Chapter 1698 The Fourth Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian
Maulanmian, the 25th Japanese Army Command.
Because the weather was too hot, Ishihara Kanir asked the commander to open up the front and back walls of the combat room, and then installed a high-power electric fan outside the window to provide cool breeze for a while.
But even so, everyone in the war room was sweating profusely.
Ishihara Kaner was also sweating profusely and had to wipe his face with a wet towel every few minutes.
After all, I am over fifty and almost sixty years old, and I can't keep up with my physical strength and energy.
Ishihara Kan's temper was originally very irritable. Now, because of the hot weather, coupled with the 8th Division and the 18th Division's failure to fight continuously, his temper was even worse.
Just now, Ishihara Kanir trained a staff officer and was so bloody.
The reason was that the Grand Secretary misprinted a mark on the map. Originally, it was just a trivial matter. Just remind the Grand Secretary to change it, but Ishihara Kaner caught the unlucky boy for more than a moment, and in the end, even Kazuo Tan could not stand it.
"Commander." Gu Dina Huaxiong stepped forward and interrupted the road, "The 18th Division urgently fired."
Ishihara Kaner turned around and stared at Kazuo Gu Di with a long look, and said in a deep voice: "Is there any progress on the 18th Division?"
"There is no progress." Gu Dina Huaxiong shook his head and replied with gloomy eyes. "The Chinese army on Paben and Dakun's line adopted the same tactics, which is the so-called elastic defense. Moreover, since the jungle terrain is more complex than the urban terrain, the situation of the 18th Division is even more difficult than that of the 8th Division."
After pausing, Gu Dina Huaxiong said again: "Only one day today, the 18th Division lost half of the infantry brigade's strength."
Hearing this, Ishihara Kan's face became even more embarrassing. It was the tenth day, and half an infantry brigade was found every day, which means that the 18th Division had lost five infantry brigades!
The five infantry brigades are already more than one and a half infantry regiments!
Fortunately, the 25th Army went to Myanmar this time, and the Southern Army Command realized in advance that this battle would be very difficult, so it prepared a supplementary corps for the 25th Army.
One supplementary corps under the jurisdiction of three supplementary corps, with more than 10,000 people.
After being supplemented by the front line, the 8th Division and the 18th Division still maintain the integrity of the system.
But even so, Ishihara Kanir knew very well that such supplements would not last long.
Because to this day, the supplementary corps allocated by the headquarters have basically been exhausted. Next, if there are any more casualties in the 8th Division and the 18th Division, there will be no way to obtain supplementary quotations in time.
Thinking of this, Ishihara Kaner felt inexplicably anxious.
"Elastic Defense!" Ishihara said hatefully, "It's this elastic defense tactic again!"
Speaking of this meal, Ishihara Kaner continued: "We had enough of the loss of elastic defense in the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield, but we didn't expect that when we arrived in Myanmar, we would have to suffer from this tactic!"
"Bagayalu, is this tactic really unsolvable?"
Gu Di Na Huaxiong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "At least there is no solution so far."
"Baga!" Ishihara cursed again, gritting his back teeth and said with a grim voice, "Now it seems that it is unlikely that Shindo City and Paben's front line will make it difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time."
"Hayi." Gu Di Na Huaxiong paused heavily and said with a dark face. "Although I am reluctant to admit it, the facts are facts after all. At least from the moment, it is difficult for Si to make a breakthrough in a short time. If the Imperial Army wants to open up the situation in a short time, it is probably only possible to seek a breakthrough from another direction."
"Another direction." Ishihara Kan's eyes began to move on the map.
A few seconds later, Ishihara Kan's eyes suddenly froze on the map.
...
Almost at the same time, in Yunxiu Tower, Huangshan, Chongqing.
Zhang Zhizhong was holding a large stack of telegrams and was reporting to Principal Chang about the situation of the war zones in the past two days.
"The Fifth War Zone, the Ninth War Zone, followed the command of the Command, recently organized many advance operations. Among them, Li Pin's 21st Army won several consecutive victories in eastern Hubei, and revived more than ten county towns including Yingshan, and seized a lot, but..."
"But what?" Principal Chang closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't hesitate, just say anything."
"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong agreed and said, "But after several victories, the officers and soldiers of the 21st Group Army inevitably relaxed, so they suffered several defeats in a row."
"My mother-in-law." Principal Chang's face immediately turned dark, "This Li Pinxian is not as good as Liao Lei."
After waved his hand, Principal Chang said again: "Forget it for other war zones, are there any good news in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone?"
On the day when the 25th Army of Ishihara Kanr arrived in Shindang Castle, the fourth Zhejiang-Fujian Battle was officially launched.
However, this time, the commanders of the Chinese and Japanese armies had been replaced. Yu Liangzhen, the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone of the National Army, finally became the real commander, and the commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese army also changed from Okamura Yasuji to Anan Weiji.
Anan Weiji's ability is not as good as Okamura Yasuji, and she is even a little stupid, but she also has a sense of stupidity, which means she has recognized a truth and never looks back until she dies.
So this time, Anan Weiji did not choose to attack the mountainous area in western Zhejiang like in the previous three battles, but turned around and pointed his finger directly at Yinjiang.
Anan Weiji used two divisions and an independent mixed brigade, plus seven divisions of the puppet army to block the main force of the National Army in Xinchang, Shengxian and Zhuji, and mobilized three divisions to launch a fierce attack on Yinjiang from two directions. However, the Yinjiangkou was calm and the Japanese did not choose this place as a breakthrough.
"No." Zhang Zhizhong shook his head and continued, "The 41st and 42nd Army of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone launched fierce attacks on the enemies of Zhuji, Xinchang and Sheng County, and fought hard for nearly ten days, but they were unable to make progress."
"Mom Xipi." Principal Chang couldn't help but swear, and said, "What about Yinjiang? Only Wang Yaowu's 10th Army stayed in Yinjiang. Can they withstand it?"
Zhang Zhizhong replied: "There is a telegram from Wang Yaowu here. He said that Yinjiang City is as solid as a rock, and the eldest son is very safe in Yinjiang City, so that the principal, you don't have to worry about this."
"What can I worry about him?" Principal Chang's face was a little unnatural, and he said, "I have said a long time ago that he is just a soldier in Yinjiang. He must be with him when he should go to the battlefield! My Chang Kaishen's son is human, can't the son of another family be human? If the son of another family dies, the son of the Chang family cannot die?"
