    When the Yamaguchi Chong Second Division and the 131st Division were entangled on the front line of Mangtan Mountain, the other two groups of Japanese troops starting from Chu County had already fought against the Chinese army.

    "It's just like the situation encountered by Yamaguchi's troops. Although they didn't encounter too fierce resistance along the way, they didn't achieve any results.

    Major General Shigetori Numata, who had been holding back his anger, planned to avenge his shame this time, and was even ready to go on a killing spree. Before setting off, he simply ordered his soldiers not to care about military discipline, as long as they were  Whenever he encounters a Chinese village or town, he will push him past them without mercy. He will use the samurai sword in his hand to teach the hateful person a lesson.

    However, the result was that not two ghosts could be seen along the way, not to mention Chinese people, not even a dog.

    There is no gold and silver property, and there is nothing for the flower girl. There are only landmines all over the ground and cold guns everywhere.

    Although the officers and soldiers of the Gui Army have not received formal training in mountain warfare, don't forget that the Gui Army is mainly composed of wolf soldiers from Guangxi and other places. They are natural experts in mountain warfare. This kind of cold-blooded tactics is the best for them.  It couldn't be more familiar.

    Although they had never fought like this before, after Li Guoyao's guidance, they still caused huge trouble to the Japanese army.

    However, although this tactic could slow down the actions of the Japanese army, it could not defeat the opponent. After paying a certain amount of casualties, the Japanese army still successfully captured Zhulong Town, Daliu Town, and Daishan Town, and was attacking in the direction of Hechi Town.

    Similarly, the Japanese 101st Division also continued to advance, and on February 24th, it successfully got rid of the entanglement of the Jiangnan guerrillas and arrived at the outskirts of Cangzhen, less than thirty kilometers away from Dingyuan.  distance.

    On the afternoon of the 24th, after conquering Hechi Town, the Japanese army began to divide its forces. One group was commanded by Major General Shigetoku Numata and attacked Fengyang in the north. The other group was commanded by Colonel Akiyama and attacked Dingyuan in the west. Their vanguard troops arrived at around 5 p.m. on the 24th.  Arrive at the outskirts of Sangjian Town.

    Li Guoyao knew that from now on, the battle would officially enter a white-hot stage, and the bayonet would really see red!

    On the 25th, the Japanese army conquered the Mangtan Mountain defense line. After holding on for 8 hours, the defenders withdrew to Guangming, and the Japanese army followed suit.

    On the Fengyang side, Numata Shigetori's troops also fought with the defenders and successively captured the towns of Lianpu and Yinjian, with their troops directed towards Fengyang County.

    In Sangjian Town, the Japanese army started a duel with Su Zuxin's 135th Division. After the two sides fought for 7 hours outside the town, the Japanese army finally broke through the outer defense line of the defenders, and then rushed into the town to continue fighting.

    However, the 135th Division was also very tenacious. It relied on the buildings in the town to engage in street fighting with the Japanese army. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and continued to struggle until late at night.

    Su Zuxin knew the role of Sangjian Town very well. Although Li Guoyao said that they did not need to defend Sangjian Town, if they wanted to stop the Japanese army for four days, they must hold on to Sangjian Town for two days. Otherwise, Sangjian Town alone could reach Dingyuan.  If we go to the plains in between, let alone 4 days, it would be difficult to do it even for two days.

    On the southern front, the Japanese 101st Division successfully captured Cangzhen, and its troops advanced directly to the distant county seat.

    But what the Japanese army didn¡¯t know was that just as they were moving closer to Dingyuan, the main force of the 7th Division had already arrived at the outskirts of Quanjiao and was preparing to attack Quanjiao County.

    Chu County. Japanese Army 13th Division Regiment Headquarters and Provisional Headquarters.

    Central China Front Army Chief of Staff Masami Kawabe and Commander of the 13th Division Tanaka Shizuichi analyzed the situation on the front line. As the battle reports from the front line continued to come in, both of them were in a very good mood.

    Hebian Zhengzo looked at the terrain sand table in front of him excitedly, and said to Tanaka Shizuichi on the side: "Tanaka-kun, I just received news that the lieutenant general of the 59th Army is still staying in Bengbu City, apparently to fight with  The imperial army is fighting to the death, and as long as they don't escape, we are likely to achieve unprecedented results this time."

    Tanaka Shizuichi immediately said with a smile: "Yoshi, you stupid support/that person, if they retreat now, the imperial army really can't do anything to them. However, once Yamaguchi and Numata-kun's two brigades encircle Bengbu, then  They couldn't escape even if they wanted to."

    "Well, our four armies are making good progress now. If nothing goes wrong, the imperial army will be able to capture Guangming, Fengyang, and Dingyuan tomorrow, and at the latest the day after tomorrow, they will be at the foot of Bengbu City. By then, the army will be  It¡¯s impossible to escape with wings!¡±

    Tanaka Shizuichi suddenly asked: "By the way, where is the Seventh Division? Have you investigated clearly?"

    Major General Yamada, the person in charge of the Central China Region of Tegako on the side, immediately said: "According to our investigation results, the main force of the 7th Division has now arrived at the Dingyuan front line, but some of the troops are still staying in Bengbu City to cooperate with the 59th Army to defend the city.  .¡±

    "The troops are divided?"

      "Hai, we have indeed divided our forces!"

    Tian Zhongjing nodded and said: "That's good. If the Seventh Division is not divided into troops for the time being, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. That troop is really weird!"

    However, Major General Shozo Hebian on the side said calmly: "Tanaka-kun, in fact, the 7th Division is nothing. No matter how powerful it is, it is just a small infantry division. Is it worth being so afraid of you?"

    Tanaka Shizuichi knew that nothing he could say would be able to eliminate the deep-rooted arrogance and arrogance of these people. This was not just a case of Kabebe and others, but a common problem currently existing in the Imperial Army.

    Even the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China declared that he would destroy China within three months, but he was swollen by others.

    "The strength of the Seventh Division is not only due to their weapons and equipment and the quality of their soldiers, but also to the command level of their commanders. Although Li Guoyao is not well-known in the military circles, his command level is very amazing. If the front line  If our troops cannot be careful, they will easily suffer losses!" Tanaka Jing said.

    "Haha, that's not necessarily the case. Now Yin Dongjun's 101st Division has arrived at Cangzhen. If things go as expected, they will arrive at Dingyuan County tomorrow night. Let's see if Li Guoyao can hold Dingyuan by then!" Zhengsan Road by the river  .

    Tanaka Shizuichi didn't say much, but changed the subject and said: "Since all armies are making good progress now, order them to strengthen their offensive and arrive in Bengbu by the 27th at the latest!"

    "Hai!"

    ?¡­

    Following the order of Tanaka Shizuichi, the Japanese troops on the front line immediately stepped up their offensive efforts. The defenders were retreating steadily, and they saw that the defense line was about to withdraw to the Guangming, Fengyang, and Dingyuan lines.

    Especially the Japanese troops on the Fengyang front line did not encounter much resistance along the way. In addition, the terrain on the Fengyang front line was relatively flat, so that Numata Shigetoku's troops actually arrived in Fengyang in the evening of the 26th.  Outside Yangcheng, there was a confrontation with the 188th Division of the 31st Army.

    Since Fengyang is less than thirty kilometers away from Bengbu, and there is no danger to defend along the way, once Fengyang is lost, Bengbu will be in danger. The Japs can rely on their powerful mechanized troops to quickly attack Bengbu City.

    Although the 188th Division knew that it was not strong enough and was no match for Numata Shigenori's troops, it could only bite the bullet and defend Fengyang.

    And as Numata Shigetori's troops approached Fengyang City, the atmosphere in Bengbu behind them also became solemn, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fengyang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
