With the strong firepower support of the Air Force, the 16th Division of the Japanese army launched a crazy attack on the Chuzhou area.

The shells and aviation bombs were pouring into the defenders' positions like stones that were not worthy of money.

General Hu Shoushan's 1st Army was eventually too severe for casualties. After two days and two nights of bloody battles, it had to shrink its defense line and give up some of its peripheral positions.

Seeing that victory was about to come, the old Japanese devil, Nakajima Atsugo, was immediately overjoyed and decisively ordered a pursuit.

But I didn't know that this was General Hu Shoushan's plan to show his enemy.

Just as several infantry regiments of the 16th Division were ordered to attack, they were about to be able to reach the city and surround Chuzhou City.

About two armies of Chinese reinforcements suddenly flew from the east and west wings of Chuzhou and attacked the left and right wings of the attacking troops of the 16th Division.

Among them, General Hu Shoushan's 1st Army also took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack from the front.

The attacking troops of the 16th Division of the Japanese army never expected that the reinforcements of the defenders had arrived and were attacked from three sides. In addition, the air force fighter jets were exhausted at that time and just returned because they were exhausted of ammunition.

He was caught off guard by the sudden counterattack of the Chinese defenders.

At that time, there were constant gunfire and the shouts of killing were shocking.

Chinese soldiers flocking in like waves from all directions.

The attacking troops of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army had unknown how many reinforcements had arrived. When the army was shaken, they were soon defeated by the defenders in person and fled in a panic.

After leaving behind thousands of corpses, not only did they lose the outer positions of the defenders they had just occupied, but they were also chased by Hu Shoushan's 1st Army and the reinforcements of the 31st Army and the 51st Army to their attack positions.

If it weren't for the 22nd Regiment of the field artillery under the Japanese 16th Division, the 22nd Regiment, fired in time, causing considerable casualties to the pursued Chinese army, effectively blocking their attack.

Maybe the 16th Division will become a joke again!

"Baga, the road! Damn, a bunch of useless food! The empire's face has been thrown away by you!"

The 30th Infantry Brigade, which was angry and humiliated, Nakajima Imao led the team to attack. The brigade commander Sasaki summoned the division headquarters and spitted everywhere, scolding him fiercely.

"Give up the anger, Commander of the Division!" Chief of Staff Mito Nakazawa must be persuaded by the side, otherwise Sasaki will not be able to wash his face with the saliva of Nakajima Atsugo.

Nakajima Ashigo turned his head and looked at Nakazawa Sanfu, and was furious and said, "Chief of Staff! Stop the anger, how do you calm me down? The 13th Division of the Imperial Army took Yangzhou early, and now the troops have advanced to Tianchang and Gaodi area.

But my 16th Division attacked for several days, but I couldn't even take down a small one from Chuzhou.

Not only that, he even suffered a defeat.

Do you know that if this continues, my 16th Division will become a joke and will no longer be able to raise my head in front of my military and imperial colleagues!"

"Sir, the reason why the 13th Division was able to easily capture Yangzhou is just because Yangzhou is an empty city!" Nakazawa Mifu continued to explain: "Besides, the reason why the imperial army was defeated this time was mainly due to intelligence errors. I didn't know that reinforcements from the Chinese army came and was caught off guard.

In addition, the Imperial Air Force just returned, so the cunning Chinese army took advantage of a loophole.

Now we are ready. When the Imperial Air Force comes over Chuzhou again, it will be the death of these stubborn Chinese enemies!"

Nakajima Imago turned his head to look at Sasaki Akichi with his head hanging down, and said coldly: "Sasaki Jun, I will give you another chance! This time, you must win in one battle and capture Chuzhou City!

Use the blood and life of the Chinese army in the city to comfort the heroes of the imperial army that have already died!

Don't let me down again!

Otherwise, you, the brigade commander, should not be your brigade leader!"

"Hayi!"

Sasaki paused his head heavily, then turned to the chief of staff, Mio Nakazawa, who was standing aside, and gave a grateful look.
