After the baptism of the Songhu Battle, the number of veterans in the southern part of Hu Zong increased, and their combat effectiveness increased instead of falling. By the time of the Lanfeng Battle, the Hu tribe went to the battlefield again. Although it did not achieve the goal of wiping out the Dofeiyuan Division, it fought better.

After the battle, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Hu troops to withdraw to Nanyang for rest and replenishment. This time, Chiang Kai-shek confidently and boldly gave him the task of defending Luoshan and Xinyang.

This time, Hu Zongnan behaved differently from what he had done in history. He learned the lesson from the annihilation of the First Division by Liu Yimin. While holding on to the defense line, he concentrated some of his main forces to attack the ambush of the Japs. At the same time, he also sent many small troops to take the initiative to attack the Japs.

.

The method of warfare has changed, and naturally the casualties of the troops have been smaller, and the results of the battle have been greater. In Zhugan Town, which is the only way from Huangchuan to Luoshan, Hu Zong fought a beautiful ambush in the south, and the little devils attacked Luoshan.

More than 1,000 of the vanguard troops on the mountain were put into pockets. Although the Japanese army responded quickly and finally broke out, they still left more than 700 corpses. Next, Dong Zhao's 28th Division, Sichuan

Wang Shijun's 125th Division of the 22nd Group Army and part of Zeng Suyuan's 124th Division deployed defenses along the Zhugan River in Zhugan Town. They held their positions for seven consecutive days under the Japanese attack and remained unmoved, inflicting great damage to the Japs. Especially

The 125th Division and part of the 124th Division of the Sichuan Army were bombarded by Japanese aircraft and artillery fire. They fought to the death and suffered heavy casualties. It was not until the Japanese troops broke through that the defenders retreated.

But something happened next. Zeng Suyuan, commander of the 124th Division, was stationed in Luoshan County. When the Japanese army came, Zeng Suyuan was afraid of being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy, so he abandoned the city and left. The Japanese army successfully occupied Luoshan City and took advantage of the victory to penetrate deep into Luoshan and Luoshan.

The Wuli Store in Xinyang threatens Xinyang.

In fact, the reason why Zeng Suyuan abandoned the city was the same as Yang Sen's abandonment of Anqing. The reasons were very complicated, mainly due to the central government's policy of dividing and using the Sichuan army. In other words, Chiang Kai-shek's policy of excluding local factions chilled the Sichuan army generals.

The situation was critical. Hu Zongnan did not dare to delay. On the one hand, he commanded two divisions of the First Army and Dong Zhao's 28th Division and other units. With the support of artillery and armored units, Hu Zongnan established frontal defenses between Luoshan and Xinyang to block and counterattack.

The Japanese and Sichuan Army's 124th Division and 125th Division spread out on the left and right wings of the First Army. The battle was extremely fierce and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The sky is clear and the wind is clear. October in southern Henan is indeed beautiful. Unfortunately, the little devils are like a group of cockroaches. They splashed a ball of yellow paint on this beautiful scenery and ruined it.

.

Dong Zhao held up his binoculars in the division headquarters shelter and carefully observed the battlefield movements. Not bad, the Japs' planes did not come to cause trouble today, but the Japs' artillery was wreaking havoc, and the poison gas was released in the direction of the wind, making it difficult for the defenders to defend themselves.

The Japs began to attack again. This time the Japs used heavy artillery. When a shell came down, there was a hole about ten meters in size. As long as you stayed close to the side, you would be killed by the explosion or the shock.

Dong Zhao's eyes were green with anger, and he kept cursing the damn little devil. If I had a plane, I would blow up your stupid heavy artillery first.
