Just as the 62nd Division was recuperating and preparing for the night battle, the 63rd Division, which was responsible for blocking the attack, had entered Zhuniang Ridge near Chongren Town, Shengxian County.
Because the Japanese have a large amount of heavy equipment, they can only maneuver along the highway. Therefore, if the main force of the 17th Division wants to rush to support the 54th Infantry Regiment, it must pass through Chongren!
Of course, if the 17th Division had already captured Jinhua, that would be a different story.
Because after the Japanese army captured Jinhua, they could go back along the Yinjin Highway and directly enter Xinchang, so Chongren was no longer the only way.
But now, the Japanese army can only go through Chongren Ancient Town.
Therefore, as long as the 63rd Division seizes Zhuniang Ridge and blocks the highway, it can complete the task of blocking the enemy in Shengxian County.
In this way, the main force of the 28th Army in Xinchang County can surround and annihilate the 54th Infantry Regiment without any distractions!
Yan Jingguo, the commander of the 63rd Division, was in the fourth phase of Huangpu and was thirty-five years old. It was only the 28th year of the Republic of China. There were not many students from the fourth phase of Huangpu who became division commanders. Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian had just become division commanders.
Therefore, Yan Jingguo is actually quite capable of fighting.
However, the senior generals in the third theater basically hate Zhong Yi.
Yan Jingguo is no exception. He also hates Zhong Yi because Zhong Yi caused their 63rd Division to lack food and pay, which made them live a miserable life.
"However, hate is hate, but Yan Jingguo also knows that the battle in Xinchang is related to the overall situation, and public affairs must not be abandoned for personal reasons.
What¡¯s more, since the Zhejiang-Fujian War started, Zhong Yi specially sent a transportation team to deliver food and ammunition, so they couldn¡¯t go too far.
Therefore, after entering Zhu Niang Ridge, Yan Jingguo immediately ordered his troops to build defenses based on the road and Zhu Niang Ridge. Three of the main regiments were arranged in series along the highway, and the two main regiments occupied the commanding heights on both sides of the highway. The remaining One of the regiments stayed at the division headquarters as the general reserve for the battle.
Nearly noon, the Japanese troops arrived.
However, the Japanese troops who arrived at Chongren first were not the vanguard of the 17th Division.
The first Japanese army to arrive at Chongren was an infantry regiment of the 15th Division.
After a little probing, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the defensive positions of the 63rd Division.
About half an hour later, more than a dozen Japanese bombers rushed to the sky above Zhuniang Ridge, and they dived and strafed the defensive positions of the 63rd Division crazily.
The defenders suffered heavy casualties.
¡¡
In Yinjiang, the enemy¡¯s staff headquarters was before the Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign.
He Wenxi hurriedly walked into the war room and reported: "Come here, the 63rd Division is calling urgently. Their defensive position at the front of Zhuniang Ridge was attacked by the Japanese army. The 378th Regiment suffered heavy casualties!"
Zhong Yi nodded and asked: "Which Japanese unit attacked Zhuniang Ridge?"
He Wenxi replied: "There is no news from the military commander, but according to my judgment, it should be part of the 15th Division moving south from Shaoxing. The 17th Division cannot come so fast!"
Zhong Yi¡¯s eyes immediately fell on Shaoxing on the sand table.
Just yesterday, the Japanese 15th Division captured Shaoxing County.
This is not surprising, because the 63rd Division originally stationed in Shaoxing had already evacuated early, and the security team and patrol police in Shaoxing had already evacuated early, leaving it almost an empty city.
According to Usami Takashi's original plan, after the 15th Division captured Shaoxing, it would continue to rush eastward, pass through Shangyu and Yuyao, then go straight to the western suburbs of Yinjiang, and finally cooperate with the 116th Division heading north, and in The Fifth Division, which landed on the beach near Cixi Sanbei, encircled Yinjiang City!
But now, the Fifth Division has not landed in Sanbei, and the Fifteenth Division has also changed its direction. It seems that only the 116th Division has not been affected. At this time, Yueqing has been captured according to the original plan. Stride towards the north, if nothing unexpected happens, Yuhuan will be captured tomorrow!
Thinking of this, the corner of Zhong Yi's mouth raised a slight smile.
The entire battle situation has begun to deviate from Usami Taka's route.
¡¡
At the same time, the Japanese Thirteenth Army Headquarters in Shanghai.
Not only Zhong Yi, but Usami Takashi has also discovered this situation.
From the sand table, it can be clearly seen that the 15th Division, the 17th Division and the independent 11th Brigade have completely deviated from the original route.
Among them, the 15th Division and the 17th Division merged in the middle to re-form a center group.group.
However, the 11th independent mixed brigade that stayed in Fuchun Jiangbei gradually began to penetrate deep into the mountainous areas of northern Zhejiang, and the distance between it and the two main divisions of the Middle Road Cluster was rapidly widening.
Looking at the sand table, Usami Taka felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
Although he retained a regiment of the Fifth Division as a backup, it still seemed not very safe.
Because the national army faced by the independent 11th Brigade is Luo Zhengying¡¯s 41st Group Army! This is the unit that is best at fighting tough battles among the 41 armies of the National Army, and it is also equipped with the best equipment!
At that moment, Usami Taka turned around and asked Hyuga Shiaki: "Where is the main force of the 17th Division now?"
Hyuga Shiaki said without hesitation: "Back to the Chief of Staff, the main force of the 17th Division has just passed Shaoxing."
"Baga!" Usami Taka said bitterly, "Why couldn't the China government just build a road directly from Zhuji to Shengxian? As a result, the 17th Division had to take a detour through Shaoxing!"
Hinata Shiming was silent, this was really beyond their control.
Usami Taka asked again: "So where is the main force of the 15th Division?"
Hinata Shiming replied: "The main force of the 15th Division has already entered the north of Chongren Town, and is now launching a fierce attack on the 63rd China Division guarding Pig Lady Ridge."
"Order!" Usami Taka turned his face and said in a deep voice, "The 15th Division must break through Pig Lady Ridge at all costs in the shortest possible time!"
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff." Hinata Shiming said, "There is a saying that I should not say if I am in a humble position?"
Usami Takashi said: "Hyuga Shi-kun, do you want to say that the main force of the Tenth China Army has not completely fallen into the siege of the Kameda Regiment. At this time, the Fifteenth Division is rushing to the rescue, which is very likely to cause the Tenth Army to flee. ?¡±
"Hai." Hyuga Zhimington said first, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, it is clear that the China Army has always been good at escaping."
"I don't know about this situation." Usami Taka nodded, and then said, "But the situation at this time is special. At this time, the Fujii Brigade is alone in the north of the Fuchun River, and it is easy to be encircled by the Chinese army, so the 15th The division must rescue Kameda Regiment as soon as possible and defeat the enemy in front of them, so that the left group can return to its original route as soon as possible."
After saying this for a moment, Usami Taka continued: "In the final analysis, the main intention of the imperial army in this Zhejiang-Fujian battle is not to eliminate the effective strength of the China Army in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, but to cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway and the Zhejiang-Fujian Highway!"
"I understand the humble position." Hinata Shiming said. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
