Wuyuan Wulonggang, headquarters of the 41st Group Army.
Luo Zhengying, commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army, and Luo Weixiong, chief of staff, were studying the map.
After nearly four months of rest and replenishment, the combat effectiveness of all armies and divisions under the 41 st Group Army has been restored to a great extent.
In particular, the return of more than 30,000 veterans from injury gave Luo Zhengying the greatest confidence.
Therefore, Luo Zhengying decided to make some movement in the battlefield of eastern Jiangxi, first, to give the devil some color, and second, to support the Yinjiang battlefield and reduce the pressure on the coastal defense corps in eastern Zhejiang.
Luo Zhengying has always admired Zhong Yi's righteous act of assisting a division of the 41st Group Army last time, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to repay.
"That's him, Jingdezhen!" Luo Zhengying threw the pencil on the map and said in a deep voice, "Jingdezhen is not only an important military town in eastern Jiangxi, but also an important commercial town. โ
Chief of Staff Luo Weixiong frowned and said: "But the general seat, the 13th Brigade of the Little Devil's Independent Mixed Brigade is in Jingdezhen, this is a hard bone, I'm afraid it's not easy to gnaw." โ
"I'm gnawing on hard bones!" Luo Zhengying said, "If it's not a hard bone, why gnaw it?" โ
Speaking of this, Luo Zhengying continued: "Immediately call the New Sixth Army and the New Seventh Army to attack and advance in the direction of Jinzhuling and Xiaogangjian respectively, and the New Fifth Army will immediately assemble in Wuyuan County as the second echelon. โ
Luo Weixiong was about to answer when a communications staff officer suddenly walked in quickly.
"Seats, seats!" The communications staff officer snapped and reported, "Chongqing emergency power! โ
"Chongqing Emergency?" Luo Zhengying's expression was stunned when he heard this, and Luo Weixiong hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the telegram.
Sweeping it at a glance, Luo Weixiong's face suddenly froze, and he said in a deep voice: "General seat, the headquarters ordered our group army to immediately move forward to Kaihua and enter the fortification area of Jiande in Zhejiang Province through Taohuayuan. โ
"What do you say, enter Zhejiang Province?" Luo Zhengying hurriedly reached out and took the telegram.
After reading the telegram in a hurry, Luo Zhengying couldn't help but gasp and said: "It seems that the scale of the Battle of Yinjiang has expanded, and the little devil seems to want to capture the entire territory of Zhejiang Province." โ
"It's normal, too." Luo Weixiong said, "The little devil must be trying to cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway." โ
Luo Zhengying nodded, and then shouted loudly: "Pass my order, the New Fifth Army, the New Sixth Army, and the New Seventh Army will assemble immediately, hand over the defense to the friendly forces who come to change the defense within three days, and then march in the direction of civilization!" โ
"Yes!" Luo Weixiong stood upright, and then turned around to leave.
"Chief of Staff, wait." Luo Zhengying suddenly beckoned to Luo Weixiong, and said, "Send a telegram to the Rong 1st Division again, ordering them to march to Jiande first, thinking that the army is the lead!" โ
"Yes!" Luo Weixiong stood up again.

At the same time, in Yinjiang.
After several hours of hard work, He Wenxi and more than a dozen operational staff officers finally completed the drawing of the map of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.
At this time, a complete map of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, which was spliced together from more than a dozen small maps, has been posted on the wall of the war room of the headquarters of the coastal defense corps in eastern Zhejiang.
Not only was the map completed, but He Wenxi even marked the offensive situation of the Japanese army.
I saw that two huge blue arrows have appeared on the map of Zhejiang and Fujian, one of the arrows started from Hangzhou, passed through Tonglu, pointed straight to Jinhua, and the other arrow set off from the sea off the coast of Fujian Province, drawing a beautiful arc on the map, passing through Fuzhou and Fuding in the north of Fujian Province, pointing to Yunhe and Wencheng counties in southern Zhejiang.
Looking at these two huge arrows, Zhong Yi's brows were already furrowed.
At this moment, Zhong Yi inevitably had a trace of regret in his heart, this is really unpredictable!
Zhong Yi's warning through Commodus and Senator McConaughey of Connecticut was only intended to put a tight hoop on the Devil's 13th Army, so that they would have some scruples when bombing the Yinjiang Industrial Zone.
McConaughey's warning proved to be effective, but it was a bit too much!
After realizing that there was no way to paralyze the Yinjiang Industrial Zone through the bombing of the air force, the devil decisively escalated the Battle of Yinjiang into the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian.
In the Battle of Zhejiang-Fujian, the Yinjiang and Zhedong Coastal Defense Corps were no longer the priority targets of the devils.
The priority targets of the devils became the 10th Group Army stationed in central and western Zhejiang, and the 100th Army stationed in Fujian Province.
However, the lethal effect of the Yinjiang and Zhedong coastal defense corps was not affected in any way.
Because after the Japanese army occupied most of Zhejiang Province and the northern part of Fujian Province, it was able to completely cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi and Zhejiang-Fujian highways, so that the Yinjiang River would be cut off from the outside world, and at that time, the industrial products produced in the Yinjiang Industrial Zone could no longer be transported, and the raw materials from the outside world could no longer be transported in.
If this is the case, within three months at most, the entire Yinjiang Industrial Zone will be paralyzed.
And the reason for this is very simple, because the operation of the Yinjiang Industrial Zone is inseparable from the supply of electricity, and the operation of the Yinjiang power plant requires a continuous input of coal from Jiangxi Province.
There is also a steel plant in Yinjiang, which also needs iron ore in Gan Province.
"It's a mistake, it's really a mistake this time!" Zhong Yi choked his wrist and said, "I originally wanted to make a trick, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but I helped the little devil make up his mind and simply expanded the scale of the battle!" โ
He Wenxi also sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Senza, we are going to be in big trouble now, there are only 100 troops in Fujian Province, there is no need to mention it at all, it is the 10th Group Army in central and western Zhejiang, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the all-out attack of the three divisions of the devil, and the Zhejiang-Fujian Highway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway will not be guaranteed." โ
Zhong Yi shook his head and said: "Director He, you don't have to save face for me, it's not just afraid, but sure, the Tenth Army will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the devils, and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi and Zhejiang-Fujian highways will definitely not be able to be saved, even if the Chongqing Command draws troops from other theaters to reinforce it, I'm afraid it's useless, unless ......."
Unless anything, Zhong Yi didn't say it explicitly, but He Wenxi could probably guess it.
Unless the Command transfers Luo Zhengying's 40th Group Army, there may still be a little chance.
Shaking his head, Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "What's worse is that even if we want to save it, we are powerless. โ
He Wenxi was also silent when he heard this, at present, the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps has just formed combat effectiveness, and it is very reluctant to defend Yinjiang, and it is simply unable to rush to the battlefield outside Yinjiang.
With a sigh, Zhong Yi continued: "Director He, you can make a retreat plan now, see which factories can be relocated to Siming Mountain, and blow up all those that can't be moved!" โ
"Yes." He Wenxi's expression was gloomy.
