Chapter 1249: Shame and Courage

In the evening of the same day, Luo Zhengying and his entourage rushed to Songyang County.

At this time, the battlefields of Songyang County and Wutanjian Canyon have been cleaned, and the exact results have been roughly counted.

Looking at the statistics made, Luo Zhengying and Luo Weixiong couldn't believe it.

Including Wutanjian Canyon, in the battle of Songyang County, their 41st Group Army killed more than 12,000 devils, in addition to more than 1,000 people!

The main materials seized included 24 75mm caliber mountain guns, 40 70mm caliber Type 92 infantry guns, 16 37mm caliber combat vehicle defense guns, 186 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 351 crooked light machine guns, 191 grenadiers, more than 10,200 Type 38 rifles, more than 13,000 bayonets, and about half a base of ammunition.

"Commander-in-chief, the numbers are wrong." After Zhu Liangcheng saw it, he said, "There should still be a considerable number of weapons and equipment that have been hidden by the little devils, and then send troops to find them." ”

After Zhu Liangcheng said it, Luo Zhengying found that this figure was indeed wrong.

At that moment, Luo Zhengying said to Chief of Staff Luo Weixiong: "Chief of Staff Luo, immediately send troops to clean up the battlefield again, and there must be no omission." ”

"Yes." Luo Weixiong immediately turned around and arranged.

Luo Zhengying said to Zhu Liangcheng again: "Master Zhu, the number of devils doesn't seem to be right?" ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Zhu Liangcheng said, "Some of the devils fled into the Niutou Mountains. ”

"Some of the devils fled into Niutou Mountain? That's not going to work. Luo Zhengying said, "This will bring catastrophe to the people in the mountainous areas." ”

After a pause, Luo Zhengying turned around and said loudly, "What about Senior Sun?" ”

Sun Liren, commander of the new 38th Division, stepped forward in response and said loudly: "Here!" ”

Luo Zhengying said: "In this battle of Songyang, your new 38th division did not get a big battle, I know that you are not happy, now that a good opportunity has come, the task of chasing and suppressing the devils will be handed over to your division." ”

"Yes!" Sun Liren replied suddenly, "The new 38th Division guarantees to complete the task!" ”

After speaking, Sun Liren left in a hurry, and Luo Zhengying turned his gaze to Zhu Liangcheng again: "Master Zhu, where is Brother Ziren?" ”

Zhu Liangcheng sighed lightly and said: "Chief of Staff Zhong said that Yinjiang may be in danger next, so he has rushed back to Yinjiang with the coastal defense corps, and repeatedly told me to express his apologies to the commander-in-chief and a few military seats. ”

Hearing Zhu Liangcheng's words, the three army commanders, Sun Yuanliang, Feng Shengfa and Gui Yongqing, just snorted lightly.

Because the command was deprived, so that the three army commanders could only beat the side drum, Sun Yuanliang naturally did not have a good face for Zhong Yi, the initiator.

After Luo Zhengying heard this, his face froze, and he said thoughtfully: "Yes, the next thing is the key battle of the Zhejiang-Fujian battle, Yinjiang is afraid that it will be a tough battle!" ”

……

Shanghai, the headquarters of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army.

After being reprimanded by Nishio Shouzo, Usamitaka finally woke up.

Yes, the battle of Zhejiang-Fujian is still not over, and he Usamilong still hasn't lost!

Usamitaka who came to his senses summoned Shiaki Hinata and a cadre of combat staff officers and began to study countermeasures.

Hinata Shiaki glanced at Nishio Shouzo, and then said to Usamitaka: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

"You say." Usamitaka nodded.

Hinata Zhiming said: "Actually, from the beginning, I thought that it seemed more advantageous to directly attack Yinjiang. ”

"You're right." Usamitaka nodded and said, "The collective jade fragments of the 116th Division are enough to show that a direct attack on Yinjiang is more advantageous than a decisive battle with the Shina Army in Xinsheng. ”

Hinata Zhiming said: "What does Your Excellency the Chief of Staff mean?" ”

Usamitaka said: "It's completely too late to attack Yinjiang now!" ”

Speaking of this, Usamilong pointed to the sand table and said: "You see, Songyang County is far away in the mountainous area of western Zhejiang, and the straight-line distance to Yinjiang River is more than 500 miles, and the actual distance is at least 1,000 miles!" Such a long distance, even if it is marching at the speed of a forced march, will take at least seven or eight days! ”

Hinata Zhiming said: "But in fact, the Chinese army will not be able to reach Yinjiang in seven or eight days!" ”

"Yes." Usami nodded solemnly, and said, "Although the 116th Division has been collectively shattered, this is after all the Empire's A Division, and the 41st Army must have paid heavy casualties in order to win this battle, so the 41st Army also needs to rest for at least three days!" ”

Hinata Zhiming said: "In other words, within ten days, the 41st Group Army will never reach Yinjiang." ”

"Not only the 41st Group Army, but also the two detachments of Zhong Yi's coastal defense corps can't reach Yinjiang." Usami Takashi sneered and said, "Because Xinchang and Shengxian between Wuyi and Yinjiang have been occupied by the imperial army, the coastal defense corps will be blocked when they return to Yinjiang. ”

Speaking of this, Usamitaka said again: "Now, it's the turn of the imperial army to stop the Shina army!" ”

Hinata Zhiming waved his fist vigorously and said excitedly: "That is to say, within ten days, Yinjiang will not be able to get reinforcements from a single soldier, and it will only be able to rely on the existing forces to defend it!" ”

At this time, Nishio Shouzo interjected and said, "How many troops does Yinjiang have?" ”

Hinata Zhiming said: "Yinjiang now has a detachment of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps, more than 10,000 people. ”

Usamitaka said: "There are also the 62nd Division resting in Fenghua and the 61st Division resting in Yuyao, these two divisions combined, there are probably more than 10,000 people now. ”

Nishio Shouzao said: "In other words, there are probably more than 20,000 troops in Yinjiang?" ”

"Yes." Usami solemnly nodded and said, "At most, add some militia." ”

"Yo Si." Nishio Shouzo nodded happily and said, "Then how many troops can the imperial army concentrate?" ”

Hinata Zhiming said: "The 21st Infantry Brigade of the Fifth Division has landed in Sanbei, in view of the fact that there is no enemy situation in the north of the Fuchun River, there is no need for the 11th Infantry Wing to stay in Hangzhou, and it can be transferred to Yinjiang at any time, so the troops that the Imperial Army can mobilize are one of the 5th Division, 22nd Division, 15th Division or 17th Division!" Because it was necessary to leave a division to contain the 10th Army of China. ”

Usamitaka said: "The 17th Division will stay on the Xinsheng battlefield to contain the 10th Army of China, and at the same time block the Zhong Yi Coastal Defense Corps that is about to return to the division from the direction of Songyang. ”

Hinata Zhiming said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, will the troops be too thin in this way?" ”
