    The battle in Lu'an City started at around 10 a.m. and ended at around 9 p.m. At the end of the bloody battle, the 13th Division launched 17 consecutive attacks, ranging from squadron to wing levels, and even dispatched aircraft.  and tanks, but still failed to capture Lu'an City.

    After a bloody day of fighting, the Japanese army lost its troops and generals. There were corpses abandoned by the Japanese army everywhere outside Lu'an City. It can be said that corpses were everywhere.

    After seeing the powerful combat power of Li Guoyao's troops, Tanaka Shizuichi had to order to stop the attack, and wait for the aviation force to cooperate after dawn tomorrow, and then coordinate the attack.

    In order to avoid a sneak attack by the city's defenders at night, Tanaka Shizuichi ordered the troops to retreat ten kilometers back, and also withdrew the division headquarters to Lijiacun in the west of the city.

    However, after discovering that the Japanese troops had withdrawn, the city's defenders took action again.  But this time it's not an attack, but a retreat!

    There are basically no Chinese troops around Lu'an City. Both Hefei in the back and Yeji and Gushi in the front have been occupied by the Japanese army, so Li Guoyao's troops are now alone.

    Even if they temporarily blocked the Japs' attack with strong city fortifications, it was only a moment of courage. Once the Japanese army concentrated their forces to deal with them, even Li Guoyao would have no choice. It should be noted that in the face of absolute strength, everything  Conspiracies and schemes are all paper tigers, vulnerable to attack.

    Because of this, before the battle started, Li Guoyao had planned that he would only fight for one day, and then retreat after beating the little devil in pain.

    Lu'an City was silent late at night. Although there was no rumbling gunfire, the battlefield was still filled with smoke. This was emitted by the ignited vegetation, and the entire Lu'an City was shrouded in smoke.

    With a "squeak", the south gate of the city was opened, and then a large number of national army officers and soldiers walked out of the city neatly, and then went straight to the endless mountains to the south!

    At seven o'clock the next morning, the little Japs from the 13th Division came outside Lu'an City again after breakfast, and then began to line up and prepare to attack the city.

    ¡°Then the Japanese artillery began to show its power, and dense artillery shells fell on the forward positions and city walls, blowing away large areas of sandbags and soil.

    The shelling lasted for several minutes, and then the Japanese infantry began to charge!

    But what puzzled the little devils was that even though they had entered the effective range of the defenders, the defenders' position on the opposite side was still quiet. Not only did the artillery not counterattack, but even the infantry was very calm.

    When the little devil plucked up the courage to rush into the defender's position, he found that the place was deserted. There was no one in the huge position, and there were not even corpses left, only bullet casings all over the ground.

    Then the Japanese army began to attack Lu'an City. Soon they found that the defenders had already abandoned the city. Except for some old and weak people who were inconvenient to move around, not even a young person could be seen in the city.

    13th Division Regiment Headquarters. Temporary Headquarters.

    After receiving the news from the frontline troops, Tanaka Jing swept all the documents on the table to the ground one by one, and shouted angrily: "Baga, how could the Chinese army escape? Baga!"

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the base camp strictly ordered our troops to retake Lu'an City, and asked us to annihilate all the enemies in front of us. Now that the Chinese army has escaped, our troops must pursue them!" the new chief of staff of the 13th Division said immediately.

    "Baga, our most important task now is not to pursue this Chinese force, but to restore the frontline supply line."

    "Hai!"

    "Order: Immediately dispatch a division search team to trace the evacuation direction of Li Guoyao's troops. At the same time, send a report to the defenders in the direction of Hefei, ordering them to immediately transport a batch of weapons, ammunition and food to Lu'an City!" Tanaka Jingyi said in a deep voice.

    "Hai!"

    In the Dabie Mountains, the remaining 5,000 men of the 61st Army finally left Lu'an City after a night of rapid march.

    But Li Guoyao still didn't dare to be careless. He knew very well how much the Japs hated him, and he would pursue them at all costs if he was not sure. So even though he knew that the soldiers were very tired, he still didn't dare to let them go.  Let's rest.

    At ten o'clock in the morning, the troops finally arrived at Xinkailing in the northwest of Huoshan County. It was only more than ten kilometers away from Huoshan County. The mountains were high and the forests were dense, so they were not afraid of Japanese aircraft reconnaissance. Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to rest on the spot.

    At the same time that Li Guoyao's troops were withdrawing to Macheng, the Japanese troops on the Gushi front also learned that the 13th Division had recaptured Lu'an City. Then the Second Army Headquarters immediately ordered the Japanese troops on the front to regroup.??Continue to attack the Chinese army facing them.

    ? Among them, the main part of the 10th Division attacked the Fujinshan defense line, while the 8th Brigade advanced westward along Huzupu and Taolinpu, with the front pointed directly at Huangchuan.

    Although the Fifth War Zone mobilized multiple troops and blocked the Japanese army many times along the march and on both sides, the Japanese army still captured Huangchuan in three roundabout ways after a fierce battle.

    On November 3, after three days and nights of bloody fighting, the main force of the Japanese 33rd Brigade finally defeated the remnants of the 71st Army and captured the Fujin Mountain position.

    At this point, Song Xilian's troops held on to Fujin Mountain for 14 days, delaying the attack of the Japanese 2nd Army with tenacious defense, killing and wounding more than 14,000 people from the Japanese 13th Division and 10th Division, and seriously injuring the commander of the 26th Brigade.  Major General Tokushige Numata, one of the four commanders of the 13th Division, suffered two casualties and two casualties, which bought the Chinese army valuable time to adjust its deployment and completely shattered the Japanese army's attempt to cross the Dabie Mountains and bypass Wuhan.

    Although the 36th Division was almost wiped out in this battle, with less than 300 people left when it finally withdrew from the Fujinshan position, it was still highly praised by the theater commander and the Wuhan Military Commission.

    On the morning of the 4th, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to the whole country to commend the entire army. In the commendation message, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek personally wrote: "The heroic achievements of Master Chen of the Song Army have been paid more than the price, especially the spirit is enough to make the enemy confirm that we are getting better and better as we fight."  Strong, the spirit of resistance has increased over time, making him short of breath."

    Subsequently, Chairman Chiang also called on the entire army to learn the spirit of the 36th Division, fight bravely, kill the enemy and serve the country. Song Xilian and Chen Ruihe both received the Huazhou Medal of Honor.

    However, the number of the 36th Division, the only remaining German division, dropped sharply from more than 10,000 to 300 in this battle, with almost all losses. The German division that the Nationalist Government had spent a lot of money to build had its last glory and glory. From then on, the national army never had a real  A German master in the sense.

    After conquering Fujin Mountain, the Japanese army cleared the troops' worries, and then took a short rest and waited for the 13th Division to restore its supply line before continuing to attack westward according to the planned plan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
