Jin Zhao picked up a cup of teacup next to him, took a sip of tea and continued, "It's just that Matsui Shigen may not have the courage to give up the Yamada detachment and other departments, although this batch of little devils is messy, but there is also a division of troops!" But if they did not give up, the next battle would inevitably degenerate into a tragic decisive battle, and the Japanese army would not be able to win at all. And even if we win, the losses will be very heavy. So if the little devil retreats at this time, it will be good for everyone. ”

"All good?" Lin Shaotang began to be puzzled again.

"Yes!" Jin Zhao nodded and said, "What do you think, as soon as the little devil runs, even if we take the opportunity to chase and kill all the way, the distance from Wuxi to Suzhou is dozens of miles, and it is impossible to leave all the little devils of the two main divisions, and the little devils can at least save the strength of one division." And we don't have to fight to the death with the three masters of the little devils, it will be easy to eliminate the Yamada detachment and other departments, wouldn't it be good for everyone! I really want to call this old devil Matsui Ishine now and persuade him to run away! Why bother to fight to break the net! ”

"......" Lin Shaotang was completely speechless, this commander-in-chief is really whimsical! Lin Shaotang thought for a while and then asked, "If the little devil doesn't run, can we only fight the little devil to the end?" ”

Jin Zhao couldn't help frowning, in fact, he has been thinking about this problem, he also wants to annihilate all the four divisions of the little devil in one fell swoop, if it is broken by each, Jin Zhao also has this certainty, but now it seems that such an idea can only be wishful thinking, at least the 3rd Division and the 9th Division of the Japanese Army have now been held together, and now the situation is unfavorable to the Japanese army, it is impossible for Matsui Shigen to divide the troops and give the Fujian army a chance to break through, if Matsui Shigen has not realized the strong strength of the Fujian army now, That's not arrogance, it's stupidity! "Little devil if you don't run. Then let's destroy the Yamada detachment first! Jin Zhao sighed and said casually.

At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly came over with a telegram, Xu Wenqiang, who had been with Jin Zhao, saw this, greeted him, took the telegram carefully, and said excitedly, "The front line of the headquarters is good, the independent brigade has broken through the Japanese defense line, and now it is rushing to Wuxi." The 202nd and 205th Divisions had also broken through the Japanese defense line and advanced to Changzhou and Danyang respectively. Most of the Japanese 15th Division was annihilated, and the 212th Division was encircling and annihilating the remnants of the Japanese army. ”

"Good!" Jin Zhao couldn't help but applaud loudly. To be honest, Jin Zhao didn't expect to destroy the 15th Division so quickly, although the 15th Division was not a standing division of the Japanese army, but it was also a type A division, and its combat effectiveness was not too weak. It was completely defeated in such a short period of time. It seems that I have always been too modest and underestimated my own strength! Jin Zhao thought shamelessly in his heart.

At this time, Lin Shaotang took out a map and spread it on the chessboard, Jin Zhao glanced at the map and asked, "Where is Zhang Junsong's interspersed troops now?" After Zhang Junsong's two divisions crossed the Yangtze River, his main force moved south with Jin Zhao, forming a semi-encirclement posture in the face of the Japanese 9th Division from the north. However, one of the brigades did not go south, but went all the way to the west, trying to detour back to the west of Changzhou and cut off the Beijing-Shanghai railway.

"Heading in the direction of Bull Running Town!" Lin Shaotang pointed to a small black dot on the map marked with a bull running and said.

Jin Zhao nodded with satisfaction. "Tell them to speed up, seize Benniu Town as soon as possible, and cut off the Songhu Railway! The Yamada detachment must not be allowed to rush to Changzhou. ”

"Yes!" Lin Shaotang replied loudly.

"In addition, the armored regiment, the 1st National Defense Regiment, was ordered to assist the 206th and 207th Divisions in launching an attack on the Japanese 7th Division." Jin Zhao commanded loudly.

"Fight now?" Lin Shaotang asked suspiciously.

"Hit! Beat him up as a bitch! Let the little devils know that we are awesome! I'd like to see if these Japanese pigs know how to hurt! Jin Zhao said loudly.

"Yes!"

Inside the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters in Shanghai. Matsui Ishone's hands trembled as he held a farewell message from the 15th Division. Matsui Ishine watched it several times, and he couldn't believe it was true, but the truth was in front of his eyes. The 15th Division was defeated, and it was badly defeated. It was wiped out in just a few hours. The shock that this incident brought to Matsui Shigen was quite huge, and after a long time, Matsui Shigen said slowly, "It seems that we still underestimate the strength of the Fujian army!" Ay! Matsui Ishone sighed helplessly. Then he couldn't help coughing violently.

"So what do we do next?" Tsukada's face at this time was as ugly as his dead father, in Tsukada's view, after all, the 15th Division had the strength of a division, even if it was poor, it could hold out for a day or two, but he didn't expect the entire army to be wiped out in just a few days, and for a while, Tsukada, the chief of staff, really didn't know what to do? If you continue to fight, you will definitely lose, but if you don't fight? Could it be that even if the Japanese army wants to retreat, it must be agreed by the Chinese, and now that the armies of the two sides are staggered, it is not so easy to withdraw from the battle.

"Retreat! Order the 9th Division to immediately move closer to the 3rd Division, and then retreat in the direction of Suzhou! Matsui Ishine said helplessly.

"What about the Yamada detachment?" Tsukada asked hurriedly. Although Tsukada was talking about the Yamada detachment, he was not only referring to the Yamada detachment, but also included the 68th Wing of the 3rd Division that was withdrawn from Nanjing, and the Shigeto detachment in Taiwan. It adds up to a reinforced division, so did it just give up?

"We have no other way, if we continue to fight, I'm afraid that the 3rd Division and the 9th Division will not be able to withdraw! Suzhou will also not be insured! The base camp has appointed Shunrokujun Hata as the new commander of the Central China Dispatch Army. After Matsui Ishone finished speaking, he walked out of the war room without hesitation. Matsui Shigen was not surprised that the base camp let Shunroku Hata replace him, before Matsui Shigen just wanted to annihilate the Fujian army of the Wuxi generation, so that the stain on his military career should not be so obvious, now it seems that this is impossible, and Matsui Shigen can only give up, so that at least part of the troops can be saved for the imperial army. Although in this way, abandoning the Yamada detachment and other units will make Matsui Ishine's body even more stained, Matsui Ishine is no longer in the mood to think about this. Matsui Ishone felt exhausted, and he was so tired! It's time to take a break, too! (To be continued......)
