Chapter 1430 Fighting the War of Destruction
It was already late at night when Zhong Yi returned to Huzhen.
After evacuating Lanxi, Jinhua, Yu Liangzhen set up his chief headquarters in Hu Town, Longyou County.
The reason why Yu Liangzhen chose Hu Town as his chief official is that he has two considerations: one is because Hu Town is on a major traffic road, and the other is that the radar station is Hu Town.
The chief's headquarters is located in Huzhen, which is more conducive to defense.
When Zhong Yi came back, Yu Liangzhen and Xuan Tiewu were whispering to the anti-enemy self-defense regiment.
Seeing Zhong Yi walking in, Yu Liangzhen immediately left Xuan Tiewu and walked over to ask Zhong Yi: "Zi Ren, have the 50 P-40 fighters from the 1st Flight Brigade of the 1st Aviation Division arrived at Quzhou Airport?"
"Here." Zhong Yi said, "has been parked in the hangars on both sides of the airport."
"That's great." Yu Liangzhen slammed hard and said, "Oh by the way, has the bomb in place?"
Zhong Yi shook his head and nodded, and then said, "There are not all in place, but it is barely enough. At least there is no problem in launching a wave of air strikes on important targets."
"What are you waiting for?" Yu Liangzhen said excitedly, "Hurry up and start!"
Zhong Yi laughed and said, "Master, now it's at night. Without ground light guidance and infrared instruments, our fighter jets are blind and cannot fight at all."
"Oh yes, then wait for tomorrow." Yu Liangzhen said.
Xuan Tiewu asked, "What is an infrared instrument?"
"It's just a lighting technology." Zhong Yi realized that he had missed his mouth and said nonsensely, "Master, I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, so I have to wait a little longer."
"Will you wait?" Yu Liangzhen said, "When will you wait?"
Zhong Yi pointed to the map and said, "Now the location of the Japanese Guard Division is still near Yiwu County, only more than 100 kilometers away from Hangzhou, and the distance between the Japanese troops on both wings is even closer. At this time, a counterattack will be at most a defeat. It is impossible to completely wipe out."
"Total annihilation?" Yu Liangzhen and Xuan Tiewu looked at each other.
Before this, Zhong Yi had never exposed this intention.
Therefore, in Yu Liangzhen and Xuan Tiewu's subconscious, being able to repel the attack of the Guard Division and defend the Zhejiang-Western and Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highways was already the greatest victory.
They never expected that Zhong Yi's goal was to completely wipe out the Guards Division.
"Yes, total annihilation." Zhong Yi nodded and said confidently, "Either don't fight or just fight an annihilation war! What's the meaning of a defeat war? Annihilation war is interesting."
"The question is, is it possible?" Xuan Tiewu said with a sniff. "The Guards Division is a big favorite. Even if the 1st Cavalry Brigade is gone, the total force is still more than 50,000, which is equivalent to two A-type divisions!"
"There is nothing impossible." Zhong Yi said, "as long as we dare to think and do it!"
Yu Liangzhen's eyes moved when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "Zi Ren, tell me what you think."
"My idea is very simple!" Zhong Yi slapped his hand on the map and said, "As long as the heavy artillery cluster of the Guards Division is destroyed, the Guards Division will basically lose its ability to attack! At this time, if my 41st Army takes counter-encirclement, the Guards Division will most likely turn off attack to defend, and hold on to support!"
"You mean, the Guards Division chose to hold on without retreating?" Yu Liangzhen asked.
"Yes, the Guard Division will definitely hold on!" Zhong Yi said, "because neither Okamura nor Yokoro Iida will miss such an opportunity, an opportunity to wipe out my 41st Army!"
"This takes a lot of risk." Xuan Tiewu said in a deep voice, "As you said, if the situation of the war does not develop as you think, then the 41st Army will be surrounded by the Japanese army in turn. After all, the four Japanese divisions on the left and right wings will soon come to reinforce! Then give us a four-sided encirclement and the center will be finished!"
"Commander General Xuan is too worried. There will be no four divisions, at most two!" Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "The Fifteenth Division on the right wing dare not come."
Yu Liangzhen frowned and said, "Even if only two divisions rushed over to reinforce, we have no chance of winning, because we don't have any advantage in terms of military strength."
Zhong Yi said: "This is why I insist on leading the Japanese to Jinhua!"
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Because after we arrived in Jinhua, we have the advantage of equipment! We can obtain nearby firepower support from the 1st Aviation Division stationed at Quzhou Airport!"
Yu Liangzhen's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, we have an air force!"
Xuan Tiewu was also excited and said, "Damn it, after so long, our Chinese Army can finally get firepower support from the Air Force on the battlefield. Just think about it and make me excited!"
Yu Liangzhen said: "But Ziren, the Japanese aviation army will definitely launch a large-scale counterattack."
"It's okay." Zhong Yi smiled, "The radar station on the ancestral grave mountain is our loyal sentinel. It will tell the 1st Aviation Division in advance!"
...
At the same time, it was at the 13th Japanese Army Command of Shanghai.
Okamura Yasuji and Usa Mitsuru are still struggling to analyze Zhong Yi’s intentions.
After analyzing for a long time, there was still no conclusion. Okamura Yanji frowned and said, "Hinaga Shijun, please call Kawashima's agency and ask them what they have found there?"
"Hayi!" Hinata Shia paused, walked to the side and called.
Okamura Nagato said to Usa Mitsuro again: "Usa Mitsuk, what medicine do you think Zhong Yi sells in the gourd?"
Usa Mitsuro suddenly said: "Commander, may we think too much? Zhong Yi actually has no good idea, he just responds passively."
"This possibility is not ruled out." Okamura Yanji nodded, and then said, "But, I always feel that Zhong Yi shouldn't be so honest. Seeing that our noose was already on his neck, we didn't struggle for a moment. At least we should let the 10th Army take the initiative to attack and support it, right?"
Usa Mitsuru was speechless.
After a moment of silence, Hinata Shiaki came back.
"His Excellency Commander." Hinata said first, "Kawashima authorities reported that the Chinese government seemed to have transported dozens of fighter jets back to Kunming through Myanmar. The specific model and purpose are unknown."
"Does of fighter jets?" Okamura Yanji was not at all relieved, and waved his hand and said, "I understand."
Okamura Yasuji did not take these few dozen fighter jets seriously. It was not that he was careless, but that he really didn't think that dozens of fighter jets could cause any storm. After all, the 3rd Flight Regiment, which belongs to their 13th Army, had six squadrons, totaling more than 100 bombers and fighter jets.
