May in a blink of an eye.

In the Central Plains, war broke out again.

The Japanese invaders' attack became more and more fierce.

The crushing defeat of the Taierzhuang did not stop the Japanese invasion.

On the contrary, the Japanese invaders' base camp made up their minds to completely eliminate the main force of the national army on the battlefield of the Central Plains.

So, the Japanese invaders formed more divisions and then entered the Chinese battlefield.

By mid-May, the Japanese invaders concentrated more than 20 divisions in southern Xuzhou and north of the Yangtze River.

In the Songhu area, there are ten divisions as backups. At the same time, they launch a continuous and fierce attack on the third war zone.

In North China, the Japanese invaders also concentrated ten divisions and a large number of independent mixed brigades.

Later, the newly formed Japanese invaders basically did not have 105mm heavy artillery, but were equipped with 75mm mountain cannons.

Some independent mixed brigades even began to use the equipment of the former Northeast Army because they did not have enough standard weapons.

Fengtian Arsenal also operates at full capacity to produce various weapons and ammunition.

In fact, the weapons and equipment of the Northeast Army in the past were very good. There were also many 75mm mountain cannons.

Now, the Japanese invaders equipped all these weapons and armed at least a dozen independent mixed brigades, which immediately brought great pressure to the national army.

The commander of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army, Shinroku Hata, was transferred back to the country, and Nishio Suzuo took over it.

Nishio Suzuo and Sakachi Nakachi were wearing the same pair of pants.

As a result, there was no longer any conflict of cooperation among the Japanese invaders.

On the contrary, around Xuzhou, the large number of national troops concentrated has led to a lot of internal disputes.

“Specialist.”

“Specialist.”

Zhang Yong is in charge of Anqing.

This is the gateway of Jinling and Wuhan.

Bald heads cannot be missed.

The Japanese invaders gathered multiple divisions and attacked along both sides of the Yangtze River. They were all blocked by the national army.

The battle was once very intense.

Especially in Tongling, the Japanese navy Malu dispatched destroyers.

Because it was still in the three-month ban period, the Soviet advisory group did not allow the National Government Air Force to dispatch it. They could only rely on land artillery fire to counterattack.

The 127mm artillery of the Japanese Navy's Malu Destroyer had a long range and great power, causing great damage to the 145th Division of the National Army stationed in Tongling. Almost all positions were wiped out. Zhang Yong had to order the remnants of the 145th Division to withdraw from Tongling and retreat to the south bank of Anqing.

"Sure..."

Zhang Yong secretly resented.

This is a bug. I didn't think about it carefully before.

I just thought that the air ban period might be beneficial to the national army. Unexpectedly, Japanese warships would come to join in the fun.

If the plane is not dispatched, it will definitely not pose a threat to the Japanese warships.

I wanted to drive the plane several times, but I was rejected.

The Soviet advisory group had a firm attitude.

The bald man dares not disobey.

As a result, Japanese warships rage along the Yangtze River.

It was not until after approaching Anqing that he was ambushed by Zhang Yong's rockets several times before he calmed down.

Unfortunately, the destructive power of rockets to warships is indeed limited. They can only cause some damage and cannot sink.

The two sides are basically in a standoff.

The Japanese invaders approached Anqing, but they did not dare to launch a fierce attack.

Zhang Yong didn't dare to leave Anqing either, because once he left, he would definitely lose his mind.

If it were anyone else, they would not be able to defend Anqing.

The Japanese invaders continued to maintain pressure on Anqing and Luzhou, and at the same time launched a temporary attack in other directions.

The huge difference in comprehensive national strength is fully demonstrated at this moment.

The initiative in the war is completely in the hands of the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders attack wherever they want.

Attack whenever you want.

Attack as you want.

well……

On May 17, Fuyang fell.

After two months of persistence, Zhuge still couldn't hold on.

There is no way, the Japanese invaders invested too many troops. The main force of the Guangxi clique was severely damaged, but he could not get assistance.

This involves internal disputes between the direct descendants and the Guangxi clan. The bald man intentionally or unintentionally wanted to weaken the strength of the Guangxi clan.

On May 19, Suxian fell.

In the direction of Suxian, the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army also suffered significant losses.

They fought for more than a month, and they also suffered heavy casualties. They were also suspected of being killed by a bald man with a knife.

After a brief victory, the bald head's bad nature was revealed again.

Conflicts between the Gui Army, the Yunnan Army and the Huangpu Army gradually broke out.

"Sure enough, we can only share the joys and sorrows, not the wealth and honor!"

Zhang Yong sighed helplessly silently.

When there are many crises, the bald head may be able to restrain himself a little.

Once you win or feel that you have an advantage, you immediately start secretly dealing with local factions.

After the Japanese invaders captured Suxian, they immediately divided their troops and continued their attacks.

The Kuomintang army blocked and retreated step by step.

In the end, the national army on the southern front retreated.

Pang Bingxun, who had just received the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, quietly returned to North China with his confidant troops.

Obviously, this is a silent protest. I am dissatisfied with the treatment I have suffered.

On May 21, the Japanese invaders attacked the Longhai Railway.

Several railway bridges were blown up and the Longhai Railway was cut off.

At this point, there is nothing left to do on the battlefield in Xuzhou.

On May 22, the commander ordered the abandonment of Tai'an and retreating across the board.

The national army fought and retreated.

He was in hard battles in many places.

Zhang Yong is still in charge in Anqing.

Here, the Japanese invaders are also eyeing each other and aggressively.

Once Zhang Yong leaves, the Japanese invaders will march straight into, directly threatening the security of Hankou.

Finally, in early June, the Japanese invaders approached Xuzhou.

The Kuomintang abandoned Xuzhou.

The 60th Army of the Yunnan Army was in charge of the rear of the palace, with heavy casualties.

At the same time, on the southern front, the Japanese invaders launched an assault on the Third War Zone of the National Army.

The Japanese invaders continued to break out along the lines of Tonglu, Quzhou, Shangrao and Yingtan, with a fierce offensive.

The situation is in crisis...

Too much trouble...

In Anqing, Zhang Yong deeply felt what it means to be alone.

In such a national war, a person's power is really limited.

A person cannot turn the tide.

Even if there is a system, it is difficult to do it.
To be continued...
