When facing Song Xilian, Feng Zhi'an never dared to put on airs of a national general.Even if he knew in his heart that Song Xilian, a direct general of the central army, actually looked down on generals of the miscellaneous army like them.

But they belonged to the same war zone, so dealing with each other was unavoidable in normal times.What's more, at the time of the two parties' war of resistance, Feng Zhi'an also didn't want to make people think that he was too close to the Eighth Route Army, and proper superficial work still had to be done.

Seeing Feng Zhi'an's sad expression, Song Xilian, who had also lost half of his main force before, said sympathetically, "There is nothing we can do about it, who told us to fight against the elite troops of the little devils?

Speaking of which, this time brother Yang's army expansion, I'm afraid it will be loved by many patriots.As far as I know, the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army, whose division commander was killed by you, is still staying at Shihe's side to rest and wait for orders! "

'well!These are all the achievements of my subordinates in exchange for their lives, so don't mention it.This time I came to visit brother Yin Guo, and I also wanted to report the movements of the Japanese army.If there is no accident, the Japanese army may arrive at your defense zone tomorrow.

This time we were able to retreat safely. In addition to the blessings of the Chairman and Chief Li, we also owe a lot of favor to the New 67th Army.We would not have been able to retreat safely here if one of his scouting battalions had not been right in front. '

Upon hearing this, Song Xilian immediately asked curiously, "The New 67th Army? The Eighth Route Army? Aren't they resting in Shuangping? Why did a reconnaissance battalion suddenly run into your defense zone at this time?"

Brother Yinguo didn't hear that the little devils raided their temporary camp two days ago, and I heard that there were a lot of casualties.Commander He, the leader of the army, seems to be a man who can't rub the sand in his eyes, so he wants to send an army to retaliate!

I have to say, this team is really powerful.If it weren't for their help today, it is estimated that all the little devils should have chased here by this time.Letting them fight like that saved us a lot of trouble.

Judging from the current situation, the No. 16 Division of the Japanese Army chasing us will have to wait until at least tomorrow if they want to reach Brother Yin Guo's defense area.According to the feedback from my reconnaissance team earlier, the little devil seems to have made them tormented enough! '

'Are they really that strong? '

As the commander of the 71st Army, although Song Xilian had never met He Zhengdao, he had heard of some things about He Zhengdao.At least this young red warrior is considered a well-known figure among the generals of the Central Army!

But Song Xilian, who had never seen the 67th Army fighting, still felt that such a young He Zhengdao, no matter how smart he was, would never be able to go there.But being able to annihilate two Japanese army divisions is a bit real.

But he had never seen how the 67th Army fought against the little devils, so he was somewhat skeptical about the combat effectiveness of this army.After all, as the commander of the 71st Army, Song Xilian felt that his army was already very good.

Facing Song Xilian's question, Feng Zhi'an said with a serious expression: "Brother Yinguo should know that there are no worthless soldiers under his reputation. Although I have never seen other troops of the 67th Army, the small army they sent is indeed very good. sharp.

Yishui's little devil's equipment and weapons are probably better than the little devil's.The most important thing is that they are too slippery in fighting, and the little devils chasing us are almost driving them crazy.This also caused them to be unable to catch up with my troops at all.

If my reconnaissance troops, the information provided is not false.During the blocking process today, the No. 16 Division had at least a thousand little devils in the hands of the reconnaissance team of the 67th Army.

Even more surprisingly, their losses were minimal.Except for some wounded, the number of soldiers killed in battle was also pitiful.You and I have fought against little devils, and we know that little devils are difficult to deal with.But when you meet them, the little devil has nothing to do! "

It is clear that Feng Zhi'an is also a somewhat arrogant general, and it is somewhat credible to get such an evaluation from him.But Song Xilian still said: "It seems that there is an opportunity, and I want to see what is so magical about this army."

This time, I originally thought that Li Zongren would transfer the 67th Army to fight with him.However, according to Li Zongren's order, his arrangement for the 67th Army is to let it be stationed in Huangchuan, another strategic location in Xinyang.

Speaking of it, the 67th Army will also become the army that will succeed him in stopping the little devils.If it wasn't for Lao Jiang's strict order to make him perform well and let others see the combat effectiveness of his 71st Army, he really wanted to let go of this blocking position.

In this way, He Zhengdao's 67th Army will collide head-on with the main force of the Japanese attack.No matter who wins or loses, for Song Xilian, he thinks the government will be optimistic about the success!

It's just that Song Xilian also knows that the Fujinshan defense line is very important to the entire Xinyang battlefield.If he is quickly broken through by the Japanese army, it will become extremely difficult for the subsequent blocking battle.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zongren even sent the 71st Army to assist in the defense behind the 51st Army.In addition, the 77th Army, which was withdrawn from the front line, will also rest and stand by in the rear.

Once Fu Jinshan is in a tight spot, the two 51st and 77th armies that cooperate in the battle will send troops for reinforcements.In Li Zongren's words, they must be here to stop the little devil for at least ten days.

This meant that unless Song Xilian really dared to disobey the military order, he and his troops must stick to Fujin Mountain and fight the little devil.He also hopes to prove the combat effectiveness of his troops to the government.

After Feng Zhi'an's narration, Song Xilian also had some understanding of the upcoming No.16 division.He also felt that he was well prepared for the possibility of the Japanese army arriving at the blocking position tomorrow.

Next, he will surround Fujin Mountain and fight hard against the attacking little devil division.Even if it is possible to pay some price, Song Xilian hopes that he can boost the morale of the Central Army.

It has to be said that with the arrival of He Zhengdao, Song Xilian, who also has a strong personality, does not want to lose.Most importantly, even the 77th Army has won a big victory, and his 71st Army has not had much combat exploits so far.

Under such circumstances, Song Xilian still felt that he should have a good fight with the little devil. In the end, it's really not clear who will win.Fortunately, it occupied Fujin Mountain in advance and built a lot of solid defenses.

At such a high price, Song Xilian also felt that he could not afford to lose this person if he would collapse without a fight!

After Feng Zhi'an finished providing the news from the front line, he returned to his team.Seeing Feng Zhi'an going away, Song Xilian somewhat understood that this general from the Northwest Army probably had a lot of affection for the Eighth Route Army.

But considering that the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army, which are almost reorganized and annexed by the Central Army, probably have a certain favor for the Eighth Route Army.It's just that the Eighth Route Army is temporarily unable to annex these troops due to military pay.

But this does not mean that the Eighth Route Army cannot win over.At least from the information obtained by the Central Army, Feng Zhian's 77th Army should have many latent personnel dispatched by the Eighth Route Army.

Once these people take power in the 77th Army, they will naturally pull the 77th Army to the side of the Eighth Route Army.Regarding this situation, Song Xilian was somewhat worried.After all, he wasn't so arrogant that he could stop the little devil with his own army.

It is precisely because of this concern that he is also worried about angering other Song Xilian who still have not forgotten their origins in the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army.At least on the surface, they are still very polite to these people.How could he not understand the principle of hiding a knife in a smile! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When the No.16 Division captured the blocking position set up by the 77th Army in one fell swoop, and the main force of the division began to advance towards Gushi.He Zhengdao, who still used day and night, also arrived in Huaibin bordering Anhui.

According to the news sent back by the front-line reconnaissance unit, the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army from the direction of Fuyang has already captured Funan City guarded by the Central Army.After a short rest, the entire Tenth Division marched towards Huaibin in Henan.

Even in the fight in Xuzhou, the Tenth Division suffered a big setback.But a new division commander was replaced, and the Japanese Army Headquarters also added a lot of new recruits to it, and even had three tank and armored squadrons.

Although there are only more than 30 tanks equipped, there are also some wheeled armored vehicles.With the artillery units equipped by the [-]th Division, plus the air force support that appeared from time to time, it seemed very easy for them to advance into Henan this time.

The Tenth Division, temporarily under the command of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, received a telegram from the commander of the Second Army Higashikunimiya Toshihiko, handing over the task of taking over the occupied area to other reserve forces, and the main force of the division also rushed to the Xinyang area.

Perhaps Higashikurimiya Minoruhiko also realized that with only one and a half divisions in his hands, it is still somewhat difficult to successfully break through the Xinyang area held by the fifth theater.But with one more Tenth Division, it might be possible.

According to the combat plan drawn up by Dongkurimiya Minoruhiko, the Tenth Division will serve as another main offensive force, striving to capture the Huangchuan area of ​​Xinyang in the shortest possible time and block the retreat of the central army that has set up a heavy force in Guyang. .

If this combat goal can be achieved, then they will be able to attack back and forth, and severely injure the defenders in the fifth theater, most of whom are concentrated in Guyang.In this way, the next battle for them to advance into Wuhan may become much easier.

This idea is naturally good, and even the attack of the Tenth Division went very smoothly.The blocking troops deployed in front of the Tenth Division in the fifth theater, even though they fought tenaciously, still had difficulty resisting the sharp attack of the Tenth Division.

Knowing that the Tenth Division has advanced into the territory of Henan, Higashikuni Gongminhiko said with satisfaction: "Hey, the arrival of the Tenth Division will make our enemies start thinking about how to divide their troops for rescue, right?"

The intelligence officer in charge of intelligence collection also said in a timely manner: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! According to the information we have obtained, Li Zongren has sent the 67th Army to establish a blockade outside Huangchuan City after learning that the Tenth Division has advanced into Xinyang. position.

According to the information we know, the troops sent by the Eighth Route Army are still very powerful.As far as we know so far, the No.60 Seventh Army has now stationed nearly [-] troops in Huangchuan.

They are currently building fortifications, presumably to protect the rear of their troops deployed in the Gushi area.But according to what we have collected, the 67th Army's troops deployed in Huangchuan may number at least nearly 4.

It's just that this army often marches at night.We still don't know how many troops they have deployed in Huangchuan.But in this case, I think the Tenth Division should be informed and asked to strengthen its vigilance. "

'Yo breath!As long as we know their whereabouts, our Imperial Japanese Army is not afraid to fight with them.The most troublesome thing about these Eighth Route Army is that they often run away if they can't win.

This time, they were ordered to join Li Zongren's troops and even chose to fight us.We also need to avenge No.12 Division and No.20 Sixth Division.If we can wipe out their troops, we will definitely be rewarded by the military department.

There is even an advantage to annihilating them, and that is to provoke the relationship between the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army.As long as they can be divided internally, it will still be of great benefit to our Great East Asian Jihad.Inform the Tenth Division of this matter together! '

'Hi! '

When Dongjiuergong Renyan was thinking about He Zhengdao's idea, He Zhengdao, who led the two main divisions and the reconnaissance brigade to Huaibin, was also thinking about the Tenth Division.

For the Tenth Division to send their tank units to act as pioneers, the three infantry regiments to which the division belonged, instead marched slowly behind.He Zhengdao also felt that this little devil division is really extremely arrogant!

Looking at Luo Ruiqing who came with him, He Zhengdao smiled and said: "It seems that the victory on this road has already made the little devils feel that no one dares to stand in their way. It can be seen from their march that they don't know us for the time being. 's arrival

Next, I believe that the Tenth Division will soon launch an attack on the Huaibin garrison.Then we can also make a good plan around Huaibin City.Strive to wipe out this Japanese army division in Huaibin territory. "

Hearing He Zhengdao's words, Luo Ruiqing said worriedly: "Commander, our idea is not bad. But as far as the current situation is concerned, even if there is an infantry brigade for the Central Army stationed in Huaibin, they may not be able to hold on to it." how long.
