After returning to the military headquarters by plane from Fujian, Zhang Lei immediately convened a meeting of officers at and above the division level.

At the meeting, Zhang Lei briefed the spirit of the Third Theater Military Conference, clarified the operational thinking for the coming period, and handled relations with the New Fourth Army.

Zhang Lei ordered Tang Jianshi to send two regiments to the direction of Tiantai to intercept the southward movement of the Japanese invaders in Shengzhou. asked Wang Yueying to send a telegram to Wang Qiang and ask the New Fourth Army to intercept reinforcements from Ningbo. Du Xuanyu's division surrounded Taizhou, and the special operations team and the special operations company assisted in the operation. Lu Wenjie, chief of staff of the army, was responsible for the specific deployment of the campaign, and Lu Wenjie, chief of staff of the army, personally commanded the campaign at Du Xuanyu's division, and Zhang Lei sat in the military headquarters.

As soon as the meeting ended, the ministries sprang into action.

To fight Taizhou, as early as in the plan, Zhang Lei did not need to go to the front line in person, and the chief of staff of the army was in charge.

After three days of fierce fighting, most of the Japanese invaders in Taizhou were annihilated, and the remnants of the enemy retreated to Ningbo.

Most of eastern Zhejiang was liberated.

Sawada Shigeru put all his energy in the direction of Shengzhou, although he also paid attention to Taizhou, but he did not expect that Zhang Lei's strength would be so strong that he could defeat Taizhou within three days.

Shigeru Sawada couldn't help but gasp and lamented! As long as Zhang Lei is in Zhejiang, the 13th Army will not want to do anything again.

After thinking about it, Sawada Shigeru thought that Zhang Lei had transferred the main force in the direction of Shengzhou to the direction of Taizhou, and he couldn't help but have illusions and wanted to send the main force of Shengzhou to attack Wuyi.

Sawada Shigeru rushed to Shengzhou to hold a military meeting, ordered the armored brigade to send a brigade to attack the Tuqian Division, attract Zhang Lei's main force to stay here, and ordered Wen Baoliang's division to be the front.

What Sawada Shigeru never dreamed of was that just after the meeting ended, Wen Baoliang informed Zhang Lei of Sawada Shigeru's battle plan through Zhang Lei's intelligence station in Shengzhou.

After receiving this information, Zhang Lei immediately made targeted arrangements.

The telegram ordered the two regiments of Tiantai to quickly approach Shengzhou, the two regiments of the Tangjian Division of Huijishan flanked Shengzhou, Du Xuanyu sent two regiments to let go of Wen Baoliang's division to ambush the Yoshida Shoichi Brigade, and the other regiments assisted the outstanding regiment to hold the position.

First of all, when a brigade of the Japanese armored brigade attacked Tang Jiantu's front division head-on, it chose the wrong direction, because the regiment had 1,000 anti-tank mines and tens of thousands of anti-infantry mines deployed on the front. The last time the Japanese attacked on both sides, they didn't encounter mines, thinking that there were no frontal ones, and they made mistakes in the tactical activation stage, and they could only eat the bitter fruits all the way. First of all, the anti-infantry mines continued to explode, and the Japanese infantry behind the tank were constantly killed, but the anti-infantry mines had little impact on the tank, and the tank tried in vain to drive straight in, and at this moment the anti-tank mine exploded. As soon as the anti-tank mine exploded, the consequences were extremely serious, and five tanks were immediately paralyzed.

When Sawada Shigeru discovered this problem, he quickly ordered the armored troops to retreat, but it was too late, and the heavy artillery of the two regiments dropped a dense artillery shell on the Japanese armored forces.

Seeing that a large group of armored troops could be destroyed, Sawada Shigeru could only pin his hopes on the attack of Bunho Ryoshi and Yoshida Shoichi's brigade. In Sawada Shigeru's opinion, Zhang Lei's main force has been transferred to Taizhou, and there are definitely not many troops on Wuyi's side, and since Zhang Lei's main forces left here are all concentrated in the Tuqian Division, then Wuyi City is absolutely empty.

What Sawada Shigeru never dreamed of was that as soon as Wen Baoliang's division had opened, Yoshida Masato was ambushed by Zhang Lei's three regiments, and although Zhang Lei's three regiments did not have heavy artillery, they had a large number of mortars, grenadiers, and heavy machine guns. The Shoda Shoichi Brigade was in the canyon and could not be spread at all. As the casualties of Yoshida's Shoichi Brigade continued to increase, Sawada Shigeru hurriedly ordered a retreat.

At this time, Sawada Shigeru received news that the two regiments of Zhang Lei of Huijishan were rushing towards Shengzhou, and the two regiments of Tiantai were also attacked.

Sawada Shigeru was stunned, he couldn't figure out whether Zhang Lei was one army, not two, no, there should be three armies, why was there Zhang Lei's army everywhere?

In four directions, Zhang Lei's army and Sawada Shigeru's army are fighting face to face, Sawada Shigeru's military strength is too scattered, and the Tiantai direction will not be able to hold it, Sawada Shigeru can only order reinforcements from the Japanese in the direction of Ningbo, and then order the Zhuji direction to attack Huiji Mountain, and the Jinhua direction to draw the main force to flank Zhang Lei Wuyi's army.

Within thousands of square kilometers in eastern Zhejiang, raging wars are burning everywhere.

Zhang Lei's army was the first case in the history of the Anti-Japanese War to defeat so many Japanese invaders.

The problem was that the reinforcements that Sawada Shigeru drove from Ningbo were held back by the New Fourth Army, and Wang Qiang spent blood and money to adopt a step-by-step attrition strategy, and the Ningbo Japanese had to pay a huge price for every section of their advance.

The Jinhua Japanese invaders also encountered the insistence of Zhang Lei's two regiments in the mining area, and attacked and resisted.

After three days of fighting, Sawada Shigeru had no choice but to order a retreat on all fronts.

Three days later, when Sawada Shigeru gathered his team to Shengzhou, Yoshida Shoichi lost more than a third, and only Wen Baoliang did not lose much.

An armored brigade was almost completely wiped out.

Armored brigades can only be called armored wings.

Sawada Shigeru slumped in his chair and sighed.

Now he must be pragmatic and must recognize the situation, he is no longer able to launch a large-scale attack on Zhang Lei, and can only hold on to Shengzhou. He regretted attacking Zhang Lei, and suffered huge losses every time he attacked, and when he thought of attacking Zhang Lei, his head hurt,

After this battle, the situation has undergone great changes, one has eliminated the other's strengths, the offensive and defensive trends have been exchanged, the two Tang Jian divisions of Tiantai have approached Shengzhou, the two regiments in the Huiji Mountains may rush out of the mountains at any time, Zhang Lei's main force in the direction of Wuyi has suppressed the main line, and Shengzhou is in a state of being trapped on three sides.

As soon as the Japanese invaders fully retreated, Zhang Lei accepted it as soon as he saw it.

Zhang Lei did not order further expansion of the results.

Since the situation of encircling the enemy in Shengzhou on three sides has been formed, there is no need to force an attack.

After all, in this operation, although the results were huge, the losses of the team were also extremely huge, and the ammunition consumption was very amazing, and it was in urgent need of replenishment and rest.

In Zhang Lei's view, without a month's rest and ammunition replenishment, it is impossible for combat strength to return to the pre-war level.

The most important point is that Zhang Lei doesn't want to take Shengzhou so quickly, because after Shengzhou is defeated, the team will face a situation where Jinhua and Ningbo are flanked by Japanese invaders. Zhang Lei likes to attack, not defend. The strength of the Japanese invaders is still there, and the defense will suffer greatly.

In Zhang Lei's mind, a new strategic concept has been formed, that is, to encircle the point to send reinforcements, and after the team is rested and replenished, in the future, he will make a big fuss about the enemy in Shengzhou, treat the enemy in Shengzhou as the enemy in the Wuyi mining area, train the troops, and fight a few ambushes when the Japanese invaders in the direction of Ningbo are reinforced. Through small fights, the living force of the Japanese invaders was gradually consumed, and when the conditions were right, they opened their big mouths again and ate all the enemies of Shengzhou in one bite.

That night, when Zhang Lei was lying in bed thinking about a new strategic concept, a villain in military uniform suddenly appeared in his brain.

Four small measuring columns appear at the same time to the left and right of the uniformed figure.

The villain in military uniform said loudly: "Report to the general, you have obtained a chance to be promoted through hard work, please ask where you want to upgrade." ”

Zhang Lei looked carefully at the four measuring columns, the energy value was 30, the detection value was 20, the self-protection value was 40, and the force value was 30.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Let's raise the energy value!" ”

The red liquid in the energy column rises one block upwards to 40.

The villain in military uniform smiled and said: "Report General, congratulations, you have reached a running speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and you can lift a thousand kilograms with both hands." ”

Just when Zhang Lei was smiling and extremely excited, someone knocked on the door, and Zhang Lei asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

"Me!" Shooting the moon replied in pain.
