"Order Lan Yundong to strengthen the offensive, do not be afraid of sacrifice, be sure to hold Kanda back and not let him divide his troops across the river."

"Telection Guo Jian said that Yamamoto's troops were only a few thousand people, and nearly 100,000 troops of the 92nd Army and the 86th Army were nearly 100,000. Why did they continue to be delayed? Those who miss the opportunity to fight and those who fail to fight will be engaged in military law."

"Telection Sun Zhen to order the 39th Division to be annihilated tonight, and the 126th Division must occupy Zhong Xiang tonight and do not delay!"

"Telection Du Yuming that the 102nd Division of the 60th Army immediately turned to Anlu and established a blocking position on the west bank of the Fuhe River. The rest of the troops pursued boldly without any concerns."

"Tele to Feng Zhi'an that the mission of the 33rd Army was changed to restrain and delayed the 104th Division. This is the only force Anan Weiji can save the situation. Tell him how much the loss is and how much I will supplement him after the war. As long as the 104th Division does not appear in the Dahongshan area, he will be a great achievement."

"We sent a telegram to Fan Hanjie that our army had broken the Japanese central line on the southern line and separated the main force of the Japanese army on the east and west lines of the Han River. The Japanese front line was in a state of disintegration. The Japanese army in North China was bound to go south to reinforce. It is crucial to cut off the Pinghan line. In order to ensure the successful counterattack on the southern line, the Fifth Army must cut off the Pinghan line and not allow the Japanese army in North China to go south."

"Telection, Sun Lianzhong, Li Pinxian, strengthened the attack on Xinyang. The 31st Army immediately turned to Wusheng Pass and did not allow the Third Division to go south. The 48th Army let go to southern Henan and took down Guangshan, the same thing, the fight was good, the expansion after the war, and the fighting was not good. I don't care which faction he is, and all the arrangements will be reduced and withdrawn after the war."

He Wei quickly recorded the record, and Xu Zuyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Zhuang Jihua's deployment, everything was covered, with almost no loopholes, and all the possible changes in the Japanese army were calculated.

"Send power to the Chairman, the counterattack in northern Hubei has been launched, the 39th Division has been completely divided and surrounded, the 58th Division is fleeing south in panic, and the main force of the Japanese army is isolated on the west coast of the Han River. If this battle is won, the main force of the enemy's 11th Army will be completely wiped out, and Wuhan can fight down. In order to achieve this goal, we request the order of Commander Xue of the Ninth War Zone to send troops to northern Hunan immediately; Commander Gu of the Third War Zone to immediately counterattack Nanchang, Commander of the First War Zone to immediately counterattack Zhengzhou, and drag down all Japanese troops."

Xu Zuyi nodded slightly. Zhuang Jihua had already predicted all possible things. If he did take action, it would be even more difficult for the main force of the 11th Army to escape from northern Hubei. However, he still planned to add one thing:

"Order all units to attack overnight and do not give the Japanese army any breathing opportunity."

"Chief Xu said it well. Whether or not Kantian can be eliminated depends on whether Sun Zhen can annihilate the 39th Division tonight." Zhuang Jihua said calmly, tapping his fingers on the map, and the location was the inn.

This was destined to be a night without any tranquility. Both the enemy and us were rushing to adjust their deployment and mobilize their troops. The artillery fire in northern Hubei was constantly stopped all night, and the squadrons attacked at night regardless of fatigue and casualties, without giving the Japanese army a chance to breathe.

The inn was fired for two days, and the 102nd Army and the 41st Army surrounded the small inn, and the artillery fire broke through the night, dyeing the sky of the inn blood-red. The gunshots of the mountains around them were not extinguished, and the flames soared into the sky, flashing the figures of Chinese soldiers everywhere.

The entire 39th Division was completely in chaos. The remaining soldiers of each unit, led by the officers, shrank in one place and struggled to withstand the rain of bullets from all sides under the artillery fire of the squadron.

Yuanhe was completely desperate. Kedian Town was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the whole town was surrounded by mountains. Once these hills were lost, the fate of the Kedian was self-evident. Now the three brigades of his corps have been all involved in the blockade on all sides, but calls for help in the middle of the night kept coming. The baggage troops were sent, and the search corps were sent, and there were only two engineer squadrons left in the town.

The atmosphere of the command center in the town was heavy, and its contact with other division troops had been interrupted, but even if it was contacted, it was not helpful at all. Harada shouted at his subordinates loudly on the phone, shooting this one and then shooting that one. But he still couldn't stop the constant sound of the phone.

Before dawn, the 122nd Division first broke through the dishuyan to the west. Zhang Xuanwu personally went to the front line to command the 364th Brigade to advance into the town. Officers at all levels pressed forward at all levels, and the platoon leaders took the lead in charging. Political workers continued to inspire morale in the team. The Japanese interception was destroyed again and again, and they rushed to the Bazhe River when they saw it.

Yuanhe was powerless to fight back and could only watch the entire defense circle be torn apart.

With the breakthrough of the 122nd Division, the 123rd Division and the 124th Division also broke through the Japanese defense one after another. The 102nd Army and the 78th Army that were pressing from the north and west also occupied Dongzishan and Laowushan in the north. The inn defense circle was divided, and Yuanhe would withdraw the participating troops back to the inn and continue to hold on.

Further south, in Zhongxiang City, the puppet army headquarters, and the Heping 29th Division under the puppet central China camp, a middle-aged man in Zhongshan suit sat upright on a chair. The puppet army officers in the room were all staring at the division commander Zou Pingfan, who was paced back and forth in the center of the room.

"Sir Zou, why are you hesitating? All the orders have been told in the letter. If you return now and redeem your sins, not only will your father forgive you, but you can return to your hometown and re-list the Zou family genealogy. The country will also forgive you, and the lives of the six thousand brothers from the twenty-ninth division can be saved." The middle-aged man said calmly and steadily.

Zou Pingfan is in a dilemma now. He is a serious Huangpu student. He graduated from the sixth class and is a classmate of Dai Li. He used to serve as a combat staff officer in the First War Zone. Later, he was transferred to the Chongqing Garrison Command as the leader. The next year he fled from Chongqing, ran to Wuhan, defected to Wang Jingwei, and was wanted by Chiang Kai-shek.

He was from Fushun, Sichuan. After escaping from Chongqing, his father immediately published a newspaper and broke his father-son relationship with him. He used the name in the genealogy and transformed him into the genealogy of the Fushun Zou family.

But not long ago, the Military Commission personnel came to him with his father's letter and asked him to return.

Zou Pingfan was not worried about the Japanese army in the city. There was only one squadron in the city, and his 29th Division had 3,000 people in the city. But he was hesitant about whether the Fifth War Zone could defeat the Japanese army. If not, his 29th Division would be surrounded by the Japanese army.

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry. He took the tea cup leisurely and took advantage of the tea. He quietly glanced at his watch. There was still half an hour left. In half an hour, the 126th Division would arrive at Zhongxiang City and then attack the city.

"Teacher Commander, I think it's OK. As long as you attack the city, my troops can cooperate in the city." Chief of Staff Yang Dongcheng said.

The middle-aged man smiled coldly in his heart. He understood what Yang Dongcheng meant. If he could not attack Zhong Xiang, then they would not need to.

"Okay," Zou Pingfan put away the letter of appointment on the table. The letter of appointment had been left there overnight: "Order the troops to enter wartime state."

An hour later, the 126th Division arrived at Zhong Xiang, and the division commander Yang Shixuan took the lead and rushed into Zhong Xiang without fear. After a brief battle, Zhong Xiang fell into the hands of the squadron.

The connection between the Japanese army's east-west line was completely broken.

But Zhuang Jihua was not satisfied with this result and cursed the three army leaders Sun Zhen, Guo Xunqi, Zhong Bin in the telegram.

"….., the 39th Division is the key to the entire battle situation. If you delay and delay, Kanda will definitely escape. I repeat that any act of preserving strength will be pursued after the war. The 126th Division of the 45th Army boldly attacked and successfully conquered Zhongxiang. Hereby commend the 125th Division occupied Changshou and commended it."

Zhuang Jihua's anger shocked all the generals of the participating troops. They knew that Zhuang Jihua could do it; and at this time, Chiang Kai-shek's telegram also arrived.

All the favorable opportunities before the emergence of northern Hubei excited the Chongqing base camp. Chiang Kai-shek summoned He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and Lin Wei to discuss, and decided to seize this opportunity and reverse the entire battle situation in one fell swoop.

"The Battle of Hubei has developed into a decisive battle. All participating troops must fight bravely to fight the enemy. If any timid and timid move is taken, the Military Commission will punish you strictly. The 19th War Zone has been mobilized and will launch a restraining attack on the Japanese army. I hope you will work hard to create a great victory and inspire the people's confidence in the war of resistance!!!"

Chiang Kai-shek's telegram made all the generals no longer worry. On the west bank of the Han River, Guo Jian commanded the 92nd Army and the 86th Army to attack from the left and right wings, and launched a fierce battle with the 17th Division and Yamamoto's troops in Kongwan. The commander of the 17th Division's division, Shengren, had no choice but to leave the 81st Regiment, and led the 53rd Regiment and the 54th Regiment to retreat northward.

When the sun shook the darkness, the Chinese Air Force once again ruled the sky. The Fourth Air Force Division, which belonged to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, devoted all its strength to northern Hubei according to Chiang Kai-shek's orders; the First and Second Air Force Divisions responsible for guarding Chongqing were also devoted to the sky in northern Hubei.

A large number of planes soared on both sides of the Han River, and the earth was covered with smoke. At the ferry, Niu Daoman, the commander of the 36th Brigade, stood between a broken tiles and wall near the ferry. On the Han River, engineers were working hard to repair bridges. In the sky, the Chinese Air Force whistled towards the ground, and a series of bombs raised water columns.

Last night, Niu Daoman led his troops to arrive here and started building bridges for a moment. By dawn, the pontoon bridge was finally reached. But as soon as a group of Chinese planes crossed the river, a large group of Chinese planes roared and bombed the Japanese army crossing the river. In just one morning, the pontoon bridge was blown up three times.

"Order the troops to scatter the river, and there is a boat to gather on the other side of the river! Take action immediately! Move quickly!" Niu Daoman gave this order helplessly. The situation on the east bank of the river was already extremely critical and could no longer be delayed: "Order Colonel Chao Ben to lead the crossing troops immediately to seize Yangjiagang, Ganjiapo, and Taihe Mountain to cover the main force of the division to cross the river."

"Boom!" "Boom!" The Chinese Air Force had discovered that the Japanese troops gathered on the shore began to bomb continuously. The Japanese troops waiting to cross the river were forced to disperse. The horses neighed in an irritable way in the sound of explosions and dragged a large cart to run wildly on the shore.

A bomb exploded in the hidden baggage force, triggering a series of explosions and the ferry became even more chaotic.

"Bastard!" Niu Dao was so angry that he drew his sword to cut the pillars beside him into two pieces. The logistics supply route had been cut off. He had to fight bloody battles along the way. The ammunition was extremely precious. These lost ammunition may soon be fatal.

The explosion also declared the end of the bombing. The Chinese Air Force gathered in the air calmly, and then flew towards the west, leaving a mess in the ground.

After the plane flew away, the engineers rushed up again to repair the blown pontoon bridge. The officers shouted loudly and tried to gather troops. On both sides of the pontoon bridge, some small boats carried a few people to a dozen people to drive towards the opposite shore. The sound of cannons came faintly from the distance of the other shore. The sound of cannons filled the hearts of all officers and soldiers, which meant that the squadron was not unprepared for their actions.

The Japanese army crossed the river to reinforce the situation on the west bank, but the eastern bank, the center of the entire battle situation, could no longer hold on.
