    When Yan Junliu¡¯s telegram was sent to Zhuxiang Town, Zhuxiang Town was suffering an unprecedented rout.

    After the armored division ran around the camps of the Sixth Division and the Fifteenth Division like a stick, completely disrupting their camps, the infantry division of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army appeared.

    The two infantry divisions, the 135th Division and the 136th Division, which were only half-strength, with about 18,000 troops, began to hit the camp of the Sixth Division with firepower.

    As for the 15th Division, they naturally had people from the 134th Division who arrived first to take care of them.

    The 134th Division had returned to Huainan yesterday. After resting for a long time and a night, they rushed to Zhuxiang Town by car this morning. Their purpose was to defeat the Sixth Division here.

    More than 40,000 troops, hit by firepower, and with the cooperation of the air force, launched a surprise attack on the disrupted little devils.

    With this series of blows, even the elite little Japs like the Sixth Division were stunned.

    Fortunately, Gu Shoufu, an old Japanese soldier, responded quickly and immediately ordered the troops to discard all unnecessary baggage and start retreating.

    Along the way, whenever troops of the Eighty-eighth Army attacked them, the Japs would leave some wounded or non-combatants behind to act as blocking personnel.

    The Sixth Division and the Fifteenth Division of the Little Devils used this method of cutting off the tail of a gecko to survive. They began to be defeated in the morning. It was not until the afternoon that the Eighty-eighth Army stopped their pursuit.

    Du Guowei was very unwilling to not eat the little devil this time, if it weren't for the fact that the Lianghuai region was covered with water systems and numerous lakes.  Encountering the vast expanse of plains in the north, Du Guowei promised that none of these little devils would even think of running away.

    However, since the group army headquarters issued the order to stop the pursuit, they did not pursue it again.  Start to withdraw your troops and clean up the battlefield.

    The Sixth Division and the Fifteenth Division retreated all the way to Wushan Town, which was very close to Hefei. Only after the Eighty-Eighth Group Army stopped pursuing them did they have time to recruit more troops.

    After nightfall, Gu Shoufu's Sixth Division finally took some casualties, and looking at the casualty data, Gu Shoufu almost didn't cry.

    The Sixth Division is one of the seventeen standing divisions of the Little Devils, and it is also one of the most powerful divisions among the standing divisions.

    The entire division is equipped with heavy artillery regiments, tank regiments, anti-aircraft artillery regiments and other units.  Including other regiments, the division has more than 28,000 people.

    But now they only have more than 14,000 people left. In today's day's retreat, they lost half of their troops.

    In particular, the tank regiment was wiped out, the heavy artillery regiment was left on the battlefield, and the anti-aircraft artillery regiment was blown up by the Stuka bombers of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army.  Even the field artillery regiment had to be abandoned because of the emergency situation and the forward troops could not withstand it.

    The situation of the Fifteenth Division is not good either. The Fifteenth Division itself is a Category C division.  There are only three infantry regiments in the division: the 51st, 60th, and 61st.  In addition, it also has three regiments of engineering and artillery supplies, and seven regiments of the entire division, with a total of only 15,500 people. It is a standard C-type division.

    And the raid they suffered today was from the 134th Division, an elite unit of the 88th Group Army.  The entire army's baggage regiment was abandoned, as was the mountain artillery regiment.  More than one and a half of the three infantry regiments were killed, and many people in the remaining regiment were injured.

    After returning to Wushan Town, I counted the number of people. The 15,500-strong division now had less than 5,000 troops left. Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu, the head of the 15th Division, almost committed seppuku.  commit suicide.

    Today, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army can be said to have used armored units for the first time. The first combat of motorized and mechanized units brought huge power.

    The semi-motorized troops of the Little Devils are already out of date. If it weren't for the terrain and the fact that it was the first time for the soldiers of the Eighty-eighth Army to adopt this tactical method, they would probably have at least one division here forever.

    This is the power of a modern army. Although the Eighty-Eighth Group Army is not yet very mature, it has already begun to show its prowess.  Many problems were exposed during these processes. I believe that after this battle, the Eighty-eighth Group Army will begin to accumulate experience in initial air coordination and infantry-tank coordination. This will be helpful for the Eighty-eighth Group Army's further expansion in the future.  Of great benefit.

    ??????????????????????????

    On the night of February 9, 1938, Huainan, in the military camp outside the city.

    It can be said that it is very lively outside Huainan City tonight, with piles of fires burning everywhere and soldiers walking around everywhere.

    And in an open space, there are everywhereThere were round square tables, and some lightly wounded soldiers with their arms hanging were sitting there chatting with their comrades.

    In addition, there were some officers chatting there in twos and threes.  The cooks in the distance were cooking meat in large pots. The smell of meat in the pots had already made many soldiers look here.

    Tonight is the celebration dinner held by Zhou Weiguo. This is just a place outside Huainan City.

    There are such scenes in Xuyi, Chuzhou, Changfeng and other places.

    The pork, rice, flour, etc. that Zhou Weiguo extracted from the system were all distributed to the troops below.

    In addition, Zhou Weiguo also exchanged system points for a large amount of money from the system, and went everywhere to buy cattle, sheep, fish and other meat.

    But now, because the food in China is not abundant, the material level is not high yet.

    We didn¡¯t buy a lot of cattle and sheep. It doesn¡¯t mean that you can have as many as you want. It¡¯s just that each soldier can have a little taste.  But there are a lot of fish. After all, the rivers in this era are almost overflowing with fish.

    "General Zhou Weiguo, commander of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, has arrived!"

    While a group of soldiers were chatting there, a voice seemed to penetrate the entire camp.

    As the voice fell, Zhou Weiguo was wearing a yellow mud-colored cloak and a Zhongzheng sword on his waist.  Behind him were six infantry division commanders, six infantry division deputy commanders, two heavy artillery division commanders, an armored division commander, and Ma Chenglong, who was about to be promoted to the captain of the special forces group.

    Zhou Weiguo led his people along the way, and all the soldiers looked at the commander who led them to continuously win the war.

    During this period of time, these soldiers were very tired. They were constantly fighting, but at the same time they also looked at Zhou Weiguo with admiration.

    It was the young commander in front of him who continuously led to victory, wiping out the little Japanese divisions one after another.

    Killed one after another of the little Japanese division commanders.  Until now, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryo, a little devil, was still detained in Huainan City by Zhou Weiguo.

    Zhou Weiguo walked past each soldier and patted this soldier on the shoulder, then patted that soldier on the shoulder. All the soldiers who were patted on the shoulders stood in a very standard general posture, with a flash of excitement and red on their faces.  .

    Walking up to the lightly wounded people, patting their shoulders and looking at their injuries can make each of the lightly wounded people extremely excited. It seems that the next moment Zhou Weiguo wants them to die, they will not hesitate.  Same.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
