With the entry of the 2nd Army, the 3rd Division of the South China Front wanted to capture Yanrui and thus join the 13th Division.

Now there are only two roads left in front of Zhengsan by the river, one is to learn from the three military infantry brigades, reoccupy Yushan, and gradually threaten Shangrao, and it is possible to recapture Shangrao and Yingtan again. In that case, the Japanese army would be able to once again grasp the initiative in the Northeast Jiangxi Battlefield and even the Northeast Fujian Battlefield, so as to maintain a three-sided encirclement posture against the Cadet Army. However, as the Second Army and the Third Army have formed a unified defense line, especially in the front line with Yanrui and Qunli as the front end, it has formed a strong force in terms of troops, and if Hebian Shozo chooses this road, there is basically no possibility of success.

After the Yushan offensive and defensive battles and the Yanrui defensive battles, the situation on the Yushan-Jiangshan battlefield became favorable to the student army. After grasping the initiative on the battlefield, it was only a matter of time before the Cadet Army launched a war of annihilation against the 3rd Division and the 13th Division. Of course, the reason why Li Hansoul and Zhang Da were slow to make up their minds and launch a tough attack was because of the uncertainty of the 9th Division.

The 9th Division was like a cunning fox, leading the Fourth Army to turn in circles in the mountainous areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, and as the most well-organized of the three divisions so far, its role is likely to affect the final impact of the entire battle situation.

The battle report of the Battle of Yanrui was delivered to Ouyang Yun, and he was doing war chess deduction with Liu Yuqing in the command car at that time. At this time, the 10th Division was playing the role of pursuing the 9th Division, marching on the way from Dahou Mountain to Yangdian. Hearing the news that the 3rd Regiment of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Third Army had almost wiped out the entire army but had also annihilated three times the Japanese army, he and Liu Yuqing glanced at each other and were in awe.

Liu Yuqing said: "This Fu Yangtze River is not simple, in the absence of dangerous terrain and no air and ground support, he led a lone army to kill so many devils. This, this is simply a miracle. ”

Ouyang Yun nodded, and then said to Chen Shichang: "Immediately draft an order to award the 3rd Regiment the title of 'Yanrui Hero Regiment'." Other. The 3 regiments were awarded collective second-class merit, and the survivors were all recorded as special merit once, and the regiment commander paid the first-class Great Wall Medal of the Yangtze River, and the others were awarded the second-class Great Wall Medal. Pass my order and immediately ask Li Ziwen to rush to Yanrui with the film crew to make a documentary. ”

"Yes!" Chen Shichang saluted, then got into the back of the command vehicle and began to draw up a message.

The battle that took place at the junction of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi had completely exceeded Ouyang Yun's expectations, and it was also contrary to his original intention. Originally, they just wanted to attack and harass and train their troops by the way to provide cover for the Taiwan landing battle, but now, this can be regarded as a serious battle, and not only that, but the troops and financial resources invested by both sides have also reached the standard of a large-scale battle. Ouyang Yun was suddenly a little worried that because of the blow suffered by the South China Front, would it not promote the process of Sino-Japanese peace talks, and if it changed the course of Chinese history during World War II, and even changed the entire situation in Asia during World War II, then it would definitely not be a good thing for China.

At that time, Japan's eventual defeat had a lot to do with its challenge to the United States. Although Ouyang Yun didn't want to admit it, the fact was that if it weren't for the United States declaring war on Japan and sending troops to Asia, the War of Resistance Against Japan would inevitably have to last longer, and even fall into a long-term stalemate.

In the face of the propaganda reports in the newspapers in black and white, it was said that the Cadet Army had exchanged more than 3,500 Japanese troops with 1,000 troops, and the entire land of China was boiling. There are believers and unbelievers, and in stark contrast is the silence of the Japanese army and the Central Army on this matter. And as Shozo Kawabe, Richiro Katayama and Izumo Daisa, the Japanese generals involved in this battle were recalled to China, and then they were brought to court-martial, the authenticity of this battle was confirmed by well-informed people, and then another round of student soldier fever was set off across the country - more aspiring young people and people with lofty ideals who wanted to serve the country and the army took the road to the south and began to travel thousands of miles to Guangdong, also wanting to become a glorious student soldier.

It has been three days since Ouyang Yun led his troops and enrolled in the Tenth Division, and the Eleventh and Twelfth Divisions had already broken away from contact with the Tenth Division, but what made Ouyang Yun and Liu Yuqing feel uneasy was that Okuichiro and his 9th Division did not appear as scheduled. Nearly 30,000 devils seemed to have evaporated from the mountains, not only out of sight of the scouts, but also from the reconnaissance planes in the sky.

The strategy of releasing the 10th Division to lure the 9th Division to attack was thought up by Jiang Guangnai, who was worried at this time, and doubted that Okuichiro was eyeing the 12th Division. If Okuichiro divides part of his forces to cut off the communication line between the 10th Division and the 12th Division, and then attacks the 12th Division with heavy troops, then he does not dare to guarantee that the 12th Division can be like the 3rd Regiment of the Infantry Brigade with one enemy and three enemies. According to Jiang Guangnai's plan, the 12th Division was to make a gesture of attacking Longquan and pinching the rear of the Japanese army, so that Okuichiro felt that there was an opportunity. For this reason, the 12th Division has made great progress all the way, and has now arrived at Qingjing, which is less than 30 kilometers away from Longquan.

Jiang Guangnai and Ouyang Yun have always maintained telegraph contact, and they will exchange battlefield information through telegrams every twelve hours, and now, Jiang Guangnai's worries are exactly what Ouyang Yun is worried about.

Ouyang Yun looked at the location of the three divisions of the Fourth Army on the sand table, and was very worried about the 12th Division that was hanging away, and he said to himself: "Where did the 9th Division go?" ”

Liu Yuqing touched his chin and said, "Will Okuichiro play the previous set and have already killed the Quzhou battlefield?" If that's the case, then Commander Zhang and they will be in danger. ”

Zhang Da's Xuesan Army was responsible for blocking the 13th Division's retreat to Quzhou, and they originally had a strength advantage in the face of the Quzhou defenders, but once the 9th Division entered, they would not only lose this advantage, but also risk being surrounded and annihilated.

The current situation on the battlefield in Quzhou is quite complicated, and small battles occur every hour, among them, the Yushan direction has already controlled the situation, while the Quzhou direction is out of a state of parity. With the entry of the Japanese air force, the battle situation on this battlefield has become more and more complicated, and it has far exceeded Ouyang Yun's initial estimate.

"We can only let the 11th Division get as close as possible to the 12th Division, Okuichiro really dares to break away from the southern battlefield and intervene in Quzhou, then we can at most give up attacking Quzhou and let the three armies turn into a defensive posture. Then it's good to really attack Longquan, as long as Longquan is taken, it will be impossible for Okuichiro to wander around the Manchu world as irregularly as before - he can't give up the entire southwest of Zhejiang, right? This is what you call yours, and I will hit mine. ”

"Commander, this hand is high."

While Ouyang Yun and Liu Yuqing were discussing the possible location of the 9th Division, the 9th Division had already appeared in Heping Village, Zhoucun Township, about 50 kilometers northwest of Qingjing.

After a long journey of nearly ten days, the Japanese army was already running out of supplies, and in order to achieve the purpose of supplying on the spot and concealing his whereabouts, Okuichiro issued a cruel order to clear the countryside. The so-called Qingxiang Order was more cruel than the well-known three-light policy of that time and space, because the Japanese army not only targeted things, but also did not spare people. The order began yesterday, and the 9th Division patronized five large villages and two small Zhuangzi in one day, killing all the local villagers in each place, using the villagers' finances for military purposes, and causing great damage to the people's livelihood in southwest Zhejiang. It is precisely because of the implementation of the "Township Cleansing Order" that the grassroots intelligence network that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Fox Tong has worked hard to build at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang has been uprooted, and many down-line intelligence officers have been killed, which directly led to the Cadet Army falling into an intelligence blind spot in this area - this is also the main reason why Jiang Guangnai's troops lost the Japanese army.

In a private house in Heping Village, Ichiro Okuhiro was giving a lecture to a senior officer of the 9th Division. With a telegram in his hand, he said loudly: "This information has been confirmed, Ouyang Yun, the greatest enemy of the empire, is now in the frontline troops of the Zhina, and if I am not bad, it is very likely that he is in the Fourth Army of Xue, which has been chasing us." Just now, Akino Shaoza sent back a telegram that the 12th Division of the Fourth Army had appeared in Qingjing, so combined with the telegram sent back by Shimoi Shaozo not long ago, we can learn that it is at least three hours away from the 10th Division. As we analyzed a few days ago, the reason why the Chinese people wanted to divide their troops was obviously to lure us to attack one part of it, and then in turn to surround our army. Although there is still no trace of the 11th Division of Xue, which disappeared with the 12th Division, it is certain that it should be active on the line from Dahou Mountain to Qingjing. Ouyang Yun likes to take risks, and on the other hand, the most dangerous of these three enemy forces is the lone infiltrated Twelfth Division, that is to say, Ouyang Yun is very likely to follow the Twelfth Division. However, the military headquarters of the Fourth Army and the 12th Division are mixed together, according to common sense, since the division already has a higher-level command system, it will not go in again, so Ouyang Yun should follow the 10th Division or the 11th Division. Speaking of this, Okuichiro glanced at everyone solemnly, and suddenly said loudly: "The people of Shina want to lure us to take the initiative to attack, then our imperial army will be as they wish." However, in terms of strategic purpose, we have made a slight modification, our purpose of this battle is not to annihilate how many people, but to kill Ouyang Yun - Gentlemen, in order to achieve this goal, some of us here must have to make sacrifices for it, and I hope you will be mentally prepared. Next, I will talk about the specific implementation plan ......"
