    "Baga, immediately send a report to the front army and request aviation fire support." Nakajima shouted loudly towards me.

    The artillery position was bombarded, the infantry charge was repulsed, and two of the kid's three axes were knocked out. This made Nakajima and others furious, and they immediately used the aviation ace.

    "Hai!"

    It¡¯s no wonder that Nakajima Jingo was so angry. The shelling just caused great losses to the artillery wing of the 16th Division. According to the loss statistics reported by the artillery wing, a total of 16 mountain guns and 7 field guns were destroyed.  The artillerymen and the infantry team responsible for protecting the artillery suffered more than 600 casualties, and a fully equipped artillery regiment only had half of its original combat effectiveness.

    Although half of the combat power is still strong, Nakajima and others don't think much about it. Since landing in Tianjin, their 16th Division has been going smoothly. They have always been attacking and showing off their power. They have never been attacked.  People have been severely injured like this.

    This is like a victorious general. They have taken victory for granted, and never thought that they would be pressed to the ground and rubbed in such a little-known small county.

    So Nakajima and others were angry and wanted to pull out all the Chinese defenders on the opposite city wall and destroy them to relieve their hatred.

    More importantly, he could clearly see the county seat not far away. Although the city wall was not very tall, he could tell that the county city's defenses had just been overhauled. In addition, there were dense underground tunnels everywhere near the city wall outside the city.  Bunker, if there is not enough artillery support, taking this county will definitely pay a heavy price.

    Lieutenant General Nakajima knew the situation of his troops very well. Although the 16th Division claimed to have 25,000 elites, in fact this was only the situation when they landed in Tianjin.

    At that time, in addition to more than 22,000 regular armed forces, there were more than 3,000 supplementary troops.  However, after more than half a year of fighting, the unit suffered heavy losses, with more than 6,000 soldiers killed and injured. Therefore, before participating in the Battle of Guide, the 16th Division could really use only 19,000 soldiers.  Less than.

    And after fighting all night last night, each unit reported 2,200 casualties. Adding in the casualties during the day today, the troop casualties definitely exceeded 3,000.

    Although the current casualties are not equal to the absolute number of losses, such disastrous data has made Nakajima and others feel distressed.

    And if the battle continues like this, it will definitely affect the next battle. Even if Guide is really captured, the troops are likely to stagnate due to lack of troops.

    In fact, just when Nakajima Jingo¡¯s telegram requesting for help was sent to the Central China Front Army Headquarters, the Japanese Army Air Force had already dispatched an aviation brigade with a total of 18 aircraft to the front line.

    However, when the Japanese fighter planes appeared near Guide, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to set fire to all the firewood that had been collected in Guide City. The firewood had been sprayed with water in advance and could not burn at all.  Can emit thick smoke.

    Since Li Guoyao ordered people to set up more than 200 firewood stations throughout the city, the entire Guide City was enveloped in billowing smoke within a few minutes.

    Smoke belongs to thermal airflow, which usually rises to high altitudes, so it is not very obvious when viewed from below, but it is different for pilots flying at high altitudes.

    Looking down from a high altitude, you can see that the area of ??more than ten square kilometers is filled with billowing smoke. Not to mention the specific target, even Guide City is not clear where it is.

    In desperation, the Japanese pilots had to lower the flying altitude of the plane, but they were still unable to see anything clearly.

    Out of anger, the Japs¡¯ pilots could only throw a few aerial bombs at random and then withdraw. There was no other way, this battle could not be fought.

    ?????????????????????????????????? But the little devil is also a thief. What if there is no guarding the army in Guide? The bastard actually turned the plane and headed south, heading straight for Woyang City.

    ??Then these Japanese fighter planes vented their anger on the 61st Army Headquarters. 18 fighter planes blew up the entire Woyang City, causing considerable losses to the defenders.

    Fortunately, there were a large number of air defense troops on the defenders' side. The Japanese army did not dare to stay on the Guoyang battlefield for too long after being beaten down by two fighter planes, and then chose to return.

    However, due to the bombing by Japanese fighter planes, the Third Infantry Division seized the time to attack. At around 10 a.m. on the 30th, they finally captured the peripheral positions outside Guoyang City and began to attack the Guoyang City Wall.

    And just when Li Guoyao's troops were fighting the Japanese army on the southern front, the final decisive battle was entering on the battlefield in eastern Henan!

    Since the night of May 28, Xue Yue¡¯s troops have been attackingThe Doihara Division launched a crazy attack, with tens of thousands of troops attacking in turn. Although the 14th Division was not weak, it still suffered heavy casualties.

    Dofeiyuan was completely cornered by Xue Yue this time. At this time, he had very few troops under his control. There were only large villages such as Sanyi Village and Quxingji. The total strength was less than 6,000 people and they were short of food.  If you don't have enough ammunition, you are in danger of being completely wiped out.

    It was only at this point that Doihara truly understood the power of Xue Yue and the power of the Chinese army. This made him slightly regretful that he had underestimated the Chinese army too much before.

    But things have reached this point. He has no retreat and no choice. He can only lead his troops to resist desperately.  Either stand firm and wait for rescue from other troops, or surrender to Xue Yue's troops.

    " Surrender is impossible. It's not that Doihara himself is very stubborn, nor that he is not afraid of death, but that he has reasons why he would rather die than surrender.

    As one of Japan's leading intelligence experts, Doihara knows many imperial secrets. Based on this matter alone, it is impossible for the base camp to let him surrender to the Chinese.

    Secondly, so what if he surrenders, the support/party may be kind enough to keep him alive, but his family and friends who stayed in the country will suffer. The base camp will definitely punish them severely, in order to achieve the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

    Doihara has seen this kind of thing too many times, and he even carried out many things personally, so he will never allow such a thing to happen.

    On the contrary, if he is broken into pieces in this battle, then his family can be treated well, and more importantly, the base camp will also send his spirit to Kudanwa Shrine for incense worship.

    Therefore, even though the battle is becoming more and more unfavorable, and there are endless calls from China to persuade them to surrender, Doihara remains unmoved.

    While he ordered the troops to strengthen their counterattacks, he also called the commander of the Second Army Nishio and the commander of the North China Front Army Temple Cabinet to urgently call for help.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    However, I didn't expect that the Chinese government had a strong posture, but chose to retreat at the most critical moment. All 600,000 troops withdrew from the Xuzhou front line in just a few days. This allowed the Japanese army to concentrate a small 300,000 troops.  A punch hit the cotton.

    That¡¯s it, forget it, the plan failed, now even the Doihara Division is surrounded by the Chinese army, and its destruction is imminent.

    Out of anger, General Juichi Terauchi, the commander of the North China Front, immediately called the 16th Division on the Guide front and ordered them to break through the Chinese army at all costs and immediately rush into the battlefield in eastern Henan to rescue the 14th Division.

    At the same time, Terauchi Juichi also called Yan Junliu, commander of the Central China Front Army, with his own order, requesting the troops on the southern front to speed up and break into the battlefield in eastern Henan within two days, otherwise the 14th Division would be in danger.

    Of course, these alone are not enough. Terauchi Juichi ordered Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's Provisional Aviation Corps to immediately airdrop materials and personnel to the 14th Division, so that the 14th Division could maintain its combat effectiveness and continue to wait for reinforcements.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
