Dang!”

A loud noise came from the combat room, and all the officers were startled. Everything went smoothly since the counterattack began. In less than half a day, the 102nd and 60th Army, which were attacking head-on, broke through the Japanese defense line and were attacking in depth.

The 22nd Right-wing Army broke through the defense of a battalion of the Japanese 231 Regiment with the momentum of a tiger descending to the mountain. The 125th Division of the 45th Army occupied Changshou Town and cut off the connection between the east and west sides of the Han River. The 126th Division was entering Zhongxiang and the 127th Division detoured towards the East Bridge. The 41st Army pursued and annihilated the remaining Japanese troops with the 122nd Division (after Wang Mingzhang was killed, the three divisions of the 102nd Army changed their numbers, and the 122nd Division returned to the 41st Army). The 123rd Division and the 124th Division were detoured to the inn under the command of the commander Chen Dingxun.

The 78th Army of the left wing defeated two brigades of the 232nd Regiment. The 36th Division was running towards Yang Ji, while the other two divisions were chasing the Japanese army relentlessly.

The counterattacks of the Sixty and Eighth Army were also extremely smooth. The frontiers of the Japanese army were all defeated. After the Eighth Army (owing 40th Division) defeated the Japanese army in front of him, they were detouring towards the 58th Division. Wang Guobin commanded the Sixtyth Army and bit the main force of the 58th Division and did not give him any opportunity to adjust and deploy.

On the west bank of the Han River, at the Huangjiachao Ferry Crossing, the Ninth Mixed Brigade, which was crossing the river, was attacked by the Chinese Air Force, and the troops suffered heavy losses.

The situation on the entire battlefield was unprecedentedly beneficial to the squadron. The 39th Division fell into chaos under internal and external attacks, and all units were fighting alone, and the battlefield was completely controlled by the squadron.

In this case, the headquarters was filled with a sense of ease, not as nervous as the previous battle, but this ease was shattered by a telegram.

"Far! What's the random hair! Lieing about military aircraft is the crime of beheading! You ask them to investigate! Who is he talking nonsense!"

He Wei, who was focusing on observing the situation, was frightened and turned around and saw Zhuang Jihua cursing at the combat staff with a telegram. Xu Zuyi, who was in front of the sand table, hurried over and arrived. When he arrived, he found that Zhuang Jihua had an abnormal blush and stared at the staff in front of him with fierce eyes. Xu Zuyi even suspected that if he had a knife in his hand, he would chop him without hesitation.

Seeing that Zhuang Jihua was holding the telegram's hand trembling slightly, Xu Zuyi knew something was wrong, so he quickly waved his hand to let the staff go out, and then said to Zhuang Jihua: "Whatever the Cultural Revolution, don't worry, who's the telegram is this."

Zhuang Jihua's eyes were still a little stunned, and Zhao Hanjie's face kept swelling in his mind, "My name is Goudan," "Are you the chief?" It seemed that what happened nearly twenty years ago only happened yesterday.

"Cultural Revolution. What's wrong with you?" Xu Zuyi found something wrong and hurriedly supported him. Wu Ziniu quickly brought the chair. Zhuang Jihua sat down. Xu Zuyi couldn't help but let his hand go.

"Commander, Commander." Wu Ziniu also found something wrong and called out repeatedly. Zhuang Jihua's eyes were a little dull. Wu Ziniu was so anxious that he turned around. Xu Zuyi was wise in a hurry: "Call the Secretary of the Palace."

Wu Ziniu hurriedly ran to call Gong Xiuhua. After Gong Xiuhua came, the war room was already a little messy. All the officers surrounded Zhuang Jihua. When Gong Xiuhua arrived, they automatically made way.

"Secretary Gong, come and have a look, I don't know what's going on." Xu Zuyi quickly pulled Gong Xiuhua to the front. Gong Xiuhua felt a little embarrassed when he saw Zhuang Jihua's appearance, but she quickly calmed down: "Chief Xu, let everyone do whatever they should do, the battle is still going on."

Xu Zuyi was a little surprised. He stood up and looked at the officers around him, and scolded him sternly: "What are you doing! What are you doing? What are you doing! You are all back to your post. Director He, the commander, can't take matters, report to me immediately if there is any situation."

Everyone was also shocked and immediately dispersed. He Wei agreed loudly and returned to the map. He was extremely nervous. If Zhuang Jihua didn't get up at this time, it would have an immeasurable impact on the entire battle situation.

Gong Xiuhua flipped through Zhuang Jihua's eyelids, and then said to Wu Ziniu: "Get a glass of water."

Wu Ziniu immediately turned around, and Gong Xiuhua added: "It's going to be cool."

"I'll go." Lian Xiaosen shouted outside, turned around and ran away, and soon brought a basin of well water. Gong Xiuhua scooped half a cup with a cup, poured it hard on Zhuang Jihua's face, and then slapped him hard.

Under the double stimulation, Zhuang Jihua's tense nerves finally relaxed. When his hands were loose, the telegram fell to the ground, his body raised back, and a whine: "He has just gotten married."

Xu Zuyi picked up the telegram, browsed it quickly, and then breathed a light tone. Wu Ziniu came over and felt a bad feeling in his heart. The content of the telegram was the main reason for Zhuang Jihua's loss. He instinctively wanted to know the above content.

"Hanjie!" Wu Ziniu also let out a wail, with tears in his eyes. Only then did he understand what Zhuang Jihua meant when he just got married.

"Cultural Revolution, wake up! Wake up! Don't forget that the battle is still going on! Guangting and the others are still on the front line!" Gong Xiuhua shouted softly, feeling miserable in his heart at this moment. Zhao Hanjie was killed and they knew him in Guangzhou. However, at that time, Zhao Hanjie was still just a child who had not woken up. The friendship between them began in Chongqing, and at that time he had become a strong soldier.

Zhuang Jihua's eyes turned, and the military doctor rushed over panting. Zhuang Jihua didn't ask him to check himself, so he stood up and his body shook. Gong Xiuhua hurriedly supported him, but he pushed Gong Xiuhua away and strode to the map.

"The command headquarters of the 39th Division has been eliminated, and now they are completely disrupted." Zhuang Jihua's voice was low and powerful. There was a cloud of water on his chest, and his eyes were firm: "I ordered all departments to boldly intersperse and attack boldly, and the Japanese were completely in chaos."

He Wei looked at Zhuang Jihua with some concern. From the current point of view, the reaction of the 39th Division on the main battlefield was indeed abnormal. It was several beats slower than the previous Japanese army. He was completely attracted by face-to-face attacks and was completely in a passive state of being beaten.

But this situation has not been confirmed, and it seems inappropriate to take action boldly. But before he could speak, Zhuang Jihua said again: "There is no need to go to the East Bridge by ordering the 127th Division, and immediately seize the Laowutai and Xiongjiagou, and completely close the door of the 39th Division's escape south.

The order was to strengthen the attack, and it was necessary to occupy the front line of Qigutai, Yuanyangxia, before sunset today, blocking the 39th Division's escape eastward route. The order was to give up the enemy in front of the face and immediately intersperse into the inn, and be sure to intersperse before tonight.

He ordered Sun Zhen to attack boldly. The 41st Army was too slow to move. He told Zeng Suyuan that he had to fight to Kedian Town today. There was only one Qiandao Brigade in his direction. Their movement was too slow to tell them that those who missed the opportunity could deal with it on the spot."

He Wei was shocked and adjusted the deployment now. It was too bold. He quickly advised: "Commander, there is a 233rd Regiment near the inn, so be careful."

"No, Sumida is dead, the 233rd Regiment has no leader, so I will execute it immediately." Zhuang Jihua flatly refused, with no room for negotiation in his tone.

Xu Zuyi gave He Wei a wink, and He Wei turned around and made arrangements. Xu Zuyi then said, "Cultural Revolution, you can rest. I will notify you immediately if there is any situation."

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and shouted at He Wei's back: "Tell all the troops that they will not leave prisoners!"

He Wei's body shook slightly, then turned around: "Yes."

"Cultural Revolution..." Xu Zuyi was about to persuade.

"Hanjie has followed me for nearly twenty years, and he followed me in 1925! We are all together in the eastern and northern expeditions. Now he has died, and the Japanese must be buried with him!"

Under Zhuang Jihua's fierce gaze, Xu Zuyi shivered. He looked at Wu Ziniu, who was staring at him with red eyes and Wang Xiaoshan and Song Yunfei who rushed over after hearing the news. Their eyes were all red. He even had some doubts. If he said no, these people would immediately pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

He suddenly felt that the people around Zhuang Jihua and the people he had always been with him could no longer be expressed by his old subordinates, but brothers, brothers who depend on life and death.

Under Zhuang Jihua's somewhat unreasonable orders and urging, the squadron's attack became even more violent. In just one day, most of the Echida brigade of the 213th Regiment was wiped out, the brigade leader Echida was shot dead, and more than a hundred remaining soldiers were surrounded on the north side of the inn. The Zhucun brigade and the Uchimaen brigade were completely defeated. The troops were divided and surrounded on a series of hills. The brigade leader Oura Ginjiro was killed by bombing by the Chinese Air Force during a counterattack, and the entire brigade was disintegrated.

The right wing of the 39th Division was attacked by the 41st Army. After receiving the order, Sun Zhen ordered the adjustment of the deployment and arranged the three divisions side by side. The 122nd Division, led by the division commander Zhang Xuanwu, rushed directly to the inn, the 123rd Division rushed to Shujialing, and the 124th Division rushed to Pijiawan.

In the evening, the fate of the 39th Division was decided in this barren mountainous area in northern Hubei. The 231st Regiment was divided and surrounded, dying. The Chiyo Brigade of the 232nd Regiment on the left wing was destroyed. The kimonote of the Dingwu Brigade of the 232nd Regiment on the right wing was divided and surrounded. The captain of the 232nd Regiment on the 331st Regiment was shot dead, and the captain of the Dingwu Shaofu was seriously injured and surrounded.

The 233rd Regiment, which was left near the inn, was originally a division reserve, but the corps leader Saito Keisan was bombed by the Chinese Air Force after reinforcement of the division headquarters and died after being seriously injured. In a hurry, the captain of the brigade and Yuichi, who stayed in the inn, took over the command. However, at this time, the corps contact with the other friendly forces was completely interrupted. It took more than two hours to find out the situation of the front line. It seemed that there were squadrons everywhere in the area, and there were rumbling cannons in the distance to the north, but there were already squadrons appearing near the inn.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yuanhe finally made a judgment. The squadron had invested at least two armies in this direction. The front had collapsed and could not be recovered. The left wing had disappeared and the right wing was disappearing. Yuanhe made the correct judgment and retreated immediately, retreating towards Zhongxiang.

But he hesitated for too long. The 122nd Division had already arrived and launched an attack on Xiwangfeng, the barrier to the west of the inn, and fought fiercely with the Hirai brigade stationed here. Before Yuanhe could react, the 123rd Division appeared near the Monkey King Village south of the inn. Then the 107th Division, which came from the front, launched an attack on the inn, entangling the Nomura brigade stationed at the inn.

At this point, Yuanhe had no other choice but to fight in the inn.
