Xiao Yifei carried a bazooka and an assault rifle to reconnoiter along the Fuhe River alone, and found that the Japanese army was stagnant, so he went to the direction of Jinxian, where the Japanese army also stagnated, so he returned to the Dongxiang station.

Xiao Yifei knew very well that the Japanese army was changing its strategic deployment, and if it did not move, it would inevitably set off a bloody storm. How the Japanese army will move can only be known through reconnaissance, and intelligence work is particularly important at this stage.

Xiao Yifei called Chen Yugeng over, and the two walked side by side on the mountain trail.

Xiao Yifei said: "The Japanese army gave us time to prepare, and we must pay close attention to two directions, one is the Xinjiang direction, and the other is the Fuzhou direction. ”

Chen Yugeng nodded and said: "I understand, I have sent all the people to monitor, I use the method of flying pigeons to pass the book, as long as there is any movement of the Japanese army, I will know immediately." ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "I estimate that tomorrow, the Japanese army should have a big move, is it possible not to march from the direction of Fuzhou, but directly along the Xinjiang River by boat?" Or from the direction of Jingdezhen? Nothing is known. The commander of the Japanese army was a military strategist who liked to take the initiative to attack, and his way of using troops was absolutely different from that of his past commanders. In the past, commanders liked to gather their troops together, condense into an iron fist, and rampage, although no team in the national army could resist head-on, but it was also easy to grasp, this commander was skillful in using troops, and it was very likely that he would use suspicious troops, and there would be a feint attack by a team, and a team would attack mainly. If we make a mistake in judgment, the consequences can be devastating. ”

Chen Yugeng's face was solemn, and he nodded vigorously and said, "The task of monitoring work seems to be very heavy!" ”

Xiao Yifei said: "Yes! Regardless of whether the Japanese army is feint or the main attack, we must know it first. You don't have to take care of the direction of Jingdezhen, I will let the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army be in charge, and your department will be mainly responsible for the direction of Xinjiang and Fuzhou. ”

Chen Yugeng said: "I let the mountain tiger be in charge of the front line of the Fuhe River, and Kuaishou was in charge of the direction of the Xinjiang River. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Very good!" I have contact with these two brothers, and they are all hot-blooded brothers. ”

Chen Yugeng said: "When we were fighting, let our brothers go up, and none of our 5,000 people were afraid of death. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "You are a reserve team, you can't go on for the time being, I only have you as a reserve force at hand." When the direction of the main attack of the Japanese army was determined, and the team was unable to block it, the reserve forces were used. ”

Chen Yugeng nodded and said, "Okay!" I will mobilize them and be ready for war as I can. ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Yifei took Gu Yulin, Die'er, and Dong Ying to inspect the position of the national army.

After listening to the report of the army commander and the two division commanders, Xiao Yifei said to the army commander: "Once the Japanese army launches an offensive operation here, you must immediately report to Boss Dai, and Boss Dai will inform me of the situation in time, and I will quickly come over with the team to support you." Regardless of whether the Japanese army is attacking mainly or feints, this line cannot be lost. Once this line was captured by the Japanese army, the Japanese army would be able to drive straight in. I beg you, no matter what the cost, you must not retreat until you have to. ”

The army commander nodded and said: "I understand, I have built three lines of defense, the military headquarters is on the side of the Baita River, and no one is allowed to take half a step back without my order." ”

Xiao Yifei shook hands with the two division commanders and said with a smile: "Brother, let's fight together." ”

The two division commanders all nodded and said, "Fight together and resolutely repel any enemy who comes in." ”

At this time, there was a roar of planes from the north, and Xiao Yifei shouted: "Hurry up and hide, this is a Japanese reconnaissance plane." ”

Everyone ran into the woods, and the Japanese planes flew in a large circle in the sky.

Xiao Yifei said to the commander: "It seems that the Japanese army has begun to move, and you may be a key bombing area for Japanese aircraft here." ”

The commander sighed and said, "What we are afraid of is the plane in the sky. There's nowhere to hide. ”

Xiao Yifei said: "Don't worry, I will immediately send an air defense team over to guard the sky for you." ”

Xiao Yifei said to Dong Ying: "Contact Zhao Zihao immediately and tell him that the Japanese army has a reconnaissance plane flying over the position of the national army. ”

Dong Ying hurriedly set up a phone to contact Zhao Zihaozi.

Zhao Zihao immediately informed Zhou Gaoyuan and carried the plum blossom rocket artillery to the position of the national army.

Xiao Yifei shook hands with the army commander and whispered: "As the commander of the first army, you can't stay on the front line, you must be transferred to the military headquarters quickly." ”

The commander nodded and said, "Okay!" I immediately moved back. ”

After Xiao Yifei returned to the station, all kinds of information were summarized, and Japanese planes flew in the direction of Jingdezhen, Xinjiang, Yingtan, and Fuzhou.

Xiao Yifei said to Zhao Zihao, Lin Hu and Gu Yulin: "Calm down, the Japanese army has begun to lay out." No matter which way the Japanese army launched the offensive, the Nationalist army must be rooted in Dongxiang, and if it withdraws, the Japanese army will definitely drive straight into Dongxiang from the front line. We have long been prepared to deal with it on the third front, and although the New Fourth Army in the Jingdezhen direction is only 2,000 people, it is enough to delay the speed of the Japanese army's advance. The mountains are high and the road is long, and if we fight from that line to this side, the strength of the Japanese army will all be exposed, and we will have plenty of time to deal with it. The New Fourth Guerrilla Force in the Fuzhou direction already possessed a large number of mines, and once the Japanese movement was discovered, they could lay mines, delay the Japanese army with mines, and buy time for our follow-up response. As far as our team is concerned, we are stationed here, ready to support at any time. ”

Zhao Zihao said: "Long-range rocket artillery can hit 15 kilometers, and it will not take long for us to reach any strike direction from the station. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "Long-range rocket artillery is the main force of support, and a small group of Japanese troops cannot shoot artillery, and they must hit Japanese clusters." ”

Zhao Zihao nodded and said, "Understood." I will personally check the target. ”

The Provisional Headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army in Nanchang, Tsukada Tsukada, commander of the 11th Army, and Kinoshita, chief of the General Staff, presided over a military meeting, which was attended by the commanders of the divisions and brigades responsible for the southward operation.

Tsukada said to everyone: "Our task in this operation is to coordinate the 13th Army's attack on the National Army in the Third Theater, and our goal is to open up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line and join forces with the 13th Army in victory, so as to encircle the main force of the National Army in the Third Theater." The first target of our 11th Army was Yingtan, and it was advancing eastward along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line to attack the 13th Army. The Third Theater is on our side, with only one corps plus part of the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, and this is a godsend for us. In order to successfully achieve the target task, a brigade made a feint attack in the direction of Jinxian to attract the national army to hold on to the front line of Dongxiang, and sent a wing to cross Poyang Lake by boat and go south along the Xinjiang River under the cover of warships, cutting off the rear road of the Dongxiang national army. A division went forward to feint against the Nationalist army in the Ninth Theater, and a division seized Fuzhou, and then turned to Yingtan, encircling and annihilating the main force of the Nationalist army to the west of Yingtan. ”

Next, Chief of General Staff Kinoshita made specific arrangements.

Up to now, the Japanese army did not know that Li Xianghe's 10,000-strong troops had arrived, nor did they know that Chen Yugeng's 5,000 righteous soldiers were ready for battle. The Japanese army's operational deployment was only aimed at the national army, and the national army in the third theater had only one army in this area. The value of intelligence work is reflected here, Xiao Yifei has teams in many directions to monitor the Japanese army, and every move of the Japanese army is under control. In terms of intelligence work, Xiao Yifei has the advantage. But after all, the Japanese army is strong, and it is in the active attack, or to play cards to explain, the Japanese army has an invincible good deck of cards in their hands, even if it is a stall, Xiao Yifei wants to defeat the Japanese army, you must wait for the Japanese army to make a mistake, otherwise, it is still extremely difficult to win.

The Japanese army first launched an attack on the Nationalist army in the direction of Jinxian, and the Japanese army sent planes to bomb the position, and a large group of Japanese troops took the lead in the assault.

Zhou Gaoyuan's group was in the dense forest not far from the position, looking for an opportunity to strike at the Japanese planes. Due to the erratic nature of the Japanese planes, they have not been able to shoot down the planes. When the Japanese planes bombed the positions of the national army, they dived down from a high altitude, and the speed was too fast, and the rocket artillery could not be extremely aim. But Zhou Gaoyuan's group was not in a hurry, in their opinion, it was a victory to be able to shoot down one or two Japanese planes at a time, so they patiently looked for fighters.

After Xiao Yifei received the news of the Japanese army's offensive operation against the Nationalist position, he did not immediately go to support, but patiently listened to the report to understand the situation of the Japanese army's troops.

Chen Yugeng's men came to report that along the direction of the Fuhe River, countless Japanese troops were advancing south.

Xiao Yifei continued to endure and sat down to drink tea.

After a while, Chen Yugeng's people came to report again that Japanese troops had appeared in the direction of the Xinjiang River, numbering several thousand, and several warships were covering in the river. Xiao Yifei nodded vigorously and said, "The Japanese army is dispatched at the same time in three ways, and there are many people!" Dog's day, it's powerful enough! Yes! Lao Tzu went to clean up the enemies of Xinjiang first. ”

Xiao Yifei said to Zhao Zihao: "The lower reaches of the Xinjiang River are all lakes and swamps, and it will be difficult for the Japanese army to advance. Our group went forward to destroy the warships in Jiangzhong and let Chen Yugeng's team ambush them, which would definitely kill this Japanese army. As long as the Japanese warships could be destroyed, the Japanese army would have no supplies. ”

Zhao Zihao nodded and said, "Okay!" We immediately went to strike at this Japanese force. ”

After Chen Yugeng received Xiao Yifei's order, he immediately led the team to the lower reaches of the Xinjiang River.

The Japanese troops in the direction of the Xinjiang River were still trudging in the mud, thinking that their actions were extremely secretive, and Xiao Yifei could not find it, but Xiao Yifei had a lot of eyes, and the Japanese army had just arrived on the shore and went down the river, Xiao Yifei led the team to meet them and pounced.

A big war is about to break out, whether Xiao Yifei can defeat this Japanese military is a matter of the overall situation. Once missed, this Japanese army marched to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, and one army of the national army would be blocked on the west side of Dongxiang, and the two Japanese troops would advance against each other, and the national army would be defeated.

But Xiao Yifei does not have too much strength, in addition to his own guerrillas, it is Chen Yugeng's thousands of righteous soldiers, this battle is not easy to fight, to defeat this Japanese army depends on Xiao Yifei's courage and wisdom.
