** team's counterattack on the southern line was as fast as thunder. Liao Lei was connected to the alley south of the Huaihe River, and Xiao Huang's family attacked the Xiquan of Fengyang. The commander of the Fifth Brigade of Huaiyuan's 3rd Division, Kazuyama, drew the 68th Regiment from Huaiyuan's front line and returned to the south bank of the Huaihe River, and fought fiercely with Liao Lei near the Liu Mansion in Fengyang.

As the southward transfer of the 68th Brigade made the Panshan Brigade unable to develop westward, the 11th Army forced the crossing; the river counterattacked Huaiyuan from the northwest, and the 11th Army crossed the Ci River detoured Tang Jiaji, searched Ying to annihilate two Japanese squadrons, and then conquered Ying and threatened Fengyang from the southwest.

Liao Lei fought fiercely with the 68th Regiment in the Liu Mansion for one day, and then used the darkness to retreat south along the Huainan Railway. The 68th Regiment took advantage of the victory and was ambushed by Liao Lei in advance in Fengyugou. The 124th Division is an elite of the 23rd Army. It is well equipped and has a combat effectiveness that can catch up with an army of the 21st Army. The 68th Regiment suddenly encountered a sudden encounter. The corps leader Ying Senxiao commanded the troops to fight fiercely with the 124th Division. Liao Lei led his troops to come from the front and at the same time divided the Seventh Army to detour the Japanese rear route. Ying Senxiao found that the situation was not good, and immediately launched a breakthrough and fled from the entrance of the ditch. Liao Lei then rushed to chase and blocked the enemy. Ying Senxiao suffered heavy losses and fled back to Liu Mansion. Liao Lei immediately chased him, Ying Senxiao immediately gave up Liu Mansion and retreated to Fengyang.

After Liao Lei conquered the Liu Mansion, he did not continue to pursue, but turned to the southeast. The Seventh Army crossed Damu Mountain. The 124th Division penetrated into Dingyuan County from the foothills of Wudao Mountain. The 48th Army stayed on the spot to monitor the Japanese army in Huaiyuan, and at the same time provided support for the northern line for the army.

Lu Han's progress was faster. During the four days of rest, the situation of the Japanese army on the southern front continued to gather in his office. When he got these situations, he felt like he was killing chickens and using a slaughter. There were one and a half brigades of the 106th Division, with more than 16,000 troops in the entire army, which seemed to be quite large, but his mission was to maintain the security behind the entire battlefield. The entire army was distributed in a vast area from Quanzhou to Dingyuan, Fengyang, and the important barrier in the west was Dingyuan, and there was only one reinforcement brigade in Fengyang. There was only one strengthening brigade on Fengyang, and there was only Badouling in front of him. Zhangji and other places. The largest scale of the garrison was only at the squadron level.

Faced with such a weak enemy, Lu Han wished he could launch an attack immediately, but the theater command insisted on not allowing him to act. It was not until the Japanese army attacked and the tight spell on his head was released.

According to the order of the War Zone Chief Officer, Lu Han divided the troops into two routes, and the main forces Lu Junquan and Lu Diping counterattacked along the Dinghe Highway, while the Long Yucang Division counterattacked the full force.

The 92nd Army of Li Xianzhou was also involved in the counterattack. Their mission was to counterattack Dingyuan from the west from the Gaotang Shop of Daiji.

At the beginning of the counterattack, the offensive of the Chinese team was extremely rapid. Lu Han conquered Badouling, ancient city, and Jiepai in one day, and quickly approached Dingyuan from the southwest. Liao Lei acted quickly after eliminating the threat from the north. The Seventh Army conquered Nengren, the 124th Division conquered the back mountain, and then secretly advanced westward along the General Mountain and Tuanshan. Suddenly, he appeared in Zhailang, completely annihilated a squadron of the Japanese troops stationed at Zhailang, and then moved towards Quanwu Mountain.

Junroro Matsuura, the commander of the 106th Division in Dingyuan, saw clearly that there were actually four attackers who launched an attack on him. He quickly gathered his troops and prepared to stick to Dingyuan. However, even so, there were only 5,000 troops in Dingyuan City. Matsuura asked for help from the commander-in-chief of the South Line.

Haneda received an emergency from Matsuura. After a brief thought, she understood the purpose of the Zhong** team. This was to force him to transfer troops from the front line to help. But although he understood the intention of the Zhong** team, he could only transfer troops from the Jiehe front line to help. Otherwise, once Dingyuan is lost, the transport artery and the Jinpu Railway will be cut off. The three front line divisions will be trapped in a situation where the ammunition and food are exhausted. It is impossible for Nanjing to draw another division. This time, four and a half divisions were transferred to the Jinpu Road. Commander Nishio had already made his best efforts. Haneda immediately ordered the transfer of Black Rock to return immediately and reinforce Akatsuki. The telegram ordered Matsuura to immediately give up Dingyuan, retreat to Chihe and block the Jinpu Railway.

After receiving the order, Matsuura immediately gave up Dingyuan and ran towards Chihe. Li Xianzhou and Lu Han led their troops to pursue each other. Liao Lei came from the slant and intercepted the defender of Matsuura in the mulberry cave.

"Don't let the fuck." Liao Lei stood on the battlefield of the Sangdong. He watched the soldiers happily clean the battlefield. In this battle, he annihilated nearly a thousand people in Songpu. They were all very happy. But their commander was very unhappy. He almost cursed loudly in the scorching sun. He ran from Huaiyuan and ran thousands of miles to encircle and annihilate Dingyuan Songpu. But he didn't expect that Songpu would run so fast. Seeing that the defender was surrounded, he did not turn around to rescue him. He ran to Chihe without stopping.

Lu Han rushed to the mulberry cave half a day later. He heard that Matsuura ran away, so angry that they stamped their feet. They didn't expect that the Japanese army would retreat without fighting. This was unexpected before the Battle of Nanjing.

In a depressed mood, Lu Junquan lost his temper at the reception of Liao Lei entertaining him. He accused the war zone chief of the army of being too blind to make plans, so far away, and so wide that they encircled and annihilated Matsuura. The troops were exhausted but they could not get anything.

"Li Delin is okay to fight a civil war. He wants to fight a small Japan. He also needs Commander Zhuang." Lu Junquan's last sentence offended the officers of the 21st Group of Army and Local Officers.

Liao Lei still has time to speak, Wei Yunsong

He slapped the table and stood up and pointed at Lu Junquan's nose and said, "You are crazy for hundreds of miles, don't we run for hundreds of miles. Who can't fight against Japan? Isn't I kill the blood on the battlefield in Shanghai? Where were you at that time?"

Zhang Chong hurriedly advised: "Captain Wei, Commander Lu is drunk too much and he feels unhappy, don't mind."

"You can't talk casually if you are unhappy," Wei Yunsong said coldly.

Lu Junquan continued drunk, "Damn, I have seen too many domestic generals. I can surpass Commander Zhuang. In such a complex and difficult situation in Nanjing, I actually cut off a piece of Japanese devils. Today's good situation is so good that I can't make anything."

Wei Yunsong's face turned pale when he was so angry that he sneered coldly: "Your Fifty-Eighth Army is amazing. Didn't Guangde still let Mo Song and Niu Dao run away? He still has the face to speak out loudly.

”

Now Lu Han and Lu Diping stopped him. Lu Han's face sank and was about to speak. Zhang Chong hurriedly stopped him. The guard immediately helped Lu Junquan away, and then raised his glass and said to Liao Lei: "Teacher Lu has drunk too much, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

After saying that, he raised his glass to drink it, but the generals of the Gui army did not move, all looked at Liao Lei, but Liao Lei lowered his head and did not move. Lu Han understood after thinking for a moment, so he also raised his glass: "Everyone, we are all soldiers. We can drink today and drink tomorrow. Whether this counterattack on the southern front can achieve the expected results depends entirely on our joint efforts. Commander Liao, my acting subordinates apologize to Commander Li."

Lu Han's words were very polite, but there was a bone hidden in his words. The 21st Army and the 58th Army were the two main forces in the counterattack on the southern front. Whether the Japanese army can be transferred back from the front depends on their combat.

"Well, soldiers, just say something, it's no big deal. Even if Commander Li hears it, it's nothing." Liao Lei smiled and said, "Don't mention the apology. Commander Wei, you've been too much just now, hurry up and apologize to Commander Lu."

After saying that, he glared at Wei Yunsong. Of course, Lu Han would not let Wei Yunsong apologize and quickly stopped Wei Yun. A small storm turned into invisible under the auspices of the two commanders.

After drinking a few glasses, Liao Lei put the wine glass and said to Lu Han: "Brother Yongheng, follow the orders of the War Zone Command, the next step is to take action, and you and I will fight separately. We will face the direction of Mingguang, and you will face the pool water and strive to take the pool water."

Lu Han looked up at Liao Lei waiting for his next sentence. Sure enough, Liao Lei said: "However, I think that if our two armies separate, they will become smaller. It is better for us to report to the war zone, join forces to attack Chishui together. The only old boy Matsuura is the only one who can eat them. Our two armies and one division can completely eat them."

After thinking about it, Lu Han felt that it was feasible. Annihilation of Matsuura could effectively annihilate the Japanese army's vital forces, and could also change the situation on the southern front. He immediately nodded: "I think it's OK, brother, come and draft it, I'll sign it."

But unexpectedly, Liao Lei's report was rejected by the War Zone Command. Li Zongren warned them in a telegram to them: "Your mission is to threaten the Japanese flanks, not the decisive battle between the Japanese army. Once you want to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Chishui, the Japanese army in Nanjing will definitely go north and the Japanese army in Jiehe will also go south. At that time, you paid a significant price but could not complete the battle goals. Instead, because of the consumption of power, you can no longer threaten the Japanese flanks."

Liao Lei received the telegram and he was a little dissatisfied, and Lu Han didn't understand it either. Zhuang Jihua repeatedly emphasized that annihilation of living forces. Isn't the Japanese army in encircling and annihilation of Chishui the Japanese army to realize this tactical principle? He sent a telegram to Zhuang Jihua and once again proposed to join forces with the 21st Army to encircle Matsuura of Chishui.

However, Zhuang Jihua also quickly replied and rejected his suggestion again: "The Japanese army's Jinpu Road battle is a north-south attack, mainly on the northern line. Only by breaking the northern line can the Japanese army be completely defeated. The purpose of the southern line is to restrain the Japanese forces from the southern line and create conditions for our army to annihilate the enemy on the northern line. Your counterattack must hold back the Japanese army at the minimum cost. Once you besiege Chishui, it may cause you to fight the Japanese army on the southern line. Xiwei will never sit idly by and watch Matsuura be annihilated. He will definitely send the main force. Even if this will cause emptiness in the south of the Yangtze River, some areas will be lost. The Jinpu railway transportation is convenient, and the Japanese reinforcements can arrive quickly. The losses will be great if you siege the city. After the strength is weakened, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the Japanese flanks. The Japanese army can let go and attack Jiehe."

Zhuang Jihua's long telegram explained in detail why he disagreed with their plan to siege Chishui and annihilate Songpu. After Lu Han read it, he was speechless. Liao Lei sighed in his heart. Zhuang Jihua's telegram suppressed Lu Han, but Li Zongren's telegram Lu Han dared to raise objections.

"Brother, I can't eat fat." Liao Lei said bitterly. He was still a little dissatisfied. He ate nearly a thousand Japanese troops in Sangdong at one time, and there were only four thousand Japanese troops in Chishui, and he could finish them in two days.

"The above does not agree. It seems that you and I can only do our own things." Lu Han said helplessly.
