Back at the headquarters of the Third Infantry Division in Tongxiang County, Ye Feng had just finished taking a sip of tea, and Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan said eagerly: "Junzao, are you really going to fight Jiaxing?" ”

Ye Feng nodded, and said with a full sense of anger: "I think the time is completely ripe to recover Jiaxing, after we recover Jiaxing, we can recover the state in the north and attack Shanghai in the east." ”

Hearing that there was another battle, Guo Weiquan was excited, and said happily: "Junzao, great, there has been no large-scale battle for a long time, and the whole heart has been faint in the past few months. ”

Ye Feng smiled and said, "There is no need to mobilize heavy troops, at most two or three divisions are enough." ”

Hearing this, Guo Weiquan looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, in Guo Weiquan's opinion, once the new 6th Division attacked the Botian Detachment, the battle was inevitable, and the Japanese troops in Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai and other places would flock in, and an unprecedented war would break out again.

Guo Weiquan saw that Ye Feng had no intention of mobilizing heavy troops, and he was a little anxious, pointing to a map of the headquarters of the Third Infantry Division and said: "Military seat, Jiaxing is not far from Wuxi, Suzhou, and Shanghai, and there has been no major war for more than half a year, and the Japanese army has taken the opportunity to repair, strengthen or widen the roads and railways between these cities, in addition, the Japanese army in this area is equipped with a large number of trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, and a large number of heavy equipment, which is not comparable to the small Japanese divisions in other places. The strength of three divisions ......"

Guo Weiquan did not continue, the meaning was obvious. If only two or three divisions were dispatched, a large number of Japanese divisions would flock to it, and they would be very passive. It would have been very hasty to mobilize troops.

In order to guard against the new 6th Army, Okamura Ninji stationed heavy troops in these cities along the Yangtze River Delta, and the weapons and equipment were also good, equipped with trucks, armored vehicles, tanks, and even some Japanese troops were equipped with anti-armor combat defense guns.

For quick maneuvering between cities. The little devils repaired and widened the roads between the cities, creating a network of roads that extend in all directions, and equipped with a large number of trucks. Once a war breaks out, Japanese divisions between cities can quickly maneuver and reinforce quickly.

In addition, there are some large cities that are connected by rail. It was more convenient for the Japanese units to reinforce each other. Once the newly formed 6th Army attacked the Potian detachment, a large number of Japanese troops would be reinforced to the Jiaxing area.

Okamura Ninji made a lot of money to prevent the new 6th Army, and Okamura Ninji was also much smarter than his predecessor Matsui Ishone, with a good strategic vision, and he knew that the Japanese troops in each city echoed each other and reinforced each other.

Guo Wei could think of it, Ye Feng naturally thought of it, and Ye Feng naturally knew that once the war broke out in the Jiaxing area. A large number of Japanese troops will come.

Ye Feng smiled and said confidently: "Chief of Staff Guo." If we can quickly eliminate the Botian detachment in the area of Jiaxing in a blitzkrieg, and we have already recovered Jiaxing before the little devil troops in the rest of the cities barely react, what do you think will happen? ”

Blitzkrieg?

Seeing Guo Weiquan's suspicious face, Ye Feng nodded, Ye Feng believed that Guo Weiquan understood what he meant.

Sure enough, after Guo Weiquan thought about it, he clapped his hands happily and said, "Junzao, you are really too clever, so we did it." ”

"Hmm." Ye Feng nodded, and said: "Order the First Armored Division and the Third Infantry Division to prepare for battle, and three days later, we will blitz the Botian detachment." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange the military seat immediately, this time I'm going to stay at the scene in Tongxiang and see our first blitzkrieg with my own eyes." Guo Weiquan said happily.

Ye Feng also had this meaning, and was ready to go to the front line in person to see his first blitzkrieg.

……

The Potian detachment was a notorious unit that participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, and had previously fought with the new 6th Army, but it did not take advantage of the slightest, but killed thousands of people.

The Hatada detachment consisted of the Taiwanese Army and was led by Japanese Major General Hakuda Shigeichi. The Taiwan Army was a garrison unit stationed in Taiwan during the period of Japanese rule. It is mainly composed of retired Japanese soldiers in Taiwan and some active duty soldiers, and some Taiwanese have also entered the garrison, gradually becoming the main body of lower-level soldiers, but the officers are still all Japanese.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, this Taiwanese army entered the war for the first time, and on September 6, the Taiwanese army crossed the Huangpu River, landed at Yangshupu, and then attacked in the direction of Jiangwan.

On 7 September, the Taiwan Army was reorganized into the Shigeto Detachment with the 1st and 2nd Wings under the Taiwan Garrison Command, the Taiwan Mountain Artillery Wing, the newly formed Taiwan 1st and 2nd Health Teams, the Taiwan Temporary Automobile Team, and the 1st and 2nd Taiwan Transport and Surveillance Teams, with Major General Chiaki Shigeto as the detachment leader. Judging from the composition of its troops, it is an independent combat unit with a relatively high degree of synthesis. The total number of posts is about 14,000. It is equivalent to the strength of half a division of Japan or a division of the National Revolutionary Army.

On September 9, the Shigeto Detachment was officially assigned to the Shanghai Dispatch Army. On February 15, 38, Japan revoked the establishment of the Fifth Army, and on the 22nd, the Shigeto Detachment was transferred to the Central China Front, and Shigeichi Hawada replaced Chiaki Shigedo as the detachment leader. The Shigedo Detachment was officially renamed the Hatada Detachment.

In Jiaxing City, Botian Headquarters.

This morning, Shigeichi Harata received reports from a number of subordinate units that there seemed to be a lot of armored units of the new 6th Army in the area of Tongxiang County, and the new 6th Army seemed to be attacking itself.

The two armies had been facing each other for several months, and in the past, both sides had stood still, and Harata Shigeichi knew that sooner or later there would be a day of great war.

"Your Excellency Detachment Leader, do you want to report the situation to Your Excellency Okamura Ninji." The chief of staff of the devil next to him suggested.

Ha Tian Shigeichi shook his hand and said slowly, "Don't worry." ”

Now there is only a little sign to report to Okamura Ninji, which is really a big fuss. In addition, there are several highways leading to nearby cities in Jiaxing, and there is even a railway to Shanghai, so if the war breaks out, a large number of reinforcements will arrive quickly.

The Botian detachment had been replenished with more than 14,000 men, and was armed with twelve 105 mm guns, an anti-tank anti-aircraft artillery squadron, and a tank squadron.

In the view of the Potian detachment, when the big war breaks out, if you can't resist it, it's not too late to ask for help, anyway, the roads and railways extend in all directions, and it won't be long before reinforcements arrive.

……

In the past few days, Ye Feng and Guo Wei have all stayed in Tongxiang County, personally commanding the First Armored Division and the Third Infantry Division participating in the battle, a large number of trucks have been prepared, these large trucks are obviously ready to transport the soldiers of the Third Infantry Division, there are so many large trucks, a large number of soldiers, and a large number of weapons and equipment can quickly reach Jiaxing.

"Throne, everything is ready, as long as you give the order, we can launch a lightning attack on the Potian detachment." Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan was full of confidence.

Ye Feng nodded and gave an order: "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock we will attack on time and quickly eliminate the Botian detachment."

The next day, on the highway leading to Jiaxing in Tongxiang County, a long tank force is moving, this is a huge armored force, hundreds of tanks form a torrent of steel, the momentum is violent, the tanks in front have left Tongxiang County for two or three kilometers, and some tanks in the back have not left Tongxiang County.

This is Sun Yougen's first armored division, Tongxiang County to Jiaxing there is a highway to connect, but at present this road is controlled by China and Japan half of each, the tank group of the first armored division in accordance with Ye Feng's order along this road to take the lead in attacking.

The dozen or so tanks at the front of the line looked a little different, they were clearly not M4 Shermans, they looked larger, more powerful, thicker armored, thicker barrels, and more ferocious firepower.

These dozen tanks, taking the lead, kicked up the dust in the sky and drove at high speed. Behind these tanks are a large number of M4 Sherman tanks, the long tank line is not visible at a glance, so many tanks are moving, dusty, and they look very spectacular and amazing.
