In Shanghai, the 13th Army Command.

A communications officer walked into the war room and handed a telegram to Hinata Shiaki.

After reading the telegram, Hinata Shimiya immediately found Usa Mitsuto who was resting on the side and reported: "His Chief of Staff, the Chinese army from the Central Zhejiang direction is really here!"

Usa Mitsuru opened his eyes suddenly.

Hinata Shimiya said again: "The 54th Infantry Regiment reported that they had just been besieged by the Chinese army from three directions and were in danger of being surrounded by the Chinese army. The division headquarters of the 17th Division had just sent a telegram asking to put the other two infantry regiments into combat and implement a counter-encirclement of the Chinese army."

Usa Mitsuru stroked the armrest of the mahogany chair twice, and sighed: "It's really a mahogany chair, the lines are as smooth and smooth as women's skin."

"Nani? Mahogany chair?" Hinata was shocked when she heard this, and she couldn't keep up with Usa Mitsuto's thinking. Isn't this just talking about the war in Central Zhejiang? Why did she suddenly pull the mahogany chair and the woman on it?

"Yes, the mahogany chair." Usa Mitsuto nodded, "Hinaga Shikun, do you know that although mahogany is an excellent wood, to make furniture, it must go through an extremely important process, which is to dry it. If the drying time is not enough or the heat is insufficient, the furniture made will not be durable and will not be as smooth as silk."

"Check?" Hinata said suddenly, "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff said that it is not yet time for the 17th Division to invest in the other two infantry regiments and implement reverse siege?"

"Yes." Usa Mirō nodded and said, "Now the Chinese army in the direction of Ciwu Town has just launched, and it is just a tentative attack. Once it is discovered that something is wrong, they can easily escape! Only when they have fully committed themselves and are already in a deep mud, will the 17th Division counterattack be the best effect."

"Hayi." Hinata Shia said, "I understand."

...

Xiaoshan County, the garrison of the 17th Japanese Division.

"Nani?" Hiroyoshi Hirono looked at his chief of staff with a little surprise, saying, "The headquarters does not allow reinforcements?"

"Hai." Chief of Staff Shimaehishi said, "the headquarters said the time has not come."

"Baga, what kind of time is the time?" Hirono Takiyoshi said angrily, "The Chinese army has emerged and has already been deployed in front of our 17th Division. This is the time. Why do you have to wait? When the Chinese army finds things impossible and starts to retreat, they will attack again? At that time, they will miss the opportunity!"

In a word, Hirono Takiyoshi never worried about the safety of the 54th Infantry Regiment.

The reason why Hirono Takiyoshi was anxious to order the other two infantry regiments to attack was just to bite the opposite Chinese army as soon as possible and then destroy it near Ciwu Town.

Therefore, Hirono Takiyoshi was very dissatisfied with the command of the headquarters.

However, Hirono Takiki is not a young adviser and has little ambition, so he finally decided to obey the order.

After complaining, Hirono Takiyoshi said to Shimaehishi: "Order, the 55th Infantry Regiment, the 56th Infantry Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment should not act rashly."

"Hayi!" Shimaebishi paused.

...

In Yinjiang, Zhejiang and Fujian, the enemy's staff was in the battle of the front.

The battle reports from each front were generally transmitted, and Zhong Yi kept giving various instructions.

"Reported that Hankou Camp had a small-scale firefight with the Japanese cavalry team at Longkengwu and has now retreated to Tianmu Mountain."

"knew."

"Reported that the main force of Rong 1 Division is moving from Daleishan to Lin'an County. Commander Zhu called for follow-up plans."

"Telection to Rong 1st Division and continue moving north."

"Report that the Rong 2nd Division has entered Jiande and ask for follow-up actions."

“Stay on the spot.”

"Report, the newly compiled 33rd Division report, the Japanese army has advanced to Menkan Mountain, Commander Zhong asked if he would block the attack?"

"It can be blocked, but it must be avoided. Once the Japanese army is found to have put in heavy troops, they will evacuate immediately."

"Reported that a large number of Japanese ships were found on the sea surface of the three northeastern Cixi."

"I understand, I'll call Commander Zhang to monitor closely."

"Report, Haining Salt Police reported that a group of Japanese Marines in the salt field were rushing to land on the beach."

"Tele to Commander Yu, and ask him to immediately lead the Sixth Regiment to rush to Haining to destroy this group of Japanese Navy!"

"Reported, Director Lu just called and there were unknown militants in Jiangbei setting fires in markets, schools and other places, which has caused hundreds of people to be killed or injured."

"Order Director Lu to kill those who are on fire!"

"Reported, a secret message was sent from the Jinhua Station of the Military Commission. The main force of the Japanese 17th Division has not yet left Xiaoshan County."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi finally frowned and did not give instructions immediately. This situation was a bit beyond his expectations. The main force of the Japanese 17th Division did not implement a counter-encirclement as soon as possible?

He Wenxi was also puzzled and said, "Strange, this doesn't look like the style of a Japanese."

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "In the past, whenever the Japanese discovered the main force of the National Army, they immediately rushed forward like chicken blood, and insisted on putting the main force of the National Army to death. But this time, the three main divisions of the 28th Army had been placed in front of the Japanese, and the 17th Division was indifferent?"

He Wenxi suddenly had a whim and said, "Sheng, do you think there will be factional disputes over the Japanese? Will Hiroye, the commander of the 17th Division, want to take this opportunity to destroy the 54th Infantry Regiment?"

"No." Zhong Yi shook his head apart and said, "Although there are factions on the Japanese, as far as I know, there are imperial sects and establishment sects, their factions are only in the army of officers, and the soldiers are not involved, so it is impossible for the division commander to take the opportunity to get rid of a certain corps."

"This is strange." He Wenxi said, "This is not very consistent with the Japanese's behavioral logic."

Zhong Yi pondered and said, "Director He, do you think there is such a possibility? The 17th Division actually wanted to implement the anti-encirclement as soon as possible, but Usa Mirō refused to let it go?"

"Miro Usa doesn't let him?" He Wenxi said, "Why?"

"The reason is very simple." Zhong Yi said, "If I were Usa Mirō, I would never have allowed the 17th Division to implement a counter-encirclement at this time, because at this time the three main divisions of the 28th Army have not been fully invested. Once the 17th Division invests all the main forces, my three main divisions can run away."
