"Is it the 11th Brigade independent? " He Wenxi said as he took a corner ruler to measure the sand table, then frowned and said, "I'm the seat, but now the distance between the 11th Brigade independent and the 17th Division in Nanxiashiwu Town is only less than fifty miles away."

Speaking of this, He Wenxi said again: "Although there is a Fuchun River between them, the Japanese have the help of the navy and can transfer hundreds of small steamers from Hangzhou at any time. In this case, if the independent 11th Brigade is attacked, the 17th Division will be able to arrive for reinforcements within one day."

"You are right." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "The time is not yet ripe."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "The opportunity I mentioned has come. It just said that the Japanese soldiers divided into multiple routes, which gave us a god-given opportunity to concentrate superior forces to fight an annihilation war. But without saying that, we would take action immediately."

The essence of mobile warfare is to mobilize the enemy through continuous changes of positions, which will cause disconnection between the enemies while exhausting the enemy. Once one of the enemies is relatively prominent, then concentrate superior forces to annihilate them! This move has been tried and tested in the anti-encirclement and suppression of the Central Soviet Area.

However, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was much stronger than that of the National Army, and the military strength of the Eighth Route Army was relatively scattered, so it was no longer able to fight mobile warfare and could only launch extensive sparrow warfare and guerrilla warfare. Therefore, there were very few examples of annihilation of the Japanese army in an established system, but there were not many total number of annihilations of the Japanese army.

But for Zhong Yi now, there is no such problem.

Because now Zhong Yi can directly command two armies, nearly 200,000 people.

Therefore, once a certain Japanese army is in a prominent position, it is possible to fight an annihilation battle, but now, the position of the independent 11th Brigade is still not prominent enough.

He Wenxi was relieved when he heard this and smiled: "I misunderstood the meaning of attending the seat."

After a pause, He Wenxi said again: "She is the seat, it seems we have to think of a way to expand the distance between the 11th Brigade and the 17th Division."

Zhong Yi's eyes swept across the sand table and said, "In this way, let Tao Liu's 62nd Division fight a blocking battle near Ciwu Town. After the 17th Division reinvigorated its troops, it immediately withdrew from the battle and retreated towards Sheng County. At the same time, Zhang Liangji's 16th Division and Hu Da's 192nd Division deviated from Zhuji and Shaoxing respectively, and put on an siege."

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "If nothing unexpected happens, the 17th Division will definitely invest all its forces and launch a reverse encirclement after discovering that the three main divisions of the 28th Army are nearby!"

He Wenxi immediately said: "At this time, our army retreated in a big step towards Sheng County, and Usa Mirō would be very likely to have a misjudgment. He believed that our army was not accurate enough and mistakenly regarded the 17th Division in the direction of Ciwu Town as an infantry corps. He found that there was a hasty retreat after a main division behind him!"

Zhong Yi said: "In this way, the direction of the 17th Division will no longer be Jinhua in the south, but Shengxian in the east. The distance between the 11th Brigade and the independent 11th Brigade in Fuchun River North was also invisibly widened."

"But this is probably not enough." He Wenxi measured the corner ruler again and said, "Even if the main force of the 17th Division was attracted to Sheng County, or even further Xinchang County, the distance between Fuyang County was only more than 300 miles. If you force yourself to march, the 17th Division could still arrive in three days!"

Zhong Yi said: "Then I can only find a way to become the 11th Brigade independently."

He Wenxi said: "Is it better to use the same method to lead the 11th Brigade of Independent Mixed to North Zhejiang? However, the problem is that there is nothing to use the same routine once. If you use it twice, it is very likely to cause Usa Mitsuto to be alert and then see through our design. The two Japanese troops may return to their original direction of advance."

Zhong Yi said: "It is definitely not possible to use the same routine, you have to think of another way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer hurried in and stood attentively reported: "Report to the Chief of Staff, Rong 1st Division urgently sent a telegram, and the 11th Brigade of Independent Mixed Integration condemned a cavalry team and an infantry brigade to pursue Hankou Camp relentlessly. Commander Zhu asked for instructions, can he concentrate his troops and ambush the Japanese cavalry team and infantry?"

"Hey, the Japanese sent a cavalry team and an infantry brigade to chase Hankou Camp?" Zhong Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I'm dozing off now, and the Japanese sent a pillow!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "Tele to the 1st Division of Rong, that the Japanese are not allowed to ambush! Not only are the ambush, but we also have to find a way to make Hankou Camp defeated, and then catch the Japanese and retreat towards Lin'an!"

"Yes!" The communications consultant agreed and turned around and left in a hurry.

...

In Ciwu Town, the headquarters of the 62nd Division.

Tao Liu was gnawing cornmeal steamed buns while reading the telegram in his hand.

When I was gnawing cornmeal steamed buns, Tao Liu was still grateful to Zhong Yi.

In any case, Zhong Yi did a great thing in the end, and sent a convoy to deliver the urgently needed food to their 62nd Division. The brothers finally didn't have to fight the Japanese on hungry days.

But after reading the telegram, Tao Liu's gratitude disappeared.

"Damn it, let our division fight in Ciwu Town?" After reading the telegram hurriedly, Tao Liu cursed, "Didn't you agree to keep a twenty-kilometer distance from the Japanese? Are you playing with us?"

Zhong Guangren said: "Teacher, if you want to block the attack, just block the attack. After all, we have previously built fortifications in Ciwu Town, and the Japanese coming from Xiaoshan are only one infantry brigade, so we can handle it."

To make a point, Zhong Yi did not convey the information from the secret telegram sent by Fang Jianwei to the frontline divisions.

He did this, first to ensure the safety of the intelligence officers lurking within the 13th Army Command of the Japanese, and secondly, there is no need for the military commanders on the front line to know this.

They know these things but are bad.

Therefore, Tao Liu didn't know that the one who rushed towards him was actually a whole division.

"You can't be careless," said Tao Liu. "Order the troops to widen the front and increase the depth. In my opinion, Zhong Yi would not let us stand here for too long, and he would let us retreat soon!"

Zhong Guangren thought for a while and said, "Master, I'll go there in person."

"Okay." Tao Liu said, "Then I'll have a trip with Brother Lao Guang."

When Zhong Guangren left the division headquarters and came to the defensive position of the Independent Regiment, the Japanese army on the opposite side had already begun to attack, and rows of artillery shells fell on the national army's positions like rain.
