"Teacher seat! Division seat! The Japanese outside the city retreated!" A captain officer from the Third Division head walked in excitedly and reported loudly to Li Jupeng in the division headquarters.

Li Jupeng was surprised to see this and looked at the Chief of Staff Wu Dingwen and asked, "Are you sure the Japanese have really retreated?"

"Confirm that the 114th Division in the east of the city has retreated over the Huaihe Bridge, and the 6th Division is also slowly retreating. Now the Huaihe Bridge is full of Japanese soldiers!" The captain and officer nodded repeatedly and replied.

"Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Li Jupeng turned his head and asked.

Wu Dingwen pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the reason why the Japanese retreated was probably because they noticed the actions of our reinforcements! Of course, it was also possible that they were forced to retreat because of insufficient ammunition, but the latter was less likely. The Sixth Division was not diligent and supply was insufficient, so they would never lose their offensive ability so quickly."

"Then do you think we should pursue it?" Li Jupeng asked.

"If you pursue it, it is not ruled out that this is the Japanese's plan to lure the enemy, but if the Japanese really want to retreat, we will sit idly by and let them retreat smoothly, and then we will lose a rare opportunity!" Wu Dingwen analyzed.

Li Jupeng was also a little unsure of attention, so he immediately looked up and ordered the captain officer: "You should immediately generate electricity to the military captain in the name of the division headquarters to report this situation. Please decide whether we should pursue it!"

"Yes!" the captain officer responded happily, turned around and walked out quickly.

………………………… Yingzhou, within the Fourth Division, has now become Qiao Anbang’s temporary headquarters.

"Military seat, the Third Division urgently sent a telegram." As soon as Qiao Anbang came back from the city gate, a communications soldier came up with a telegram in his hand.

Qiao Anbang reached out to take the message and hurriedly read it, and his face instantly became extremely heavy.

"Military, what's wrong?" Yali, who was standing beside her, suddenly frowned and looked worried, and asked with concern.

Qiao Anbang did not answer Yali, but walked straight into the house. When he arrived at the map, Qiao Anbang frowned and stared at the map. At this time, the red arrows representing the Japanese army and the blue arrows representing the Tiger Army crossed the entire battlefield situation. The entire battlefield situation was clear at a glance on the map.

After pondering for a long time, Qiao Anbang murmured: "If you don't die, you will be harmed. Since the 6th Division takes the initiative to retreat, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Hu Ben Army. As long as the Third Division can take the opportunity to defeat the 6th Division and the 114th Division, it can threaten the flanks of the main force of the Japanese army in Central China!"

After making up his attention, Qiao Anbang suddenly raised his head and said, "Component, immediately call Li Jupeng and Wu Dingwen, ordering them to go out of the city to pursue immediately, and try to defeat them in one fell swoop when the Japanese army retreats. I will send the air force to support them in one fell swoop! In addition, we will send power to Commander Chu, asking him to speed up the marching speed, and, to generate power to the 3rd Division's first regiment, which will make Jiang Wei no longer guarding Liulin, hurry to Huaiyuan, meet with the main force of the Third Division, and pursue them together!"

"Yes!" The correspondent stood up and responded, saluted, and quickly turned around and left.

……………………………………………… After receiving Qiao Anbang’s order, Li Jupeng immediately ordered a pursuit. For a moment, thousands of soldiers from the Third Division in the city rushed out of the city with roars and chased them towards the direction of the Japanese retreat.

"General, China is chasing us in and out of the city!" Shimoo Kazuo, who had crossed the Huai River, hurriedly reported to the division leader Sesuko.

"Blow up the Huaihe Bridge immediately!" Tani Shoufu ordered coldly.

"But, there are still two brigades of soldiers in my division that have not retreated!" Shirō Ikawa said with embarrassment.

"Baga, why haven't you retreated yet? Hurry up and urge the troops to cross the river as soon as possible!" Tani Shouo shouted urgently.

"Hay!" Shirno Ichiho responded with a serious face, and then hurriedly stepped away. In a hurry, it was not that easy to withdraw nearly two thousand imperial troops, especially now, the Chinese team on the other side has begun to pursue.

……………………………… “Brothers, rush to o! The time for revenge is here. Chase and avenge the dead brothers!” Outside Huaiyuan County, Li Jupeng had already rushed out of the city with the direct guard battalion of the division headquarters, reconnaissance battalion and other direct troops, and was making the final mobilization for his subordinates.

"Catch o, kill o......!!!!" Thousands of Tiger Ben soldiers responded in unison, and the next moment they turned around and chased the Huai River with the moment when the tiger went down the mountain.

On the earthen road leading to the Huaihe Bridge in Huaiyuan County, nearly two thousand Japanese were scrambling to flee in a hurry. They were the rear troops left by Tanisuo, who were responsible for covering the retreat of the main force of the division.

Initially, retreating is a matter that hurts the morale of the troops, especially when they find that all their companions are evacuated, even the well-trained Japanese will be in a panic when they are pursued, because they are also in, and they don’t want to die if they are in.

The most important thing is that the geographical location in front of them is quite special. In front of them is the surging Huai River. If you cannot retreat to the other side as soon as possible, once your friendly troops blow up the Huai River Bridge, then their troops behind the palace will be trapped in the siege of the Central ** team.

Therefore, when the Hu Ben Army launched a full-scale pursuit, all the Japanese hated their parents for giving birth to two legs, and rushed to leave their feet and run away desperately.

Soon, the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers ran away and gradually evolved from retreating to retreat.

When the Japanese soldiers retreated to the north bank of the Huai River, all the incomings rushed to cross the river first, but because of the chaos of formation and the incomings, the crowding occurred.

At this critical moment, the crowding of the Japanese severely slowed down their speed of crossing the river. Before nearly two thousand Japanese passed halfway, the pursuit troops of the Third Division followed.

Shimoko Ichiho on the south bank was shocked to see this and quickly ordered the engineers to blew the bridge. However, at this moment, a large number of Chinese fighter jets with Qingyao White Sun Emblem suddenly appeared in the air.

After the planes arrived at the battlefield, they saw that the ground troops on the north bank had already fought with the Japanese, and decisively dived towards the Japanese army on the south bank.

The first ones were the Japanese engineers who were preparing to bomb the bridge. Dozens of fighter jets and dive bombers fired violently and dropped bombs. The Japanese engineers on the bridge were suddenly shot in groups and fell to the ground.

Shimoochi Ichiho saw that the bridge bombing could no longer be carried out, so he immediately fled south quickly with his guards.

After Shimo Yihuo retreated, the Japanese soldiers on the south bank also retreated one after another, leaving only more than a thousand Japanese on the bridgehead being bitten by the Hu Ben Army. After a fierce battle, the Third Division easily wiped out them out. Then, under the cover of the Air Force, Xiongjiu crossed the Huaihe Bridge with great enthusiasm and continued to pursue the south.

…………………………………………………………………………………… In Fengyang County, Gu Shoufu led the main force of the 6th Division to retreat to Fengyang County. At this time, the 114th Division had already arrived first and took over the defense of Fengyang County. Gu Shoufu's 6th Division had to garrison on the spot outside the city.

Outside the city, inside the temporary command post of the 6th Division.

Gu Shoufu was walking back and forth with one hand on his back, suddenly, a mess of footsteps sounded outside. Suddenly, Chief of Staff Shinoya Ichihuo hurried in. Before Gu Shoufu asked, he said with shame: "God, General, it's not good. Bei Yi has not stopped the Zhina Huben Army from crossing the river. Now they have crossed the Huai River and are chasing here."

"What? Why don't you destroy the bridge?" Tani Shouo was furious when he heard this and shouted in confusion.

"Our White-South Engineer Unit was bombed by the Chinese Air Force and low-altitude strafing, and suffered heavy losses and had no chance to blow up the bridge." Shinono Kazuho explained with his head down.

"Bagaya Road, inform the 114th Division immediately and prepare to block the attack!" Tanisuo roared in anger.

"Hayi!" Shinoya Kazuki responded with his head down, then turned around and left.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Looking at the familiar south bank position, Li Jupeng laughed loudly and excitedly: "Haha, I finally fought back to the south bank again! Haha! The commander will advance to Fengyang immediately!"

At the same time, on the northwest of Huaiyuan, Jiang Wei led a regiment of 3,000 officers and soldiers to march along the highway.

Since receiving Qiao Anbang's order, Jiang Wei quickly gathered his troops and drove towards Huaiyuan quickly.

Not far behind Jiang Wei's first regiment, Chu Jingming led the 1st regiment of the Fourth Division and the reconnaissance battalion to march towards Huaiyuan along the highway. He also received a telegram from Qiao Anbang.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei's troops and Chu Jingming's troops are equipped with military trucks, which are much faster than hiking.

About two hours later, Jiang Wei's registrar had crossed the Huai River and successfully joined the main force of the Third Division. At the same time, Chu Jingming also led his troops to Huaiyuan County.

Under Fengyang City, the Third Division encountered a powerful obstacle from the Japanese, and the two sides launched a fierce and desperate battle.

Fortunately, the Third Division had the strong air firepower support from the Air Force, and the addition of Jiang Wei's new force, the offensive became increasingly fierce.

When Chu Jingming also led his troops across the Huaihe River to meet with the Third Division, in order to prevent the retreat from being cut off, Tani Shoufu took the initiative to issue an order to retreat.

The Third Division and the Fourth Division took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit. From Fengyang to Mingguang, the Japanese army was chased by the Hu Ben Army for dozens of kilometers, killing countless casualties.

In the end, the third division of the Hu Ben Division and other units were exhausted due to exhaustion of ammunition, fuel and the soldiers' physical strength, and they were forced to terminate the pursuit.

Although they failed to completely wipe out the Sixth Division and other units, they caused heavy casualties. The 6th Division and the 114th Division were almost completely lost, and they completely lost their ability to attack.
