Wollongong, the headquarters of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army.

Tsuchihashi was once singing and dancing with Hideo Baba and Sakurai Province in the big tent.

The 22nd Division has been stationed in the deep mountains and old forests for more than half a month, and in the past half a month, the 15,000 officers and men of the entire division, including the division commander Tuqiao, have been in a high degree of tension.

At this time, drinking and dancing are undoubtedly the most venting emotions.

Of course, if you are in the station, you can also choose to go to the comfort station.

But in this deep mountain and old forest, drinking and dancing is the only entertainment.

After singing the cherry blossoms, Hideo Baba twisted his ass exaggeratedly, which immediately caused Tsuchihashi and Sakurai to laugh, and the atmosphere in the tent was pushed to the climax.

At this time, a young staff officer opened the curtain and walked in, and reported: "Division commander, the first infantry brigade of the 84th Infantry Wing was ambushed by the Shina Army during the pursuit!" Most of the more than 1,000 people in the entire brigade were annihilated, and less than 300 people only escaped! ”

"Nani?" Hideo Baba said, "The Chinese army can still fight an ambush? ”

"It's to be expected." Tsuchihashi waved his hand once and said, "Those high-ranking generals of the China Army are not all straw bales, and there are still a few capable ones, so it is not surprising that the troops pursuing separately will encounter several small-scale ambushes!" As long as the whole trend is controllable, no problem! ”

"What the division commander said is extremely true, the loss of one or two infantry brigades is not a big deal, and the Zhina Army will not change the result even if it fights a few beautiful small-scale ambushes!" Sakurai said with a smile, "Come, Baba-kun and the division commander, let's drink again!" Is it my turn to dance? ”

However, as soon as the words fell, another young staff officer hurriedly walked in.

"Division Commander!" As soon as the staff officer of Shaozo came in, he paused and reported, "The 86th Infantry Wing reports that the three infantry brigades under the wing under the leadership of Wing Commander Matsuda Daisa launched a pursuit of the China Army, but on the way to the pursuit, they were ambushed by at least three regiments or more of the China Army!" ”

Tsuchihashi's face immediately fell.

Sakurai's face also showed a solemn look.

Hideo Baba asked even more urgently, "And then?" ”

"And then." Staff Officer Shao Zuo said in a deep voice, "From Matsuda Dazuo down, there are more than 700 imperial warriors in the entire infantry brigade, and none of them have been spared!" ”

"Nani?" Hideo Baba lost his voice and said, "More than 700 imperial soldiers have collectively broken jade, and none of them have been spared?!" ”

Before the words fell, another second lieutenant hurriedly entered and reported to Tuqiao: "Division commander, the 85th Infantry Wing is in an emergency, the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Infantry Wing to which the Wing belongs was ambushed by the Chinese Army at Majiaao, in which the 1st and 2nd Infantry Squadrons were collectively shattered, and the 3rd and 4th Infantry Squadrons were defeated!" ”

Hideo Baba and Sakurai Sanben turned their heads and looked at Tsuchihashi once.

One or two times can be regarded as a small probability event, and three or four times is not normal!

"Division Commander!" Hideo Baba said in a deep voice, "This is very unusual, and the sudden retreat of the Shina army is most likely a fake retreat, and its real intention is only to lure our army out of the strong fortifications, and then enter an ambush halfway!" In view of this, all wings and infantry brigades must be ordered to stop the pursuit of the Chinese army at once! ”

"Suodaga!" Tuqiao nodded heavily, and said, "Order, all infantry wings and all subordinate teams to immediately stop the pursuit of the Chinese army!" Waiting for further orders from the division headquarters! ”

Hideo Baba paused and said, "Hai! ”

……

Macheng, the headquarters of the governor of the Dabie Mountain Theater.

After listening to the report of the signal corps, Zhong Yi reached out and pulled out a small blue flag from the sand table.

Bai Chongbei, who was standing next to the sand table, immediately waved his fist vigorously, and another infantry brigade of the devil had already been hit hard, and basically lost its combat effectiveness!

Li Pinxian also hit the knot fiercely and said, "How many brigades of devils are this?" ”

"Sir Li, this is the third one!" An operational staff officer next to him said respectfully.

"The third?" Li Pinxian said with a smile, "Haha, it's only been less than three hours, we will simply eat the devil's three infantry brigades, according to this way of fighting, it won't take twenty hours, and the two divisions of the little devil will be gnawed to the ground by us!" ”

After saying this, Li Pinxian said to Zhong Yi again: "Ziren, you estimated that it would take five days before, is it too conservative?" ”

Zhong Yi glanced at Li Pinxian lightly, thinking to himself, what do you think? Do you really think that devils are idiots, and they won't have a long memory when they suffer losses, and they will still be stupid to chase separately?

But of course, Zhong Yi would not say this.

Zhong Yi said: "This is only the first round, and there will be no such good thing in the future!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "I originally thought that in the first round, how could I eat five to six infantry brigades of devils, so that the next battle would be much easier, but now that I have only eaten three infantry brigades of devils, the battle behind me will be difficult to fight, and five days is probably really not enough." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Pinxian was stunned and said, "You haven't played this round yet?" ”

"It's not good." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "However, the problem is not very big!" ”

After saying this, Zhong Yi turned around and gave the order to turn in one by one to the dozen or so signal soldiers lined up behind him.

The staff officers on the side of the sand table also took action immediately, and every time Zhong Yi gave an order, he would move the corresponding small red flag to the corresponding position.

As Zhong Yi's orders continued to be conveyed, the little red flag began to move frequently.

At a certain moment, when Bai Chongbei's gaze swept over the sand table, it suddenly froze.

But I saw that as the little red flag continued to move, two huge pocket arrays had faintly formed from the sand table.

Then, Bai Chongbei's heart suddenly froze, thinking that Zhong Yi was really powerful, this was the enemy's first opportunity, he had already guessed the devil's next move, and made targeted deployments in advance!

"Awesome!" Bai Chongbei couldn't help but admire, "This time, I'm afraid the devil will suffer a big loss!" ”

Zhong Yi shook his head, frowned and said, "The terrain is still not favorable enough, if there is better terrain, maybe it can really be completed in three days!" Sadly, this is already the most advantageous terrain that can be found! ”

Bai Chongbei nodded, and then asked, "If you fight here, it will take at least a few days?" ”

"Five days is the least!" Zhong Yi said, "If you don't play well, it is possible to extend it to seven days." ”

Hearing Zhong Yi and Bai Chongbei talking there, Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying and others next to them were at a loss.
