Early morning, Linhuai Pass.
rumble ~
More than 100 tanks and armored vehicles appeared outside the city wall. The Japanese followed closely behind the tanks. There were no less than 50,000 of them, but they stopped when they were one kilometer away from the city wall.
Three kilometers away, countless cannons were being set up, and the infantrymen were waiting for the artillery to cover them before launching an attack.
Buzz ~
In the sky, 150 Nakajima Type 91 Fighters and Type 3 Fighters, as well as 30 Type 93 Heavy Bombers, formed a formation and appeared in their field of vision.
Whoosh! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless bombs were thrown on the city wall, and a large number of bombs were also dropped on the barracks behind. The explosions turned Linhuai Pass into a sea of fire.
Whoosh! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately after, another round of artillery shells plowed through the ruins. At this time, Linhuai Pass was completely reduced to ruins.
On a mountain.
Asakamiya Miyabi was riding a white horse and observing through binoculars. When he saw the shattered Linhuai Pass, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Yuxi, attack from all sides and destroy the 51st Chinese Army!”
"Hey!"
However, at this moment, a lieutenant rode over on a horse and quickly dismounted to report.
"Your Highness, the air force said that there are no Chinese soldiers in Linhuai Pass and that the people on the city wall are scarecrows.”
What?
Hashiko Asakamiya raised his hand to signal Kigo Nakajima and the others to stop moving. He rubbed his chin and pondered for a few minutes before suddenly having a flash of inspiration.
Did Chang Kaishen also want Qin Tian to die, so he withdrew the 51st Division from Linhuai Pass?
It was very possible!
"Attack. The 6th, 16th, and 114th Divisions will take the left flank. The 3rd, 18th, and Zhongteng Divisions will take the right flank. The Tank Squadron and the Heavy Artillery Squadron will take the front.”
"Hey!"
Yunqing Mountain, 40 kilometers away from Linhuai Pass.
More than 30,000 people from the 51st division had evacuated here last night. Yu Xuezhong turned around and looked in the direction of Linhuai Pass. The strong sense of guilt in his heart almost made him collapse.
"General, are we really leaving just like this?”
Mou Zhongyan, the commander of the 114th Division, was disappointed. They had escaped, and Qin Tian, who had been abandoned, had to face hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers with 80,000 new soldiers.
Even if he abandoned Linhuai Pass, he should have told them. Wasn't this cheating?
"I…"
Yu Xuezhong didn't know how to answer when questioned by his subordinates. The secret order he received was to abandon Linhuai Pass and not tell Qin Tian about this order.
Having been in the military for decades, how could he be a fool? He naturally knew that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were clearly trying to harm Qin Tian. As for who gave the order, it was very clear.
Other than Wu Han, who else would dare?
"I don't want to leave either, but military orders are like mountains!”
Mou Zhongyan continued to ask,""Is it General Li Zongren's order or the chairman's order?”
"What do you think?"
Hu ~
Mou Zhongyan instantly understood. After a long sigh, he sat on a rock by the roadside dispiritedly.
"Are we going to kill Qin Tian at Linhuai Pass like this?”
"He's a hero. He shouldn't die in a power struggle.”
"The higher-ups have orders that we have to obey, but this order makes us sinners of our nation. If Qin Tian dies, we will be sinners like Qin Hui who will be condemned by thousands of people.”
"General! We…"
How could Yu Xuezhong not know the consequences? He shook his head with tears streaming down his face.
" It's too late. The Japanese surrounded Linhuai Pass and launched an attack an hour ago. Qin Tian, who was kept in the dark, shouldn't have had time to react. The Japanese Annihilation Army is about to become history..."
Bang!
Mou Zhongyan, Li Zhentang, Dong Yingbin, Xiong Zhengping, and the others all stood up indignantly and shouted,""We have to go back. Even if we have to collect his body, we have to snatch General Qin's body. He can't be humiliated by the Japanese.”
"What do you want?"
Yu Xuezhong pointed in the direction of Linhuai Pass." If we go back now, we will be walking into a trap. We only have 30,000 people, and the Japanese have at least 100,000. How are we going to fight them?”
"But…"
"No buts. Soldiers should obey orders and return to Fengyang!”
……
Li Jiashan, the battle was about to start.
After the Japanese surrounded the area, the Japanese Army became a lone army. Everyone was stunned. Why did the 51st Army run away without firing a shot?
Currently, 80,000 people were gathered in a mountainous area that was about 20 kilometers long and 17 to 18 kilometers wide.
The outside was a flat wasteland, and only the mountains and forests could hide people.
"Hahahaha, Chang Kaishen, ah, Chang Kaishen, if I, Qin Tian, survive this disaster, I will definitely repay you tenfold!”
On the mountainside, Qin Tian was so angry that his face was red. If it wasn't for the scouts who rushed back to report that they had enough time to retreat to the mountain, the anti-Japanese army might have been crushed to death by the devils on the wasteland.
When the devils suddenly attacked, did you expect the recruits to counterattack quickly?
However, this terrain was not suitable for defense because the mountain was too short. It was not so much a mountain as a hill.
Fortunately, the forest was covered with towering trees.
"Commander-in-chief, the Japanese are about to attack. You should quickly return to the cave.”
"Bullshit, are you teaching me how to do things?”
Qin Tian scolded Li Tianyuan and then looked coldly at the ghost at the foot of the mountain.
"Pass on my orders, everyone prepare for battle. Have Cai Biao remove the Japanese artillery, and quickly disguise the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns.”
"Yes, sir!"
