At dawn, the 41st Army Command retreated to Pujiang County.

As soon as he settled down, Lin Wei had not even had time to sit down and drink a little hot tea, Chief of Staff Luo Weixiong hurried into his office with two telegrams.

In contrast, Luo Weixiong's spirit is much better.

Last night, Luo Weixiong slept in the car all night.

Luo Weixiong said: "The chief minister, here is a telegram from the 9th Division and a telegram from the chief executive."

Lin Wei said: "First talk about the telegram from the 9th Division of Rong, what did you say?"

Luo Weixiong said: "The 9th Division of Rong reported that the Japanese cavalry brigade that had penetrated from Quantang Town had already rushed into the vicinity of Tongshan Town this morning."

"What did you say?" Lin Wei snatched the telegram and shouted in dismay, "This cavalry brigade of the Japanese has rushed into the vicinity of Tongshan Town? So fast!"

When I looked closely, I saw that the telegram copy paper was clearly written.

"Impossible!" Lin Wei still couldn't believe it and said loudly, "The cavalry brigade of the Japanese rushed into the vicinity of Quantang Town last evening. He arrived at Tongshan Town this morning. The two towns are nearly a hundred miles apart. Could it be that the cavalry brigade of the Japanese did not rest last night and was marching all the time?"

"It must be like this." Luo Weixiong said, "Otherwise it wouldn't have appeared in Tongshan Town!"

"But this does not conform to the style of the Japanese." Lin Wei said, "The Japanese rarely march at night."

Luo Weixiong said: "The Japanese rarely march at night, but they are not absolutely not march at night. Sometimes they will march at night in order to seize time or achieve tactical intentions."

"This is going to be troublesome!" Lin Wei frowned, "Tongshan Town is stuck on the highway. Although the personnel who have been removed from the front line can bypass Tongshan Town from the small road, the baggage cannot bypass!"

Although the 41st Army did not have a few trucks, there were many horse-drawn carriages and chariots.

These carriages and chariots cannot walk on mountain roads, so they must take the highway.

Luo Weixiong said again: "The chief commander and the chief commander's command to keep two divisions on the front line to block the attack, and all the other four divisions retreated and immediately launched an attack on the enemy in Tongshan Town!"

After a moment of pause, Luo Weixiong said again: "This is a dead order. The chief officer will restrict us from annihilation of the Japanese entrenched in Tongshan Town before dawn tomorrow!"

"Before dawn tomorrow?" Lin Wei said with a sniff, "Is this a joke?"

"No joke, the command from the Chief Office said so." Luo Weixiong handed over the telegram after he said that.

Lin Wei received the telegram and saw that what was written on it was indeed what Luo Weixiong said, restricting them from annihilation of the enemy entrenched in Tongshan Town before dawn tomorrow and ending the battle.

Lin Wei subconsciously wanted Luo Weixiong to send a telegram to the superior department for verification.

But before he could say anything, Lin Wei suddenly thought of another thing and asked: "Is there anything unusual about the front-line divisions?"

Luo Weixiong sighed and said, "Except for the Rong 3rd Division, the Rong 9th Division is still in Daicun Town, and Puyang Town confronts the Japanese. The other Rong 1st Division, Rong 2nd Division, Rong 4th Division, and Rong 7th Division had already moved to Zhuji County last night. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have almost surrounded Tongshan Town."

Lin Wei immediately said deflatedly: "As the Chief Office has issued orders to the divisions, why do we need our Army Command? We can simply withdraw."

At this moment, Lin Wei finally realized Zhong Yi, the former subordinate of the domineering man.

That's really a bit of affection. If you say that you are more commanding than you are, you will be more commanding than you are.

Luo Weixiong wanted to persuade him, but in the end he still held back. What's there to say? If Lin Wei is smart enough, he should not do anything. Anyway, he doesn't have to bear the responsibility if he loses the battle in the end. If he wins, all the credit will be his. Although Zhong Yi is abusing his power, he will never take the credit.

The key is that Zhong Yi also has the support of the war zone commander Yu Liangzhen.

After a while, Lin Wei said, "Chief of Staff, let's have a meal."

"Okay." Luo Weixiong quickly ordered the chef to serve the meal.

...

Xiaoshan County, the Japanese Guard Division Headquarters.

Iida Yoshiro got up early in the morning and had just played with swords in the yard twice. Chief of Staff Atsushita rushed in excitedly.

"Second Commander, there is good news!" Kinoshita Yuki rushed to Yoshiro Iida, stood attentively and paused, "The Southern Brigade has already rushed to the vicinity of Tongshan Town!"

"Oh, is that?" Yoshijiro Iida said happily, "This is really good news."

After pausing, Iida Xiangjiro continued to ask: "So, what is the reaction of the Chinese army? Are you panicking?"

Kinishi Yu said: "After all, the 41st Army is an elite in China, so there is no panic, but Zhong Yi's reaction is exactly the same as the division commander's estimate of him."

"Oh, is that?" said Yoshijiro Iida, "Jong Yi really wants to eat the southern brigade?"

"Hai." Kinoshita Yukawa paused and said, "The Southern Brigade reported that half an hour ago, the main force of the 41st Chinese Army appeared near Tongshan Town. Judging from the number, there were at least four divisions!"

"Four divisions?" Yoshijiro Iida said, "Immediately request the aviation force to dispatch reconnaissance aircraft to verify."

Kinoshita said: "Please rest assured, the division commander, Huyi has already telegraphed Hangzhou's Amaranth Airport and requested the 3rd Flight Regiment to send a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance on Tongshan Town."

"Yo Xi!" Yoshiro Iida said again, "Order the 1st Guards Brigade to strengthen its offensive and defeat the frontal enemy as soon as possible. The 2nd Guards Brigade will detour from the flanks. The 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 4th Field Artillery Corps must also advance as soon as possible! Give enough artillery support to the 1st Guards Brigade."

"Hayi." Kinoshita Yuki's head was slammed.

Watching Kishita Yuki walk away, Iida Shojiro no longer has the intention of playing with his sword. He immediately took the hot towel from the serviceman and wiped his face, then hurried to the war room.

When Yoshijiro Iida walked into the war room, the combat staff of the General Staff had already completed the work on the map.

Iida Xiangjiro's eyes fell on the map, and he saw a red arrow composed of the 1st Guards Brigade pointed straight towards Zhuji, while another red arrow composed of the 2nd Guards Brigade was close to the east bank of the Fuchun River and detoured from the left, the direction of the detour was opposite to the southern brigade.

Let’s look at Tongshan Town where the southern brigade is located.

I saw six large blue arrows appearing outside Tongshan Town.

Behind these six large blue arrows, code names are marked respectively.

Because the specific number has not been clarified yet, it is just a code name.

Looking at the six huge blue arrows, a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of Iida Xiangjiro's mouth.

It would be too arrogant to Zhong Yi want to swallow the Southern Brigade in one bite. This time, their Guards Division will complete a zero breakthrough against Zhong Yi!
Chapter completed!
