Chapter 1240 Conspiracy
Turtle Rock, Japanese observation post.
Seeing the Chinese army turn around and flee, Yamazaki Yuki immediately burst into laughter.
While laughing, Yamazaki Yuki said to Shimaharaki beside him: "Shima Jun, what did I just say? The Chinese army is really worthy of being a sand-stacked army, and it still didn't disappoint us, haha."
Shimahara Yoshi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Brig Commander, Huyi feels that the retreat of the Chinese army is abnormal."
"Abnormal, what's wrong?" Yamazaki Ueyoshi laughed, "Shima, don't you think this is the Chinese army's plan to lure the enemy, right? What era is this, and it's still lure the enemy? Could it be that the Chinese army set up an ambush in front and wanted to use a trick of defeat to lure the imperial army into the ambush? Haha, it's so ridiculous."
Shimahara Kishi was speechless.
Setting up an ambush and then seducing the enemy by cheating defeat is indeed a big deal.
But the sudden defeat of the Chinese army is indeed very suspicious.
But even if Shimahara Yoshi really tells you where it is suspicious, it is impossible to say.
Yamazaki Yuki turned around and said to the messenger: "Order the 109th infantry revolt to pursue the victory, occupy Songyang County in one fell swoop, and then welcome the main force of the brigade into the city."
The messenger paused his head and said, "Hayi!"
...
Under Zoumaling, Dongshan Village.
He Wenxi said: "Is it that I ordered the Rong 1 Division to be defeated and entered the city to introduce the Japanese into Songyang City and then engage in street battles with the Japanese in the city?"
"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded, "Although we are very reluctant, we must admit that at least at this stage, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is still above us. Although the Rong 1st Division has strong combat effectiveness, it is still at a clear disadvantage compared to the 116th Division. If you fight in the field, you will definitely not be the opponent of the Japanese."
He Wenxi said: "Field combat is not as good as the Japanese, so what about street combat?"
"It's different to fighting street battles." Zhong Yi said, "The biggest advantage of fighting street battles is that it can eliminate the Japanese's firepower advantages. In the narrow and narrow alleys, the Japanese's artillery and light and heavy firepower are basically useless. In addition, Rong 1st Division has experienced the Wuhan Battle of Canqian, and the street fighting experience is much richer than that of the Japanese."
"I understand." He Wenxi nodded, "This is probably the confidence that the attendees dared to take the 1st Division of the Rong 1st Division and beat the Japanese brigade."
"You are right." Zhong Yi smiled and continued, "I only prepared one division for the Yamazaki Brigade, but nine divisions were prepared for the main force of the 116th Division that came to Wuyi County to assist!"
He Wenxi said: "When it comes to the main force of the 116th Division, before participating in the seat, they said that they would neither choose to go to Jinhua nor Lishui, so which path would they choose to take?"
Zhong Yi reached out and pointed to the map and said, "Go to this!"
...
In Shanghai, the 13th Japanese Army Command.
It was already evening when Usa Mitsuru rushed back to the headquarters.
Walking into the war room, Usa Mito took off his hat and handed it to the orderly, then strode to the sand table.
Seeing Usa Mitsuto coming, Hinata Shiaki, who was working on the sand table and more than a dozen combat staff members subconsciously stood attentively and bowed deeply.
Usa Mitsuki waved his hand and said, "Higa Shikan, what's the situation now?"
"Hai!" Hinata Shiaki said, "The situation is still unclear, Your Excellency Chief of Staff."
"Still unknown?" Usa Mitsuru frowned, "What does it mean to be still unknown?"
Hinata said: "As of now, only one division number has been found in front of Songyang County."
"Nani?" Usa Mitsuru's brows became more and more tight, "Only one division number are issued?"
"Hai." Hinata Shimington said first, "It is the Rong-1 Division to which the 41st Army."
"Ei 1st Division?" Usa Mirō said with a stern expression and said, "The old army brought out by Zhong Yi?"
"Hai." Hinata Zhiming said in a deep voice, "The 1st Division of Ei is composed of the 367th Regiment brought out by Zhong Yi from the Jinshan Guard. It is composed of a large number of veterans who have been injured and returned to the team. It has a strong combat power."
Usa Mitsunobu said in a deep voice: "Especially in the Battle of Wuhan, the Ei-1 Division caused a severe blow to the Imperial Army!"
Speaking of this, Usa Mirō continued: "However, no matter how strong the Ei-1 Division has, it only has one division, which is not enough to pose a threat to Yamazaki Brigade. What about the other eight divisions of the 41st Army of China?"
Hinata Shiaki shook his head and said, "I don't know, so far, no other eight divisions have been found."
"Baga!" Usa Mitsuto's brows frowned again, "What is the medicine sold in Zhong Yi's gourd? He wouldn't think that he could defeat Yamazaki Brigade with just one Ei-1 Division?"
At this moment, a communication soldier hurried in.
"Report!" The communications soldier paused and said, "Yamazaki brigade was urgently powered!"
Hinata Shiaki reached out to take the telegram, and his face changed after reading it.
Seeing this, Usa Mitsuto frowned again and said, "What's wrong with Hinata Shikun?"
Hinata Zhiming Hayi replied: "The Yamazaki Brigade has just sent a good news that it was said that they had severely damaged Zhu Liangcheng's 1st Division outside Songyang County. Now the remnants of the 1st Division of the 1st Division have retreated into Songyang County. The 109th Infantry Regiment is being cleared, and it also means that the remaining enemies can be eliminated before dawn!"
"Nani?" Usa Mirō said, "Eei Division was defeated so quickly?"
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Huyi suspects this is a conspiracy!" Hinata Shimiya said.
"Don't doubt it is a conspiracy. If the Ei-1 Division was so easy to fight, it wouldn't have caused such great damage to the Imperial Army on the battlefield in Wuhan!" Usa Mirō said, "This must be Zhong Yi's trick. The purpose is to introduce the Yamazaki Brigade into Songyang City and then engage in street fighting with the Yamazaki Brigade!"
It must be admitted that Usa Mirō is still a little skillful, and he immediately gained insight into Zhong Yi's intentions.
"Street fighting?" Hinata Zhiaki was still young after all. He had never heard of the performance of the Ei-1 Division in the street fighting in Wuhan. He said, "Chief of Staff, is there a difference between field fighting and street fighting? Zhong Yi wouldn't naively think that just one Ei-1 Division can defeat Yamazaki Brigade in the street fighting, right?"
Usa Mitsuru had never participated in the Wuhan Battle, and he lacked an intuitive impression of the performance of Ei-1 Division in street fighting.
Usa Mirō said: "Only one Ei 1st Division alone cannot defeat Yamazaki Brigade in street battles, but don't forget that the 41st Chinese Army has seven divisions, and two detachments led by Zhong Yi to the Coast Defense Corps, which have not appeared until now!"
