Chapter 1249 Courage after knowing shame
On that day, Luo Zhengying and his party arrived at Songyang County.
At this time, the battlefields in Songyang County and Wutanjian Canyon had been cleaned, and the exact results had been roughly counted.
Luo Zhengying and Luo Weixiong were a little unbelievable about the counted numbers.
In this battle in Songyang County, including Wutanjian Canyon, their 41st Army killed more than 12,000 Japanese soldiers and captured more than 1,000 alive!
The main materials seized were 24 75mm caliber mountain cannons, 40 70mm caliber Type 92 infantry cannons, 16 37mm caliber chariot defense cannons, 186 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 351 squinted light machine guns, 191 grenade cannons, more than 10,200 Type 38 rifles, more than 13,000 bayonets, and about half a base of ammunition.
"Commander-in-Chief, the number is wrong." Zhu Liangcheng said after looking at it, "There should be a considerable number of weapons and equipment hidden by the Japanese, and then send troops to find them."
After Zhu Liangcheng said that Luo Zhengying discovered that this number is indeed wrong.
At that moment, Luo Zhengying said to Chief of Staff Luo Weixiong: "Chief Luo, immediately send troops to clean up the battlefield again, and there must be no omissions."
"Yes." Luo Weixiong immediately turned around and arranged.
Luo Zhengying said to Zhu Liangcheng again: "Teacher Zhu, it seems that the number of Japanese devils is not as good as that?"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Zhu Liangcheng said, "A part of the Japanese defeated soldiers fled into the Niutou Mountain area."
"Some of the Japanese defeated soldiers fled to Niutou Mountain? This is not possible." Luo Zhengying said, "This will bring a catastrophe to the people in the mountains."
After a pause, Luo Zhengying turned around and said loudly: "Where is Teacher Sun?"
Sun Liren, the commander of the new 38th Division, responded and said loudly: "Here!"
Luo Zhengying said: "Your new 38th Division did not get a big battle in this battle of Songyang. I know you are unhappy. Now a good opportunity has come. The task of chasing and suppressing the devas soldiers will be handed over to your division."
"Yes!" Sun Liren replied with a loud bang, "The New 38th Division guarantees to complete the mission!"
After saying that, Sun Liren hurriedly left, and Luo Zhengying turned his gaze to Zhu Liangcheng again: "Teacher Zhu, where is Brother Zi Ren?"
Zhu Liangcheng said lightly and said, "Chief Zhong said that Yinjiang may be in danger next, so he has already rushed back to Yinjiang with the Coast Defense Corps. He repeatedly reminded me to express his apology to the Commander-in-Chief and several military captains."
Hearing Zhu Liangcheng's words, the three commanders Sun Yuanliang, Feng Shengfa and Gui Yongqing just snorted.
Because the command power was deprived, the three commanders could only beat the side drums, and Sun Yuanliang and others naturally would not have a good face toward Zhong Yi, the initiator.
After hearing this, Luo Zhengying's face froze and said deeply: "Yes, the next step is the key battle of this Zhejiang-Fujian Battle. Yin Jiang is afraid that he will fight a tough battle!"
...
Shanghai, the 13th Japanese Army Command.
After being scolded by Nishio Suzusa, Usa Mitsuru finally woke up.
Yes, the Zhejiang-Fujian battle has not ended, and he, Mitsunori, still has not lost!
Usa Mitaka, who woke up, summoned Hinata Shiaki and a group of combat staff to begin researching countermeasures.
Hinata Shiaki glanced at Nishio Shouzuo, and then said to Usa Mitsuro: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is one thing I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"You said." Usa Mito nodded.
Hinata said: "Actually, from the beginning, I thought it seemed more advantageous to directly attack Yinjiang."
"You're right." Usa Mirō nodded, "The collective jade shattered by the 116th Division is enough to show that directly attacking Yinjiang is more beneficial than fighting the Chinese army in Xinsheng. If I chose to directly attack Yinjiang, there would be no collective jade shattered by the 116th Division. However, it is not too late to fix the siege!"
Hinata Shiaki said: "What does the Chief of Staff mean?"
Usa Mirō said: "It's time to attack Yinjiang now!"
Speaking of this, Usa Mirō pointed at the sand table and said, "Look at it, Songyang County is far away from the mountainous area of western Zhejiang, and the straight-line distance from Yinjiang is more than 500 miles. The actual distance is probably at least a thousand miles away! For such a long distance, even if you march at the speed of a forced marching, you will need to walk at least seven or eight days!"
Hinata Shiaki said: "But in fact, the Chinese army will not reach Yinjiang for seven or eight days!"
"Yes." Usami pointed his head solemnly and said, "Although the 116th Division has been broken, it is the Imperial A-type division. In order to win this battle, the 41st Army of China will definitely suffer heavy casualties, so the 41st Army will need to rest for at least three days!"
Hinata Zhimei said: "That is to say, within ten days, the 41st Chinese Army will never reach Yinjiang."
"It's not just the 41st Army, but the two detachments of Zhong Yi Haidian Defense Corps cannot reach Yinjiang either." Usa Mirō smiled grimly and said again, "Because from Xinchang between Wuyi and Yinjiang, Shengxian County has been occupied by the Imperial Army. When the Coast Defense Corps returns to Yinjiang, they will be blocked."
Speaking of this, Usa Mirō said again: "Now, it's the imperial army's turn to block the Chinese army!"
Hinata Shiaki waved his fist vigorously and said excitedly: "In other words, within ten days, Yin Jiang will not receive reinforcements from one soldier and one soldier, so he will only rely on his existing forces to defend the enemy!"
At this time, Nishio Suzuo interrupted and said, "How many troops are there in Yinjiang?"
Hinata Zhimei said: "Yinjiang now has a detachment of the Zhejiang East China Sea Defense Corps, with more than 10,000 people."
Usa Mirō said: "There are the 62nd Division resting in Fenghua and the 61st Division resting in Yuyao. Together, these two divisions still have about 10,000 people."
Nishio Shouzao said: "In other words, there are about 20,000 troops in Yinjiang?"
"Yes." Usami said with a grand emphasis, "At most, some militias are added."
"Yo Xi." Nishio Shouzuo nodded happily, "So how many troops can the imperial army concentrate?"
Hinata Chiaki said: "The 21st Infantry Brigade of the Fifth Division has landed in the Three Norths. Given that there is no enemy situation in Fuchun Jiangbei, there is no need for the 11th Infantry Regiment to stay in Hangzhou and can be transferred to Yinjiang at any time. Therefore, the number of troops that the Imperial Army can mobilize is the Fifth Division, the 22nd Division, the 15th Division or the 17th Division! Because one division must be left to restrain the 10th China Army."
Usa Mirō said: "The 17th Division stayed on the Xinsheng battlefield to restrain the 10th China Army, and at the same time blocked the Zhong Yihai Defense Corps, which was about to return from Songyang."
Chapter completed!
