Chapter 655: Strangling in the bud

Okamura Ninji vaguely feels that something big is coming, but he doesn't know what the problem is, and fear often stems from the unknown.

Okamura Ninji ordered Kinoshita to quickly organize a staff team to conduct a military chess deduction, and he must find out Qin Feng's true intentions in the fastest time.

When Okamura Ninji changed into his military uniform and arrived at the war room, the war games had already begun.

The role of wargame deduction is to deduce the simulated war between the two sides through the arrangement of troops and the use of battlefield resources, and then find the best strategy suitable for the war through the analysis and comparison of the commander's decision-making in the process of deduction.

There has been no result here, the latest news on the battlefield has come, the Chinese Army has broken through the 157th Division is defensive line, and the troops have begun to break through to the south.

At this time, the imperial army of Huangshan completely entered 30 kilometers north of Huangshan because of the encirclement and suppression of the Zhina army, and the defense line was chiseled through, and it had fallen behind the Zhina army, that is to say, the current strength of Huangshan was no longer enough to resist the pace of the Zhina army's advance, and after two hours, the Zhina army could easily occupy Huangshan or pass through Huangshan.

According to Okamura Ningji's thoughts, Qin Feng's intention was by no means to occupy, only possible to pass through, but after passing through Huangshan, he entered the Zhejiang area, and was still deep in the encirclement of the imperial army, but the area was wider, and the four divisions of the imperial army were completely left behind him, but as long as the imperial army increased troops to Quzhou and Shangrao, the Zhina army was still in the middle of the four cities of Huangshan, Jingdezhen, Quzhou, and Shangrao, and there was still no way to escape.

Okamura Ningji couldn't figure it out right here, was Qin Feng trying his best to jump from this encirclement to another?

Obviously impossible, could it be that his target is Quzhou? However, Quzhou and Huangshan are separated by more than 100 kilometers, not to mention that the Qingxiang plan has been implemented well in this area, and many artillery towers and sentry posts have been built, and it will take at least three days to march at full speed with the infantry, but the two garrisons of the imperial army in Hangzhou and Nanchang can be reached in one day through the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and the time for assembling and deploying trains will only take two days at most. It's too late to count the Chinese army.

If they take 10,000 steps back, even if the Chinese army occupies Quzhou, they will not be able to cross Shangrao and Yingtan, and the troops of Nanchang and Hangzhou will reach, and they will still have a dead end.

The war games continued to be deduced, assuming that the Fifth Army of the Shanggao Zhi Na Army and the 75th Army of the Gao An Zhi Na Army attacked Nanchang at the same time, holding the 104th Division of the Nanchang defenders, but the forces of Hangzhou could still be quickly put into the battlefield, and the Zhi Na Army was unstoppable.

Although Qin Feng had no chance of winning the deduction, Okamura still believed that Qin Feng's purpose was Quzhou, because there was no other way to enter this area.

In view of the fact that the failure of the first encirclement and suppression had become a fact, Okamura Ninji no longer dwelled on the reasons for the failure, and immediately ordered the 157th Division and the 140th Division to temporarily rest and recuperate, and then continue to advance the army when all the men and horses arrived. The 141st Division immediately retreated, and advanced rapidly south to Shangrao through Jingdezhen, blocking his rear road before the Chinese army reached Quzhou. The 156th Division entered Jingdezhen, and at the same time, it immediately sent a report on the battle situation to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters, requesting General Toshiroku Hata to immediately send the 133rd Division stationed in Hangzhou to aid Quzhou and nip all possibilities in the bud.

When all this was done, it was already dark, and the news from the front made Okamura Ningji feel even more tired, and the Chinese army left one division to garrison Jixi County, and at the cost of half a division's casualties, it blocked the imperial army's frantic attack for four hours, prompting the remaining five divisions to quickly loot Huangshan City, and then retreat south on the whole line.

Okamura Ningji's encirclement and suppression was almost completely defeated, not to mention the battle losses, the loss of strategic materials was hundreds of tons, and the entire southern Anhui region was turned upside down by the Chinese army, although it also annihilated 30,000 or 40,000 Chinese troops, but the difference from the expected effect was more than 108,000 miles.

Ten kilometers south of Huangshan, Qin Feng led the four squads of the special combat team, the Hurricane Detachment, the New Ninth Division, and the New Tenth Division, and was marching rapidly, fighting continuously and running for dozens of miles, and the soldiers were extremely tired, but they all knew that the Japanese army was not far from them, and danger existed at any time, so they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

Qin Feng's arrival gave them hope for life, and at the same time, Qin Feng also told them that as long as they entered Quzhou, they would be absolutely safe, and they had to hold on to breaking their legs in order to be responsible for their lives.

In order to avoid the bombing of the devil's planes, the troops were divided into three roads and marched in unison, Qin Feng led all the way to the center, Ding Chenglai took the new 7th Division and the new 8th Division on the right side, and Liu Jian took the new 11th Division and the new 12th Division on the left side.

The special combat team was divided into three, as the vanguard force, because the Japanese army had already established many artillery towers and sentry posts in this area, and the special combat team had excellent weapons in their hands, and the brick and stone turrets built in a hurry by the devils were just right to prevent the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army and the guerrillas behind enemy lines, but for the special combat team, it was also a matter of a bazooka.

In fact, the Japanese army's huge plan to clear the countryside did not have many devil soldiers, except for a few divisions and regiments that were frontally encircled and suppressed, there were only a small number of troops in the stable area. There are only one or two devil squadrons in a county town, and with the addition of the oversized brigades of the Imperial Cooperative Army, it is enough to deal with poorly equipped stragglers, but once they face several divisions of regular troops, they are purely looking for death if they do not retreat. Therefore, after trying to hold on to the two county seats, the Japanese army decisively let go of the main road, advanced one by one, and preserved its strength to hold Quzhou.

By noon, they had advanced 40 kilometers, but Japanese fighters and bombers also came and began to frantically strafe and bomb the soldiers who were running wildly.

In view of the fact that the soldiers were indeed exhausted, and the Japanese army did not keep up, it was estimated that they had suffered a lot of casualties and were exhausted in yesterday's battle, so Qin Feng decided that the troops would stop advancing and look for favorable terrain to avoid the Japanese planes. After that, try to rest during the day, and start a rapid march after dark. In this way, there will definitely be another day or two more in terms of time, but there is no way to do this, there are no anti-aircraft weapons against the Japanese planes at all, and they cannot always advance in the rain of bullets. In addition, more and more wounded soldiers in the army will drag down the entire army, and Qin Feng has no precedent of leaving behind wounded soldiers, so this is the only way.

After entering a forest, Qin Feng ordered the troops to seize the time to rest and settle the wounded at the same time.

Sitting on a big rock, Qin Feng asked Wang Dingyuan, who had been following him like a soldier, for a cigarette, and Zizidi smoked it.

"Boss, I heard that you don't usually smoke, once you smoke, there must be something troublesome that can't be solved, are you encountering any problems?" Wang Dingyuan asked flatteringly.
