    The Japanese army was approaching fiercely, but it did not scare the 7th Division. Instead, it put huge pressure on the commander of the Third Theater Zone.

    As intelligence from the Chu County front line continued to come in, Chief Gu and others were stunned by the little devil's handiwork.

    They originally thought that the Japs would invest at most one division on the Chuxian front line. After all, the Japanese army was preparing to attack Wuhan, and the Sixth Division and other main forces were attacking Anqing and Hefei, and they simply could not spare too many troops to attack.  Bengbu.

    "But I never thought that the little devil would be so crazy. Not only did he transfer elites like the Ninth Division to Chu County, but he even sent the Chongteng detachment there.

    As a result, the Japanese army in Chu County has three division-level numbers. Plus the Chongteng detachment, grandma's. If these Japanese armies are all at full strength, there will be no less than 80,000 troops.  Army.

    However, everyone also knows that the 13th Division and the 101st Division in Chu County have just been severely damaged by the national army. In particular, the 101st Division has less than 2,000 remaining soldiers. Therefore, a conservative estimate, Chu County  The number of Japanese troops in the county should be 35,000 to 40,000.

    Even so, such a conclusion still made the commander of the Third War Zone a little uneasy. Although the famous Li Guoyao and his temporary seventh division were stationed in Bengbu at this time, they still might not be enough to watch in the face of such a powerful front of the Japanese army.  .

    This is not because Gu Zhu and Tong are outgrowing others and destroying their own prestige, but the gap between the two sides is really too big.  Although the 7th Division is a Category A division, it has just been expanded not long ago. It also experienced the Battle of Baima Gang, which annihilated the 101st Division, and the Battle of Hechi Town, which annihilated the 104th Regiment of the 13th Division. The troops suffered heavy losses.  .

    Although the war zone commander has transferred a lot of reinforcements to them, the vast majority of the soldiers have been in the army for less than half a year, and many of them have only three or a few months of military service. Such people are just a bunch of new recruits.

    But even so, the number of soldiers of the 7th Division is still far less than that of the Japanese army, not to mention that the Japanese army has also brought many technical arms this time. There are three tank brigades alone, and the total number of tanks and armored vehicles is not enough.  There are less than 300 vehicles and more than 100 artillery pieces.

    The combined power of such troops and firepower is quite terrifying. Not to mention a small temporary seventh division, even several other group armies in the third theater can only temporarily avoid the edge.

    Commander Gu knew that he had made a mistake this time. He should not have sent just one unit of the Seventh Division to garrison Bengbu. It was very difficult for the Seventh Division to hold on at the moment, and others did not dare to fight the Japanese army.  Not only did he become very passive for a while, but he also temporarily put the Seventh Division into danger.

    After thinking about it again and again, Chief Gu personally ordered someone to send a telegram to Li Guoyao, telling him that if he really couldn't hold it, surrender, and he would personally explain it to the Chairman.

    But what Gu Zhutong and others did not expect was that less than five minutes after the telegram was sent out, they received a call back from the 7th Division. In the telegram, Li Guoyao told Gu Zhutong and others that their 7th Division had already made preparations to cooperate with Bengbu City.  The worst-case scenario of life and death.

    Li Guoyao even said that the Seventh Division shouldered the responsibility of defending the homeland and resisting the war, and would never and could not retreat. Their Northeastern Army withdrew on September 18th, but this time they did not plan to withdraw, even if the entire army was wiped out, they would not make the first move.  Two Marshals Zhang and the entire 7th Division were ready for the final battle with the Japanese army.

    After receiving Li Guoyao's telegram, Gu Zhu and others were deeply shocked. They could hear from the telegram the determination of Li Guoyao and the Seventh Division to fight to the end!

    Thinking about it, he was just a miscellaneous division commander. His troops were not considered the elite of the national army, and their weapons and equipment were average. However, he repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. Obviously, this was directly related to Li Guoyao's character of fighting bloody battles to the end.

    Since Li Guoyao has decided to fight the Japanese army to the end, he, the commander-in-chief, can't say anything more. He can't order the 7th Division to withdraw from Bengbu without firing a shot!

    However, he could not show no expression at all. Commander Gu immediately ordered the theater logistics director to immediately transfer 1,000 mortar shells from the shortage of ammunition to Bengbu, and also sent ten Czech-style light machine guns to the 7th Division.

    In fact, Li Guoyao also knows that retreating if you can't defeat is the wisest choice. After all, if the people are gone, it will be completely ruined.

    But there is a mission, and the constraints of that bullshit system are there. Once the little devils occupy Bengbu City, then the mission of defending Bengbu will be a complete failure. Thinking of the terrible punishment, Li Guoyao decided to  mission accomplished.

    At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 30th, military cadres at the temporary seventh division and brigade held an emergency meeting at the Bengbu City Garrison Headquarters to discuss countermeasures.

    As soon as the meeting beginsAt the beginning, Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "Now that everyone is here, let's officially start. The Chief of Staff will talk about the current situation on the front line!"

    Ma Desheng immediately stood up and said: "Everyone, the little Japs are determined to siege Bengbu. Three armies are besieging Bengbu. All the way, Japanese Chief Shizuichi Tanaka is commanding. The total force is about 8,000 people. This Japanese army attacked from Chu County and went straight to Guangming. Now  We have already passed Shahe Town, and we can enter Guandian Town tomorrow at most."

    "The Central Route Army is commanded by the Japanese Chief Yoshizumi Ryosuke. The Japanese Army on this route has four infantry regiments, one chariot brigade and one artillery brigade, as well as a small number of cavalry. The total strength is about 15,000 people. This route  The Japanese army set out from Chu County and headed north to Fengyang. Now its vanguard has passed Hechi Town and has captured Hongxin Town. It is only a dozen kilometers away from Fengyang. At their speed, tonight  We can reach Fengyang and launch an attack."

    "The third army is commanded by Chiaki Shigeto, the commander of the Japanese Shigeto detachment. This army went north from Chu County and went straight to Dingyuan. It is now confronting our troops in Sangjian Town."

    "In addition, the Japanese army still has at least one reinforced regiment in Chu County to serve as a reserve force, and at the same time shoulder the defense task of Chu County!"

    After listening to the enemy's report, Li Guoyao immediately said: "Brothers, this is the current situation. Tell us what you think?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hu said: "Master, the Japs are well prepared this time. The total of the three armies is 30,000, and they are also equipped with aircraft, cannons and tanks. It seems that the Japs are powerful.  In Bide, I¡¯m afraid there will be a tough battle this time.¡±

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "It will definitely be a hard battle, but Bengbu itself is an important military town. At this time, it is more related to the crisis of the Shandong battlefield. Therefore, whether it is public or private, we have to fight for our lives!"

    "Master, since we can't retreat, we have to fight hard. With you here, brothers are not afraid!" Zhang Tengjiao said loudly.

    "Master, give the order, brothers will obey you!"

    "Master's seat"

    Seeing that the officers under his command believed in him unconditionally, Li Guoyao was moved and felt great pressure. He thought for a while and said: "Although the Japanese army is powerful and seems determined to win, we do not have no chance at all. We also have our own advantages!"

    "Advantage?"

    "What advantages do we have?"

    Li Guoyao said loudly: "Our advantage is that the Japanese army does not know our true strength. The enemy is overt and we are hidden. We can mobilize our troops at will to deal with them. In terms of military strength, 30,000 Japanese troops seem to be a lot, but our temporary seventh division is  There are more than 46,000 people, which gives us an absolute advantage in terms of military strength!"

    "Besides, we're not bad at firepower. As for infantry, we and the Japs use both 38-type guns. There's no difference between them. But in terms of light machine guns, the Czech-style light machine guns have better performance than the Japs' crooked ones."  . The Japanese army came with an artillery regiment this time, but we also have two artillery regiments, the little devils have tank troops and aircraft, and we have a newly formed air defense regiment."

    "In addition, it is a defensive battle, and the morale of the soldiers is high. It can be said that we are no worse than the Japs in any aspect, so we may fight this battle very hard, but we will definitely not lose!"

    Hearing Li Guoyao's analysis, everyone was immediately confident. Thinking about it, they have advantages in many aspects such as military strength, firepower and morale. It is really difficult for the little devils to defeat them.

    "Master, what should we do now?" Ma Desheng said.

    Li Guoyao immediately said: "Order: Each army immediately dispatches elite troops to block the Japanese army's advance and slow down the Japanese army's movement! At the same time, strict clearing of villages along the way will be carried out, and no one or any food will be left for the little devils.  We couldn¡¯t even let the little devil have a sip of clean water! Finally, all the city defense troops were in a tight formation, waiting for the little devil to come and die! Do you understand?"

    "I understand!"

    Everyone said in unison, the sound was deafening!

    "Well, let's all go back and get ready. The meeting is over!"
