Jin Zhao asked with a smile, "Then how did the chief of staff reply?" ”

Wen Yingxing said, "After the Battle of Huzhou, our army suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to rest, and the besieged Niudao detachment had not been eliminated, so it was temporarily unable to counterattack Shanghai!" ”

Jin Zhao nodded and said, "En! Lao Jiang still wants us to attack Shanghai, he really thinks that we are invincible supermen! By the way, what's going on with the Ushijima detachment? ”

"Ushijima Man, this old devil, is quite self-aware, and he knows that he can't break through, but he just blindly defends! However, after most of the day, we have almost played it, and now there are less than 2,000 remnants left, cowering in Changxing City! Stand by for help! Wen Yingxing said with a smile.

"Yes! Count this kid as acquaintances! Jin Zhao said with a smile, "What about the situation in Nanjing?" Did the army send troops south? ”

"Not yet?" Wen Yingxing shook his head and said.

At this moment, Xie Wanting suddenly ran over, "General seat, the Nanjing Headquarters is in an emergency, at present, the army has stopped its attack on Nanjing, and it seems that there is a big attempt to go south!" ”

"Oh!" Jin Zhao took the telegram and glanced at it, "The little devil finally can't sit still, inform Yun Yinglin and Fang Xianjue to increase the attack on the Niudao detachment, but make sure not to play them all to death before tomorrow!" Lao Tzu still wants to keep them to catch big fish! ”

"Yes!" Xie Wanting gave a military salute to Jin Zhao quickly, and then turned to leave.

Jin Zhao looked at the sand table in front of him and couldn't help frowning, at this time Wen Yingxing pointed to the sand table and said, "Now the 101st Division of the Army is stationed in Shanghai, the 3rd Division is in addition to the 68th Wing, the main force is left in Suzhou, the 13th Division is in Jiangyin, and the main force of the 11th Division has crossed the Yangtze River north and is attacking Yangzhou." The rest of the army was all concentrated under the city of Nanjing, including the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, the Yamada Detachment of the 13th Division of the Chinese Army, and the 68th Wing of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, with a total of about 100,000 Japanese troops! ”

Jin Zhao nodded noncommittally, and suddenly asked, "How is the current battle situation in Yangzhou?" Jin Zhao suddenly cared about the situation in Yangzhou, because the two divisions of the Fujian army led by Zhang Junsong, the 206th Division and the 207th Division, rushed to Yangzhou after withdrawing from the Songhu battlefield, and now they are the main force guarding Yangzhou.

Wen Yingxing shook his head and said, "After a series of battles, the 206th and 207th Divisions have suffered a lot of losses!" But fortunately, Zhang Junsong took the opportunity to gather a group of defeated troops, and now the total strength of the two divisions is still more than 30,000 people. However, in the face of the entire 11th Division of the Yue Army, plus a brigade of the 13th Division in Jiangyin, it is ready to reinforce Yangzhou at any time, so the situation in Yangzhou is still not optimistic. ”

Jin Zhao sighed helplessly and said, "Send a telegram to Senior Zhang and tell him that Yangzhou can abide by the rules, and if you can't keep it, give up!" After Jin Zhao threw down this sentence, he focused his attention on Nanjing City again, now there are about three divisions under Nanjing City, which is a force that should not be underestimated, if this army abandons Nanjing and goes south, it will also be a big trouble for the Fujian army. Will the army give up attacking Nanjing? Jin Zhao was really unsure in his heart.

Just when Jin Zhao frowned and pondered, Xu Wenqiang suddenly walked up to Jin Zhao and said, "There is news from Shanghai that the main force of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army is urgently assembling, as if it is going westward!" The news Xu Wenqiang got was naturally the news from the intelligence department arranged by Jin Zhao in Shanghai.

Jin Zhao couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he heard this, "Could it be that Matsui Shigen wants to deal with our 25th Group Army first?" There are the main forces of the 101st Division and the 3rd Division in Shanghai and Suzhou, plus the remnants of the 18th Division and the 114th Division, and at least 70,000 troops. Jin Zhao only now realized the seriousness of the matter. Although Jin Zhao had planned to fish, if the fish was too big, it was likely to break the rod.

"Although the current intention of the army is not obvious, we have to guard against it!" Wen Yingxing said with a sigh.

Jin Zhao nodded, and suddenly said with a serious face, "Order the 211th Division to retreat to Jiaxing, the 210th Division will continue to confront the Yue Army, and the main force of the 205th Division will withdraw to Huzhou at night to stand by!" ”

That night, Jin Zhao got the news that the 9th Division and the 15th Division of the Army suddenly moved south to help the besieged Ushijima detachment in Changxing! Outside the city of Nanjing, only one Yamada detachment and the 68th Wing and other units were left to contain the defenders of Nanjing. At the same time, the main force of the 101st Division of the Chinese Army marched out of Shanghai to Songjiang, and the main force of the Third Division of the Chinese Army left Suzhou to join the remnants of the 18th Division and the 114th Division. At the same time, a brigade of the 13th Division of the Chinese Army in Jiangyin was also urgently transferred to Wuxi, the purpose of which was unknown.

Listening to the information coming from the front line, Jin Zhao couldn't help frowning, "Damn! It's big this time! After the Battle of Huzhou, Jin Zhao was still thinking about what to do next in order to relieve the siege of Nanjing. But now the little devil has solved this trouble for him, as if in the battle of Huzhou, the 10th Army of the Yue Army was almost completely annihilated, which has completely angered the Yue Army, and now the Yue Army is coming at him with great momentum.

"The army now wants to attack from both sides and completely solve the main force of our Fujian army to get rid of future troubles!" Wen Yingxing also frowned and said.

The corners of Jin Zhao's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, "Then I want to see how capable the little devil is!" Order the 202nd and 212th Divisions to launch a full-scale attack on the Ushijima detachment! Be sure to settle the battle before dawn! "Now that the fish has been baited, there is no need to keep the bait of the Ushijima detachment, clean up the battlefield first, and make room for the next round of attacks by the little devils.

At this time, Ushijima Man's Ushijima detachment was left with less than 2,000 people, cowering in Changxing City, facing the siege of our two main divisions, Ushijima detachment was completely annihilated, and the desperate Ushijima committed suicide by seppuku in his headquarters.

After the total annihilation of the Niudao detachment, Jin Zhao immediately ordered the 212th Division to return to Yixing, while the 202nd Division rushed to Liyang overnight. At this time, the 15th Division of the Yue Army had just passed through Jintan and was advancing towards Yixing. After several hours of fierce fighting, the 9th Division successfully captured Lishui, and then rushed straight to Liyang.

At this time, the 101st Division of the Eastern Road Army had also successfully captured Songjiang. After the remnants of the 18th Division and the 114th Division were strengthened by the main force of the 3rd Division, they immediately became confident and began to move. In the face of the current critical situation, even Jin Zhao couldn't help but feel a headache, Nanjing was temporarily saved, but the little devils were coming at him, how could he break the two-sided attack of the little devils?
