rose up, they began to stand out. For the sake of profit, they began to slowly suppress the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium.

    In this case, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium naturally wanted to support the 88th Group Army.

    However, because time is still short, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium has not yet had time to move in on a large scale.

    ?¡­

    ??Four twenty in the morning,

    By this time, everyone in the 133rd Division had already gotten up. They were full of energy after a few hours of simple rest, which was normal. They had been sleeping in the car for the past two days.

    However, there were not many lights in the camp at this time. This was to prevent the little devils from discovering them.

    "Senior, are the four infantry regiments ready? Where is the division artillery regiment?"

    At this time, Sun Xinpu was still making final inquiries about the war.

    "Master, don't worry! The divisional artillery regiment and the four infantry regiments are all ready. Just wait for the divisional artillery regiment to start shelling, and they will charge!"

    At 4:30 in the morning, during the artillery bombardment of the division's artillery regiment, artillery shells suddenly fell into the camp of the little Japanese.

    And one by one armored personnel carriers also started to charge towards the 114th Division.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
