In Shanghai, the 13th Japanese Army Command.

Usa Mitsuru slept until after six in the morning, then got up and washed.

I slept for more than six hours last night, so when I woke up in the morning, Usa Mitsuru became much more energetic. Not only did I lose my dark circles, but my spirit was also restored to my original state.

After having some breakfast, Usa Mitsuru went to the combat hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Usa Mitsunobu saw Hinata standing in front of the sand table with a frown, not knowing what he was thinking.

Usa Mitsuki walked to Hinata Shiaki and said in a deep voice: "Higa Shiaki, what are you thinking?"

"Chief of Staff!" Hinata Shimiya paused his head to Usa Mitaka and continued, "Hui Shi is very confused and doesn't understand the Chinese army's intentions."

"Intention?" Usa Mitsuru said, "What happened last night?"

Hinata Shimiya replied: "About the early morning, not long after you left, the Fujijing Brigade Group reported that the First Battalion of Infantry, which was stationed in the private Yanqiao outside Fuyang City, was once again attacked by the Chinese army. This time, the Chinese army's attack was very strong, causing nearly 200 casualties to the Fujijing Brigade Group!"

"Nani?" Usa Mirō felt a slump when he heard this, "Nearly two hundred casualties?"

"Hayi." Hinata Shimiya paused her head and said, "More than a hundred of them were broken!"

"Baga! Why is this happening?" Usa Mitsuru frowned and said in a deep voice, "In theory, the target of the Chinese army should be the baggage troops. How could they attack the combat troops?"

"This is exactly what Bei Yi feels puzzled." Hinata said, "If Zhong Yi's mobile war is really just an upgraded version of the Eighth Route Army's sparrow war, then their priority target should be the baggage force, but now, the Chinese army is attacking the front-line combat troops."

After a moment of pause, Hinata Zhimei said again: "Did Zhong Yi only learn the fur of the Eighth Route Army?"

"This is absolutely impossible." Usa Mirō shook his head flatly, "If a person like Zhong Yi is really determined to learn the tactics of the Eighth Route Army, how could he only learn their fur?"

Hinata Shimiya said: "Then there must be articles in the middle."

"This is certain." Usa Mirō said, "I don't know what Zhong Yi's intention is."

Hinata Shiaki said again: "His Chief of Staff, Zhong Yi's true intention is still unclear. Do you need to adopt a more stable combat policy to minimize division of troops as much as possible?"

"No." Usa Mito waved his hand and said, "The established combat policy must not be changed. Although Zhong Yi's true intention is not clear, one thing is certain, that is, Zhong Yi will never easily choose to confront the Imperial Army head-on, so the two clusters on both sides can fully utilize Zhong Yi's idea to occupy the vast areas of central Zhejiang, western Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang in the shortest time. As long as you control various major transportation routes in Zhejiang Province, the next thing will be very simple."

Hinata Shimiya nodded and said, "I understand."

...

While the two were talking, the telecommunications room next door became busy again.

The phone ringtone and the beeping of sending and receiving newspapers rang out.

It is obvious that by this time, the various combat troops on the front line have advanced forward again.

Immediately afterwards, one communications officer after another and intelligence officer walked into the combat hall one after another and delivered one telegram or intelligence to the combat hall.

After receiving these telegrams or intelligence, the staff in the combat hall immediately carried out sand table operations, and marked the latest movements of the two clusters on the left and right of the Japanese army on the map and sand table.

But after landing in Wenzhou, the Japanese army's right-wing cluster soon divided into two groups. The 22nd Division crossed the Oujiang River and headed north along the Yin-Wen Highway to attack and advance towards Yueqing.

The 116th Division was divided into two routes, along the north and south banks of the Oujiang River, and headed straight to Qingtian.

According to the combat plan formulated by Mirō Usa, the 22nd Division will continue to advance to Yinjiang, while the 116th Division will advance to Jinhua through Lishui and Yongkang.

Jinhua was also selected by Mirō Usa, the place where the Japanese troops on both sides of the left and right were rendezvous.

Compared with the right-wing army, the left-wing army has progressed faster. In addition to the independent mixed 11th Brigade, it has advanced to Fuyang County, Yoshio Iwamatsu's 15th Division also crossed the Qiantang River to the east and launched an attack towards Xiaoshan County. In the next step, the 15th Division will push forward all the way to Shaoxing and Yuyao.

In the end, the 15th Division will meet with the 5th Division and the 22nd Division in Yinjiang, and then form an attack cluster in the direction of Yinjiang to launch a battle to resolve Yinjiang.

Usa Mirō thinks he is worthy of Zhong Yi enough because he has prepared three divisions of troops for Yinjiang!

As long as there is no accident in this, as long as these three divisions meet successfully outside Yinjiang City, the result of the Yinjiang Battle will be destined, and Zhong Yi will never make any waves.

In addition, after crossing the Qiantang River, the 17th Division of the left cluster turned south and attacked towards Ciwu Town and Zhuji. The goal of this division was to go south, meet with the 116th Division in Jinhua, and then join the independent 11th Brigade on the north bank of the Fuchun River to take on the task of blocking the reinforcements of Donglai China.

Looking at the red arrows that were constantly extending forward on the map and the increasing number of red triangle flags on the sand table, Usa Mitsuru's heart quickly calmed down.

In any case, their 13th Army had a certain advantage in military strength during this battle between Zhejiang and Fujian.

This was already very rare in previous battles, because from the beginning of the Battle of Songhu to the Battle of Suizao that had just ended, the Japanese army had never gained the advantage of military strength.

At this moment, another major staff officer hurried in.

When Usa Mitsuru looked back, it was Toshi Toshi, the chief of intelligence staff.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff!" Nagatoshi paused his head at Usa Mirō and said, "The Chinese army number that attacked the Fuji-i Brigade near the private salt bridge outside Fuyang Castle last night has been found out."

"Oh? So fast?" Usa Mitsuru said, "Which unit is it?"

Changjun said in a deep voice: "Hankou Camp, Rong 1st Division of the 41st Chinese Army!"

"Hankou Camp of the 1st Division of Ei-1?" Usa Mitsunobu said with a frown, "The troops that participated in the Battle of Wuhan?"
