Jinhua, the head of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone.

Zhong Yi is analyzing possible situations.

Zhong Yi said to the map: "If the 1st Cavalry Brigade pursues it, there are only three situations."

"First, bold pursuit is to carry out a group pursuit of the entire 1st cavalry brigade, run ahead of us at a faster speed, and then seize the main traffic route and block our army's retreat!"

"If the Japanese choose this way of chasing, then they will definitely target Yiwu!"

"Obviously, as long as we seize Yiwu City in advance, we can not only basically cut off our army's retreat, but also prepare in advance for the next stage of attack on Jinhua."

"The second is a limited pursuit."

"If the Japanese choose this way of pursuit, then they will send at most a cavalry corps, and the blocking point they choose will not be Yiwu, but Dachen Town between Tongshan Town and Yiwu!"

"There is another situation, that is, the Japanese will not pursue them."

Yu Liangzhen couldn't help but ask: "Zi Ren, what do you think will be the case?"

Zhong Yi said: "I don't think the third possibility is very likely. The first and second types are hard to say. It depends on how much the old Japanese devil Iida Xiangjiro looked down on me."

He paused and said, "But whether it is the first or the second, the pursuit troops of the 1st Cavalry Brigade must pass through Dachen Town, and the brigade headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Brigade is unlikely to leave Tongshan Town immediately! Therefore, we can do things at the same time in Dachen Town and Tongshan Town!"

Yu Liangzhen nodded and said, "Zi Ren means to assemble Rong 1st Division, Rong 2nd Division, Rong 4th Division and Rong 7th Division to ambush the main force of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese in Dachen Town, and the special combat brigade of the 10th Army also launched a beheading battle against the brigade headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Brigade in Tongshan Town?"

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded.

...

In the outskirts of Tongshan Town, the 1st Cavalry Brigade.

Nanbu Bozhi did not set up his brigade headquarters in Tongshan Town with better conditions, but chose to place his command center in the suburbs of the town with a wider terrain.

However, this has nothing to do with being cautious or not, it is entirely because Nanbu Bozhi is not used to living in Chinese houses, and this guy seems to have a mentally cleanliness habit.

The captain of the guard cavalry corps, Bei Dian Er, hurried into the command tent and said, "Brig Commander, the situation has been verified. The Chinese army has indeed retreated! The 1st Chinese Rong Division in the front, the Rong 2nd and the 4th Rong 4th Rong behind us are all retreating in the direction of Yiwu. This is definitely not a feint!"

After pausing, Bei Dian Er said again: "Pretending defeat or real withdrawal, I can still argue."

"Yoxi." Yukimasa Taniguchi, the 14th Cavalry Regiment's corps leader, nodded happily, and continued, "Then there is only one question left now. Should I chase or not?"

"Chasing or not chasing is never a problem." Nanbu Hiroshi waved his hand and said, "The problem is how to chase?"

Sheng Yulang, the captain of the 13th Cavalry Regiment, continued: "If you chase, there are two options. One is to carry out a full-scale pursuit, penetrate directly behind the Chinese army, seize Yiwu before the Chinese army, and cut off its retreat! The other is to send a cavalry regiment and a cavalry artillery Lei team to seize Dachen Town as quickly as possible. In this way, you can probably intercept one or two divisions of the Chinese army. It is very difficult to intercept all four divisions."

Beidian Er shouted: "No need to talk about this, of course I will choose the first one!"

Yukimasa Taniguchi said: "If you choose the first way of pursuit, you must be as fast as possible. In order to speed up the marching, the cavalry artillery corps and anti-aircraft artillery corps may not be able to accompany you. You can only pursue the pursuit first, and then the two artillery corps and the brigade headquarters will follow up."

Speaking of this, Yukimasa Taniguchi said again: "In this case, if the Chinese army backfired and launched a desperate counterattack, due to the lack of artillery firepower, the two cavalry corps that were pursuing may suffer a loss."

"This is easy to do." Nanbu Bozhi waved his hand, "all the horses of the brigade and the logistics corps are assigned to the cavalry artillery corps and anti-aircraft artillery corps. In this way, the cavalry artillery corps and anti-aircraft artillery corps should be able to keep up with the speed of the cavalry corps, so there is no problem."

Sheng Yulang frowned and said, "But if this is the case, the safety of the brigade team..."

"There will be no problem with the safety of the brigade headquarters." Nanbu Bozhi said with a smile, "Do you think that under such circumstances, the Chinese army will turn around and attack my brigade headquarters?" Speaking of this, Nanbu Bozhi laughed again, "If the Chinese army is really stupid enough to do this, then we really want to do it."

Several regiment captains immediately stopped talking.

"Order." Nanbu Bozhi looked cold and said, "The 13th Cavalry Regiment, the 14th Cavalry Regiment, the Guards Cavalry Regiment, and the Cavalry Artillery Regiment, and the Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment immediately launched a full-scale pursuit!"

"Hayi!" The five convoy captains bowed their heads together.

...

It was late at night and An Zhenyuan gently pushed the floor covered with his head, and a pungent burnt smell immediately penetrated into his nose. How to describe it? It should be a smell that comes from burning leather.

He climbed onto the edge of the tunnel exit with both hands and gently lifted upwards. An Zhenyuan had already reached the ground.

Although it was at night, the light was very good, nothing else, because An Zhenyuan found that the whole town was still emitting a flash of fire.

It turns out that Tongshan Town has been burned by the Japanese.

The Japanese not only burned Tongshan Town, but also looted the entire Tongshan Town before setting the fire, killing a large number of ordinary people.

An Zhenyuan saw several remains at a glance, and they were all burnt. The smell he smelled like charred leather was emitted by these remains.

"Dog Japanese devils!" An Zhenyuan's face suddenly became cold.

Yang Feng followed An Zhenyuan to the ground, and after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, he also gritted his teeth.

"Damn!" Yang Feng said hatefully, "This little Japanese devil is really beastly. He will kill wherever he goes."

After a pause, Yang Feng continued: "However, the brigade headquarters of the old Japanese devil in the southern Bozhi is not in the town, so it's a bit troublesome."

An Zhenyuan didn't say anything, turned his head and asked Shanwazi who was climbing up, and said, "Shanwazi, the main force of the Southern Brigade has confirmed that he has left Tongshan Town, right?"

"It has been confirmed to leave." Shanwazi nodded, "There are only more than a thousand Japanese who are staying in Tongshan Town now."

An Zhenyuan nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, these more than a thousand Japanese should be the brigade headquarters, hospital and baggage unit of the 1st Cavalry Brigade."

Yang Feng said hatefully: "What are you waiting for? Come on now!"
