¡°Subsequently, Sugiyama Yuan felt relieved when he thought about the power of this bomb, and at the same time he also had some other ideas in his mind!
"Kano-kun! Immediately give the troops my order and order them to immediately abandon their positions outside the city. All troops will be based on cities, towns and other places where Chinese people are present for defense! I don't believe that the 88th Army dares to attack them. The people take action!¡±
A ruthless look flashed through Sugiyama Yuan's eyes. For him, he would not be affected by the death or injury of some Chinese people, or even the death of all of them.
Because he didn't care about these at all, but Zhou Weiguo did, so he decided to change his tactics.
The power of this kind of bomb is great, but its limitations are also high.
It is difficult to transport and load, and because it is too powerful, it cannot be used in towns and other places.
Because once this kind of bomb is used, it will cause large-scale death of people.
In the ensuing battle, the little Japanese's behavior was beyond the expectations of the frontline troops of the 88th Army, but at the same time, it made all the soldiers of the 88th Army feel angry.
Wuxi and Suzhou are not far apart, they can even be said to be very close. Both are next to Taihu Lake.
And because Wuxi and Suzhou are located in prosperous areas in the south of the Yangtze River, with dense population and numerous towns.
So along the way, the little devil never fought with the soldiers of the 88th Army in the wild, but fought with the 88th Army in the towns.
This made the soldiers of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army very angry. The little devils could almost be said to be fighting in the street with them.
As a result, the 88th Army¡¯s air support and artillery support had to be restricted.
"However, what gave the soldiers of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army some comfort was that the Japs did not hold the people hostage as a shield.
¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that the little devil doesn¡¯t want to, he even really wants to.
"But I don't dare to do it now. The Eighty-eighth Army still has about 20,000 Japanese prisoners in its hands. These are all the Japanese prisoners captured in this battle."
During the Second Battle of Nanjing, they held the Chinese people hostage and used the Chinese people as shields. Who knew that Zhou Weiguo actually dared to kill the little Japanese lieutenant general and major general alive.
In addition, the soldiers were also asked to take the prisoners to the front line and behead them alive, which made the little devil very afraid of Zhou Weiguo.
Facing the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, we no longer dare to hold the people hostage. At most, we will fight in towns.
This can also be said to be the benefit after Zhou Weiguo's last cruelty.
"However, even if the Japs fought in the towns, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army's artillery and air superiority could not be exerted, but its powerful firepower also caused heavy casualties to the Japs.
On August 24, 1938, the frontline troops of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army and the troops of the Third Infantry Division arrived outside Suzhou.
At the same time, the troops led by the 136th Division successfully annihilated the Japs in Xingjia.
Zhou Weiguo then ordered the three infantry divisions of Xingjia to begin encircling Shanghai. However, Zhou Weiguo also repeatedly warned Chu Yunfei in messages not to get close to the coastline.
For the time being, let the little Japanese navy be rampant for a while, and then prepare to deal with the little Japanese navy after taking over Suzhou, Changshu, Kunshan, and Taicang.
Now is not the time. Chu Yunfei naturally knew the reason for Zhou Weiguo's order, and then began to march towards Shanghai.
Just as Chu Yunfei was leading three infantry divisions toward Shanghai, Zhou Weiguo ordered the first infantry division, the second infantry division, and the fourth infantry division to advance toward Changshu, preparing to divide the troops into two groups. Lu marched forward hand in hand with Chu Yunfei's three infantry divisions, a total of 12 infantry divisions, 250,000 men, crushing the little Japanese in Shanghai.
In view of the fact that his troops were too scattered and the combat effectiveness of the Eighty-eighth Army was not what it used to be, Sugiyama Yuan ordered the entire army to shrink, and the remaining approximately 200,000 troops retreated to Shanghai. With Shanghai as our support and the navy as our support, we must stick to Shanghai.
At the same time, contact the top four generals of the North China Expeditionary Army and ask him to seize the Huaihe River defense line of the 88th Group Army as soon as possible and threaten the 88th Group Army from the north.
When the top four officials received the telegram from Sugiyama Garden, their expressions were extremely ugly.
Because his current situation is not very good. He had eight divisions in his hands before, and they were all eight divisions with strong combat effectiveness. Facing the troops deployed by the Eighty-Eighth Group Army north of the Huaihe River, he can be said to be Full of confidence.
But then three more divisions were transferred away. Although the three divisions finally transferred were not permanent divisions, they still made him less powerful.few.
Later, after the reloading of the fifth theater was completed, Li Delin used the weapons and ammunition that Zhou Weiguo had supported him to form six Japanese weapon divisions. The remaining weapons and equipment were prepared to be used as supplementary weapons, and any losses there would be made up for.
And these six Japanese weapon divisions began to compete with the Japs. If the Japs headquarters hadn't added two more divisions to the North China Expeditionary Force later, and he himself transferred two more mixed brigades from other places, He was about to be surrounded by the Fifth War Zone and the Eighty-eighth Army.
As a result, the telegram from Sugiyama Park now made him look very unhappy.
"Break the Huaihe defense line?
Easier said than done?
If it were any other national army unit, the leader among the four would definitely be full of confidence.
But for the Eighty-eighth Army, the leader of the four ranks is really not sure. Not only is he not sure, if he didn't have many permanent divisions in his hands, but also horse-drawing divisions, he would have been on the defensive.

Nanjing, Eighty-Eighth Group Army Headquarters, August 26, 1938
"Fang Shengli wants to surround the little devils in Huaibei?"
Zhou Weiguo frowned as he looked at the telegram from Fang Shengli.
"How many troops are there in the Japs north of the Huaihe River now?"
Zhou Weiguo pondered for a while and then looked at Jiang Baili. Jiang Baili was in charge of the war north of the Huaihe River. Zhou Weiguo and Yang Jie concentrated their energy near Shanghai. After all, the war here was the most important.
"There are seven divisions and two independent mixed brigades, with a total strength of about 210,000. In addition, there are three heavy artillery brigades among them!"
"Two hundred and ten thousand? Three heavy artillery brigades? It seems that the North China Expeditionary Army does not have as many soldiers as Central China, but they are all elites!
Give power to Fang Shengli and don¡¯t encircle him for the time being! Waiting for the end of the war in Shanghai! "
Zhou Weiguo also had his own considerations. In this battle, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army also suffered a lot of losses. However, after this battle is over, most of the soldiers of the Eighty-eighth Group Army will become veterans.
At that time, based on these eighteen Class A divisions, we can once again begin to expand our troops and expand our own strength!
???????????????????????? If we kill the little devils in China in a short period of time, then the troops will be insufficient, and the territory vacated by those little devils will be occupied by Shangfeng.
Zhou Weiguo felt that it was better not to do this kind of thing like making wedding clothes for others. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
