Chairman Jiang wanted to eat the 10th Peituan of Little Japan, and Xue Yue wanted to do it even more.

Ever since the defeat in the Battle of Lanfeng, Xue Yue had been holding his breath.

In fact, at the beginning, Xue Yue did not agree with the judgment of Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi, believing that even if the gap between the Ruiwu Road and the Nanxun Line had been expanded in the previous tug-of-war, it did not have the conditions for large-scale intersperse, because if Little Japan wanted to achieve large-scale detour from this gap, it was bound to throw away all the heavy equipment.

The march in the mountains is not a joke, you are a Da Luo Zhenxian and it is impossible to conjure a flat avenue in the deep mountains and old forests out of thin air, in the mountains, it is not easy for the troops to march on foot, let alone heavy equipment?

Without heavy equipment, little Japan's combat effectiveness would be seriously weakened.

Xue Yue didn't think that Okamura Ningji would be so crazy, so the Japanese troops interspersed were only one wing at most.

But Xue Yue wanted to fight a war of annihilation too much, and he wanted to eat a formed Japanese army too much, so even though there was only one infantry brigade of the Japanese army interspersed in the middle of the outer eight characters, Xue Yue also decided to mobilize heavy troops and eat this interspersed army of small Japan with a thunderous momentum, Xue Yue needed a hearty victory too much.

Xue Yue transferred Ou Zhen's 4th Army, Li Yutang's 8th Army, Li Hansoul's Army, Ye Zhao's UU Army, and Yu Jishi's 74th Army in one go, and the five armies launched a centripetal attack on Longtouling and Yunju Mountain from five directions, and more than 100,000 national troops formed a noosk in an instant, which was put around the neck of the Songpu Division.

Due to the desperate resistance of the 348th Regiment, the Songpu Division was delayed for half a day at Longtouling

This precious half day has also become a half day that decides the life and death of the Songpu Division, Wanjialing victory, the history books and the people only remember Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment that completed Zuihou's decision, but they don't know that if there were no other two troops, Zhang Lingfu would not have fought Zhang Gushan's glory at all, and even the ending of the Battle of De'an would have to be rewritten.

The 348th Regiment was one of them, and he dragged down the Matsuura Division at the cost of the death of the entire regiment.

By the time the L13th Infantry Wing had made great efforts to defeat the 348th Regiment, two battalions of Ou Zhen's 4th Army had already appeared near Changling, at this time Iino Kenten still did not feel the danger, and insisted on attacking Changling, and the L13th Infantry Wing attacked Changling for half a day, and finally broke through the national defense line until dark.

Although the Changling defense line was broken, what worried Iino Kenten was that the opposing national army was fighting more and more, and at the beginning, the national army was only one regiment at most, and by the evening, the strength of the opposite national army had been strengthened to one division, and the national army even began to divide its troops on both flanks in a roundabout way, trying to intercept the back of the Iino wing.

Kenten Iino didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the situation to Junrokuro Matsuura.

It gets dark relatively early in the mountains, and as soon as the sun goes down, the light in the mountains dims, and Junrokuro Matsuura can clearly see the marks on the map with the help of a flashlight.

By this time, Junrokuro Matsuura had already moved his division headquarters to the vicinity of Nagaridge.

Looking at the blue arrows marked by the combat staff officers on the map representing the offensive of the national army, Junrokuro Matsuura finally felt the seriousness of the situation, and the national army that appeared near Wanjialing, Longtouling, and Changling was by no means only one division, and there were several divisions of the national army that had already been proven, and there were still many national army divisions whose numbers had not yet been discovered.

What made Matsuura Junrokuro even more worried was that these national armies had faintly formed an encirclement posture for the Matsuura Division.

Junrokuro Matsuura knew very well that his troops did not carry heavy equipment, and the military supplies only brought seven days of combat, and if he was caught off guard by the national army, he could play a decisive role, but if he was trapped in this mountain by the national army, then his 15,000 army would definitely not last long.

However, Matsuura Junrokuro was puzzled that the reaction of the national army was inevitably too fast

"Yaga Yalu, Yaga Yalu" Junrokuro Matsuura looked at the map, and suddenly lost his temper, "This is not in line with common sense, this is completely unreasonable, less than eight hours have passed since the whereabouts of our army were exposed, and this little time is not even enough for the commander of the Zhi Na Army to make a clear tactical judgment, how could the Zhi Na Army react so quickly and launch a centripetal attack on our division from all directions?" It's totally counterintuitive, so counterintuitive."

Junrokuro Matsuura roared as he tore the map in front of him into countless pieces, for this map, Junrokuro Matsuura had had enough, if it weren't for this map, how could the 10th Peituan Five-Way Column go in the wrong direction? How can you get lost? If it weren't for this map, the 10th Pei Regiment would have captured Mahuiling by now, and even captured De'an.

Chief of Staff Yoshitaka Akiyama persuaded: "Division commander, the current situation is very serious, the Chinese army has discovered our army and reacted quickly, if our army continues to attack and advance in the direction of Dean, it will inevitably fall into the heavy encirclement of the Chinese army, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the Chinese army has not yet taken shape, turn around as soon as possible, and lean towards the first division." ”

Junrokuro Matsuura couldn't help but hesitate, if he retreated at this time and turned to the first division, it would mean the complete failure of this interspersed operation, and Commander Okamura couldn't help but be disappointed, and his own resume would also leave an indelible stain, from an emotional point of view, Junrokuro Matsuura would never want to transfer.

But reason tells Matsuura that if he doesn't get to the Honma division as soon as possible, there is a real possibility that the Matsuura division will be destroyed

The "division commander" saw that Junrokuro Matsuura was still hesitating, and Akiyama Yoshitaka was a little anxious, and said, "There is an old saying in Shina, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood." ”

Xue Yue's determination was exchanged for an unexpected gain.

As the contact between the Nationalist army and the Japanese army became more frequent, and the fighting became more and more intense, the situation became clearer and clearer, and the truth of the facts gradually surfaced.

Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the 1st Corps, looked at the small red and blue flags densely scattered on the sand table, and said to Xue Yue excitedly: "General, the situation is already very clear, the small Japan that has penetrated into the Wanjialing and Changling areas has at least four or more infantry wings, four infantry wings, that is a division of the first class."

Senior generals such as Wu Qiwei, Shang Zhen, and Li Hansoul were also excited.

Although so far, the Nationalist army has not yet figured out the intentions of small Japan, and has not even determined whether the number of this Japanese army is the 10th Pei Regiment, but it is an indisputable fact that at least four infantry wings of Japanese troops appeared in the area of Wanjialing and Changling, and what is particularly gratifying is that the Nationalist army will soon form an encirclement of these four infantry wings.

In addition to being excited, Wu Qiwei and others couldn't help but admire Xue Yue's decisiveness and boldness.

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, it really took courage to mobilize heavy troops to carry out an encirclement operation against the small Japanese without fully understanding the size of their forces and their intentions, and if this was a trick played by Okamura Ninji to mobilize the national army to reduce the pressure on the frontal Japanese army, and thus cause irreparable impact, then Xue Yue should bear the main responsibility.

In other words, none of Wu Qiwei, Shang Zhen, Li Hansoul and others would dare to make such a determination.

But Xue Yue dared to make such a determination, even if there was only one infantry brigade of the Japanese army interspersed, Xue Yue did not hesitate to mobilize more than a dozen divisions to encircle and suppress it

Xue Yue's decisiveness saved valuable time for the national army.

Based on Xue Yue's irresistible will, the commanders of the 4th Army, the 8th Army, the 1st Army, the UU Army and the 74th Army also let go of their hands and feet, and quickly approached the Wanjialing and Changling areas from all directions without waiting to find out the details of the Japanese army.
