Shigeru Sawada was shocked when he received Kojie's report. He is very aware of the role of Lishui in the entire battle situation, once Lishui is lost, Wuyi, Wenzhou, and Taizhou will not be able to be saved.

Shigeru Sawada looked at the map carefully, his face extremely solemn.

The first order he gave was to bomb the enemy in Yeosu. The second order issued was that the Japanese army in Wuyi and Wenzhou moved closer to Lishui and attacked the enemy in Lishui.

All this was expected, and Zhang Lei's entire plan of action was to surround the point and send reinforcements.

The only way to fight planes is to use missiles, and Zhang Lei needs to sit at the station to command, so there is no way for Japanese planes to fight.

Fortunately, a sufficient number of Japanese planes had been destroyed in the early stage, and the number of planes sent by Sawada Shigeno was limited, and it was unlikely to have much impact on the entire battle situation.

At noon, Zhang Lei asked Wang Yueying to turn on the transmitter.

The ministries sent telegrams announcing the good news.

After Zhang Lei saw it, he was very happy, and replied to the telegram with this sentence: "Congratulations! Execute as planned! ”

As the campaign was being performed according to the predetermined plan, Zhang Lei no longer issued new combat orders and left all units to complete the combat tasks independently.

How easy is it for the Wuyi Division to reinforce Lishui? Tens of thousands of mines were planted on various roads alone. The Wuyi Japanese Kou Division was blocked on the road and could not advance or retreat. Tang Jian's division already has enough firepower to fight against the Wuyi Japanese Army, Tang Jian's division is fighting against the Japanese army on the preset battlefield, the Japanese army has no fortifications to rely on, and the Tang Jian's division not only has mines to block the enemy, but also builds strong fortifications in advance, this kind of war is seriously unequal between the two sides, the first wave of attacks of the Wuyi Japanese army was frustrated, and the casualties are constantly expanding.

The Wenzhou Japanese Brigade was relatively complete, but due to the long distance, on the way in, the New Fourth Army implemented a strategy of gradual attrition, and all the roads were destroyed in advance, and the Wenzhou Japanese Brigade was able to advance twenty or thirty miles a day, but at the speed of thirty miles a day, they rushed to Lishui, and the Lishui Japanese invaders had already been trapped and killed.

Sawada Shigeru ordered the Wuyi Division and the Wenzhou Brigade to arrive in Lishui within three days.

The Wuyi Division reported that all roads from Wuyi to Lishui were buried with a large number of mines, and they encountered strong resistance from the main force, with heavy casualties, and there was no way to arrive on time.

The Wenzhou brigade reported that the roads were all destroyed, and the New Fourth Army had a main force intercepting along the road, suffering heavy casualties, and the troops could not arrive on time.

Sawada Shigeru threw away the telephone, sat down in the chair, hugged his head, and his brain started urgently, what should I do?

This battle happened too suddenly, from the perspective of the entire war situation, is gradually becoming stable, the main forces in various places did not launch an offensive, and Wuyi Lishui and Wenzhou did not find any signs of army mobilization, according to the usual and theoretical strength, at least two armies must be mobilized to carry out offensive operations on such a long front at the same time. In Sawada Shigeru's view, Lishui** is just a miscellaneous brand, thinking that when Xiaojijiang was transferred to Lishui, Xiaofunijiang was beaten so badly by Zhang Lei, Lishui** was not able to defend Lishui, how could Lishui** become stronger overnight?

Where else did so many New Fourth Army come from? Did they pop out of nowhere? The New Fourth Army and the Third Theater are mortal enemies, how can they suddenly launch a joint offensive operation?

Who is commanding the campaign?

Sawada Shigeru felt dizzy, in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battlefield, for the first time to encounter this situation, ** actually used three miscellaneous divisions to unite with the New Fourth Army to launch a powerful attack on one division and two brigades.

Yeosu is at stake. Sawada Shigeru can't pull out more army rescue, and the Jinhua and Lanxi armies are also confronting **, and they can't be deployed.

Shigeru Sawada could only put pressure on the Wuyi Division and the Wenzhou Brigade to speed up.

Sawada Shigeru made a big mistake and seriously underestimated the strength of Wuyi's ** Division and the strength of Wang Qiang's New Fourth Army. The Wuyi ** Division has the same firepower as the remnant division of the Wuyi Rikou Division, the Wuyi ** Division has laid tens of thousands of mines on the road, and the Wuyi ** Division has built strong fortifications in advance, and has long been deployed in place as planned.

Sawada Shigeru ordered the Wuyi Japanese Invaders to attack, which was equivalent to driving the Takeshi Warriors into the Ghost Gate. The battle in front of the position of the Wuyi ** Division was very fierce, the Japanese invaders carried forward the spirit of bushido, charged desperately with bayonets, and the Wuyi ** Division used cannons and heavy machine guns to harvest the lives of the little devils. Of course, there will be positions that will be captured by the Japanese invaders, but with the support of artillery fire, the positions will be quickly recaptured.

On the line between Wuyi and Lishui, the battle was the most intense, and artillery fire was everywhere in an area of several tens of square kilometers.

On the third day, Zhang Lei received a report from Tang Jian, the commander of the Wuyi ** Division, that the Japanese attack was too fierce, and although a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed, the casualties of his own team were also expanding.

Zhang Lei immediately ordered Lynch and Zhang Liangen to outflank the rear of the Wuyi Japanese Kou Division and attack from east to west.

As soon as Zhang Lei's four bazookas were in place, the Wuyi Japanese invaders immediately weakened their offensive and showed signs of defeat. Zhang Lei's bazooka comes from modern times, and the key is to use cluster rockets that even surpass modern technology.

When Lynch's Einsatzgruppen fired cluster rockets at the Japanese invaders, the Japanese had no idea where the rockets were coming from.

The weapons of Zhang Liangen's special combat company are also quite advanced, and their firepower is also quite fierce. Under the blows of these two teams, how could the Wuyi Japanese Invaders still hold up? Staying where you are is death, and running away is the way to live.

The Japanese invaders in Wenzhou were hit by the New Fourth Army's resistance step by step, and the casualties were already very large, and they suddenly received a report that Wenzhou City was attacked by the main force.

The Wenzhou Japanese Brigade hurriedly retreated, wanting to go back to save Wenzhou City.

It's okay not to rescue, a big problem was rescued, the New Fourth Army was beaten behind the buttocks, but the direction of Wenzhou was blocked by **, and it was attacked before and after.

On the fifth day, the commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese invaders found that if this continued, not only would they not be able to protect Xiaojijiang, but even the Wuyi Division and Wenzhou Brigade would be eaten, so he could only order Xiaojijiang to break through in the direction of Wenzhou.

On the eighth day, the Xiaojijiang Brigade and the Wenzhou Brigade converged together to forcibly break through in the direction of Wenzhou, Zhang Lei felt that the goal of the battle had been achieved, in order to avoid causing greater losses to the ** and the New Fourth Army, he ordered to get out of the way and let the two brigades retreat into Wenzhou City.

When these two brigades retreated into Wenzhou City, they blocked the route from Wenzhou to Lishui and trapped the two Japanese invaders by the sea.

At this time, the Wenzhou Japanese Brigade and the Xiaojijiang Brigade combined were less than two-thirds of the brigade's military strength, which means that both brigades were disabled.

The Wuyi Division was also forced to retreat.

A vast area centered on Yeosu was liberated.

Zhang Lei ordered Lishui ** Qian Jitong to send two regiments close to Wuyi to guard the south gate of Wuyi, and prevent Wuyi from expanding to the southeast. The Wuyi Rikou Division was still nominally called a division, but now it can only be called a wing.

** and the New Fourth Army were captured quite a lot, and their strength was further strengthened in the war.

When the Third Theater Commander's Department received Zhang Lei's telegram and saw such a huge result, the entire Commander's Department was boiling.

Gu Zhutong hurriedly reported the good news to Chongqing. When Chongqing learned of the news, it immediately spread the news through the media, and the whole of China was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

Gu Zhutong sent a telegram to Zhang Lei that a large number of reporters in Chongqing would fly to Lishui with Gu Zhutong to work with him, and hoped that Zhang Lei would be ready to be interviewed by reporters.
