"I've heard of Sparrow Wars, too." Nishio Shouzao said, "What does Usami-kun mean is that the sports battle that Zhong Yi is about to use on the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield is the sparrow war?" ”

Usamitaka said: "It should be an enhanced version of the sparrow war." ”

After a pause, Usamitaka said: "Due to their inferior equipment and lack of ammunition, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Hebei can only pose a threat to small-scale baggage troops, but the strength of the regular army in China on the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield cannot be underestimated, and they can pose a threat to the baggage troops on the scale of the wing. ”

Nishio Shouzao said: "That is to say, Zhong Yi is not prepared to adopt the positional warfare that all the commanders of the Chinese army would have adopted in the previous battles, and would rather give the cities and pieces of land to the imperial army, and also gather the superior forces on the flanks of the imperial army to attack the baggage troops of the imperial army?" ”

"Yes." Usamitaka replied, "If the baggage units of the Imperial Army suffer a devastating blow and supplies cannot be delivered, then the combat units on the front line will be in danger, and at that time, it cannot be ruled out that Zhong Yi will concentrate his forces and launch an attack on the combat troops who are in a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food." ”

Hinata Shiaki then said: "In the Battle of Xuzhou, such a thing actually happened, the Sakamoto detachment and the Seya detachment advanced too fast, resulting in a disconnection with the follow-up troops, and their baggage troops were attacked continuously, so that the two detachments fell into a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, and were almost surrounded and annihilated by the Shina army. ”

Nishio Shouzo said: "So, is there any good countermeasure?" ”

"Nope." Hinata Zhiming shook his head and said, "Because the imperial army carries a large amount of heavy equipment, it must use the road to maneuver, and central and western Zhejiang are mostly mountainous and hilly terrain, if the Chinese army wants to avoid the imperial army, the imperial army will have no way to find them from the mountains and join in the extermination." ”

Nishio Shouzo frowned when he heard this: "In other words, we can't do anything, can we?" ”

"Of course not." Usamitaka said, "Now that we already know Zhong Yi's intentions, we can join in and use Zhong Yi's intention to attack the Imperial Army's baggage forces to design. ”

Nishio Shouzo said: "What does Usami-kun mean by disguising the combat troops as baggage troops? ”

"It's more than that." Usamitaka nodded and said, "We also need to conceal the troops in the trucks that were originally used to transport supplies, and there are combat troops not far behind the baggage troops, so as long as the Shina army dares to make a move, it is absolutely impossible to end the battle in a short time, and once the reinforcements of the imperial army arrive, the Shina army will be in the back of the enemy." ”

Hinata Shiaki said: "After several failed attacks, Zhong Yi's movement war will be declared bankrupt. ”

"Yo Xi!" Nishio Shouzo nodded happily, and continued, "Then let's do it." ”

……

At the same time, in front of the Yinjiang River the enemy's staff.

He Wenxi walked quickly into the war room with a telegram and reported to Zhong Yi: "Attend, Fuyang County has fallen. ”

"Got it." Zhong Yi nodded when he heard this, he was not surprised at all, he had already determined the tactics, not to mention a county town, and even the lifeline of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway would have to be given up at that time.

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "The people of Fuyang County have all been safely transferred?" ”

"All safely evacuated." He Wenxi nodded, and said, "The security team and patrol police in the city have also been transferred, and there is only one patrol captain named Ma Fei, who guarded the east gate with more than a dozen patrol officers who also refused to leave, and in the end, all of them were martyred. ”

Zhong Yi's eyes froze slightly, and then he sighed: "We in China, no matter when there is no shortage of men." ”

"But such sacrifices are pointless." He Wenxi said, "If they can join our Zhejiang East Coastal Defense Corps, I dare to guarantee that in less than half a year, they will be able to become a real warrior, and they will be able to kill at least one devil on the battlefield, unlike now, more than a dozen people, even a ghost soldier has not been able to fight." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "The sacrifice of these dozen patrol officers at least proves one fact, we China is actually not short of blood boys, and it is wishful thinking for little Japan to destroy my China!" ”

"That's right." He Wenxi said, "As long as such a bloody man does not die, little Japan will not want to swallow China." ”

"Don't talk about that." Zhong Yi waved his hand and asked, "Has Tao Liu's 62nd Division returned to its original position?" ”

"Not yet." He Wenxi shook his head and said, "The 62nd Division just called back and said that it will take at least four hours to return to the original defense area. ”

After a pause, He Wenxi explained: "The officers and men of the 62nd Division are said to have not eaten for a long time. ”

"Four hours?" Zhong Yi raised his wrist to look at the time, nodded again, and said, "The transport team can almost reach Ciwu Town, and it should be able to catch up with the supper time of the officers and men of the 62nd Division." ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi asked again: "There is news in Shanghai, when will the devil cross the Qiantang River east?" ”

He Wenxi shook his head, and just as he was about to say no, a communications staff officer walked out of the communication room with a folder.

"Report to the Chief of Staff!" The communications staff officer walked up to Zhong Yi and saluted, "The military commander has sent a secret telegram to the Shanghai District, the Japanese army has raised enough ships, and at six o'clock tomorrow morning, the 15th Division will cross the Qiantang River eastward, and then the troops will be divided into two routes to attack Shaoxing and Zhuji respectively." ”

Zhong Yi immediately turned his gaze to He Wenxi.

He Wenxi walked to the map in an arrow step, picked up the ruler angle and began to draw lines on the map.

Several combat staff members next to him also came over, one with a compass and the other with a protractor, and began to assist He Wenxi to start the operation on the map, and with the joint efforts of the three people, the movements of the Japanese army were soon presented on the map.

Looking at the map showing the new movements of the Japanese army, Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "The devil reacts quickly!" ”

"Hmm." He Wenxi nodded, and said, "Looking at this posture, most of the commanders of the little devils have already judged that our army is not ready to fight a frontal positional battle with them, so they simply divide the troops and divide the troops, from the previous flat push to multiple parallel advances, and there is a great posture of swallowing up the entire northern Zhejiang, and even the mountainous areas of central and western Zhejiang." ”

"Then they have to have good teeth." Zhong Yi sneered, and said, "Director He, the telegram ordered the 16th, 62nd, and 192nd Divisions to keep a distance of 20 kilometers from the enemy and go around in circles, not to break away without authorization, and not to attack without authorization, the general operational principle is 16 words: the enemy is stationed and we disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I chase!" ”

"Yes!" He Wenxi replied immediately.
