Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

As the weather gradually turned cooler and the cold air enveloped the earth, the working group of the disaster relief committee had to gradually shift its focus to the south. Behind this decision was the care and responsibility for the disaster-stricken people in the south.

Especially in Central Plains Province, a place once ravaged by war, is now working hard to restore order and rebuild homes.

After stabilizing the situation in the province, the Zhongyuan Provincial Government planned to cooperate with the Central Army of the First War Zone to launch a fierce offensive against the Japanese troops in Hubei Province.

They hope that through this battle, they can completely open up the shipping route in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and create more convenient conditions for the transportation of materials and the exchanges of personnel.

However, just when everything was ready, the National Government suddenly intervened, resulting in the First War Zone ultimately being unable to participate in this military operation.

For Wang Chun, he urgently needed the Yangtze River route to transport a large number of refugees.

At the same time, controlling the Yangtze River means having more strategic options. One can go upstream and penetrate deep into Bashu, or go downstream and seize the core areas of China in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Against this background, he resolutely decided to draw another elite force from North China, including an armored division, two other armored brigades and two motorized infantry divisions, to march south to the Central Plains and attack Hubei Province.

After entering winter, the war in the north gradually subsided, leaving only 100,000 Japanese troops on the Jiaodong Peninsula still struggling to hold on.

This front was the main battlefield of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. They fought bravely for the dignity of the country and the nation.

Faced with such a situation, the 78th Army Group knew that it should not intervene rashly so as not to affect the overall battle situation.

Therefore, they decided to concentrate their forces and attack Hubei Province with all their might in order to achieve greater victory.

Under the command of Qian Weida, the 7th Armored Division, like a sharp knife, took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the Japanese th Division entrenched in Wushengguan.

The 7th Division, which was originally stationed in the Northeast and belonged to the Kwantung Army, was transferred to the North China region in the first half of this year.

They were stationed in Zhongyuan Province after attacking the First War Zone, but as the war situation changed, the 78th Army launched a decisive battle against North China.

Due to the unfavorable progress of the war, the Japanese 7th Division had to withdraw from the heart of Central Plains Province to Xinyang, and remained stationed at the strategic location of Wushengguan.

Wusheng Pass, as a key location that protects the Central Plains in the north and locks Ezhou in the south, controls the throat of north-south transportation and is a place of contention for military strategists.

The Japanese Seventh Division's choice to hold its ground here undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to the First War Zone and other troops.

After the 78th Army successfully launched the decisive battle in North China and won, the First War Zone of the National Army, under the command of General Wei Lihuang, also attempted to attack Wushengguan.

However, despite the tremendous efforts, the final result was still regrettable - Wusheng Pass failed to be captured.

This fully demonstrates the powerful strength of the Japanese 7th Division as a permanent division of the Japanese Army, and its combat effectiveness is far beyond the reach of ordinary Chinese troops.

The government in the mountain city has been extremely busy during this period, doing its best every day to send all the refugees stranded in the southwest to the north.

They even sent out the army to "help" the refugees return home, and the process was full of infuriating and regrettable incidents.

Fortunately, the Guan Censhan government demonstrated excellent coordination capabilities and successfully responded to this large-scale population migration, which was undoubtedly a severe test for this group of young people whose average age was no more than 35 years old.

During this great migration, sufficient food and cotton clothing became important material guarantees. Surprisingly, even the government officials in charge of Guancen Mountain did not know where their commander-in-chief got such large quantities of supplies.

As the weather gradually turns colder and the temperature continues to drop, the refugees' enthusiasm to return home remains unabated.

After two months of continuous efforts, the refugees finally returned to their hometown and were properly resettled.

Now, there is no need for the government to mobilize, as a large number of fleeing northerners have organized themselves spontaneously.

At the same time, they actively contacted the Guancenshan liaison offices in various places to obtain the latest information and support.

On the other side, they quickly gathered into small teams and couldn't wait to embark on the journey home, heading towards the hometown they had been thinking about day and night.

As the New Year approached, the number of refugees returning to the north had reached a staggering 3200 million! Such a huge scale is simply jaw-dropping and unimaginable.

However, even though so many people have already embarked on the journey home, countless more continue to join them.

Taking into account the cold weather, in order to ensure the safety of these people's lives and basic living needs, the 78th Army Group set up a large number of relief camps in Anhui Province and Zhongyuan Province.

These camps were all left behind by the army, providing a warm haven for the citizens returning north, allowing them to spend the long winter here, waiting for the arrival of spring, and then returning to their hometown.

Some people were worried that so many refugees would put tremendous pressure on the logistics support of the 78th Army and might even drag down the entire army.

However, reality slapped the faces of those who made sarcastic remarks and waited to be laughed at.

Countless messages from relief stations indicate that the vast majority of those returning home have been properly resettled.

Their basic living needs were met and they were in good health. What was even more surprising was that the 78th Army actually launched an attack on the Japanese troops in Hubei Province at this critical moment.

This move was completely unexpected by everyone. Prior to this, the 78th Army Group had not disclosed any information about this action to the outside world, which caught everyone off guard.

No one expected that in the face of such a huge refugee crisis, the 78th Army would not only be able to cope with it with ease, but also have the energy to launch a military offensive.

So much so that when the tanks of the 8th Armored Division arrived at Wusheng Pass, the 7th Division of the Japanese Army was still in a confused state.

Yes! Who would have thought that the 78th Army, a group of unscrupulous guys, would launch a military offensive while carrying out disaster relief.

"Baga! What are you talking about?" When the commander of the 7th Division, Fujiwara Shizuka, heard the news from his subordinates, he felt as if he had suffered great humiliation.

It was not about the attack on the 78th Army, but he felt that his subordinates were using this extremely low-level lie to deceive him.

Although Fujiwara Shizuka got the position of commander of the Seventh Division through connections, it does not mean that he is someone who can be easily deceived.

Everyone knows that China's 78th Army is doing its best to rescue the people returning north, and even the Japanese are turning a blind eye to it!

The purpose was to allow these huge numbers of refugees to overwhelm the logistics of the 78th Army. Even if they could not overwhelm them completely, they could at least create enough difficulties for them.

Delaying their military actions is not a bad thing for the Japanese stationed in China.

Fujiwara Shizuka is currently in the country building relationships with the front-line headquarters, hoping to be transferred back to the country or go to Southeast Asia.

Anyway, it was much better than waiting to die here, but just as he brought a few trusted men to the front-line headquarters in Wuchang to do something.

His subordinates actually told him that China's 78th Army was actually preparing to attack Wushengguan where the th Division was stationed.

They also stated with certainty that the tanks of China's most powerful armored division were approaching Wushengguan, and they could even see through telescopes the smoke and dust raised by the marching tank column.
