However, it is strange that after the Japanese Hata Detachment took over Daguan Town, it did not immediately head towards Anqing, but instead stationed on the spot.

It seemed as if they were just making fun of Daguan Town, and yes, they were just playing tricks.

On the contrary, the surrounding area of ​​Hefei has become a pot of porridge.

Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, the newly appointed 6th Division's regiment commander, the outpost troops of the 6th Division launched a very fierce attack under the cover of its powerful firepower.

The progress of the Sixth Division can be described as "speed of progress". They are advancing all the way on this land on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The Sixth Division was originally the trump card in the Japanese standing division, and its combat effectiveness belonged to the leader of the Japanese army. For troops descended from the five-provincial coalition forces like Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army, who were definitely not considered elite national army, they were no opponents at all!

The fierce Japanese army relied on its powerful firepower to launch a very fierce attack on the national army camp. Although the troops stationed in Hefei had a division, there were only 10,000 people in the end. It was impossible not to panic in the face of the 30,000 enemy troops.

Indeed, according to the battle sequence, Xu Yuanquan's troops were indeed the battle sequence of the Central Army, but they were also forgotten. In terms of basic terms, they were the side-line troops of the Central Army.

Yes, it’s the side-line, and even Huangpu students are not the kind that is given priority.

For the Central Army, the original teaching corps, the 36th Division, the 87th Division, the 88th Division, the 11th Division, the 14th Division, and the 98th Division are the well-established Central Army's direct lineages.

These troops, even the company commanders and platoon leaders, all graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.

For example, like the 26th Army, it would be nice to have a regiment commander or above who could be a direct member of Huangpu.

Of course, this cannot be just thrown on Lao Jiang, it also has something to do with their own faction's position - no independent faction chief wants his troops to be brought in by people from other troops to mix sand.

Yes, to a certain extent, these Huangpu officers are sand!

The officer who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy (i.e., the Central Military Academy) was from the Whampoa Division of the Central Army and was the direct line of Chairman Jiang!

Generals like Xu Yuanquan who are on the edge of the Central Army are originally not favored and valued by Chairman Chiang. If even the middle-level officers and grassroots officers and soldiers under his command are the spies led by Chairman Chiang Chang'an, then it would be of no interest to him as the commander-in-chief in front of him.

Of course, if middle-level officers and grassroots officers and soldiers were both Huangpu Group, it would be his turn to be the commander-in-chief - it must be the middle-level officer of the Central Army.

These candidates may be Xue Yue, or Hu Zongnan and others will be promoted, but it is definitely not his turn to Xu Yuanquan.

The current 26th Army is still in the state where Xu Yuanquan can fully command it.

However, there is also a disadvantage in this, that is, the troops are not strong in combat effectiveness. In addition to the weapon factor, there are reasons why the officers' quality cannot keep up.

In addition to the two forces of the troops of the Sixth Division, which have been sent to attack Huaining and Tongyang, there are still 20,000 troops attacking Hefei!

...

On this day, the sky was covered in gray and there was a sultry heat everywhere.

The weather conditions are like Lao Ba hesitating when he squatted in the toilet, thinking about it but not wanting it.

Of course, here we refer to rain, not Oli.

As the supreme commander of a division, Shiro Inaba had already appeared on the front line battlefield as soon as the battle began.

The roar of cannons rumbled, and a round of shells cut through the sky, and then hit the ancient city wall of Hefei hard, and the mountains suddenly swayed.

Shiro Inaba's face was as deep as water, standing motionless in the open space next to the outpost command center. The blade was as sharp as a ray of light. His eyes were like the bitter north wind, full of bleakness and murderous aura!

"Zhuo Jingjun, Hefei is about to be captured. We should prepare and then start tomorrow's celebration banquet." Inaba Shiro's old face, which was like a zombie, finally showed a smile, and against the backdrop of the brushed beards under his nose, it looked particularly ferocious.

"Yoxi, under the leadership of the Inaba Division, our 6th Division will definitely win the championship!" Major General Tokutaro Tokui, the brigade commander of the 11th Brigade, flattered him.

Unlike Shiro Inaba who has already known his destiny, Major General Tokutaro is still a middle-aged officer, and he is only in his early forties. For him, this war of aggression against China is the ladder for his promotion!

If there was no such war, Tokutaro I would have to be at peace and quiet, to survive in the army, to a certain age, and to achieve a little more results before he can improve.

But it's different now. Tokutaro I have to seize this war to achieve the position he wants to be promoted!

"The 11th Brigade must take Hefei today! If he can take Hefei, I will give you my first contribution to the base camp!" Inaba Shiro said in a deep voice. For him, as long as the Sixth Division can fight and win, the people in the base camp will naturally think of how to promote him and appoint him!

"Hay!! Thanks to the division commander for his kindness, Hu Yi will definitely be able to conquer Hefei in the shortest time!" Major General Tokutaro I promised very seriously, and he almost slapped his chest.

Sure enough, after hearing the division commander's words, Major General Tokutaro Tsushii immediately organized the officers and soldiers of the 11th Brigade to launch a more powerful attack - even taking the orders of death!

Looking at what is going on in the city?

The lens turns into the city.

Rows of soldiers wearing iron blue military uniforms were hiding behind the city walls, and some of them didn't even dare to raise their heads - the gunshots of these Japanese soldiers were really accurate, and they were indeed completely suppressed by the Japanese firepower.

"Why don't you continue fighting? Are you waiting for them to enter Hefei?!" The battalion commander stepped forward to supervise the battle.

"If the sir continues to fight like this, the brothers will all die! These little Japanese gun thieves are accurate, and they are not life-threatening when they fight. Their firepower is strong. It is probably not a big deal if we continue to fight like this..." A company commander was persuading his sir.

"Preserve first, I can't hold on anymore!" A trace of uncertainty flashed in the battalion commander's eyes.

They are not the direct lineage of the Central Army, and the enemies they face are driven from Nanjing. They can be said to be the elite among the Japanese army.

The performance of the Japanese army in the central China battlefield is visible. These equipment is not considered good in the national army and it seems that they are not so willing to defend.

Indeed, Xu Yuanquan planned to defend himself by relying on the Hefei city walls. After all, if he retreated without fighting, he would be shot!

But is it really easy to keep Hefei? It may not be.

In the evening that day, under the fierce attack of the beast unit of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, in the evening, the Hefei city wall collapsed, and countless Japanese soldiers with high morale and exclaimed and screamed in excitement and strangely, rushed into the Hefei city.

On this day, Hefei fell.

That night, it rained so hard!
