    The war continues, the attack continues.  The little devils made their biggest mistake by placing the two newly formed B divisions 54/55 in Jiaxing.

    Jiaxing is a strategic location in this battle. Putting two B divisions here is just to provide food for the 136th Division.

    More than 10,000 people from the three infantry regiments of the 136th Division began to slowly pour into the Japs' position and began to strangle the Japs on the position.

    The division commanders of these two little devils also spontaneously united at this moment and sent the infantry regiments in their hands to the front line, hoping to kill the soldiers of the 136th Division.

    At the same time, in order to supplement their strength, they also added troops from other arms to the infantry regiment.

    The standard number of the two B divisions is 42,000, but with the addition of an independent mixed brigade before here, the strength is 50,000.

    However, the previous independent mixed brigade mainly served as a garrison here, so it is still in the city for the time being and has not been sent to the battlefield

    Shanghai, Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters

    Since the old devil Yan Junliu died, the top brass of the little devil sent a new commander.

    And this person is Yuan Sugiyama. It turns out that Yuan Sugiyama is the Army Minister of the Japs.

    It¡¯s just that his luck was not as good as in history. Historically, he was kicked off at the end of 1938 because the Wuhan Battle did not achieve the expected goals, so he was kicked off.

    This time, he was kicked off because the Eighty-Eighth Group Army launched the Second Battle of Jianghuai. He clamored to solve the China problem in three months. As a result, not only did he not have three months to solve the China problem, but it took half a year after Zhou Weiguo fought out of Nanjing.  They killed more than 400,000 troops in a short period of time, so he was knocked down.

    Historically, he was dismissed as the commander of the North China Front Army. This time, because of his early dismissal, the Commander of the North China Front Army, Shouyi Terauchi, had just won the Battle of Xuzhou, so there was no reason to recruit others!

    "In addition, the Central China Expeditionary Army happened to have no commander, so he came.

    "However, this old devil who has been clamoring to defeat China in three months has actively prepared after coming here. At the same time, his arrogance has not changed.

    "Your Excellency, Commander! The Eighty-eighth Group Army is currently attacking our army in Wuxi and Huzhou. In the Xuancheng area, they are on active defense. In addition, we have received intelligence that the Eighty-eighth Group Army has almost abandoned a large area north of the Huaihe River.  The territory, with the line from Huaiyuan County to Huaishang District as the defense line, is resisting the attack from the dispatched troops from North China!"

    Sugiyama Yuan¡¯s chief of staff, Major General Suzuki Yamada, stood behind him and spoke about the latest information he had received.

    "The attack on the front line of Xuancheng is just a feint attack. The real battlefield is from Wuxi to Jiaxing. Lord Terauchi's North China Expedition Army has eight divisions, most of which are the main divisions of the empire and have strong combat power. It seems that this week Weiguo  It is indeed not simple. What are the losses of our army and aviation? Is it still within the tolerance range?"

    Sugiyama Yuan did not care about this loss. What he needed to do was to look at the overall situation. The war had just begun, and a little loss could not make him change.  No one knows who will win until the war goes to the end.

    "The Army Aviation has lost more than 150 fighter planes so far. His Excellency Lieutenant General Kanoda Ichiro, Commander of the Army Aviation, sent a telegram, hoping that our army's air defense forces can cooperate with them in combat. The performance of the Army Aviation fighters of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army is too good.  , the empire¡¯s fighter planes are no match!¡±

    "We don't have many ground air defense troops, but they can cooperate with the army aviation operations. Did our divisions in Wuxi suffer heavy losses?"

    "The losses are huge! The Eighty-Eighth Group Army has brought in heavy artillery to assist in the battle. In addition, their air force is also constantly dropping bombs in the Wuxi area. In just a few days since we started the war, three of our divisions have been disabled and were defeated.  We were forced to retreat to the back for repairs!"

    When Ichiro Kanoda said this, he felt a severe toothache.

    The fighting in Wuxi was the most brutal, but it was also the least offensive.

    The troops of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army did not charge, but used positional warfare to fight them wherever they were. At the same time, the firepower of their artillery and air force units was too strong.

    The kind of fighter plane that can dive bomb almost vertically at 90 degrees has frightening accuracy.

    And the bombshell dropped also made them feel scared.

    A regiment of 3,800 people could not even hold on for half a day.

    If you fight well, you can still hold on for three hours. In many cases, a regiment of 3,800 people will go up, and it will take just over an hour.Being maimed.

    The Eighty-Eighth Group Army seemed to have endless artillery shells. From morning to night, the explosion of the artillery shells never stopped.

    Telegrams were sent from all regiments and divisions on the front line, and they complained in the telegrams.  These B divisions formed later were simply unable to compete with the 88th Army.

    "What about the losses of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army? Don't they have no losses?"

    Sugiyama Yuan did not care about the losses of those three divisions. He wanted to know how many troops the Eighty-Eighth Group Army had lost.

    "ThisAccording to the telegrams sent from the front line, it seems that the Eighty-Eighth Group Army has not replaced its troops in the past few days. They are still the same troops as before!"

    "Nani? How are they fighting? Three of our divisions have been withdrawn to the rear for repairs. You said the troops of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army have not been replaced yet?"

    This time Yuan Sugiyama was angry. For a senior general like Yuan Sugiyama, he could recruit more soldiers if he ran out. The key was whether there were any results.

    As long as there are results, everything is easy to talk about, but now there are no results, which makes him unbearable.

    "Your Excellency, Commander! The 54th and 55th Divisions sent a telegram. Part of the Eighty-eighth Group Army launched an attack on them five hours ago. However, the Eighty-eighth Group Army's attack was sharp. At present, the losses of the two divisions have exceeded 10,000.  More than five thousand people! Two units are requesting tactical guidance!"

    It is said that the passing of time is unfavorable, and they are talking about Yuan Sugiyama.

    We are in a bad mood here, but there is another bad news.

    "Five hours? More than 15,000 people were lost? Are they pigs? Even if the 88th Army captured 15,000 pigs for five hours, they still wouldn't be able to catch them all!"

    Seeing Yuan Sugiyama's rare anger, the people below did not dare to speak. Only Chief of Staff Kanoda Ichiro said softly: "Your Excellency, Commander! This can't go on like this. We are starting a war now. Jiaxing will be in danger. If Jiaxing loses  , we will be cut off from the Jiangxi Yiyi troops.

    The most critical thing is that we are blocked in Shanghai No. 1, which is very detrimental to our subsequent operations!  "

    "I know! Order the 71st Division to immediately reinforce Jiaxing! Tell Lieutenant General Ohno Ichiro of the 55th Division that if he can't withstand the attack of the 88th Group Army even after I send reinforcements, he shouldn't come to see me!  "
