Quzhou Hu Town, the head of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone.

After a night passed, communications between the 41st Army and the 10th Army divisions finally resumed one after another.

Communication recovery means that the battle has ended, and whether it is winning or losing, it will eventually lead to a result.

In the war room, including Yu Liangzhen, Xuan Tiewu, Tao Guang, Yang Bufei and other senior generals from the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone were all raised.

Of course, it is nervous, which is related to the life and death of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone!

If defeated, it means the complete fall of Zhejiang Province, and the newly established Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone will no longer exist. At that time, the commander will cancel the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone without hesitation.

So, Yu Liangzhen and the others were very nervous.

Fortunately, this waiting did not last too long.

In just less than ten minutes, the divisions sent back the good news one after another, and they won!

"Yeah!" Hearing this news, Tao Guang, Xuan Tiewu and others couldn't help but celebrate.

Although Yu Liangzhen tried his best to suppress it, his excitement could still be seen from his expression.

There is no way not to be excited. This is a large-scale battle involving two armies of the National Army, four Japanese divisions and a mixed brigade!

Winning this battle means that their Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone has truly gained a foothold!

However, another news that followed made the atmosphere in the war room soon become solemn.

Although they won this battle, the price they paid was beyond imagination. The 15 main divisions under the two armies that participated were basically broken except for the Rong 9th Division and the 203rd Division that were fighting and blocking.

Although the precise statistics have not been calculated yet, the loss of rough steps has been reported.

The Rong 1st Division belonging to the 41st Army Group has less than 3,000 people!

The Rong 2nd Division belonging to the 41st Group Army has less than 3,000 people!

The Rong 3rd Division belonging to the 41st Group Army has less than 2,000 people!

The Rong 4th Division belonging to the 41st Army Group has less than 2,000 people!

The Rong 5th Division belonging to the 41st Group Army is less than one thousand!

The Rong 6th Division belonging to the 41st Group Army has less than one thousand people!

The Rong 7th Division belonging to the 41st Group Army has less than one thousand people!

The Rong 9th Division belonging to the 41st Army Group has less than 500 people!

The 8th Division of Rong, which belongs to the 41st Army, suffered about 5,000 casualties!

The 16th Division of the 10th Army belongs to less than 3,000 people!

The 62nd Division of the 10th Army belongs to less than 3,000 people!

The 63rd Division of the 10th Army belongs to less than two thousand people!

The 202nd Division belonging to the 10th Army Group has less than two thousand people!

The 204th Division belonging to the 10th Army Group has less than two thousand people!

The 203rd Division of the 10th Army belonged to the 10th Army had more than a thousand casualties!

Tao Guang made a rough count and found that the combined force of the two armies was less than 40,000. Only the Rong 8th Division, which was responsible for the attack, had relatively few casualties. However, even if these two divisions were added, the total force was less than one-quarter of the original!

"Master, it's so miserable!" Tao Guang even changed his tone of speaking.

"Yes, it's so miserable." Yu Liangzhen's eyes were already red.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the lounge: "But we won, didn't we?"

When Yu Liangzhen and everyone looked back anxiously, they saw that Zhong Yi had woken up at some point and stood quietly at the door of the lounge.

"Zi Ren..." Yu Liangzhen opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"General, victory is more important than anything else." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "A miserable victory is at least much better than a miserable defeat. Do you think so?"

"That's it." Xuan Tiewu and others nodded one after another.

A miserable victory is at least a victory, and it is better than a miserable defeat!

But this time, the devils were the ones who suffered a crushing defeat!

...

In Shanghai, the 13th Japanese Army Command.

Okamura Yasuji did not sleep all night and played Go with Mitsuto Usa all night.

At 10 o'clock the next morning, Hinata Shiaki finally walked into Okamura's office with heavy steps.

"Commander, Chief of Staff!" Hinata Shiaki paused to Okamura Natsuji, and Usa Mitsuru said in a heavy tone, "We lost!"

"Crazy." A chess piece in Usa Mitsuru fell on the chessboard.

However, Okamura's hands were still very stable, and his right hand was just a little paused, and finally he steadily pulled a white piece between his fingers on the chessboard.

Taking a deep breath, Usa Mitsuro said, "How bad are you losing?"

Losing was actually a long time ago as Usa Mitsuru expected. The only suspense was how much to lose?

Hinata Shimiya paused again and said in a deep voice: "The 5th Division, the 15th Division, the 22nd Division and the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade went to reinforce the 38 infantry brigades, plus 21 temporary infantry brigades, a total of about 60,000 imperial soldiers, all of whom have sacrificed their lives for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor."

"Dang!" This time, the white piece that Okamura Niji had just picked up finally fell on the chessboard, and then it spun for a long time before finally stopping.

The air in the office seemed to be frozen.

Usa Mitsuru and Hinata Shiaki were both so angry that they didn't dare to breathe.

It was so miserable. Nearly 60,000 imperial soldiers, 38 infantry brigades and 21 temporary infantry brigades were all killed in battle. The result was so tragic!

But then again, this result was expected.

Last night, Okamura Yasuji had already expected this result.

After a while, Okamura Yasuji asked quietly again: "Where is the Guard Division?"

"Guard Division..." A strange look suddenly appeared on Hinata's face.

"What's wrong with the Guard Division?" Usa Mitsunobu asked in a deep voice, "Did the Guard Division fail to break through, and the nearly 40,000 imperial soldiers belonging to the dozen or so regiments have been broken together?"

"No, no, it's not like this." The strange look on Hinata's face turned into teasing, and he said, "The result is just the opposite. The more than a dozen regiments of the Guard Division belonging to the Guard Division basically broke through the siege. About half an hour ago, they had already completed the assembly around Zhuji."

"Nani?" Usa Mitsuro showed a look of surprise on his face.

A sick flush suddenly surged on Okamura's face.

The next moment, Okamura Yasuji suddenly overturned the chessboard in front of him on the ground, and the black and white chess pieces that were originally covered with chessboard immediately scattered all over the ground.

"Your Excellency Commander..." Usa Mitsuru was about to speak, but was interrupted by Okamura Yasuji.

Okamura Yasuji said: "Order the Guards Division to station on the Zhuji front line on the spot. The 17th Division and the 7th Army of the Imperial Army immediately retracted to the vicinity of Hangzhou. The 5th Division, the 15th Division, the 22nd Division and the Independent Mixed 11th Brigade left behind immediately with heavy equipment to withdraw back to Hangzhou!"
