In Shanghai, the headquarters of the 13th Army.

A communications staff officer walked into the war room and handed a telegram to Hinata Shiaki.

Hinata Shiaki read the telegram, and immediately found Usamitaka who was resting on the side, and reported: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Chinese army in the direction of central Zhejiang is really here!" ”

Usamitaka opened her eyes.

Hinata Zhiming said again: "The 54th Infantry Wing reported that they had just been besieged by the Shina Army from three directions and were in danger of being surrounded by the Shina Army. ”

Usamitaka rubbed her right hand twice on the armrest of the mahogany chair and sighed, "It's really a mahogany chair, the texture is as smooth and supple as a woman's skin." ”

"Nani? Mahogany chairs? Hinata Zhiming was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't keep up with Usamitaka's thinking, isn't this just talking about the war in Zhejiang, why did he suddenly pull to the mahogany chair and the woman?

"That's right, mahogany chairs." Usamitaka nodded and said, "Hinata Shi-kun, do you know that although mahogany is an excellent wood, if you want to make furniture, you must go through an extremely important process, that is, drying, if the drying time is not enough or the heat is insufficient, the furniture made will not be durable, and it will not be as smooth as silk." ”

"Heat?" Hinata Zhiming said suddenly, "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is saying that it is not yet the time for the 17th Division to invest in the other two infantry wings to carry out a reverse encirclement?" ”

"Yes." Usamitaka nodded and said, "Now the Shina army in the direction of Jiwu Town has just launched, and it is just a tentative attack, and once they find out that something is wrong at this time, they can easily escape!" Only when they are fully engaged and have fallen into the quagmire, then the 17th Division will counterattack at this time, and the effect will be the best. ”

"Hello." Hinata Zhiming paused, "I understand." ”

……

Xiaoshan County, the 17th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Nani?" The commander of the 17th Division, Hirono Taiyoshi, looked at his chief of staff with some astonishment, and said, "The headquarters does not allow reinforcements?" ”

"Hello." Chief of Staff Shimae Hishin said, "The command said that the time has not come. ”

"Baga, what kind of timing is the timing?" Hirono Taiji said angrily, "The Shina Army has already emerged and has been deployed in front of our 17th Division, this is the time, why wait?" Wait until the Chinese army finds that it is impossible to do anything and begins to retreat before attacking? That's when you miss out! ”

In a word, Taiyoshi Hirono never worried about the safety of the 54th Infantry Wing.

The reason why Hirono Taiji was in a hurry to order the other two infantry wings to attack was only to bite the opposing Chinese army at the first time and then wipe it out near Ciwu Town.

Therefore, Hirono Taiyoshi was very dissatisfied with the orders of the headquarters.

However, Hirono Taiyoshi is not a young staff officer after all, and his ambition is not great, so he finally decided to obey orders.

After complaining, Hirono Taiyoshi said to Shimae Bishen: "Order, the 55th Infantry Wing, the 56th Infantry Wing, and the Cavalry Wing should not act rashly. ”

"Hello!" Shimae is more than cautious.

……

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

The battle reports on all fronts generally came over, and Zhong Yi continued to give various instructions.

"It is reported that the Hankou battalion had a skirmish with the Japanese cavalry at Longkengwu, and has now withdrawn to Tianmu Mountain."

"Got it."

"Report, the main force of the Rong 1st Division is moving from Da Lei Mountain to Lin'an County, and Division Commander Zhu called to ask for follow-up plans."

"Telegraph to the Rong 1st Division, continue to move north."

"Report, Rong 2nd Division has advanced to Jiande, please follow up."

"Stand by now."

"Report, the new 33rd Division reports that the Japanese army has advanced to the Threshold Mountain, and Division Commander Zhong asks for instructions on whether to block it?"

"You can block it, but you must avoid expansion, and as soon as you find that the Japanese army has put in heavy troops, you will evacuate."

"It is reported that a large number of Japanese ships have been found gathering in the sea north of Cixi."

"Got it, telegraph to Commander Zhang, and monitor it closely."

"Report, Haining Salt Police reported that there was a group of devil marines in the salt field who rushed to land on the beach."

"Telegraph to Regiment Commander Yu and order him to immediately lead the six regiments to aid Haining and eliminate this group of devil navy!"

"Report, Director Lu just called, there are unknown armed elements in Jiangbei who have set fire to people in markets, schools and other places, and now hundreds of people have been killed and injured."

"Order Director Lu to kill the arsonist!"

"Report, the military commander Jinhua Station sent a secret telegram, the main force of the 17th Division of the Japanese army has not left Xiaoshan County."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi finally frowned, and did not immediately give instructions, this situation was somewhat unexpected by him, the main force of the 17th Division of the Japanese Army did not implement the counter-encirclement in the first place?

He Wenxi was also puzzled and said, "Strange, this doesn't look like the style of a devil. ”

"yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "In the past, as long as the little devils found the main force of the national army, they immediately swarmed up like chicken blood, and they had to put the main force of the national army to death as soon as possible, but this time, the three main divisions of the 28th Army have been placed in front of the devils, and the 17th Division is actually indifferent?" ”

He Wenxi had a whim and said, "Senzai, do you think there will be factional disputes on the little devil's side?" Will Hirono, the commander of the 17th Division, want to take this opportunity to kill the 54th Infantry Wing? ”

"No, it won't." Zhong Yi shook his head categorically, and said, "Although there are also factions on the little devil's side, as far as I know, there are the Imperial Road faction and the establishment faction, but their faction only lies in the officer corps, and the soldiers are not involved, so it is impossible for the division commander to take the opportunity to get rid of a certain wing." ”

"That's weird." He Wenxi said, "This is not quite in line with the logic of the little devil's behavior." ”

Zhong Yi groaned and said: "Director He, do you say that there is such a possibility, the 17th Division actually wants to implement a counter-encirclement at the first time, but Usamitaka does not allow it?" ”

"Usamitaka won't let you?" He Wenxi said, "Why? ”

"The reason is very simple." Zhong Yi said, "If I were Usamitaka, I would never let the 17th Division implement a counter-encirclement at this time, because at this time, the three main divisions of the 28th Army have not yet been fully invested, and once the 17th Division is invested in all the main forces, my three main divisions can run away." ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Only when my three main divisions are fully engaged, and even hit a real fire, and the 17th Division is put into the main force to implement counter-encirclement, then my three main divisions will not be able to run away if they want to." ”
