    While the Japanese troops in North China were busy preparing to deal with the anti-Japanese forces in the defense zone, the Japanese troops in Central China had already begun to take action.

    Under the order of Okamura Neiji, the enemy's 106th Division used a surprise attack to break through the left wing of the defender's position from the west of Fengxin, penetrate into the flank and rear of its frontal defense, and annihilate the defender in the northwest area of ??Gao'an.

    At the same time, the Japanese 5th Brigade was scheduled to land at the camp north of Xiangyin at dawn on September 23. The main force of the army launched an attack at the same time and quickly advanced to the Pingjiang area in the upper reaches of Mi River to annihilate the Chinese No. 2 troops in the area.  15th Army.

    Soon, the enemy's 106th Division in the direction of Nanchang learned that the 19th Group Army of the Ninth Theater District had deployed four corps on the front line about 30 kilometers from Gao'an to Fengxin. The division commander Nakai Ryotaro based on the 11th Army  According to the order, it was decided to use Saeda Yoshishige's 102nd Brigade to conduct a diversionary attack from the large town in the northeast of Gao'an to the Lotus Mountain in the west and the junction of the 32nd Army and the 58th Army in the Gao'an area.

    At the same time, the main force of the division quickly surrounded and attacked the 184th Division of the 60th Army in the Huibu area of ??Fengxin County on the northernmost side of the garrison, and then detoured to the rear west of the front of the 19th Army.  The 102nd Brigade stepped up its attack to cooperate with the main force of the division in conducting roundabout attacks behind the defenders.

    Since the enemy 106th Division used a small number of troops for frontal containment and used its main force to detour from the left wing (north wing) of the defenders to the rear of the defenders, the 49th Army, 32nd Army, 58th Army, and 60th Army were defending frontally.  The first army was forced to retreat.

    In order to stabilize the battlefield in northern Gansu, Xue Yue, commander of the 9th Theater Command, mobilized the reserve 74th Army on September 16 and ordered the army to immediately move forward from Fenyi to Shanggao. The military headquarters and the 57th Division were located at Shanggao.  The 58th Division is located in the Guanqiao area northeast of Shanggao; the 51st Division quickly moves toward the mountainous area of ??Shangfu west of Fengxin to cover the retreat of the defenders and prevent the enemy from continuing to advance.

    At this time, although the various units of the 19th Group Army fought hard to kill the enemy, they were in a tactically unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy from both the front and the rear.

    Luo Zhuoying then decided: the two divisions of the 49th Army still occupy the positions on the south bank of Jinjiang River in Gao'an County; in addition to leaving one division of the 32nd Army to defend Gao'an City, the other division will withdraw to the south of Jinjiang and jointly organize the south bank of Jinjiang River with the 49th Army.  defense; the 58th Army and the 60th Army in the Yanli and Fengxin areas provided their own cover to resist the retreat to Yifeng in the west; the 74th Army reached the northeast of Shanggao and assumed the defense of Sixi, Guanqiao, and Tangpu.

    Soon, the Japanese 102nd Brigade retreated from the front and the 106th Division from behind to Gao'an. The first section of the 32nd Army fought with the enemy until evening and withdrew from Gao'an City, then demolished the pontoon bridge on the Jinjiang River.

    After the Japanese army occupied Gao'an, they immediately turned northwest and attacked Xiushui via Shangfu Town in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the 30th Group Army near Xiushui City.  Xiang Wuning.

    The 19th Group Army deployed four corps from Gao'an to Fengxin in a front-line manner. However, due to insufficient troops on the left and in depth, the enemy broke through and was soon forced to use reserves.

    In northern Hunan, because the Japanese army had two divisions and two brigades, they started in a different direction from Nanchang at the beginning of the battle, and adopted the tactic of advancing head-on to support each other.

    After breaking through the defenders' position, they did not engage in entanglement with the defenders on the spot. Instead, according to the planned plan, they overran the defenders and broke into the Mi River line to the south to block the defenders' retreat. Then, they used the artillery and tank units of the two divisions to  , cooperate with the infantry to carry out encirclement and annihilation.

    At dawn on September 23, two divisions and one brigade of the Japanese 11th Army launched an attack from the north of the Xinqiang River and the Mufu Mountain area. With the cooperation of more than 10 fighter jets, they all passed through on foot that day.  New Wall River.

    When the enemy advanced south, the troops of the 9th Theater Division all used the defensive zone to carry out strong resistance, and one unit used mobile warfare to attack the enemy.  The 60th Division was mobilized to provide reinforcements to the front line, and at the same time, the defensive forces along the Milishui River were strengthened. The troops behind enemy lines on the south bank of the Xinqiang River and the Mufu Mountains were ordered to conduct large-scale guerrilla operations. The defense battle in Changsha entered a white-hot stage.

    For this battle, the Ninth War Zone is still very confident. First of all, the terrain here is not as smooth as that in Wuhan, and the water and land transportation is also very convenient, which is conducive to the Japanese attack.

    There are mountains and rivers outside the city of Changsha, which is conducive to defense. Moreover, the Japanese army attacked for a long distance, so the defenders were waiting for work.

    The most important thing is that the comparison of the strength of the two sides has changed greatly. After the Japanese army occupied Wuhan and other places, a large number of field troops were turned into garrison troops, and the number of troops available for offense was greatly reduced.

    The National Army was on the contrary. Due to the loss of a large number of towns, the troops withdrew to southern Jiangxi and northern Hunan, and their forces were relatively concentrated.

    In addition, Changsha will be Chongqing in the future. It can be said that the Chinese military and civilians have no retreat and must fight. The right time, place and people are on the side of the Chinese. It is very difficult for the Japanese army to capture Changsha City.

    In order to severely damage the Japanese army under Changsha City,Xue Yue simply set up his theater headquarters in Changsha City. At the same time, in order to contain the Japanese army, Xue Yue called the Military Commission and requested the national army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei and Henan to immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army along the Yangtze River, forcing the Japanese army to  Do not strengthen the alert to prevent the mobilization of reinforcements to reinforce the Changsha area.

    Naturally, the Military Commission will not refuse to agree to the request of the Ninth War Zone. After all, the Changsha Battle is of great importance.

    Soon, the Military Commission's order was issued to the First War Zone, the Third War Zone, the Fifth War Zone and the Sulu War Zone. In the combat order to the Sulu War Zone, the Military Commission requested the Sulu War Zone to concentrate its forces and launch an attack on the northern Jiangsu region.  With a limited attack, it would be best if the Huaibei Salt Farm could be destroyed.

    After receiving the order from the Military Commission, Yu Xuezhong and others were in trouble. Although the Japanese garrison in northern Jiangsu was not very large, there were thousands of people in total, especially most of the main force of the 21st Division.  Here, once they gather a large number of troops, they will inevitably cause a counterattack from the little devils.

    The most important thing is that the Sulu Theater Headquarters suffered heavy losses in the last counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. The 51st Army lost 4,000 people, the 57th Army lost 5,000 people, and Shi Yousan¡¯s 69th Army lost 8,000 people, and 7  Seven or eighty-eight people add up to more than 20,000 people.

    Although they have recovered somewhat now, they are still far away from reaching their peak, so it is really not appropriate to concentrate our forces against the Japanese troops in northern Jiangsu at this time.

    In desperation, Yu Xuezhong had no choice but to convene a meeting with the commanders of all armies to discuss countermeasures!

    On the day of the meeting, people from the Shandong Guerrilla Corps also attended, but it was not Li Guoyao who came, but Chief of Staff Ma Desheng.

    At the meeting, the Sulu Theater Headquarters assigned major combat tasks to all units, including the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. There is no way, no one can violate the orders of the Military Commission!

    The mission of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps is to gather forces and launch a diversionary attack against the enemies of Xuzhou and Taierzhuang, to contain the main force of the 21st Division in the Xuzhou area, and to prepare for the main force of the theater to seize various salt fields in northern Jiangsu.

    However, when Ma Desheng sent the results of the meeting to Li Guoyao, Li Guoyao simply rejected the battle plan for the Sulu theater because it was unnecessary.

    Subsequently, Li Guoyao personally called Yu Xuezhong, saying that the Huaibei Salt Farm was just a small tactical target and there was no need to assemble the main force to seize it. Their Shandong Guerrilla Corps would find a way to destroy it.

    As for the task of concentrating troops to contain Xuzhou and Taierzhuang, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps will not carry out the task for the time being. The reason is that the main force of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps has been dispersed and cannot be assembled in a short time.

    After reading the telegram sent by the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, Yu Xuezhong and others were completely confused. Li Guoyao's words were very clear. He would send people to destroy the Huaibei Saltworks, but he would not send out large troops to attack Xuzhou and Taierzhuang. At the same time, he did not advise Su  The Lu War Zone concentrated its forces to fight the Japanese army to the death.

    In terms of nature, this was standard battlefield disobedience by Li Guoyao, but the focus of Yu Xuezhong and others was not on this. They were surprised how Li Guoyao planned to destroy the Huaibei Saltworks?

    You must know that the salt field is the most important economic pillar of the Japanese army in the Huaihe and Huaihe regions. Even though there is no large-scale Chinese army in the Huaihe and Huaihe regions, the Japanese army still stationed a large number of troops.

    There is a complete infantry division stationed by the Japanese army in the southern Jiangsu area, and it is similar in the northern Jiangsu area. It can be said that the Lianghuai area is one of the places where the Japanese army is most densely stationed on the Chinese battlefield.

    Although Li Guoyao's troops have strong combat effectiveness, it is difficult to destroy several large salt fields in northern Jiangsu when surrounded by such heavy enemy forces.

    But after repeated confirmation, Li Guoyao did intend to single-handedly destroy the salt fields controlled by the Japanese army in northern Jiangsu.

    Overjoyed, Yu Xuezhong immediately called the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. As long as they could destroy the salt fields in northern Jiangsu, the important people in the theater headquarters would ask for weapons and equipment. In a word, they would fully support them.

    In this regard, Li Guoyao just asked them to send troops to the area north of Linyi and make a posture of attacking Linyi. There was no need to take care of the rest!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
