Just after the defenders adjusted their strategy, the Japanese army's 106th Division was divided into two routes, the southward attack of the Japanese army was the 136th Brigade under its jurisdiction, with the strength of a brigade directly towards Shuikougan, Zhangshuling and other places, while the westward Japanese army started with a chariot brigade, all the way to Luofang, Zhicheng, wrapped in a great victory towards the defenders' position.

At this moment, in the westward march of the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, Junrokuro Matsuura was studying the route with his officers on the side of the team.

The map was laid out on the cover of the jeep, and several officers gathered around, discussing with a serious face.

"Your Excellency the division commander, my 106th Division is divided into two routes, and now we are free to march with the chariot brigade, but the 136th Brigade is not assisted by chariots, if it is blocked by the Chinese army, how to deal with it?" After studying the route, the commander of the 111th Brigade, the foreword branch, suddenly asked.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the officers immediately turned to Junrokuro Matsuura.

They were also very surprised by the plan of His Excellency the Division Commander, but His Excellency the Division Commander had already given an order before, but they were not at ease to say anything, but now that the preface was asked, they naturally pricked up their ears and planned to listen to the division commander's answer.

After hearing this, Junrokuro Matsuura was stunned, but then he sighed, stood up and looked at the team behind him, the whole brigade marched, close to 10,000 people, the line stretched for a long time, and from a distance, it seemed like a long dragon.

After looking at it for a while, he turned around and said, "It's really a helpless move to divide the soldiers into two ways!" ”

"At present, although my 106th Division has a strong momentum, although it has broken through two positions one after another, this is only because the main force of the Zhina Army has not yet turned its forces around, if the troops are not divided into two ways, once the Zhina Army comes to its senses, mobilizes superior forces to encircle it, and uses their superior forces to intercept on the one hand, and encircle it on the other hand, we will definitely fall into the heavy encirclement of the Zhina Army at that time!"

"Once that time comes, no matter how strong our 106th Division is, it will still be impossible to escape!"

"But...... Once we split into two ways, it's different! ”

Matsuura Junrokuro said with a smile: "The 136th Brigade on the South Road marched directly from Shuikou Gan to the predetermined combat position, on this road, there are not many garrisons of the Chinese Army, and the distance is relatively close, and the difficulty will be much less, so I let the 136th Brigade attack directly, and my West Road is different, the West Road is full of the main force of the Chinese Army along the way, and after we break through the position of the Chinese Army, we will turn to the south, it is because I will arrange the chariot on the West Road, in this way, although we are divided into two roads, But in order to deal with us, the Chinese army must disperse its forces! ”

"The South Road encountered a relatively small number of Chinese troops, even if the other side goes to reinforce, presumably it will not be able to arrive quickly, and although I have encountered more enemies on the West Road, but with chariots, coupled with the dispersion of the enemy's forces, this gives us an opportunity to take advantage of, as long as we grasp the opportunity, it seems inappropriate to divide the troops into two ways, but in fact it is a clever plan!"

Junrokuro Matsuura talked eloquently, giving and explaining their plans.

And after hearing Junrokuro Matsuura's words, these Japanese officers around him suddenly realized.

It turned out that His Excellency, the commander of their division, had such an idea, and he was silent for a while, and after thinking carefully about Matsuura Junrokuro's words, he soon showed a look of admiration on his face.

If that's the case, it's really a clever plan to divide the troops into two ways this time!

As soon as they thought of this, these officers couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise! ”

"Wise or not, let's not talk about it for the time being, it's good to get through the current level!" Junrokuro Matsuura said goodbye.

Although he said that he was more worried, looking at the look on his face, it was clearly a gesture of holding a bamboo.

It is enough to show his high spirits.

After finishing speaking, Junrokuro Matsuura waved his hand and said, "Okay, since the route has been arranged, let's speed up the march!" Although we have a chariot brigade and are not afraid of the Chinese army, we must be vigilant against the Chinese army, arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible, break through the defensive line of the Chinese army, and join our army when they still have a reaction! ”

Hearing this, these officers couldn't help but glance at each other, and then they all bowed and saluted together, and responded in unison: "Hey! ”

……

After the Japanese captured Fengxin on the 14th, it took only one day to occupy Huibu, and then the 106th Division was divided into two routes, the 136th Brigade marched south to attack Shuikougan and Zhangshuling, while Matsuura Junrokuro personally led the 111th Brigade and the Chariot Brigade to the west, until they reached Luofang, and collided with the defenders stationed in Luofang, and the battle broke out from there.

However, although Junrokuro Matsuura was prepared before the battle, and he was in a hurry to march all the way, he still had a bad move after all.

By the time he led his troops to Luofang, the defenders had already understood the route of the Japanese army, and under the command of Luo Zhuoying, they were waiting for his arrival.

As a result, after encountering the Japanese army, the enemy was very red when they met, but they didn't say hello at all, and a tragic battle broke out directly.

Even if the Japanese army had a tank brigade to attack, under the stubborn resistance of the defenders, the 111 Brigade was still unable to break through quickly, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

Compared with the stalemate of the Japanese army advancing westward, the Japanese army attacking from the south drove all the way in, because the defenders along the way, under the command of Luo Zhuoying, had already obtained the real strategic intention, so after encountering the Japanese army, they always resisted for a while, and then led the troops to retreat.

Originally, at the beginning, the 136 Brigade was still very vigilant against the defenders, and fought steadily all the way, but when he contacted the defenders several times in succession, he found that the other party was about to collapse, and slowly, the 136 Brigade was getting more and more bold, and it drove straight all the way, but unconsciously, it had gone deep alone and arrived at the heart.

But at this time, the 136th Brigade still did not react, and when they were still immersed in their invincible atmosphere, the defenders had already mobilized their troops, detoured from the left and right sides, and surrounded them.

Once this pocket is completely tightened, the 136th Brigade of the Japanese Army will really be unable to escape!

At that time, even if they have fighter reinforcements, there is absolutely no possibility of escape!

At this point, it can be said that Luo Zhuoying's strategic intention has been preliminarily completed, and next, it is time to tighten your pockets!

To get into your pocket, there's one more crucial step to complete!

That is, when dealing with the westward advancing Japanese army, the key to completely destroying the westward advancing Japanese army and laying the foundation for this victory or defeat is the armored company of the independent regiment that has long been ambushed next to it!
