Chapter 1220 Peeping through the intention

In Yinjiang, Zhejiang and Fujian, the enemy's staff was in the battle of the front.

Although the Xinchang Battle has been successfully over, the subsequent battle has not ended.

After breaking through the Chahuoao, Kameda's main force fled to the west of Chongren Town to meet with the Ikeda United Team, and then stationed near Zhuniangling.

In addition to this, according to the information provided by the Military Control Commission, the main force of the Japanese 17th Division and the other two infantry regiments of the 15th Division have entered Sheng County, which can be said to be a big army.

At this time, the five divisions of the 10th Army were still in Xinchang County. If you are not careful, you may be surrounded by two Japanese divisions, which will be a big trouble.

What is even more unfavorable is that although the Battle of Xinchang was won, the 10th Army also paid a heavy price.

Among them, Tao Liu's 62nd Division suffered more than 5,000 casualties, which can be said to be more than half of them. The 63rd Division of Yan Jingguo's 63rd Division was also very tragic in Zhuniangling, and the number of officers and soldiers even exceeded that of the 62nd Division. In other words, only three divisions are left to fight and are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength.

Zhong Yi did not think that the 10th Army still had the ability to fight another big battle immediately.

After all, the officers and soldiers of the National Army are flesh and blood, humans, not machines.

Therefore, what the officers and soldiers of the 10th Army urgently need now is to rest for a while.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to get the 10th Army to break off contact with the Japanese army as soon as possible.

Although the order had been issued, Zhong Yi was still worried that the troops on the front line would be entangled by the Japanese.

So throughout the morning, Zhong Yi's brows never stretched and he kept staring at the map and silently.

Near noon, a communications soldier finally stepped in quickly and reported to Zhong Yi: "Report to attend the seat. The 62nd Division sent an urgent telegram from Shaxi. The main force of the division has now retreated to Shaxi Town."

Immediately afterwards, several more communication soldiers came in and reported to Zhong Yi.

"Report to attend the meeting, the 63rd Division has been withdrawn to Cai's house."

"Report to attend the seat, the 16th Division has now retreated to Anding."

"Report to attend the meeting, the 192nd Division has retreated to Shiliang Town."

"Report to participate in the seat, the 10th Preparatory Division has retreated to the small general's town."

Either they didn't come, and the news of the five front-line divisions came.

He Wenxi said: "She is here, now the five divisions participating in the war have all left contact with the Japanese army."

Zhong Yi said no, and said again: "You can take a breath for the moment."

After saying that, Zhong Yi's eyes turned to the other side of the sand table.

The battle in Xinchang has come to an end. Although the result can only be considered as unsatisfactory, it was won at least, so now it is time to consider independently forming the 11th Brigade.

Although the bone of the independent mixed 11th Brigade is harder to crack than the Kameda United, the combat effectiveness of the 41st Army is by no means comparable to that of the 10th Army.

No matter what, several main divisions of the 41st Army were brought out by Zhong Yi!

Although the 41st Army suffered heavy damage during the Battle of Nanchang, after half a year of reorganization, its combat effectiveness has basically returned to its peak level!

The most important thing is that the 41st Army had three armies and nine divisions, and each division had a force of 15,000 troops. In other words, the entire army plus artillery had a force of more than 100,000! Relatively speaking, the 10th Army had only six divisions, and each division had a force of only more than 9,000 troops.

This means that the 41st Army's strength is almost twice that of the 10th Army. More importantly, the 41st Army has three artillery regiments! Although most of these three artillery regiments are equipped with mortars, it is much stronger than the 10th Army, which does not even have an artillery battalion.

Therefore, as long as the conditions are ripe, the 41st Army will have a chance to completely wipe out the 11th Brigade.

The so-called ripe conditions mean that the 11th Brigade, independent mixed-up, went deep into northern Zhejiang, and was trapped in people and horses. At this time, the 41st Army had the opportunity to launch an encirclement and annihilation operation.

He Wenxi knew what Zhong Yi was thinking and said, "I have joined the seat. The 1st Division of Rong 1st reported that the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade is advancing towards Lin'an. If there is no accident, the Japanese should have already arrived in Lin'an."

As soon as he finished speaking, another communication soldier hurried in and reported: "Shenzhen, Rong 1st Division is urgently sent!"

"I must have been in the 11th Brigade, and I have already entered the ranks!" He Wenxi immediately felt excited when he heard this, and then reached out to receive the telegram from the communications soldier.

But after reading the telegram in a hurry, He Wenxi was stunned.

Zhong Yi frowned and asked, "Director He, what happened?"

"The Japanese have retracted," He Wenxi said depressedly, "I don't know why, the 11th Brigade of Independent Mixed Suddenly retracted back to Fuchun County!"

"It's actually retracted?" Zhong Yi's brows suddenly became more and more tight.

"She is the seat, look." He Wenxi said and handed over the telegram.

After reading the telegram, Zhong Yi's face immediately collapsed, but it was a little beyond his expectations.

He Wenxi said in a deep voice: "If the 11th Brigade of Independent Mixed Independent Regiment is hiding in Fuchun and not coming out, the opportunity for annihilation war will not appear. It would be a waste to leave more than 100,000 troops of the 41st Army in Fuchun River North."

Zhong Yi pondered for a moment, his eyebrows immediately stretched out again, and he said in a deep voice: "I know what's going on."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "It seems that Usa Mirō, the Japanese devil, is preparing to use the Central Zhejiang battlefield as a breakthrough point for the entire Zhejiang-Fujian Battle!"

He Wenxi frowned and said, "Take the battlefield in Central Zhejiang as a breakthrough?"

"It should be like this." Zhong Yi nodded, "He should want to give priority to the 10th Army and then concentrate his forces to deal with the 41st Army, so he suddenly let the 11th Brigade of Independent Mixed Retract back to Fuchun County. The intention of this move is to restrain the 41st Army in Fuchun River North."

He Wenxi said sternly: "It seems that Usa Mirō, the Japanese devil, is planning to prioritize the elimination of our army's vitality? This is somewhat inconsistent with the combat goals they set before."

"This is also the main point in the question. The Japanese are still very good at learning and summarizing." Zhong Yi said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese Japanese, Mitoshi Usa must have innovated their tactics. Instead of capturing the city, they have instead taken the primary goal of eliminating our army's livelihood. The 10th Army on the battlefield in central Zhejiang was the first goal he chose!"

He Wenxi said: "In this case, the 10th Army will be in trouble."
