    When the news of the great victory in Taierzhuang came, the people across the country were inspired, and their anti-Japanese enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.  However, this is both good news and bad news for the 7th Division on the front line in Bengbu.

    The good news is that the battle in the direction of Taierzhuang finally resulted in the national army's final victory. Although it is not over yet, the overall situation has been decided. For any Chinese, this is good news anyway.

    But now that the Japanese army has no hope of moving south, the only breakthrough point is Bengbu, so the pressure on the defenders on the Bengbu front line must be even greater.

    Therefore, Li Guoyao estimated that the Japanese attack will be even more crazy starting from April 9!

    This is indeed the case. Starting from the morning of the 9th, the speed and firepower intensity of the Japanese army's attack have been greatly improved. Especially the West Route Army. After conquering the "nail house" of Dingyuan, the Chongteng detachment and its reinforcements all the way  Advancing towards northwest Hunan, they marched 65 kilometers in less than a day and arrived at Xiquan Town, southwest of Bengbu.

    Although Xiquan Town is still more than 40 kilometers away from Bengbu, with Bengshan Mountain sandwiched between it, there are not many defenders in this direction. There are only less than 2,000 people under Lu Zhanwu's command. It has always been difficult to stop the Japanese army.  attack.

    Furthermore, the Japanese Central Route Army was also madly attacking Fengyang, while the East Route Army was attacking Guangming. Although the defenders tried their best to stop it, they were still beaten back steadily. Fengyang and Guangming were in a hurry.

    At the same time, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Japanese Sixth Division and other troops were also frantically advancing towards the defense area of ??the Third Theater Zone in Jiangbei. On April 8, they also sent troops to raid Quanjiao County. The defending 192nd Division suffered heavy losses.  In desperation, they had to give up Quanjiao and retreat to Feidong. The Japanese army captured Quanjiao.

    In order to defeat the main force of the Third War Zone as soon as possible and occupy the city of Hefei, the Japanese army continuously sent bombers to air raids on Hefei, causing serious losses to the people of Hefei.  Especially on April 6, the Army Air Force of the North China Front of the Japanese Army directly dispatched 35 aircraft and dropped more than 100 bombs in Hefei from Bashang Street in the east, Sanxiaokou in the west, Guanyan Lane in the south, and Yicang Lane in the north.  .

    This bombing caused huge losses to the military and civilians in Hefei, especially east of the Fourth Archway and Cross Street. It was a sea of ??fire, with more than a thousand houses destroyed, and numerous military and civilian casualties. This was the first time that Japanese military aircraft had bombed Hefei since December 1937.  The 38th major bombing of the city.

    The Japanese 6th Division's capture of Quanjiao is definitely not good news for the 7th Division. Previously, because the 192nd Division threatened the Japanese on the left, the Japanese in Chu County had to leave a large number of troops behind. On the one hand,  They were worried about a surprise attack by the 192nd Division, and at the same time they wanted to protect the main transportation route from Nanjing to Chuxian.

    But now that Quanjiao City has been captured by the Japanese army, the Japanese army is completely relieved that there is no threat. Soon a brigade of troops was transferred from Chuxian County and went north to reinforce the Chongteng detachment. At the same time, some artillery units were also transferred to the Fengyang line.  Go to war.

    Under the crazy attacks of the Japanese army, the defenders' defense lines were conquered one by one, and the losses continued to increase.

    Fengyang City was captured by the Japanese army at 11 a.m. on April 10. Only 2,000 of the more than 6,000 national troops defending the city withdrew. Less than six hours later, Guangming City was also captured by the Japanese army, and the 8,000 defenders were also captured.  The losses were heavy, and less than 4,000 people evacuated to Banqiao Town for rest.

    At this time, the three Japanese armies were encircling Bengbu City after making a major breakthrough. Although the defenders were still blocking the Japanese advance, everyone could see that the defenders were no longer able to stop the Japanese advance.  .

    Hefei. Third Theater Command!

    The senior officers of the Third War Zone who had just experienced the Japanese air raid all looked unhappy. An aerial bomb just exploded on the street outside the war zone headquarters, directly destroying the headquarters wall. Several people facing the street were  A house was also destroyed.

    Fortunately, Gu Zhu and others had already evacuated to the basement at that time, otherwise they might also have been affected.

    "Tap tap tap"

    With the sound of hurried footsteps, Chief of Staff Huang Baitao hurriedly walked in from outside. Seeing Chief Gu checking the map, he immediately came over and said: "There is an emergency on the Bengbu front line, Guangming has been lost, and the Seventh Division has suffered heavy casualties!"

    Hearing this, Chief Gu put the magnifying glass in his hand on the table, raised his head and said: "Dingyuan and Fengyang have been lost, Guangming has also been lost, and the Seventh Division is in big trouble now!"

    "Who says otherwise? At this time, Bengbu City is directly facing the siege of two Japanese infantry divisions and a mixed brigade. Both in terms of military strength and firepower, they are far inferior to the Japanese army. I am afraid that Bengbu City cannot be defended!" Huang Baitao!  road.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????All the Seventh Division has been lost in Bengbu. We need to take care of them!  "

    "Sir, are you planning to send troops to reinforce Bengbu?" Huang Baitao asked immediately.

    "It's too late. Water from far away can't quench our thirst! There aren't many available troops near Bengbu. The rest are hundreds of kilometers away from them. When the reinforcements arrive, the day lilies will be cold. I want to withdraw the Seventh Division!" Commander Gu!  Said in a deep voice.

    "Withdraw? This is a good idea, but will the Military Commission agree?" Huang Baitao said.

    "It should be no problem. The purpose of guarding Bengbu by the Seventh Division is to delay the Lunan side. Now that Taierzhuang has won the battle, the Seventh Division has completed its mission. The pursuit battle in the Fifth Theater is also  It¡¯s almost over, and I don¡¯t think the Military Commission will stop Bengbu from being detected by the Seventh Division.¡±

    Gu Zhutong then continued: "What's more, the Seventh Division can be said to have a name on the committee now. No one dares to casually sacrifice a Class A division unless necessary!"

    "Well, I will send a report to the Military Commission right now, requesting the temporary withdrawal of the Seventh Division! Otherwise, this elite team will be really doomed!" Huang Baitao said.

    "Well, let's go!"

    A few minutes later, Huang Baitao came back with a telegram and said with a smile: "The Military Commission has agreed to withdraw the 7th Division, and in view of their outstanding performance, the Military Commission decided to transfer them to Fuyang  After a period of rest, we are also ordered to transfer three regiments of supplementary troops to the 7th Temporary Division and make up for all the lost weapons and equipment!"

    Commander Gu nodded and said: "Although the Seventh Division did not directly participate in the Taierzhuang Battle, it blocked the two Japanese divisions on the southern front for more than ten days. It can be said that it made great contributions to the Taierzhuang Battle.  If they had not been born into the Northeastern Army, it would have been no problem to be upgraded to the B-type Army based on this battle alone. It is really difficult to commend such a great contribution as the Seventh Division with just a few additional soldiers and weapons and equipment!"

    "There is no way. The Seventh Division is from the Northeast Army, and it is also from the 67th Army. They are the absolute direct relatives of Marshal Zhang. The commissioner is still very concerned about this!" Huang Baitao said with a sigh.

    For the 7th Division and Li Guoyao himself, the heads and heads of the theater commander's department still prefer it. After all, this unit is very powerful in combat. It basically will not shirk the orders of its superiors, let alone obey them covertly. Such  Everyone likes the troops.

    "No more talking, let's quickly send a report to the solemn side and ask them to evacuate the fire pit in Bengbu as soon as possible, otherwise it may be too late!" Chief Gu said immediately.

    "Yes! I'm going right now!"
