As orders from the general headquarters continued to be issued, all troops and civilians on the Bengbu front line were mobilized. The troops quickly rushed to the battlefield to predetermine the battlefield, and the common people were mobilized. Those who should clear the country immediately fortified the walls and cleared the country. Those who should destroy the roads and railways also showed no mercy. They waved hoes and shovels and took action. In addition, in Bengbu, Guangming, Dingyuan and other places, There are a large number of young and middle-aged people working with the troops to build fortifications.
The front-line battlefield is busy, and the second-line is not easy either. Since the Bengbu area is originally an important economic town with dense residents, there are nearly 200,000 people in the urban area alone. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Commander-in-Chief Zhang followed Li Guoyao's suggestion and ordered all the people in the city to People evacuated.
¡°This is 200,000 people. To evacuate all of them from the city at once is a big project.
But there is no way. Li Guoyao, Zhang, Liu and others all know the virtues of the little devils. Once the city is besieged and they are ignored, a heavy beating from aircraft and artillery is unavoidable. If the people in the city do not withdraw, not only will there be casualties. A large increase, and it will also affect the defenders' defense of the city.
Fortunately, Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters is already very experienced in this regard. After informing the headquarters of the precautions, there were no big mistakes.
In short, the not-so-huge war machine of the National Army on the Bengbu front line is in operation. Everyone is performing their duties. Although they are busy, there is no trace of panic.
In view of the importance of this battle and the shortage of soldiers on the front line in Bengbu, on the morning of February 21, the headquarters of the Third Theater Command sent an urgent telegram stating that reinforcements from two regiments from Huaiyuan and Guzhen were already on the way and were expected to arrive in the evening. To Bengbu.
When the news came, Commander-in-Chief Zhang was overjoyed and immediately decided to transfer one of the two regiments to strengthen the West Route Army and place it under the command of Li Guoyao's department.
Although Li Guoyao has promised to defeat the 101st Division, Commander Zhang, Liu Shiyi and others are still not reassured. After all, in their minds, the combat effectiveness of one special operations division of the Japanese army is equivalent to five divisions of the national army. Even stronger.
Although Li Guoyao's troops have 15,000 people, they are only equivalent to two ordinary Chinese divisions. Even if the 135th Division is included, it is still far behind. Therefore, he will support the West Route Army as long as he is able.
After receiving the telegram from the general headquarters, Li Guoyao did not refuse. Although he felt that he was very sure to deal with the 101st Division of the Japs with the troops in his hands, but who would think that he had more troops in his hands?
What's more, now the Little Devils have more than just the 101st Division. There is also a reinforced regiment of the Little Devils in the direction of Chuxian. One more regiment also brings more guarantees.
On the morning of February 22, just one day after Li Guoyao's troops stationed in Dingyuan, news came from the front line that Yin Dongzhengxi, commander of the 101st Division, commanded the main force of the division to leave Quanjiao and attack Dingyuan with all its strength.
However, as soon as they left the city, they were held back by the Jiangnan guerrillas. Faced with land mines and various unconventional means, the 101st Division, which had never experienced such tactics, was almost collapsed.
I think the 13th Division was reduced to disgrace under Li Guoyao's "rogue" tactics, not to mention the second-rate unit of the 101st Division. They only moved forward less than ten kilometers in the whole morning. The journey made Yin Dongzhengxi furious.
Of course, these are all Li Guoyao¡¯s orders. He knew very well that the Japanese army was approaching this battle fiercely, but they had little preparation, so he needed the Jiangnan guerrillas to hold back the Japs for the troops on the Dingyuan front line, so that they could calmly mobilize their troops.
Dingyuan. West Route Army Headquarters.
In front of the terrain sand table, Li Guoyao, Su Zuxin, Wang Zhanhai, Xu Hu, Ma Desheng and others all gathered together to listen to Li Guoyao explain the specific actions of this battle.
"Everyone, the main force of the Japanese army has already taken action. The 101st Division, the main force of the Japanese army in the direction of Quanjiao, has attacked north this morning, but was held back by a guerrilla force using landmines. On the Daishan line, the 104th Regiment of the Japanese Army has The team has also launched an attack and has conquered Daishan. It is now attacking towards Hechi Town and is expected to arrive in Hechi tomorrow morning."
Li Guoyao then continued: "We don't have much time left, so I will arrange the specific tasks of each unit now!"
"Order: The 135th Division will immediately station in Sangjian Town from now on. Your division's mission is to block the 104th Regiment coming from the direction of Hechi Town. You do not seek total annihilation, but just hold back the Japanese troops on this road for more than 4 days. Can you do it? !¡±
"Yes!" Su Zuxin said loudly.
"Okay, let's leave the battle in the direction of Sangjian Town to Commander Su!"
"Brother Su Yan, please rest assured, even if our 135th Division is completely wiped out, we will still defend Sangjian Town!" Su Zuxin said loudly.
However, I listened to Li GuoyaoHe shook his head and said: "There is no need. If the Japanese attack is too strong, you can abandon the defense of Sangjian, and then retreat to Dingyuan while blocking the Japanese army along the way. But no matter how you do it, from the time the Japanese army attacks Sangjian Town to The Japanese troops are approaching Dingyuan City, and your troops will have to hold them back for more than four days!"
"yes!"
Originally, Su Zuxin felt that this mission was indeed a bit difficult. After all, their division currently has less than 7,000 people, and a reinforced regiment of the Little Devils has at least 4,000 people, and sometimes it can even reach 5,000 people. In addition, The gap in firepower makes it really not easy to defend Sangjian for four days.
But if you don¡¯t need to defend the town and just delay the Japanese army for four days, then the task will be much less difficult.
Li Guoyao then continued: "Order: The main force of the Duba Brigade and the divisional cavalry regiment will immediately detour south and capture Quanjiao County before the 101st Division arrives at Cangzhen!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" Zhang Tengjiao said loudly.
"Order: The Dujiu Brigade, the Du 15th Brigade, the artillery battalion of the division, and the engineering battalion rush from Cangzhen, Daqiao Town, and Cangji Town to Gushan and Mount Kumgang. After the Japanese army passes through the mountainous area, your troops will immediately find favorable terrain to set up an ambush. , waiting for the Japanese army to return to Quanjiao."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"The remaining 263 regiment, the guard battalion, air defense battalion and logistics troops of the 7th Temporary Division all stay in Dingyuan!"
"yes!"

It is said that just when Li Guoyao's troops were busy mobilizing troops, the Japanese army in Chu County also began to take action. The three armies dispatched together and attacked Bengbu in accordance with the predetermined battle plan, with great momentum.
On the side of the Eastern Route Army, Major General Yamaguchi Chong was working hard. In addition to the county seat of Chu County, his troops attacked northward along Shahe Town and Zhangbali Town.
According to the judgment of all the commanders of the 103rd Brigade, this battle should be a hard battle, because the intelligence collected from T&G showed that the Chinese army in Bengbu was ready to defend Bengbu and assembled on the front line. The strength of five or six divisions has been reduced, and a large number of reinforcements from Mengcheng, Huaibei and other places are gathering towards Bengbu.
The defenders in front of them were a reinforced division of the Gui Army. They knew the combat effectiveness of the Gui Army. Although it was not as good as Chiang's direct line of German weapon masters, it should not be underestimated.
But what Yamaguchi Chongji didn't expect was that the hard battle he imagined did not appear. After his troops came out of Chu County, they neither encountered resistance from the Chinese army nor were welcomed by the local gentry, and just marched north smoothly. .
At the beginning, the Yamaguchi troops walked more cautiously for fear of being ambushed, but after walking for more than ten kilometers, everyone discovered a problem. Not to mention the army, even ordinary Chinese None of the common people have one.
In addition, they also found that all the villages they passed by were deserted, whether it was a small village with dozens of households or a large town with hundreds or thousands of households, it was silent.
It¡¯s okay if there are no people, there are no livestock or even wells, so all the people at the mountain pass can only drink water from the river outside. Either they can¡¯t find the well water, or if they find it, they don¡¯t dare to drink it, because they just didn¡¯t dare to drink it. There was no precaution at first, and one of the soldiers was poisoned by drinking well water.
Although they were all poisoned with non-fatal poisons, they were all suffering from diarrhea and diarrhea, and obviously could not go to the battlefield. From then on, no matter whether they could find a well or not, the Yamaguchi troops did not dare to drink water casually.
In this way, the Yamaguchi troops arrived at Mangtan Mountain, 25 kilometers south of Guangming, and here they finally saw the defensive positions built by the Chinese army. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
