With the forces of the northwest, several large-scale battles were organized successively. Including the 29th Army and the 41st Army, the number of troops directly killed more than 100,000, plus the minor and serious wounded soldiers, it had reached nearly 300,000. Almost half of the Central Plains Field Army at this time. This did not include the casualties in Shanxi. After retreating from Pingjin, the Northwest Army focused on defense. This time it was not good for Anyang.

In contrast, although the south was fighting against the Japanese army, in fact, in addition to a relatively large battle in Songhu, it was not an exaggeration to say that the Nanjing Defense War was a defeat. After all, the main body of Nanjing at that time had no confidence in competing with the Japanese army in Nanjing. At this time, the Central Army controlled a large number of troops. The top Japanese army also intended to destroy the Central Army of the Republic of China, which had relatively weak combat power, first opened up the main transportation routes of the Jinpu Road, surrounded and annihilated the main force of the Central Army, and then went back to clean up the Northwest Army in Henan.

The 26th Brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army attacked north from Chuxian along the Jinpu Road. The Central Army retreated to the west bank of the Chihe River with movement defense one after another. The commander of the 26th Brigade Tokushi Naoda led four infantry brigades, and two mountain cannons crossing the Chihe River from Akiko. The commander of the 13th Division, Ogisu, led the main force to eat some in the middle. In addition, the commander of the 65th Regiment, led three infantry brigades, and set out from Quanjiao. Crossed the Chihe River near Okiha Town, passed through Dingyuan, Xisanshilidian, and Nianjiagang, and detoured to the vacant area above the northern end of Gaotang Lake to cover and prepare for support. The two routes of the Naoda Tokushi Naoda and the division commander were commanded.

When the Japanese army forced to cross the Chihe River, Li Zongren urgently dispatched Liu Shiyi's 31st Army to go south from Dangshan to reinforce the war. After the Japanese 26th Brigade captured Linhuai Pass, while the main force attacked Bengbu, he sent a brigade to cross the Huai River from the south protrusion under the cover of aircraft and artillery fire.

The river water burst out with waves of all sizes under the artillery fire, slamming the river bank. The weeds on both sides of the river were even more in a mess. First, we arrived at the 138th Division of Mo Dehong, under the absolute disadvantage of firepower, and with his bloody courage, he fought with the Japanese aircraft and cannons.

Several Japanese troops 88 light bombardment patrolled the heads. When they caught the right opportunity, they lowered the height and dropped a few deadly bombs.

A mortar of the defenders and more than a dozen shells also exploded during the explosion of the aircraft. The soldiers at the center of the explosion directly turned into some minced meat, and the soldiers of the National Army around them also screamed.

"This damn plane!" The officer below gritted his teeth and cursed, but there was no way to deal with the behavior of the Japanese planes. Although the central government had retreated to Wuhan and purchased a lot of planes from the Soviet Union, there were too many areas of fighting with the Japanese army at this time. Even the Northwest Air Force could not take into account the war zone, let alone the weaker Central Air Force.

"Don't worry about these big birds, the Japanese are coming up, the plane is ready to gather! The Japanese tanks are coming up, damn, these iron turtles are beaten by the Northwest Army in the north and can't raise their heads, but they can show off their power in the south!"

The officer's judgment was correct. Not long after the Japanese plane flew over, the Japanese tanks drove all the way over with the Huaihe Bridge.

Tanks and guns hit the sandbags, stirring up sand all over the sky. Then the Japanese plane that had already attacked the bridge fired a series of strafings. With the assistance of the grenade launcher, they quickly cleared the frontier defenders' positions. The living environment at the scene was extremely harsh. It was difficult for the defenders on the frontier positions to find one that could breathe.

Sakazai! The Japanese troops in the brigade rushed up with a roar.

Da da

The Japanese army was very familiar with the sound of Czech aircraft, but there was a tank blocking in front, hitting the tank's armor scattered around the ground. In history, the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army were brittle and had little blood in tank battles and could not withstand the shelling of enemy tanks. However, they were extremely sharp when dealing with soldiers of the National Army who lacked anti-tank firepower.

In essence, this light tank did not encounter the firepower that threatened them, and it was even better than the heavy tank. The light tank was small in size, light enough, fast in running, and consumed less fuel. At the same time, when fighting in the south, the requirements for roads and bridges were also lower. If it were a battle axe tank, it would be less effective than the Avengers in the south.

The bodies of the defenders on the position were everywhere, and the Japanese tanks and guns exploded a hole in the line built up by sandbags.

The defenders on the positions behind Tutu desperately used aircraft to interfere with the Japanese infantry. The firepower of the Japanese counterattack was even more fierce. However, in these most powerful battlefields, even the Japanese soldiers were extremely cautious. After a few of the exposed people were killed, a large number of others were huddled behind the tanks.

It was also at this time that among the corpses on the broken position, two soldiers who were dragging their injured bodies suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards the other side's tank with the clusters beside them.

"Baga, hurry up, hurry up, kill these two Chinese troops!" The Japanese army, whose eyes were a little more beautiful, had seen the actions of the two soldiers and immediately screamed in surprise.

Dada waved the sieve of the sub-machine and knocked the soldiers on one side into sieve.

"Damn, grandpa fights with you!" The soldiers on the other side were also bombed and their strength was quickly lost. However, before losing consciousness, the soldiers tried all their strength to detonate the cluster.

Boom! The huge explosion ripped the soldier's body.

"God Amaterasu is here!" The Japanese drivers in the tank were praying with their eyes closed. After all, with the defense of their tanks, if they were subjected to enough explosion, they might be destroyed. At this time, all they could do was pray. But what they didn't know was that fortunately this was the southern battlefield. If it was in the north, especially in that fierce tank battle, even praying would not work.

In fact, the Japanese army was lucky. This explosion did not directly destroy the Japanese tanks, but only destroyed the tank's tracks. This guy weighing six or seven tons was naturally difficult to repair at this time, so he could only stop in place to act as a fixed firepower output.

If the defenders had enough combat artillery in their hands, they could destroy it smoothly. Unfortunately, the Central Army, even the number of combat artillery was insufficient. At this time, several Japanese tanks emerged from behind the tank. On the Huaihe Bridge, there were corpses of the defenders. The Japanese army had pitifully few.
