On Zouma Ridge, observe the post.

Although it is more than ten miles apart, standing on Zuomaling and looking down, you can still vaguely see the explosion red light rising from Songyang County, which looks like fireworks.

But Zhong Yi knew very well that these fireworks would kill people!

Just as Zhong Yi was watching the battle, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

When I looked back, I saw the Chief of Staff He Wenxi coming quickly.

"Seat." He Wenxi respectfully saluted Zhong Yi, and said, "I just received an urgent call from the Rong 1st Division. The Japanese offensive was very fierce, and the county office had been lost."

Zhong Yi had no expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "So what about the casualties?"

He Wenxi said: "As of the time before the telegram was sent, more than 500 people had been sacrificed in Rong's 1st Division and more than 300 were seriously injured! There were no less than 3,000 officers and soldiers who were slightly injured!"

Zhong Yi looked shaking when he heard this.

Zhong Yi had already predicted that the attack of the 116th Division would be very fierce, but he still didn't expect that it would be so fierce that in less than half a night, the Rong 1st Division had reduced nearly one battalion.

This is Rong 1st Division, and it is a street battle. If it is replaced by another unit or field battle, I am afraid that the entire division will have all been fully trained.

He Wenxi said in a deep voice: "Shenzhen, should you let the Rong 1 Division shrink slightly to lower the defense line?"

He Wenxi's meaning is to let the Rong 1 Division Hedgehog Integration Group defend the severity by relying on its superiority in military strength.

What I fear most is the enemy's shelling or bombing, but now I don't have this concern.

Speaking of this, He Wenxi said again: "After all, it's night now, and it's in western Zhejiang. The Japanese Aviation Force cannot fly here, and the Yamazaki Brigade has only one mountain artillery brigade, and the firepower is limited after all."

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "If the Ei-1 Division Hedge Integration Group is allowed to integrate, the Yamazaki Brigade will inevitably control most of the county town, which will affect the subsequent battle process!"

What Zhong Yi was most worried about was that the Yamazaki brigade refused to withdraw from the city, but the entire brigade was retracted into Songyang County and fought street battles with them based on the buildings in the city. In this way, although the entire Yamazaki brigade could not escape the end of being completely wiped out, the price the national army would have to pay was much greater!

And most importantly, the entire Songyang County will be transformed into ruins.

Zhong Yi still hopes to protect the ancient city of Songyang as much as possible.

He Wenxi said: "But in this way, the casualties of Rong 1 Division will be too great."

Zhong Yi thought for a while and said, "Let me do this, let the other seven divisions start in advance."

He Wenxi said: "But the seat is in the middle of the night now, so the Japanese may not be able to judge the exact situation of our army."

Sometimes things are so paradoxical. Many times, on the battlefield, they have to hide their own background in every way to prevent the enemy commanders from mastering the exact information. But now, they are worried that the Japanese will not be able to obtain their background. Now they really need the Japanese to obtain their information.

"It's okay." Zhong Yi said calmly, "You can make up for it with other methods."

After saying this, Zhong Yi continued: "Immediately call Commander-in-Chief Luo and ask him to call the Commander-in-Chief in the name of the enemy command of the Central Zhejiang Battle. It means that the eight main divisions of the 41st Army have surrounded the Yamazaki Brigade in Songyang and will launch a general attack before tomorrow evening to completely annihilate the Yamazaki Brigade."

"Good solution!" He Wenxi's eyes lit up immediately.

...

Three miles east of Songyang City, there is a Taoist temple called Dongyang Temple.

This Taoist temple has been his command center by Yamazaki Uekishi.

At this moment, Yamazaki Yukihito was holding a telescope and was standing on the roof with his two wing captains watching the battle.

Since the walls of Songyang County are only three meters high, you can clearly see the battle situation in the county from the top of the Taoist temple hall.

From the current perspective, the No. 109th Infantry Regiment, which was responsible for the main attack, is moving forward step by step, and the area controlled by the Japanese army has reached one quarter of the entire county town.

But Yamazaki Uyoshi was obviously not satisfied with this.

After watching for a few minutes, Yamazaki Yuki suddenly put down his telescope and turned to the corps leader of the infantry 109th Army and said, "Taita, your army is progressing too slowly! At this speed, you can't drive the Chinese army out before dawn. Speed ​​up, you have to speed up!"

"Hayi!" Takiji Shisaburo suddenly paused and was about to go to the front line to supervise the war, a sudden change occurred.

Without any warning, gunfire sounded at the same time in the north, east and south directions of the Yamazaki Brigade Station. Then, balls of explosions bloomed one after another.

"What's the situation?" Yamazaki Yuki was stunned for a moment.

Shimahara Yoshi and Takiji Shisaburo were also a little confused.

After a while, Shimahara Yoshi finally reacted and shouted: "Brig Commander, something is not good. It must be the main force of the 41st Chinese Army that arrived!"

"The main force of the 41st Chinese Army? It doesn't look like that."

Although it became sudden, Yamazaki Utsuyoshi was not very panicked because he still held an infantry corps and a mountain artillery corps to help with the war, so he had no reason to be afraid of the Chinese army's counterattack.

Shimahara Yoshikyu said: "Brig Commander, this is probably just the vanguard of the Chinese Army!"

"Are the vanguard troops?" said Takiji Tuzaburo, "Since it is the vanguard troops, how could he launch an attack rashly?"

"Taitoji, isn't this obvious?" Shimahara Yoshi was so anxious that he almost jumped up, saying, "It must be because the China army in Songyang City suffered too much casualties. In order to reduce the pressure on the China army in the city, the commander of the China army ordered the vanguard troops who arrived first to launch an attack immediately."

After saying this, Shimahara Yoshi said to Yamazaki Ueki: "Brig Commander, take advantage of the main force of the 41st Chinese Army, hurry up and withdraw the 109th infantry regiment from Songyang City. In this way, we can still rush to repair some simple fortifications before the main force of China arrives!"

After another salute, Shimahara Yoshi said again: "If you hesitate, when the main force of the 41st Chinese Army arrives, we will go to the valley and go to the city to fight street battles. Most of the county areas are still under the control of the Chinese Army. But if you go out to the city to fight field battles and there are no fortifications to support, it will be a big trouble!"

Yamazaki Yuki's brows frowned, and hesitated.

At this moment, a communications consultant hurriedly climbed to the top of the hall along the ladder.
Chapter completed!
