After a while, Kyosaki Ton, the captain of Kyosaki Detachment, came over.

Kunisaki Ton is very short but strong, and is a typical Japanese soldier.

When he saw Yanagawa Heisuke, he paused and said, "Commander, the Kinshan Acropolis and the dozen surrounding villages are all empty. Not only are the Chinese soldiers not found, but there are no Chinese people!"

"Baga!" Yanagawa Heisuke said, "This is the scorched earth policy of the Chinese people!"

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "Where have the vanguard infantry reached?"

Guozaki Ton replied: "The 1st Forward Infantry Battalion has arrived near Zhangyan."

Yamada Tetsujiro next to him quickly asked the two combat staff to spread the map out.

Yanagawa Heisuke's eyes fell on the map and saw the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway at a glance.

He immediately pointed to the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and said, "Tazaki-kun and Yamada-kun, according to the aviation scout report, the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway is rushing to transport supplies and equipment to the mainland of China day and night. If we can cut off this railway line in time, we can crush the Chinese government's attempt to transport supplies and equipment."

"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro paused his head, then pointed to the map and said, "There is also the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway. As long as these two transportation lines are cut off, it can not only crush the Chinese government's attempt to transport materials and equipment, but also encircle and annihilate more than 90 divisions on the Songhu battlefield in the western Shanghai area."

"Yoxi." Yanagawa Heisuke nodded happily and continued, "In this way, the war potential of the Chinese government will be greatly weakened, and the process of the empire's conquest of China will be greatly accelerated!"

Yamada Tetsujiro said again: "The Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway both pass through Songjiang. If you want to cut off these two transportation lines, you must occupy Songjiang County. However, there is only one highway from Jinshan Acropolis to Songjiang County, and Jinshan County is the only obstacle on this highway! The Chinese army must have mobilized heavy troops to set up defenses!"

"Hateful!" Yanagawa Heisuke gritted his teeth and said, "If the Chinese army had not been delayed for two days in the Jinshan Guard, the Chinese army would not have time to mobilize troops, so we could easily capture Jinshan County and even Songjiang County!" After pausing, he said, "It's all the fault of the damn cunning Chinese commander. If it weren't for his Imperial Army, it would have taken Jinshan County!"

"Hai." Yamada Tetsujiro said, "But fortunately, the main force of the 10th Army has now arrived. After it is ashore, the artillery of the 10th Army can be fully unfolded. Facing the artillery of our 10th Army, especially the nearly 100 heavy howitzers of the field heavy artillery brigade, all the conspiracies of the Chinese Army will be useless!"

"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded happily, a fierce light flashed through his eyes, and said, "If the damn Chinese commander is still in Jinshan Prefecture, I have to let him taste the power of the Imperial Army! I want to use planes, tanks and heavy artillery to let him know that there is a gap like mud between the two armies of the Chinese two countries and the two armies!"

After pausing, Yanagawa Heisuke gritted his teeth and said, "By the way, has the intelligence department found out the identity of this guy?"

Yamada Tetsujiro Hayi said, and just as he was about to say that it was not yet, an intelligence officer hurried over and handed a telegram to him. After reading it, Yamada was overjoyed and said to Yanagawa Heisuke: "Your Excellency Commander, you have found out that this guy's surname is Zhong, his name is Zhong Yi, he is a child of an overseas Chinese in Myanmar! He once studied in Shanghai!"

"Zhong Yi?" Yanagawa Hei said with a grudge, "I hope you are still in Jinshan County!"

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke turned his head and instructed Kwanzaki Dora: "Kwanzaki, please don't stop your troops. After passing Zhangyan, you will go straight to Kansan County. You must take Kansan County before noon!"

"Hayi!" Kōzaki dendra bowed his head, turned around and left.

...

In Jinshan County, Zhong Yi was standing at the South Gate Tower facing the night wind.

Behind Zhong Yi were Zhang Kongyi, Wang Zilong and others.

Zhong Yi asked Zhang Kongyi: "Zhang Tuanzuo, the people have all transferred?"

"How could it be so fast?" Zhang Kongyi shook his head and said again, "But everything has been arranged."

Zhong Yi raised his wrist and looked at his watch. A trace of worry flashed through his eyes, and said, "Hurry up, the Japanese forward will arrive in Jinshan County in at most two hours!"

"Everything has been arranged, and it will definitely be transferred before 8 o'clock." Zhang Kongyi nodded and said, "But brother, do you really want to give up the outer positions?"

Zhong Yi said: "Zhang Tuanzuo still believes that the troops should be placed on the periphery?"

Zhang Kongyi said quietly: "Brother, have you never thought about shrinking all the troops into the city? After the Japanese arrived, we would just surround the city.

Speaking of this, Zhang Kongyi did not continue to talk.

But his implication was already very clear. At that time, the Japanese surrounded the city and they would be dead! So they had to leave a way out!

A hint of hatred immediately appeared on Zhong Yi's face.

How many battles do you lose? If you lose, you will lose in the meme of leaving a way out?

Not to mention anything else, I only talk about the Nanjing defense battle. If there is no way out, if the hundreds of thousands of soldiers guarding Nanjing really make up their minds to live and die with the capital, the result will be completely different!

At that moment, Zhong Yi said with ease: "Zhang Tuanzuo, are you familiar with the allusion of fighting against the enemy?"

Zhang Kongyi rolled his eyes and thought to himself that I was a graduate of Wuhan Officer School after all, how could I not know the famous allusion of fighting against the enemy?

Zhong Yi said: "Han Xin can defeat the 200,000 elite Zhao army with 30,000 untrained mobs by 30,000 people, by relying on fighting against the water and cutting off his own way of retreat! If Han Xin left a way for himself early, the outcome of the Jingshui Battle would be completely different, and the outcome of the Chu-Han battle would be completely different."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi pulled the security uniform he was wearing and said solemnly: "Zhang Tuanzuo, I have decided to live and die with Jinshan County. If you don't want to leave, I will explain the situation to the General Officer, but the troops must stay!"

"Who do you think of me, Zhang Kongyi? None of us Hunanese people are afraid of death!" Zhang Kongyi's eyes flashed with anger and said sternly, "I will put my words here today. The 367th Regiment will go down on its own. If anyone dares to be a deserter, ask whether my pistol agrees or not!"

After saying that, Zhang Kongyi took out his pistol and shot him.

Looking at Zhang Kongyi with an excited expression, a cunning smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Yi's mouth.

Yes, this is a deliberate provocation method that Zhong Yi did, and what he was guarding against was that Zhang Kongyi would have the idea of ​​preserving his strength.

Although the 62nd Division where the 367th Regiment is located has been included in the Central Army, it is only the nominal Central Army. Otherwise, Chen Cheng would not have used the 62nd Division's troops to supplement his 19th Army.

Zhang Kongyi is a pure soldier, but he is also an old soldier. The idea of ​​preserving his strength has been integrated into his bones.
