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

The huge war room was brightly lit, but there were very few people.

Because when it was time to eat, almost all the staff officers went to the restaurant to eat, and only Usamitaka and Hinata Shiaki stood silently in front of the map with frowns.

On the huge map, two scarlet arrows are shooting towards the Yinjiang River like sharp arrows!

These two red arrows represent the 10th Army and the 41st Army of the National Army.

Yu Liangzhen's Eleventh Army was just that, originally there were only two armies and six divisions, and now the sixty-second and sixty-third divisions have been disabled, and only four divisions remain!

But Luo Zhengying's 41st Group Army had three armies and nine divisions!

Moreover, these nine divisions are truly elite divisions, and they have inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army on the battlefield of Wuhan!

Looking at the huge red arrow that had crossed Xinchang County in central Zhejiang and was approaching the Yinjiang River, Usamitaka felt a huge pressure, and this huge pressure made him almost breathless.

The reason for this is also very simple, in the previous battles, the 5th, 22nd, 15th and 17th Divisions have all done their best.

The Battle of Yinjiang was fought to this point, and the 13th Army was already exhausted.

On the other hand, Yu Liangzhen's Tenth Army and Luo Zhengying's 41st Army have been recuperating for a period of time, especially Luo Zhengying's 41st Army, which carried the aftermath of the great victory in the Battle of Songyang, and the troops were in full swing.

Once the thirteen elite divisions of the Nationalist Army are put into battle, the situation of the Thirteenth Army will be very difficult.

At that time, I am afraid that it will no longer be an attack by the Japanese army, but a major counteroffensive by the national army!

Once the situation really evolves into a large-scale counteroffensive by the national army, what will the 13th Army do? Withdraw troops? Not to mention whether it can be withdrawn at that time, even if it can be withdrawn, the base camp will agree? But what if you don't withdraw your troops? Will reinforcements continue to be sent to reinforce the Yinjiang battlefield? Where are the troops drawn? And what about the quartermasters?

In the battle of Yinjiang, the headquarters of the Dispatch Army only raised a total of four divisions and regiments for military supplies in March, and if more troops were sent to participate in the battle, the military supplies would be seriously insufficient.

Thinking of this, Usamitaka was like fifteen buckets of water in his heart, seven up and eight down.

I am not willing to withdraw my troops at this point, but if I don't withdraw, it is too dangerous!

After a long time, Hinata Zhiming said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the independent mixed eleventh brigade has arrived in Yuyao, it is better to order the independent mixed eleventh brigade to go out of Xinchang and do your best to block the main force of the incoming reinforcements, as long as the independent mixed eleventh brigade can block the reinforcements of the branch for five to ten days, Yinjiang will be about the same." ”

After saying this, Hinata Zhiming said again: "After all, the Yinjiang defense line is about to collapse!" ”

It is an indisputable fact that Yinjiang's defense line is about to collapse, because Sakamoto's detachment has already hit Camel Town, which is close to Jiangbei District, and as long as Camel Town is taken, it can directly attack Yinjiang City.

And more importantly, Usamilong knows Zhong Yi or the deployment of the coastal defense corps well, Zhong Yi placed the troops of the coastal defense corps in the outer defense line, but there were no troops left in the Yinjiang urban area, at most they were irregular civilian armed forces such as patrol police and militia groups, and their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning.

This means that as soon as the outer line of defense is broken, the battle is almost over.

Listening to Hinata Zhiming's words, Usamitaka's expression brightened slightly, but he soon fell into a tangle again, because the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade rushed from northern Zhejiang to eastern Zhejiang, and the people were sleepy and lacking.

Just as Usami was hesitating, rhythmic footsteps sounded outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the figure flashed, and a beautiful figure had already twisted his waist and walked in.

Seeing the shadow that walked in, the eyes of Usamitaka and Hinata Shiaki lit up at the same time, whether they liked it or not, they had to admit that Yoshiko Kawashima was a rare beauty.

"Miss Yoshiko." Usamitaka stepped forward and said, "Have you Kawashima authorities investigated what the mysterious weapon used by the Coastal Defense Corps on the battlefield of Jiulong Mountain was?" ”

It will certainly not be a trivial matter to let Yoshiko Kawashima personally come to the headquarters of the 13th Army.

That's why Usamitaka thinks that the truth of the mysterious weapon must be investigated.

However, Kawashima Yoshiko snorted lightly when she heard this, and said, "This, for the time being, has not been investigated clearly. ”

"Haven't you found out yet?" Usamitaka frowned, and said, "Miss Yoshiko is here this time......

"I'm here to have an important situation report." Yoshiko Kawashima said in a deep voice, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs' internal line lurking in Chongqing has just sent back a piece of news. ”

Usamitaka said in a deep voice, "What news?" ”

Yoshiko Kawashima replied, "I would like to ask Usami-kun first, what is the situation in the Battle of Yinjiang now?" ”

Hinata Zhiming hurriedly said: "The situation in the battle of Yinjiang is very good, the Sakamoto detachment has made a breakthrough, and it will soon reach the city of Yinjiang, and if nothing else, the battle will end soon." ”

"That's right." Yoshiko Kawashima nodded and said, "The high-level officials of Shina obviously already know that Yinjiang is about to fall, so they are already preparing in advance. ”

Usamitaka was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Yoshiko Kawashima continued: "It means that the high-level officials of China are already preparing for the work after the fall of Yinjiang, to put it simply, those high-level generals of China are already thinking about how to preserve their strength and how to take over Zhong Yi's troops, which is the so-called East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps, but I heard that there are still two detachments of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps that have not returned, is that so?" ”

"Is there such a thing?" Hinata Shiaki was stunned and said, "Miss Yoshiko, your news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't be wrong, right?" ”

"The news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will never be wrong." Yoshiko Kawashima said categorically, "I can vouch for this with my personality!" ”

Hinata Shiaki's gaze turned to Usamitaka and said: "But I think, this is too incredible, with the current situation, the chances of the imperial army and the Shina army are actually equal, no matter who persists more, it is possible to achieve the final victory, if anyone is discouraged first, it must be the result of a big defeat and loss." ”

"But the biggest difference between the Imperial Army and the Chinese Army is that the Imperial Army, from His Majesty the Emperor to the officers and soldiers on the front line, are united, but the Chinese Army is the leader, down to the commander-in-chief of the group army, all of them have their own ghosts!" Usamitaka said hesitantly, "Based on my judgment of the Shina military system, the news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be true!" ”
