Xiao Yifei's guerrillas successfully escaped from danger under the guidance of Wang Yaowu's martial arts, and after coming to Xianguling, they were sent by Wang Yaowu to take them to the military headquarters. At this time, it was dawn, and Xiao Yifei and his party were eating in the camp. There are white steamed buns and boiled eggs, this kind of treatment will never be enjoyed by the national army, and only Xiao Yifei's people are eligible to enjoy it.

Wang Yaowu personally rushed to Xiao Yifei's camp, Xiao Yifei was eating steamed buns, saw Wang Yaowu coming, quickly stood up, Wang Yaowu held Xiao Yifei and sat down next to Xiao Yifei, while knocking eggs for Xiao Yifei to clean the shell, while laughing and said: "It's hard to fight all night, I'll peel two eggs for you, you have to eat more, don't be hungry." ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "How can I bear it? You're a general. ”

Wang Yaowu smiled and said: "You are Huo Quai's illness today, I can only be regarded as an old soldier in front of you, and I can sleep well after eating." ”

Xiao Yifei took the egg peeled by Wang Yaowu and ate it, and asked with a smile: "How is the battle situation now?" ”

Wang Yaowu said: "I have ordered Li Tianxia's division to sweep the south bank of the Jinjiang River, and go forward to occupy Gao'an, and block the retreat of the Japanese 34th Division. The Japanese 33rd Division was far away from our headquarters and was held back by friendly forces, who were also trying to find a way to encircle and annihilate the division. However, the Japanese on the southern front were independently mixed into the 20th Brigade and were very close to the 34th Division, and once our attempts were discovered, they would inevitably reinforce and intercept Li Tianxia's division. The situation of the war is changing rapidly, and we are in the next big game of chess, and it is impossible for the Japanese to stand still. I have to take the next step, look at three steps, if the Japanese independent mixed brigade and the 34th Division converge, the mission of Li Tianxia's division will have to change. I haven't figured out who to block. Because everything is going well with Master Li Tianxia at present, I have to wait and see how the situation changes. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "It seems that the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Kazuichiro Enbe, is not a military strategist, if the 33rd Division and the 34th Division are combined, our side will not have the ability to encircle them." He actually let the 33rd Division go north, away from the 34th Division, this chess game is extremely bad, it seems that our side has a good chance to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 34th Division. ”

Wang Yaowu nodded and said, "Yes!" The battle is not only about weapons, but about people, and once the battle is over, the quality of the soldiers is extremely important, otherwise the generals will not be able to achieve the goal, but the most important thing is the general's strategy. The reason why the Japanese invaders provided us with fighters was because Enbe Kazuichiro was not properly commanded, and the Japanese army was arrogant and dared to go deep alone. To be honest, the Japanese invaders also have arrogance in capital! There are planes in the sky, heavy groups with weapons more advanced than ours on the ground, and crazy fighters who are not afraid of death and have been brainwashed by militarism. In the past, the Japanese army was able to defeat a division of the Nationalist Army with only one brigade, but now the Japanese army is fighting with divisions and regiments, and there is no precedent that it can withstand in any battlefield. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "It makes sense, listening to what you say, even if you encircle, it will be difficult to completely annihilate the 34th Division of the Japanese Army!" ”

Wang Yaowu nodded and said, "The biggest variable now is that the Japanese invaders will independently mix into the 20th Brigade. Let's observe it first, I can trust Li Tianxia's division, and only after seeing the situation of his division can I make further arrangements. You have a good rest after breakfast, and after lunch, I may talk to you, because then the situation will become clear, and my focus now is on the 20th Brigade of the Japanese Army. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Okay!" After breakfast, I rested. ”

In the afternoon, Wang Yaowu and Xiao Yifei looked at the map together, and Wang Yaowu introduced the battlefield situation to Xiao Yifei.

The 20th Brigade of the Independent Japanese Army left 1 infantry brigade (102nd Brigade Sakamoto Toshima Nakasa, called the "Ganjiang Detachment") to occupy Qujiang and Quangang to cover the left flank; The main 3 brigades continued to advance westward, occupied Gray Port, crossed the Jinjiang River to the north, and joined up with the 34th Division. Our 19th Group Army ordered the 49th Army, located south of Nanchang, to cross the Ganjiang River from Shixiajie and other places to the west, intercept the Japanese Ganjiang detachment near Quangang, and annihilate most of it. The tail chased the independent mixed into the 20th Brigade and hit its flank.

As soon as the forward of Li Tianxia's division came out of Shijie, he encountered the main force of the 20th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade crossing the river from the north bank of the Jinjiang River, attacking through Lujiawei, attacking Lazhushan with one force, and crossing from Hujia Nanjia in the west of Shijie with one force, copying the flank back of Li Tianxia's division, and bombarding it from north to south with 9 planes and 4 cannons, and Li Tianxia's division could only retreat to the southwest highland of Shijie.

Wang Yaowu's brows were tightly locked, and the tone of his speech was very heavy, listening to the sound of his speech, Xiao Yifei could feel that the battle situation was extremely grim.

Xiao Yifei assumed that he was Wang Yaowu, what strategy should he use to deal with the Japanese invaders next. For Xiao Yifei, this is an excellent opportunity to learn how to command large-scale operations, as a commander-in-chief, he must have a sense of the overall situation, and he must also know that he knows the enemy, and every unit is equivalent to a chess piece, and must give full play to its maximum effectiveness. When it is time to attack, it is necessary to attack, and when it is time to retreat, it is necessary to retreat. Taking Li Tianxia's division as an example, if he was forced to implement the original plan regardless of reality, then the result can be imagined, and an excellent army is very likely to be destroyed in the hands of the main general. Wang Yaowu did not fight with the Japanese invaders, and changed his response strategy in time, allowing Li Tianxia's division to retreat and hold the stone street heights. This chess game is very clever, and once there is a fighter, Li Tianxia's division may attack again.

At present, the main force of the 20th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade has converged with the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, and the offensive strength of the Japanese has been strengthened. The good thing was that the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army on the North Road had a nervous disorder and stopped moving in place. If the division moves south and joins up with the 34th Division, the national army will have no way to deal with it, and the upper command post can only retreat, and the main force of the national army will most likely be divided and face the danger of being wiped out one by one.

It turned out that the commander of the 11th Japanese Army, Kazuichiro Enbe, had told the commander of the 33rd Division before the war that his unit belonged to the 34th Division and regiment in the operation, and after the completion of the cooperation task, he could rest and recuperate, wait for the order of the dispatch army headquarters, and transfer to North China. The 33rd Division naturally pretended to attack, and after being blocked by the national army, it retreated to Fengxin to rest.

This gave the Nationalist Army the greatest opportunity to encircle the 34th Division of the Japanese Army.

The reason for this practice of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Invaders was not clear to the National Army, and Kazuichiro Enbe did not ask, in his opinion, such a powerful army of the Japanese Invaders, even if it suffered a major blow, still had the strength to inflict heavy losses on Luo Zhuoying's army. As the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Kazuichiro Enbe did not stay in Nanchang to coordinate the command, but went to Wuhan to plan a new war. No wonder the Japanese base camp wants to replace him, how can such a person be worthy of being a general? Command on the front line! If he had a little brain, he should stay in Nanchang, pay attention to the course of the war, and as soon as he found that the 33rd Division was retreating, he would immediately order it to join the 34th Division as soon as possible.

Kazuichiro Enbe gave the national army a chance, and the national army also seized the opportunity and made a deployment to completely annihilate the 34th Division of the Japanese invaders. In order to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the 34th Division of the Japanese invaders, Xue Yue transferred two elite divisions from the Changsha area to Luo Zhuoying for the frontal blocking of the 34th Division of the Japanese invaders.

However, the fact that the Nationalist Army spent a lot of effort to encircle and annihilate the 34th Division of the Japanese did not mean that it would be able to eat the 34th Division of the Japanese Army. At present, the main three brigades of the 20th Brigade and Regiment of the Japanese invaders have converged with the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, bringing a number of heavy artillery pieces and a considerable amount of ammunition supplies. The 34th Division of the Japanese invaders discovered the attempt of the Nationalist army, and instead of retreating, it deployed a conical formation in a vain attempt to break through the Nationalist defense line and annihilate the frontal Nationalist army on the spot in one fell swoop. Its arrogance has its own arrogant capital, because the Japanese army dispatched more than 70 planes to assist in the attack, and dropped more than 1,700 bombs, most of the frontal positions of the national army were destroyed, and the Japanese invaders broke through the gap twice, but they were all repulsed. At noon, enemy planes bombed in turns, and the enemy infantry took advantage of the gap to break through the downhill bridge, and the frontal Nationalist army counterattacked, repeatedly hand-to-hand combat, and the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and the situation was extremely dangerous. Once the Xiapo Bridge position is occupied by the Japanese invaders, the frontal position of the national army will collapse on all fronts.

Wang Yaowu looked at Xiao Yifei and said with a smile: "The situation has been explained to you clearly, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Yifei sighed lightly and said: "It's not easy, I didn't expect the national army to be so brave, I can imagine that the front-line battle is extremely tragic." It seems that the downhill bridge is the key point of the entire campaign, and once it is lost, not only will it lose the opportunity to completely annihilate the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, but our army will also face an extremely grim situation. ”

Wang Yaowu nodded and said: "Therefore, the defense of the downhill bridge division, even if it fights to the last man, cannot retreat, and must be firmly nailed to the position." ”

Xiao Yifei said: "What if the whole division is wiped out by the Japanese invaders? ”

Wang Yaowu straightened his chest and said loudly: "I will take the guard troops to go up to plug the gap in person." ”

Xiao Yifei shook his head and said: "You are the commander of the First Army, your mission is not on the battlefield, so be it!" Let me go with the guerrillas. Once there, it will be dark. My men have been baptized in many night battles, so let's flank and repel the Japanese invaders. ”

Wang Yaowu looked at Xiao Yifei's eyes moist, nodded and said, "General Xiao, I am not qualified to give you this kind of order, because once you get on the downhill bridge, it is very likely that you will sacrifice your life for the country." Come to think of it, you can't go to that place at all. ”

Xiao Yifei raised his head and said with a smile: "I am the leader of the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, if I don't go up at a critical time, won't I tarnish my name?" Give me enough ammo and I'll kill you tonight!" ”

After Wang Yaowu thought about it, he said, "Okay! I immediately organize a death squad of a hundred people for you to bring and equip them with the best weapons. General Xiao, all I can say is, please take care, you must come back alive. ”
