Chapter 416

In Dongyang County, General Gunji Gugujinji, the chief of the General Staff of the 13th Army, was on the phone with Colonel Kishiro Nakagawa, the captain of the 86th Infantry Regiment. Colonel Kishiro Nakagawa cried on the phone and wanted to go to Yiwu City to check it out. The reason was that Yiwu was the location of the 86th Regiment and his gang headquarters suffered a blow. I wanted to know immediately. The second was that his wife was in Yiwu, and he didn't know whether his wife was dead or alive.

Lieutenant General Tanigu Kishiji told Colonel Kishiro Nakagawa that the special melee team had destroyed the 22nd Division headquarters and the material warehouse and evacuated. He was sending people to Yiwu, and the front-line command center would also go to Yiwu. Once Colonel Kishiro Nakagawa was found, she would be sent to the headquarters of the Nakagawa Kishiro Nakagawa's team.

After hanging up the phone, General Gugu Jinji sighed heavily and said, "Dongyang is very dangerous. Now a regiment of the 21st Division has taken over the fortress and can kill him down the mountain at any time. Du Wei's regiment may come over at any time. Dongyang is under great pressure. Doctor Isoda will take you to Yiwu with you to put out the fire, save people, and find a suitable place. I want to move the front-line command back to Yiwu."

Lieutenant General Isoda Sabuki looked at Lieutenant General Tanigu Jinji and asked in a low voice: "What if you encounter Zhang Junhao's ambush?"

Lieutenant General Isoda Sabuki was beaten to the point where he was full of troops. The situation was so chaotic, how dare he go to Yiwu?

Lieutenant General Gugu Jinji sighed and said, "The information shows that the Yiwu melee team attacked Yiwu, and then withdrew. Just go there with confidence and boldness. After finding Mrs. Kishiro Nakagawa, she was sent to Litangshan. In extraordinary times, the morale of senior officers must be appeased."

After hesitating for a while, Lieutenant General Isoda nodded and said hi.

Lieutenant General Gugu Jinji looked to the north and sighed, "Zhang Junhao's team has all retreated into the mountains. We cannot start an attack as we did in the past as we did. As long as we find the location of Zhang Junhao's troops, we must learn from the lessons, change the attack into a siege, and find a way to trap Zhang Junhao in the mountains."

Major General Kiyuk Miyamoto sighed and said, "What should I do if Zhang Junhao breaks the traffic line between Yiwu and Zhuji? Moreover, Zhuji has only one squadron now, and Zhuji has a very heavy guard mission."

Lieutenant General Gugu Jinji said: "If Zhang Junhao wants to attack Zhuji, we cannot defend it. However, Zhuji is very close to Hangzhou. If Zhang Junhao attacks Zhuji, he cannot defend it, and he dare not defend it. Although Zhuji only has one squadron, it is not easy for Zhang Junhao to conquer it on the mountain. I judged that Zhang Junhao would not dare to attack Zhuji, and would only stay on our side, trying to fight us in a decisive battle."

Major General Miyamoto Kiyichi nodded after thinking about it and said, "If the traffic line to Suxi Township is cut off, we will go to Pujiang Prefecture."

General Gugu Jinji sighed heavily and said, "I don't know what Zhang Junhao is thinking now. This man is so elusive that we can't defend! Now Zhang Junhao's troops are no longer just the main force of the Special Melee Team, but also the security team and Du Weituan. Our main force is Zhuji Brigade, but the brigade is mainly infantry and its combat effectiveness is limited. We also have two mountain artillery squadrons, assisting the two infantry squadrons of the Dongyang Independent Brigade to defend Du Weituan's attack. If I could, I would like to transfer the two mountain artillery squadrons to Suxi Township. I think there is hope to use two infantry squadrons to block Du Weituan in the mountainous area and prevent him from getting close to Dongyang County."

Major General Miyamoto Seiichi said: "The troops are seriously insufficient!"

Lieutenant General Gugu Jinji said: "After we give up Jinhua and Lanxi, we will organize all the people who can participate in the war in that area. The troops are enough. A large number of wounded people are treasures, and the minor wounded people can fight. The military police, police and logistics support personnel all picked up their guns and walked to the battlefield. This is a decisive battle. We have no way out. Once this battle is defeated, we will all have a caesarean section. We must have this courage."

Major General Miyamoto Keiichi bowed and said hello.

Ten days later, the Japanese army gave up Jinhua and Lanxi. Lieutenant General Wang Tiehan was ordered to lead a division into Jinhua and Lanxi counties, which was warmestly welcomed by the people of Jinhua and Lanxi.

Gu Zhutong came from Qianshan County to Quzhou to coordinate the new defense work.

Media reporters from all over the country flocked to Jinhua and Lanxi. Although Wang Tiehan and Gu Zhutong were the media interview centers, the focus of the topic was Zhang Junhao. Ordinary people may think that it was Jinhua and Lanxi recovered by the 49th Army, but the media people knew that without Zhang Junhao fighting with the Japanese army in Dongyang and Yiwu, the Japanese army would not have voluntarily abandoned these two important towns. The real hero is Zhang Junhao who was still fighting with the Japanese army on the front line and his team led.

The news of recapturing Jinhua and Lanxi quickly spread throughout the country through radio waves and newspapers.

The confidence of the national military and civilian war of resistance was once again stimulated, and even the presidents of Britain and the United States sent congratulatory messages to the president. Britain and the United States decided to hold a meeting in Quebec, Canada and officially established the Southeast Asian theater. The Chinese Army General Command in India will be officially established in a few days. Stilwell is expected to be the commander-in-chief, and Luo Zhuoying is expected to be the deputy commander-in-chief. On the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese army and the Japanese army remain unchanged for the time being, but in India and the southwest, the long-planned counter-offensive operation of the Expeditionary Force is about to begin, and the situation of the anti-*** alliance in Europe and the Pacific battlefield is developing in a positive direction. For China, it is now in a dark period before dawn, but all the wise patriots have seen the dawn of victory in the War of Resistance.

Late that night, Zhang Junhao, Colonel Luo Zhong, Lieutenant-General Li Baomin, Captain Zhu, Lieutenant-Colonel Yang Jianhu, Lieutenant-Colonel Huang Yongjun, Lieutenant-Colonel Jack, Lieutenant-Colonel Xie Xinming, Lieutenant-Colonel Wang Jinxian, Li Li Li, Wu Qiong and others stood in the dense forest of Qingshangang, observing the direction of Dongshan and Niutou Mountain with a telescope.

Captain Zhu said: "The main thing guarding this area is the Pujiang Japanese Army Brigade. There are only two squadrons left in the brigade, one of which is only one and a half squadrons. I have marked the deployment of the brigade on the map."

Colonel Luo Zhong said: "The Japanese Zhuji Brigade did not go up the mountain, but was stationed on Suxixiang Street as a mobile brigade. The brigade was equipped with two mountain artillery squadrons, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. It is the main force of the Japanese army. If we attack the Japanese brigade in Pujiang, the Zhuji Brigade could arrive within an hour. The arrival time of other Japanese troops will not exceed two hours. Our garrison has actually been targeted by the Japanese army. The Japanese army is now adopting a siege strategy."

Zhang Junhao said: "The Japanese army was afraid of being beaten by us. Even if we were besieged, we would not dare to get too close. Otherwise, how could we dare to come here to observe the enemy situation? This area is a must-rescue place for the Japanese army, because once it is occupied by us, the Japanese army's way to escape to Zhuji will be cut off by us. It is impossible to drag the Japanese army down. We will have to fight the Japanese army sooner or later. It is better to fight the decisive battle early than to fight later. Because there is a registrar of the Japanese 22nd Division on the road, and no one knows when it will arrive."

Colonel Luo Zhong whispered: "I agree with your point of view, but how to fight this decisive battle in detail?"

Zhang Junhao said: "The decisive battle was first launched by the Independent Regiment. Now there are only two squadrons of infantry in the Japanese army confronting the Independent Regiment. There is a possibility of eliminating these two squadrons of Japanese army. Even if it cannot be eliminated, the war can be fought vigorously. When the two Japanese squadrons of confronting the Independent Regiment face great pressure, the Japanese army in our area may go to reinforce. Once a unit of reinforcements is over, our pressure will be much lighter."

Colonel Luo Zhong nodded and said, "The equipment of the Independent Regiment is almost the same as that of the Japanese army. The heavy weapons seized after we wiped out the Japanese army brigade in Shengzhou were distributed equally to the Independent Regiment and the Security Regiment. The number of heavy weapons of these two regiments has exceeded that of the Japanese army brigade. I thought these two regiments could be allowed to stand alone and shoulder the heavy burden."

The head of the security regiment Li Baomin walked forward and said with his chest straight: "Col. Luo is right. You should give us the opportunity to stand alone and fight a battle with the Japanese. Our security regiment has fought so many battles with you. It is no longer the security regiment that was used to destroy the Japanese army, but the powerful brigade that has the ability to independently eliminate the Japanese army. You must understand that if we eliminate the remnants of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, the special melee team will go abroad to fight, and our security regiment can only stay. In case the third war zone thinks that there is no need for security.

The security regiment is secured, and the security regiment must be disbanded. Last year, the third war zone reduced a lot of teams, and I don’t want the security regiment to disband. This regiment has condensed so much effort! If our security regiment has achieved the quality of the strong brigade in the decisive battle with the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, the third war zone will retain our regiment, and even adapt our regiment into a regular army. There is a precedent for adapting the security regiment into a regular army. The 33rd Division is adapted from the security regiment. Captain, give me a chance to the security regiment!"

Zhang Junhao looked at the eyes of the Captain Li Baomin and smiled and said, "Okay! Give you a chance. However, I want to hear your ideas, how can we fight a decisive battle."

Leader Li Baomin laughed and said, "Then I'll show off my skills!"

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "Please speak."

Commander Li Baomin laughed and said, "The decisive battle will be launched first by the Independent Regiment. I think it is a good idea. The two Japanese squadrons did not have powerful artillery. Under the attack of the Independent Regiment, they will inevitably ask for help from the 22nd Division headquarters. The 22nd Division headquarters will definitely dispatch troops to reinforce. At this time, the guards rushed to Dongshan and wiped out a half-squad of Japanese troops there. The main force of the Special Melee Team rushed to Niutou Mountain to eliminate the Japanese squadron. Sorry, I am commanding the Special Melee Team."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "As long as you are right, the special melee team will fight this battle according to your ideas."

Li Baomin laughed and said, "When the main force of the special melee team attacked the Japanese squadron of Niutoushan, the Zhuji brigade would inevitably go to reinforce. As long as the brigade moves, it would be a great opportunity for our security regiment. The three infantry battalions and artillery battalions of our security regiments will be killed down the mountain, two infantry battalions will be encircled, and one infantry battalion will protect the artillery battalion and assist the artillery battalion to carry artillery. I have already focused on the two mountain artillery squadrons of the Japanese army. When these two mountain artillery squadrons are in motion, they will cover them and ensure that they can eliminate these two mountain artillery squadrons in one fell swoop. As long as these two mountain artillery squadrons are eliminated, the teeth of the Zhuji Japanese brigade will be pulled out, and it will be easy to fight if they cannot take this battle."

Captain Zhu shouted: "According to information, the Japanese army has rebuilt another brigade in Yiwu. The brigade is mainly military police, police and wounded soldiers. What if the brigade comes to reinforce?"

Commander Li Baomin smiled and said, "In my eyes, there is only Zhuji Brigade, and the other Japanese troops are all mobs, absolutely vulnerable."

Zhang Junhao smiled and said, "Just fight this battle according to the idea of ​​Commander Li, Chief of Staff Luo will study it with everyone in detail, formulate a practical plan, and then review it for me."
