In Yinjiang, Zhejiang-Fujian met the enemy's staff before the battle.

Although the Battle of Xinchang has been victoriously ended, the follow-up operations have not ended.

Because after Kameda's main force broke through from Teapot Pass, he fled to the west of Chongin Town to join Ikeda's unit, and then stationed near Zhuniangling.

In addition to this, according to the information provided by the military commander, the main force of the 17th Division of the Japanese Army and the other two infantry wings of the 15th Division have entered Shengxian, which can be described as a large number of soldiers.

At this time, the five divisions of the Tenth Army were still in the territory of Xinchang County, and if one was not careful, it was very likely that they would fall into the encirclement of the two divisions of the Japanese army, and it would be a big trouble.

What is even more unfavorable is that although the battle of Xinchang was won, the Tenth Army also paid a heavy price.

Among them, Tao Liu's 62nd Division suffered more than 5,000 casualties, which can be said to be more than half of the casualties, and Yan Jingguo's 63rd Division was also very tragic in the blockade of Zhuniangling, and the number of officers and soldiers killed even exceeded that of the 62nd Division, that is to say, now only three divisions still have the strength to fight, and they are already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

Zhong Yi didn't think that the Tenth Army still had the ability to fight another big battle right after.

In the final analysis, the officers and soldiers of the country are flesh and blood, people, not machines.

Therefore, what the officers and men of the 10th Group urgently need now is to rest for a while.

Therefore, it was imperative for the Tenth Army to disengage from the Japanese army as soon as possible.

Although the order had already been issued, Zhong Yi was still worried that the troops participating in the war on the front line would be entangled by devils.

So throughout the morning, Zhong Yi's brows never stretched, and he kept staring at the map and was silent.

It was almost noon, and finally a signal corpsman came in quickly and reported to Zhong Yi: "Report to the seat, the 62nd Division has sent an urgent telegram from Shaxi, and the main force of the division has now retreated to Shaxi Town. ”

Immediately after, a few more signal soldiers came in and reported to Zhong Yi.

"Report to the seat, the 63rd Division has now withdrawn to Cai's house."

"Report to the seat, the 16th Division has now retreated to Anding."

"Report to the seat, the 192nd Division has retreated to Shiliang Town."

"Report to the staff, the reserve 10th Division has retreated to Xiaojiang Town."

Either they don't come, and as soon as they come, the news of the five divisions on the front line will come.

He Wenxi said: "Participate in the seat, now it's okay, the five divisions participating in the war have all disengaged from the Japanese army." ”

Zhong Yi snorted and said, "It's time to take a breath." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhong Yi's gaze turned to the other side of the sand table.

The battle of Xinchang has come to an end, and although the result can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, it has been won, so now, it is time to consider independently mixing into the 11th Brigade.

Although the bones of the 11th Brigade were more difficult to gnaw on than the Kameda Wing, the combat effectiveness of the 41st Group Army was by no means comparable to that of the 10th Group Army.

In any case, several of the main divisions of the 41st Group Army were brought out by Zhong Yi!

Although the 41st Group Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Nanchang, after half a year of rectification, its combat effectiveness has basically recovered to its peak level!

The most important thing is that the 41st Group Army has three armies and nine divisions, and the strength of each division is 15,000, that is, the entire group army plus artillery is enough for more than 100,000 people! Comparatively speaking, the Tenth Army had only six divisions, and each division had only more than 9,000 troops.

That is, the strength of the 41st Army is almost twice that of the 10th Army, and more importantly, the 41st Army has three more artillery regiments! Although most of the three artillery regiments were equipped with mortars, they were much stronger than the Tenth Army, which did not even have an artillery battalion.

Therefore, as long as the conditions are ripe, the 41st Group Army has every chance to completely annihilate the 11th Brigade and Regiment of the Independent Mixed Brigade.

This so-called ripe condition means that the 11th Brigade and Regiment of Independent Mixed Forces have penetrated deep into northern Zhejiang, and there is a shortage of people and horses, and then the 41st Group Army will have the opportunity to launch an encirclement and annihilation operation.

He Wenxi knew what Zhong Yi was thinking in his heart, and said: "Counselor, the 1st Rong Division reported that the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade is marching towards Lin'an, if there is no accident, this devil should have already arrived in Lin'an." ”

As soon as the words fell, another signal soldier hurriedly walked in and reported: "Counselor, Rong 1st Division is in an emergency!" ”

"Counselor, it must be the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade!" He Wenxi's expression immediately perked up when he heard this, and then he reached out and took the telegram from the signal soldier's hand.

But after reading the telegram in a hurry, He Wenxi was stunned.

Zhong Yi frowned and asked, "Director He, what's wrong?" ”

"Senza, the devil has shrunk back." He Wenxi said depressedly, "I don't know why, the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade suddenly retreated back to Fuchun County!" ”

"Actually retracted?" Zhong Yi's brows suddenly became more and more frowned.

"Look, See." He Wenxi handed over the telegram as he spoke.

After Zhong Yi read the telegram, his face immediately fell, which was a bit unexpected for him.

He Wenxi said in a deep voice: "If the 11th Brigade is independently mixed into Fuchun, the opportunity to fight a war of annihilation will not appear, and it will be a waste to let the 100,000 troops of the 41st Group Army stay in Fuchun Jiangbei." ”

Zhong Yi groaned slightly, his brows immediately stretched again, and he said in a deep voice: "I know what's going on." ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "It seems that this little devil Usamilong is preparing to use the battlefield in central Zhejiang as a breakthrough in the entire battle of Zhejiang and Fujian!" ”

He Wenxi frowned and said: "Take the battlefield in central Zhejiang as a breakthrough?" ”

"That's how it should be." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "He should want to give priority to eating the Tenth Group Army, and then concentrate his forces to deal with the 41st Group Army, so he will suddenly let the independent mixed 11th Brigade retreat back to Fuchun County, the intention of this move is to contain the 41st Group Army in the north of the Fuchun River." ”

He Wenxi said awe-inspiringly: "Usamitaka, this little devil, it seems that he is planning to give priority to destroying the living forces of our army?" This is not quite in line with the combat goals they set before. ”

"This is also the proper meaning of the question, the devil is still very good at learning and summarizing." Zhong Yi said, "It's no accident, this little devil Usamitaka must have innovated his tactics, not to capture the city, but to destroy the living forces of our army as the primary goal, and the Tenth Army in the battlefield of central Zhejiang is the first target he chooses!" ”

He Wenxi said: "In this case, the Tenth Army will be in trouble. ”

"I'm afraid so." Zhong Yi said, "The little devil will definitely be entangled like kraft candy, and the next competition between the two sides is foot power and willpower." ”
