Sword life

Chapter 166
[Your subordinates have eliminated 570 elite little devils, rewarding you with 57000 points! 】

Zhang Gang counted his fingers and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Now there is no war in northern Henan, and there is no war in Shandong either. This is probably the harvest of Madang Fortress.

As long as the Madang Fortress is not lost, the little devil's Central China Front Army will not be able to use the Yangtze River to transport supplies and troops, greatly reducing the pressure on the east of Wuhan.

On the side of Madang Fortress, Luo Yufeng dispatched troops immediately after annihilating a little devil marine.

The 99th Division originally had only two brigades and four regiments. After arriving in Madang, Luo Yufeng accepted many scattered soldiers and expanded it into three brigades and nine regiments.

In terms of fortifications, Luo Yufeng is more helpful. He specially invited Fu Fangheng from the Jiangyin Fortress to rebuild the Madang Fortress. There are dozens of steel fortresses and cement fortresses dotted around. It is really impenetrable!
The Japanese army dispatched marines to attack the Madang Fortress several times, but they all returned without success. They were firmly controlled in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it was difficult for the north and south banks to communicate with each other.

Surrounding Wu Khan, 200 million Chinese and Japanese troops began to strangle!

Yubei and Zhang Gang led the three verticals to hold back the No.20 24rd, 25th, and [-]th regiments.

In the south of Henan, Tang Enbo, Chen Cheng, and Hu Zongnan fought desperately with the Japanese First Army.

合肥，一、59、71、77军对上了日军第三、第十、No.13、No.16师团;
In Tianjia Town, the No.20 First Army, No.20 Sixth Army, No.20 Seventh Army, No.80 Sixth Army and the Japanese Hada Detachment and Sixth Division are in full swing;
The First Group Army, Fourth Army, and No.70 Fourth Army carried out the Ninth, No.20, [-]st, and [-]th Divisions of the Japanese Army;

The land of China is full of wars, and the world focuses its attention on the Wuhan area, while ignoring some less conspicuous areas.

"Currently, the No. 20th, 24th, and 25th divisions of the Japanese army have gathered in Xinxiang to the PY generation, which has had a great impact on the three verticals. I suggest that we still have to fight!" Xie Chengrui said.

"Yes, we have to show our muscles. The three rookie regiments who haven't been fully trained have only the same combat effectiveness. Just hit them and they will be honest!"

Zhang Gang looked at Chen Fengxiao and Xie Chengrui, and smiled: "It is definitely necessary to fight, but think about it, what can we do now? Can we kill the three little devils?"

"It's unlikely, but if you call in the main force from Shandong and cooperate with other troops, I think you can try to wipe out a regiment of little devils." Luo Huaiyu usually doesn't speak, but when he says it, he is shocked.

"Hey, I said Lao Luo, your thoughts are quite wild." Zhang Gang almost got angry, walked to the edge of the sand table, and said with a smile: "Old Luo said, the little devil has a plane on it, and a heavy artillery on it." Tanks, how can you kill all the little devils in such a flat place in northern Henan!"

"I can't, but I think I can!" Luo Huaiyu said with a smile.

"Old Luo, what you said is too cunning, my idea is to leave Henan with the three verticals, transfer to Shandong, and concentrate our forces to fight the fifth and tenth regiments first.

These two regiments are in a semi-disabled state, stationed on the front line of Jinan and Dezhou in Gunzhou, like a fishbone stuck in the throat.

Unplugging it will not only connect Shandong and Shanxi, but also block the Ping-Han line at any time.

Moreover, the Japanese army has always been rescued in case of emergency. If we fight the fifth and tenth regiments, it is possible to contain the three regiments in northern Henan!Let them dare not go south to the Ping-Han line. "

"What if they are not restrained? Let the little devils get through the Ping-Han line, then Wuhan will be directly exposed to the little devils' soldiers, and the consequences will be much more serious!" Xie Chengrui said with some concern.

Zhang Gang laughed loudly: "If this is the case, that would be great, we will fight here if the little devil hits here!" After speaking, Zhang Gang pointed to a certain place on the map.

Everyone was taken aback, Xie Chengrui laughed and said: "I knew the chief was brave, but I never thought he would be so brave. If he succeeds, the life of the little devil will be over!"

In mid-June, Zhang Gang led the Three Columns to leave northern Henan and regained Liaocheng, threatening the safety of the 6th and [-]th regiments of the Japanese army. The Japanese army had to abandon Gunzhou and shrink to the Jinan-Dezhou line.

In Jinan, in the division headquarters of the Fifth Division, Banyuan Zheng was restless like a wolf, circling back and forth in the command room. There were 4 to 5 in the Three Columns, 2 to [-] in the Tenth Army, adding up to [-] troops, and the Fifth Division Only [-] people.

If it was the Fifth Division before the war, Itagaki still had the confidence to fight back and forth, but after nearly a year of fighting, although the Fifth Division had outstanding military exploits, the damage was also great, and the recruits alone had to be replenished twice.

The current Fifth Division actually has 5000 people, of which [-] are recruits, and most of the remaining [-] veterans are wounded.

Even guessing with the most optimistic mind, the fifth division's combat effectiveness is only [-]% of the original, and it is possible to win one-on-one, but it is sure to die in one-on-five.

"What about the No. 20 Third Division?" Itagaki asked like a wolf. These troops were originally used to supplement the Fifth Division, but they were transferred into a new division to support the Pinghan Road operations. There is still resentment in his heart.

"His Excellency Meijin rejected the request to send three divisions to Shandong. He said that he asked you to hold back Zhang Gang's main force. When the Battle of Wuhan is over, the free imperial army will naturally deal a fatal blow to Zhang Gang's army!"

"Baga!" Itagaki Zhengshilang couldn't bear it any longer, he drew out his command saber and slashed wildly!
When the Battle of Wuhan is over, how many soldiers will be left in the Fifth Division!
Also desperate was Rensuke Isotani of the [-]th Division. After all, the [-]th Division had only lost one regiment, while the [-]th Division had completely wiped out two regiments. The defense zone is close to the area of ​​Liaocheng. If there is a real fight, he will be the first to die!
