.On May 31, at around 10 a.m., the acting commander of the 21st Japanese Army, Zhongyuan Guiyi, ignored the fact that Qinzhou City, the only place where he lived, was shaking iron due to the fierce attack of 200,000 Chinese troops from three directions. He blatantly led the troops of the three regislatures through Huangwu and Dawu in the southeast suburb of Qinzhou, bypassed Shabu Town, which was fighting in full swing, and attacked Lihekou Town, Dongdaemen, Qinzhou. Because of its importance in geographical location, Lihekou Town has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. This place was originally covered by more than 30,000 troops.

The entire 36th Army was stationed in the entire army, and fortifications that had been repeatedly reinforced for many months can be called solid. But at this moment, not only the two main divisions of the 36th Army and the direct troops of the military headquarters have already been fully engaged in the battle to attack Shabu Town, but even the only rear-level division left by Lihekou was drawn out to go to the battlefield of Shabu Town that could not be captured for a long time. In other words, this Qinzhou East Gate, which was not dared to face in the past, was so empty that there was only a flowery place left.

This absolutely unequal battle. On one side, there were more than 10,000 Japanese troops equipped with well-equipped large numbers of tanks and powerful air cover, and on the other side, there were three thousand new soldiers with simple weapons and had never been on the battlefield. The strength was so disparity that even if the little Zhuge came to guard Li Hekou, he might have to retreat to the entire army.

The facts were worse than expected. Before the infantry of both sides contacted directly, most of the Chinese recruits fell into a psychological collapse under the first round of firepower attacks made by the opponents with tanks, heavy artillery, and airplanes.

Before noon arrived, Lihekou fell without a major battle.

At 1:00 p.m., the New Twenty Army Command War Room.

"I did a pretty job, and I was so fuckingly clean! What's the name of the newly appointed Japanese commander? By the way, I'm called Zhongyuan Guiyi. This kid is a ruthless character. For four days, I've been fighting in Shabu Town, and I've had a 200,000 troops attacking them in full. I just held up more than 10,000 people in my hands and didn't release them. This person was really a ninjutsu family. The Japanese attacked the ground this time, and the route was stable and ruthless. With just one hit, they captured the main force of the 36th Army. Brother Wei Li, Wen Lao Er, I have a premonition. This person will inevitably deal with us in the future. If you face this master, you will face this master.

, Let's be more trembling and trembling." Since he realized that he had some identity, Cheng Jiaji often encouraged himself as a Confucian general, and his daily words and deeds were as gentle as possible. But as soon as he became excited, he could not reveal his true nature in Qiu Ba's nature that was soaked in his soul in blood and fire. Cheng Jiaji himself knew this problem. Sometimes he wondered. In just two years, he was a newcomer in the new era who had received decades of orthodox education. Why did he degenerate from his bones into the standard soldier of the 1930s and 1940s? Could it be that there was a problem with the quasi-industrialized education system in the 20th century?

"Boss Cheng, I'm a little unfavorable to hear what you said. The Japanese devils in the Central Plains made a trick of a vengeance. But the risk is also great, and they are determined not to be the end. His only three regiments want to cooperate with the defenders of Shabu Town to attack the 36th Army and the reinforcements at the same time. Does he have this strength? If the 36th Army and the reinforcements cooperate well, they can turn around and make dumplings for the ten thousand people." In the two years of joining the army, there are also 180 major and minor battles, and Wen Songyuan still has this insight.

Since they dared to attack lightly, they had never considered the issue of insufficient troops to fight on both sides? There were so many dead people in Qinzhou City! Although Wen Songyuan was so unsuccessful that he was not alone. However, Cheng Jiaji, who was a hundred miles away, had no idea and no time to argue with Wen Songyuan, who was stubborn.

"Military throne, there is no need for a thousand years to come!" Qian Shen only glanced at the order sent by a staff officer, and handed the combat order issued by the camp forwarded by the gang to Cheng Jiaji.

"Transfer the rapid column of our troops to cooperate with the military operation of the 31st Army to retake Li Hekou." Cheng Jiaji understood what Qian Shen intended to instigate him to go on the battlefield. In this era, the motorized column was undoubtedly a powerful weapon, but it was also a "waiting wall" that made people jealous. If there was no powerful person to watch the front line, I was afraid that only one or two main attacks would attack, and the New Twenty Army would say goodbye to the gold-swalking beast he had worked hard to manage.

"Check me the General Command. Is it Brother Peimin? Yes! I am Cheng Haoran. I just received the order from the camp. Isn't there a car platoon? Yes! Lend me to use it and use it to get more people to insurance. I'm just afraid that they will throw my precious tanks there when they fail to attack." After contacting the transportation tool, Cheng Jiaji put down the phone and deliberately avoided Wen Songyuan's hot eyes and turned his head to Qian Shen, saying, "Brother Wei Li, when the car sent by the group arrives, I will take the guard battalion and Liu Yicheng and others to meet the 31-year-old military commander of Zhongyuan Guiyi."

"Boss Cheng, the scene over there is so hot. You only have one guard battalion. In addition, the two infantry battalions of the fast column are less than one regiment, and it is difficult to protect yourself in a tens of thousands of troops. Let me take the 200 regiment to protect you." Wen Songyuan, who was deliberately left by Cheng Jiaji, was really anxious this time. He said, "I am not idle yet, and he asked to go back to the office to explain military affairs. The government affairs and Cheng Jiaji's way were blocked. It seems that Cheng Jiaji would not agree to him today and would not be able to get out of this war room.

Cheng Jiaji, who had no intention of pulling down Wen Songyuan, was scolded with a funny look: "Wen Lao Er, you are the boss of me, this is how you treat me, the boss. I have been in love with you for more than ten or twenty years and have not had a fight with the Japanese. Okay! I know you. Take your baby 200 registrar and wait to take the car back."

Earlier, outside Lihekou Town, which was still shrouded in the smoke of the talk.

"Official Commander, please consider my suggestions again. In order to prevent oneself from becoming one, it is better to leave a corps to occupy the Lihekou key and block the reinforcements of the Chinese army." The black and thin image of the major general rank and the proud "Monkey Taige" of the Japanese were a bit snowy. It is the deputy chief of staff of Matsuki Matsuki, who is now the chief of staff of the 21st Army. In the eyes of Major General Matsuki, who is deeply influenced by traditional tactical ideas, blindly pursuing steady and down-to-earth command style, the crazy military adventure that the acting commander is about to take the last mobile force of the 21st Army to make a gamble with a winning rate of no more than 30%.

"Aoki Jun. Please urge the implementation of each unit! I am the acting commander, and I will be responsible for all the consequences of this move!" The Zhongyuan Ruoyi, which has been a comprehensive plan, is not something that Matsuki can speak in just a few words.

Therefore, under the strict order of "willingly" of the Central Plains Rule of the Central Plains, the three Japanese regiments rushed to the main force of the 36th Army who had just learned that Li Hekou was lost, and had not yet been able to gather its troops to change its formation to wait for the enemy's 36th Army. The main force was deeply trapped in the 36th Army on the 56th Army. After learning that the Japanese army was coming from behind, a general reserve team of multiple regiments immediately set up an emergency defense between Li Hekou and Shabu Town, trying to block the Japanese army. To be honest, the blocking troops fought hard, but they were scarce. There could stop the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers who were desperate to stake. They had to fight and retreat. In contrast, the Japanese army had already planned and cooperated with each other in a very tacit understanding, and the one who came from behind was advancing all the way. The 56th Army, which had been struggling for four days, was also fighting and retreating.

As time went by, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly unfavorable to the 36th Army, which was not in the front and tail. Just when Jiji, the position of the 36th Army, was in danger, a powerful Japanese army that appeared to have two regiments emerged from Qinzhou City at the right time, became the last "straw" that crushed the 36th Army, which was already overloaded.

Realizing that if he holds up, his troops will most likely collapse completely under the condition of being attacked from three sides, and may even be divided and annihilated by the Japanese army. The commander of the 36th Army was unwilling to accept it, and after sighing to the sky, the tiger's eyes issued a sorrowful order to break off contact with the Japanese army in front of him at all costs and withdraw from the northeast. After paying thousands of casualties, thanks to the Japanese army's pursuit and killing, the main force of the 36th Army was able to retreat to the Chanche Ridge and enter a safe area.

When the Chinese army was in danger, they chose to break through instead of fighting to the death on the spot. This made the Zhongyuan Ruo, a major general who had a string in his mind relaxed a lot after coming out of Qinzhou City. Only Zhongyuan Ruo and one person knew the purpose of this counterattack. It was neither to occupy Lihekou and improve the enemy-to-wealth situation in the east of Qinzhou, nor to surround and eat the two main divisions of the 36th Army. The former was because of the current military strength of the 21st Army, and it was destined to be unable to defend; the latter had no time to fight an annihilation battle at all. If they insisted on going against the trend, once the reinforcements of the Chinese army were carried out in the same way, they would come from behind, and it would be a trivial matter to break the belly. It was really a matter of losing all of these tens of thousands of people on the spot. Without the reserve team, there was no need to fight the battle below.

To put it bluntly, this fierce and powerful roundabout battle and a massive siege and annihilation battle was just a not-so-smart scam. Even the five or six thousand Japanese troops rushed out of the city were made up of the miscellaneous troops of the 21st Army and the Qinzhou Port, and Japanese employees of various Japanese trading companies attached some sailors drawn ashore from the warships. Of course, before the attack, the five or six thousand people were replaced with unified army uniforms. In other words, the real power of the seemingly sharp dagger stabbed out of Qinzhou City was far less powerful than it seemed on the surface.

All of this is just to force the 36th Army to retreat quickly, giving the illusion of the ability of the 200,000 Chinese people to besiege one of the 21st Army, the 21st Army, still annihilate the Chinese army with an army-scale capacity. Thinking of the Central Plains Rules, once this hypothesis is successfully created, even if it cannot force China to stop attacking Qinzhou, at least it will make the Chinese army more cautious when attacking, and will never dare to launch a fierce attack like now. In the Central Plains' expectation, as long as time is obtained, the 21st Army will have a much greater grasp of Qinzhou until reinforcements arrive.

With this original intention and after winning a complete victory, Zhongyuangui did not rush his army to pursue the 36th Army, which was about to lose control, nor did he turn back to fight for Lihekou. Instead, he re-arranged the defenders of Shabu Town to return to Qinzhou directly. At this time, the 31st Army, who was ordered to recapture Lihekou, had just arrived at the edge of this empty town, and the deployed troops led by Cheng Jiaji were still dozens of miles away. He could not and could not stop the Japanese army from attacking.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when Cheng Jiajishui rushed to Lihekou, which had been successfully recovered by the 31st Army at the cost of zero casualties, the commanders of the brigade who participated in the attack, the brigade commanders who had already returned to the military headquarters to celebrate.

Although praising the enemy is never a pleasant thing, we still have to admit that Zhongyuan Ruoyi still has his own set of things in grasping the opponent's psychology.

After the news that the 36th Army was severely damaged by the Japanese army, suffered casualties within three hours, and nearly 9,000 people were dispersed. After the spread of the 200,000 Chinese troops who were busy besieging Qinzhou, it not only affected the morale of the grassroots officers and soldiers of various troops, but also seriously, the enthusiasm of most senior commanders was also severely hit. These troops, division commanders, were not the most powerful. The Japanese in Qinzhou city were at a complete disadvantage. But the facts also proved that the Japanese could still bite people. At this time, when victory was in sight, like the commander of the 36th Army, they fought for four days in Shabu Town. In the end, not only did they not take the position, but they were also surrounded by the Japanese troops that were completely damaged by the Japanese. Seeing that they were bound to take a punishment, it was too unreasonable. Even the combat command of the heads of the troops with less selfish thoughts became a little cautious.

In this way, China's original attacks were naturally no longer as smooth as it had before.

Just when Zhongyuan Guiyi was secretly happy that his attempt was successful, a Chinese figure who was "attracted" by his fierce counterattack arrived in person and was once again sanitized by the army.
