The command center moved, and the Japanese scattered in the city had no heads and fell into chaos, and there seemed to be enemies everywhere, with gunfire and explosions one after another.

Once the Japanese were alone, they found that they were trapped in a battlefield where enemies were everywhere. Next to the walls, behind trees, and at the entrance of the alley, the door suddenly opened... from time to time, they cut out kitchen knives, shovels, or wooden sticks, and stabbed them with pitchforks. They often were knocked down by various weapons that attacked in the dark before they understood what was going on.

The fire started to burn, and it was everywhere. It was hard to tell whether it was burned by the Japanese or ignited during the battle. Fires flashed everywhere in the entire Huaiyang City, splashing flesh and blood. There were people shouting, fighting and fighting in every street and alley.

…………………

At around 11 o'clock at night, sporadic battles in the city continued, and some remaining Japanese soldiers were still resisting, but they had no impact on the overall situation.

The residents of the city had already heard the sound of gunfire and shouting in the middle of the night, and now someone finally shouted loudly.

Although the Third Column had a discipline that did not disturb the people, Yang Tianfeng and his officers were not rigid. After running and fighting in the middle of the night, the soldiers urgently needed hot soup and rice to supplement them. Under the order of the soldiers, every household began to make fires and cook, and the wounded also found a place to be placed and received emergency treatment from medical staff.

At twelve to twenty at night, after continuous violent explosions, the gunshots in the city finally subsided. The last stubborn Japanese commander of the Japanese captain was killed and injured in the collapsed building and were all wiped out by our army's subsequent charge.

The killing and damage of tunnel blasts, coupled with the last explosive pack, war defense cannons, and flying thunder cannons, the casualties of the restoration of Huaiyang City were finally barely equal to the Japanese army. The one-to-one battle damage was equivalent to a miracle in the tough battle at that time.

The battle ended, and the bloody battle in history, Huaiyang was finally completed with another process and result. The First Cavalry Division, the 14th Cavalry Brigade, the Third Column, and more than 20,000 troops, after several battles, annihilated nearly 5,000 enemies, revived the main town of Huaiyang, and the situation in eastern Henan was turned upside down.

The situation changed drastically, and people's hearts were also excited. People who were bullied and oppressed by the Japanese, and even killed, dared to take a blow when they saw hope and when they were about to lose.

Wang Liming, Wu Yiwen, Fan Zhang, and the three of them were still breathing after a fierce fight. At this time, there was a Japanese man covered in blood lying in the yard.

This is the Japanese who often stand guard at the street entrance. The bayonets are always on the gun, shining with a white and cold light, and their wide and heavy feet are struggling with "our ground" as if they are pressing against everyone's hearts.

Usually when they walked across the street, Wang Liming and others wanted to beat the arrogant Japanese devils, but not only did they not beat him, they avoided him! Every time they hated that they had no mind, no ambition, no humanity! Now, the Japanese devils were killed by them, and even if they were chopped off their heads for this, they would be happy.

"We--" Wang Liming looked at his companions and said nothing.

"Go and join the army." Fan Zhang answered without thinking, then looked at Wu Yiwen and laughed happily.

…………………

After Huaiyang, wedges were invaded between two important towns in Shangqiu and Kaifeng, and the Japanese army's mobile forces were completely lost. Now it is time to expand the results of the war.

Although the Third Column and the First Cavalry Division fought continuously, the battle losses were significant and the officers and soldiers were also very tired, if the new force joined, they could continue to carry out military operations.

He Cuizhi's 81st Division did not play a sluggish role in the Kaifeng Japanese army because of his hesitation. He fought in Huaiyang with an unprecedented victory, but there was no such thing as the Third Army, which made Sun Tongxuan feel lost. Although he supported some artillery, and in name, the First Cavalry Division, the 14th Cavalry Brigade, and the Third Column were all troops under his command, the major victory in the battle report did not have the main force of the Third Army participating in the battle.

After severely reprimanding He Cuizhi, Sun Tongxuan sent a telephone number to inquire about the next stage of combat operations, revealing her intention to take advantage of the victory and attack Kaifeng again.

Yang Tianfeng had thought about whether to march into Kaifeng by victory, but he felt that he was a little too hasty. After Huaiyang was in trouble, he believed that Shangqiu should be oppressed, expanding the territory, stabilizing the foundation of Hedong, and winning a large number of seizures. Yang Tianfeng, the "Transportation Team Leader", was optimistic about the traitor Zhang Lanfeng.

Zhang Lanfeng recruited bandits and refugees in Xiayi, Shangqiu, Ningling, Sui County and his hometown Zhecheng along Longhai Road. He had already pieced together 16,700 people and was organized by the Japanese army into the "Henan East Suppression ******" with four armies under his jurisdiction. Later, in order to meet the needs of invasion of China, the Japanese army renamed Zhang Lanfeng's "Henan East Suppression ******" to "The First Army of the Peaceful National Salvation Army", and also allocated a large number of weapons, ammunition and trucks, and Zhang Lanfeng's power was further expanded.

There were 16,700 people, and they seemed to have strong military strength, but Yang Tianfeng didn't see it. Bandits, scoundrels, gangsters, and refugees who made money, how strong can they have with weapons? In the previous battle of Hao County and Luyi, the two regiments of the Third Column and Zhang Lanfeng had fought against each other. Yang Tianfeng knew how much they were.

Therefore, he discussed with Ma Biao and Liu Chen, reported the combat plan to Sun Tongxuan, and decided to use the 81st Division as the main force to continue to take advantage of the victory and attack, with the targets being Taikang County and Zhecheng.

Sun Tongxuan quickly replied, agreeing to the combat plan, and informed Zhou Zunshi's 20th Division would soon cross the Yellow River and assemble to Huaiyang. The telegram also included the order of the War Zone Command to liberation Huaiyang and annihilate the Japanese army, as well as to increase troops from Hedong, expand the war to achieve greater results.

It can be said that this great victory in Huaiyang encouraged and boosted the morale of the national army on the Yellow River defense line and formed a favorable situation for combat. If the defense is turned into offense on the Yellow River defense line and occupy a solid foundation in Hedong, a large number of defenders on the Yellow River defense line can free up their hands and feet and directly affect the Japanese army in northern Henan and even Shanxi, thus making the First War Zone take the initiative strategically.

A battalion was drawn from the Chen Detachment, Tong Detachment, and the fourth detachment. Yang Tianfeng made up for the damage to the Guo Detachment and Jiang Detachment, and left the 14th Cavalry Brigade to station in Huaiyang. The main force that besieged Taikang and Zhecheng would be the two brigades of He Cuizhi's 81st Division, and the First Cavalry Division sent a brigade to serve as mobile support. The Third Column would assist the Guo Detachment and some engineers and artillery.
