"Independently mixed into the Eleventh Brigade?" As He Wenxi spoke, he took a ruler and measured it on the sand table, then frowned and said, "Counselor, but now the distance between the 11th Brigade and the 17th Division in Nanxia Ciwu Town is only less than fifty miles. ”

Speaking of this, He Wenxi said again: "Although there is a Fuchun River in the middle, but the devil has the help of the navy, and hundreds of small steamers can be transferred from Hangzhou at any time, in this case, if the 11th Brigade is attacked, the 17th Division will be able to rush to reinforcements within a day." ”

"You're right." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "The time is not yet ripe. ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "The opportunity I said has come, but I just said that the devil soldiers are divided into multiple routes, which gives us a God-given opportunity to concentrate superior forces to fight a war of annihilation, but I didn't say that we will do it immediately." ”

The essence of movement warfare is to mobilize the enemy by constantly changing positions, causing the enemy to be disconnected from each other while exhausting the enemy, and once one of the enemies is relatively prominent, then concentrate superior forces to annihilate it! This trick can be described as tried and tested repeatedly in the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in the central Soviet region.

However, in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was much stronger than that of the national army, and the military strength of the Eighth Route Army was relatively scattered, so it was no longer capable of fighting movement warfare, and could only launch extensive sparrow warfare and guerrilla warfare.

But for Zhong Yi now, there is no such problem.

Because now the army that Zhong Yi can directly command has two group armies and nearly 200,000 people.

Therefore, once one of the Japanese troops is prominent, it is completely possible to fight a war of annihilation, but now, the position of the 11th Brigade is still not prominent enough.

He Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I misunderstood the meaning of the Senza in this way." ”

After a pause, He Wenxi said again: "Counselor, it seems that we have to think of a way to widen the distance between the 11th Brigade and the 17th Division." ”

Zhong Yi's gaze swept over the sand table and said: "In this way, let Tao Liu's 62nd Division fight a blocking battle near Ciwu Town, and after the 17th Division increases its troops, it will immediately withdraw from the battle and retreat in the direction of Shengxian, and at the same time, Zhang Liangji's 16th Division and Hu Da's 192nd Division will detour from Zhuji and Shaoxing respectively and put on a posture of encirclement. ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "If nothing else, the 17th Division will definitely invest all its forces to launch a reverse encirclement after discovering that the three main divisions of the 28th Army are nearby!" ”

He Wenxi then said: "At this time, if our army retreats in the direction of Shengxian in great strides, Usamitaka is very likely to miscalculate, thinking that our army is because the intelligence is not accurate enough, and mistakenly mistook the 17th Division in the direction of Ciwu Town as an infantry wing, and found that there was still a main division behind him and retreated hastily!" ”

Zhong Yi said: "In this way, the direction of the 17th Division's advance is no longer Jinhua in the south, but Shengxian in the east, and the distance between it and the 11th Brigade in the north of the Fuchun River has also been invisibly widened. ”

"But I'm afraid it's not enough." He Wenxi took a corner ruler and measured it again, and said, "Even if the main force of the 17th Division is attracted to Shengxian County, or even farther Xinchang County, the distance between it and Fuyang County is only more than 300 miles, and if you force the march, the 17th Division can still arrive in three days!" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Then we can only find a way to independently mix the 11th Brigade." ”

He Wenxi said: "Or use the same method to lead the independent mixed into the 11th Brigade to northern Zhejiang?" However, the problem is that there is nothing to use the same routine once, and if it is used twice, it is very likely to arouse the alarm of Usamitaka and realize that this is our design, and the two Japanese troops may return to their original direction of march. ”

Zhong Yi said: "It will definitely not work with the same routine, you have to think of something else." ”

As soon as the words fell, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in and reported immediately: "Report to the chief of staff, the 1st Division of Rong is in an emergency, and the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has sent a cavalry team and an infantry brigade to pursue the Hankou battalion relentlessly. ”

"Hey, the devil sent a cavalry team and an infantry brigade to chase after the Hankou battalion?" Zhong Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "I'm dozing off, and the little devil sent a pillow!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Telegraph to the Rong 1st Division, you are not allowed to ambush devils!" Not only is it not allowed to ambush, but it also has to find a way to make the Hankou battalion suffer a defeat, and then retreat in the direction of Lin'an with the little devils! ”

"Yes!" The communications staff officer agreed, turned around and hurried away.

……

In the town of Ciwu, the division headquarters of the 62nd Division.

Tao Liu nibbled on the cornmeal nest while reading the telegram in his hand.

Originally, when he was gnawing cornmeal, Tao Liu was still grateful to Zhong Yi in his heart.

No matter what, Zhong Yi finally did a great deed, sending a convoy to bring urgently needed food to their 62nd Division, and the brothers finally didn't have to go hungry to fight devils.

But after reading the telegram, Tao Liu's inner gratitude vanished.

"Fuck, let our division fight in Ciwu Town?" After reading the telegram in a hurry, Tao Liu scolded, "Didn't you say that you should keep a distance of 20 kilometers from the devil?" What about playing with us? ”

Zhong Guangren said: "Master, let's block the attack, after all, we have the fortifications that we repaired before in the area of Ciwu Town, and the devil from Xiaoshan is only an infantry brigade, we can handle it." ”

To make it clear, Zhong Yi did not convey the information on the secret telegram sent by Fang Jianwei to the divisions on the front line.

He did this, firstly, to ensure the safety of the intelligence agents lurking inside the headquarters of the Devil's 13th Army, and secondly, there was no need for the army and division commanders on the front line to know this.

It's bad for them to know this.

Therefore, Tao Liu didn't know that it was actually a whole division that was rushing on the opposite side.

"That's not to be careless." Tao Liu said, "Order the troops, widen the front, increase the depth, in my estimation, Zhong Yi should not let us stay on this for too long, he will let us withdraw soon!" ”

Zhong Guangren thought for a while and said, "Master, I'll go there myself." ”

"It's fine." Tao Liu said, "Then there will be Brother Lao Guangren to go." ”

By the time Zhong Guangren left the division headquarters and came to the defensive position of the Independent Regiment, the Japanese troops on the opposite side had already begun to attack, and rows of shells fell on the positions of the Nationalist army like rain.

Fortunately, the firing points of the independent regiment were not exposed, so the losses were not large.
