Turtle Rock, Japanese military observation post.

Seeing the Chinese army turn around and flee, Yamazaki Youyoshi immediately laughed proudly.

While laughing, Yamazaki Youyoshi said to Shima Haraji beside him, "Shima-kun, what did I just say?" The Chinese army is really worthy of being an army made of sand, and it still didn't disappoint us after all, haha. ”

Shima Harayoshi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brigade commander, I feel that the retreat of the Shina Army is very abnormal. ”

"Abnormal, what's abnormal?" Yamazaki Ukichi laughed and said, "Shima-kun, don't you think this is a trick by the Shina army to lure the enemy?" What age is this, and it is still tempting the enemy? Could it be that the Chengzhi army set up an ambush in front of it, trying to lure the imperial army into an ambush with a trick of defeat? Haha, that's ridiculous. ”

Shima Harakishi was speechless for a moment.

Setting up an ambush and then luring the enemy through deception is indeed.

But the sudden rout of the Chinese army is indeed very suspicious.

But I can't really let Shima Harayoshi say what is suspicious.

Yamazaki Youyoshi turned back to the herald and said: "Order the 109th Infantry Wing, take advantage of the victory to pursue, occupy Songyang County in one fell swoop, and then welcome the main force of the brigade into the city." ”

The herald paused, "Hai! ”

……

Under the Zouma Ridge, Dongshan Village.

He Wenxi said: "Participating in the seat, ordering the Rong 1st Division to enter the city by fraud, is it to introduce the devils into Songyang City, and then engage in street battles with the devils in the city?" ”

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Although it is very reluctant, we must admit that at least at this stage, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is still above us, although the combat effectiveness of the Rong 1st Division is strong, but compared with the 116th Division, it is still at a significant disadvantage. ”

He Wenxi said: "Field battles are not as good as devils, so what about street battles?" ”

"Street fighting is different." Zhong Yi said, "The biggest advantage of fighting street battles is that it can eliminate the firepower advantage of the devils, in the narrow and cramped alleys, the devils' artillery and light and heavy firepower are basically useless, and besides, the Rong 1st Division has experienced the Wuhan Battle of the remnants, and the experience of street fighting is much richer than that of the devils." ”

"I see." He Wenxi nodded and said, "I'm afraid this is also the confidence of the Senza to dare to take the 1st Division of Rong and shake the devil's brigade." ”

"You're right." Zhong Yi smiled, and then said, "I only prepared one division for the Yamazaki Brigade, but I prepared nine divisions for the main force of the 116th Division from the direction of Wuyi County!" ”

He Wenxi said: "Speaking of the main force of the 116th Division, before the Senzai, he said that they would neither choose to take Jinhua nor Lishui, so which way would they choose? ”

Zhong Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the map and said, "Go this way!" ”

……

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

When Usamitaka rushed back to the headquarters, it was already evening.

Walking into the war room, Usamitaka casually took off his hat and handed it to the orderly, and then strode towards the sand table.

Seeing Usamitaka coming over, Hinata Zhiming, who was working on the sand table, and more than a dozen combat staff officers subconsciously straightened their feet and bowed deeply.

Usamitaka waved his hand and said, "Hinata Shijun, what's the situation now?" ”

"Hello!" Hinata Shiaki said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the situation is still unclear. ”

"Still unclear?" Usamitaka frowned, "Still unclear what you mean?" ”

Hinata Zhiming said: "Up to now, only one division number has been found in this Songyang County. ”

"Nani?" Usamitaka's brows furrowed more and more, and he said, "Only send the number of one division?" ”

"Hello." Hinata Zhimington said, "It's the Rong 1st Division of the 41st Group Army." ”

"Rong 1st Division?" Usamitaka looked stunned when he heard this, and said, "The old unit that Zhong Yi brought out single-handedly? ”

"Hello." Hinata Zhiming said in a deep voice, "The Rong 1st Division is the 367th Regiment brought out by Zhong Yi from Jinshanwei, supplemented by a large number of veterans who have returned from the wounded, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. ”

Usamitaka said in a deep voice: "Especially in the Battle of Wuhan, the Rong 1st Division has inflicted heavy losses on the imperial army!" ”

Speaking of this, Usamitaka continued: "However, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Rong 1st Division is, there is only one division, which is not enough to pose a threat to the Yamazaki Brigade, what about the other eight divisions of the 41st Army?" ”

Hinata Zhiming shook his head and said, "I don't know, as of now, no other eight divisions have been found." ”

"Yaga!" Usamitaka's brows furrowed again, "What kind of medicine is sold in Zhong Yi's gourd?" He shouldn't think that with just one Rong 1st Division, he can defeat the Yamazaki Brigade, right? ”

At this moment, a signal corpsman hurriedly walked in.

"Report!" The signal soldier paused, "Yamazaki Brigade emergency telegram!" ”

Hinata Zhiming stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and after reading it, his face suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Usamitaka frowned again and said, "Hinata Shijun, what's wrong?" ”

Hinata Zhiming replied: "The Yamazaki Brigade has just sent a good news, saying that they have inflicted heavy damage on Zhu Liangcheng's Rong 1st Division outside Songyang County, and now the remnants of the Rong 1st Division have retreated into Songyang County, and the 109th Infantry Wing is clearing up, and it also means that the remnants of the enemy can be eliminated before dawn!" ”

"Nani?" Usamitaka said, "The 1st Division of Rong was defeated so quickly? ”

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I suspect that this is a conspiracy!" Hinata said.

"There is no doubt that this must be a conspiracy, if the Rong 1st Division was so easy to fight, it would not have caused so much damage to the imperial army on the battlefield in Wuhan!" Usamitaka said, "This must be Zhong Yi's trick, the purpose is to introduce the Yamazaki Brigade into Songyang Castle, and then engage in street battles with the Yamazaki Brigade!" ”

I have to admit that Usamitaka is still a bit of a good little devil, and he immediately understood Zhong Yi's intentions.

"Street fighting?" After all, Hinata Zhiming was still young, and he had never heard of the performance of the Rong 1st Division in the street battle in Wuhan, and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, is there a difference between field battles and street battles?" Zhong Yi should not be naïve to think that with just one Rong 1st Division, he can defeat the Yamazaki Brigade in a street battle, right? ”

Usamitaka also did not participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and lacked an intuitive impression of the performance of the Rong 1st Division in the street battle.

At that moment, Usamitaka said: "Of course, you can't defeat the Yamazaki Brigade in a street battle with just one Rong 1st Division, but don't forget, there are still seven divisions of the 41st Group Army, and the two detachments of the Haiphong Corps brought by Zhong Yi have not appeared until now!" ”

Hinata Zhiming said in horror: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, are you saying that it is possible for Zhong Yi to take advantage of the quagmire of street fighting with the 1st Rong Brigade to mobilize two detachments of the Coastal Defense Corps and the other seven divisions of the 41st Army to surround the Yamazaki Brigade from the periphery?" ”
