    The fall of Hefei was definitely a bolt from the blue for the 61st Army on the front line.

    Not only because Hefei is an important town in northern Anhui and the headquarters of the Third War Zone Commander, but more importantly, once Hefei falls, the remaining troops of the 61st Army stationed in Huainan City will be in danger.

    Hefei is very close to Huainan. Once the Japanese army continues to move north, the Huainan defenders will bear the brunt.

    "Except for Li Guoyao's troops, all around him were Japanese soldiers.

    As far as Li Guoyao knows, in addition to Shiro Inaba's Sixth Division, there are also the Japanese Third Division, the Second Regiment of the Fifth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, etc. on the southern front. Once these troops swarm around, not only  Huainan cannot be defended, and even Mengcheng is difficult to defend.

    What¡¯s more important is that the 61st Army is now in great danger. If the top Japanese military leaders are determined to eat them, the consequences will be disastrous.

    Fortunately, the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone was also aware of this problem. Shortly after the fall of Hefei, he notified Li Guoyao's command and ordered their troops remaining in Huainan to withdraw at once.

    At this time, Li Guoyao also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately called the troops on the Huainan front line to evacuate immediately!

    However, Li Guoyao still underestimated the speed of the Japanese army. Just when he ordered to reach the Huainan front line, the Huainan defenders also sent a telegram reporting that a large number of Japanese troops had been discovered in the northeast of Huainan. The enemy was divided into three teams, front, middle and rear.  No less than fifteen thousand people.

    At the same time, a large number of Japanese troops were also discovered on the southern line of Huainan. Although the Japanese troops on this route were not as large as those in the northeast, they still had the strength of a regiment.

    At this time, two groups of Japanese troops were rushing towards Huainan, obviously heading for the 61st Army.

    After receiving the telegram from Xu Hu and others from the Huainan front line, Li Guoyao fell into deep thought. The little devils were determined to eliminate them, and even the Sixth Division came to join in the fun.

    It is conceivable that once the troops in Huainan are bitten by the Japanese army, the rest of the Japanese army will inevitably swarm up and swallow up the main force of the 61st Army.

    If it was a month ago, Li Guoyao would not be afraid when he arrived, but not now. The reason is that the army has recruited a large number of new recruits during this period. Although these people have also received short-term recruit training, they are still older than becoming qualified soldiers.  Long way to go.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Didn't you let them fight with the Japanese elite at this time?

    Especially this time they are not facing ordinary Japanese troops, including the Third Division and the Sixth Division. These are the first-class A-class divisions in the Japanese army, and they are definitely not like the Ninth Division and the 13th Division.  It can't be compared with second-rate goods.

    To be honest, with the current state of the 61st Army, if they really set up a battle formation, regardless of external factors such as strategy and terrain, they would be able to draw a tie with the Sixth Division at most.

    At present, the Japanese army not only has the Sixth Division, but also the Third Division, which is also an A-class division, the Ninth Division and the 13th Division, as well as the heavy artillery brigade and aviation directly under the Central China Front.

    If the 61st Army is really surrounded, the consequences will be disastrous.

    After thinking again and again, Li Guoyao decided to abandon Huainan immediately, and the main force immediately moved north.

    After receiving the telegram from Li Guoyao from the front line of Shuangjian Town, Xu Hu and others did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the three brigades in and around Huainan to gather immediately, then go north along the highway and rush to Mengcheng.

    However, what made Xu Hu and others feel depressed was that as soon as they had finished gathering and hit the road, the Japs' air force appeared, and then chased Xu Hu's troops and bombed them.

    With the harassment of the Little Japanese Air Force, not only the marching speed of the troops was affected, but the losses were also considerable.

    Fortunately, it was almost dark at this time, and the Japanese army had to return after harassing them for less than an hour.

    However, at this time, the main force of the Japanese Third Division was approaching Huainan. Its cavalry regiment had even arrived outside Huainan City. After discovering that Huainan had become an empty city, its cavalry regiment did not even enter the city.  They pursued directly to the north.

    The speed of the cavalry was very fast. As soon as Xu Hu and others withdrew to Fengtai, they received a report from the rear team that a group of Japanese cavalry had followed, and the distance between the two sides was less than ten kilometers.

    Hearing this, Xu Hu and others were furious. After all, they had three Category A brigades. Although they were not full, they totaled less than 20,000 people. I remember they were chased away by more than a thousand Japanese cavalry. What the hell was going on?  Son!

    After a brief thought, Xu Hu immediately decided to eat the Japanese cavalry unit.

    The area in northern Anhui is flat and there are relatively few hills, so the Japanese army can rideThe troops advanced rashly, after all, this terrain was really suitable for a cavalry charge.

    But the little devil obviously didn¡¯t know that Li Guoyao¡¯s troops were not only good at defensive operations, but also good at ambushes. Mountain ambush battles and plain ambush battles were both Li Guoyao¡¯s specialties.

    After such a long period of cooperation, Xu Hu also learned a lot, including the inverted triangle ambush formation.

    Seeing that the little Japanese was too arrogant, Xu Hu immediately ordered the newly-organized 100th Brigade to deploy a regiment, and then mobilized a mechanized battalion from the Dujiu Brigade and the Du 15th Brigade, and then set up an ambush outside Fengtai City.

    At this time, Captain Hoshi Zentaro of the Japanese Third Division Cavalry Regiment, who was marching in a hurry, never thought that in just half an hour, their cavalry unit with a glorious tradition and brilliant record would be their prey.  Destroyed, wiped out from the battle sequence of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    As the vanguard of the Third Division, the Cavalry Regiment has always been the most relied-upon mobile force of the Division. The order they received today was to catch up with the army in front and entangle them.

    However, what Hoshi Zentaro and others did not expect was that although the opponent was an infantryman, they were marching very fast. They chased them from Huainan to Fengtai County without catching up.

    On top of the war horse, Lieutenant Colonel Ishii Jinichi, deputy commander of the regiment, patted the horse's butt and asked: "Captain of the regiment, we are approaching Fengtai City soon. Do we still want to continue the pursuit?"

    Hoshi Zentaro almost did not hesitate and immediately replied: "If the person does not stop in Fengtai County, the imperial army is not allowed to stop and must catch up and trap him!"

    "But marching at night can easily be ambushed by the enemy!"

    "Baga, that person is already a panicked rabbit, how could he have the guts to ambush the imperial army?"

    Then Zentaro Hoshi continued: "What's more, ambush battles have extremely high terrain requirements. Ambush battles cannot be fought in areas other than mountains, valleys, and ravines. The terrain from Huainan to Fengtai is flat. How could we be ambushed by the enemy?  Have any of you ever seen an ambush on the plains?"

    "Sir, you are right. No one will lay an ambush on the plains. The plains belong to our cavalry!" Ishii Jinichi hurriedly agreed.

    However, before he finished speaking, he heard a clear gunshot a few hundred meters ahead, followed by a red signal flare suddenly rising into the sky.

    Then, a flare was raised from both directions, instantly illuminating the dark road!

    Before the Japanese cavalry on the road could react, they heard fierce gunshots suddenly rang out from the left and right sides and from the front. Then Hoshi Zentaro and others saw the cavalry quickly charging to the next large area in an instant, and the others changed.  He was panicked, and the whole army was in chaos for a while.

    Hoshi Zentaro and others were confused. Where did the enemy army come from? How could they ambush them on the plain? Moreover, they also sent a vanguard in front of the army. What did those people do for food? How come the enemy's ambush was not discovered?

    Not only Zentaro Hoshi couldn¡¯t figure it out, but actually all the Japanese officers were confused. They were surrounded by plains, so why were their troops suddenly attacked?

    The most important thing is that the bullets are coming from strange places, not only on the left side of the army, but also on the right side, and even from the front!

    " Moreover, the enemy's firepower was very intensive, and the bullets came like a violent storm. The horses with huge targets had almost no blind spots to avoid. The first round of strikes alone caused the cavalry regiment to lose one-third of its strength.

    Naturally, Hoshi Zentaro could not know that this was a plain ambush tactic invented by Li Guoyao. This tactic can be set up at any time and anywhere without being restricted by terrain. All that is required is to dig a trench a meter deep on the ground. Before the battle begins,  Just hide the soldiers in a deep trench, cover them with wooden boards and sprinkle them with soil.

    ¡°As long as you don¡¯t walk in and observe, you won¡¯t be able to find it at all.

    Moreover, it is summer in northern Anhui, and the crops have grown very high. In addition, it is dark, so Xu Hu's troops do not even need to dig ditches, and can just hide the troops directly in the crop fields. Therefore,  The ambush position was set up in such a short period of time, catching the little devil by surprise.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
