Chapter 1237 Arrogance and Underestimation of the Enemy

Zhong Yi smiled: "Who said that if the tactical intent is exposed, you can't fight an ambush?" ”

"Gah?" He Wenxi was speechless when he heard this, and his tactical intentions were exposed, but he could still fight an ambush?

Zhong Yi said again: "Director He, let's talk about it first, how many roads can be taken from Wuyi County to Songyang County?" ”

"Three roads." He Wenxi already knew this, and immediately said without thinking, "One is to return to Songyang through Jinhua and Longyou, this road is the farthest, the actual distance is at least more than 500 miles, and it is still under the control of our army, so the possibility of devils taking this road can basically be ruled out." ”

After a pause, He Wenxi said again: "The second is to return to Yongkang first, and then go west to Songyang County through Lishui, this road is about three hundred miles, and it is basically under the control of the little devils, so the devils in the Wuyi direction are most likely to take this road to reinforce the Songyang devils." ”

After another pause, He Wenxi said again: "In addition to these two roads, there is also a small road, which can go directly to Songyang County by crossing Huangtangling and Niutou Mountain, this road is the closest, only less than two hundred miles!" ”

Zhong Yi said again: "Director He, you say, which way will the devil go in the end?" ”

"Do you need to guess?" He Wenxi said, "It must be Lishui." ”

"Really?" Zhong Yi smiled and said, "But I don't think Usamitaka will choose any way!" ”

"Usamitaka doesn't choose any way?" He Wenxi said in a daze, "How is this possible, could it be that the little devil can still fly from the sky?" ”

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about how to fight this battle in Songyang County first." ”

"That's right." He Wenxi thought so, "Don't finally concentrate the main force of the 41st Group Army, but you can't even beat a single Miura brigade, then it's a joke." ”

Zhong Yi nodded and said: "The Miura Brigade has two infantry wings and an artillery brigade under its jurisdiction, and its combat effectiveness is still quite strong, if it is really a head-to-head confrontation, if the main force of the 41st Group Army does not pay the price of more than half of the casualties, I am afraid it will be difficult to gnaw this hard bone, so we still have to take advantage of the arrogance and underestimation of the enemy." ”

"And take advantage of the arrogance and contempt of the devil?" He Wenxi said, "Counselor, I'm afraid this is unlikely, right?" Nine times out of ten, this little devil Usamitaka has already judged our combat intentions, so it is impossible for him not to remind Yamazaki Youyoshi, if Yamazaki Youyoshi knew that the 41st Group Army was in Songyang, he would still dare to underestimate the enemy? ”

"Nothing is impossible." Zhong Yi said, "It's man-made. ”

……

At the same time, more than ten miles east of Songyang County, there is a hill called Turtle Gang.

The reason why this mountain is called Turtle Hill is not because the whole mountain looks like a turtle, but because there is a rock on the top of the mountain that resembles a turtle, so it is named Turtle Gang.

At this moment, Yamazaki Ukichi, the brigade of the 119th Infantry Brigade of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, was standing on Turtle Rock with a telescope and looking at Songyang Castle.

Here it is necessary to briefly introduce this 119th Infantry Brigade.

At the beginning of the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army only had 17 permanent divisions and regiments, and such a small number of troops were obviously not enough to conquer the whole of China.

The number of these 16 ad hoc divisions is one before the original division.

The 101st Division is formed by the left-behind units of the 1st Division, and the 102nd Division is formed by the left-behind units of the 2nd Division, and so on.

Therefore, the 116th Division and the 16th Division, which committed a lot of brutality in the defense of Nanjing, are actually basically the same unit, except for the different numbers, their soldiers are all from Kyoto, and in a sense, the combat effectiveness of the 116th Division is even stronger than that of the 16th Division.

And the 119th Brigade of Yamazaki Youkichi is the same thing as the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division!

The 109th Infantry Wing and the 120th Infantry Wing under the 119th Infantry Brigade are from Kyoto Prefecture and Mie Prefecture respectively, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong.

It was precisely for this reason that Yamazaki Youyoshi did not pay attention to the resistance of the forward troops in Songyang County, and if it were not for the repeated requests of Shima Harayoshi, the wing commander of the 120th Infantry Wing, to report the matter, Yamazaki Youyoshi would not even have planned to report the matter to the 13th Army Headquarters in Shanghai.

In a word, the 116th Division has been too smooth since the landing in Wenzhou!

And all the way from Wenzhou to Lishui, it was Miura Tadaji's infantry 130th Brigade that played the vanguard, so Yamazaki Youji held his breath in his heart, and he must take Quzhou City before Miura Tadaji hit Jinhua, this is a competition between two old devils, and it is not enough for outsiders.

But there are also people who understand among the high-ranking officers of the devils.

Wing Commander Shima Harayoshi of the 120th Infantry Wing is a man who understands.

When the advance of the Yamazaki Brigade encountered fierce resistance in the county town of Songyang, Shima Harayoshi realized that something was wrong and realized that they were likely to fall into the calculations of the Chinese, so he strongly asked Yamazaki Youyoshi to report the matter to the headquarters, and not only that, but he also asked Yamazaki Youyoshi to shrink his forces as soon as possible in order to protect himself.

"Brigade Commander!" Shima Haraji persuaded bitterly, "It is already obvious that the main force of the 41st Group Army of China, which has not appeared on the battlefield of Xinsheng before, and the main force of Zhong Yi's coastal defense corps, must have come to western Zhejiang, and it is likely that our brigade will be selected as the target of attack." ”

Yamazaki Youyoshi smiled slightly and said, "So what? ”

"So we should shrink our forces as soon as possible and rush to repair the fortifications in order to hold on." Shima Harajido, "Because the main force of the division is far away in Wuyi County at this time, at least more than 200 miles away from our brigade, plus the road is easy to be damaged, and there must be a hindrance from the Shina Army on the way, so the speed of coming to reinforcements will definitely not be fast." ”

"Reinforcements? No reinforcements at all! Yamazaki Youyoshi said disdainfully, "The Chinese army is all made of sand, and the imperial army only needs one charge to crush them, even if Zhong Yi concentrates a group army and a coastal defense corps?" It is simply impossible to stop the advance of our brigade! ”

"Brigade Commander!" Shima Harayoshi said, "We should be careful. ”

"Shima-kun, you're being too cautious." Yamazaki Youyoshi put down the binoculars and said nonchalantly, "In a war, in addition to the strength and weapons and equipment of both sides, the competition is also the courage of the generals of both sides!" ”
