Chapter 1250: A Fierce Battle
Nishio Shouzo also nodded and said: "Yes, the 17th Division was originally a three-unit garrison division, and the 54th Infantry Wing was almost completely annihilated in Xinchang before, and it is now being reorganized in Hangzhou, and it will not be able to return to the battlefield in a short time, so with the remaining two infantry wings of the 17th Division, it is necessary to contain the 10th Group Army and block the two detachments of Zhong Yi's coastal defense corps that returned to the division from the direction of Songyang, can it withstand it?" ”
Usamitaka shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the 17th Division actually has reinforcements. ”
Speaking of this, Usamitaka pulled down the small red flag representing the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade from Fuyang County, and then inserted it into Xinchang County with his backhand.
Nishio Shouzo's eyes lit up and said, "Fujii Brigade? ”
"Yes, Fujii Brigade." Usamitaka said, "According to the original battle plan, the task of the Fujii Brigade was to contain the 41st Group Army of China, but now that the 41st Group Army of China has gone to Songyang, it is meaningless for the Fujii Brigade to stay in Fuyang, so it can completely rush to the aid of the Xinsheng battlefield." ”
Hinata Zhiming said excitedly: "The distance between Songyang and Xinsheng is close to two hundred kilometers, and the distance from Fuyang to Xinsheng is less than one hundred kilometers, although there is a Fuchun River in the middle, but the imperial army has the help of the navy, and the highway from Fuyang to Xinsheng is also under the absolute control of the imperial army, so the Fujii Brigade can rush to Xinsheng before Zhong Yi's coastal defense corps, so as to block his two detachments west of Xinsheng!" ”
Usamitaka said in a deep voice: "As long as the main force of the 41st Group Army of China does not arrive, with the joint efforts of the Fujii Brigade and the 17th Division, it is no problem to block the two detachments of the 10th Army of China and Zhong Yi's Coastal Defense Corps." ”
Hinata Zhiming smiled and said: "And the 41st Army of China will arrive for reinforcements, at least ten days later, and by that time, the Battle of Yinjiang has already ended!" ”
"Yo Xi!" Nishio Shouzo nodded happily and said, "Usami-kun, let's get started." ”
"Hello." Usami solemnly paused and said, "However, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, there is still a problem. ”
"Still have questions?" Nishio Shouzo nodded and said, "Usami-kun, you just say that as long as I can do it, I will definitely try to do it for you." ”
"That's right." Usamitaka said, "Zhong Yi has built an extremely strong chain of fortifications in Yinjiang, so if there is no full cooperation of the aviation force, it will not be easy to smash the fortifications on the periphery of Yinjiang." ”
"Of course that's fine." After Nishio Shouzo finished speaking, he turned to the commander of the 3rd Flying Regiment, Daido Pipehara, "Pipe-kun, did you hear Usami-kun's words?" ”
"Hello." Pipe Yuan Da Da said, "I heard it." ”
After a pause, Pipe Yuan said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, our 3rd Flying Regiment will go all out to assist the 13th Army in destroying the fortifications of the Yinjiang River, but it is ......."
"But what?" Nishio Shouzo said in a deep voice, "Speak! ”
"Our 3rd Flying Regiment has not much fuel reserves, and if we follow the original plan to give the 13th Army medium-intensity aviation fire support, it will naturally be no problem, but if we want to give the 13th Army high-intensity aviation fire support, the existing fuel reserves will not be enough." ”
"Fuel reserves?" Nishio Shouzo's brow furrowed.
For the reserve of aviation kerosene, Nishio Shouzo is also a headache.
Because the supply of kerosene to the army aviation was never open, the situation of the Kwantung Army was better, and basic training and combat fuel were still guaranteed, but the base camp was very stingy with the supply of aviation kerosene to the Chinese army, so much so that the bombing of Chongqing had to be considered again and again.
This is also related to the fact that little Japan is an island country and is poor in crude oil.
This is because more than 90% of Japan's crude oil needs to be imported from overseas.
Pipeline Yuan Dao: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I heard that the Navy has built a combat oil depot in Pudong?" Do you think you can borrow some fuel from the Navy first? ”
Nishio Shouzo said: "You don't have to worry about the oil, I will solve it." ”
"Hello." Pipeline Yuan paused and said loudly, "As long as the supply of oil is guaranteed, our 3rd Flying Regiment will definitely be able to blow up the fortifications of Yinjiang to pieces!" ”
"Yo Si." Nishio Shouzo nodded happily.
……
In western Zhejiang and Jinyun County.
On the rugged mountain road, the first and third detachments of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps are advancing rapidly.
Zhong Yi and He Wenxi were also in the march, Zhong Yi's physical fitness was at the level of special forces, so there was no problem, but He Wenxi was already sweating profusely.
Zhong Yi looked at He Wenxi, and then at the officers and soldiers around him, and found that most of them were out of breath.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said to He Wenxi: "Director He, order the troops to rest in place for five minutes. ”
"Yes." He Wenxi agreed, and immediately motioned for a few heralds to go forward to convey the order.
Zhong Yi's order was quickly conveyed, and the officers and men of the Coastal Defense Corps, who were hurrying along the mountain road, stopped one after another and sat under the shade of the trees on the side of the mountain road to take a dip.
Looking at the officers and soldiers of the coastal defense team in the woods, Zhong Yi's brows couldn't help frowning.
Although it is already the beginning of August, the temperature is still very high, especially in the last few days, the temperature has risen again, and the mountainous areas of western Zhejiang have returned to the hot weather, so the daytime march is really very hard.
Zhong Yi said to He Wenxi: "Director He, distribute Huo Xiang tablets." ”
Huoxiang tablets were produced by Xiang Maobai's Wuzhou Pharmaceutical, and Zhong Yi bought a large number at cost price, which was prepared to prevent the scorching heat, and now it comes in handy.
He Wenxi was about to leave when Xu Chao suddenly ran over.
"Counselor, Yinjiang Emergency!" Xu Chao said and handed over a telegram.
Zhong Yi took the telegram and read it, his face suddenly sank, this is really the more afraid of something, the more he is afraid.
He Wenxi's heart sank suddenly, and asked, "Counselor, is there something wrong with Yinjiang?" ”
"Hmm." Zhong Yi nodded, and said in a deep voice, "This little devil Usamitaka still has some ability, after the 116th Division was completely annihilated, he immediately changed his tactics, no longer entangled with our 10th Army on the Xinsheng battlefield, and was ready to concentrate his forces to attack Yinjiang!" Yinjiang is about to usher in a fierce battle! ”
He Wenxi said: "It's a big trouble now, there is only one detachment left in Yinjiang now, but the devil can mobilize the superior forces of nearly two divisions!" ”
"No, Director He, you're wrong." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "The troops that the devil can mobilize are not two divisions, but nearly four divisions!" I forgot to mention that the other three infantry wings of the 5th Division have also been transferred to Zhejiang Province! Two of the wings have even gone ashore in the Three Norths. ”
