War of Resistance

Chapter 774 Inaba Shiro
However, it is very strange that after the Japanese army's Hada detachment took down Daguan Town, it did not immediately march towards Anqing, but stationed there.

It seems that they took Daguan Town just for fun, yes, it was just for fun.

On the contrary, the area around Hefei has become a mess.

Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, the head of the newly appointed Sixth Division, the outpost troops of the Sixth Division launched a very violent attack under the cover of its powerful firepower.

The progress of the Sixth Division can be described as "rapid progress". They have been making great progress on this land on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The Sixth Division was originally the trump card of the standing divisions of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness belongs to the leader of the Japanese army. Facing the descendants of the five-provincial coalition forces like Xu Yuanquan's No. 20 Sixth Army, it is definitely not the elite of the national army. As far as the troops are concerned, they are no opponents at all!

Relying on their powerful firepower, the vicious Japanese army launched a very fierce attack on the national army camp. Although the troops stationed in Hefei had a division of troops, they only had [-] people, facing the enemy's [-] troops. It is impossible to encircle and attack without panic.

Indeed, according to the order of battle, Xu Yuanquan's troops are indeed the order of battle of the Central Army, but they have been forgotten. Basically, they are collateral troops of the Central Army.

Yes, it is collateral, even Huangpu students are not the kind of priority supply.

对于中央军而言，像原来的教导总队以及No.30六师、No.80七师、No.80八师以及土木系No.11师、No.14师、No.90八师这些部队才是根正苗红的中央军嫡系。

Even the company commanders and platoon leaders of these troops graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.

Like the No.20 Sixth Army, it would be good if there is a regiment leader or above who can be a direct descendant of Huangpu.

Of course, this can't just be blamed on Lao Jiang, it also has something to do with the standpoint of their own faction - no leader of an independent faction wants his troops to be mixed with sand by people from other troops.

Yes, these Whampoa officers are, to a certain extent, like sand!
The officers who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy (that is, the Central Military Academy) belong to the Whampoa Department of the Central Army and are the direct descendants of Chairman Jiang!

Generals like Xu Yuanquan, who are on the fringes of the Central Army, are not favored and valued by Chairman Jiang. If even the middle-level officers and grassroots officers and soldiers under him are the eyesliner planted by Chairman Jiang, then his Generalissimo The commander probably didn't mean anything in front of him.

Of course, if the middle-level officers and grass-roots officers and soldiers are all from the Whampoa faction, the commander-in-chief must not be his turn—it must be the middle-level of the Central Army's direct line.

These candidates may be Xue Yue, or people like Hu Zongnan will be promoted, but it is definitely not Xu Yuanquan's turn.

The current No.20 Sixth Army, in terms of faction and command, is still in a state where Xu Yuanquan can fully command it.

However, this also has a disadvantage, that is, the combat effectiveness of the troops is not strong. In addition to the weapon factor, it is also the reason why the quality of the officers cannot keep up.

In addition to the fact that two regiments of the Sixth Division have been sent to attack Huaining and Zongyang, there are still [-] troops attacking Hefei!

……

On this day, the sky is gray, and everywhere is sultry.

The state of the weather is like the hesitation of Lao Ba when he was squatting in the toilet, wanting to do it but not wanting to do it.

Of course, it refers to rain here, not Ollie.

As the supreme commander of a division, Inaba Shiro had already appeared on the frontline battlefield as soon as the battle started.

There was a rumbling sound of cannonballs, and the shells pierced the sky, and then smashed hard on the ancient city wall of Hefei, causing the mountains to shake and the ground to shake.

Inaba Shiro's face was as heavy as water, and he stood motionless in the open space next to the outpost headquarters, his blade was like a light, his eyes were like the cold north wind, full of bleakness and murderous intent!
"Jijing-sama, Hefei is about to fall, we should get ready and start tomorrow's celebration banquet." Inaba Shiro's old zombie-like face finally showed a smile, the stubble under his nose Against the background of the brush and beard, it looked extraordinarily ferocious.

"Yosei, under the leadership of Inaba Division Chief, our Sixth Division will surely win the battle!" Major General Tokutaro Sakai, the brigade commander of the No.11 Brigade, flattered him.

Unlike Shiro Inaba, who already knows his destiny, Major General Tokutaro Juni is still a middle-aged officer, and he is only in his early forties. For him, this war of aggression against China is his promotion ladder!

If there is no such war, Tokutaro Shii can only live in peace and contentment, gain qualifications in the army, survive to a certain age, and then make a little achievement before he can rise up.

But it's different now, Tokutaro Juni must seize this battle to achieve the position he wants to be promoted to!
"The No.11 brigade must win Hefei today! If it can win Hefei, I will show you the first contribution to the base camp!" Inaba Shiro said in a deep voice. For him, as long as the Sixth Division can fight regularly If he wins, the people in the headquarters will naturally think of how to promote him and appoint him!

"Hay! Thank you for the great love of the head of the division. I will definitely be able to capture Hefei in the shortest possible time!" Major General Tokutaro Tokutaro promised very seriously, almost slapping his chest.

Sure enough, after hearing the words of the head of the division, Major General Tokutaro Tsuii immediately organized the officers and soldiers of the No.11 Brigade to launch a more powerful attack—even at the command of death!
Looking back at what's going on in the city?
The camera turns to the city.

Rows of soldiers in iron-blue uniforms were hiding behind the city wall, and some of them didn't even dare to raise their heads—the marksmanship of these little devils was too accurate, and they had indeed been captured by the Japanese army. The firepower was completely suppressed.

"Why don't you continue to fight? Wait until they enter Hefei?!" The battalion commander stepped forward to supervise the battle.

"Sir, if you continue to fight like this, all the brothers will die! These little Japanese are very accurate with their marksmanship, and they fight like hell, and their firepower is fierce. I'm afraid it won't be a problem if we continue to fight like this..." A The company commander was persuading his officer.

"Let's keep it up first, let's talk when we can't hold it!" A trace of uncertainty flashed in the battalion commander's eyes.

They are not direct descendants of the Central Army, and the enemy they are facing is drawn from Nanjing. It can be said that they are the elite of the Japanese army.

The performance of the Japanese army in the Central China battlefield can be seen. These equipment are not considered good national troops, and it seems that they are not so willing to defend.

Indeed, Xu Yuanquan planned to defend against the city wall of Hefei. After all, if he retreated without a fight, he would be shot!
However, is it really easy to keep Hefei?not necessarily.

In the evening of the same day, under the ferocious attack of the wild animal unit of the Japanese Sixth Division, in the evening, the city wall of Hefei collapsed, and countless Japanese soldiers with high morale and excited screams rushed into the city of Hefei.

On this day, Hefei fell.

That night, it rained heavily!
