There is a cruel but very real comparison of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese and Japanese armies.

If you eliminate special circumstances like street fighting, if you are purely fighting positional warfare and field warfare, the combat effectiveness comparison between the Chinese and Japanese armies is basically one to seven.

In other words, a Japanese infantry brigade of 1,000 people can fight a 7,000-man infantry division of the National Army, and the National Army may not necessarily win.

The 41st and 19th Army is an elite, but the 1st Division on the opposite side is also the elite of the Japanese army. The 2nd and 5th Divisions that are about to arrive are even more elite among the elites. Therefore, even if the performance of the 41st and 19th Army is much higher than the average level of the National Army, it is impossible to compete with the four heavy-armed divisions of the Japanese.

With superb tactics and Zhong Yi's command, a certain gap in strength can be made up, but it is not enough to cause a decisive impact. Unless the Japanese army makes a major mistake and is captured by Zhong Yi, there will be no chance at all, Luo Zhengying's 19th Army and Lin Wei's 41st Army.

"Not afraid." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "It's mid-May now. In another month, western Zhejiang will enter the scorching summer. At that time, the hot weather will become the number one enemy of the Japanese. Therefore, with the 16th and 41st armies, there is a chance to block the four heavy divisions of the Japanese."

Yin Zuogan and several other staff members nodded at the same time after hearing this.

Hot weather is indeed a very important factor.

At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "The 19th and 41st Army of Luo Zhengying still adopted a flexible defense strategy and continued to retreat to the western Zhejiang mountainous areas. Then, the 22nd, 23rd, 27th and 30th Army of the army of the same group are still dispersed guerrillas in Xinchang, Shengxian and Tiantai, and continue to implement a training plan for combat instead of training."

"Yes." Zhang Shiliang agreed and turned around and hurried away.

Zhong Yi turned his head and asked Li Ziren, "By the way, how is the Hu Town?"

"Is the two hundred Japanese soldiers trapped in Huzhen?" Li Ziren said, "I ran away a few times, but they all got An Zhenyuan's special operations brigade to rush back."

...

Huzhen, the south bank of Fuchun River.

"Bow!Bow!" accompanied by crisp gunfire.

Then there was the sound of the shattering of pottery.

When Usa Mitsuru arrived with Takahashi Jōzo, he saw that dozens of large pottery jars had just been made last night had been broken into pieces of pottery.

Seeing this, Usa Mitsuru's nose was crooked.

"Baga, Bagayaru!" Usa Mitsuro pulled out his sabre and slashed randomly.

Takahashi Jangzo's face was also ashen, and his eyes were almost spitting out of fire.

From half a month on, they quietly made large pottery jars at night and then prepared to use them to get out of trouble.

As a result, three days ago, the national army opposite didn't know what was going on, and suddenly discovered the existence of the pottery urn, and then shot the pottery urn hidden in the two depressions from a high place from two small hills at least one thousand meters away.

Although the distance is very long and the hit rate of the National Army snipers is not very high, they cannot resist the target of the pottery jar, and there are hundreds of pottery jars placed together, so the overall hit rate is still very high.

By the time Usa Mitsuru and Takahashi Takahashi arrived, more than 100 pottery jars had basically been broken.

"You guys shoot, shoot, kill me, kill me!" Usa Mitsuro was almost mad. While waving his saber, he roared loudly at the snipers on the opposite side.

However, the snipers on the opposite side stopped firing.

"Brig Commander!" Takahashi Shigezo said gritting his teeth, "This is the situation, do you still need to continue to persevere?"

Takahashi Shigezuo means that he doesn’t have to persist anymore, and he won’t fight with the Kuomintang army. Even if he dies, it’s better than being trapped here and humiliated by the Kuomintang army and use it until he dies.

But Usa Mitsuru slowly calmed down.

After a while, Usa Mirō said, "Why not?"

After pausing, Usa Mirō said again: "I have been persevering for so long, and I have endured the humiliation of serving as a shooting training material for the Chinese soldiers. What else can we lose? What reason do we have to give up? Persist! We must persevere and persevere until the end, and we must make the Chinese army pay the price for this!"

"Okay." Takahashi Shigezo nodded and said helplessly.

...

One thousand meters away opposite.

Shanwazi put down the telescope in his hand and said to An Zhenyuan beside him with some concern: "Captain, the Japanese will not be crazy by us, right?"

"No." An Zhenyuan waved his hand and said, "Don't underestimate the Japanese's psychological qualities."

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded behind him. The two of them looked back and found that Fan Ziying was coming.

At this time, the four army groups of Sichuan Army, except for Fan Ziying's 144th Division, all 16 divisions had already been transported to the front lines of Xinchang, Sheng County and Tiantai County.

Fan Ziying's 144th Division stayed and continued to siege the Japanese special forces brigade.

"Brother Zhenyuan." Fan Ziying called out from a distance, "Didn't the Japanese run away?"

"Chief Fan is about to fall down." An Zhenyuan quickly signaled Fan Ziying to fall down. The Japanese on the opposite side were not ordinary Japanese, and their shooting skills were also extremely accurate. If they emerged, they would be shot by the opponent.

Fan Ziying leaned against An Zhenyuan with her butt and asked panting, "Brother Zhenyuan, haven't the Japanese run away?"

"If I didn't run away, how could I let them run away?" An Zhenyuan smiled, "I found out that they were secretly making pottery jars a few days ago. I deliberately ignored them, thinking that the pottery jars should be almost dried and then broken for them today. Hehe, should Commander Fan shoot a few shots? It seems that there are still a few large pottery jars left."

"It's nothing if you can't hit the pottery jar." Shanwazi said with a smile, "There are still several Japanese, all living targets."

"I'll do the trick." Fan Ziying waved her hand and said, "My eyes are not good, so don't waste bullets, as long as the Japanese don't run away."

Speaking of this, Fan Ziying said again: "Brother Zhenyuan, our teacher's training has been done almost. Can we take the overall attacking materials? Kill this group of Japanese devils and count the ball?"

"No hurry to do this." An Zhenyuan waved his hand and said, "I have been trapped for so long, so I won't be able to shake the last time."

"Huh?" Fan Ziying said in surprise, "Brother Zhenyuan, why do I seem to have something to say when I hear you? Do you have any other plans to say?"

An Zhenyuan smiled and said, "Teacher Fan, I'm not intimidated. I want to surrender this group of Japanese devils."

"What, to surrender?" Fan Ziying said in surprise, "Brother Zhenyuan, are you joking?"
