Chapter 1575 Interlocking
In Shanghai, the 13th Army Command.
Okamura Yasuji was woken up by the adjutant in his sleep, and he didn't know what had happened.
Recently, the third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle has entered a bottleneck period. Neither the Japanese nor the National Army seem to be able to make a breakthrough in a short period of time. In addition, the third phase combat plan was formulated last night and stayed up until very late, so Okamura Yasuji fell asleep for a long time and the adjutant shook him for a long time before he woke him up.
"What's wrong?" Okamura Niji put on his glasses and asked the adjutant, "What's wrong?"
"Your Excellency Commander." The adjutant said, "Just received an urgent telegram from the 15th Division. The Imperial Army in its jurisdiction showed a large-scale rebellion!"
"The Imperial Army rebelled?" Okamura Yasuji felt a sudden heart when he heard this.
Okamura Yanji suddenly remembered that for a while, he always felt a slight uneasiness in his heart, but he seemed to be unable to think of something wrong in the end.
But now, he suddenly understood.
This uncertain factor is the Imperial Army!
At that moment, Okamura Yasuji got up in his clothes and hurried to the war room.
Ishihara Kanir was one step earlier than Okamura Yasuji and had already arrived at the war room.
Seeing Okamura Yanji come in, Ishihara Kanir nodded slightly at him.
"Ishihara kun." Okamura Nishi asked anxiously, "What's the situation now?"
"The specific situation is not clear, the 15th Division and the 17th Division were also confused." Ishihara Kanji shook his head and continued, "But it can be roughly estimated that at least 300 strongholds had reversed at the same time."
"Nani? Three hundred strongholds?" Okamura's face turned black as if it were the bottom of the pot, and that was half of the stronghold.
Doesn’t this mean that in eastern Zhejiang, the entire cage policy in central Zhejiang has actually gone bankrupt? Doesn’t this mean that the 10th Army trapped in Yinjiang will be broken out?
Yes, the 10th Army! It is the 10th Army!
"Baga!" Okamura Yasuji said, "It must be the 10th Chinese Army that is about to attack!"
"Yes, Okamura-kun, you and I have gone together. I also think the 10th Chinese Army is going to attack!" After saying this, Ishihara Kanir said with gratitude, "Okamura-kun, fortunately you have the foresight and have been holding the 5th Division but haven't moved, otherwise we will be in trouble this time."
"Not necessarily." Okamura Yasuji shook his head, "I'm afraid it's a big trouble this time."
After a pause, Okamura Yasuji continued: "The 15th Division and the Imperial Army under the jurisdiction of the 17th Division are large-scale rebellion. This is something we did not expect in advance. Now, thinking about it, this is probably a secret chess buried by Zhong Yi in advance. This guy has already prepared a trap and is waiting for us to jump. It's all my fault. I should have screened these Chinese surrendered troops at the beginning."
"Yes, I really didn't expect this to be a trap." Ishihara Kan said, "However, you can't blame Okamura Jun. After all, there are so many examples to follow in North China and Central China. Who would have thought that the only Imperial Army in Zhejiang Province would surrender? And the other party was intentional, so it was difficult for us to distinguish."
After a pause, Ishihara Kaner continued, "I guess there are very few people who know the inside story. We can't arrest these battalion commanders of the Imperial Army and torture and confess."
"I won't talk about this." Okamura Yanji was also upset and said again, "Has the 5th Division started?"
"I have just conveyed the order." Ishihara nodded and said, "However, it may take some time for the 5th Division to assemble."
"After all, a group of Sichuan troops entrenched near Dongyangjiang Town had just taken an offensive posture towards Yiwu, so the 5th Division launched its troops and made a defensive posture."
Hearing this, Okamura Yasuji sighed.
"Zhong Yi!" Okamura Yasuji said, "This guy is really linked and uninterrupted. If I guess correctly, the offensive operation of the Sichuan Army near Dongyangjiang Town will definitely be a part of Zhong Yi's entire plan. The purpose is to delay the 5th Division's reinforcement of the 15th and 17th Divisions that are under attack."
Ishihara Kaner suddenly felt a little nervous when he heard this, and then quickly walked to the front of the map.
Okamura Yanji followed him to the map and stared at the map for a long time without saying a word.
"Baga!" Ishihara Kaner suddenly threw the pencil in his hand onto the map and said angrily, "It seems that the reinforcements of the 5th Division will not go smoothly."
"Yes." Okamura Yanji nodded and said, "When the 17th Division marched into Sheng County, Xinchang, the Sichuan Army entrenched in this area fled in all directions and fled into Siming Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, and near Dongyangjiang Town. We thought the Sichuan Army was defeated by the Imperial Army, but now it seems that this is not the case."
"Yes." Ishihara smiled and said with a dark face, "This is simply what Zhong Yi intended to do."
"Order!" Okamura Yasuji turned around suddenly and said sternly, "The 5th Division must complete the assembly before dawn. He must arrive in Shinchang before noon tomorrow to meet with the 17th Division!"
"Hayi!" The communications consultant bowed heavily.
...
Shaxi Town stronghold.
Anyway, the Self-Defense Force is stepping up preparations to welcome the Japanese counterattack.
Although Shaxi Town is far away from Xinchang County, a fast mobile squadron of the Japanese is stationed in Jinting Town less than 20 miles away.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese in Jinting Town will definitely come to take revenge.
In addition to the Japanese in Jinting Town, it is possible that Xikou Town and Xinchang County may also come.
Liu Er didn't know if the militia teams at more than a dozen nearby strongholds had already turned against each other, but their battalion must make the worst plan to fight alone.
Liu Wu ran over hurriedly.
"Little Wuzi, what are you here?" Liu Erhuo said, "Didn't you ask you to lead the villagers to push the trench?"
"It's flattened, and a passage has been pushed out." Liu Wu said gasping, "and the people in the town have basically been moved away."
"So fast?" Liu Er said, "You kid, okay."
While talking, a sudden sound of gunfire suddenly sounded in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, a team member ran back in a rickshaw and shouted, "Battery Commander, the Japanese are here!"
"Brothers, prepare for the battle!" Liu Er immediately took out twenty box cannons and jumped into the trenches. Liu Wu and other team members also entered the trenches and bunkers that had been dug in advance.
Not long after, a brigade of Japanese soldiers appeared on the road ahead.
At least one hundred Japanese soldiers drove over in a chariot of colors.
This is one of the dozens of "fast mobile squadrons" formed by Okamura Neji at a great cost. Each Japanese have a rickshaw car, which is very mobile and has strong combat power!
