Just as the 62nd Division was recuperating and preparing for the night's battle, the 63rd Division, which was responsible for blocking the attack, had already advanced to Zhuniangling near Chongren Town, Shengxian County.

Because the devil has a large amount of heavy equipment, he can only maneuver along the road, so if the main force of the 17th Division wants to rush to the 54th Infantry Wing, it must pass through Chongren!

Of course, if the 17th Division had already captured Jinhua, it would be a different matter.

Because after the Japanese army captured Jinhua, they could go back along the Yinjin Highway and directly enter Xinchang, and Chongren was no longer the only way to go.

But now, the Japanese army can only go to Chongren Ancient Town.

Therefore, as long as the 63rd Division seized Zhuniangling and blocked the road, it would be able to complete the task of blocking the enemy in Shengxian County.

In this way, the main force of the 28th Army in Xinchang County will be able to encircle and annihilate the 54th Infantry Wing without distraction!

The division commander of the 63rd Division said that Jingguo, the fourth phase of Huangpu, the thirty-fifth year of Chinese New Year's Eve, is now the 28th year of the Republic of China, and there are really not many students in the fourth phase of Huangpu who have become division commanders, and Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian have just become division commanders.

Therefore, this country of words and scriptures can actually be quite fought.

However, the senior generals of the Third War Zone basically hated Zhong Yi.

Yan Jingguo is no exception, he also hates Zhong Yi very much, because Zhong Yi caused their 63rd Division to lack food and salary, and they had a hard time.

However, hate is hate, but Yan Jingguo also knows that the First World War in Xinchang is a matter of the overall situation, and the public must not be abolished for private reasons.

What's more, since the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian began, Zhong Yi specially sent a transport team to deliver food and guns, so they couldn't go too far.

Therefore, after entering Zhuniangling, Yan Jingguo immediately ordered the troops to rely on the highway and Zhuniangling to build fortifications, of which three main regiments were arranged along the highway echelons, the two main regiments respectively seized the commanding heights on both sides of the road, and the remaining one regiment remained at the division headquarters as the general reserve of the campaign.

It was almost noon when the Japanese arrived.

However, the Japanese troops who rushed to Chongren first were not the vanguard of the 17th Division.

The first Japanese army to arrive at Chongren was an infantry wing of the 15th Division.

After a little probing, the Japanese launched a fierce attack on the defensive positions of the 63rd Division.

About half an hour later, more than a dozen devil bombers rushed to the sky above Zhu Niang Ridge and frantically dived and strafed the defensive positions of the 63rd Division.

The defenders suffered heavy casualties.

……

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

He Wenxi hurriedly walked into the war room and reported: "Counselor, the 63rd Division is in an emergency, their defensive position at the front of Zhu Niangling has been attacked by the Japanese army, and the 378th Regiment has suffered heavy casualties!" ”

Zhong Yi nodded, and asked again, "Which unit of the Japanese army attacked Zhuniangling?" ”

He Wenxi replied: "There is no news from the military command yet, but in my judgment, it should be a part of the 15th Division that is heading south from Shaoxing, and the 17th Division cannot come so quickly!" ”

Zhong Yi's gaze immediately fell on Shaoxing on the sand table.

Just yesterday, the 15th Division of the Japanese Army captured Shaoxing County.

This is not unexpected, because the 63rd Division originally stationed in Shaoxing had already evacuated in advance, and the security teams and patrols in Shaoxing City had already evacuated in advance, and it was almost an empty city.

According to the original plan formulated by Usamitaka, after the 15th Division captured Shaoxing, it would continue to attack eastward, pass through Shangyu and Yuyao and then go straight to the western suburbs of Yinjiang, and finally cooperate with the 116th Division to go north, as well as the 5th Division that landed near Cixi Sanbei, to encircle Yinjiang City!

But now, the Fifth Division has not landed in Sanbei for a long time, and the 15th Division has also changed the direction of its march, and it seems that only the 116th Division has not been affected.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhong Yi's mouth hooked up a slight smile.

The entire battle situation has begun to deviate from Usamita's route.

……

At the same time, at the headquarters of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army in Shanghai.

Not only Zhong Yi, but Usamitaka has also discovered this situation.

From the sand table, it can be clearly seen that the 15th Division, the 17th Division, and the 11th Brigade have completely deviated from the original route.

Among them, the 15th Division and the 17th Division merged in the middle and reformed a central cluster.

However, the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, which remained in the north of the Fuchun River, gradually began to penetrate deep into the mountainous areas of northern Zhejiang, and the distance between it and the two main divisions of the Central Road Cluster was rapidly widening.

Looking at the sand table, Usamitaka felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

Although he left a wing of the 5th Division as his backhand, it still did not seem to be very safe.

Because the national army faced by the 11th Brigade is Luo Zhengying's 41st Group Army! This is the most skilled unit in fighting tough battles among the 41 group armies of the national army, and the equipment is good!

At that moment, Usamitaka turned his head and asked Hinata Shiaki: "Where is the main force of the 17th Division now?" ”

Hinata Zhiming said without thinking: "Back to Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, the main force of the 17th Division has just passed Shaoxing. ”

"Yaga!" Usamitaka said hatefully, "Why couldn't the government of China directly build a road between Zhuji and Shengxian in the first place?" The 17th Division had to get a Shaoxing detour! ”

Hinata Zhiming was silent, this is really not something they can control.

Usamitaka said again: "What about the main force of the 15th Division? ”

Hinata Zhiming replied: "The main force of the 15th Division has advanced to the north of Chongren Town, and at this moment it is launching a fierce attack on the 63rd Division of China, which is holding Zhuniangling. ”

"Command!" Usamitaka turned his face and said in a deep voice, "The 15th Division must break through the Pig Niang Ridge in the shortest possible time at all costs!" ”

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff." Hinata Zhiming said, "There is a sentence, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

Usamitaka said: "Hinata Shikun, do you want to say that the main force of the Tenth Army of China has not completely fallen into the siege of Kameda United, and at this time, the 15th Division is rushing to the aid with all its might, which is very likely to cause the Tenth Army to flee?" ”

"Hello." Hinata Zhiming paused, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Chinese army has always been good at escaping. ”

"I don't know about that." Usamitaka nodded, and then said, "But the situation is special at this time, at this time, the Fujii Brigade is alone in the north of the Fuchun River, and it is easy to be surrounded by the Shina Army, so the 15th Division must rescue the Kameda Wing as soon as possible and defeat the enemy in front of it, so that the left group can return to the original route as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of this, Usamitaka said again: "In the final analysis, the main intention of the Imperial Army in this Zhejiang-Fujian Battle is not to eliminate the living forces of the Zhejiang-Fujian Provincial Army, but to cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway and the Zhejiang-Fujian Highway!" ”

"Humble duty understood." Hinata Shiaki Road.
