    Although General Judai Terauchi received a report from the Provisional Aviation Corps, he also knew that they suffered heavy casualties in the air raid just now, and a large number of fighter planes were shot down.

    But thinking that the infantry on the front line were struggling to attack the national defense line, and the Doihara division on the Lanfeng front line continued to rescue, Terauchi Juichi finally ordered not to retreat quickly to overcome all difficulties, and to reinforce Guide at all costs.

    After receiving the order from the North China Front Army Headquarters, the Japanese airfields in Jinan, Dezhou, Handan and other places north of the Yellow River took action and immediately took off to reinforce Guide.

    At the same time, the Central China Front Army also spent a lot of money, and dozens of fighter planes still took off to reinforce the operation.

    In view of the large number of national air defense troops in the city, this time the Japanese army placed almost all their fighter planes outside the city.

    When the overwhelming Japanese fighter planes roared down, although the national army at the front counterattacked in time, due to the large number of enemy infantry, the national army, whether it was light and heavy machine guns or anti-aircraft machine guns, could not concentrate on dealing with the Japanese fighter planes.

    In a very short period of time, most of the heavy equipment of the defenders was destroyed.

    With the cooperation of fighter planes, the Japanese infantry finally broke through the chasm and rushed into the defenders' trenches.

    After receiving the report from the front, Li Guoyao immediately ordered all troops to immediately abandon their peripheral positions and return to the city to defend.

    Soon, many walls of Guide City were destroyed by fierce Japanese artillery fire, and Japanese troops poured into the city from the gaps.

    At this critical moment, Liang Chenghu and Zhang Shaolin arrived in time with more than 15,000 elite Central Army troops.

    With this group of fresh troops, the Japanese troops who rushed into the city were quickly driven out, and the defense line was barely stabilized.

    In the next half day, the Japanese army launched seven more attacks in a row. However, the defenders received a large number of reinforcements and the defense line remained stable. By 6 p.m., the Japanese army on the Guide front line finally could not bear the huge casualties and stopped the attack.

    So far, the fighting between China and Japan on the Guide front line has finally stopped temporarily. It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t want to fight, but that they really have no strength.

    In this battle, the Japanese army invested one division and one brigade on the Guide front line, with a total strength of more than 26,000 people. The Chinese army invested three divisions plus a reinforced brigade under Li Guoyao, in addition to some of the  The troops directly under the 61st Army have a total strength of 39,000.

    As a result, after three days and three nights of bloody fighting, Li Guoyao's troops were almost completely destroyed. There were only a little more than 2,000 of the 14,000 men left. The situation of the 187th Division was similar. It lost a small number of people in less than a day after entering the battle.  Four thousand people.

    The ones with the smallest losses were undoubtedly the 24th Division and the 40th Division. Due to the short time they entered the battle, they only lost a little more than 3,000 men.

    Similarly, the Japanese army suffered extremely heavy losses. The Third Independent Brigade had less than 1,000 men left, and the 16th Division had less than 9,000 men left, with a loss of 16,000 men.

    One side suffered a loss of 16,000, and the other side suffered a loss of 19,000. Although the troops on the Guide front line were elites from both China and Japan, they still could not withstand such casualties.

    The most important thing is that neither side expected that the battle would be so fierce, so supplies and ammunition were extremely inadequately prepared. By now, both sides were exhausted and out of ammunition. They had no choice but to suspend the exchange of fire.  Waiting for assistance.

    The fighting on the Bozhou front line was equally fierce. By the time Xu Hu's troops withdrew to Bozhou, there were less than 10,000 people left in the 7th Division plus the 170th and 173rd Divisions of the Gui Army, including more than 2,000 wounded.

    You must know that the total strength of the three divisions before the war was nearly 25,000. Fighting from Mengcheng to Guoyang, and from Guoyang to Bozhou, the defenders lost two-thirds of their troops and almost 80% of their heavy equipment.  equipment.

    "Li Guoyao's previously proud artillery regiment was almost completely wiped out. Not to mention the heavy losses of soldiers, not a single large-caliber artillery was left, and only 6 small-caliber mortars were left in all the troops.

    The first and second battalions of the air defense regiment also suffered heavy losses. There were only eight of more than fifty anti-aircraft machine guns left, and the rest were all blown into scrap metal.

    Compared with the losses suffered by Li Guoyao's troops, the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses. However, as Fujita's headquarters joined forces with the Isogaya Lianjie headquarters on the Bozhou front line, the total strength of the Japanese troops on the Bozhou front line instantly exceeded 40,000.

    Ten thousand versus forty thousand, and the national army is still at a disadvantage in terms of strength. In this case, you can know the result even if you think about it.

    Although Li Guoyao repeatedly asked the troops to hold on, Xu Hu still called Li Guoyao at around 9 p.m. on the 31st, saying that the frontline troops could no longer hold on and requested to retreat.

    This time Li Guoyao did not refuse, but agreed to their retreat!

    After receiving the order from Li Guoyao,Xu Hu withdrew more than 6,000 remaining soldiers from the Bozhou front line and rushed to Guide to join Li Guoyao and others.

    Guoyang and Bozhou fell almost on the same day, which made the national army on the eastern Henan front line feel a huge threat, so Xue Yue ordered the troops to attack overnight.

    As Li Guoyao's troops held back a large number of Japanese troops on the southern front, the Japanese Army made another breakthrough on the 31st. Within one day, they successively captured three villages heavily garrisoned by Japanese troops on the outskirts of Sanyi Village, and regarded the Dofeihara Division as  Both of Horn's legs were broken.

    At this point, only Sanyi Village and a village not far away are left in the Doihara Division, and the number of soldiers has dropped to less than 1,300.

    Knowing that there was no hope of breaking through, and the reinforcements could not break through the enemy's defense line in front for a long time, Doihara Kenji immediately withdrew the defenders in another village and put all the soldiers in Sanyi Village. He wanted to defend the city to the death.

    At 1:30 in the morning on June 1, the main force of the four divisions of the First Corps surrounded Sanyi Village, and mobilized a large number of artillery to blast the Japanese fortifications in Sanyi Village in turn. The Doihara Division was about to be destroyed.

    At this time, the North China Front Army Headquarters and the Central China Front Army Headquarters learned that the troops on the southern front had captured Woyang and Bozhou, and immediately ordered the 3rd Division, 6th Division, 9th Division, 10th Division and the independent  The 13th Brigade pursued them all night and rushed to Guide.

    At around six o'clock in the morning, the Japanese troops on the southern front marched more than 60 kilometers in just eight hours and followed the road directly to Guide City.

    With the arrival of a large number of Japanese reinforcements, there were five Japanese division-level combat units outside the city, two independent brigades, and a dozen lieutenant generals and major generals in total.

    Moreover, the total strength of the Japanese troops outside the city has reached more than 50,000, while the national troops in Guide City are less than 30,000, of which 6,000 are wounded alone, and only 24,000 can go to the battlefield.  About half the size of the little devil.

    The atmosphere in the city is very solemn, and everyone can see that Guide City cannot be defended.

    However, just when everyone was panicking, Li Guoyao threw a depth charge. Commander Xue's First Corps had surrounded the Dofeiyuan Division in Sanyi Village. It was expected that the Japanese army would be wiped out at dawn at best. By then, East Henan  The main force will go south to reinforce Guide.

    When the news came, everyone was excited. After working hard for so many days, four or five divisions were wiped out on the southern front alone, in order to completely annihilate the Dofeihara Division!

    Now, finally, good news has come. The end of the Doihara Division is finally coming, and everyone is relieved of their gloom.

    Although the Japanese troops outside the city are strong and the city defenses in Guide City are in tatters, it seems that the Japanese army may rush into the city at any time, but so what, there are still more than 20,000 national troops in the city, even if they use human lives to fill them  Can last for two days.

    As long as reinforcements arrive, Guide will be saved.

    ?????????????????? To keep your virtue is definitely a great achievement. When the time comes, you will be rewarded. Although you won¡¯t be able to take the top merit, you will definitely be promoted and make a fortune.
