Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 405
The 200th Division is a large establishment, with more than 2 people, which is almost equivalent to a division of the Japanese army.

When this army is put into Taierzhuang, it will be a new force and will have unexpected effects.

"Great!"

"With the 200th Division, our next battle will be more favorable. This army is now almost the best army in the country."

The 200th Division is currently considered to be the best army in China, even the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army, and several other armies.

There is still a lot of lack in equipment. First of all, the Sichuan Army Group Army has no tank troops, which is worse than the 200th Division.

Later, Li Delin said another piece of good news.

"Everyone, we will be fighting in Taierzhuang this time, and the air force will participate."

When it comes to the air force, the generals at the scene also applauded, which is really good news.

In this way, when fighting in Xuzhou, both China and Japan have armored forces and air forces duel.

Bai Zhuge stood up and asked softly, "Lao Li, which air force is coming to Xuzhou?!"

In the Jinling Command Headquarters in Hankou, there is only a small formation guarding the airspace in the Hanyang area, and there are no extra fighters going north.

Bai Zhuge is very clear about this point. Now that the Jinling High Command is going to send an air force, could it be that they have brought in planes from abroad? !
Li Delin cleared his throat, "This aircraft formation is our Guangxi Air Force."

"Isn't our Guangxi air force under the unified command of the central government? That old boy, Donald, said he wanted to train our Guangxi air force."

"Now that the training is over, Principal Chang has transferred them to the Xuzhou area."

Before the July [-]th Incident, among the local troops, the Guangxi Army, the Sichuan Army, the Guangdong Army, and the Jinsui Army and so on.

These armies all have air forces, the most powerful of which are the Guangxi Air Force and the Guangdong Air Force.

Now after the Guangxi air force has been reorganized by the central government, there is a brigade, the third brigade, and two squadrons under its jurisdiction, namely the seventh squadron and the eighth squadron.

The Seventh Squadron is stationed at Xiaogan Airport, and the Eighth Squadron is stationed at Xinyang Airport. Now the planes of the two squadrons have been ordered to fly to Guide Airport.

Lv Tianlong, captain of No. 7 Squadron (Guangxi Aviation School Phase 1, native of Luchuan, Guangxi, returned overseas Chinese from Nanyang);
Lu Guangqiu, Captain of the 8th Squadron (Guangdong Aviation School 6th Phase, from Tiandong, Guangxi);

The third captain is Wu Ruliu (the third phase of Guangdong Aviation School, from Xinhui, Guangdong).

These people were all old subordinates of Li Delin and Bai Zhuge, and many of the pilots had studied in the Japanese Akeno Army Flying School.

After Bai Zhuge learned that it was the Guangxi air force, he also felt uncomfortable. These are all soldiers from the Guangxi family. Now they come to Xuzhou to fight, and they don't know how many people will survive.

After determining the overall strategy, everyone evacuated Xuzhou and began to make campaign arrangements.In Lincheng 22nd Army Command.

Yu Hua looked at the generals, "Everyone, I have already drawn up the plan for this battle, and everyone will make arrangements according to this battle plan."

"Remember, this battle must pretend to be defeated by the Japanese army, and then quickly move to the flank of the Japanese army."

According to the Tianlu tactics used by Xue Huhu in the Ninth War Zone, Yu Hua improved it a bit, and then used it for the Sichuan Army in the Fifth War Zone.

"Please rest assured, Staff Officer Yu, we will proceed as planned."

A group of people responded in unison, and everyone promised that they must fight the devils well and not destroy the encirclement and suppression plan.

After the Chinese side made preparations, the Japanese Central China Front Army and the Pingjin Front Army also launched attacks on the Xuzhou area almost at the same time.

Southern line!

Hata Junliu, Commander of the Central China Front Army, put the supplemented three divisions into battle.

The Ninth Division and No.13 Division, plus the 101st Division, these three divisions also strengthened part of the artillery and armored vehicle units.

Shiro Inaba's Sixth Division was under the command of Hata Junroku for the time being, so four divisions were directly dispatched on the southern front.

In response to the Japanese attack on the southern front, Li Delin dispatched his Guangxi troops to stop it.

The Guangxi army in the fifth theater has three armies, namely the No.11 Army, the commander-in-chief is Li Pinxian; the No.16 Army, the commander-in-chief is Xia Wei; the No.20 First Army, the commander-in-chief is Liao Lei.

The three group armies were all placed on the southern line, and some other armies, such as the New Fourth Army and the Northeast Army, were combined to block the Japanese army from going north.

For the Japanese army on the southern front, the attack power of the four divisions was indeed very strong. At the beginning of the attack, the three armies of the Guangxi faction really failed to parry it!

After Li Delin got the news, he immediately adjusted the defense method on the southern front, because the weapons and equipment of the little devils were stronger than those of the Guangxi troops, and Li Delin knew that he would suffer a loss if he confronted head-on.

He ordered the front-line troops to withdraw quickly to the west and get out of the front of Jinpu Road.

The Guangxi troops gave way, and the Japanese army went all the way north. When the news of the victory spread to Shanghai, Hata Junliu was as happy as a child.

He ordered Inaba Shiro and others to speed up the march, and the Guangxi troops retreated. On the one hand, the Japanese army quickly occupied Mingguang, Dingyuan, Huaiyuan, and Bengbu, an important town in Anhui Province, and advanced northward.

However, on the other hand, it also lengthened the front line of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's logistics troops needed to continuously transport military supplies to the frontline troops.

At this time, the Guangxi troops began to attack from the mountains, using a combination of mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, and constantly harassed the Japanese army. The New Fourth Army also ambushed the Japanese army's transportation lines behind enemy lines, pulled out railroad tracks, and destroyed roads and so on.

For a while, the Japanese offensive on the southern front fell into a stalemate, because the dense river network on the southern front was not conducive to the advance of the Japanese mechanized troops.

On the contrary, on the northern line, the troops commanded by Terauchi Shouichi, the Seya Detachment and the Tenth Division of Isoya Rensuke quickly defeated the defense lines of the Sichuan Army and the Lu Army's Third Army.

At the same time, the Fifth Division and the Sakamoto Detachment also successfully encircled Fuji County, and the 124th Division and the remnants of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army guarded Fuji County.

At this time, Fuji County is like the depression before the storm.At first glance, the grass growing in the ground seemed to feel a strong killing spirit.

As the sun rises, the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth. In the dawn light, countless grasses lie softly on the ground as much as possible.

At the same time, the birds flying in flocks in the sky and in the fields have also disappeared now, and they seem to have sensed the approaching danger.

The Seya Detachment was the first to attack Fuji County. The Pingjin Front Army assembled [-] planes and bombed Fuji County in turn, and the entire Fuji County was filled with fire.

After the Japanese aircraft left, the Seya Detachment concentrated artillery fire, more than 20 mountain artillery, field artillery, and field heavy artillery, and more than [-] tanks and armored vehicles, and launched a fierce attack on Fuji County.

The Boundary River and Beisha River established by the Waichuan Army in Fuji County, as well as several commanding heights on the hillside, held on until ten o'clock in the morning, and they were all lost. Three battalions of Sichuan Army soldiers were killed.

After the Seya Detachment captured the outlying positions in Fuji County, the Sakamoto Detachment detoured back to PY Mountain in Fuji County and launched a fierce attack on a regiment of the Sichuan Army guarding the area.

Commander Yao Chaolun, who guarded the position, blocked the Japanese army for a while according to the plan, and then began to set up minefields on the mountain and withdraw troops into the city.
