In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

The time came on August 8, 1939.

At noon, it was quiet in the office, and Usamitaka was sitting on a tatami mat quietly reading a book.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the office, and then the door was removed, and then Hinata Shiaki's figure walked in with his head bowed and bowed deeply to Usamitaka.

After bowing, Hinata Shiaki got up and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Sakamoto's detachment has entered Camel Town!" ”

"Yo Si." Usamitaka nodded happily and said, "Finally, we have lived up to the full assistance of the air force." ”

Hinata Zhiming said in a deep voice: "Speaking of aviation, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the 15th Division, the 17th Division, the 22nd Division, and even the Jichuan Detachment, have not small opinions. ”

After a pause, he continued: "They all say that Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is biased. ”

"Eccentric?" Usamitaka smiled, raised the book in his hand and asked, "Hinata Shi-kun, do you know what kind of book this book is in my hand?" ”

Hinata shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"The title of this book, 'Strategic Problems of China's Revolutionary War,' was written by Mao, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party." Usamitaka clipped the bookmark, then put down the book and stood up, "There is a point in the book that I think makes a lot of sense. ”

Hinata Zhiming frowned and said, "What point of view?" ”

Usamitaka said: "He said that for people, it is better to cut off one of their fingers than to hurt their ten fingers, and for the enemy, it is better to annihilate one of their ten divisions than to defeat them!" In fact, this is a deeper expression of the principle of the concentrated use of troops and firepower! An in-depth interpretation full of Chinese characteristics and Chinese wisdom. ”

Hinata Zhiming said: "Therefore, His Excellency the Chief of Staff will order the 3rd Flying Regiment to give up air fire support for the 15th Division and others, and instead fully support the Sakamoto detachment in the operation?" ”

"Yes." Usami solemnly said, "The aviation gasoline provided by the Navy is very limited, which is not enough to ensure large-scale air support for each division, and at this time, if the air support of the 3rd Flying Regiment is evenly distributed to each division, each division will not be able to provide effective support. ”

Hinata Shiaki then said: "But it would be different if you went all out to support the Sakamoto detachment. ”

"Yes." Usamitaka bowed his head lightly and said, "If the 3rd Flying Regiment goes all out to provide air fire support to the Sakamoto detachment, then the air firepower of the 3rd Flying Regiment can be enough to become a key factor in determining the outcome of the war!" ”

"The actual combat has also proved this, and the air fire support of the 3rd Flying Regiment has indeed become a key factor in the battlefield in the Jiangbei direction." Hinata Shiaki nodded and said, "What I want to ask is, why did Your Excellency the Chief of Staff choose to let the 3rd Flying Regiment support the Sakamoto detachment?" And not the Jichuan detachment or other divisions? ”

After a pause, Hinata Zhiming said again: "In comparison, the Kagawa detachment has a complete artillery group, and if there is support from the 3rd Flying Regiment, isn't the firepower advantage even more obvious?" ”

Usamilong's gaze cooled, and he said in a deep voice: "The reason is very simple, because Zhong Yi is there!" ”

"Zhong Yi?" Hinata Zhiming said, "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is saying that Zhong Yi personally commanded the Jiangbei battlefield?" ”

"Yes, although there is no evidence, I can feel that the Jiangbei battlefield is commanded by Zhong Yi!" Usamitaka nodded, and said, "If you want to capture Yinjiang, you must defeat Zhong Yi!" ”

Hinata Zhiming said awe-inspiringly: "It turns out ...... So! ”

……

In Yinjiang, Camel Town.

Zhong Yi was napping in a daze, when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and immediately woke up from his sleep.

Sitting up and looking around, I saw that Xu Chao, Xiaoliu and the remaining hundreds of remnants of the 5th Regiment were still asleep.

Although Jiulong Lake was personally commanded by Zhong Yi, and the 5th Regiment was also equipped with more than 50 Bazooka rocket launchers, the gap between it and Sakamoto's detachment was still too large.

Bazooka's first participation in the battle, although it dealt a heavy blow to the Sakamoto detachment, and in one fell swoop inflicted heavy losses on the artillery cluster and tank units of the Sakamoto detachment, but it is very unfortunate that the damage to the strength of the Sakamoto detachment is not serious.

After reacting, the Sakamoto detachment immediately relied on the superiority in strength and individual combat power to launch a fierce offensive again.

What's worse is that the devil air force is also like crazy and indiscriminately bombing the Jiulong Lake battlefield.

In the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the devil air force and the frantic attack of the Sakamoto detachment, the 5th Regiment was also difficult to parry.

In less than three days, the 5th Regiment retreated from the direction of Jiulong Lake to Luoluo Town, and Luoluo Town also became the last barrier to protect Jiangbei City.

As long as the devils occupy Camel Town, they can directly attack Jiangbei District.

And that's not the worst, the worst thing is that as the Sakamoto detachment opened a gap in Jiulong Lake, the chain of fortifications built by the coastal defense corps on the outskirts of the Yinjiang River also became disjointed.

Longshan Town, on the right side of Jiulong Lake, was surrounded by devils, and after three days of fierce fighting, a battalion of the 63rd Division guarding Longshan Town died heroically.

After two days and nights of fierce street fighting, the 187th Regiment of the 63rd Division was killed and wounded more than half and had to withdraw from Cicheng.

The division headquarters of the 63rd Division was also forced to retreat from Baoguo Temple to Zhuangqiao Town.

After the loss of Cicheng, Takahashi Town immediately fell into the siege of devils.

In this situation, after the Sakamoto detachment opened the gap from the direction of Jiulong Lake, it was as if the zipper had been opened, and it was pulled down the chain section by section, seeing that the entire chain of fortifications was about to collapse.

Of course, the most severe situation is still in the direction of Jiangbei and Camel Town.

……

It was too hot, Zhong Yi took off his steel helmet and was about to fan the wind to cool off when he suddenly heard a faint buzzing sound in his ears.

In an instant, Zhong Yi's face fell, and here it is again, the little devil of the dog day, is it really endless? Don't you need money for aviation gasoline, don't you want money for aerial bombs?

The next moment, Zhong Yi bounced up on the ground.

"Wake up, wake up!" Zhong Yi yelled, "The devil has attacked the air!" ”

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the 5th Regiment were sleeping deeply, and it was too late to call one by one, Zhong Yi immediately picked up Fang Xiaoliu's submachine gun and shot a long point at the top of his head.

"Dada......"

The fierce gunfire instantly shattered the silence of the afternoon.

The officers and men of the 5th Regiment, who were sleeping soundly, woke up one after another.

Then, the remaining hundreds of officers and soldiers entered the underground bunkers one after another.

Zhong Yi also took Xu Chao and Fang Xiaoliu to hide in an underground bunker.

As soon as the three of them had taken cover, one aerial bomb after another fell, and they exploded with a bang.

In the violent explosion, Zhong Yi and the three of them could clearly feel that the ground under their feet was shaking violently, and when they saw this momentum, they knew that the little devil had dispatched at least twenty more bombers this time!
