Chapter 1230 Unexpected joy

In Yinjiang, Zhejiang and Fujian battles, the front enemy command.

He Wenxi couldn't stand it, so he went back to the dormitory to sleep.

Ding Bai hurried into the war room and reported: "Seat, what's going on?"

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yi said, "Deputy Director Ding, what makes you so angry?"

Ding Bai said: "Since the command has established the front-end enemy command of the Zhejiang-Fujian Battle, why should another front-end enemy command of the Central Zhejiang Battle?"

Zhong Yi said: "We can't control the affairs of the command."

Ding Bo said anxiously: "But isn't this a double command? When fighting, the most taboo thing is to make bulls, which will make the front-line troops at a loss!"

Zhong Yi said: "Deputy Director Ding, you are right. The most taboo thing in war is to make bulls. However, the establishment of the front-end enemy command in the Central Zhejiang Campaign is a fait accompli. We do not have the ability to change, but we can change ourselves. Therefore, from now on, we must fully cooperate with the front-end enemy command in the Central Zhejiang Campaign."

"Ah?" Ding Bo said in surprise, "We have to cooperate with them in turn?"

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "As long as you can win the battle, it's nothing to suffer a little."

On Yinjiang, only he and He Wenxi knew about Zhong Yi's big game. Even Ding Bo, who is also an underground party member, was kept in the dark. Similarly, only the top leaders of the National Army were President Chang, Lin Wei and Dai Li, and only a few others knew the real overall plan.

In a word, this confidentiality work has been done to the extreme!

"Okay." Ding Bo said helplessly, "Then how should we cooperate with them?"

Zhong Yi said: "I'm not worried about anything else, I'm worried that the front-line commanders will do whatever they want and fight the Japanese head-on battles with the Japanese when the situation is not superior, so I have to take a detachment from the Coast Defense Corps and go to assist in the battle."

"What?" Ding Bo said in a lost voice, "You want to take away a detachment from the Coast Defense Corps?"

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Even if eight divisions of the 41st Army joined the battlefield in Central Zhejiang, we still do not have an advantage in terms of military strength, so I have to lead another detachment from the Coastal Defense Corps. In this way, our army can gather 14 divisions in terms of military strength, which has an advantage over the five regiments of the Japanese."

Ding Bai said: "I'm afraid the Japanese are far more than five wings."

After pausing, Ding Bai took out two more telegrams and said to Zhong Yi: "This is a telegram just sent by the newly-edition 33rd Division and the 194th Division. The 22nd Division of the Japanese suddenly accelerated to the north, and it is very likely that it would also come to participate in the Battle of Central Zhejiang. The corps of the Fifth Division that had just landed from the Three Norths suddenly went south and approached Yuyao."

"So, the Japanese have nine corps?" Zhong Yi said, "In this case, it may not be enough for me to take one detachment from the Coast Defense Corps. I have to take two more detachments away, as well as the artillery regiment!"

"Ah?" Ding Bo said, "Sheng, will Yinjiang be too dangerous if this happens?"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Yinjiang has strong fortifications, and one division is enough."

Seeing that Zhong Yi had made up his mind, Ding Bai had to say helplessly: "When will you leave when will you leave?"

Zhong Yi said: "Soldiers are very fast. I am now ready to lead the first and third teams to set off."

...

At noon.

In Shanghai, the 13th Japanese Army Command.

Hinata Shiaki walked out of the communications office with a telegram, walked to Mitsuto Usa, stood attentively and reported, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, what an unexpected surprise!"

"An unexpected joy?" Usa Mitsuru looked up and asked, "What?"

Hinata Zhiming handed over the telegram and said excitedly: "Just just got the news, Zhong Yi had already left Yinjiang with two detachments of the Coastal Defense Corps. Now there is only one detachment left in Yinjiang City!"

After a pause, Hinata Zhimei said again: "Besides, the artillery regiment of the Coast Defense Corps was also taken away by Zhong Yi!"

"Is that true?" Usa Mirō's eyes lit up instantly and he said, "I didn't expect that our harassment of Xikou Town not only caught the big fish of the 41st Chinese Army, but also Zhong Yi took the bait?"

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, this is not surprising." Hinata said in a deep voice, "If I were Zhong Yi, I would have done this too. Personal honor and disgrace are minor, while national and national affairs are major! Since he has no ability to stop Chang Kaishen from forming another command center, he can only participate in it, do his best to strive for a good result!"

Usa Mitsuru smiled and said, "In this way, we have two different choices."

"Yes." Hinata Zhiming nodded happily, saying, "Now we can choose to attack and defend the empty Yinjiang River, or concentrate our troops to encircle and annihilate the main force of China on the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield in the Zhongshan District of Zhejiang!"

Usa Mitsuru asked, "Hinaga Shikun, which one do you think is better?"

Hinata Zhiming said: "I think it's better to attack Yinjiang directly."

"What's the reason?" Usa Mirō said, "Why is it better to attack Yinjiang directly?"

Hinata said: "The reason is very simple, because Yinjiang is a Chinese industrial base and is responsible for delivering military supplies to the Chinese army on the entire Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield. As long as the Yinjiang River is captured, the Chinese army on the entire Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield will immediately become a lonely ghost, and its combat effectiveness will be immediately weakened."

"But it is not easy to capture Yinjiang." Usa Mirō said, "Yinjiang not only has a detachment of the Coast Defense Corps, but more importantly, there is also a defensive fortification chain built by Zhong Yi for a lot of money!"

Speaking of this, Usa Mirō continued: "So, unless the Imperial Army can capture Yinjiang in a short period of time, as long as the stalemate exceeds three days, the other two detachments taken by Zhong Yi will quickly return to Yinjiang. Maybe more than a dozen divisions on the battlefield in Central Zhejiang will reinforce Yinjiang. In this way, the situation will turn into a decisive battle in Yinjiang."

"This..." Hinata Zhiming was speechless. The decisive battle in Yinjiang was something the Japanese army tried hard to avoid.

If we could fight decisively in Yinjiang, we would have no need to work on the Zhejiang-Fujian battle plan at the beginning. We would just put four and a half divisions on the wings of Yinjiang.

But this obviously doesn't work.

Because Yinjiang's fortifications are too strong, it does not mean that Yinjiang can't really be defeated, but the price to attack Yinjiang is too great to bear.
