    At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army successfully entered Quanjiao County. The defenders evacuated from Quanjiao, and Quanjiao City fell into enemy hands.

    However, Major Generals Shigetori Numata and Oki Yamaguchi were in a very unhappy mood. Although they captured Quanjiao City, they found that the entire city was almost deserted after entering the city. Not only were there no young people, but even the elderly and children were gone.  none.

    When the situation was reported back to the temporary headquarters, Major General Shigenori Numata said with a ferocious face: "Baga! The Seventh Division and Li Guoyao are extremely cunning. I will make you pay a heavy price."

    Major General Yamaguchi Oki immediately said: "Numata-kun, please be patient. Although the imperial army failed to completely wipe out Li Guoyao's troops, they captured Quanjiao County and took away Li Guoyao's lair. This is enough to explain to the division headquarters.  However, the tasks assigned by the front army and the base camp have not been completed yet, and we still need to make persistent efforts!"

    Numata Shigetori said in a deep voice: "Yo Xi, but that hateful guy has escaped, and now it will be difficult for us!"

    Yamaguchi Chonger thought for a while and said: "Li Guoyao's troops have just evacuated from the city and must not have gone far, so as long as the imperial army hangs them from a distance, they can keep biting their tail, so I suggest that the imperial army immediately dispatches elite troops  Let¡¯s pursue it, Numata-kun, what do you think?¡±

    "Yo Xi, that's great!"

    Then Shigetori Numata loudly ordered: "Order: The Yamada Regiment immediately leaves the city to pursue it. It must catch up with the Chinese army, otherwise it will be severely punished!"

    "Hai!"

    However, just as the Japanese army was storming Quanjiao, a group of senior officers of the Nationalist Government at the headquarters of the Third War Zone Commander far away in Hefei were also paying attention to the fighting here.

    "Report, we have just received an urgent telegram from the intelligence department. The Japanese army has captured the peripheral positions of Quanjiao City, and the vanguard troops have broken into Quanjiao County. The Seventh Division temporarily withdrew from Quanjiao, and Quanjiao fell."

    The words of the combat staff officer made the atmosphere in the combat command room of the Third Theater Command Headquarters instantly become extremely solemn, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the face of Commander Gu Zhutong.

    Gu Zhutong frowned and said in a deep voice to Chief of Staff Huang Baitao: "Huanran, didn't you say that the Seventh Division has strong soldiers and horses? Although it is a Class B division, its strength is not as strong as that of a Class A division. How come you only defended it for one day and destroyed all the troops?"  Was Jiaocheng lost?"

    Huang Baitao's face looked a little ugly, but he still said: "Sir, the Seventh Division is indeed strong, but as you know, there is no way to defend Quanjiao. There is not even a decent city wall. It is a dead place. Besides, you know  The little devil has dispatched an entire division this time, and it is said that planes and tanks were also dispatched today. It is commendable that Li Guoyao's troops were able to hold on until dark!"

    Chief Gu sighed and said: "It's not like I don't know this, but you all know the importance of Quanjiao. As long as the Japanese army captures Quanjiao, they will inevitably attack Feidong along the west of Quanjiao, and then Hefei. In addition, the Japanese army's second  The Sixth Division is ready to move and seems to be landing on the southern Anhui front line. Our situation is very bad!"

    Tao Guang, commander of the 28th Army, immediately said: "Sir Gu, now we must find out the current situation of the 7th Division and see where they have withdrawn to. Can they continue to block the Japanese army? In addition, we must also do  If the Japanese army plans to march westward to Feidong, it is best to accumulate heavy troops in Feidong!"

    "Well, immediately send a report to the Seventh Division to inquire about their situation!" Comrade Gu Zhu said.

    "yes!"

    Then Gu Zhutong continued: "Now we only have one division in Feidong. Once the Japanese army breaks through Li Guoyao's defense line, it will be difficult to stop the Japanese offensive with one division. Let's put the Tenth Group Army's  The 63rd Division and the 192nd Division were transferred to Feidong to defend Feidong together with the 194th Division. I don¡¯t care what methods you use, you must hold on for half a month."

    "yes!"

    With the withdrawal of the main force of the 7th Division, the fighting also shifted from the city to the outside.

    However, the situation reported back from outside the city was not good. Although the Yamada unit was the most powerful unit of the 26th Brigade, it seemed to have encountered an opponent after leaving the city. Li Guoyao's troops did not blindly escape, but as long as there was a suitable  The terrain will start blocking.

    And during the pursuit, Chinese snipers appeared around the Japanese army from time to time, killing officers and technical units, causing huge trouble to the Yamada Regiment.

    It was still daytime, and after the sun set at seven o'clock in the evening, the situation became increasingly serious. In desperation, Numata Shigetori had to order the troops to stop the pursuit.

    ? ?The reconnaissance plane reported another new situation. After reconnaissance plane investigation, it was discovered that Li Guoyao's troops had withdrawn to the line of Xigushan, dozens of kilometers away from Quanjiao County, and seemed to have deployed defensive positions there.

    After receiving the situation, Major General Shigetori Numata was overjoyed. He was not afraid that Li Guoyao's troops would set up a battle formation and fight them to death, but he was only afraid that these cunning soldiers would escape into the mountains and not come out.

    I think the majestic Major General Brigade Commander of the Imperial Japanese Army can't lead his troops all over the mountains and plains to look for them. Not to mention that they can't be found, it would be too embarrassing to do this.

    Now that Li Guoyao's troops have stopped at the front line of Xigu Mountain, Numata Shigetori is naturally very happy.

    After a night of silence, the Yamada Regiment started taking action again early the next morning, pursuing the retreat in the direction of the 7th Division.

    Major General Shigetori Numata and Colonel Nobuo Sakata in Quanjiao City each led a force out of the city. Shigetori Numata took a regiment of troops to reinforce the Yamada Regiment, while Nobuo Sakata's troops were ordered to attack.  Cao'an Township, Dashu Town and other places launched sweeps.

    At the same time, Yamaguchi Chongji stayed behind in Quanjiao County with more than 2,000 troops, responsible for guarding the baggage and the lightly and seriously wounded.

    Soon after leaving the city, the Japanese Sakata Regiment launched a crazy revenge on the villages outside the city. This was Numata Shigetori's order.

    In this battle, Numata Shigenori's troops suffered extremely heavy losses. So far, more than 2,000 soldiers have been killed, and there are more than 2,000 wounded. Such losses have far exceeded their estimates.

    More importantly, despite such heavy losses, the Japanese army did not get effective relief. Therefore, while sending troops to surround and kill Li Guoyao's troops, Numata Shigenori also wanted to retaliate against ordinary people in Quanjiao.  He wanted to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and kill all the Chinese who dared to resist.

    But what made Colonel Sakata angry was that when they arrived at Baiyun Village, the nearest village to the county, they found that the entire village was empty.  Not to mention people, there was not a single chicken or dog. The doors of every house were locked, and the whole village was dead silent.

    Out of anger, Colonel Sakata immediately ordered people to burn down Baiyun Village.  Suddenly, the entire village was shrouded in flames, and all the houses were burned down by the Japanese army.

    What the little devil didn't know was that Li Guoyao had long known their temperament and would retaliate against ordinary people once the attack was blocked. Therefore, before the attack was launched, he had ordered the troops to strictly implement the tactics of fortifying walls and clearing fields. The people in nearby villages did not care whether they wanted to or not.  They all had to retreat into the mountains to avoid being massacred.

    At the beginning, the people were not very happy. After all, it was the Chinese New Year season. Who wouldn¡¯t like his wife and children to stay on the hot bed, and who would want to go outside and be blown by the cold wind!

    "But when the common people hiding in the dark saw the beast-like behavior of the little devils, they all felt scared. Fortunately, they listened to the arrangements of the troops, otherwise they would all be finished by now.

    Along the way, smoke billowed everywhere the Japanese army passed. In just one morning, 33 villages were destroyed, but not a single civilian was found.  It was difficult to find a few Chinese people in a small village, but they were all old men and women who could not walk. Not even a young man was seen.

    Out of anger, the brutal Japanese army immediately regarded several old people as the targets of their anger!

    Although several people were killed, Colonel Sakata felt more and more uneasy. The scene in front of him was too terrible. If all the Chinese were united like this, it would be a disaster for the great cause of the empire.

    You must know that the supplies of the Imperial Army now rely entirely on domestic transportation. If supplies cannot be obtained from local people, it will greatly limit the combat radius of the Imperial Army and also limit the size of the army. In this way, if you want to conquer the entire China, you still have to  I didn¡¯t know it was the Year of the Ox and the Moon of the Horse!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
