The 104th Division and the Second Mixed Brigade retreated northward, which was also beyond Zhuang Jihua's expectations. At first, he thought it was Anan Weiji's plan to lure the enemy. Du Yuming commanded the 60th Army to follow up slowly, and it was not too much pressure on the 104th Division. But in the next two days, Zhuang Jihua saw clearly that the purpose of the 104th Division heading north was to support the Third Division heading south.

The battle on the northern line also made Zhuang Jihua not very satisfied. The Fifth Army made every effort to block Gu Suoka and the troops heading south in North China. The two sides fought fiercely north of Queshan. However, Sun Lianzhong commanded the Second Army and the 21st Army to attack Xinyang, and the progress was still slow. The Seventh Army was stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army. After conquering Pingqiao, the progress was slow.

"After the Sixty Army is redirected, the 104th Division will be able to fully support Fengdao," Xu Zuyi said thoughtfully: "The 31st Army has to bear too much pressure. Do you see if you are transferring the Seventh Army to the south and reinforce Wusheng Pass."

Zhuang Jihua nodded: "Okay, just do it this way. You must delay Toshima and Suzuki (the commander of the 104th Division, Suzuki Satoji). Anan Weiji's purpose is to support the Third Division after heading south, and then support Kanda to break through. Anan Weiji thinks very beautifully."

This is how war is. Every change on the battlefield represents the commander's decision. The soldiers of the two armies compete for courage and will, while the commander fights with wisdom.

"The Bazimen, the Sixty Army will just go to one division," Xu Zuyi continued to suggest: "Once the Cultural Revolution, once Kanda completely breaks through the 125th Division and enters Huashang, it is possible to advance eastward or southward. Two divisions from the Sixty Army are drawn out and placed in Tianmen Ridge. This is the only way for Kanda to advance eastward."

Zhuang Jihua frowned and thought, and a smile appeared on his face: "I am so smart, just do it."

The two of them walked around the backyard. Gong Xiuhua came over with a food box. When they saw them, they complained in anger. Zhuang Jihua and Xu Zuyi did not defend themselves. They sat down and ate breakfast with pickles. Gong Xiuhua put the coat on Zhuang Jihua again.

"Did Chen Cixiu send a telegram? How was He Shengqiao fighting?" Zhuang Jihua asked Gong Xiuhua after taking a few sips of porridge.

"No, it's still the news from yesterday." Gong Xiuhua replied.

Chen Cheng personally supervised the battle, Xue Yue rushed his army to attack Hesheng Bridge. Qingmu Chengyi used the terrain and stood firm. The two sides fought fiercely. Seeing that they could not attack head-on, Xue Yue ordered the 19th Army to go out to the northeast of Xianning and attack and advance to the front line of Mengjiashan and Jinniu Town. He ordered the 10th Army and the 52nd Army to capture Jiayu, and then headed east along the south bank of the Yangtze River to attack the Hesheng Bridge defenders sideways.

As soon as Xue Yue pulled the battlefield away, Aoki Chengichi's troops suddenly felt insufficient and asked Anan Weiji for help. Anan Weiji had no choice but to hand over the advance team of the 15th Division and the Hashimoto Regiment to Aoki Chengichi.

Outside Wuhan City, Huanglingji, the sound of cannons shook the sky, gunfires and killing sounds echoed through the clouds. Wang Jingjiu attacked Huanglingji with the 11th Army and bravely defeated Guanjialing. The 44th Army and the 73rd Army detoured northward. He divided his troops to resist and fought tenaciously, and the battle situation was in a stalemate.

Xu Zuyi was secretly worried. Everyone knew the purpose of Chen Cheng flying to Changsha. Zhuang Jihua naturally refused to give in to the honor of restoring Wuhan. He stared at Kanda while staring at the Third Division, and also aimed at Wuhan.

"The Cultural Revolution, the restoration of Wuhan is of great honor, but it is not enough to chew more." Xu Zuyi advised tactfully: "I know you want to wipe out Kanda, wipe out Tengda, and regain Wuhan, but now it seems that our strength cannot achieve these goals. I think that if you can catch it, as long as you don't let Kanda escape, you will be victorious."

"Not enough," Zhuang Jihua shook his head firmly: "There is the Third Division, the Sixth Division, the Third Division, and the Thirteenth Division. They chased me from Shanghai to Nanjing, and this revenge must be avenged."

"Brother Yan Mou, after annihilated the 39th Division, I stared at Wuhan, but recently it seems that relying solely on our strength, we can only annihilate Kanda, and at most Fengshima. So, since last night, I gave up Wuhan and gave it to Chen Cheng this time. I have enough things in my mouth, so it's nothing to leave some residue for him."

Zhuang Jihua took a big bite of steamed bun, his cheeks were bulging, like a frog. Xu Zuyi looked at him and laughed loudly, and Gong Xiuhua couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere became a little relaxed, and the three of them talked and laughed, as if they forgot that a war was going on.

"Commander," He Wei ran over in three steps, waved a telegram in his hand, and reported to Zhuang Jihua panting: "Commander, good news, good news, Guo Xunqi called to conquer the command of the 17th Division and kill Pinglin Shengren."

After calming down a little, Xu Zuyi threw the steamed buns on the plate and stood up in surprise to receive the telegram. However, Zhuang Jihua was still eating the steamed buns slowly.

"It's time to go, it's time to go." Xu Zuyi quickly read the telegram and couldn't help but scream in surprise.

The 17th Division was shot dead by the people of Hirariya and the four armies could free up their hands to pursue Kanda, but Kanda could not escape.

"The 102nd Army and the 36th Division immediately gathered their troops and launched an attack on Changshou; the 41st Army immediately moved southeastward and rushed to Huashan..."

"No, the Sixty Army has cut off the retreat route of Kanda, and the 102nd Army does not need to go there. Order the 86th Army to stay and clean up the mess. The 94th Army immediately gathered its troops and marched towards Niumuling; the 41st Army attacked Tuanmusi, the 45th Army fully assisted the 125th Division, the 78th Army took over the position of the 45th Army, and the 102nd Army attacked Guanjiapo, forming a pincer attack with the 101st Army." Zhuang Jihua swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth in three mouths, but stood up but did not move.

Seeing this, Xu Zuyi drank the porridge in the bowl. He Wei reached out and grabbed a steamed bun, made a gesture to Zhuang Jihua, indicating that it was enough.

Several people walked quickly towards the war room, discussing while walking. When they arrived at the war room, a complete plan had been formed. New orders were quickly transmitted to various departments.

On the battlefield of Guanzhuang Lake, the 86th Army took over the entire battlefield and searched and suppressed the remaining enemies everywhere. Mou Tingfang, Guo Xunqi, and Dong Songyan (Deputy Commander of the Forty-first Army) spent half a day rectifying the troops, and then pursued Kanda according to the order.

The entire 17th Division was destroyed. After receiving the telegram, Kanda didn't even have time to feel sad. He immediately thought that his situation would deteriorate quickly and that the Chinese team that surrounded and annihilated Pinglin would come quickly. His weak troops were already difficult to resist.

"Takehara, it depends on you now. Whether you can stand out and open the passage for the entire army depends entirely on you." Kanda said to Saburo Takehara in a heavy tone.

Saburo Takehara was so dirty that he held the command knife tightly and replied proudly: "I will do my best to live up to the high expectations of the division commander."

Although the defense line of the 125th Division was broken through, several middle-aged officials and a group of soldiers seized the two small hills in front. The two small hills were like two doors, closing the road to break through Kanda.

This group of Chinese soldiers is extremely tenacious. Takehara Saburo commanded his troops to attack twice last night, and both times were shot down. Kanda had a strange feeling that the survival of the entire army was today. If he couldn't break out today, he would never have a chance to rush out again.

Without artillery fire protection, hundreds of Japanese soldiers divided into seven or eight scattered lines and walked slowly towards the hills. The officer in front was wrapped in a bandage in his left hand and held a command knife with his right hand, and the tip of the knife reflected the sunlight.

Silence, this is a group of silent attackers, without shouting, without calling, only firm steps.

On the hill, in the trenches that were temporarily dug, Liu Wanfu silently pulled the machine gun bolt and aimed at the enemy getting closer and closer. Last night, when the defense line was broken through, he ran to stop the defeated army in desperation, and finally stopped more than 100 soldiers. He led them to retreat here and built a blocking position based on the two hills.

Now he didn't know that he had been removed from the position of division commander. The division headquarters retreated under the leadership of the chief of staff. He didn't know where they had gone. Now he could only try his best to block this and win time for friendly forces.

From last night to now, nearly a hundred broken soldiers have been found one after another, including Huang Yuecheng, the commander of the 762nd Regiment, who was responsible for the last line of defense. Huang Yuecheng was already injured, and was shot in his thigh and shoulder, and he was limping. Without asking about his injuries, Liu Wanfu asked him to take dozens of soldiers to the opposite hill.

Now, there are only more than fifty people left on the position, but fortunately, there is enough ammunition. Before dawn, several broken artillery soldiers brought a 60 mortar.

"Fire the cannon, knock down the aura of the dog, and shoot out the shells." Liu Wanfu ordered coldly, with a blood mark on his face, left by a bullet.

The scattered soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the Japanese army became more and more powerful. Liu Wanfu could not allow the Japanese to rise in such an endless way.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Several shells exploded in the enemy group. After the smoke of gunpowders dissipated, several gaps appeared in the scattered line, but the Japanese did not stop at all and they still walked towards this side unswervingly.

"**, I don't believe it anymore, I won't beat you to death!" The artillery gritted his teeth and stuffed a shell into the mortar.

A smoke of gunpowder rose from afar, and another gap appeared in the scattered soldiers, but the remaining Japanese still walked towards this side.

"Teacher Commander, the Japanese are not good at coming this time." The guard was shirtless and also holding a Czech machine gun in his arms.

"This is a good thing," Liu Wanfu stared at the Japanese: "This means that the Japanese are already anxious. Tell your brothers that the army commander has sent us reinforcements and will arrive in at most half an hour. If you fight back this group of Japanese, Kanda will not be able to escape."

"clear!"

A guard next to him got up and ran along the trench, shouting as he ran: "The reinforcements are still half an hour away! The reinforcements are still half an hour away! Brothers, defeat the Japanese! Capture Kanda alive!"

The soldiers on the position suddenly became more and more excited, and the calls for capturing Kanda alive came one after another, and their momentum suddenly became stronger.

"Open fire!"

With this order, gunfire sounds on the position.

A life-and-death battle broke out in the hills.
