Zhou Conghua was very confused.

Liu Xiang often asked Tang Shizun's opinions. It was the first time he had to be careful when he made such a major decision.

"Team Commander Rao, Commander Liu, fighting the Japanese is no problem, but after this battle, we only have 10,000 Anhui recruits collected by Guangde to replenish. It will take at least half a year to restore combat power. In fact, the source of troops is a small matter. The key is the ordnance in Yongzhou. I don't know when it will be the turn to replenish us!"

After listening to what Zhou Conghua said, Liu Zhaoli became dull.

Rao Guohua did not sit down, but raised his tone and continued.

"These are all trivial matters. The confrontation between China and Japan is to resist aggression and a war of national survival. The capital is in danger. It is definitely not a time to care about personal honor and disgrace and military gains and losses. The 10th Army was harassed by us for several nights. The ammunition was consumed very much, the soldiers lacked rest, and the morale of the combat troops was low. It was a pity to let the tiger return to the mountain at this time! Besides, Guo Xunqi had collected another 10,000 Songhu battlefield and retreated. He ran the defeated soldiers in a mess. As long as the flag of the war of resistance was raised, there were not many soldiers."

"In my opinion, we should not make decisions in this battle. If the Grandmaster asks to fight, we will fight. We hope to fight, but it depends on the Grandmaster's meaning!"

Zhou Conghua suddenly remembered what Zhao Peishi said to Tang Shizun when he arrested Zhan Yi.

The general's purpose in the War of Resistance was very pure, and he wanted to drive the Japanese out of China. At this time, he needed the most general like Rao Guohua, who was dedicated to fighting Japanese and did not care about personal gains and losses.

Liu Zhaoli's words are really a big deal.

The 21st Army should be the sword in the hand of the commander. Wherever the commander pointed, he would hit him.

I received a telegram from Pan Wenhua forwarded by two commanders Guo.

Zhou Xiaoshan immediately understood that his attempt to preserve his strength and let the 23rd Army take root in Jiangsu, Anhui and Wuhu areas have a miscarriage.

Why are these bastards so uneasy?

Fighting to the death with the 10th Japanese Army is not a consequence that the Sichuan Army can bear.

The Tenth Army is really not that easy to fight, even if the Japanese retreated to Wuxing.

If several armies join together, they may not be able to completely wipe out the 10th Army. Besides, when he deployed, he did not consider annihilation of the 10th Army. It is also a matter of whether half of the 100,000 troops in the 23rd Army can still be left.

The main force is gone, and the people from the Military Commission will no longer look awe at you.

Without a sand table, Zhou Xiaoshan had a headache when he looked at the map hand-painted by Tan Wangsong.

The 10th Army headed south and retreated south along the west bank of Taihu Lake. Most of the troops of the 23rd Army were mainly equipped with guns, and some artillery could also organize new recruits to walk. A large number of new recruits could serve as guides. It would be no problem to take a detour from Guangde and Changxing to attack Wuxing.

The question now is, whether the 47th Army of the 50th Army was in Yixing, was heading south by boat.

He still let Guo Rudong and Guo Xunqi detour along the north shore of Taihu Lake, attack Wuxi, and meet with Chu Tianshu's 122nd Brigade in Suzhou.

According to the truth, the 50th Army attacked Wuxi and cut off the connection between the Shanghai Expeditionary Army and the 10th Army, which is more beneficial to the battle situation.

But Zhou Xiaoshan was worried that there would be no participation from the 50th Army and the 122nd Brigade.

With the four brigades of the 66th Army, the 21st Army and the 23rd Army cannot defeat the remnants of the 10th Army of the Japanese. Wanba Novel Network

You should know that now the Japanese have at least one complete Ueda Detachment, a complete 114th Division, and the Sixth Division has at least more than 10,000 people left, and the 16th Division of the Japanese Army has at least 20,000 people left.

It should be about 60,000 Japanese devils.

It is still a large group of heavy troops.

It’s a pity that Matsui Ishione can issue this order in a timely manner.

If they have to spend a few nights, they may not have enough Japanese shells during the decisive battle.

Zhou Xiaoshan complained aside.

Isn't it that Nakajima Aogo is complaining?

When he buried landmines, he never thought that he would go back from Wuxing.

The mines buried by the Engineer Regiment are so dense.

In order to show off his level, the engineers of Dog Day also buried the mines so hidden that they could not be seen on the road.

There are no marks, and no drawings for mines buried.

Let mine clear now.

The danger is similar to the enemy mines, and you can only rely on mine detectors.

The engineer corps of the 16th Division were confused.

The same mood as the dog.

Yanagawa Heisuke was also complaining.

If I had known today, why would I have built five kilometers of principles to confuse the Chinese army? In order to confuse the Chinese army, the 114th Division built five kilometers toward Guangde and eight kilometers to Yixing.

It's so idiot's in vain.

In order to attack Nanjing, he surrounded Nanjing, and abandoned his strength and detours, so many warriors were loyal to the empire.

If I had known today, why would I have to shrink my troops and return on the same route?

It was a waste of time to get beaten by the Sichuan Army.

In addition to the order to change the direction of the attack, the Central China Front Army also ordered the Ueda Detachment to be incorporated into the 6th Japanese Division.

Yoshiro Ueda, instead of the dead Tokutaro I, accepted the number of the 11th Brigade and commanded the brigade to stay in Changxing's baggage, engineers and artillery units.

Let’s pack up the guns and ammunition supplies together, and wait for the 16th Division’s engineer corps to remove the mine array.

The 10th Army had received orders for one morning.

The Nakajima Division has not yet discharged landmines.

Nakajima Atsugo was particularly confused.

Originally, the mines had been discharged, but the Engineers' Corps stepped on the mines after walking a few steps in the way.

Those who step on landmines are professional engineers holding hands-on mine detectors.

When they thought the mine detector was broken.

New people and new machines were replaced, and the mines exploded again.

The commander of the Engineering Corps told the division commander with great grievance that it was not the landmine they buried.

It must have been buried by the Chinese army. This landmine is too immoral and has all kinds of patterns, including ceramics and glass.

Landmines do not use iron, and using magnets as the working principle of mine detectors is just decoration.

The engineer could only lie on the ground with the feeling of stabbing the knife into the soil, using the knife to test it out by hand.

Yanagawa Heisuke received a telegram from Ashigo Nakajima and felt dizzy. My God, when will this mine be cleared?

He quickly ordered the engineer corps of the Sixth Division and the engineer corps of the Sixth Division to go to the southern highway to help clear mines.

At this time, Nakajima Division again heard news that the mines of the Sichuan Army were too disgusting. Not only were they made of ceramics and glass, and the mine detectors could not be detected, but there were even serial thunders and super sensitive thunders.

The engineer saw that the mine detection was successful and dug it out, but the mines above were removed and the mines below triggered the mines below.

Two people in a group.

Two officers and second lieutenants were lost in a row.

The Nakajima Division even predicted that several engineer corps could only open the road to Wuxing until dark.

The 10th Army headed south firmly and detoured by Taihu Lake to Nanjing.

The Sichuan Army also decided to help Liu Xiang make up its mind to Feng Tiankui.

Feng Tiankui and Zhou Xiaoshan have been comparing the pros and cons. After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Xiaoshan sent a possible combat plan if the Japanese army retreated to Wuxing.

Tonight, the Twenty-Three Army Group, all of which were found, fought a decisive battle with the remnants of the 10th Army of the Japanese Army in Wuxing.

The 23rd Army Group, now the total number of new and veteran soldiers of the six armies is more than 100,000, while the Japanese army has only more than 60,000.

Zhou Xiaoshan was prepared for Liu Xiang's decision. From the perspective of the War of Resistance Against Japan, this war will be beneficial to the country and the nation.

From the perspective of the Seventh War Zone, although the Twenty-Three Army may have made unprecedented sacrifices.

However, if the main forces of the 10th Army of the Japanese, it would take a lot of time for the Japanese to recruit soldiers and replenish troops.

The Japanese army needs time to replenish, while the Chinese army needs more time to replenish than the Japanese army.
