In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

Time came August 8, 1939.

At noon, the office was quiet, and Usa Mitsuru was sitting on the tatami reading quietly.

A sound of footsteps came from outside the office, and then the door was removed. Then Hinata Shiaki's figure bowed his head and walked in, bowing deeply to Usa Mitsuru.

After bowing, Hinata Shiaki stood up and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Sakamoto Detachment has entered Camel Town!"

"Yosi." Usa Mitsuno nodded happily, "I finally failed the full assistance of the aviation force."

Hinata Shimiya said in a deep voice: "When it comes to the aviation corps, the Chief of Staff, the 15th Division, the 17th Division, the 22nd Division, and even the Oikawa Detachment, they have a lot of opinions."

He paused and continued, "They all said that you are biased by yourselves, Your Excellency Chief of Staff."

"Precent?" Usa Mitaka sneered, raised the book in his hand and asked, "Hinaga Shikun, do you know what book the book in my hand is?"

Hinata Shiaki shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"The title of this book is "Strategic Issues of the Chinese Revolutionary War", which was written by the leader of the Communist Party of China Mao." Usa Mitsuro put the bookmarks down, then put the book down and stood up, "The book put forward a point of view, which I think is very reasonable."

Hinata Shiaki frowned and said, "What's the point?"

Usa Mitsunobu said: "He said that it is better to cut off one of the fingers than to hurt a person than to hurt a ten fingers. It is better to annihilate one of the troops than to defeat a ten divisions! This is actually a deeper expression of the principle of concentrated use of troops and firepower! A deep interpretation full of Chinese characteristics and Chinese wisdom."

Hinata said: "That is why the Chief of Staff ordered the 3rd Flying Regiment to give up the air fire support to the 15th Division and other regiments, and instead fully support the Sakamoto Detachment's operations?"

"Yes." Usami said solemnly, "The aeronautical gasoline provided by the Navy is very limited, which is not enough to ensure large-scale air support to each division. At this time, if the air support of the 3rd Flying Regiment is distributed to each division, the divisions will not receive effective support."

Hinata Shiaki immediately said: "But it would be different if he went all out to support Sakamoto's detachment."

"Yes." Usa Mitsuto nodded slightly and said, "If the 3rd Flight Regiment goes all out and provides air firepower support to the Sakamoto Detachment, then the air firepower of the 3rd Flight Regiment can be sufficient to become a key factor in the victory or defeat of the war!"

"Practical combat has also proved this. The air firepower support of the 3rd Flying Regiment has indeed become a key factor in the battlefield in the direction of the Jiangbei region." Hinata Shimei nodded and said, "What I want to ask is why did Your Chief of Staff choose to let the 3rd Flying Regiment support the Sakamoto Detachment? Instead of the Oikawa Detachment or other divisions?"

After a pause, Hinata Shiaki said again: "In contrast, the Oikawa Detachment has a complete artillery cluster. If there is support from the 3rd Flying Regiment, wouldn't the firepower advantage be more obvious?"

Usa Mirō's eyes became cold and he said in a deep voice: "The reason is very simple, because Zhong Yi is there!"

"Zhong Yi?" Hinata Zhiaki said, "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff said that Zhong Yi personally commanded the battlefield in Jiangbei?"

"Yes, although there is no evidence, I can feel that Zhong Yi is in command of the Jiangbei battlefield!" Usa Mirō nodded and said, "If you want to capture Yinjiang, you must defeat Zhong Yi!"

Hinata Shiaki said sternly: "So...so...so!"

...

In Yinjiang, Luotuo Town.

Zhong Yi was taking a nap in a daze and suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then woke up from his sleep.

Sitting up and looking around, I saw Xu Chao, Xiao Liu and hundreds of remaining soldiers from the 5th Regiment were still sleeping soundly.

Although Zhong Yi personally directed the Kowloon Lake and the 5th Regiment was equipped with more than 50 Bazuka bazooka shots, the gap between it and the Sakamoto Detachment was still too big.

Bazuka participated in the war for the first time. Although it caused a heavy blow to the Sakamoto Detachment and severely damaged the artillery cluster and chariot troops of the Sakamoto Detachment in one fell swoop, it is very unfortunate that the damage to the Sakamoto Detachment's troops was actually not serious.

After reacting, Sakamoto's detachment immediately launched a fierce offensive with its advantages in military strength and individual combat power.

What's worse is that the Japanese Air Force bombarded the battlefield of Jiulong Lake like crazy.

Faced with the insurgent bombing of the Japanese aviation army and the crazy attack of the Sakamoto Detachment, the 5th Regiment was also unbearable.

In less than three days, the 5th Regiment retreated from Jiulong Lake to Luoluo Town, and Luotuo Town became the last barrier to protect Jiangbei city.

As long as the Japanese occupy Luotuo Town, they can directly launch an attack on Jiangbei District.

This is not the worst. The worst thing is that as the Sakamoto Detachment opened a gap in Kowloon Lake, the defensive fortification chain built by the Coast Defense Corps on the periphery of Yinjiang also became disconnected.

Longshan Town on the right side of Jiulong Lake was surrounded by the Japanese. After three days of fierce fighting, all the battalions of the 63rd Division guarding Longshan Town died heroically.

Immediately afterwards, Cicheng on the left wing of Jiulong Lake was surrounded by the Japanese on three sides. After two fierce street battles, the 187th Regiment of the 63rd Division was killed or injured more than half of them, and they had to withdraw from Cicheng.

The 63rd Division's headquarters was also forced to retreat from Baoguo Temple to Zhuangqiao Town.

After Cicheng was lost, Gaoqiao Town was immediately surrounded by the Japanese.

In this situation, after the Sakamoto detachment opened the gap from the direction of Kowloon Lake, it seemed as if it had opened the zipper and pulled down the chain one by one, and the entire fortification chain was about to collapse.

Of course, the most serious situation is the direction of Jiangbei and Luotuo Town.

...

It was too hot, and Zhong Yi took off his helmet and was about to fan the air and cool down when he suddenly heard a faint buzz in his ears.

In an instant, Zhong Yi's face collapsed, and he was so fucked again. The goddamn Japanese are really endless? Aviation gasoline is not expensive, but aviation bombs are not expensive?

The next moment, Zhong Yi bounced up from the ground.

"Wake up, wake up!" Zhong Yi shouted, "The Japanese have air strike!"

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the 5th Regiment were sleeping heavily and they were not too late to shout one by one, Zhong Yi immediately picked up Fang Xiaoliu's submachine gun and shot him at the top of his head.

"Da da da da da da..."

The fierce gunfire instantly shattered the quiet afternoon.

The officers and soldiers of the 5th Regiment who were sleeping soundly woke up one after another.

Then, hundreds of remaining officers and soldiers entered the underground bunker one after another.

Zhong Yi also took Xu Chao and Fang Xiaoliu to hide in an underground bunker.

The three of them had just been dodged, and the aviation bombs fell down one by one and immediately exploded.

Amid the violent explosion, Zhong Yi and the other two could clearly feel that the ground under their feet was trembling violently. When they saw the momentum, they knew that the Japanese had dispatched at least twenty bombers this time!
