The 20th Division of the National Defense Army entered Luoyang City with the feet of the 1st Division, and the strength of the Chinese Defense Force in the entire Luoyang City reached more than 50,000 people. The Beiyang Army in the city has suffered heavy losses, and the total strength has dropped to about 40,000. If the city wall is not blown up by the Wehrmacht, with the thickness of the Luoyang City Wall, the soldiers of the Fifth Town can still resist the attack of the Wehrmacht in a short period of time, and can also meet the operational requirements of Wu Peifu, dampen the attack spirit of the Wehrmacht, and prepare for the next plan. However, the Wehrmacht used a new type of high explosives and blew up the city walls in a very short time, making the Beiyang Army's reliance come to naught, and now it has been killed into the city by the superior forces of the Wehrmacht. The Beiyang Army was defeated and retreated, suffering heavy casualties.

Just when the Beiyang Army gradually became irresistible, an astonishing number of Beiyang Army soldiers entered the city. For a time, Luoyang City was full of soldiers of the Beiyang Army.

"Damn, how can the enemy kill more and more? Could it be that all of Wu Peifu's troops are gathered here? The Wehrmacht officer shouted in a low voice. The strange changes in the battlefield situation were transmitted back to the command headquarters as soon as possible.

"Commander, does Wu Peifu want to fight us in Luoyang City?" Qian Yansheng said. There was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

"It's still unclear, Wu Peifu has always been cautious in his use of troops, and we have an advantage in troops, so he may not be able to make this determination. Ordered all the forces of the Eighth Army to enter the city of Luoyang and strengthen the strength of our army. Hu Jingyi said in a deep voice. He has always told himself to be calm, and as a military commander, no matter what the situation, he must keep his mind extremely clear, because every decision he makes is related to the life and death of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Young Marshal Feng valued him and let him lead hundreds of thousands of troops with a surrendered general, Hu Jingyi felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy. Therefore, he still maintained enough caution and caution despite the exceptionally smooth operation. Although he had more than 200,000 troops behind him, these soldiers were used as local garrisons. Both its weaponry and training level are far from those of the regular army. In the Wehrmacht, there is a rule that one cannot go to war after three months of training. Although the situation was special this time, Feng Yong still sent a telegram to the armies from all walks of life, trying to avoid letting new recruits go to the battlefield, they were the hope of the national defense army. Of course, it is still possible to have the certainty of victory, and let the recruits experience what it is like to be on the battlefield. What's more, the purpose of the First Group Army's operation was to use the strength of the group army headquarters to attract and contain Wu Peifu's army, so that it could not take care of the other armies of the Wehrmacht. This will allow the Wehrmacht to drive straight into the heart of the North Ocean and disintegrate it from within.

It is precisely because of this that the 200,000 newly formed troops behind him are currently just a cover, a cover to confuse Wu Peifu. so that he would think that the First Army also had the task of fighting southward. Therefore, as soon as the other road defense forces opened up the situation in the Beiyang, these soldiers would go south to assist the field troops in holding the place. Therefore, Hu Jingyi also tried his best to avoid mixing these recruit troops.

"Commander, Wu Peifu has 200,000 troops in his hands, if he is desperate to fight a decisive battle in Luoyang City, I am afraid it will be difficult to move just by relying on the Eighth Army and the First Division." After all, everyone understands the truth that ants bite elephants to death.

"I know this, but Wu Peifu's main army is nowhere to be seen, and we must keep a trump card in our hands. The remaining strength of the First Army is the trump card in our hands. It will not be used in idle situations. Hu Jingyi said in a deep voice. ..., "Commander, is it to send a part of the recruits into the battlefield?" We are fighting to the death on the front line, and we can't let the 200,000 new army watch the excitement, right? Zhou Bo said. Although the 200,000-strong army is nominally subordinate to the First Group Army of the National Defense Forces, it has an independent command system, and its head is none other than Zhou Bo. After all, according to the plan, the recruit troops will not go to the battlefield, so it makes sense for the political chief to lead the team. In addition, Zhou Bo has been fighting in the south and north with Qian Yansheng in the past two years, and he also has a very good war literacy, so that when he encounters emergencies, he will not be completely without resistance.

"Not now, there is an opportunity for recruit training. There is no rush for this time. Our opponent is Wu Peifu, and we must not relax in the slightest until the war is over. Hu Jingyi shook his head. In this dark night, sending a new army into battle, if the recruits can overcome the fear of war and the night, it is definitely an effective way to exercise. But all of this is premised on the fact that the Wehrmacht has the absolute upper hand in this battle and will eventually win. Although the recruits of the Wehrmacht are reservists recruited from various places, unlike the Defence Forces, the reservists have a short training period and lack of weapons and equipment. In this case, if such a force is put on the battlefield, once the situation changes, it will definitely become the link that is most likely to collapse. In this thick night, who knows who is the new soldier and who is the veteran. The collapse of a recruit unit would have a fatal impact on the veterans, and if the enemy generals seized the opportunity, the Wehrmacht could face a major rout.

Zhou Bo nodded and said no more. He is also very jealous of Wu Peifu's name, this jade handsome, who is very famous in Beiyang, does have the strength to be feared.

As the minutes passed, the night became more and more intense. A bright moon made the entire ancient city of Luoyang clothed in silver, as if it completely covered all the trauma caused by the war. It's a pity that the fierce gunshots, shouts of killing, and miserable howls in Luoyang City ruined the atmosphere of the moonlight Weimei.

In Luoyang City, the street fighting between the two sides became more and more intense, and after the Beiyang troops increased greatly, the offensive of the First Division of the Wehrmacht was suppressed for a moment, and then after the Eighth Army of the Wehrmacht joined in, Beiyang's counterattack was so weak. The previously stalled front was once again moved forward by the great increase in the strength of the Wehrmacht.

The North Sea has an advantage in terrain, but the Wehrmacht also has an advantage in firepower. Whenever the Beiyang Army ambushed the Wehrmacht in the fortifications and houses prepared in advance, there were always Wehrmacht light and heavy machine gun mortars coming to the door and blowing up the ambushed people along with the fortifications and houses. It can be said that the advance of the Wehrmacht is often accompanied by complete destruction.

Although the front-line fighting was fierce and brutal, the information on the battlefield continued to flow into the headquarters of the Wehrmacht Army Group.

"That's not right!" Hu Jingyi suddenly spoke.

"Commander, what's wrong?" Qian Yansheng said.

"You look at the intelligence on the front line, the soldiers of the Beiyang Army actually collapsed at the touch of a button and surrendered on their knees, which is different from the previous situation. In the previous war, although the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army was not strong, at least there would not be this kind of cowardice before the battle and surrender on the ground, and it was not two cases together. This shows that the enemy we face is not the elite, but the new army of Beiyang. Hu Jingyi's face became ugly.

"Recruit eggs? Wu Peifu: Is he stupid? At this time, he actually sent a recruit to the battlefield, was he kicked in the head by a donkey? Qian Yansheng said in surprise. Although his words were rude, he himself attached great importance to personal information.

"From the beginning of the war to the present, Beiyang's performance is really average, and the elite of Wu Peifu, known as the Tiger Guard, has never been seen, where are they?" Hu Jingyi said with a frown. ..., "Commander, will Wu Peifu withdraw the elite from Luoyang City in order to preserve his strength?" I have heard that many generals in Beiyang will first choose to preserve their lineage strength when facing a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat. Let those collateral forces go to their deaths. Or the strength of other departments will be used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's strength, and when the enemy is almost consumed by the strength of other departments, they will send their own descendants to snatch the fruits of victory. Is Wu Peifu just playing this hand? Zhou Bo said.

"This ......" Hu Jingyi frowned, he really couldn't take Wu Peifu's actions.

"Order the reconnaissance battalion to expand the reconnaissance area and double the range of the alert around the garrison." Hu Jingyi suddenly thought of something and said loudly.

"Garrison? Commander, you say that it is possible for the enemy to attack our garrison? ”

"Possibly. If Wu Peifu comes down the Yellow River, it is entirely possible to copy our back road. Hu Jingyi said.

Hu Jingyi's caution did not work, and the sky gradually dawned. The garrison was also not attacked from any direction. On the contrary, the entire garrison was panicked because of the order of the headquarters of the group army.

After a night of attacking, the Wehrmacht finally brought most of Luoyang City under its command while paying heavy casualties. Lu Qian, commander of the 1st Division of the Wehrmacht, had already telegraphed the main force of the Wehrmacht to enter the city. But was rejected by the cautious Hu Jingyi. He didn't believe that Wu Peifu was willing to lose Luoyang City like this.

When the first light appeared in the east, the Beiyang Army, which had been beaten in a precarious position, suddenly took the lead in attacking the Wehrmacht like a chicken blood. A unit that Hu Jingyi had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared on the battlefield. Light and heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery, and field artillery were all in battle. The superior firepower, which was stronger than the 1st Division of the Wehrmacht, suddenly stunned the attacking Wehrmacht. Immediately afterwards, a regiment of the Eighth Army of the Wehrmacht suffered a major rout. The soldier attacked for a night, and his nervous strength was already very tired. Now that it is suddenly faced with a counterattack by the enemy's superior forces, it is understandable that there will be a collapse.

Both the Eighth Army of the Wehrmacht and the First Division of the Wehrmacht, which were the elite units of the Wehrmacht, quickly calmed down after the initial panic, and in the face of the enemy's sudden appearance of this unit with super terrifying firepower, the First Division ordered the retreating strength for the first time. It is not that the combat effectiveness of the First Division is not good, but that the current First Division has suffered heavy losses after street battles, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition is extremely serious. If it goes head-to-head with the enemy now, the 1st Division is even in danger of being completely annihilated.
